1 Mu kabhalilo kala umalafyale uHelooti*14:1 Bhelenga ingamu iya UHelooti ku Mashu aMaheesha. akapulika shiisho uYeesu akashibhombagha. 2 Po akabhabhuula abhabhombi bhaake akati, “Uyo ghwi Yoohani uMwoshi yuuyo ashuukite. Yo yiiyo nongwa iyi ali na maka agha kubhomba ifyika.”

3 UHelooti akayugha ulwo paapo akabha amukolite uYoohani, akamupinya nu kumubhiika mu nyumba iya bhapinyighwa. Akamupinya ku nongwa iya kumwegha uHelotiiya yuuyo akabha mukashi ughwa Filipu, umunungʼuna ghwake. 4 Paapo uYoohani akamubhuulagha uHelooti akatingi, “Indaghilo isha Moose shitakwitikisha ukumwegha umukashi ughwa munungʼuna ghwako.”†14:4 Ukukongana ni nyiiho isha Bhayuuta, ghukabha mwiko umundu ukumwegha umukashi ughwa ghwamwabho bhwo akaali mwumi (Bhalaabhi 18:16; 20:21). 5 Po uHelooti akalondagha isila iya kumughogha uYoohani, loole akooghopagha abhandu ku nongwa iya kuti bhakamwitikagha uYoohani ukubha musololi.

6 Bhwo lyafika ishiku ilya kukumbuka ukupaapighwa ukwa malafyale uHelooti, umulindu ughwa Helotiiya akalebhela pandaashi pa bhaheesha. 7 Bhwo aalebhela, uHelooti akahobhoka leka nu kufinga ukumupa umulindu yula kooshi kaako abhaghiile ukumusuuma. 8 Ku nongwa iya kusongighwa nu ngʼina, umulindu yula akamubhuula uHelooti akati, “Ingusuuma ghuumbe umutu ughwa Yoohani uMwoshi mu isiniya.” 9 Umalafyale akaswimaana leka, loole ku nongwa iya kuloolika ukwo pandaashi pa bhaheesha bhala, akalaghila ukuti bhamupe umulindu yula. 10 Po uHelooti akamutuma umundu yumo yuuyo akabhuuka nu kumuputula uYoohani umutu mu nyumba iya bhapinyighwa. 11 Umundu yula akiisa nu mutu ughwa Yoohani mu isiniya nu kumupa umulindu yula, ghwepe akamupa ungʼina. 12 Pabhumalilo, abhamanyili abha Yoohani bhakabhuuka pakughwegha umufimba nu kughushiila mu ipumba. Po bhakabhuuka pakumulingaania uYeesu shooshi shiisho shikabhoneka.

13 Bhwo uYeesu aapulika shooshi isho, akatiila pala nu bhwato nu kubhuuka pabhushiifu. Loole bhwo abhandu bhaapulika, bhakaghenda nu tulundi ukufuma mu twaya twabho, bhakamukonga uYeesu kuukwo akabha. 14 Po bhwo iika mu bhwato, akachibhona ichilundilo ichikulu icha bhandu, akabhapelela ichisa nu kubhaposha abhabhine bhaabho.

15 Bhwo lyabha lya namasubha, abhamanyili bhaake bhakiisa nu kumubhuula uYeesu bhakati, “Panu tuli patali nu twaya utwa bhandu, ubhushiku bhwapalamila. Bhalaghe abhandu abha ukuti bhabhuuke pakughula ifindu mu twaya utunandi tuutwo tuli papiipi.” 16 UYeesu akabhaamula akati, “Bhatakulondighwa ukubhuuka. Umwe, bhape ifindu abhandu abha.” 17 Bhoope bhakamwamula bhakati, “Tuli ni mikati mihaano ni iswi shibhili.” 18 UYeesu akabhabhuula akati, “Isagha nafyo kukwangu.” 19 Po akabhalaghila abhandu bhala ukuti bhiikale pa chiposo. Akeegha imikati mihaano yila ni iswi shibhili shila, akatesha kumwanya, akapaalisha kwa Chaala. Po akayibheghulania, akabhapa abhamanyili bhaake, bhoope bhakabhayabhila abhandu. 20 Abhandu bhooshi bhakalya nu kwikuta. Po bhwo bhaalya, abhamanyili bhaake bhakabhungaania utubhululusha utwa mikati ni iswi shila nu kwisusha utupombo kalongo na tubhili (12). 21 Abhandu bhaabho bhakalya imikati yila, bhakabha abhaliisha abhoelufu bhahaano chishita kubhelenga abhakolo na bhaana.

22 Nakalinga, uYeesu akabhalaghila abhamanyili bhaake ukuti bhiingile mu bhwato, bhatangile ukubhuuka ku isiila ilya sumbi bhwo akuchilagha ichilundilo icha bhandu. 23 Bhwo aachilagha ichilundilo icha bhandu chila, uYeesu akakwela mwene pa kaghamba, pabhushiifu ukuti iipuute kwa Chaala. Bhwo lyafika ilya namasubha, akabha akaali ali pa kaghamba mwene. 24 Mu kabhalilo ako ubhwato bhukabha bhwafika pakati pa sumbi, loole inguli shikabhukomagha paapo ichikungu chikabhukukilagha. 25 Bhwo ubhushiku bhwapalamila ukucha, uYeesu akabhuuka ku bhamanyili bhaake bhwo akughenda pamwanya pa sumbi. 26 Loole bhwo abhamanyili bhaake bhaamubhona uYeesu akughenda pamwanya pa sumbi, bhakooghopa ngaani, bhakakuuta inguuto bhakati, “Mushuuka!” 27 Nakalinga, uYeesu akabhabhuula akati, “Ikasha indumbula, neene. Manye mwoghopaghe.” 28 UPeeteli akamwamula akati, “Ghwe Malafyale, linga ghweghwe nalooli, imbuule ukuti niise paapo uli bhwo ingughenda pamwanya pa miishi.” 29 UYeesu akamwamula akati, “Isagha.” Po uPeeteli akiika mu bhwato bhula, akaanda ukughenda pamwanya pa miishi ukubhuuka kwa Yeesu. 30 Loole bhwo aachibhona ichikungu ichikali, uPeeteli akooghopa leka, akaanda ukutwibha mu miishi. Po akaanda ukukoma ulwama akati, “Ghwe Malafyale, imboke!”

31 Nakalinga, uYeesu akagholosha akakono, akamukola, akamubhuula akati, “Ghwe ghwa lwitiko ulunandi, kali, kwilaamwa kooni?” 32 Bhwo uYeesu nu Peeteli bhiingila mu bhwato, ichikungu chila chikabhoteela. 33 Po abhamanyili bhaabho bhakabha mu bhwato, bhakamwipuuta uYeesu bhakati, “Nalooli, ughwe ghwe Mwana ghwa Chaala!”‡14:33 Bhelenga ishu ilya UMwana ughwa Chaala ku Mashu aMaheesha.

34 Bhwo uYeesu na bhamanyili bhaake bhaalobhoka usumbi ughwa Ghalilaayi, bhakafika mu chiisu icha Ghenesaleeti. 35 Bhwo abhandu abha mu chiisu chila bhaamanya ukuti ghwi Yeesu, bhakafumusha inongwa shaake mumbafu shooshi. Po abhandu bhakiisa na bhabhine bhooshi kwa Yeesu. 36 Bhoope bhakamusuuma uYeesu ukuti abhiitikishe abhabhine bheeghelesheeshe ku chipeto icha mwenda ghwake. Po abhabhine bhooshi bhaabho bhakeeghelesha, bhakapola.
