1 Yesu paakajomwili kulonge mambu ghanihagha kwa bhandu, akapiti ku Kapelenaumu. 2 Konihoku kukabhi na nkolongwa jumu wa manjolinjoli mia moja wa ku Loma, joakabhi na mtumika waki joakampaliki namaa. Mtumika hoju atendika kulwala pambipi na kupotela. 3 Nkolongwa hoju paakajowini malobhi panani jaka Yesu, akabhatumiki bhazee bhakumu Bhayahude bhajenda bhakundobha Yesu ahika andamiha mtumika waki. 4 Pabhahikiki kwaka Yesu, bhakumpembali namaa, bhakapwaghiki, “Unjangatya mundu ajoju, 5 maghambu abhapala bhandu bha inchi jitu, na nde joatuchengi nyumba ja kuhimangani Bhayahude.”

6 Bhela, Yesu akapiti papamu nabhu. Paakaheghali kuhika pa nyumba jaka nkolongwa hoju, nkolongwa hoju akabhatumiki bhakochi bhaki bhumpwaghila Yesu, “Bambo, ngawaling'aha kuhika kone. Ndandi nenga ngachembalika kukujopale wenga ujingala mu nyumba jangu. 7 Nde ndandi nilibhoniki ngachembalika kuhika kwako. Henu ulongila pe lilobhi, na mtumika wangu anaalamaje. 8 Ndandi nepani nanatu nde na mundu nemi pahi ja ujemelelu wa bhakolongwa, na mi na manjolinjoli pahi jangu. Numpwaghi jumu, ‘Ujendaje!’ Na jombi ajenda, na numpwaghi jongi, ‘Uhika!’ Na jombi ahika. Na ananumpwaghi mtumika wangu, ‘Uhenga anana!’ Na jombi ahenga.”

9 Yesu paakajowini malobhi ghanihagha, akakangichi namaa, na akaling'anambuki lipogha la bhandu lelabhi lunjengalela na kupwagha, “Chakaka numpwaghila ngachenabhali kumbona mundu joabhi na uhobhalelu ngati ghongone, njeta hata ku Izilaeli!”

10 Bhela bhandu bhala pabhahikiki kunyumba jaka Nkolongwa wa ku Loma jola bhakumketanili mtumika jola alamike.

11 Palongi pachokopi, Yesu akapiti ku muchi ghoulowakeka Naini papamu na bhabhulwa bhaki, koni akalongana na lipogha la bhandu. 12 Henu, paakabhi aheghale ndyangu ukolongwa wa muchi, bhakapitali bhandu bhabhatowi ntuwi waka nkombu jumu, mwana kanjika waka mabhu joaweliwi na ndomi. Bhandu bhamaheli bha muchi ghola bhakabhi papamu na mabhu jola. 13 Bambo paakambweni mabhu jola, akamboni chiha, na akampwaghi, “Ngawilela.” 14 Bhela, Yesu akapiti palongi na kukamu chitanda, na bhabhatowi chitanda bhakajemiki. Yesu akapwaghiki, “Nkombo! Nukupwaghi ujumukaje!” 15 Nkombu joakapotili jola akajinwiki na kutumbu kulongela, na Yesu akampeki mabhu waki.

16 Bhandu bhokapi bhakatweliwi na choghohi na bhakundumbali Chapanga bhakapwaghaje, “Mlota nkolongwa waka Chapanga apitali kwitu, Chapanga ahikiki kubhakengale bhandu bhake.”

17 Malobhi ghanihagha Yesu ghahengiki ghakajaghani ku ndema wokapi wa ku Yudea na inchi yokapi ya pambipi.

18 Bhabholu bhaka Yohana Mbatizaji bhakampwaghi Yohana mambu ghala ghokapi ghaghapitalile, bhela Yohana akabhakemiki bhabhulwa bhaki bhabheli. 19 Na kubhatuma kwaka Bambo kundalukila, “Bho, wehapa le nde jola joakapwaghiki Yohana ahika, au tundendalya jonge?”

20 Bhandu bhala pabhahikiki kwaka Yesu bhakumpwaghile, “Yohana Mbatizaji atutumiki tukulalukyaje, ‘Bho, wehapa le nde jola joahika au tundendalya jonge?’ ”

21 Chikahi chelachela, Yesu akabhalamihi bhandu bhangi bhamaheli namaa, bhabhakabhi na itamwa na bhabhakamuliki na majobhi, na kubhatenda akangalola kuweza kulola. 22 Yesu akabhayangiki bhabholu bhaka Yohana akapwagha, “Njenda mkumpwaghila ghokapi ghamughaweni na kughajowana, akangalola bhalola, iwete bhajenda, bhabhabhi na malohi banyambiswa, akangajowa bhajowana, bhakuwa bhayohakeka, na Malobhi Manyahi ghatangwazwa kwa bhahochu. 23 Apengaliki mundu jwangakubha na makangachu na nepani!”

