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.”

²³Kahi na kwa ulonzi winji wa kilaha, nakamlonjela, “Ndangilaha kota choneche choundanda, ndokupa, mbaka nusu ya undewa wa heni.”

²⁴Aho yula mhinza nakalawa kunze kumuuza mayake, “Ndande choni?” Na heye nakamwidichila, “Ulande mutwi wa Yohani Mbatiza.”

²⁵Mhinza yula nakamhiluchila mndewa yobilima na kumlonjela, “Ndangulanda ndigalile sambi baha mchisaye mutwi wa Yohani Mbatiza.”

²⁶Mndewa Helodi nakesinza ng'hatu, ila kwa vila nakelaha, hali wala wajenzi wezile mchilyo, nahamlemele hebu.

²⁷Lelo mndewa Helodi nakawalajiza mwamizi yakegale mutwi wa Yohani. Mwamizi nakaluta, nakumdumula mutwi Yohani mla mchinweng'ho,

²⁸nakegala mutwi wa Yohani Mbatiza uwichigwe mchisaye, nakamha mhinza na mhinza nakamigalila mayake.

²⁹Walanguswa wa Yohani lowahuliche mbuli ayo, nawaluta kuuhola mtufi wa Yohani, wazakuutila mchilaga.

³⁰Watumigwa nawahiluka, nawekungajiza hamwe hali Yesu, nawamlonjela geng'ha gowaditile na kulangusa.

³¹Yesu nakawalonjela, “Tulute tuliyeka honhu ha uviso tukesele tandi.” Nakalonga ahyo kwa vila nakwali na wanhu wenji lukami wawele wofika aho na kuka mbaka Yesu na walanguswa wa heye nahawawele na mhumu wa kulya chilyo.
