Luka 7:19-30

¹⁹Aku Yahaya isa̱i atoni a ne ama a re, u suku le a asu u Asheku, a wece yi, “Aɗa uza ɗa wa tuwa̱ vi, ko tsu vana uza roku?”

²⁰An ama yi a tuwa̱i ara Yesu, a tonuko yi, “Yahaya Kalyuɓugi ɗa u suku tsu ara vunu, u da, ‘Aɗa va tuwa̱ vi, ko tsu vana uza roku?’ ”

²¹Aꞌayin a nala yi tani, Yesu ta̱na̱sa̱ ta̱ ama ushani aza a mɓa̱la̱ icun kau‑kau n aza a ityoni i cingi. Kpam arumba̱ ushani a wene ta̱ asu.

²²Yesu wushunku le, “Walai i ba i tonuko Yahaya ili iꞌya i wenei, n iꞌya i panai. Arumba̱ a wene ta̱ asu, awunu a wala ta̱, nkutu n ta̱na̱ ta̱, agulani a pana ta̱, akushe a ꞌya̱nga̱ ta̱ n uma. A yanka ta̱ aza a unambi kuɓari ku Kadyanshi ka Shinga.

²³I tonuko yi kpam, ‘Uza ɗa baci bawu u ta̱ɗa̱tsa̱i adama a va̱, uza u una̱ u shinga u ɗa.’ ”

²⁴An atsumate a Yahaya yi a lazai, Yesu ka̱na̱i uyanka ama kadyanshi ka Yahaya, “An i banai a kakamba ki, ndya ya ciga i wene? Asomini a ɗa uwule u tsu purusa̱ a asu u ɗa baci dem u lapanai, ko iyen?

²⁵Ko vuma ɗa u ukai aminya a ikebe, aya ya ciga i wene? Aꞌa. A aꞌeɓile a ngono a ɗa aza ɗa a ka ukusa aminya a shinga, n a pani kayanyan aꞌa̱ri, shegai a kakamba wa.

²⁶Matsumate ma ya bolo uwene? Eye, kpam u la ta̱ matsumate.

²⁷Yahaya ɗa gai Tagara̱da u Kashila̱ wa dansa̱ka vi, an a danai, ‘Ma suku ta̱ katsumate ka va̱ a kapala ka vunu, uza ɗa wa lapuluka vu ure.’

²⁸N tonuko ɗa̱ gba̱ a asuvu a ama ɗa aka a matsai, uza wa̱ la u la yi wa. Shegai gba̱ n nala, uza u kenukulu gba̱ a asuvu a tsugono tsu Kashila̱ u la yi ta̱.”

²⁹(An ama, hal gba̱m n awushi a utafa a ɗa aꞌa̱ri pini a panai nala, a wushuki an uyan u ukuna u Kashila̱ u ɗa ili i maci. An u wokoi a wushuki Yahaya lyuɓugusu le.

³⁰Shegai Afarishi n arevi a Mele a ꞌyuwain ili iꞌya Kashila̱ ka ciga le n iꞌya; an a ꞌyuwain u lyuɓugusu le.)
