1 Yesu loyalonjile gala goyaganile wanhu wahulichize, nakaluta Kapanaumu. 2 Ako kwali na mkulu wa wamizi mloma, yali na chitumagwa yomgana lukami. Yula chitumagwa wa heye yaliyotamika behi ya kubagama. 3 Yula mkulu wa wamizi wa Loma loyahuliche mbuli za Yesu kawalonjela wakulu wamwe wayahudi wakamlonjele yoye yamusile utamwa yula mpogozi. 4 Lowafichile kwa Yesu, wamdedeza ng'hatu, wolonga, “Munhu ayu imgana yaditilwe mbuli ayo. 5 Mina heye yuye kanguwagana wanhu wa hetwe na isi ya hetwe, na ndo yatuzenjele ila ng'handa ya kusalila.” 6 Yesu nakaluta hamwe na hewo. Hoyali behi kwinjila kaye ha yula mkulu wa wamizi Mloma, kawalajiza wala weganaga wakamlonjele Yesu, “Mkulu siganigwe winjile mng'handa ya heni. 7 Ndo mina siwene ndanguganigwa mbuye kouli hegwe, ila ulonje ulonzi hela, chitumagwa wa heni kowa mkomu. 8 Mina, na heni nani, nda munhu mbichigwa hali ludali lwa wanji, ndanawo wamizi hasi ha heni. Ndangumlonjela yumwe, ‘Ulute!’ Na heye kanguluta, na yunji, ‘Uye!’ Na heye kanguya, na chitumagwa wa heni, ‘Udite chinhu chino,’ Na heye kangudita.”

9 Yesu loyahuliche ago, nakabubuwala, kamtogola yula mkulu. Hamba kawagalamchila wala wali womuwinza, kalonga, “Ndanguwalonjelani, sinamona munhu yawele na makundo kota aga, mli isi yeng'ha ya Izilaeli.” 10 Wala wanhu lowafichile kaye wamfika yula chitumagwa yotamika yawele mkomu.

11 Hamba Yesu nakaluta honhu hamwe hawele nguchemigwa Naini, na wala walanguswa na wanhu wanji, newelongoza. 12 Hoyali behi na lwizi lukulu lwa kwinjila hali honhu, walawila wanhu wawele wamholile msongolo yumwe yajile, mwana yaganigwe na mamo yumwe yalechelelwe. Wanhu wenji wahala wali hamwe na ayo mamo. 13 Mkulu loyamuwene ayo kamonela isungu, kamlonjela, “Uleche kulila.” 14 Hamba kazakuchidoliza chinhanda chili na munhu yabagame, wala wali wamholile wema. Hamba kalonga, “Msongolo! Ndangukulonjela, winuche!” 15 Yula yajile kenuka, kekalisa, kaluka kudamla. Hamba Yesu kamhola kamgala kuli maiwake. 16 Wanhu weng'ha wazangudumba, wazangumtogola Nguluwi wolonga, “Mloli mkulu wa Nguluwi kalawila hotuli. Nguluwi koya kuwalohola wanhu wa heye.” 17 Mbuli azo zenela Yudeya kweng'ha na isi ya habehi.

18 Wala walanguswa wa Yohani wamlonjela mbuli zeng'ha zilonjigwe zilingumlapa Yesu. Heye Yohani nakawachema weli mwa wala walanguswa wa heye kawalonjela, 19 walute kwa Mkulu wamuuze, “Hegwe ndo yula yalinguya, au tumbete munhu yunji?” 20 Wala weli yawalanguse lowafichile hali Yesu wamlonjela, “Yohani Mbatiza katulonjela tuye kwa hegwe tukuuze, ‘Hegwe ndo yula yali nguya, au tumbeteze munhu yunji?’ ”

21 Muhela awo, Yesu yaliyowosela matamwa wanhu wenji walingugazigwa na matamwa, wali na vijeni vihile, na wanhu wenji wohambe walole wazangulola. 22 Yolawa Yesu kawalonjela, “Mlute mkamlonjele Yohani gala gomgahuliche na kugona, wali wohambe walole wangulola, wali na magulu gaziliche wangujenda. Wali na uswema wangwela, wohambe wahuliche wanguhulika, wafile katali wanguzilipuka, wazunwa wangudamlilwa Mbuli Inojile. 23 Kabweda yula munhu yohambe yandeme heni na gala gondilingudita!”

