1 Bikaba bi̱ti̱ghaaye bilo mukaagha Ki̱ghenu̱ kya Kuusuka Kusaaluwʼo ku̱hi̱ka, Yesu aaki̱dha e Bbetaniya hambali Lajaalo oghu aahu̱mbu̱u̱ye mu baku̱u̱ye aabaagha aakaaye. 2 Baatekani̱li̱ja Yesu kiihulo mu ka ya Lajaalo oghu, Malita aatandika kubaheeleli̱ya haa kiihulo eki. Lajaalo naye akaba ali mu bantu abaaliilagha haa meeja emui na Yesu. 3 Niibuwo Mali̱ya aasi̱ye akwete cu̱pa esemeeye, elimu bigita bisasi̱ye kandi bi̱tembi̱ye kwonini, aabiseesela Yesu mu bighele kandi aatandika kumulaghali̱ya bighele ebi naakoleesi̱ya esoke liye. Ti̱ kusasa kwa bigita ebi kwamalakaka numba eghi yoona.

4 Bhaatu omui mu beeghesebuwa baa Yesu, Yu̱da Esikalyota, oghu aaghendagha ku̱mu̱ghobeli̱ya, aaghila ati, 5 “Ekyaleki̱ye bigita ebi bataabi̱ghu̱li̱ya kandi sente esi̱ku̱lu̱ghamu basiha banaku nkiki? Byangu̱lu̱ghi̱yemu sente syengaane na musaala ghwa muntu ghwa mwaka ghwona.”* 12:5 Mu Lu̱gi̱li̱ki̱ baghambi̱ye dinaali bi̱ku̱mi̱ bisatu. Sente esi sikaba syengaane na musaala ghwa muntu ghwa mwaka ghumui. 6 Taabu̱ghi̱ye eki nanga ngu afu̱u̱yʼo banaku, bhaatu nanga akaba ali musuma. Niiye akaba ali mu̱bi̱i̱ki̱ wa nsau yabo ya sente kandi bunji na bunji aabhaghamu sente.

7 Yesu aaghila ati, “Mumuleke! Aakoli̱ye eki kuteekani̱ja kujiikuwa kwanje. 8 Banaku mukuukala nabo bwile bwona, bhaatu si̱ye tankuukala naanu bwile bwona bbaa.”

9 Ki̱bbu̱la kyamaani̱ kya Bayu̱daaya baaghu̱wa bantu mbabu̱gha ngoku Yesu ali e Bbetaniya. Du̱mbi̱ baaghendayo, kutali kulola Yesu enkaha bhaatu kulola na Lajaalo oghu aahu̱mbu̱u̱ye mu baku̱u̱ye. 10 Nahabweki bakulu baa bahongi̱ baatʼo ntegheka ya kwita Lajaalo oghu dhee, 11 nanga haabwa Lajaalo oghu, Bayu̱daaya bakani̱ye baabalu̱ghʼo kandi baahi̱ki̱li̱ja Yesu.

12 Kilo ekyalabhi̱i̱yʼo ki̱bbu̱la kya bantu abaali baasi̱ye haabwa Ki̱ghenu̱ kya Kuusuka Kusaaluwʼo, baaghu̱wa ngu Yesu niibuwo aasa e Yelusaalemu. 13 Nahabweki baajomba bi̱kongu̱bho kandi baaghenda kumusangaana, mbanagola bati,

16 Haaku̱du̱bha beeghesebuwa baa Yesu tabeetegheleei̱ye bintu ebi. Bhaatu haanu̱ma ya Yesu kukuuka mu eghulu, niibuwo baasu̱ki̱ye ngoku bintu ebi byahandi̱i̱ku̱u̱wʼo Yesu, kandi ngoku ebyalehukanagha ebi byasu̱li̱i̱si̱ya bintu ebi.

