Ghamatendo 13:18-26

¹⁸Kwa miyaka ka alubaini kawadudumila akula kunyika.

¹⁹Naye tsakaghahinya makabila saba mne isi ya Kanani, na kuweng'a iwanu wake isi ila iwe yawo.

²⁰Agha ghose ghakala kwa miyaka miya nne hamsini. “Hambele, Imulungu kaweng'a walamutsi iwanu wake mbaka mne matsuwa gha Samweli, nabii we Imulungu.

²¹Kuya iwanu walomba wawe ne imndewa, Imulungu kaweng'a Sauli, imwana wa Kishi wa kabila lya Benjamini yawe mndewa wawo kwa chipindi cha miyaka alubaini.

²²Imulungu hamlapfile Sauli, kamsaghula Daudi yawe mndewa wawo. Imulungu kamlonga pfino Daudi, ‘Nimwona Daudi imwana wa Yese, ka imunu yaghunoghele ghumoyo ghwangu. Yeye katsotenda aghala ghose ghanibama yaghatende.’

²³Kulawa mne lukolo lwa Daudi, Imulungu kawaghalila iwanu wa Isiraeli Mkombotsi Yesu, ka pfalongile.

²⁴Hala Yesu ng'ana yanduse isang'ano yake, Yohane tsakawapetela iwanu wose wa Isiraeli watsileke nzambi na wabatitsighwe.

²⁵Naye Yohane hang'ali yomalitsa isang'ano yake, kalonga, ‘Mwemwe mwolonga nene mkombotsi? Nene si yula bae yamumbeta. Ila ayo kakutsa kuchughu kwangu na nene sibamighwa bae kudohola imitsabi ye imikwabatsa yake.’

²⁶“Ndughu tsangu, watsukulu wa Abrahamu, namwe iwanu iwali si Wayahudi yamumpfuka Imulungu, imbuli ino ya ukombotsi ighalighwa kuna twetwe.
