1 Bhwo ghaakinda amashiku mahaano na limo (6), uYeesu akamwegha uPeeteli, uYaakobhu nu Yoohani umunungʼuna ughwa Yaakobhu. Akakwela nabho pa kaghamba akatali ngaani, pabhuyo ubhushiifu. 2 Po bhwo bhali pala, uYeesu akasanuka icheeni pandaashi papaabho. Icheeni chaake chikangʼangʼagha ungati lisubha ni myenda yaake yikabha myelu leka isa ubhwelu ubhwa lisubha. 3 Nakalinga bhakabhoneka uMoose nu Eliiya bhakuyugha naghwe. 4 Po uPeeteli akamubhuula uYeesu akati, “Ghwe Malafyale, kiisa ukuti utwe tubhe panu panu. Linga ghwitikisha, indiisenge panu ifitembe fitatu. Chimo chibhe chaako, ichinine chibhe cha Moose ni chinine chibhe cha Eliiya.”

5 Bhwo uPeeteli akaali ali pakuyugha, tesha, ibhingu liilyo likungʼangʼa likiisa nu kubhiifunikila. Po ishu likapulikighwa ukufuma mu ibhingu lila likati, “Uyu ghwe yuuyo Mwana ghwangu umughanighwa yuuyo inguhobhoka naghwe, mupulikaghe!” 6 Bhwo abhamanyili bhaake bhala bhaapulika isho, bhakooghopa leka, bhakaghwa paase nu kwishighila ifyeni fyabho. 7 UYeesu akapalamila papiipi, akabheeghelesha, akabhabhuula akati, “Iima, manye mwoghopaghe!” 8 Bhwo bhiinula amaaso ghaabho, bhakamubhona uYeesu aashaala mweneeshe. 9 Po bhwo bhakwilomuka pa kaghamba kala, uYeesu akabhalaghilila akati, “Manye mumubhuulaghe umundu naayumo shooshi shiisho mwashibhona ukufika paapo uMwana ughwa Mundu indiakashuuke.”

10 Abhamanyili bhala bhakamubhuusha bhakati, “Kali, nongwa yiki abhamanyishi abha ndaghilo isha Moose bhakuti uEliiya akulondighwa atangile taashi ukwisa bhwo uKilisiti akaali?” 11 UYeesu akabhaamula akati, “Nalooli, uEliiya akulondighwa ukwisa taashi ukuti iise atendekeshe imbombo shooshi. 12 Loole ingubhabhuula ukuti uEliiya iisile,* 17:12 Pabhuyo ubhu uYeesu akamuyughagha ghwi Yoohana uMwoshi (Mataayi 11:13-14). abhandu bhatakamumanyagha, bhakamubhombela akabhiibhi. Bhubhuubhwo, uMwana ughwa Mundu akuya pakubhombelighwa akabhiibhi na bhandu abho.” 13 Po abhamanyili bhala bhakamanya ukuti uYeesu akayughagha nongwa isha Yoohani uMwoshi.

14 Bhwo uYeesu na bhamanyili bhaake bhaafika paapo pakabha ni chilundilo icha bhandu, umundu yumo akabhuuka kwa Yeesu, akafughamila pandaashi papaake. 15 Akamubhuula uYeesu akati, “Ghwe Malafyale, ingusuuma umupelele ichisa umwana ghwangu paapo ali nu bhubhine ubhwa linyiki. Ubhubhine ubhwo, bhukumutamyanga leka. Akabhalilo akingi akughwanga mu mulilo na mu miishi. 16 Niisile naghwe ku bhamanyili bhaako ukuti bhayikiishe imbepo imbiibhi iyo, loole bhapooshitwe.”

17 UYeesu akabhaamula akati, “Mwe bhandu abha kabhalilo aka mwe mutakwitika, mwe musobhite. Kali, indiniikale nuumwe nu kukibha ukufika liighi? Isagha naghwe umwana uyo kukwangu!” 18 Bhwo bhiisa naghwe, uYeesu akayikemela imbepo imbiibhi yila, yoope yikafuma nu mwana yula akapola akabhalilo kala kala. 19 Po abhamanyili abha Yeesu bhakamwisila pabhuyo ubhushiifu, bhakamubhuusha bhakati, “Kali, kooni utwe twapooshitwe ukuyikiisha imbepo imbiibhi yila?” 20 Ghwepe akabhaamula akati, “Ku nongwa iya kuti ulwitiko lwinyu lunandi. Nalooli ingubhabhuula, linga muli nu lwitiko ulunandi isa akabheyu aka nambamba, indimukabhuule akaghamba aka ukuti, ‘Tiilaapo panu, ubhuuke pala,’ koope indikatiile. Po naakamu akandu kaako indimukapootwange. [ 21 Pamupeene ni isho, imbepo imbiibhi iya luko ulwo mutabhaghiile ukuyikiisha, loole kwene ku sila iya kwipuuta kwa Chaala nu kwiyiima ukulya ifindu.]”

22 Bhwo uYeesu ali pamupeene na bhamanyili bhaake mu Ghalilaayi, akabhabhuula akati, “UMwana ughwa Mundu akuya pakubhiikighwa mu tukono utwa bhalughu 23 nu kughoghighwa. Po pi ishiku ilya bhutatu, uChaala indiakamushuushe.” Bhwo abhamanyili bhaake bhaapulika isho, bhakaswimaana leka.

24 Bhwo uYeesu na bhamanyili bhaake bhaafika mu Kapenabhumu, abhandu bhamu bhaabho bhakasongeshanga isongo iya kubhombela mu Nyumba iya Chaala,† 17:24 Isongo iya kubhombela mu Nyumba iya Chaala UMuyuuta ghweshi umuliisha ughwa fyinja 20 pamu ukukinda, akalondighwanga ukusonga isongo iya kubhombela mu Nyumba iya Chaala chooshi ichinja. Indalama iyo yikaghelela nu mufwalo ughwa mashiku mabhili (Bhufumilo 30:13-16; 2 Tubhalilo 24:9-14; Nehemiiya 10:32). bhakiisa kwa Peeteli. Bhakamubhuusha bhakati, “Kali, umumanyishi ghwinyu ghwepe akusongagha isongo iya mu Nyumba iya Chaala?” 25 UPeeteli akabhaamula akati, “Mwo muumwo, akusongagha.” Po akiingila mu nyumba. Loole bhwo uPeeteli akaali ukuyugha limo, uYeesu akaanda ukumubhuusha akati, “Ghwe Siimoni, kali, ughwe kutesha bhuleele? Kali, abhomalafyale abha mu chiisu ichi bhakusongesha isongo ku bhandu bhaabho pamu ku bhandu abhanine?” 26 UPeeteli akaamula akati, “Bhakusongesha ku bhandu abhanine.” UYeesu akamubhuula akati, “Linga mwo muumwo, po bhabhahobhokiile abhandu bhaabho ukusonga isongo. 27 Loole ukuti manye tubhakalalishe abhandu abha, bhuuka uponie akashikulo mwa sumbi. Po iswi yiiyo ghwayikola kubhwandilo, uyaasamye umulomu, indiuyaaghe indalama mukati. Po uyeeghe indalama iyo ukuti uye usonge isongo yangu ni yaako.”
