1 Oluvanyuma, Yesu ni gahena ohusomesa abeegi babe ehumi nʼababiri, ngʼaŋwa mu hifo ehyo atiina ohusomesa nʼohubuulira abaatu Amaŋuliro Amalaŋi mu bibuga byʼe Galilaaya.* 11:1 Galilaaya Ebbayibbuli ejindi jiroma jiiti “bibuga byʼewaawe.”

2 Yowaane Omubatiza nʼali mu komera, bamuŋayira hu biitu ebi Kurisito gaali nʼali huhola. Ngʼatuma abeegi babe 3 ohubuusa Yesu baati, “Ndiiwe oyo oyu Hatonda gasuubisa ohuuja ohunoŋola abaatu oba eriyo owundi?” 4 Nga Yesu abagobolamo ati, “Mwagame mulomere Yowaane ebi mubona nʼebi muŋulira, 5 abaali abaŋofu ŋaahani babona; abaleme bagenda; abagenge balongooha, abasiŋa baŋulira, abafu balamuha nʼabagadi boosi basunire ekabi ohubalomera Amaŋuliro Amalaŋi.* 11:5 Yis 35:5-6; 61:1 6 Bali nʼekabi abo abatanemotamo.”

7 Abahwenda ba Yowaane abo ni baali ni bagamayo, nga Yesu atandiha ohubuusa ehiŋindi hyʼabaatu ebiŋamba hu Yowaane ati, “Ni mwatiina mu lulafu, mwatiina hubona hiina? Mwatiina hubona omuutu ali hyʼolugada olu embeŋo ehubba ni ŋira eyi ni neeyi? 8 Ni hitaba cʼehyo, mwatiina hubona hi? Omuutu owambaye engoye ejimeregenya? Si cʼehyo, olwohuba abambala engoye ejimeregenya baba mu lubiri ewa habaha. 9 Ne hiina ehyene ehi mwatiina ohubona mu lulafu? Peega ti mwatiina hubona naabbi. Era mu butuufu oweene, Yowaane oyo si naabbi hyonyene. 10 Aye oyo, njʼoyu ehyaŋandiihiwa hiromaho hiiti,

11 “Mbalomera ehituufu ti, mu baatu abahasaaliwa bosibosi, ŋabula ahira Yowaane Omubatiza eŋono cooka abaatu abali mu buŋugi bwomwigulu, asembayo ohuba owa ŋaasi, amuhira eŋono. 12 Ohuŋwa mu biseera bya Yowaane Omubatiza ohwola hatyane, abanamaani basoosa obuŋugi bwomwigulu bugali weene era oyo awingira awingirira hifuba. 13 Hiri hiityo olwohuba amagambi nʼebi banaabbi bosibosi baŋandiiha byaloma hu hiseera hyʼobuŋugi womwigulu, ohwola olu Yowaane gaaja. 14 Era ni muba ni mufugiirira obuhwenda obwo, Yowaane oyo njʼEriya oyu baalomaho baati aja huuja.” 15 Ngʼaŋo agohoba ati, “Ali nʼohutwi, aŋulire.

16 “Abaatu abʼomulembe guno nʼabagerageranie hu hi? Bali hyʼabaana abaŋere abehaaye mu nabiŋwera ko baaloma abahyawe baati,

18 “Ehyo kigeragerania hu Yowaane, sigalyanga biryo ebya bulijo oba hunywaho envinyo, olwʼehyo nga baloma baati, ‘Aliho emisambwa!’ 19 Aye Omwana wʼOmuutu gaaja ni geriira ebiryo era nʼanywa nʼevinyo hyʼomuutu yesiyesi nga baloma baati, ‘Oyo wa mulyerye, mumeesi era ahola omuhumba nʼabaŋoosa ko nʼabahosi bʼebibi.’ Aye abo bosibosi abaholera hu magesi ga Hatonda bahahasa baati matuufu ni hibonehera hu bikolwa byawe.”

20 Ngʼaŋo Yesu atandiha ohunenya abaatu abomu bibuga omu gaholera ebyamaliholiho ebihira obungi olwohuba sibebbwaga. 21 Ngʼaloma ati, “Jibageene enywe abaatu abomu hibuga Korazini nʼe Bbesusayida! Ebyamaliholiho ebi baahola ewenywe, biba ni byali mu Tiiro nomu Sidoni, hani abaatu baayo beboŋa ebigwaali era beeŋaha nʼegohe ohulaga baati bebbwagire. 22 Aye mbalomera ti, hu ludaalo olwʼohusala emisango, baliŋa abaatu abomu Tiiro ni Sidoni ehibonereso ehiriho obudemwademwa hu hyenywe.

23 “Ate enywe abaatu bʼe Kaperanawumu, muŋeega muuti mulitiina mwigulu? Bbe, mulitiina mu geyeena, olwohuba ebyamaliholiho ebi baahola mu nywe, baba ni babihola mu hibuga hyʼe Sodoma, hani hihiiriŋo.* 11:23 Tand 19:24-28 24 Aye mbalomera ti, hu ludaalo olwʼohusala emisango, baliŋa abaatu bomu Sodoma ehibonereso ehiriho obudemwademwa hu hyenywe.”

25 Mu hiseera ehyo, nga Yesu aloma ati, “Kujumirya Bbaabba, Musengwa owatonda egulu nʼehyalo, olwohuba wagisa aberanga abamagesi ohumanya amazima, ngʼohwehulira abaŋuma ehi bamanyire hyʼabaana abaŋere. 26 Hituufu Bbaabba, ehyo hyahusangaasa olwohuba njʼohwali ohusiima huhwo.”

27 Ngʼaŋo Yesu aloma abaatu ati, “Bbaabba gapambya ebiitu byosibyosi ohubiŋuga. Ŋaŋuma amanyire Omwana ohutusaho Semwana era ŋaŋuma amanyire Semwana ohutusaho Omwana ni naabo aba Omwana ahwehulira ehyama ehyʼohumutegeera.

28 “Muuje eyi ndi, enywe mwesimwesi abadembire era abaluŋiriiye nʼemigugu emisito, nja hubaŋa ehiŋuumulo. 29 Mungondere ngʼolu eŋombe esaame yigonda bayitaaho ehijoogi. Mwegire hu ese olwohuba ndi muwombeefu era wagonjewa mu mwoyo, mulisuna ehiŋuumulo. 30 Ehyo kiroma olwohuba engeri eyi nja hubatangirirangamo eja huba ndaŋi era ehi mbaŋa ohuhola hyangu.”
