24na mnumbwi tsa ghwa kutali na kumwani ghwotowighwa na ghamawimbi, kwaapfila inyahemu tsaikala yoghukunughitsa.
25Habehi na ukucha, Yesu kawaghendela, aku koghenda mchanya mwe ghamatsi.
26Iwanang'ina wake hawamwonile koghenda mchanya mwe ghamatsi, tsawapfuka. Walonga, “Ghumtsimu!” Wakemelela kwa kupfuka.
27Lekeni bahala Yesu kawalongela, “Mwinyamale! Na nene. Mleke kupfuka!”
28Petiri kamwidika, “Imtwatsa, ka ghweghwe, unongele nitse kuna ghweghwe kwa kughenda mchanya mwe ghamatsi.”
29Kuya Yesu kamlongela, “Haya utse!” Petiri kahulumka mne ghumnumbwi, kaghenda mchanya mwe ghamatsi kumghendela Yesu.
30Lekeni hayonile inyahemu, kapfuka kandusa kutsama, kalila, “Imtwatsa, nikombole.”
31Bahala Yesu kagholosa ghumoko ghwake kamkinda. Kamlongela, “Ghweghwe yutoghola chidogho, ebali upfuka?”
32Nawo hawadinile mne mnumbwi, inyahemu nayo inyamala.
33Na awala iwakalile mne ghumnumbwi, wamtamanila, walonga, “Ghweghwe kwa Imwana we Imulungu ghendo.”
