20 Yo khulawa mpakha ottuukhule aariiwo Yinsa khumuuza yoori: “Neetta orumiwa ti Yaahaya yoori nite niwuuzele nkhama otule naari onwejaaye ti weyo, ama nivire ninwejaka nkina?”
21 Wakathi otthuupule Yinsa khuwaavonisa alwele a waatta, anamarakala, apale aariina masheethwani, khuwaafunula maasho apale oohooni.
22 Aphano Yinsa khuwaajipu yoori: “Mwilawe mwamuuze Yaahaya etthiipo mooniyeezo na mwisiiliyeezo; apale oohooni antta woona, apale oorakala antta weettetta, anamakuttula antta otwahareshiwa, apale oohisiili ansiila, anamfwa asisimuliwa, na hapari zooshapweya antta olaleyeliwa asikhini.
23 Wooshapweyiwa ti otule ahiniphiiriwaaye ti miiyo.”
24 Anakhiyoni a Yaahaya n'oolaavo, Yinsa khusala owoozaka atthu monkoni wa Yaahaya yoori: “Makuluttu mweetteliye woona niini? Tteetthe yiinisiwaka ti pheevo?
25 Ama moona niini? Mwinyi mmote awaliye kuwo zooshapweya? Apale anwalaaye kuwo zootafikhana aniiya nraaha na aniikhala nkorofwa y'oofwalume.
26 Khi moona niini? Napiyu? Pi etthiipo kiniwuuzani yoori, Yaahaya awaaziti manapiyu akinoko aya.
27 Otu ti otule laari onlupaaye Nttakhuzi la Nnyizinku yoori: ‘Kinlawa kamperekhe karumeyaaka omaasho wawo yoori aattalele tarikhi yawo.’
28 Miiyo kiniwuuzani yoori vakatthi wa apale avokoliweeyo pi aakha, khina mmote anzitiyeeyo Yaahaya; ila otule eeyiye nttitthiiru muufwalume wa Nnyizinku, nwulweene zayita ye.”
29 Atthu ooshi mpakha anamariphisa lumpuru khusiila mattakhuzi a Yinsa. Yo khukhupalela shariya ya Nnyizinku, maana aari awoosiwa ti Yaahaya.
30 Ila mafwarizeewu na anamanozela a kano khukhijilela matakhelo a Nnyizinku khuhoosiwi ti Yaahaya.
31 “Anaatamu apa a leelo eti kiwaalattisane niini?
32 Alattanana khuntti ya asimaana eekhaliye vaparasa akhuwelanaka araka. ‘Fweeyo n'oovumiselani phivi za vaharusi mweeyo khuhiini; khwiipa liipo la huzuni mweeyo khuhilili.’
33 Khuta Yaahaya Namoosa woofuka na ahinnywaaye viinyu, mweeyo mwinri: ‘Ye onaaye masheethwani.’
34 Ata Mwaana wa Pinaatamu onja na onnywa, mweeyo mwinri: ‘Mmoone nsokho otu! Nanhapaliwa, nshirikha wa anamariphisa lumpuru na anatwampi.’
35 Apale anlottaaye ojuwa wa Nnyizinku, anthoonyeza yoori pi wookhweeli.”
36 Mfwarizeewu mmote anvekeliye Yinsa yoori alawe aje owawe. N'oofiya Yinsa khwiikhala yoori aje.
37 Omuuta otthuupule muukha mmote wa natwampi wa sitati ethiitile, khujuwa yoori Yinsa ontta oja wa mfwarizeewu, khuthuula suupha yawe ya mafuttha oonukhela.

39 Aphano mfwarizeewu otule nawoona vitthu epile khusala alupa nroho mwawe araka: “Otu eriwaka aari napiyu eetta ojuwa yoori mwanankha otu aninsapaaye natwampi.”
40 Yinsa khumuuza Simawu yoori: “Kintakha owuuza etthu.” Simawu khujipu yoori: “Kuuzeni mwanliimu.”
41 Yinsa khumuuza yoori: “Atthu awiri eetta wiiliwa nzurukhu ti mwinyi mmote aari wiipaashisakaaye, otu mmote aari wiiliwa miiya thaanu, otu nkina aari wiiliwa hamusiini.
42 Ila oowiiri khuhiivo mmote aawahiyeeyo onripha, ye khuwaaswaamihi oowiiri. Atthu apa awiri amphetachiyeeyo ti tuuvi?”
43 Simawu khujipu araka: “Kinoona yoori ti otule aswaamihiweeyo wa waattavo.” Yinsa khumuuza yoori: “Walikanisa.”
44 Ye khumuuza Simawu anthoonyezaka muukha otule araka: “Onimoona mwanankha otu? Miiyo kata vaje vawo apha khuhikinkhi hatha maati yoori koose moolu aka, ila ye oosa moolu aka na mishozi zawe khukukuttha na nyuuli zawe.
45 Khukipokhereleeni na peeju, ila ye khalikheleleeni opejari moolu aka.
46 Khukivaazeeni mafuttha oonukhela mmwishwa mwaka, ila otu avaaza mafuttha moolu aka.
47 Pi apho kiniwuuzaaye yoori twampi zawe epile za waatta ariinaazo za swaamihiwa; mwaasa woophetacha wawe. Ila otule aswaamihiweeyo vattitthiiru opheta wawe vattitthiiru.”
48 Yinsa khumuuza mwanankha otule yoori: “Twampi zawo za swaamihiwa.”