17 Ti̱ ki̱bbu̱la kya bantu abaabaagha na Yesu obu aabilikiiye Lajaalo mu kituulo kandi aamu̱hu̱mbu̱u̱la mu baku̱u̱ye, beeyongela kulalangi̱ya makulu agha. 18 Kighendeleluwa ekyaleki̱ye ki̱bbu̱la kya bantu eki baaghenda hambali Yesu ali, ni nanga bakaaghu̱wa kyakuswekani̱ya eki aakoli̱ye. 19 Nahabweki Bafali̱saayo baatandika kughambilana bati, “Ni majima ngu tatuli na eki tukwete kukola kulengʼo kutanga musaasa oghu! Olole ngoku bantu boona bakwete kumukwamilila!”

20 Mu bantu abaaghendi̱ye Yelusaalemu kulami̱ya Luhanga mu bwile bwa Ki̱ghenu̱ kya Kuusuka Kusaaluwʼo hakaba halimu bamui mu Bagi̱li̱ki̱.‡ 12:20 Bagi̱li̱ki̱ bani bakaba bali bantu batali Bayu̱daaya abaahi̱ki̱jagha mu di̱i̱ni̱ ya Ki̱yu̱daaya. 21 Niibuwo baasi̱ye hambali Fi̱li̱po ali oghu akaba alu̱ghi̱ye e Bbetesai̱da mu di̱si̱tu̱li̱ki̱ti̱ ya Galilaaya. Baamughila bati, “Wai̱tu̱, tukubbala kusanga-sangaana na Yesu.” 22 Fi̱li̱po aaghenda aaghambila Andeleya, du̱mbi̱ bombi Andeleya na Fi̱li̱po baaghenda baaghambila Yesu.

23 Yesu aaghila ati, “Bwile bwahi̱ki̱ye bwa Luhanga kuha Mwana wa Muntu ki̱ti̱i̱ni̱sa. 24 Mbaghambiiye majima ghoonini, bataaheli̱ye kasigho kaa ndimo mu etaka, kaku̱wa kakuukalagha kali kasigho kamui konkaha. Bhaatu bakaakukahelagha nkaaku̱wa, niibuwo kaku̱lu̱ghaghamu busigho bukani̱ye. 25 Muntu weena oghu akukunda bwomi̱i̱li̱ buwe akubufeeluwa, bhaatu oghu akubwoha munsi muni, akuba na bwomi̱i̱li̱ butahuwʼo. 26 Kandi weena oghu aku̱heeleli̱ya si̱ye, akulaghiluwa kunkwamilila, ti̱ hambali nkuba ndi, niiyo naye akuukala dhee. Ti̱ muntu weena naaheeleei̱ye si̱ye, Tita aku̱mu̱hu̱ti̱ya.”

27 Yesu eeyongela kughila ati, “Ni̱i̱ghu̱u̱ye ntuntuuye, buuye mbu̱ghe nti, ‘Tita, onjune kubona-bona kuni’? Bbaa, nanga eki niikiyo kighendeleluwa ekyaleki̱ye naasa munsi. 28 Tita, wooleke bantu ngoku oli na ki̱ti̱i̱ni̱sa!”

Aakabu̱ghi̱ye atiyo, elaka lyalu̱gha mu eghulu, lyaghila liti, “Nooleki̱ye bantu ngoku ndi na ki̱ti̱i̱ni̱sa, kandi nkutodha kubooleka kiyo!” 29 Obu ki̱bbu̱la kya bantu abaabaaghʼo baaghu̱u̱ye elaka eli bateetegheeleli̱ya bighambo ebi. Bamui mu bo baaghila bati ni nkubha. Bhaatu banji baaghila bati ni malai̱ka akwete ku̱bu̱gha na Yesu.

30 Yesu aaghila bantu aba ati, “Elaka eli ndyakughasila enu̱we, talili lyakughasila si̱ye bbaa. 31 Bwile bwahi̱ki̱ye bwa Luhanga ku̱twi̱la nsi eni musango. Kandi bwile bwahi̱ki̱ye bwa Si̱taani̱ oghu alemi̱ye nsi eni Luhanga kumubhingamu. 32 Bhaatu si̱ye bakaakumbamba haa musalaba, nkuleka bantu boona baase ewanje.” 33 Akabu̱gha eki kwoleka mulingo aaghendagha ku̱kwi̱lamu.

