1 Umalhawaya yayo, Yesu aari munkwahani alhukamaka Ugalilaya, khaathananne weetakacha ilhapo yo Uyudea ukhalhawaya aholhelhi Ayahudi yaari athananaka umwiiva. 2 Nihuku no Isikuukuu ya Ayahudi yo Marapatta naari ninaatamenrie, 3 Yesu nkeerelhiya ni ashihima awe wiira, “Nthameke vaa nrweeke Uyudea, owiittucha inyu yooneke mitheko chinyu. 4 Ntu khanovitha chinopanga awe akhalhaka wiira nothanana uchuwania mwaattuni. Ukhalhawaya nnopanga cho ushangiha, mpangeke etu ilhapo yonkhaye ichuwelheke!” 5 Ata ashihima awe khayanrumelhenlhe.

6 Yesu nkeera, “Ikatema aka kinaphiya. Nansho mwaattiva va kila ikatema inouphwanelhani. 7 Ilhapo khiinooria uuvengani mwaattiva, nansho miyaano inookivenga ukhalhawaya mii kinohimiechesha wiira mitheko chaya chiri cho uhilhoka. 8 Mwaattiva nrweeke etu u sikuukuuni uwo. Miyaano khakinorwaa, ukhalhawaya ikatema aka yo ulhoka khinaphiya.” 9 Nkoolhumacha yayo malhove ayo, nkaahalha Ugalilaya.

10 Ashihima awe yamalheke urwaa u sikuukuuni, Yesu ni uyo nkaarwa, nansho khaarweelhe wo wiichooniha, aarweelhe wo wiivitha. 11 Aholhelhi Ayahudi yaari amwaaviaka va sikuukuuni vawo, nkayaakoha, “Ri vayi?”

12 Malhove menchi o waapiya nkayeewiya mwaattuni. Attu akina nkayeera, “Ntu orera nrima.” Akina nkayeera, “Mena! Nowiiraka waathwelhelhiha attu.” 13 Nansho khaawo ntu aalhikanche wulhumacha mwaha wawe voonene wo woova aholhelhi Ayahudi.

14 Isikuukuu yaari inaphiyenlhe variyari, Yesu vaarwelhe awe u Inupa ya Nlhuku ni uchokholha weettuchiha attu. 15 Aholhelhi Ayahudi nkayaashanga chinene ni wiira, “Ulha ntu ulha pantte vayi irusho ni uyo khanashoma?”

16 Yesu nkaakhulha, “Meettuchiho kineettuchiha aka kahiwe awaka, nansho awawe Nlhuku kirumme. 17 Ntu nopanga chinothanana awe Nlhuku, noochuwelha wiira meettuchiho aka akhumme wa Nlhuku, ama miyaano kinoolhumacha wo ikuru aka kimwanene. 18 Ntu noolhumacha wo ikuru awe mwanene naavia nthimicho wawe mwanene. Nansho naavia nthimicho wa ntu nrumme, yoyo ri o ikekhiaye, hinanaraka variwoothe. 19 Chani, ashinna Musa khayovanheni Malhehero? Nansho khaawo hata mmoka inyu novara Malhehero. Nlhatu waani nnothanana ukiiva?”

20 Attu nkayaamwaakhulha, “Nrii ni nshoka no unanara inyu ayi! Apani anothanana uwiivani?”

21 Yesu nkaakhulha, “Kahopanga yo ushangiha imoka, ni inyu onkhaye nkamwaashanga. 22 Ashinna Musa yaholheherani weenelha achishaana inyu, inakhalhaka wiira ashinna Musa kahena aachokhonlhe, nansho manyaapwiiya inyu phi achokhonlhe. Alha mahuku, mwaattiva nnoomwinelha unyawo mwanhima nlhopwana hata Nihuku no Wiittuwa. 23 Yakhalhaka etu mwanhima nowiinelhiya unyawo hata Nihuku no Wiittuwa wiira Malhehero a ashinna Musa ihiwonyiye, woonaka nnokithunalhelha wo nlhatu no nlhamiha ntu Nihuku no Wiittuwa? 24 Nhihukumulhe chittu wo vathe, nhukumulheke we ikekhiaye.”

25 Attu akina o Uyerusalemu nkayeera, “Chani, ntu naaviya wiira eeviye ulhe kahena ulha? 26 Mwooneke vano! Noolhumacha voonene, mena khaawo ntu nonvaanyiha! Chani, inowooria aholhelhi ahochuwelha ikeekhene wiira ulha phi Kuristo? 27 Nansho Kuristo vanohalha awe uwa khaawo ntu nottuna uchuwelha vakittu vanowa awe ukhumelhelha. Nansho hiyaano nihochuwelha ukhumelhenlhe awe ulha ntu ulha!”