24 Aho watumigwa na Yohani lowochile, Yesu kaluka kuwalonjela wanhu wenji wamemile, gala gomlapa Yohani, “Lomlutile kumlola Yohani kugunuche, na mijesa yawele munhu wachi? Hambi na mijesa kowa kota isoli litigaswa na mbeho? 25 Lelo, namluta kulola munhu yali ndaze? Namluta kumlola munhu yavalile goya? Hebu! Wanhu wawele nguvala goya na wali na ukomu unojile wangikala mli ng'handa za wandewa! 26 Lelo mndonjele hambi namluta kumlola munhu wachi? Namluta kumlola mloli wa Nguluwi? Ena! Ndanguwalonjelani hemwe, ila nammona mng'hangala kusinda Mloli wa Nguluwi. 27 Nguluwi kangulonga, ayu Yohani ndo yawele ngulonjigwa mli Maandiko Matakatifu, ‘Ulole heni ndangumigala msenga yakugololele nzila ya hegwe.’ 28 Yesu kasinda kwa kulonga, ndangukulonjelani, wanhu weng'ha haduhu yawele mkulu ng'hatu kusinda Yohani Mbatiza. Ahyo, yula yali mdodo ng'hatu kuli Undewa wa Nguluwi, ndo mkulu kusinda heye.”

29 Wanhu weng'ha, na wakongoza kodi lowahuliche ago, nawatogola kunoga kwa Nguluwi ahyo nawakunda kubatizigwa na Yohani. 30 Ila Mafalisayo na wala wavizelele goya Malajizo ga Musa, nawalema kumhulichiza Nguluwi, kwa vila nawalema kubatizigwa na Yohani.

31 Yesu nakalonga, “Ulelo awu ndiuwhanize na chinhu chachi? Ndo wanhu wali ndaze? 32 Kota wasongolo wawele wekalise kuli soko wochichema na kilonjela, ‘Tuwatowelani mluli ila hamvinile! Twimba nzimbo za chililo, ila hamlilile.’ 33 Yohani Mbatiza nakoya kazanguwoha na hang'hwele ujimbi, hemwe mlonga, ‘Kana chijeni!’ 34 Heye mwana wa munhu koya, kazangulya na kung'hwa, hemwe mlonga, ‘Mloleni, mlya chila chinhu ayu mgalaji, kangigana na wakongoza kodi, na wehile.’ 35 Ila luhala lwa Nguluwi loneka lunoga kwa wala weng'ha walinguikunda.”

36 Mfalisayo yumwe nakamchema Yesu kaye koyekalaga kulya ndiya ya hamihe hamwe na heye. Aho Yesu nakaluta kuli ng'handa ya Mfalisayo, na kekalisa kulya ndiya. 37 Kuli ula mji hali mamo yumwe yawele na gehile. Loyahuliche Yesu kamng'handa ya ayo Mfalisayo, nakahola chupa ya alabasta iwelenguguzigwa kwa sendi nyinji imemile mafuta galingunhunhyilila ng'hatu. 38 Koya kema habehi hali magulu ga Yesu, kalila, na mahozi gake gaza gumlagalila Yesu mmagulu. Ayo mdala kaza kubagusa magulu ga Yesu kwa mnvili zake. Hamba kamnonela magulu na kumbakaliza gala mafuta gawelengunhunhyilila. 39 Yula Mfalisayo yamchemile Yesu yawene ahyo, kazangijesa mnhumbula, “Wone munhu ayu na yawe Mloli wa Nguluwi, yahavizelele mdala ayu yamdolize, kandaze, kana gehile!” 40 Yesu kamlonjela ayo Mfalisayo, yamchemile, “Simoni ndina chinhu cha kukulonjela.” Heye Simoni nakamlonjela, “Ena mlangusa undonjele.” 41 Yesu kaluka kulonga, “Wanhu weli wamwaziche munhu sendi, yumwe yali yamwaziche sendi zihejile msahala wa mhela umwe na nusu, na yunji sendi denali miya zihano zihejile msahala wa mwezi umwe na nusu. 42 Lowalemwelile kumhilulila gowaziche ayo munhu, nahawadaile weng'ha weli, awo weli yalikohi yomgana lukami munhu yula yawaziche?” 43 Simoni nakedichila, “Ndangijesa ndo Yula yalechelwe sendi nyinji zoyawele ngudaigwa.” Yesu nakamlonjela “Goya.”

44 Hamba kagalamka kwa yula mdala kalonga, “Simoni kwangumona ayu mdala?, Heni honyinjile aha haluga hako humphele mazi ga kuhovujila magulu gangu, ila mdala ayu kanhyovuga magulu gangu na mahozi gake na kumbagusa na mnvili za heye. 45 Hegwe hundamse kwa kunonela, ila ayu myago mdala kulawa nhyinjile hano yali yoganonela magulu gangu. 46 Hegwe hulajile isungu lyako kwa kumbakaliza mafuta ga ngulingunhunhyilila mmutwi, ila ayu myago mdala kadita ahyo kambakaliza magulu gangu. 47 Ahyo ndangukulonjela, ayu mdala kangungana ng'hatu, na ndo koselwa gehile ga heye menji. Ila munhu yoselwe gehile mado kangugana mado.” 48 Na baho Yesu kamlonjela yula mdala, “Kusilwa geng'ha gehile gouditile.”

49 Aho wala wali hamwe mchisanya wazangiuza, “Munhu ayu kandaze kangumusila munhu gehile goyaditile?” 50 Heye Yesu kamlonjela yula mdala, “Makundo ga hegwe gakulohola, ulute goya.”