34 Niibuwo ki̱bbu̱la kya bantu aba baamu̱ghi̱li̱ye bati, “Tukusomagha mu bilaghilo hambali bi̱ghi̱li̱ye ngu, Ki̱li̱si̱to akuukalʼo bilo nʼebilo, ti̱ uwe okugubha oti̱ya kughila ngu, ‘Mwana wa Muntu bakumubamba haa musalaba’? Ni Mwana wa Muntu wa mulingo ki okwete kughamba?”

35 Yesu aabaghila ati, “Kyeleeli̱ kibalimu haabwa bwile bukee. Mubunge munali na kyeleeli̱, mweli̱ma ghutakabahi̱ki̱yʼo. Oghu akubungilagha mu mweli̱ma taakumanyagha hambali akwete kughenda. 36 Mu̱hi̱ki̱li̱je kyeleeli̱ munali nakiyo, niikuwo mugubhe kufooka baana baa kyeleeli̱ eki.” Obu Yesu aamali̱ye ku̱bu̱gha ebi, aabalu̱ghʼo kandi muntu nʼomui ataamanya hambali aaghendi̱ye.

37 Nankabha Yesu naakoli̱ye byakuswekani̱ya ebi byona banabiboone, baabhenga dhee ku̱mu̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja. 38 Eki kikabʼo ku̱u̱su̱li̱i̱si̱ya ebi mulangi̱ I̱saaya aabu̱ghi̱ye kuba majima ngu:

39 Bhaatu tabaagu̱bhi̱ye ku̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja ngoku aaghi̱li̱ye ati,

42 Ti̱ bwile obu bakani̱ye mu beebembeli̱ baa Bayu̱daaya baahi̱ki̱li̱ja Yesu, bhaatu haabwa kwobaha Bafali̱saayo, boobaha kukyatula mu bantu ngoku baamu̱hi̱ki̱li̱i̱je. Boobaha beebembeli̱ baa Bafali̱saayo kubabhinga mu elami̱li̱yo. 43 Beebembeli̱ aba baabbalagha bantu babasinde mu ki̱i̱kalo kya Luhanga kubasinda.

44 Niibuwo Yesu aabu̱ghi̱ye na elaka lyamaani̱ ati, “Weena oghu ahi̱ki̱li̱i̱je si̱ye taani̱i̱si̱ye ahi̱ki̱li̱i̱je nenkaha bbaa, ahi̱ki̱li̱i̱je na oghu akantuma. 45 Ti̱ na oghu aaboone si̱ye, aboone dhee na oghu akantuma. 46 Naasi̱ye munsi nga kyeleeli̱, niikuwo weena oghu aku̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja si̱ye, ataakala anali mu mweli̱ma.

47 “Muntu weena naanaaghu̱u̱ye butumuwa bwanje kandi abhenga ku̱bu̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja, taani̱i̱si̱ye nku̱mu̱twi̱la musango bbaa, nanga tanaasi̱ye ku̱twi̱la bantu baa munsi musango, nkaasa kubajuna. 48 Abakubhengagha si̱ye kandi babhenga ku̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja butumuwa bwanje, bali na oghu akwisa kubatwi̱la musango. Ti̱ bighambo nkwete kubaghambila bini, niibiyo bilileka haa kilo kya mpelo Luhanga abatwi̱le musango. 49 Agha ni majima ghoonini, nanga tankwete ku̱bu̱gha haabwa bu̱toki̱ bwanje neenini, bhaatu Tita oghu akantuma niiye andaghiiye ebi mbhonganuuwe ku̱bu̱gha. 50 Kandi nimani̱ye ngoku ebi akulaghilagha bikuhaagha bantu bwomi̱i̱li̱ butahuwʼo. Nahabweki ebi nku̱bu̱ghagha ni ebi Tita oghu angambiiye ku̱bu̱gha.”
