1 Chikahi hechi, lipogha likolongwa la bhandu bhakalibhongini kabheti, na ngachebhabhi na chilebhe. Yesu akabhalohiki kabheti bhabhulwa bhaki, na kubhapwaghila, 2 “Nabhabhone chiha bhandu abhabha ndandi bhabhi na nepani kwa machobha ghatatu, wala ngachebhabhi na chilebhe. 3 Ananalekiki bhajenda kunyumba koni bhabhi na injala anabhang'anduka mwindela, ndandi bhangi bhahumiki kutale.”

4 Bhabhulwa bhaki bhakundaluki, “Pandu pani pachingwenje, bho, anaghapatikana kwaku mabumunda gha kubhajaghanila bhandu abhabha bhokape?”

5 Yesu akabhalalukile, “Bho, mbinaghu mabumunda ghalenga?”

Bhakayangiki, “Tubhi na mabumunda saba.”

6 Bhela akabhalaghalaki bhandu bhatama pahi. Akatohi mabumunda saba ghala, na kunchengu Chapanga, na kujiheketa, na kubhapeke bhabhulwa bhaki bhaghabhila bhandu, na bhombi bhakabhaghabhile. 7 Bhakabhi kabheti na tuhomba tuchokope. Yesu akaipengalili, na kubhalaghalaki bhabhulwa bhaki bhabhaghabhila bhandu bhelabhela. 8 Bhandu bhakakuliki, na kutupila. Bhakabhongini mahighalilu na kutwelakela hitonga saba. 9 Na bhandu bhabhakuliki bhakabhi ngati elufu ncheche. Bhela Yesu akabhatawiki, 10 na palapala akakwehi mu ngalawa papamu na bhabhulwa bhaki, akapiti ku Dalimanuta.

11 Mafalisayo bhakahikiki na kutumbu kulongalane na Yesu. Kwa kumpendakela, bhakumpaliki ahenga nginyulila nahuli kulangi ngati ahuma kunani kwaka Chapanga. 12 Yesu akayomiki muroho, “Bho, mbona kibheleku chenjenu chipala nginyulila? Numpwaghi chakaka! Chibheleku chenjenu ngachipati nginyuli jokapi jela.”

13 Bhela akabhalekiki, akajingi mungalawa, na kutumbu mwanja kulomboka kwihi ja nhwanga.

14 Bhabhulwa bhakabhi bhajewiki kutotola mabumunda ghamahele, nambu bhakabhi na libumuda limu pela mu ngalawa jela. 15 Yesu akabhakanakile, “Ntama kutali na mlilingalya wichu na amila ja Mafalisayo na amila jaka Helode.”

16 Bhabhulwa bhakatumbwi kulonge bheni kwa bheni, “Apwagha bhenibhela ndandi ngachetubhi na mabumunda.”

17 Yesu akaghamanyi ghanihagha, akabhapwaghile, “Bho, ndongalane bhenibhela maghambu ngachembi na mabumunda? Bho, mwakali nga kumanya? Bho, maghambu kiki mitima jinu jitopike? 18 Mbi na mihu, nambu ngachendinga? Mbi na makutu, nambu ngachenjowana? Bho, ngachenkomboka? 19 Chikahi panahekiti mabumunda nhwanu na kubhapeke bhandu elufu nhwano, mkabhongini itonga ilenga ya mahighalilu?”

Bhakamuyangiki, “Itonga komi na ibheli.”

20 Akabhalaluki kabheti, “Na panahekiti mabumunda saba na kubhapeke bhandu elufu ncheche, mwakabhongini mahighalilu itonga ilenga?”

Bhakamuyangiki, “Itonga saba.”

21 Bhela akabhapwaghile, “Bho, mwakali le ngakumanya?”

22 Yesu akahiki ku Betisaida papamu na bhabhulwa bhaki. Bhandu bhakundeti ngalola, bhakunjopiki ankamula nahuli andamihaje. 23 Yesu akunkamwi ngalola jola chiwoku akumpeliki kunja ja chijiji. Akunhuni imata mumihu, akumbeki mabhoku, na kundalukila, “Bho, uchibhona chindu?”

24 Ngalola jola akalingiki kunani, na kupwagha, “Nabhabhona bhandu bhabhonikana ngati mikongu jejijenda.”

25 Bhela Yesu akumbeki kabheti mabhoku mumihu. Na jombi akatupiki mihu na uwezu waki wa kulola ukunkelabhukili na akaweni kila chindu wichu. 26 Yesu akumpwaghi abhuja kunyumba jaki na kundakalila, “Ngawikelabhuka kuchijiji, wala kumpwaghila mundu jokapi jola.”

27 Bhela Yesu na bhabhulwa bhapita kuijiji ya ku Kaisalia Filipi. Pabhakabhi mwindela, Yesu akabhalaluki bhabhulwa bhaki, “Bho, bhandu bhapwagha kubha nepani nde nane?”

28 Bhakamuyangiki, “Bhangi bhapwagha wehapa wa Yohana Mbatizaji, bhangi Eliya na jumu wa bhalota bhaka Chapanga.”

29 Na jombi akabhalalukile, “Mwanganya bho, mpwagha nepani nde nane?”

Petulu akayangiki, “Wehapa nde Kristo.”

30 Panihapa Yesu akabhakanaki ngabhampwaghi mundu jokapi jola malobhi ghaki.

31 Yesu akatumbwi kwabhola bhabhulwa bhaki, “Impalika Mwana waka Mundu ang'ahikaje pamaheli na kukanakika na bhazee na bhapenganyambiku bhakolongwa na bhabhola bha Shelia. Bhela anakomakikaji, na baada ja machobha ghatatu anahyokaje.” 32 Yesu akabhapwaghi lilobhi heli hotuhotu. Bhela Petulu akundohiki Yesu punkeghi, na kunkanaki ngaipwagha mambu ghanihagha. 33 Nambu Yesu akang'anambwiki, akabhalingali bhabhulwa bhaki, akunkenjuki Petulu, akapwaghaje, “Shetani, bhokaje palongi jango! Maholalelu ghaku nga ghaka Chapanga, nambu gha bhandu.”

34 Kabheti akalilohiki lipogha la bhandu papamu na bhabhulwa bhaki na kubhapwaghila, “Ngati mundu jokapi apala kunyengalela nepani, impalika alikana mwene, autola nsalaba waki na anyengalyaje. 35 Ndandi mundu joapala kukengalela womi waki mweni, anauhoaje, nambu mundu joahoa womi waki kwa ndandi jangu nepani na kwa ndandi ja Malobhi Manyahi, anaukengalyaje. 36 Bho, anakunjangatya kiki mundu kuupata ndema wokapi, na kughahoa matamu ghaki mweni? 37 Kabheti mundu anabhoha chindu bholi nahuli aghapata kabheti matamu ghaki mweni? 38 Mundu jokapi muchibheleku chenjenu chihakau na changakubha na ulongwana kwaka Chapanga, joamone iyoni nepani na mabholu ghangu, Mwana waka Mundu anambonila iyoni mundu hoju, chikahi paanahikaje mu ulumbalilu wa Atati waki papamu na bhatumika bhahuhu bha kunani kwaka Chapanga.”
