1 Haanu̱ma ya bilo bikee, Yesu aakuuka mu tau̱ni̱ yʼewaabo Kapelenau̱mu̱, ti̱ makulu ghaamalakaka ngoku aliyeyo. 2 Bantu baasa bakaniiye kimui nankabha hanja tawangu̱gu̱bhi̱ye kukuba kati. Aatebeja kighambo kya Luhanga. 3 Niibuwo basaasa bbanaa baasi̱ye baheeki̱ye musaasa aghenagheneeu̱we, mbamuleetela ye. 4 Bhaatu, haabwa bantu kukanilamu kimui, tabaagu̱bhi̱ye ku̱mu̱ki̱dhi̱yʼo Yesu. Nahabweki baatobhola kihulu haa lusui lwa kisiika eki Yesu eegheeseli̱yaghamu, baakoteli̱yamu musaasa oghu bamulangaai̱ye haa kalili ke. 5 Obu aaboone ku̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja kwabo, aaghila musaasa aghenagheneeu̱we oghu ati, “Mwana wanje, bibhi byawe byakughaniiwe.”

6 Niibuwo bamui mu beegheesi̱ya baa bilaghilo abaali basitami̱yʼo baatandi̱ki̱ye kweli̱li̱kana bati, 7 “Musaasa oni akugubha ati̱ya ku̱bu̱gha ngʼeki? Oku ni kwambula Luhanga! Taaliyo muntu nʼomui oghu akugubha kughanila bibhi kuuyʼo Luhanga enkaha!” 8 Du̱mbi̱ Yesu aakenga ebi bakwete kweli̱li̱kana, aabaghila ati, “Mukwete kweli̱li̱kana mutiyo nangaaki? 9 Eki̱dhooti̱ye ku̱bu̱gha ni kyahaa? Kughila mulema oni nti, ‘Bibhi byawe byakughaniiwe,’ kedha kumughila nti ‘Oomuke, okome kalili kaawe kandi olubhatange’? 10 Bhaatu nkubbala mumanye ngoku si̱ye, Mwana wa Muntu, ndi na bu̱toki̱ munsi muni kughanila bantu bibhi.” Aaghila mulwaye oghu ati, 11 “Nkulaghiiye, oomuke, okome kalili kaawe, weeghendele ewaawe!” 12 Du̱mbi̱ musaasa oghu aamuka, aakoma kalili ke, eeghendela; boona banamuloleleeye. Boona baaswekela kimui kandi baasinda Luhanga bati, “Tatukabonagha nga kini!”

13 Yesu aatodha aakuuka haa nanja ya Galilaaya. Kiigambi̱ kya bantu kyamwisʼo; aabeegheesi̱ya. 14 Naanasaala, aabona Leevi̱ mukumaani̱ya wa musolo mutabani̱ wa Alifaayo asitami̱ye mu ekumaani̱li̱yo liye. Aamughila ati, “Onkwame.” Leevi̱ aamuka, aamukwama.

15 Lwagholo olu Yesu na beeghesebuwa be baaliila mu numba ya Leevi̱. Bantu bakani̱ye, bakumaani̱ya baa musolo na basi̱i̱si̱ banji abaabaagha bamukweme, baaliya hamui naye na beeghesebuwa be. 16 Obu bamui mu beegheesi̱ya baa bilaghilo abaabaagha bali Bafali̱saayo baaboone Yesu naaliya na bantu ngʼaba, baabu̱u̱li̱ya beeghesebuwa be bati, “Akuliyagha na bakumaani̱ya baa musolo na basi̱i̱si̱ nangaaki?” 17 Obu Yesu aaki̱i̱ghu̱u̱ye, aabaghila ati, “Bantu abatalwaye tabakubbalagha mutambi̱li̱ bbaa, kuuyʼo abalwaye. Tanaasi̱ye haabwa bahi̱ki̱li̱i̱ye, bhaatu haabwa basi̱i̱si̱.”

18 Bwile bumui, beeghesebuwa baa Yohaana Mubati̱ji̱ na Bafali̱saayo bakaba basi̱i̱bi̱ye. Niibuwo bantu baasi̱ye, baabu̱u̱li̱ya Yesu bati, “Beeghesebuwa baa Yohaana na Bafali̱saayo baku̱si̱i̱bagha, bhaatu beeghesebuwa baawe tabaku̱si̱i̱bagha, nangaaki?”

19 Aabakuukamu ati, “Buuye mu̱kweli̱li̱kana muti baghenu̱ abali mu bu̱ghenu̱ bwa kuswela bakugubha ku̱si̱i̱ba? Oghu akuswela anali nʼabo, tabakugubha bbaa. 20 Noo bwile bu̱li̱hi̱ka obu balibaayamu oghu akuswela oghu, obu niibuwo bali̱si̱i̱ba.

21 “Taaliyo oghu akubhandikagha ki̱twi̱ke kya lughoye luhyaka haa lughoye lukulu. Nanga ki̱twi̱ke kihyaka eki kikubhula lukulu olu kilutemule, kihulu kyeyongele. 22 Taaliyo nʼomui oghu akutaagha vi̱i̱ni̱ mpyaka mu mpu sikulu bbaa, nanga vi̱i̱ni̱ mpyaka eghi ekwati̱ya mpu sikulu esi eseeseke na mpu sibhiiye. Akutaagha vi̱i̱ni̱ mpyaka mu mpu sihyaka.”

23 Kilo kya Sabhato kimui, Yesu aasaalilagha mu misili ya ngano. Beeghesebuwa be mbanaghenda, baatandika kukobha mituwe ya ngano eghi. 24 Niibuwo Bafali̱saayo baamu̱bu̱u̱i̱ye bati, “Kusighikila mu bilaghilo, mukwete kukola ekitabhonganuuwe kukoluwa haa kilo kya Sabhato nangaaki?”

25 Aabakuukamu ati, “Buuye tamukasomagha ebi Mukama Dhau̱dhi̱ aakoli̱ye obu eye naaba abaabaagha naye njala yaabaagha ebakwete? 26 Obu Abbyasaali̱ aabaagha mukulu wa bahongi̱ boona, Dhau̱dhi̱ akataaha mu Numba ya Luhanga,* 2:26 Teeli Numba ya Luhanga eghi ekakweluwa mu Yelusaalemu mu bwile bwa Solomooni̱ kedha Helude. Ni weema namu̱li̱to eghi Luhanga aalaghiiye Musa kukwela. aaliya migaati̱ eghi bahongi̱ bahongeeye Luhanga. Kandi aaghiha nʼabaabaagha naye. Kusighikila mu bilaghilo, migaati̱ eghi tayaalibuwagha bantu banji kuuyʼo bahongi̱ bonkaha.”

27 Niibuwo aabaghi̱li̱ye ati, “Kilo kya Sabhato kiliyo haabwa kughasila bantu, bantu tabaliyo haabwa kilo kya Sabhato bbaa. 28 Nahabweki Mwana wa Muntu niiye Mukama wa kilo kya Sabhato.”
