5 Ni wonwo khoonrye upanka cotikineeha hata mena. Ahaavooniha aretta vakani paahi, athatelaka matata.
6 Ahotikhinaca uhikupali waatthu ale. Vano ahoviravira itthoko co wattamana eetthucihaka wonwo.
7 Aheehana khumi na eeli, ni ahopacera waruma eeli eeli, ni ahaavaha ikuru yolamulela minepa coonanara.
8 Ahaalamulela wiira ahikuse itthu yootthumiri ni iphiro, wala nkatthe, wala nrupa, mena nsurukhu nyununi, akuse ikopo paahi.
9 Aware ikwakwatta ni ahiwye ihancu piili.
10 Ni ahaahimerya tho: Mwakelaka inupa, nkhale wonwo mpaka wunwa nipuro nno.
11 Ni mwahaakheleliyeke nipuro nno, na atthu ale yahiwiwekeni, woothama vale, nkukutthe ntthupi no manyaa enyu, wiira ikhale itthu inthoonyera mirima caya atthu ale.
12 Amitthenka yahorwaca ni yahaalaka atthu oottharuwela itaampi.
13 Yahoomola minepa coonanara ciinci, yahaattikitthela ni makhura aretta enci mpaka waavoniha.
14 Mwene Heroti aheewa cuulumaceriyaka ca Yesu, nanruma ncina nawe ni anawiira: Ula phi Yohani Mpatisa oonwelenle mwaatthu ookhwa, phimaana cinawithoonyera mwa ule ikuru coopanka cotikhineeha.
15 Akina yaanawiira: Phi Eliya. Akina yanalipihera: Ri nnapiyu toko anapiyu akina.
16 Heroti nanso, wowiiwa itthu ila anahimya eeraka: Yohani unthikinlyaka isiko phunwelenle.
17 Khweeli, Heroti phalamunle utthukiya Yohani ni weesiya nkalaposo, nlattu wa Herotiyata, amwaarawe Filipe nhimaawe, anthenlyawe.
18 Nlattu Yohani anamwiirela Heroti: Khunleveliya ukhalana amwaarawe nhimaa.
19 Herotiyata hopophela nreca ni anatthuna umwiiva, nanso khoorya,
20 nlattu Heroti anamoova Yohani ni, acuwelaka wiira ari ntthu ooloka ni nttakattifu, anamwaakhiha; wamwiiwawe anasanka, nanso anammiriyana ni uciveliya.
21 Nanso nahophiya nihuku nooreera, Heroti wopuwelenlyawe nihuku nayariyawe ahophavela yoolya yinci yowaavaha oolupale owahano, oolupale anakhotto, ni mamwene o Kalileya.
22 Nakenle wiina mwana nthiyana a Herotiyata wahoncivela Heroti na atthu yaalattuliye. Mwene ahomwiirela mwali: Ukilepele itthu phi itthu intthunaa ni mi kimmowuvaha.
23 Ni ahopwahera: Kimmowuvaha itthu yothene inhalaa ukilepela hata ukhalaka mwanusu omwene aka.
24 Mwali ahokhuma waakoha anumwane wiira: Kilepele isiyani? Ala yahaakhula: Muru wa Yohani Mpatisa.
25 Mwali akelaka tho nenna nna, ahonlepela mwene, eeraka: Kintthuna uvahiya nananoru, unaheliye munttiisini muru wa Yohani Mpatisa.
26 Mwene ahotuthuwa, nanso nlattu woolupela wawe ni, nlattu waatthu yaalatuliye, khathunne unthuwa.
27 Nenna nna ahonlamulela mayorontta uwiha muru wa Yohani. Mayorontta ahorwaa nkalaposo ni ahothikila isiko ya Yohani,
28 ni wahoolo ahowiha muru munttiisini mpaka ummaha mwali, ni ula ahaavaha anumwane.
29 Ucuwela waya itthu ila owiitthuca a Yohani, yahokusa nrutthu ni yahothipela mmahiyeni.
30 Amitthenka yahothukumana wa Yesu ni yahonttonkacera citthu cothene capankilyaya ni citthu cihilyaya.
31 Ni Yesu ahaahimerya: Mmweeke, nirwe nipuro nowiipithyaa ni mmumule vakani, nlattu yaari enci yaarwa ni yaawa mpaka uhikhalana ukati woolya.
32 Vano yahorwaa ni ikalawa nipuro nowiipithyaa nahaariwo hata ntthu.
33 Yoonaka arwaka, enci yahocuwela ukitthu unkelaya. Ni mmatthokoni mothene yahorwaa, yeetaka vathi, nipuro nne, ni yahophiya nraci.
34 Wakhuruwawe nkalawani, Yesu ahoona mphwinko muulupale ni ahoonela ikiriri, nlattu yaari toko ikhontwaa cohikhalana nhaakheli. Vano ahopacera weetthuciha ukati mwinci.
35 Ncuwa wakelaya utthekuwa, owiitthuca awe yahomwattamerya nuunhimerya: Nipuro nna niri toko mwini, ni ncuwa notthekuwa.
36 Walamulele urwaa mmawaani ni mmatthokoni cowattamana wiira yathume yoolya.
37 Ahaakhula: Mwaavahe nyenyu wa yoolya. Na ale yahonhimerya: Wothuma mikatthe cowavaha atthu ale othene, nimphavela ncurukhu iminya piili.
38 Yesu ahopwahera: Nhaana mikatthe mikavi? Nrwee moone. Anakohile atthu, yahaakhula: Mikatthe mithanu ni ihopa piili.
