1 Hano Yeesu yamariri okubhabhuurira esaango ya abhaatu amangʼana gayo goosi, akagya akasikira mumugye gwa Kaperinaumu. 2 Mumugye guyo yaari arimu omukuru owumwe wa abhasirikare bhe Ekirooma. Omusirikare wuyo, yaari no omuhokya wuno yaamuseegiri bhukongʼu, nawe omuhokya wuyo yaari omurweeri wo okukwa.

3 Kimwe, omusirikare wuyo, hano akiigwa engʼana iguru ya Yeesu, akatuma abhakaruka abhaandi bha Abhayahudi ku Yeesu, bhamusabhe yiize okumuhorya omuhokya waaye. 4 Abhakaruka bhayo, hano bhaahikiri ku Yeesu, bhakamwiisasaama bhukongʼu, bhakamubhuurira, “Omuutu wuno, areenderwa omukorere engʼana yino, 5 kwo okubha aseegiri abhaatu bha mukyaaro kyeetu. Na niwe atwoombokeeri enyuumba yeetu ye esaango.”

6 Niho Yeesu akagya hamwe na abhakaruka bhayo. Na hano bhaari bhagwiisukiiri omugye gwo omukuru wa abhasirikare, omukuru wuyo akatuma abhasaani bhaaye, bhakagya ne engʼana ku Yeesu, bhakamubhuurira, “Ee Omukuru, otiinyaakya bhukongʼu, kwo okubha nitakungʼarira osikire owaane. 7 Nikarora kubha nitakweenderwa kuuza owaazo. Nawe gaamba engʼana yimwe ego, omuhokya waane arahora. 8 Nimenyiri arahora, kwo okubha enye noosi niri iyaasi wa abhakuru bhaane, na ninabho abhasirikare iyaasi waane. Ndaamubhuurire owumwe, ‘Noogye,’ aragya. Ndaamubhuurire owuundi, ‘Nawuuze,’ woosi araaza. No omugya waane, ndaamubhuurire, ‘Kora ego,’ niigo araakore.”

9 Hano Yeesu akiigwa gayo, akamuruguura bhukongʼu. Akiikibhukira esaango ya abhaatu bhano bhaari bharamutuniirira, akabhabhuurira, “Ndabhabhuurira, naabhe gati wa Abhiiziraeri bhoosi, nikyaari kurora omuutu wowoosi wo obhwiikirirya bhukuru kya bhuno!”

10 Na hano abhasaani bho omusirikare bhaakyooriri mumugye gwo omusirikare wuyo, bhakabhona omuhokya ahoriri.

11 Eriibhaga isuuhu, Yeesu akagya kumugye gwa Naini, hamwe na abhaanabheega bhaaye, na abhaatu abhaandi bhaaru bhaari bharamutuniirira. 12 Na hano yaari ariisukira ekisyooko kyo omugye, akasikana na abhaatu bhano bhaari bhakigegiri ekituundu kyo omumura bharakihira igutu yo omugye. Omumura wuyo, yaari omwaana omweene kunina, neewe yaari omutuumba. Omukari wuyo, yaari arageendania na abhaatu bhaaru bho omugye guyo.

13 Hano Omukuru yamuruuzi omutuumba wuyo, akamurorera ebhigoongi, akamubhuurira, “Otarira.” 14 Akiisukira ekirago kino omuku yaari iguru waku, akakikuniaku. Na abhaatu bhano bhaari bhakigegiri, bhakiimeerera. Yeesu akabhuga, “Awe omumura, ndakubhuurira, bhuuka!” 15 Omumura wurya yaari akuuri, hayohayo akabhuuka, akiikara, akataanga kukeerenia kweeki. Niho, Yeesu akamugwaatya nina waabhu.

16 Abhaatu bhayo bhoosi, bhakaruguura no okugwaatwa no obhwoobha bhwaaru, bhakataanga kumukumya Taatabhugya, bharabhuga, “Omurooti omukuru arweereri gati yeetu!” Bhakagaamba kweeki, “Taatabhugya yiiziri kusakirya abhaatu bhaaye!” 17 Na amangʼana gayo iguru ya Yeesu, gakanyaragana bhukongʼu mu Yudea yoosi, na mubhyaaro ebhiindi bhya haguhi.

