5 Amiina goona gawugrwe,

Yowaana yawairania otino, “Mutatoola amasendi ku awantu na amaani kandi mutata amangʼana aga owuweeyi ku omuntu. Mureke emisaara giinyu giwasuge!”
15 Awantu awaarindranga okuuza okwa Omununuzi waaingirizianga mu emioyo giawu mbwe Yowaana oyo nio owawanga *Meesia. 16 Yowaana yawairania woona otino, “Inze mbabatiisa na amanzi. Na ario amuntu omukaate okunkira ooza, omuntu owa ngʼasugre namba okusiwula engoe ezia ewiraato wiae. Iye aaza okuwabatiisa no *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda kandi no omurro.+ 17 Ari ne ekiseeso kiae mu amakono, ekia aaza okuseesra amaemba mu olwanyi lwae. Emere aaza okuta mu ekiagi, na amakunzo aaza okusamba no omurro ogutazima.” 18 Na amangʼana gandi amangi, Yowaana yaiyemba awantu na awalanzizia amangʼana amalootu. 19 No olwa Yowaana yagaania Omwami Eroode ku amangʼana aga Erodiasi muka wamwawu owa yatoola okuwa omukazi waae, kandi ku amawi gandi amangi aga Eroode yakolanga, 20 Eroode yasonga owuwi ku amawi goona aga yakola ago olwa yaingizia Yowaana mu owusiwe.+
