1 Kale awo omu kiseera ekyo, oKerode omufugi wʼeitwale lyʼe Galiraaya nʼawulira okufuma kwa Yesu. 2 Nʼakoba abaweereryabe ati, “Omuntu oyo ateekwa okubba Yokaana oMubatizi niiye azuukiire, era nga niikyo ekigira ali nʼobwezye okukola ebyewunyo.”

3 Ekyo kyabbairewo olwakubba oKerode yabbaire akwaite oYokaana nʼamusiba, nʼamwigalira omu mabbuusu, ngʼagenderera kusangaalya Kerodiya, omukali wa mugandawe oFiripo oguyabbaire abandwire. 14:3 Luk 3:19-20 4 Ekyo kyabbairewo olwakubba oYokaana yabbaire adeebere oKerode ati, “Amateeka tigaikirirya iwe okutwala oKerodiya okubba mukaliwo.” 14:4 Lee 18:16; 20:21 5 Era newankubbaire oKerode yabbaire ataka okwita oYokaana, neye yabbaire atya aBayudaaya olwakubba ibo babbaire baikirirya bati oYokaana naabbi.

6 Neye oku lunaku lwa kwewukiriryaku olubabyaliire oKerode, omwala wa Kerodiya nʼabina nʼasangaalya ino oKerode. 7 Nʼolwekyo, omu kirayiro oKerode nʼasuubiza okuwa omwala oyo kyonakyona ekiyamusaba. 8 Iye omwala nʼakolera ku malabuki omaaye ageyamuwaire, kale nʼakoba oKerode ati, “Ompe aanu mutwe gwa Yokaana oMubatizi nga baguteekere okwitiba.”

9 Ekyo ni kiruma ino okabaka, neye olwakubba yabbaire alayiire, aate nga nʼabagenibe bawuliire, nʼalagira ni bamukolera ekiyasabire. 10 Era okabaka nʼalagira ni baaba omu mabbuusu batemaku oYokaana omutwe. 11 Era ni baguleetera okwitiba, ni baguwa omwala, era yena nʼagutwalira omaaye. 12 Kale awo abeegi ba Yokaana ni baaba, ni batwala omulambogwe, ni baguliika kaisi ni baaba bakobera oYesu ebibbairewo.

13 Awo oYesu oweyawuliire ati batemereku oYokaana omutwe, nʼazwa omu kifo ekyo nʼabeegibe, ni baniina omu lyato, ni baaba bonkani omu kifo ekinambulamu bantu. Neye ekiyindi kyʼabantu bʼomu bibuga ebyeruguuliriirye aawo owekyategeireku, ni kisenjaayo nʼebigere nga kibita oku mbale mbale kwʼenyanza. 14 OYesu oweyatuukire oku lukalu, nʼabona ekiziima kyʼabantu kinene nga kiri awo, nʼakikwatira ekisa, nʼalamya ababbairemu abalwaire.

15 Obwire owebwabbaire nga bwirugala, abeegi ni baaba egiri oYesu, ni bamukoba bati, “Ekifo kinu mpaamu bantu, aate nga nʼobwire buunu bwabire. Abantu obaseebule baabe beegulire ekyokulya omu byalo ebiriraine aanu.”

16 OYesu nʼabairamu ati, “Tikibeetaagisya ibo okwaba, wazira niinywe omubbe mubawe ekyokulya balye.” 17 Ibo ni bamwiramu bati, “Tulikuuwo aanu nʼemigaati mitaanu gyonkani, nʼenyanyi ibiri.”

18 OYesu nʼakoba ati, “Mubindeetere aanu.” 19 Era nʼalagira abantu okutyama ansi okwisubi, awo nʼatoola emigaati emitaanu, nʼenyanyi eibiri, kaisi nʼalingirira omwigulu, ni yeebalya oKibbumba. Awo nʼavunavunamu emigaati, nʼagiwa abeegibe ni bagigabira abantu. 20 Era abantu bonabona baliire ni baikuta, era abeegibe ni bakumbaania ebitundutundu ebyafiikireku, ni baizulya ebiibo ikumi na bibiri. 21 Obungi bwʼabantu abaliire, babbaire abasaiza ooti 5,000, nga tibabaliireku abakali nʼabaana.

22 Awo ngʼebyo byankawa, oYesu nʼakoba abeegibe okuniina omu lyato beesooke baabenge oku lubba ludi olwʼenyanza, nga iye akaali aseebula abantu. 23 Oweyamalire okuseebula abantu, nʼaniina oku lusozi yenkani okusaba oKibbumba. Endikiirya oweyakwatiire yabbaire akaali ali eeyo. 24 Neye omu kiseera ekyo eryato abeegi eribabbairemu lyabbaire yala nʼoku lukalu, era amayengo gabbaire mangi nga gakubba eryato olwʼogumpunga ogwabbaire gufuwa nga gubazwera omu maiso.

25 Obwire owebwabbaire bwatira okuca, oYesu nʼayaba egibabbaire ngʼatambula oku maizi. 26 Neye ibo owebamuboine ngʼatambula oku maizi, ni batya ino, ni bakoba bati, “Kyewo!” Ni bakubba enduulu olwʼokutya.

27 Neye amangu ago oYesu nʼabakoba ati, “Ninze! Timwatya, mwiremu omwoyo.”

28 Awo oPeetero nʼamukoba ati, “Musengwa, ondagire ntambulire oku maizi nga njiza egyoli, owoobbanga dala niiwe.”

29 OYesu nʼamukoba ati, “Oize.” Awo oPeetero nʼazwa omu lyato, nʼatambula oku maizi ngʼayaba egiri oYesu. 30 Neye oPeetero oweyaboine amayengo olwʼogumpunga ogwʼamaani nʼatya. Awo nʼatandiika okweinika, kaisi nʼaceera ati, “Musengwa, ondamye!”

31 Amangu ago oYesu nʼagolola engalo, nʼamukwata, nʼamukoba ati, “Lwaki obuusabuusire? Ngʼooli nʼokwikirirya kutono!” 32 Kale awo owebaniinire omu lyato, ompunga nʼawaaku. 33 Kaisi awo abeegi badi ababbaire omu lyato ni basinza oYesu nga bamukoba bati, “Dala, oli Mwana wa Kibbumba.”

34 Awo owebasaliremu enyanza ni basomoka kudi, batuukiire mu kitundu kyʼe Genesareeti. 35 Era abantu bʼomu kitundu ekyo owebamanyicirye oYesu, ni batumisya obukwenda omu bitundu ebyeruguuliriirye aawo byonabyona. Era abantu ni bamuleetera abalwaire baabwe bonabona, 36 era ni bamwegairira aikirirye abalwaire nago bakwateku-bukwati oku mugo gwʼekizwalokye. Era bonabona abakikwaiteku, ni balama.
