1 Ni ŋabitaŋo endaalo mukaaga, nga Yesu aŋira Peetero ni Yakobbo ni Yowaane muganda ya Yakobbo batiina baniina hu olusozi olwegingihiriri baba eyo boŋene. 2 Ni baali eyo, abeegi babe abo baali baheja nga mu moni wuwe mucuuha mumeregenya hyʼeryuba era ebyambalo bibye nga bipepya bimesya hyʼenjase. 3 Aŋo ni naaŋo nga babona Eriya ni Musa ni baŋaya ni Yesu. 4 Nga Peetero aloma Yesu ati, “Musengwa, hiraŋi ti huli ŋano. Ni huba husiima huhwo, natongole ebitiira bidatu. Hirala hibe hihyo, ehindi hya Musa nʼehindi hyʼEriya.”

5 Peetero ni gaali nʼahiiroma, ehireri ehipepya nga hiija hibawiihaho. Ngʼejanjaasi liŋwera mu hireri ehyo, ni ŋaliŋo aloma ati, “Ono njʼOmwana wange omuhoda oyu nenda era owunesiimisa. Ale muŋulirise ebi abaloma.”

6 Abeegi abo ni baŋulira ebibono ebyo batya bugali, nga bagwa ŋaasi mahotamiriiye ni batenda nʼohumuhejaho.* 17:6 Tand 22:2; Mag 18:15; Zab 2:7; Yis 42:1 7 Aye Yesu gatiina gabaŋambaho, ngʼabaloma ati, “Mwinyohe mutatya!” 8 Abeegi babe ni bagangamuha, sibabona muutu owundi yesiyesi ohutusaho Yesu yeŋene.

9 Ni baali ni baŋwa hu lusozi, nga Yesu abahamiirisa ati, “Mutalomeraho muutu yesiyesi ebyo ebi muweene ohwola olu Omwana wʼOmuutu aliramuha.”

10 Ngʼaŋo abeegi abo bamubuusa baati, “Lwahiina abasomesa bʼamagambi ga Hatonda baloma baati naabbi Eriya ali nʼohweheerera ohugobola ko Kurisito gaaje?”

11 Nga Yesu abagobolamo ati, “Hituufu, Eriya ali nʼohweheerera ohuuja agobose bunyaaha emyoyo jʼabaatu. 12 Aye mbalomera ti Eriya gahena hale ohuuja, aye sibamufaania era abaatu bamuhola byosibyosi ebi bendire. Mu ngeri njʼenyene baja hugudya nʼOmwana wʼOmuutu baatyo.” 13 Ngʼaŋo abeegi bategeera baati gaali abalomera hu Yowaane Omubatiza.* 17:13 Mat 11:14

14 Yesu nʼabeegi babe bala abadatu ni baŋwa hu lusozi, nga bagaana ehiŋindi hyʼabaatu. Nga ŋabaaŋo omusinde owatiina eyiri Yesu, ahubba amafuha mu moni wuwe amuloma ati, 15 “Muhulu, kwegayiriiye ŋambira musaani yange ehisa, agwa efubu era abonaabona bugali. Efunda nyingi agwa mu muliro oba mu maaji. 16 Namuleetaho eyiri abeegi babo aye sibamuŋonia.” 17 Nga Yesu abaloma ati, “Enywe abaatu abaŋuma hufugiirira era abʼomulembe guno ogwabbaama, ndihena ni nenywe ahamanga ahaaga hatye ko mube nʼohufugiirira, ndyosa ŋeena ohubehaliiriha? Mundeetere ŋano omuseere oyo.” 18 Yesu ngʼahayuhira omusambwa guŋwa hu museere, ngʼaŋo ni naaŋo aŋona.

19 Oluvanyuma abeegi ba Yesu batiina aŋa gaali nʼali yeŋene nga bamubuusa baati, “Lwahiina sihwasobola hubbinga musambwa ogwo hu museere?”

20 Nga Yesu abagobolamo ati, “Ehyo hibaaye hiityo olwohuba muli nʼohufugiirira hutotono. Mbalomera ehituufu ti, singa muba nʼohufugiirira nʼolu huba hudiidiri hyʼahamo ha kalidaali, mwahalomire olusozi luno muuti, ‘Siguha ŋano oje wedaanye ŋala’ era nga ehi oloma hibaŋo. Ŋaŋuma ehiribahaya. 21 Aye omusambwa hyʼogwo siguŋanga hutiina ni ŋaŋuma husaba nʼohusiiba.”* 17:21 Ebyaŋandihiwa ebindi ebyahale biŋuma lunyiriri luno.

22 Abeegi bosibosi ni Yesu ni baali ni bahumbeene ŋalala e Galilaaya, nga Yesu abaloma ati, “Baja hulya mu Mwana wʼOmuutu oluhwe bahene bamuŋeyo eyiri abobuŋangi bamwite. 23 Baja humwita aye ŋalibitaŋo endaalo edatu ngʼalamuha.” Ehyo hyaleetera abeegi babe ohweŋunamira.

24 Yesu nʼabeegi babe ni boola e Kaperanawumu, ngʼabaŋoosa bomu yʼe Yekaalu batiina eyiri Peetero bamubuusa baati, “Koni omusomesa wenywe niye saaŋa musolo gwomu Yekaalu?” 25 Nga Peetero abagobolamo ati, “Aŋa.”

Peetero ni gengira mu nyumba, Yesu njʼoweherera ohuloma ngʼamubuusa ati, “Ne ewe Simooni oŋeega otye? Abahabaha baŋoosa baatu hi? Abaatu bomu gwanga lyawe oba abalugendwa?”* 17:25 Huŋ 30:13; 38:26

26 Nga Peetero amugobolamo ati, “Hu balugendwa.”

Ngʼaŋo Yesu amuloma ati, “Abazaliranwa bomu gwanga sibali nʼohuŋa omusolo. 27 Aye ohutenda hubaluŋia tiina hu nyanja odanye omulobo mu maaji, enyeeni eyi oneheerere ohuŋambya, onayasamye wagaanamo ebbeesa. Jiŋambe otiine osasule omusolo ogugwo nʼogwange.”
