1 Yesu aatodha aaghila ki̱bbu̱la kya bantu aba na beeghesebuwa be ati, “Mbaghambiiye majima, bamui mu enu̱we abali hani endindi tabaku̱ku̱wa ku̱hi̱ki̱ya baboone bu̱lemi̱ bwa Luhanga bwi̱si̱ye na maani̱.”

2 Haanu̱ma ya bilo mukaagha Yesu abu̱ghi̱ye ebi, aaghenda na Peetelo, Yakobbo, na Yohaana haa mwena ghukangami̱ye, aakalayo nabo bonkaha. Banali haa mwena oghu, kususa kuwe kwahinduluwa banaloli̱ye. 3 Ngoye esi alu̱wete syelela kimui dhiyo, ti̱ taaliyo muntu nʼomui munsi oghu angu̱gu̱bhi̱ye kusinaabi̱ya asyeli̱ya atiyo. 4 Beeghesebuwa aba baabona, Eli̱ya na Musa, mbaaboneka kandi mbabu̱gha na Yesu. 5 Peetelo aamughila ati, “Mwegheesi̱ya, kyabaaye kilungi etu̱we twaba hani! Oleke tubakwelele bunumba busatu: kamui kaawe, kamui kaa Musa, na kamui kaa Eli̱ya.” 6 Aabu̱gha atiyo nanga eye na baanakiye bakaba boobahiiye kimui, kandi atamani̱ye eki alabu̱gha. 7 Niibuwo kicu kyasi̱ye kyaswi̱ki̱la Yesu, Musa, na Eli̱ya. Du̱mbi̱ elaka lyalu̱gha mu kicu eki, lyaghila liti, “Oghu niiye Mwana wanje oghu nku̱ndi̱ye, mu̱mu̱u̱ghu̱we!” 8 Beeghesebuwa aba obu baatodhi̱ye kulola, bataabona Musa na Eli̱ya, kuuyʼo baabona Yesu enkaha.

9 Obu Yesu na beeghesebuwa be basatu aba baanakotagha ku̱lu̱gha haa mwena oghu, aabeekonkomeelela ati ebi baaboone haa mwena ebi batabighambila muntu nʼomui ku̱hi̱ki̱ya obu Mwana wa Muntu, alaku̱wa kandi naahu̱mbu̱u̱ka. 10 Beeghesebuwa be aba bintu ebi baabi̱holi̱ya, bhaatu baakala mbanabu̱u̱lani̱ya bati, “Obu aabu̱ghi̱yʼo ku̱ku̱wa kandi ku̱hu̱mbu̱u̱ka, aamani̱i̱si̱i̱ye ki?” 11 Niibuwo baamu̱bu̱u̱i̱ye bati, “Nkiki kikulekagha beegheesi̱ya baa bilaghilo baghila bati Eli̱ya niiye aku̱du̱bha kwisa?”

12 Aabakuukamu ati, “Bahi̱ki̱i̱ye kughila bati Eli̱ya aku̱du̱bha kwisa kuteekani̱ja bintu byona. Bhaatu haabwaki buuye Ebyahandi̱i̱ku̱u̱we hambele mbikughilagha ngu Mwana wa Muntu, bantu bakumubona-boneli̱ya kimui kandi bambhenge? 13 Mbaghambiiye Eli̱ya akadu̱bha aasa, noo bantu baamukolʼo bintu bi̱bhi̱i̱hi̱ye ebi bakabbali̱ye, ngoku Ebyahandi̱i̱ku̱u̱we ebi bi̱mu̱bu̱ghi̱yʼo.”*9:11-13 Obu Yesu aaghi̱li̱ye ati Eli̱ya akadu̱bha kwisa, aamani̱i̱si̱yagha Yohaana Mubati̱ji̱. Matayo 11:14.

14 Yesu na beeghesebuwa be aba baaki̱dhʼo baanakyabo, baabona kiigambi̱ kya bantu kibagu̱mbi̱ye. Beegheesi̱ya baa bilaghilo bali mu kiigambi̱ eki mbahakangana na beeghesebuwa aba. 15 Obu bantu aba baaboone Yesu naasa kubeebinga, boona baasweka, du̱mbi̱ baaghenda mbali̱gi̱ta kumwebali̱ya.

16 Niibuwo aabu̱u̱i̱ye ati, “Mbiki mukuhakangana?” 17 Musaasa omui mu kiigambi̱ kya bantu eki aamughila ati, “Mwegheesi̱ya, naakuleeteeye mutabani̱ wanje nti omu̱ki̱li̱ye. Ki̱li̱mu̱ kimukwete kandi kikamuughala kanu̱wa. 18 Kikaakumukwatagha, kimugenga, bi̱hu̱lo biikala kumutuwa mu kanu̱wa, aakala kwenena ngaga, weena aghaghanaalila kimui. Naaghi̱li̱ye beeghesebuwa baawe nti bamubhingʼo kiyo, baasaaghuwa.” 19 Yesu aaghila bantu aba ati, “Ai̱ enu̱we, bantu bateesi̱ghi̱ye kwonini Luhanga! Nkuukala naanu ku̱hi̱ki̱ya dhi̱? Ti̱ nkubagu̱mi̱si̱li̱ja ku̱hi̱ki̱ya haa? Mundeetele mwana oghu.” 20 Baamuleetela ye. Ki̱li̱mu̱ ekimukwete kikaba makabona kiti Yesu, du̱mbi̱ kyatu̱ku̱mi̱i̱li̱li̱ya kimui mwana oghu, kyamugenga hansi, aatandika kusambangana, bi̱hu̱lo mbinamutuwa mu kanu̱wa. 21 Yesu aabu̱u̱li̱ya ese mwana oghu ati, “Mwana waawe oghu aamali̱ye na bulwaye obu bwile ki” Aamukuukamu ati, “Ku̱lu̱ghi̱i̱li̱la mu bwana. 22 Kikumugengagha mu mulilo na mu maasi, kyalengi̱yʼo milundi ekani̱ye kumwitilamu. Gutu, otughilile kisa, otukoonele mu mulingo ghwona okaakuba noogubha!” 23 Yesu aamukuukamu ati, “Otaghila oti, ‘Okaakuba noogubha!’ Nanga nuwaahi̱ki̱li̱i̱je, bu̱li̱ kintu kyona kikugubhukana.” 24 Du̱mbi̱ musaasa oghu aaguga ati, “Ni̱hi̱ki̱li̱i̱je, bhaatu ndi na ku̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja kukee, onkoonele mbe na kusaayʼo!”