18 Hano Yeesu ahaabha arakora gayo goosi, Yohana akiigwa amangʼana okurwa kubhaanabheega bhaaye. 19 Kweego Yohana neewe akabhabhirikira abhabhiri bhaabhu, akabhatuma bhagye kumubhuurya Yeesu, “Awe naawe Masiya wuno araaze, kasi tumuganye owuundi?”

20 Hano abhabhiri bhayo bhaamuhikiiri, bhakamubhuurira, “Yohana Omubatiizi atutumiri kwaawe, tukubhuurye, ‘Awe naawe Masiya wuno araaze, kasi tumuganye owuundi?’ ”

21 Kwiibhaga riyoriyo, Yeesu ahaabha arahorya abhaatu bhaaru amarweeri gaabhu, na bhano bhaari bhayaangahiri na amasaambwa amabhi. Na ahaabha arahorya abhahoku bhaaru, bharore.

22 Niho, Yeesu akabhakyoora, “Mugye mumubhuurire Yohana gano muruuzi, na gano mwiigwiiri. Abhahoku bhararora, amagata bharageenda, abhageenge bharahora, abharibhi bha amatwi bhariigwa, abhaku bhararyoorwa na abhataka bhararwaazirwa Amangʼana Amazomu ga Taatabhugya.*Omurooti Isaya akaroota kubha, Krisito arakora amangʼana gayo. Rora Isaya 35:5-6, 61:1. 23 Hakiriku omuutu wuno akugeenderera kuniikirirya kutama kubha no obhwiitiimaati iguru waane!”

24 Kumara abhabhiri bhayo bhakagya, Yeesu akataanga okubhuurira esaango ya abhaatu iguru wa Yohana. Akabhabhuurya, “Hano mwaagiiri mwiitirigo kurora Yohana, mbe, mukagya kuroraki? Mbe, mukagya kurora omuutu wuno akwiikirirya amangʼana goosi kyeego maara yino ekusiingiswa kwo obhukama? Zeyi. 25 Ambe, mukagya kuroraki? Mbe, mukagya kumurora omuutu wuno yiibhohiri emyeenda emizomu? Zeyi. Abhaatu bhano bhakwiibhoha emyeenda gyo obhuguri obhukuru no okwiizomya kwo obhwaaru bhwe ebhigiro, bhayo bharabha bhariikara muziinyuumba zye ekitemi.

26 “Nawe, mukagya kuroraki? Mbe, mukagya kumurora omurooti omurebhe? Eheene ni murooti, kweeki ndabhabhuurira, Yohana ni mukuru kukira omurooti. 27 Wuyo niwe wuno Amakaamo Amahoreeru gakubhuga iguru waaye,

28 Yeesu akabhuga kweeki, “Ndabhabhuurira obhuheene, mubhaatu bhoosi bhano bhiibhwiirwe mukyaaro akyaari kutuuka omukuru kukira Yohana Omubatiizi. Nawe omuutu omusuuhu kukira bhoosi mubhutemi bhwa Taatabhugya, niwe omukuru kukira Yohana Omubatiizi.”

29 Abhaatu bhayo bhoosi, hamwe na abhatobhya bhe eriigooti, hano bhakiigwa amangʼana ga Yeesu, bhakiikirirya kubha amiiseego ga Taatabhugya gaari mazomu, kwo okubha nibho bharya Yohana yabhabatiiziri. 30 Nawe Abhafarisayo na abheegya bhe emigiro, bhakaanga amiiseegi ga Taatabhugya kweebho, kwo okubha bhataabatiizirwe na Yohana.

31 Kweeki Yeesu akabhuga, “Abhaatu bho orwiibhuro runo, nibhatuubhanie naki? Ni bha tuubhoki? 32 Bhatuubheeni na abhaana bhano bhakwiikara kumuteera, bharabhirikira abharikyaabhu,

33 “Kweego, hano Yohana Omubatiizi yiiziri, yaari atakurya emikaate, naabhe okunywa amaanzi go omuzabibu.‡Emikaate na amaanzi go omuzabibu ni bhyaakurya bhyo orusiku rworwoosi ku Bhayahudi. Emwe muragaamba kubha, agwaatirwe ne eriisaambwa eriibhi! 34 Enye Omwaana wo Omuutu hano niiziri, nihaabha ndarya ebhyaakurya bhye eziisiku zyoosi na nihaanywa amaanzi go omuzabibu, bhakabhuga, ‘Murore! Wuno ni musoohu no omunywi, kweeki ni musaani wa abhatobhya bhe eriigooti, na abhaatu bhe ebhibhi!’ 35 Nawe, amangʼeeni ga Taatabhugya gararorekana kubha ge eheene kwe enzira ya abhaatu bhoosi bhano bhakumwiigwa.”

