1 Navireke nihuku nimoka, nlhoko wa attu enchi akhwawe nkawaawa. Attu vaari aya awolhiyaka ithalha, Yesu nkeehanacha owiittucha awe ni weerelha, 2 “Kinowoonelha ikiriri attu alha, wiira ari ni hii wo mahuku mararu wo uhilhia. 3 Kaahiyaka wiira ahokolhie mmawannyaya wo uhilhia, anookomwaacha mphironi, ni akina ayo akhume utayi.”

4 Owiittucha awe nkayankoha, “Ninohalha upatta vayi yolhia yo uwanelha attu onkhaye alha ni va vanari vauthakoni?” 5 Yesu nkaakoha, “Nrina mikatte nchani?”

Nkayaamwakhulha wiira, “Chiri mikatte saba.”

6 Yesu nkaalhehera wiira attu akhalhihiye vathi. Nkaawiaa mikatte saba chilhe, nkanthimicha Nlhuku, nkaamianihacha, nkaavaha owiittucha awe avire aakawelhaka attu onkhaye. Ni ayo nkayaakhawelhacha. 7 Ni vavawo chahokhalha tho ihopa vakani. Yesu nkaakusha ni ulhapelhelha wa Nlhuku ni weerelha owiittucha awe avira aakawa ni chiyo. 8 Kila ntu nkaalhia nkaawona. Owiittucha nkayaakusha makaya saba ni uvira aakhupachaka mahalhahalha aahalhenlhe. 9 Attu yaalhilhie ayo yaari maelufu ncheshe. Paahi etu Yesu nkaalheha attu wiira athamache, ahokolhiacheke mmawannyaya. 10 wo uhipicha nkaawelha nkalhavani, nkaarwa ilhapo yo Damanuta vamoka ni owiittucha awe.

11 Amafarisayo nkayanrwelha Yesu ni uchokholha umwaakhulhana. Yaari athananaka unria wiira apange cho ushangiha chihimiecheshe ithikineha cho wiirimu. 12 Yesu nkaachukulha chinene munrimani, nkaahimia wiira, “Chani mwaatti o ilha iyari ilha woonaka nnochukulhelha woona cho ushangiha? Ikekhia kinouhimeriani wiira, khiiwo ithikineha inohalha woonia ni ilha iyari ilha!” 13 Nkaathama vavawo, ni uwelha tho nkalhavani, alhapuwelhaka ukhopelhelhe nttiya.

14 Owiittucha yaari analhiyanlhe ukusha mikatte, yaakunshe nkatte mmoka tu. 15 Yesu nkaamuka eeraka, “Nhiitialhe, mwiichinanelheke ni ihengedure ya Amafarisayo ni uhilhoka u Naherode.” 16 Owiittucha nkayaahalha akohanachaka ashineneru, “Ana neera chiicho wo nlhatu no uhikusha mikatte?” 17 Yesu nkaachuwelha munrimani ittu yaachukulhacha aya, nkaakoha, “Nlhatu wani woonaka nnowiithemwiha wo nlhatu no uhikusha mikatte? Khannaya uchuwelha? Mirima chinyu chiri chikani? 18 Woonaka miitho nhanaa nansho khannoona, nhanaa maaru nansho woonaka khanneewa? Khannoopuwelha 19 vaamelhe aka mikatte nthanu ni waalhiha attu maelufu nthanu? Mwaakushilhe makaya nchani yaachanre mahalhahalha o mikatte?”

Nkayaakhulha “Khumi ni melhi.”

20 Yesu nkaakoha tho, “Vaamelhe aka mikatte saba ni waavaha attu maelufu ncheshe valhe mwaarokottanche ni ukusha makaya nchani o mahalhahalha?”

Nkayaakhulha “Saba.”

21 Yesu nkeera, “Khannachuwelha mpaka nna?”

22 Yesu nkaaphiya Ubethsaida, wowo attu nkayammwiihera ntu ohoona ammare anlhamihe. 23 Yesu nkammara moono ntu ohoona uyo mpaka uchereshere iwani. Nkanshuwelha ishenye mmiithoni, nkaamweeshera miono ni unkoha, “Chani nnowona vano?”

24 Yoyo ntu uyo nkaaweha uchulhu, nkeera, “Eiyo, kinowoona attu, nansho anoonia thoko miri chineeta.”

25 Yesu nkaamweeshera miono tho vamiithoni. Ni uyo nkaaweha chinene, nkoona rata. 26 Yesu nkaamwirelha wiira ahokolhie uwani uno anchiichihaka wiira, “Nhihokolhelhe vawani.”

27 Yesu ni owiittucha awe nkayaarwaacha iwani chaatamana ni Ukaisariya Filipi. Mphironi nkaakohacha, “Nkakihimerieni mwaatti, attu aneera mii phi mpani?”

28 Nkayaamwaakhulha, “Akina aneera Nayohana Obatiiza, akina anowiihanani Naeliya, akina anowiihanani namilhohi nkina.”

29 Nkaakohacha ni ayo, “Aye, ni inyu mwaattiva nneera mii phi mpani?”

Napeturo phi aakhunlhe eeraka, “Inyuva phi Kuristo Moopolhi.”

30 Yesu nkaamuka wiira, ahinhimiachere ntu riyoothe yoyo mwaha uyo.

31 Yesu nkaachokholha weettuchiha owiittucha awe wiira, Ihokhalha lazima Mwaana a Ntu ahuvihachiye ni ukhotiya ni ashulhupalhe, o opochera ishaani olhupalhe ni owiittuchiha Malhehero a ashinna Musa. Nowa eeviya nansho nihuku no neraru nohihimmwa. 32 Yesu nkaahimiacha chechiyo mwaari. Napeturo nkayankusha Yesu vachereshere urwaa unchacherani. 33 Nansho Yesu nkaarukunuwa, ni waaweha owiittucha awe ni wachachera Napeturo eeraka, “Uthame vaa, uwe Nakare irusho chawo chinoopuwelha chittu cho mwiiruttuni va, wo uhupuwelha chittu chinommweha Nlhuku!”

34 Yamalhekeru, Yesu nkeehanacha nlhoko wa attu vamoka ni owiittucha awe ni weerelha wiira, “Yakhalhaka hawo ntu nothanana ukitwara, paahi eeruneke mwanene akusheke nsalaaba awe akittwareke. 35 Ukhalhawaya ntu neechopolha ukumi awe mwanene, yoyo nowiipoteriha, nansho nohiya ukumi awe wo nlhatu na angu mii ni wo Malhove Orera yoyo nowichoopolha. 36 Chani attu anopattani vanopatta aya mpuha wo mwiilhaponi, uno apoterihaka ukumi aya? Khiiwo! 37 Ama ntu nohalha ukumiha ittu yaani yo ulhikaanihiya, apatte tho ukumi? 38 Ntu o iyari yo uwonya ilha, oonaka ishoni ukihimiacha ni woonelha ishoni malhove kineetuchiha aka, Mwaana a Ntu nowa umoonelha ishoni vanottuna awe uwa wo nthimicho wa Athumwane ni minepa cho wiirimu chitakatifu.”
