1 Bhwo uYeesu aamala ukubhabhuula abhamanyili bhaake kalongo na bhabhili (12), akatiilaapo pala. Akabhuuka mu twaya utwa Ghalilaayi pakulumbilila nu kubhamanyisha abhandu ishu ilya Chaala.

2 Bhwo uYoohani apinyiighwe mu nyumba iya bhapinyighwa, akapulika shiisho uKilisiti akashibhombagha. Po akabhatuma abhamanyili bhaake 3 ukuti bhamubhuushe uYeesu ukuti, “Kali, ughwe ghwe yula yuuyo bhakasolola ukuti indiakiise pamu tumulindililaghe umunine?” 4 UYeesu akabhaamula akati, “Bhuuka mumubhuule uYoohani shooshi shiisho mwapulika na shiisho mwashibhona. 5 Paapo bhaabho bhaali bhafwamaaso bhakutesha, bhaabho bhaali bhochikwefu bhakughenda, bhaabho bhaali ni mbungo iya makete bhapolite, bhaabho bhaali ni fipuli, bhakupulika, abhafwe bhakushuuka. Soona, abhapiina bhakupokeela iNongwa iNyiisa.✡ 11:5 Yesaaya 26:19; 29:18-19; 35:5-6; 61:1 6 UChaala akumusaya umundu ghweshi yuuyo atakwilaamwa kukwangu.”

7 Bhwo abhamanyili abha Yoohani bhaatiila, uYeesu akaanda ukufilingaania ifilundilo ifya bhandu fila isha Yoohani uMwoshi akati, “Kali, mukabhuukagha pakutesha kooni ku lungalangala? Kali, mukabhuukagha pakumutesha umundu yuuyo akwitika shooshi isa ulutete luulwo ichikungu chikaluyungaanianga kwoshi kwoshi? Nashiku! 8 Po kali, mukabhuukagha pakutesha kooni? Kali, mukabhuukagha pakumutesha umundu yuuyo afwalite imyenda iya mutengo umukulu? Pulikisha, abhandu bhaabho bhakufwala imyenda iya mutengo bhakwikala mu nyumba ingulu isha bhomalafyale. 9 Po kali, mukabhuukagha pakutesha kooni? Kali, mukabhuukagha pakumutesha umusololi? Mwo muumwo, loole ingubhabhuula ukuti uYoohani akindite pa musololi. 10 Uyu ghwe yuuyo inongwa shaake shisimbiighwe mu Masimbo aMeelu ukuti, ‘Tesha, ingumutuma ughwandumi ghwangu mundaashi yaako yuuyo indiakatendekeshe isila yaako.’✡ 11:10 Malaaki 3:1 11 Nalooli ingubhabhuula, mu bhandu bhooshi bhaabho bhapaapiighwe na bhakolo, atabhonekite naayumo ukubha ghwa pamwanya ukumukinda uYoohani uMwoshi. Loole umundu yuuyo mufuyuke ku chitangalala icha kumwanya, ghwe yuuyo ghwa pamwanya ukumukinda umwene. 12 Ukwandila amashiku ghaagho uYoohani uMwoshi akalumbililagha ukufika umuusughu, ichitangalala icha kumwanya chili pa bhwite. Abhandu abha maka, bhakughela ukuchilwila ku maka ukuti bhachaaghe. 13 Paapo bhwo uYoohani akaali ukwisa, abhasololi na shiisho shikasimbighwa mu ndaghilo isha Moose shikasololagha shiisho indishikabhoneke akabhalilo aka. 14 Po linga mukwitika ubhusololi bhwabho, uYoohani ghwe yuuyo ghwi Eliiya* 11:14 UEliiya akabha ghwe yumo mu bhasololi abha bhwila. Abhandu bhamu bhakatingi uYeesu ghwi Eliiya yuuyo iisile soona, paapo uEliiya uyo akabhuuka kumwanya chishita kufwa. Soona bhakasubhaalilagha ukuti indiakiise soona (Malaaki 4:5-6). yula yuuyo akayughighwanga ukuti indiakiise. 15 Umundu ghweshi yuuyo ali ni fyufwo, apulikaghe. 16 Kali, abhandu abha mbaapo iyi imbagheleshe na kooni? Bhagheliile na bhaana bhaabho bhakwikala pa munaalo nu kubhiitisha abhanine bhakuti,

