19 khuwaaruma yoori alawe amuuzele Mbwana yoori: “Weeyo ti otu naari onwejaaye ama ninweje nkina?”
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.