28 Yesu vaari awe eettuchihaka u Inupa ya Nlhuku nkaakhuwelha eeraka, “Eti nnera wiira nnookichuwelha, ni uchuwelha ukhumme aka? Mii khakiwilhe wo ikuru aka kimwanene. Yayo akirumme miyaano ayo, phi o ikekhiaye. Mwaattiva khannaachuwelha, 29 nansho miyaano kinowaachuwelha ukhalhawaya kikhumme uwannyaya, ni ayo phi kirumme.”

30 Attu nkayaalhikacha ummara ni unttuka, nansho khaawo ntu okonlhe moono ummara ukhalhawaya isaa awe yaari ihinaphiya. 31 Attu enchi munlhokoni mwa attu alhe yahonrumelhelha, nkayeera, “Chani, Kuristo awaaka noowa aapanga cho ushangiha chulhupalhe chinene uthepa chipangilhe awe ulha?”

32 Amafarisayo nkayeewa attu yaapaka mwaha wa Yesu. Paahi amafarisayo vamoka ni opochera ishaani olhupalhe nkayaaruma manyaasikari ammare Yesu. 33 Yesu nkeera, “Kinoolhokelha ni inyu wo mahuku vakani, yamalhaka kinoorwaa wo ayo akirumme. 34 Nnookavia nansho khannokoona, ukhalhawaya mwaattiva khannooria uphiya wowo.”

35 Aholhelhi Ayahudi nkayeerelhana ashineneru, “Ulha ntu ulha naarweeke vayi vahinooria ihu umpatta? Naarweeke wa Ayahudi awanenlhe ilhapo ya Ayunani, ni weettuchiha Ayunani? 36 Iri ni maana ani vaneera awe, ‘Nnookaavia nansho khannokipatta, vanottuna aka ukhalha mwaattiva khannooria uphiya?’ ”

37 Nihuku noomalhelha yeyo isikuukuu iyo naari nihuku no yekha aya, Yesu nkeemelha ni wulhumacha wo nlhove nulhupalhe eeraka, “Ntu nowolhiya nttona aweeke uwannyaka, 38 ntu nokirumelhelha nowa aawuria. Thoko Malhove Matakatifu chinohimia aya, ‘Ntu nokirumelhelha mii, marapo o maashi anowiiha ukumi anothekhuma munrimani mwawe!’ ” 39 Yesu olhumanche chiicho amwaachaka Iphumu ya Nlhuku, nottuna aya umpochera alhe attu anrumelhenlhe ayo. Yeyo ikatema iyo Iphumu ya Nlhuku aari hinawa ukhalhawaya Yesu aari hinaya upochera nthimicho wawe.

40 Attu akina mwaattuni mmo nkayaamwiwa olhumachaka yayo malhove ayo, nkayeera, “Wo ikekhiaye ulha ntu ulha phi Namilhohi!”

41 Akina aya nkayeera, “Ulha phi Kuristo Moopolhi!”

Nansho akina tho nkayeera, “Kuristo Moopolhi khaanooria ukhuma Ugalilaya! 42 Malhove Matakatifu aneera wiira, Kuristo naakhumeke iyari ya Amwene Adaudi, ni uyaria Ubethelehemu, iwani yaakhalha aya Adaudi!” 43 Paahi mwaha wa Yesu nkawaamwalhaaniha attu. 44 Attu akina athananaka unttuka, nansho khaawo ammanre.

45 Manyaasikari yahokolhieke, nkayaakohiya ni opochera ishaani olhupalhe ni Amafarisayo, “Chani woonaka khannammanra ni ummwiiha?”

46 Manyaasikari nkayaakhulha, “Khaawo ntu o wooria wulhumacha thoko chinoolhumacha awe ulha ntu ulha!”

47 Amafarisayo nkayaakoha, “Chani, ni inyu mwaatti chiicho nhothepiya? 48 Chani ahawo anakhalhaka mmoka a aholhelhi a attu, ama mmoka a Amafarisayo anrumelhenlhe? 49 Ulha nlhoko ulha khuchuwenlhe Malhehero a ashinna Musa, paahi etu uholhaviya ni Nlhuku!”

50 Mmoka a Amafarisayo aari Nanikodemo yanrweenlhe Yesu mahuku avinre alhe. Paahi, yayo nkayeerelha akhunanaya wiira, 51 “Wo ulhikaana ni Malhehero ihu khaninooria unhukumulha ntu nihinaaya umwiiwelhelha ni uchuwelha ttenkeni.”

52 Ni ayo nkayaamwakhulha, “Chani ni inyuva chiicho nnokhuma Ugalilaya? Nrweeke mwashomeke Malhove Matakatifu etu ni inyu nnokooshoma wiira, khaawo namilhohi nohalha ukhuma Ugalilaya.” 53 Paahi attu onkhaye nkayaahokolhiacha mmawannyaya.
