6 Yecho abhalobhalila nnandanikiho gwenio, nambo bhene bhakamanyite jhe chabhalobhalila.

7 Bhahe, Yecho ajhakwalobholela kabhele, “Ninnobholela chakaka, nenga ndi nnyango gwa kibhajha cha mambelele. 8 Bhando bhoha bhubhakalongalile bhakibha akamwihe na bhatenda kupoka, nambo mambelele ghakajhokanikiye ndeka. 9 Nenga ndi nnyango. Mundo jhojhoha jwajhingila kwa kupete kwa nenga naghombokoka. Najhingila na kupita, na kubhehe na undinde. 10 Mwihe uhika kujhibha, kukoma na kuhangabhana. Nambo nenga ikite kwatenda bhando bhabhehe na ughome gwa chakaka lombilombi.

11 “Nenga nnucha jwaumbone. Nnucha jwaumbone ubhoha ughome gwake kwa nhwalo gwa mambelele ghake. 12 Mundo jwalucha kwa kulepwa chi nnucha, hilu nkolo mambelele jhe. Palibhona limehe likahika, ughaleka mambelele na kutila. Peniya limehe ughakamula mambelele na kughapechengana. 13 Mundo jwenio natila nhwalo mundo jwenio jwa malepo naghahola jhe mambelele gheniya. 14 Nenga nnucha jwaumbone. Nighamanya mambelele ghango, na ghene ghamanya nenga, 15 ngita Tate chamanya nenga, na nenga nimanye Tate. Na nenga niubhoha ughome gwango kwa nhwalo gwa mambelele. 16 Ghabhii mambelele ghange gheniya ghabhii jhe mukibhajha chenje. Helahela nipala kwahaka na kwaleta kwa Chapanga. Helahela na bheniya nabhalijhoha lilobhe lyango, naghabhaha mungumbo ghumo na nnucha jhumo.

17 “Tate ambahile ndi nhwalo niubhoha ughome gwango na kabhele naniupokela. 18 Abhii jhe mundo nahotola kumboka ughome gwango. Nambo nenga niubhoha namwete kwa kupala kwango. Mi na uhotolo gwa kukibhoha kuwegha na ukindendeke gwa kubhehe na ughome kabhele. Ndi Tate gwango channaghalikiye ndende.”

19 Kwa nhwalo gwa malobhe gha Yecho ghajhakwatenda Akayahude bhapechengane kabhele. 20 Bhamahena bhajhakulonge, “Atehi kuchikilwa michuka na abhii na ngholoka! Nhwalo gwa nike kunyokanikiya?”

21 Nambo bhange bhajhakulonge, “Mundo jwabhii na nchuka ihoto jhe kulonge malobhe naha. Bho, nchuka uhoto kunnamicha mundo jwangalola?”

22 Kwenio ku Yeluchalemo kukibha na Unyagho gwa kuibheka Nyumba jha Bhambo palonge jha Chapanga, ukibha muda gwa malile. 23 Yecho akibha atyangita pa Nyumba jha Chapanga, pa Bwalo jha Chelemane. 24 Bhahe, Akayahude bhajhakuntindila na kunkonya, “Namutuleka changa umanya ade ligha? Anda mwe ndi Kilichitu Nkomboche, mutulobholele hotuhotu.”

25 Yecho ajhakwajhanguu, “Nikanobholile chakaka, nambo mangota minyekete jhe. Mahengo ghinihenga nenga kwa liina lya Tate gwango ghinangiya nenga ndi. 26 Nambo mangota minyekete jhe nhwalo mangota mambelele ghango jhe. 27 Mambelele ghango ulijhoha lilobhe lyango. Bhamanya na bhene ungengama nenga. 28 Nenga nipekeya ughome gwa machiko ghoha ghangapeta, na bhene nabhahwe jhe, amu abhii jhe mundo nahotola kumboka mu mabhoko ghango. 29 Tate gwango jwambekiye mambelele ghanga ndi nkolongwa kupeta bhoha, abhii jhe mundo jwahotola kumboka kubhoka mu mabhoko gha Tate gwango. 30 Nenga na Tate gwango, tubhii maghumba nde.”

31 Bhahe, Akayahude bhajhakulokota maghanga kabhele kupala bhankome Yecho, 32 nambo Yecho ajhakwalobholela, “Ninangiye mahengo ghamahele kuhumii kwa Tate. Bho, lihengo ghane lyambone lintenda ungome kwa maghanga?”

33 Akayahude bhajhakunnyanguu, “Tunkoma jhe kwa maghanga kwa nhwalo gwa mahengo ghambone, nambo kwa nhwalo gwa kunapanikiya Chapanga! Mwenga mwa mundo tugha, nambo mukilonge ma Chapanga.”

34 Yecho ajhakwajhanguu, “Ikajhandikwe jhe mu Lilaghalikilo lino, Chapanga akalongile, ‘Mangota ndi ichapanga.’ 35 Chapanga akaikemite ichapanga yela bhubhakamanye malobhe ghake, na twenga tumanya kubhehe Majhandiko gha Chapanga ghilonge chakaka machiko ghoha. 36 Ngoheno Tate gwango anhagwii na kunduma pannema pano. Nhwalo gwa nike milonge ninighite Chapanga, nhwalo nongile kubhehe nenga ndi Mwana gwa Chapanga? 37 Anda nihenga jhe mahengo gha Tate gwango, nkotoka kunnyeketela. 38 Nambo anda nihenga jhe mahengo ghake, na mwamela minyekete jhe, mughajheketele mahengo ghango, peniya nabangatuka chakaka anda Tate abhii nkate jhango, na nenga nkate jha Tate.”

39 Peniya bhajhakujhigha kumpyeneneka kabhele, nambo Yecho ajhakwanyelembuka mu mabhoko ghabhe na kwaleka.

40 Peniya Yecho ajhakujhomboka kabhele kwiye jha lukemba lwa ku Yolodane, kola Yohane kwabatichila bhando na kutama kwenio. 41 Bhando bhamahele bhajhakunyendelela Yecho na kunnobholela, “Yohane akatehi jhe nginyililo hilu jhimo, nambo ghoha ghalongila Yohane panane jha mundo jhonjo ndi chakaka chika.” 42 Bhando bhamahele bhubhakibha peniya bhajhakunnyeketela Yecho.
