1 Mne ghamatsuwa agho, mndewa Herodi tsakahulika mbuli tsa Yesu. 2 Apfo kawalongela iwatumwa wake, “Imunu yuno iyo Yohane Mbatitsa, katsilihuka. Apfo ingupfu ye pfinzonza yosang'ana mghati mwake.”

3 Kwaapfila Herodi tsakamghogha Yohane, kamowa na kumwika mchifungo, kwaajili ya Herodiya, mwehe wa Filipi, ndughu yake, 4 kwaapfila Yohane tsakamlongela Herodi, “Ng'apfinoghile bae ghweghwe kumkwela Herodiya!” 5 Herodi tsakabama kumkoma Yohane, lekeni tsakapfuka iwanu, kwaapfila tsawamwona ka nabii.

6 Mne chihungo cha ukwelekighwa kwa Herodi, neghe Herodiya tsakabigha hambele he iwanu, Herodi tsakanoghelesighwa, 7 mbaka kamlongela, “Nelaha nitsokwing'a chochose choubama!”

8 Kwa kuwinza ghamalaghitso gha mai wake mwana ayo kalonga. “Ungaye bahano litwi lya Yohane Mbatitsa mlungo.” 9 Imndewa Herodi tsakona usungu sideke, lekeni kwaapfila tsakelaha hambele he iwahenza wake, kalaghitsa yeng'ighwe. 10 Apfo Herodi kamtuma imunu yamghane litwi Yohane akula mchifungo. 11 Litwi lyake lighalighwa likighwa mlungo, keng'ighwa imwana ayo, naye kamghalila mai wake. 12 Iwanang'ina wa Yohane tsawaghenda walusola lukuli lwake, walutsika, kuya wamlongela Yesu.

13 Yesu hayahulike achila ichilawile, koka hanu aho kwa ghumnumbwi kaghenda hanu halihela iwanu. Na ghumtingano ghwe iwanu hawahulike, wamuwinza kwa ghamaghulu kulawa mne isi tsawo. 14 Yesu hayahulumke mne mnumbwi, kawona ghumtingano mkulu ghwe iwanu, kawonela libatsi, kawahonetsa iwatamu wawo.

15 Nemihe haipfikile, iwanang'ina wake wamghendela, wamlongela, “Hanu hano hose nyika, na litsua liswa, uwaleke iwanu woke waghende mne ipfijiji wakeghulile ipfijo.” 16 Yesu kawedika, “Ng'awobamighwa bae woke, mwemwe muwenyegho muweng'e ichijo.”

17 Wamwidika, “Tuna pfighate pfitano pfiliyeka ne iwasomba weli.”

18 Yesu kawalongela, “Ngalileni hano.” 19 Kawalongela iwanu wakale hasi mne imitsani. Kasola pfighate pfila pfitano ne iwasomba weli, kalola kulanga, kapfibaliki kapfibena pfighate pfila. Kuya kaweng'a iwanang'ina wake, nawo waweng'a iwanu. 20 Iwanu wose waja, weghuta. Na iwanang'ina wake wadondola pfighate ipfisighale, wamemesa pfiseghe kumi na pfili. 21 Iwamale iwajile tsawang'ali wopfika elufu tano, iwapinga ne iwana ng'awapetighwe bae.

22 Yesu hayang'ali yowaagha iwanu, kawalongela iwanang'ina wake wadine mne mnumbwi wamlongole kuloka kumwambu. 23 Hayamalitse kuwaagha iwanu, kagheluka mchidunda kulomba. Nemihe haipfikile, kakala ako yaliyeka, 24 na mnumbwi tsa ghwa kutali na kumwani ghwotowighwa na ghamawimbi, kwaapfila inyahemu tsaikala yoghukunughitsa.

25 Habehi na ukucha, Yesu kawaghendela, aku koghenda mchanya mwe ghamatsi. 26 Iwanang'ina wake hawamwonile koghenda mchanya mwe ghamatsi, tsawapfuka. Walonga, “Ghumtsimu!” Wakemelela kwa kupfuka.

27 Lekeni bahala Yesu kawalongela, “Mwinyamale! Na nene. Mleke kupfuka!”

28 Petiri kamwidika, “Imtwatsa, ka ghweghwe, unongele nitse kuna ghweghwe kwa kughenda mchanya mwe ghamatsi.” 29 Kuya Yesu kamlongela, “Haya utse!”

Petiri kahulumka mne ghumnumbwi, kaghenda mchanya mwe ghamatsi kumghendela Yesu. 30 Lekeni hayonile inyahemu, kapfuka kandusa kutsama, kalila, “Imtwatsa, nikombole.”

31 Bahala Yesu kagholosa ghumoko ghwake kamkinda. Kamlongela, “Ghweghwe yutoghola chidogho, ebali upfuka?”

32 Nawo hawadinile mne mnumbwi, inyahemu nayo inyamala. 33 Na awala iwakalile mne ghumnumbwi, wamtamanila, walonga, “Ghweghwe kwa Imwana we Imulungu ghendo.”

34 Hawalokile tsimbu na kupfika isi ya Genesareti. 35 Na iwanu iwali mne isi ila hawamtangile Yesu, watsenetsa mbuli tsake mne isi tsose, apfo wamuhilikila iwatamu wawo wose. 36 Wamlomba yawalekele iwatamu wakinde mindo ye lighwanda lyake. Na wose iwalikindile tsawahona.