25 Obu Yesu aaboone bantu mbali̱gi̱ta kwisa kubagu̱mba, aatanuka ki̱li̱mu̱ eki ati, “Uwe ki̱li̱mu̱ oghu ooghaaye mwana oni matui kandi kanu̱wa, omu̱lu̱ghʼo! Otalitodha kumwisʼo.” 26 Ki̱li̱mu̱ eki kyatakangana, kyamu̱tu̱ku̱mi̱i̱li̱li̱ya kimui, kyamu̱lu̱ghʼo, ti̱ aalekeelelʼo. Abaabaaghʼo baaghila bati, “Dhelu aaku̱u̱ye!” 27 Bhaatu Yesu aamukwata haa mukono, aamu̱u̱mu̱ki̱ya. 28 Obu Yesu na beeghesebuwa be baataahi̱ye mu numba, baamu̱bu̱u̱li̱ya ki̱bi̱so bati, “Ekyaleki̱ye ki̱li̱mu̱ eki kyatusaagha kubhinga nkiki?” 29 Aabakuukamu ati, “Ki̱li̱mu̱ ngʼeki, kusaba Luhanga kwonkaha niikuwo kukukibhingagha.”†9:29 Bihandiiko binji bi̱ghi̱li̱ye biti kusaba na ku̱si̱i̱ba.

30 Yesu na beeghesebuwa be baalu̱gha mu ki̱i̱kalo eki, baakwamila mu di̱si̱tu̱li̱ki̱ti̱ ya Galilaaya. Taabbalagha muntu nʼomui kumanya hambali eye na beeghesebuwa be bali, 31 nanga aabeegheesi̱yagha. Aabaghila ati, “Mwana wa Muntu, bakughenda ku̱mu̱ghobeli̱ya, bakumuhaayo mu bantu bakumwita, bhaatu haanu̱ma ya bilo bisatu ahu̱mbu̱u̱ke.” 32 Bhaatu beeghesebuwa be aba baasaaghuwa kwetegheeleli̱ya eki aabu̱ghi̱ye eki, kandi boobaha ku̱mu̱bu̱u̱li̱ya eki aamani̱i̱si̱i̱ye.

33 Obu Yesu na beeghesebuwa be baaki̱dhi̱ye mu tau̱ni̱ ya Kapelenau̱mu̱, baataaha mu numba. Niibuwo aababu̱u̱i̱ye ati, “Obu twabaagha mu kihanda mwahakanganagha ki?” 34 Baakala baholeei̱ye bhi̱i̱, nanga mu kihanda baahakanganagha haa oghu akubabaamu mukulu. 35 Haanu̱ma ya Yesu kusitama, aaghila beeghesebuwa be eku̱mi̱ na babili aba ati bamwebinge. Aabaghila ati, “Muntu weena naabbali̱ye kuba mukulu, akulaghiluwa kwebundaali̱ya kandi abe mu̱heeleli̱ya wa boona.” 36 Niibuwo aami̱li̱i̱ye mwana haagati yabo, aamwi̱dha, aamulela. Aabaghila ati, 37 “Nuwaabhasiiye mwana ngʼoni haabwanje, ni̱i̱si̱ye okuba obhasiiye. Kandi oghu akumbhasila, akuba atabhasiiye si̱ye, bhaatu oghu akantuma.”

38 Yohaana aaghila Yesu ati, “Mwegheesi̱ya, twaboone muntu naabhingʼo bantu bi̱li̱mu̱ naakoleesi̱ya li̱i̱na lyawe. Twamutanga nanga taali waatu.” 39 Yesu aaghila ati, “Mutamutanga, nanga taaliyo oghu akukola kyakuswekani̱ya kyona mu li̱i̱na lyanje, niikuwo haanu̱ma ambu̱ghʼo kubhi. 40 Kandi muntu weena naabaaye ataakutuhakani̱ya ni waatu. 41 Mbaghambiiye majima, weena oghu alibaha nankabha kiikopo kya maasi ghaa kunuwa, nanga enu̱we kuba baa Ki̱li̱si̱to, taalifeeluwa mpeela yee bbaa.”

42 Aatodha aabaghila ati, “Muntu weena nahabi̱i̱si̱i̱ye omui mu bantu abanali bato mu ku̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja si̱ye kuleka naasi̱i̱sa, alitunga kifubilo kyamaani̱. Alyehi̱su̱ki̱ya ati hakili nguli baamu̱bohi̱ye ki̱ti̱bo mu bikiya bakiboha haa kibaale kiinamu̱li̱to, bamukuba mu nanja. 43 Nahabweki mukono ghwawe nighwakuhaaghi̱li̱li̱i̱ye ku̱si̱i̱sa, oghujombʼo! Ni kilungi kughenda mu eghulu olamaaye kusaali̱ya kukukuba mu Gehena oli na mikono ebili.
