Malichi 6:13-22

¹³Nawalavya vijeni vinji na wawabakaliza mafuta watamwa waloholigwa.

¹⁴Helodi mndewa wa Galilaya nakahulika goyalingudita Yesu, mina lutogo lwake nalwenela honhu heng'ha. Wanhu wamwe nawali wolonga, “Yohani Mbatiza kazilipuka, ndo mina mong'ho uno wangukola mijito mgati mwake.”

¹⁵Wanhu wanji nawali wolonga, “Munhu ayu ndo Eliya,” na wanji nawali wolonga, “Ayu ndo mloli wa Nguluwi, kota awala waloli wa katali.”

¹⁶Mndewa Helodi vyoyahuliche, nakalonga, “Ayo ndo Yohani mbatiza yondimdumule mutwi, nakazilipuka!”

¹⁷Aho hamwande heye Helodi nakalajiza Yohani yebatigwe, yahindilwe mchinweng'ho, nakadita hino kwa vila nakamhesa Helodiya, nayawele mdala wa Filipo. Filipo nayali mng'holoze Helodi.

¹⁸Yohani Mbatiza nayali yomlonjela Helodi, “Haiwa goya kuhesa mdala wa mng'holozo Filipo.”

¹⁹Helodiya nakawika ching'honi mnhumbula, mbaka yamkopole Yohani, lelo nayali yolemwela kokwaluka ndaze!

²⁰Helodi nayaliyomdumba Yohani, kwa vila nakavizela Yohani nayali Yelile na yatanganiche, ahyo nayali yomwamila, waleche kumdita vibi. Helodi nakagana kumhulichiza Yohani, hanga loyamhuliche, nakawa na masinzo.

²¹Zuwa limwe Helodiya nakapata mhumu. Zuwa lya kudita kukumbuchila kwa zuwa lyoyapondigwe Helodi, naloyawaditile mnvina wawele wakulu kwa heye na wakulu wa wamizi na wakulu weng'ha wawele wochikala kuli isi ya Galilaya.

²²Mhinza wa Helodiya nakenjila mng'handa na kuvina goya, awala wakulu na Helodi na wajenzi wanji nawanojezwa. Mndewa Helodi nakamlonjela ayula mhinza, “Undande chinhu choneche choulingugana na heni ndokupa.”
