18 Kwa miyaka ka alubaini kawadudumila akula kunyika.
19 Naye tsakaghahinya makabila saba mne isi ya Kanani, na kuweng'a iwanu wake isi ila iwe yawo.
20 Agha ghose ghakala kwa miyaka miya nne hamsini. “Hambele, Imulungu kaweng'a walamutsi iwanu wake mbaka mne matsuwa gha Samweli, nabii we Imulungu.
21 Kuya iwanu walomba wawe ne imndewa, Imulungu kaweng'a Sauli, imwana wa Kishi wa kabila lya Benjamini yawe mndewa wawo kwa chipindi cha miyaka alubaini.
22 Imulungu 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.’
23 Kulawa mne lukolo lwa Daudi, Imulungu kawaghalila iwanu wa Isiraeli Mkombotsi Yesu, ka pfalongile.
24 Hala Yesu ng'ana yanduse isang'ano yake, Yohane tsakawapetela iwanu wose wa Isiraeli watsileke nzambi na wabatitsighwe.
25 Naye 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.
27 Iwanu wa Yerusalemu na iwakulu wawo ng'awamtangile bae Yesu ka iyo imkombotsi, apfo watimilitsa mbuli tse manabii we Imulungu itsisomighwa chila litsuwa lya Sabato kwa kumuwamba mna msalaba.
28 Hata ka ng'awonile bae imbuli iimtenda yakomighwe, wamlomba Pilato yamuhighe yamkome.
29 Hawamalitse kughatenda ghose ghandikilighwe yeye mne Ghamaandiko, wamhulumsa kulawa mna msalaba, wamwika mne likabuli.
30 Lekeni Imulungu kamtsilihula,
31 na kwa ghamatsuwa mengi ang'ali yakoneka na awala iwang'ali wakwanga naye kulawa Galilaya kughenda Yerusalemu. Hawo sambi wa iwakalangama wake kwa iwanu wa Isiraeli.
