MALUKO 6:20-32

²⁰Helode kamdumba Yohana kwavija kavitanga kamba Yohana hakalile munhu kizenzeleganye na kakala munhu wa Mulungu, avo kamwimiliza. Kanogelwa kumtegeleza, ila yehesha kumtegeleza kakala yogaya ng'hani mkugelegeza, ila kipigiti chose kakala yomtegeleza.

²¹Hakimambukizo Helodia kapata nzila. Dikala zua da ng'humbukila ya mvumbuka ya Helode, kipigiti Helode vayawatendele lusona wakulu wose wa silikali, wakulu wa asikali, na wakulu wa wenekae wa Galilaya.

²²Mndele wa Helodia kengila na kuvina, Helode na iwahenza wakalile baho wanogelwa ng'hani. Avo mndewa kamulongela ija imndele, “Nipule kinhu chochose chuulonda, nokugwelela.”

²³Mkuiduila kamulongela, “Nokugwelela kinhu chochose chondaunipule, hata lwenza lwa undewa wangu.”

²⁴Avo ija imndele kalawa kunze kumuuza mamaake, “Nikapule choni?” Na heyo kamulongela, “Pala da Yohana M'batiza.”

²⁵Ija imndele kabwela hima ha mndewa na kupula, “Nolonda unigwelele sambisambi pala da Yohana M'batiza muna ulungo!”

²⁶Mndewa kona giogio ng'hani, ila sama ya kiduilo chayaiduile na sama ya iwahenza wakalile haja hameza, hadahile kulema.

²⁷Avo kamulagiza asikali yomkomhokela yagale pala da Yohana. Asikali kachola mding'anda da kufungila wanhu, na kukanha pala da Yohana.

²⁸Abaho, kadigala mulungo na kumgwelela imndele, na heyo kamgwelela mamaake.

²⁹Wanahina wa Yohana viwahulike gano, weza kulusola lukuli lwake na kuluzika.

³⁰Iwatumigwa wa Kilisto wabwela waiting'hana na Yesu wamulongela gose gawatendile na kufundiza.

³¹Kukala na wanhu bwando wayagwe wokwiza na wayagwe wochola mbaka Yesu na wanahina zake hawapatile hata kipigiti cha kuja. Avo Yesu kawalongela, “Tusegeleni tuchole hanhu ha kifiso, muhumule kidogo.”

³²Avo wakwela mngalawa wasonga kusegela weiyeka, wachola hanhu ha kifiso.
