Maliki 6:13-22

¹³Tsawalapfa ipfinyamkela wengi na kuwabaka ghamafuta iwatamu wengi, wawahonetsa.

¹⁴Imndewa Herodi kahulika mbuli atso, kwaapfila taghwa lya Yesu tsalimanyika chila hanu. Iwanu wangi walonga, “Yohane Mbatitsa katsilihuka. Ndo mana kana ngupfu tsa ukutenda ipfinu pfa kukangawatsa.”

¹⁵Lekeni wangi walonga, “Ayuno Eliya.” Na wangi walonga, “Ayuno nabii ka wala manabii wa ghumwande.”

¹⁶Herodi hayahulike apfo, kalonga, “Yohane iyanimghanile litwi katsilihuka!”

¹⁷Kwaapfila Herodi imwenyegho tsakalaghitsa Yohane yaghoghighwe, yekighwe mne chifungo. Tsakatenda apfo kwaajili ya Herodiya mwehe wake, ipinga ayo tsakakala mwehe wa ndughu yake Filipi.

¹⁸Yohane Mbatitsa tsakaghendelela kumlongela Herodi, “Ng'apfinoghile bae ghweghwe kumkwela mwehe wa ndughu yako.”

¹⁹Naye Herodiya tsakamhila Yohane na kabama amkome. Lekeni ng'adahile bae kwaajili ya Herodi.

²⁰Herodi tsakampfuka Yohane kwaapfila kamanya Yohane kakala imunu yanoghile na yenzeluke, apfo yang'ali yomlolesa. Tsayang'ali yonoghela kumhulikitsa, hata ka tsayang'ali yoghanzika ng'ani hayomalitsa kumhulikitsa.

²¹Litsuwa limwe, Herodiya tsakapata nafasi mne ichihungo cha kwelekighwa kwa Herodi. Herodi tsakawatendela ichihungo iwatawala, iwakulu we asikali na ipfilongotsi we isi ya Galilaya.

²²Neghe Herodiya hayengile tsakapfina, kamdeng'elesa Herodi ne iwahenza wake. Apfo imndewa kamlongela imwana ayo, “Unilombe ichinu chochose chaubama, nitsokwing'a.”
