1 Hambele Yesu kaloka kumwambu mwa tsimbu Galilaya au tsimbu Tiberiya. 2 Likingili lye iwanu limuwinza Yesu kwaapfila tsawona pfihulo pfayatendile pfa kuwahonetsa iwatamu. 3 Kuya Yesu ne iwanang'ina wake wagheluka mchidunda, wakala hasi. 4 Ichihungo che Ipasaka ya Wayahudi tsachikala chahabehi. 5 Yesu hayalolile mmbalimbali kona mtingano mkulu ghwe iwanu womtsila, kamghutsa Filipi, “Kwani twodaha kughula ichijo tuweng'e iwanu wano waje?” 6 Yesu kaghutsa pfino kumghetsa Filipi, kwaapfila tsakamanya katsotenda choni.

7 Filipi kamwidika, “Sendi miya mbili ng'atsidaha bae kumghulila chighate chila imunu!”

8 Imwanang'ina yungi wa Yesu, Andereya, ndughu yake Simoni Petiri, kamlongela Yesu, 9 “Hano hana imsongolo yumwe, yane ipfihindi pfitano pfe pfighate ne iwasomba weli. Lekeni watsoghutatse kwe ipfijo pfino chidogho?”

10 Yesu kawalongela iwanang'ina wake, “Muwalongele iwanu wakale hasi.” Hanu hala tsahana imitsani, iwanu wakala hasi, tsakukala ne iwamale elufu tano. 11 Kuya Yesu kasola ipfihande pfe pfighate, kalonga, “Mighede Imulungu,” kaweng'a iwanu iwakalile hasi. Katenda pfipfo kwa iwasomba ka iwanu pfawabamile. 12 Iwanu wose hawaghutile, Yesu kawalongela iwanang'ina wake, “Mdondole ipfihande ipfikalile. Chochose chileke ukwagha.”

13 Apfo iwanang'ina wadondola, wamemesa ipfiseghe kumi na pfili pfe ipfihande pfe pfighate ipfikalile.

14 Iwanu hawonile pfihulo ipfitendighwe na Yesu, wandusa kulonga, “Kweli ayuno ka nabii iyakutsa muisi.” 15 Yesu tsakamanya iwanu wambama ghendo wamtende yawe imndewa, apfo kagheluka keli mchidunda yaliyeka.

16 Litsua haliswele, iwanang'ina wake Yesu wahulumka mbaka mne tsimbu, 17 wadina mnumbwi waloka tsimbu waghenda Kaperinaumu. Tsakukala ne ichisi, na Yesu tsakakala ng'ana yawapfikile bae. 18 Libeho kulu ling'ali lyoduma na ghamatsi ghatibuka. 19 Iwanang'ina hawaghendile utali we maili ndatu au maili nne, tsawamwona Yesu koghenda mchanya mwe ghamatsi, kakutsa habehi na mnumbwi, iwanang'ina wapfuka. 20 Lekeni Yesu kawalongela, “Na nene, mleke kupfuka!” 21 Kuya wabama wamsole Yesu mne mnumbwi, bahala mnumbwi tsaghupfika hanu hawabamile kupfika.

22 Litsuwa lya keli kingili lye iwanu ilikalile kumwambu mwe tsimbu wamanya kukala na mnumbwi umwe uliyeka, Yesu ng'engile bae mne mnumbwi ne iwanang'ina wake, ila iwanang'ina tsawoka waliyeka. 23 Kuya iminumbwi mingi ilawile Tiberiya tsaipfika habehi ne hanu iwanu hawajile pfighate Imtwatsa hayamalitse kupfibaliki. 24 Iwanu hawamanyile Yesu ne iwanang'ina wake ng'awalibaho bae hanu hala, wengila mne iminumbwi waghenda Kaperinaumu kumbama.

25 Iwanu hawamwonile Yesu ubali ungi we tsimbu, wamghutsa, “Mlangulitsi, apfi hano upfikile tsuwachi?”

26 Yesu kawedika, “Nowalongelani ghendo, mwonibama kwaapfila mja pfighate mghuta, si kwaapfila mwona pfihulo pfangu. 27 Mleke kuchisulukila ichijo ichikola, mchisulukile ichijo ichikala ghamatsuwa ghose. Ichijo chino chicho Imwana we Imunu yatsomwing'ani, kwaapfila Imulungu, Aba kamsaghula na kamtoghola.”

28 Kuya wamghutsa Yesu, “Apfi tutende choni ili tughatende aghala ghobama Imulungu tughatende?”

29 Yesu kawedika, “Achino ichinu chayobama Imulungu mtende, mumtoghole ayula iyamtumile.”

30 Apfo wamghutsa, “Angu pfihulo pfachi pfausang'ana ili tupfone tukutoghole? Kutsotenda choni? 31 Iwabala wetu waja mana kunyika, ka pfayandikighwe mne Ghamaandiko Mahenzeluka, ‘Kaweng'a chighate ichihulumke kulanga waje.’ ”

32 Yesu kawalongela, “Nowalongela ghendo, si Musa bae iyaweng'ile chighate ichihulumke kulanga, ila Aba wangu iyo iyaweng'ile chighate che ukweli kulawa kulanga. 33 Kwaapfila chighate chayotwing'a Imulungu iyo ayula iyakutsa kulawa kulanga na iyolapfa ughima kwe iwanu iwali muisi.”