36 Yaari ariho Omufarisayo owumwe, akamuginihya Yeesu yiize kurya owaaye. Niho, Yeesu akasikira mumugye gwaaye, akabha mwiigari. 37 Na mumugye muyo, yaari arimu omukari owumwe, wuno amenyekeeni kubha ariikara obhwiikari obhubhi. Omukari wurya, hano akiigwa kubha Yeesu ararya wo Omufarisayo wuyo, akasikira muyo ne enzubha yino ekorirwe ne eriigina eryeero, na yaari etuurirwemu amaguta gano gakureetya. 38 Akiimeerera haguhi na amaguru ga Yeesu, akataanga kurira. Eziingusuri zaaye zikatoonyera amaguru ga Yeesu, yaari arazitarikya ne eziinzweeri zyaaye, akahuumbatahuumbata amaguru gaaye, no okumuhaka amaguta go omuruumbaaso.

39 Omufarisayo wuyo, hano yaruuzi gayo, akiiseega mukoro yaaye, “Omuutu wuno, yaangabheeri omurooti, yaangamenyiri kubha, omukari wuno akumukunia, ni muutu wa tuubhoki. Yaangamenyiri kubha, ewe ariikara obhwiikari obhubhi!”

40 Yeesu akamubhuurira, “Awe Simooni, nine engʼana yo okukubhuurira.”

Woosi akamukyoora, “Ee Omweegya, mbuurira.”

Niho, Yeesu akabhuga, 41 “Bhahaabhaho abhaatu bhabhiri, bhano bhoosi bhaari bharatunibhwa eziimbirya no omuhaani. Owumwe waabhu, ahaabha agegiri eziidinaari§Eziidinaari ni mbirya ze ekyaaro kya Abharooma. Edinaari yimwe yaari ya amariho go orusiku rumwe kumuhokya we emirimo. magana ataano (500). Omurikyaaye woosi, akagega eziidinaari miroongo etaano (50). 42 Bhoosi bhabhiri, bhakabhurwa eziimbirya zyo okumuriha endihi yo omuhaani wuyo. Kyaamwe omuhaani akabhaabhira, bhatariha. Bhoono, gati wa abhabhiri bhayo, ni wuuhe araamuseege bhukongʼu?”

43 Simooni akamukyoora, “Ndiiseega kubha, arabha ni wurya yaabhiirwe endihi ekuru.”

Yeesu akamubhuurira, “Eriikyooro ryaazo ni zomu.”

44 Niho, Yeesu akamwiikibhukira omukari wuyo, akamubhuurira Simooni, “Oramurora omukari wuno? Kweema nisikiiri mumugye gwaazo, otaanisuungʼaaniri kwo okuuniha amaanzi go okwiisaabha amaguru gaane,*Ku Bhayahudi, yaari nyaangi okumuhaana omugini amaanzi go okwiisaabha amaguru gaaye, kwo okubha eziinzira zyaari zyo oruteeri hamwe amatoto, eriibhaga rye embura. nawe ewe, aniisaabhirye amaguru gaane ne eziingusuri zaaye, no okugatarikya ne eziinzweeri zaaye. 45 Na hano wanikeerirye, otaanihuumbatiri, nawe ewe, okurwa eriibhaga nisikiiri muno, akyaari kurosa kuhuumbata amaguru gaane. 46 Otaanisuukiri kwo okunihaka amaguta omutwe gwaane, nawe ewe, ahakiri amaguru gaane, amaguta go okureetya! 47 Kweego ndakubhuurira, kwo okubha ebhibhi bhyaaye bhyaaru bhyaabhiirwe, akeerekya obhuseegi bhwaaru. Kyaamwe, wuyo woosi wuno yaabhiirwe ebhibhi bhisuuhu, areerekya obhuseegi bhusuuhu.”

48 Niho, Yeesu akamubhuurira omukari wuyo, “Nikwaabhiiri ebhibhi bhyaazo.”

49 Abhagini abhaandi bhano bhaari mwiigari, bhakataanga kwiibhuurya, “Ni weewi wuno, aratura okwaabhira ebhibhi?”

50 Niho, Yeesu akamubhuurira omukari wuyo, “Obhwiikirirya bhwaazo bhukuhonirye. Ogye no omureembe.”
