Sang'hano 13:19-28

¹⁹Kazibananga isi saba mwiisi ya Kanaani na kawatenda wanhu zake wawe wenekae.

²⁰Gano gose gatendeka kwa miyaka magana mane na malongo matano. “Abaho kawagwaa wasemi wawalangulize mbaka kipindi cha mtula ndagu wa Mulungu Samweli.

²¹Baho wanhu walonda wawe na mndewa, Mulungu kawagwaa Sauli mwanage Kishi wa kabila da Benjamini, yawe mndewa wao kwa miyaka malongo mane.

²²Viyamsegeze Sauli, Mulungu kamtenda Daudi yawe mndewa wao. Vino vivo viyalongile Mulungu mbuli yake, ‘Nimona Daudi mwanage Yese ayo munhu younogeza moyo wangu, munhu yonda yatende gose gonilonda yatende.’

²³Mulukolo lwa Daudi mumo yalawile Yesu, Mulungu kamtenda yawe Mkombola wa wanhu wa Izilaeli kamba viyalongile.

²⁴Yesu yang'hali hana songa sang'hano yake, Yohana kawapetela wanhu wose wa Izilaeli waleke nzambi zao na wabatizigwe.

²⁵Yohana viyakalile behi na kuimambukiza sang'hano yake, kawauza wanhu, ‘Vino mweye mogesa niye iyo Mkombola? Niye sili ayo yumumbetela. Heyo kokwiza kukisogo changu, niye sifaya hata kudohola vilatu vake.’

²⁶“Ndugu zangu Waizilaeli, lukolo lwa Abulahamu, na wanhu wose hamuli Wayahudi muli hano mumgwaa ukulu Mulungu, usenga uno wa kukomboligwa ugaligwa kumwetu!

²⁷Kwavija wanhu wakalile Yelusalemu na wakulu zao hawajuwile Yesu iyo Mkombola, vivija hawazijuwile mbuli za watula ndagu wa Mulungu zisomigwe kila siku ya Kubwihila. Avo watenda mbuli zilongigwe na watula ndagu wa Mulungu zilawilile kwa kumtagusa Yesu yafe.

²⁸Hamoja hawapatile kilamuso cha kumkomela, wampula Pilato yamtaguse kufa.