34 Wamlongela, “Imtwatsa, utwing'e chighate chino ghamatsuwa ghose.”

35 Kuya Yesu kawalongela, “Nene na ichijo ichighala ughima, awala iwakutsa kuna nene ng'awatsokwona nzala bae, na awala iwonitoghola ng'awatsakwona ng'ilu bae. 36 Ka pfaniwalongele, mmbona lekeni mng'ali ng'amnitoghola bae. 37 Wose iyongaya Aba watsakutsa kuna nene, imunu wowose iyonitsila, simuwinga bae. 38 Kwaapfila nihulumka kulawa kulanga si kutenda pfanibama bae, ila kutenda pfayobama ayula iyanitumile. 39 Ayula iyanitumile kobama apfi, ndeke kumwaghitsa imunu wowose mna iwanu wala iyangaile, ila niwatsilihule wose mna litsuwa lya usighilo. 40 Kwaapfila Aba wangu kobama chila imunu iyomlola Imwana na kumtoghola yawe na ughima wa ghamatsuwa ghose. Nitsomtsilihula litsuwa lya usighilo.”

41 Wayahudi wandusa kumnung'unikila Yesu kwaapfila tsakalonga, “Nene na chighate ichihulumke kulawa kulanga.” 42 Walonga, “Apfi ayu si Yesu bae imwana wa Yosefu, aba wake ne mai wake twowamanya. Lelo kodahatse kulonga, ‘Nihulumka kulawa kulanga?’ ”

43 Yesu kawalongela, “Mleke kunung'unika. 44 Kuduhu imunu iyodaha kunitsila ka Aba iyanitumile ng'amkweghile bae, na nene nitsomtsilihula litsuwa lya usighilo. 45 Wanabii tsawandika, ‘Iwanu wose watsolangulitsighwa ne Imulungu.’ Chila imunu iyomtegheletsa Aba na kwilangulitsa kuna yeye katsokutsa kuna nene. 46 Chanilonga chicho chino, kuduhu imunu iyamwonile Aba ila yula iyalawile kwe Imulungu, ayo yuyo yaliyeka iyamwonile Aba. 47 Nowalongela ghendo, imunu wowose iyotoghola kana ughima wa ghamatsuwa ghose. 48 Nene na chijo ichighala ughima. 49 Iwabala wenu tsawaja mana kunyika lekeni wafa. 50 Lekeni achino ichighate ichihulumka kulawa kulanga, imunu iyochija ng'atsokufa bae. 51 Nene na ichijo che ughima ichihulumke kulawa kulanga. Imunu ang'aja chijo chino, katsokala ghamatsuwa ghose. Chijo chino lukuli lwangu, nolulapfa ili iwanu we isi yose wawe ne ughima.”

52 Kuya Wayahudi wandusa kwighutsa kwa maya, “Apfi imunu yuno kodahatse kutwing'a lukuli lwake tuluje?”

53 Yesu kawalongela, “Nowalongela ghendo, ka ng'amkuja lukuli lwe Imwana we Imunu na kunwa idamu yake, ng'amtsokuwa ne ughima mghati mwenu. 54 Imunu wowose iyoluja lukuli lwangu na kunwa idamu yangu kana ughima wa ghamatsuwa ghose, nitsomtsilihula mne litsuwa lya usighilo. 55 Kwaapfila lukuli lwangu ichijo cha kweli na idamu yangu chokunwa cha kweli. 56 Imunu wowose iyoluja lukuli lwangu na kunwa idamu yangu, ayo kokala mghati mwangu, na nene nokala mghati mwake. 57 Aba iyali mghima kanituma, na kwaajili ya Aba nene nokala, apfo imunu iyoluja lukuli lwangu katsokala kwaajili ya nene. 58 Achino chicho ichijo ichihulumke kulawa kulanga, si ka mana iwajile iwabala wenu, na ukufa. Lekeni imunu iyakuja chijo chino katsokuwa mghima ghamatsuwa ghose.” 59 Yesu kaghalonga agho hayang'ali yolangulitsa mne ing'anda ye ukulombela ako Kaperinaumu.

60 Iwanu wengi iwamuwinzile Yesu hawahulike apfo, walonga, “Ghamalangulitso ghano makomu. Apfi yuhi iyodaha kughatoghola?”

61 Kuduhu imunu iyamlongele Yesu ichinu chawang'ali wonung'unika iwanang'ina wake, lekeni yeye tsakamanya, apfo kawaghutsa, “Ule ghamalangulitso ghano ghoghetsa ukutoghola kwenu? 62 Itsakuwatse ka mtsomwona Imwana we Imunu kakuya kulanga hanu hayakalile mwanduso? 63 Ghumuhe we Imulungu kolapfa ughima, ngupfu tsa imunu ng'atsidaha chinu. Mbuli tsaniwalongele tsowaghalila muhe na ughima. 64 Hata apfo, wangi wenu mng'ali ng'amtoghola.” Kwaapfila Yesu tsakamanya kulawa mwanduso tsina nani ing'awotoghola na tsakamanya nani iyatsomhunduka. 65 Kuya Yesu kalonga keli, “Kwaajili ayo tsaniwalongela kuduhu imunu iyodaha kunitsila mbaka Aba yamtoghole.”

66 Kulawa litsuwa lino iwanang'ina wake wengi woya kuchughu, ng'awamuwinzile keli. 67 Yesu kawaghutsa iwanang'ina wake kumi na weli, “Pfii, namwe pfipfila mwobama kuka?”

68 Simoni Petiri kamwidika, “Imtwatsa, tughende kwa nani? Ghweghwe kuna mbuli itsighala ughima wa ghamatsuwa ghose. 69 Twotoghola na twomanya ghweghwe kwa Mwenzeluka we Imulungu.”

70 Kuya Yesu kawedika, “Apfi siwasaghuleni mwemwe kumi na weli bae? Lekeni yumwe wenu ka Setani.” 71 Yesu tsayang'ali yolonga mbuli tsa Yuda, imwana wa Simoni Isikarioti, yumwe we iwanang'ina wala kumi na weli, iyomhunduka Yesu hambele.
