2 lakini ukweli Yesu hambatize munhu yoyose ila wanahina zake wao wabatize.
3 Yesu viyahulike avo, kasegela mwiisi ya Yudea na kubwela mwiisi ya Galilaya.
4 Mmwanza wake kalondeka yabitile Samalia.
5 Kavika mwiisi ya Samalia kudibuga da Sikali, behi na mgunda wa Yakobo uyamgwelele mwanage yakemigwe Yusufu.
6 Hanhu aho kukala na sima da Yakobo. Yesu viyadonhile na mwanza mtali, kakala aho kudisima. Ikala imisi.
7 Mtwanzi wa kisamalia keza kudeha mazi. Yesu kamulongela, “Nigwelele mazi ning'we.”
8 Kipindi acho wanahina zake wakala wacholile kudibuga kugula chakuja.
9 Mtwanzi ayo kamwidika, “Gweye kwa Muyahudi na niye na Msamalia. Kodahaze kumhula mazi ga kung'wa?” Kwavija Wayahudi hawajaga hamoja na Wasamalia.
10 Yesu kamwidika, “Maza ujuwile choolava Mulungu, na maza ujuwile nani yokupula mazi ga kung'wa, wahampulile, nayo yahakugwelele mazi gogala ugima.”
11 Mtwanzi ayo kamulongela, “Go mkulu, gweye kuduhu doo, na sima dino dingila ng'hani. Wahagapatile kwahi mazi gago gogala ugima?
12 Vino gweye kwa mkulu kubanza tata yetu Yakobo yatugwelele sima dino? Heyo mwenyego hamoja na wanage na fugo yake yose wang'wa mazi ga mdisima dino!”
13 Yesu kamwidika, “Wanhu wose wong'wa mazi gano wokona ng'hilu kabili,
14 lakini munhu yoyose yong'wa mazi gonda nimgwelele, honda yaone ng'hilu kabili. Mazi gonda nimgwelele niye gokuwa nzasa ya mazi gogala ugima wa mazuwa gose mgati mmwake.”
15 Mtwanzi ayo kalonga, “Go mkulu, nigwee mazi gago muladi sekeniwe na ng'hilu kabili, na ndeke kwiza hano kudeha mazi.”