24 Bhabholu bhaka Yohana pabhakabhokiki, Yesu akatumbwi kubhapwaghi mapogha gha bhandu panani jaka Yohana, “Bho, mkapiti kulipololu, kulinga kyane? Bho, mpalika kubhona litete lelinyuhakika na mpongo? 25 Ngati ngabhela, bho, henu mkapiti kulinga kyane? Bho mkapiti kumbona mundu joawati ingobhu inyahi? Bhabhawata ingobhu inyahi na kutama matamu gha kulihekeha bheni nakanopi, bhatama mu manyumba gha kikolongwa! 26 Henu mbwaghilaje, bho, mwakapiti kulingali kike? Bho, mkapiti kundinga mlota waka Chapanga? Hena, nambu mumbweni nkolongwa kupeta mlota waka Chapanga. 27 Hajoju nde Yohana joalongaleka mu Malembu Mahuhu, ‘Chapanga akapwaghiki, ananuntuma mbolu wangu akulongulyaje nahuli akulenganakya indela.’ ” 28 Bhela Yesu akabhapwaghile, “Pachilanda ja bhandu bhokapi bhabhabhelakiki na mbomba Yohana Mbatizaji nde nkolongwa. Nambu joabhi nchokuchoku nakanopi mu Ukolongwa waka Chapanga nde nkolongwa kupeta Yohana.”

29 Bhandu bhokapi, papamu na bhajopa kode pabhakajowini ghahihagha bhakajetakili kubha indela jaka Chapanga nde jambone, na bhandu bhanihabha nde bhala bhabhakabatizwi na Yohana. 30 Nambu Mafalisayo na bhabhola bha Shelia bhakakaniki indela jaka Chapanga kwabhu, kwa kukana kubatizwa na Yohana.

31 Yesu akajendali kupwagha, “Bho, ananabhalenganisha bhandu bha kibheleku chenjenu na kike? Bho, bhandu abhabha bhalengana na kike? 32 Bhalengana na bhana bhabhatemi palighulio. Lipogha limu lakabhapwaghila lipogha lengi, ‘Tunhoni filimbe, nambu ngachenkinike! Tujembili nyembu ya maombulezu, nambu ngachendelike!’ 33 Kwa ndandi Yohana Mbatizaji akahikiki, akakongiki kula chilebhi na kunywa divai, nanamu mkapwaghiki, ‘Abhi na majobhi!’ 34 Mwana waka Mundu akahikike, na akulikaji na kunywa, nanamu mkapwaghiki, ‘Mundingalya mundu ajoju! Ndou na ndobhela, nkochi wa bhajopa kode na bhana mahoku!’ 35 Nambu mbulau jaka Chapanga jimanyakini kubha jamboni kwa bhandu bhokapi bhabhajijetakela.”

36 Mfalisayo jumu akankokiki Yesu kula chilebhi cha pakamihi kunyumba jaki. Na Yesu akapiti kunyumba jaka Mfalisayo jola akatamiki na kula chilebhi. 37 Mu muchi ghola kukabhi na mbomba jumu joakabhi na mahoku. Paakajowini kubha Yesu akulika chilebhi mu nyumba jaka Mfalisayo hoju, akaletiki libotolu lelalenganakiki kwa liganga la alabhasta na mkati jaki kukabhi na mahuta gha kunungi wichu. 38 Akahiki kujema pambipi ja magholu ghaka Yesu, akaleliki na maholi ghaki ghakahabhuki pa magholu ghaka Yesu. Mbomba jola akaghahungwi magholu ghaka Yesu kwa majunju ghaki, na kughabusu magholu na kughapaka mahuta gha kunungi wichu. 39 Mfalisayo joakankokiki Yesu paaghaweni ghanighala, akaliholali muntima waki, “Ngati mundu ajoju akabhi chakaka mlota waka Chapanga, akabya amanyi mbomba joankamu ajo wa ntundu bhole, kubha nde mwana mahoku!”

40 Yesu akampwaghi Mfalisayu jola, “Simoni, mili na lilobhi la kukupwaghila.”

Simoni akamyangiki, “Ena Mbola, umbwaghilaje.”

41 Yesu akatumbwi kulongela, “Kukabhi na mundu jumu mwana mbija joakabhajahiki bhandu bhabheli mbija, mundu jumu akunjahiki ipandi mia nhwanu ya madini gha feza, na jongi ipandi hamsini ya madini gha feza. 42 Bhokapi bhabheli njeta joakaweziki kukelabhuha mbija, bhela mwana mbija hoju akabhalekakili bhokapi bhabheli. Bho, jwaku panihapa kwa bhabheli habha joanaampala nakanope mwana mbija?”

43 Simoni akayangike, “Nholake kubha mundu jola joalekakiwi mbija yamaheli.”

Yesu akumpwaghile, “Uyangiki chakaka.” 44 Panihapa Yesu akung'anambuki mbomba jola, na kumpwaghi Simoni, “Bho, umbona mbomba ajojo? Nyingi munyumba jaku, ngacheumbeki machi gha kugholola magholu ghangu, nambu mbomba ajoju ang'olwi magholu ghangu kwa maholi ghaki na kunhungu kwa majunju ghaki. 45 Ngacheunamukili kwa kunibusu, nambu mbomba ajoju kutumbu paajingala pambani, ngacheakotwiki kunibusu magholu ghangu. 46 Ngacheumbakiki mahuta pamutu jangu, nambu mbomba ajoju ambakiki mahuta gha kunungi wichu mu magholu ghangu. 47 Bhela nukupwaghila, ndandi alekakiwi mahoku ghaki ghamaheli, bhela ambaliki nakanope. Nambu mundu joalekakiwi pachokope, apala pachokope.”

48 Bhela Yesu akumpwaghi mbomba jola, “Ulekakiwi mahoku ghaku.”

49 Nambu bhokapi bhabhabhi papamu naku koni bhakakula chilebhe bhakatumbwi kulaluwana, “Bho, ajo nane joaweza kubhalekake bhandu mahoku?”

50 Nambu Yesu akumpwaghi mbomba jola, “Uhobhalelu waku ukukengalili wenga, ujenda kwa lukwale.”
