1 Chikahi hechi Helode, akabhi chiongozi wa mkoa wa Galilaya, akajowini malobhi ghaka Yesu, 2 akabhapwaghi bhatumika bhaki, “Jonihoju nde Yohana Mbatizaji, ahyokiki kuhuma kwa bhakuwa, ndemana makili gha kutenda ngangachu ghahenga lihengu mkati jaki.”

3 Helode akabhi ankamwile Yohana Mbatizaji, na kunkonga minyololu, na kumbeka muchifungo kwa ndandi jaka Helodia, nhwanu waka Filipo, joakabhi mbeli waki. 4 Maghambu Yohana akabhi ampwaghi Helode kubha, “Nga wichu kwaku wehapa kuntogho mbomba jonihoju!” 5 Helode akapaliki namaa kunkoma Yohana, nambu akabhajowipi bhandu, kwa ndandi bhombi bhakamanyi kubha Yohana nde mlota waka Chapanga.

6 Nambu lichobha la uwangalalu wa kubhelakeka kwaka Helode, kamwali waka Helodia akahiniki palongi ja bhandu bhabhakakokakiki, na Helode akahekalile namaa. 7 Bhela Helode akapwaghiki kwa kulapa kumpekeha kamwali hoju chokapi cheanaandobhaje.

8 Kwa kujowanela malobhi gha amabhu waki, mwali hoju akandobhiki, “Umbekya mmutu waka Yohana Mbatizaji muchipalu.”

9 Nkolongwa Helode ukambiniki mtima, nambu kwa ndandi ja kulapa kola koakalapiki palongi ja bhaghene, akalaghalaki kubha lilobhu laki lijetakaliwe. 10 Bhela, Helode akantumiki mundu muchifungo akunhekata mmutu Yohana Mbatizaji. 11 Mmutu waki ukaletakiki muchipalu, na kumpekeha mwali jola, najombi akapeliki kwaka mabhu waki. 12 Bhabhulwa bhaka Yohana bhakahikiki, na kutola hyegha jaki, na kujitagha. Na bhombi bhakapiti kumpwaghi Yesu lijambu leniheli.

13 Yesu paakajowini malobhi ghaghapitalile, akabhokiki pandu pala kwa ngalawa, na kujenda pandu panga bhandu nahuli abya kanjika jaki. Na bhandu pabhakajowine, bhakunjengalili kwa magholu kuhuma ku michi jabhu. 14 Yesu paakahulwiki mungalawa mumaheku ja bahali, akaliweni lipogha likolongwa la bhandu, akabhabhoni chiha na kubhalamiha hitamu yabhu.

15 Pakwahikiki pakamihi, bhabhulwa bhaki bhakunjendili na kumpwaghila, “Pandu pambane nde pachingwenje, na lichobha lijomwike. Watabhuka bhandu bhabhokaje nahuli bhakahemala chilebhi muijiji.”

16 Yesu akabhayangiki, “Njeta ndandi ja bhombi kubhoka. Mwapekya mwehapa chilebhi.”

17 Nambu bhombi bhakamuyangiki, “Pambane tubhi na mabumunda nhwanu, na homba ibheli pena.”

18 Yesu akabhapwaghile, “Ndeta pambane.” 19 Akabhalaghalakile bhandu bhala bhatama pahi pa manyonyole. Akaghatoliki mabumunda nhwanu ghala na homba ibheli yela, akalingali kunani kumahunde, na akaipengalile. Akanukwili mabumunda ghala na kubhapekeha bhabhulwa bhaki, na bhabhulwa bhaki bhakabhaghabhi bhandu. 20 Bhandu bhokapi bhakalile na kutupila. Na bhabhulwa bhaki bhakabhongini hipandi ya mabumunda yeyahighalile, na bhakatwelaki itonga komi na ibheli. 21 Bhombi bhabhakalile bhakabhi akanalomi ngati elufu nhwanu, panga kubhalanga akambomba na bhana.

22 Yesu paakajomwi mambu ghanihagha, akabhapwaghi bhabhulwa bhaki bhakwela mu ngalawa na bhajenda kwihi ja kabheli ja bahali, chikahi hechi jombi akabhi abhatabhuka bhandu bhala. 23 Paakajomwi kubhatabhuka bhandu, akapiti kuchitombi kanjika jaki kundobha Chapanga. Na chimihi pakwahikiki, Yesu akabhi konihoku kanjika jaki, 24 chikahi hechi ngalawa jela jakabhi jihikiki kutali, jakadengadengaje na majegha, kwa ndandi mpongu ukabhi ukale.

25 Pachibhombu, Yesu akabhajendili bhabhulwa bhaki koni akabya ajenda panani ja machi. 26 Bhabhulwa bhaki pabhakumbwene akajenda panani ja machi, bhakabhi na choghoi namaa. Bhakapwaghike, “Nde lihoka!” Bhakajamalili kwa choghohi.

27 Nambu palapala Yesu akabhapwaghi, “Mlipekya mtima! Nde nepane, ngamwijoghopa.”

28 Petulu akamuyangiki, “Bambo, ngati nde wehapa, umbwaghila nhika kwaku nakabya nyenda panani ja machi.”

29 Yesu akumpwaghile, “Hikaje.” Henu Petulu akapitiki mu ngalawa jela, na kujenda panani ja machi na kunjendela Yesu. 30 Nambu Petulu paakauweni mpongu ukale, akajowipi, na akatumbwi kujibhila, koni akajamalya, “Bambo, ungengalyaye!”

31 Palapala Yesu akahatambwili chiwoku chaki, akankamwile, na kumpwaghila, “Wenga weubhi na uhobalelu uchoku! Bho, maghambu kiki ukabhi na choghoi?”

32 Panihapa bhokapi bhabheli bhakajingi mu ngalawa jela, na mpongu ukatumbili chinunu. 33 Henu bhabhulwa bhabhabhi mu ngalawa jela bhakunjojabhi Yesu, bhakapwaghaje, “Chakaka, wehapa nde Mwana waka Chapanga!”

34 Pabhakajomwi kulomboka nhwanga, bhakahikiki upambala wa ku inchi ja ku Genesaleti. 35 Bhandu bha pandu panipala pabhakamanyiki kubha nde Yesu, bhakatumiki ubholu pandu pokapi pa pambipi. Na bhandu bhakandetili Yesu bhatamwa bhokapi. 36 Bhakundobhiki abhajetakyaje bhatamwa bhakamula pena nkungilu wa ingobhu jaki. Na bhokapi bhabhakankamwili, bhakalamike.
