5 Abhwesilepi kubhomba miujiza Apu, ila akabhabhekela bhatamu bhaolebe mabhoko kumutu bhakaponyesibhwa.
6 Asyangesibhu sana kwandabha jha kutokuamini kwa bhene. Kisha akafigendela fejiji fya jirani fikumanyisya.
7 Akabhakuta bhala bhanafunzi kumi na bhabhele akajha nela kubhalaghisya bhabhele bhabhele. Abhapelili mamlaka juu jha pepo bhabhibhi,
8 ni kubhaamuru bhasiloli kyokyohakila isipokujha ndonga tu. Bhasitoli nkate, bhwala nkoba, bhwala fedha, mu kibindu;
9 Lakini bhafwalajhi filatu na siyo makanzu mabhele.
10 Na akabhajobhela, “Nyumba jhojhioha jha mwibeta kujhingila, mutamayi apu mpaka pa mwibeta kubhoka.
11 Na mji bhobhuoha bhwa bhabelili kubhapokela bhwala kubhap'elekesya mu bhokai kwa bhene, mukung'undai mafumbi gha magolo ghinu, ijhiayi bhushuhuda kwa bhene.”
12 Na bhene bhakalota kutangasya bhanu bhatubuajhi ni kuleka dhambi sya bhene.
13 Bhabhabhosili pepo bhingi, na bhabhabakili bhatamu mafuta hi kubhaponyesya.
14 Mfalme Herode bho ap'eliki aghu, kwa kujha lihina lya Yesu lyamalili kumanyikana sana. Baadhi bhakajobha, “Yohana mbatizaji afufuiki ni kwa ndabha ej'he nghofu jha miujiza jhibhomba mbombo mugati mwa muene.”
15 Baadhi jha bhene bhakajobha, “Ojho ndo Eliya,” bado bhangi bhakajobha, “Ojho ndo nabii, kama mmonga ghwa bhala manabii bha muandi.”
16 Lakini Herode bho ap'eliki agha akajobha, “Yohana, jhanin'dumuili mutu afufulibhu.”
17 Maana Herode muene alaghisi Yohana akamulibhwayi na amfungili mu ligereza kwandabha jha Herodia (n'dala ghwa kakajhake Filipo) kwa ndabha muene ajhele an'gegili.
18 Kwandabha Yohana an'jobhili Herode, “Halali lepi kun'gega n'dala ghwa kakajhaku.”
19 Lakini Herodia ajhandili kun'dadila kun'koma lakini abhwesi lepi,
20 maana Herode an'tilili Yohana; amanyili kujha n'kolo haki na n'takatifu, na andekili kinofu. Na bhoajhendelili kump'elekesya ahuzuniki sana, lakini ah'obhelili kump'elekesya.
21 Hata bho nghufikili bhwakati muafaka jhifikili ni kukaribila ligono lya kuhogoleka Herode akabhajhandalila maofisa bha muene karamu, ni makamanda ni bhalongosi bha Galilaya.
22 Ndipo mwali ghwa Herodia akajhingila ni kukina mbele jha bhene, akamfurahisya Herode ni bhageni bhabhatamili bhwakati bhwa kyakulya kya kimihi. Ndipo mfalme akan'jobhela mwali, “Nis'okajhi kyokyoha kya ghwilonda nani nikupela.”
23 Akandapila ni kujobha, kyokyoha kyaghwibeta kunis'oma, nibetakupela, hata nusu jha bhufalme bhuangu.”
24 Akah'oma kwibhala akan'kota nyinamunu, “Nis'okajhi kiki?” Akajobha, “Mutu ghwa Yohana Mbatisiaji.”
25 Na mara jhejhuejhu akajhingila kwa mfalme akajhanda kujobha, “Nilonda nipelayi mu sahani, mutu ghwa Yohana Mbatisiji.”
26 Mfalme asikitishibhu sana, lakini kwa ndabha jha kiapo kya muene ni kwa ndabha jha bhahesya abhwesilepi kumbelekelela liombi lya muene.
27 Efyo, mfalme akabhatuma askari Kati jha bhalinzi bha muene ni kubhalaghisya kulota kundetela mutu ghwa Yohana. Mlinzi akalota kun'dumula mutu kwa ajhele mu kifungu.
28 Akaghuleta mutu ghwa muene mu sahani ni kumpela mwali, ni mwali akampela nyinamunu.
29 Na bhanafunzi bha muene bho muene bho bhapheliki aghu, bhakalota kuulota mb'ele ghwa muene bhakal'ota kuusiela kumakaburi.
30 Ni mitume, bhabhonganiki pamonga mb'ele jha Yesu bhakamb'ola ghoha gha bhabhombili ni ghabhafundisi.
31 Nu muene akabhajobhela, “Muhidayi mwebhene mahali pa faragha na tup'omosekajhi kwa muda.” Bhanu bhingi bhakajha bhihhida ni kubhoka, hata bhakabhili lepi nafasi jha kulya.
32 Kabhele bhakakuela mashua bhakalota mahali pa faragha bhene.
33 Lakini bhabhabhuene bhibhomba ni bhingi bhakabhamanya kwa pamonga bhajumbili kwa magolo kuh'omela miji ghioha, nabhu bhakafika kabla jha bhene.
34 Bho bhafikili pwani, abhubhuene bhumati mbaha na akabhahurumila kwa ndabha bha jhele kama ng'osi syasidulili n'dimaji. Na akajhanda kubhafundisya mambo mingi.
35 Muda bho bhulotili sana, bhanafunzi bhakan'hidila bhakan'jobhela, “Apa ndo mahali pa faragha ni muda ghulotili.
36 Ubhalaghajhi bhalotajhi miji ghya jirani ni fijiji ili bhakih'emelilayi kya kulya.”
37 Lakini akabhajibu akajobha,”Mubhapelayi muenga kyakulya.” Bhakan'jobhela, “Twibhwesya kulota kubhahemelela kyakulya ni mikate ghuaghejhe ni thamani jha dinari mia mbili ni kubhapela bhaliajhi?”
38 Akabhajobhela,” Mujhele ni mikate milenga? Mulotajhi mukalangayi, “bhobhakabhili bhakan'jobhela, “Mikate mihanu ni somba sibhele.”