20 Po uYeesu akaanda ukubhakemela abhandu abha mu twaya tuutwo akabhombaamwo ifyika ifyingi ku nongwa iya kuti abhandu abho bhatakapinduka ukufuma ku mbiibhi shaabho akati, 21 “Lwinyu mwe bhandu abha kaaya aka Kolasiini! Lwinyu mwe bhandu abha kaaya aka Bheetisayita!† 11:21 Akaaya aka Kolasiini na ka Bheetisayita tukabha twaya utwa Bhayuuta. Abhandu abha mu twaya utu bhakiibhonagha ukubha bheelu ukukinda abhandu abha mu twaya utwa Tiilo nu twa Sindoni bhaabho bhatakabha Bhayuuta. Paapo ifyika fiifyo ingafibhombagha kukwinyu, linga ingafibhombagha mu kaaya aka Tiilo na mu ka Sindoni, abhandu abha twaya utwo ngali bhakafwala amaghunila nu kupakala ilyoto ukulangisha ukupinduka ukufuma ku mbiibhi shaabho. 22 Loole ingubhabhuula ukuti pi ishiku ilya bhulongi umwe indimukapokeele ulufundo ulukulu ukukinda akaaya aka Tiilo na ka Sindoni. 23 Nuumwe mwe bhandu abha kaaya aka Kapenabhumu, kali, mukwinongʼona ukuti uChaala indiakabhakweshe ukufika kumwanya? Nashiku! UChaala indiakabhiilomushe ukufika ku bhushuuka. Paapo linga ifyika fiifyo fikabhombighwanga kukwinyu, fikabhombighwanga na mu kaaya aka Sondoma, po akaaya ako ngali kaliikwo ukufika umuusughu. 24 Loole ingubhabhuula ukuti pi ishiku ilya bhulongi umwe indimukapokeele ulufundo ulukulu ukukinda akaaya aka Sondoma.”

25 Ku kabhalilo kala uYeesu akati, “Ghwe Taata, ghwe Malafyale ghwa kumwanya na pa chiisu panu, ingukupaalisha paapo imbombo ishi ukabhafifa abhandu abha mahala na bhamanyi, loole ukashibhiika pabhwelu ku bhandu bhaabho bhakwiyiisha ungati bhaana abhakeke. 26 Nalooli, ghwe Taata, umwo mwo muumwo ukiighanila.

27 “UTaata aambiile fyoshi. Naayumo umundu yuuyo amumeenye uMwana, loole uTaata mwene. Soona naayumo umundu yuuyo amumeenye uTaata, loole uMwana mwene nu mundu ghweshi yuuyo uMwana akwighana ukumulangisha uTaata kukwake.

28 “Isagha kukwangu mweshi mwe mukutaamighwa nu kupimba imishigho imingʼwamu, nuune indiingabhape ubhutuusho. 29 Ipinyagha iniila yangu,‡ 11:29 Ipinyagha iniila yangu Kwo kuti, ukumughindika uYeesu nu kumukonga. Iniila Kwo kuti, chikokwe ichingʼwamu, ichigholoke chiicho abhandu bhakubhafwashanga abhokambaku mu shingo linga bhakulima pamu linga bhakughuusa imishigho (Mbombo isha Bhatumighwa 15:10; Bhaghalatiiya 5:1). mumanyilaghe kukwangu ukufika paapo indiingabhaafwe ukubha nu lutengaano mu ndumbula shiinyu. Paapo une indi mwoloolo soona indi ghwa kwiyiisha. 30 Iniila yangu mbepe ukupimba nu mushigho ghwangu ghwope mupepe.”
