1 Obu Yesu aamali̱ye kwegheesi̱ya beeghesebuwa be eku̱mi̱ na babili, eeyongelayo kughenda kwegheesi̱ya na kutebeja mu maatau̱ni̱ ghaa mu di̱si̱tu̱li̱ki̱ti̱ ya Galilaaya. 2 Ti̱ obu Yohaana, aanabaagha mu nkomo, aaghu̱wa ebi Ki̱li̱si̱to akwete kukola, aatuma beeghesebuwa be 3 ku̱mu̱bu̱u̱li̱ya bati, “Buuye nuuwe oghu baaghi̱li̱ye bati okwisa, kedha tulindilile onji?” 4 Yesu aabakuukamu ati, “Mughende, mughambile Yohaana ebi mu̱u̱ghu̱u̱ye kandi ebi muboone. 5 Abaaghaaye maaso niibuwo baabona, abalema niibuwo baalubhatanga, abalwaye ntumbi niibuwo baakila kandi baasemela, abaaghaaye matui niibuwo baaghu̱wa, abaku̱u̱ye niibuwo baahu̱mbu̱u̱ka, kandi Makulu Ghasemeeye ghaa Luhanga niibuwo baaghalangilila banaku. 6 Ti̱ ali na mu̱gi̱sa oghu ataakuleka ku̱mpi̱ki̱li̱ja.”

7 Obu beeghesebuwa baa Yohaana aba baakuukaghayo, Yesu aatandika kughambila biigambi̱ bya bantu abaabaaghʼo ebikwetʼo Yohaana oghu. Aaghila ati, “Obu mwaghendagha mu elungu kulola Yohaana, mukaba mumani̱ye muti mukusangayo muntu wa mulingo ki? Mweli̱li̱kanagha kusangayo muntu mwoba kandi oghu atagumiiye haa eki acuuyemu? 8 Mwaghendagha kulola muntu oghu alu̱wete kusemeeye? Bbaa, nanga abaku̱lu̱walagha ngoye sisemeleeye kimui bakuukalagha mu bikaali bya bakama. 9 Ti̱ buuye mwaghendagha kulola ani̱? Mulangi̱? Ee, mbaghambiiye majima, oghu asaai̱ye mulangi̱. 10 Nanga Yohaana oghu niiye Ebyahandi̱i̱ku̱u̱we byabu̱ghi̱yʼo biti, ‘Ndituma mutumuwa wanje ahikile akuteekani̱li̱ye kihanda otakaasi̱ye.’*11:10 Malaki̱ 3:1 11 Mbaghambiiye majima, taakabaaghʼo muntu nʼomui oghu abyahuwe mukali̱, oghu aabaayʼo oghu asaai̱ye Yohaana Mubati̱ji̱. Bhaatu nankabha mwana mu bu̱lemi̱ bwʼomu eghulu, aliba na ki̱ti̱i̱ni̱sa kusaali̱ya kya Yohaana.” 12 Kandi ku̱lu̱ghi̱i̱li̱la obu Yohaana Mubati̱ji̱ aabaaghʼo ku̱hi̱ki̱ya nʼendindi, bu̱lemi̱ bwʼomu eghulu obu bukwisagha na maani̱ kandi beekambi̱ niibuwo baalengʼo kubutunga. 13 Nanga balangi̱ boona hamui na bilaghilo bya Musa, byabu̱ghagha ebyaghendagha kubʼo ku̱hi̱ki̱ya Yohaana aasi̱ye. 14 Kandi mulakaba ni̱mu̱si̱i̱ma ebi nkubaghambila, mu̱hi̱ki̱li̱je ngu Yohaana oghu niiye Ebyahandi̱i̱ku̱u̱we byaghambagha obu mulangi̱ aalangililiiye ati, Eli̱ya aku̱du̱bha kwisa.*11:14 Eli̱ya niiye Luhanga aadu̱bhi̱ye kutuma kulangilila kilo kya Luhanga ku̱twi̱la bantu musango kitakahi̱ki̱ye. Malaki̱ 4:5. 15 Oghu ali na matui ghaa ku̱u̱ghu̱wa, aaghu̱we.

16 Mujo ghuni ndaghususaani̱ya na ki? Bali nga baana basitami̱ye mu katale, kandi bakubilikila baanakyabo bati,

20 Du̱mbi̱ Yesu aatandika ku̱bu̱ghʼo bantu bʼomu tau̱ni̱ esi aakoleeyemu byakuswekani̱ya bikani̱ye, nanga ebo kubhenga kwekuukamu. Aaghila ati, 21 “Ngamulikibona enu̱we bantu bʼomu tau̱ni̱ ya Kolaji̱i̱ni̱! Ngamulikibona enu̱we bantu bʼomu tau̱ni̱ ya Bbetesai̱da! Nguli byakuswekani̱ya ebi naakoleeye ewaanu, naabikoleeye Ti̱lo kedha Si̱dooni̱, bangubaaye beeku̱u̱ki̱yemu hambele, balu̱wala ngoye sya bujune, kandi beesiigha ki̱bu̱ kyʼomu mahi̱gha. 22 Bhaatu mbaghambiiye, haa kilo kya ku̱twi̱lamu musango, Luhanga ali̱twi̱la enu̱we musango ghwamaani̱ kusaali̱ya ngoku ali̱ghu̱twi̱la bantu baa tau̱ni̱ ya Ti̱lo na ya Si̱dooni̱. 23 Ti̱ enu̱we bantu baa Kapelenau̱mu̱ abaabhengi̱ye ku̱mpi̱ki̱li̱ja, mu̱kweli̱li̱kana muti Luhanga alibaha ki̱ti̱i̱ni̱sa kyamaani̱ mu eghulu? Bbaa, alibakuba Eku̱li̱mu̱. Ti̱ nguli byakuswekani̱ya ebi naakoleeye ewaanu byakoleuwe mu tau̱ni̱ ya Sodomu, bangweku̱u̱ki̱yemu kandi tau̱ni̱ eghi yangubaaye enaliyʼo ku̱hi̱ki̱ya nʼendindi. 24 Bhaatu mbaghambiiye, Luhanga ali̱twi̱la kwonini enu̱we musango kusaali̱ya ngoku ali̱ghu̱twi̱la bantu baa Sodomu.”

25 Bwile obu, Yesu aaghila ati, “Tita, Mukama wʼeghulu na nsi, nku̱ku̱si̱i̱ma nanga majima agha okaghabisi̱i̱li̱la baamagheji kandi basomi̱ye. Waaghasu̱u̱ku̱li̱la baana bakelembe. 26 Ee, Tita, eki niikiyo waaboone ki̱ku̱dheedhi̱ye kwonini.

27 “Tita niiye akampa bu̱toki̱ bwa bu̱li̱ kintu kyona. Taaliyo nʼomui oghu amani̱ye si̱ye Mwana kuuyʼo Tita oghu, kandi taaliyo oghu amani̱ye Tita kuuyʼo Mwana, kandi nʼaba Mwana akukomaghamu kuleka mbamumanya.

28 “Munjisʼo enu̱we boona abalu̱hi̱ye kandi abaalyoteleeuwe, nkubahu̱u̱mu̱li̱ya. 29 Mundhootele kandi muleke mbeegheesi̱ye, nanga si̱ye tansaakaaye kandi tankughayagha muntu weena, ti̱ mukubona ngoku mukuba na kihuumulo mu mitima yaanu. 30 Nanga ebi nkubalaghila kukola bi̱dhooti̱ye, kandi ebi nkubbala nti mukole tabitimbikaane.”
