Maaruku 6:7-25

⁷Khuwaakhuwela anakhiyoni awe apale khumi na awiri, khuwaaruma awiri khwa awiri na khuwenkha owahi wa wiikara masheethwani.

⁸Khuwaaruma yoori: “Mwihithuule hatha etthu, yohiiyi pakhora, khamwaarina ya othuula etthu-yoojiwa wala kaapiyaka wa safwari na nzurukhu.

⁹Mwiwale jampali, ila mwihithuule nkhumi wa phiiri.

¹⁰Amana mwifiya nyuupa moote, mwiiye attaapho mpakha siikhu mwinttelaaye olaavo.

¹¹Na miti mikinoko amana zihuupwekhereleni na khuhuusiilini, mwitathe lifufu la mmoolu mwenu mwilaakamo, nkhama oshaahiti vakatthi vaya.”

¹²Yo khulawa na khulaleya atthu yoori athupwiye.

¹³Yo aari wiikara masheethwani awaatta na owaavaaza mafuttha mmwishwa mwaya na owaavonisa alwele awaatta.

¹⁴Mfwalume Herooti khusiila elupiwaka hapari epile, maana nzina la Yinsa laajuwiwe saaneene. Atthu akina khwaaza olupa yoori: “Yaahaya Namoosa eetta osisimuwa muufwa! Tiito zinrettikhanaaye minjuza zootikinisa khwa ye.”

¹⁵Akina aari olupa yoori: “Ye ti Aliyaasi.” Akinoko khusala olupa araka: “Ye napiyu, nkhama manapiyu apale a raku.”

¹⁶Ila Herooti wakathi asiiliyeevo vitthu epile, khuri: “Yaahaya, mwinyi kinshijiyeeyo, asisimuwa muufwa!”

¹⁷Maana Herooti aarumiye yoori akholiwe Yaahaya, afukeliwe nkalapooso, mwaasa wa Herootiiya, muukha wa Filiipe ttwiiye, othuuto anraliyeeyo.

¹⁸Mwaasa wa Yaahaya aari omuuza Herooti yoori: “Khahi halaali weeyo onrala muukha wa ttwiiyo.”

¹⁹Herotiiya aarina katapu khwa Yaahaya, khusala atakha omuula, ila khuhisala awahi oretta,

²⁰mwaasa Herooti aari omoova Yaahaya na aari omwiinanela, maana aari ojuwa yoori ye mwinyi wa shariya na ttakatthiifu. Amana ansiilaka, eetta oshanka; khwa etthiipo waari ontuvela onsiila.

²¹Omwiisho Herotiiya khupattha kiphenyo siikhu ya oretta mwaakha Herooti. Khuretta njampo Herooti na anamalokozela awe awulu, attunkhulu a anajanka na ooshi apale eeyiye afwalume a nti wa Kalileya.

²²Wakathi mwaana wa Herotiiya aviriyeeyo khwiina, khuntuvela Herooti na apale awaakharipushiyeeyo. Mfwalume khumuuza mwanankha otule yoori: “Okivekele wakhula etile ontakhaaye kintta owinkha”.

²³Khumwaahiti khwa olapha yoori: “Wakhula onikivekelaaye, kintta owinkha, mpakha phantte ya ofwalume aka.”

²⁴Mwaana otule khusaruwa khumuuza mamaawe yoori: “Kiveke niini?” Mamaawe khunjipu yoori: “Oveke eeshwa ya Yaahaya Namoosa.”

²⁵Nasaapiru mwanankha otule khwaakuva khulawa wa mfwalume khuveka yoori: “Kintakha mwikinkhe nasaapi eeshwa ya Yaahaya Namoosa mparathu.”
