1 Nikuemao, *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda yaira Yesu mu ekeewa okugia okugeezaniwua ne *Ekikeeno.[a] 2 Yasiwa okuria aa ataria ku amiire amakumi ane, owuire no omuwasu, kandi enzala katio yamurianga.[b] 3 Ekikeeno kiamuuzako kandi kimulaga otino, “No ori Omuzia owa Katonda, laga amawaale gano gagaluke gawe okuria.”

4 Yesu yakiirania otino, “Kujojrwe mu endagano mbwe: ‘Okuria kwengʼene ngakugera no omuntu awa omulamu, ni na amangʼana goona aga Katonda awoola.’[c] ”[d]

5 Nikuemao Ekikeeno kiamuira ku omugizi omweru ogwa Yerusaleemu, kimuemerezia asi aliire okukira ku enzizi eya *ekaalu. 6 Kiamulaga mbwe, “No ori Omuzia owa Katonda, guluka ansi, aeniki kujojerwe mu endagano mbwe: ‘Katonda aaza okusikirra *enyankoi waae wakurinde, kandi waaza okukuginga kungulu kugere otaguunya okugulu ku iwaale.’[e] ”

7 Yesu yakiirania otino, “Lwona kujojerwe mu endagano mbwe: ‘Otageezaania *Omwami Katonda waao.’[f] ”

8 Nikuemao, Ekikeeno kiaira Yesu ku ekigiri ekiliire ino, kimulaga ewialo ewia owuami wiona ewiri ku ekialo alala no owunyazi owurimo. 9 Kialaga Yesu mbwe, “Nyiza okuku-aa wino wiona, no onyifunamiire kandi ompe owunene.”

11 Nikuemao Ekikeeno kiamureka, kandi enyankoi waaza wamutunzia.

12 Olwa Yesu yawurra mbwe Yowaana Omubatiisi aingiziiwue mu owusiwe, yairana Galiili.[h] 13 Ngakamenya Nazareeti, ni yagia amenya Kapernaumu, omugizi ogwawanga ku ensanyaata eya omwalo, mu ewialo ewia Zebuluuni ni Naftaali.[i] 14 Okukola otio kwatuusia amangʼana aga Katonda yawoola ni kuwitra ku *Omugambi Isaaya mbwe: 15 “Ekialo ekia Zebuluuni alala ne ekia Naftaali, ewialo ewiri ku engira ewariire ku enyanza, elonda oluuzi olwa Yordaani, Galiili ekialo ekia awantu awatari *Awayaudi — 16 awantu awamenyere mu ekierema wawuine owueru owukaate; ee owueru wufumiire awantu awamenyere mu ekialo ekia ekiiruuzia ekia olumbe kisanikiire.”[j][k]

17 Okuemera ao, Yesu yatanika okulanzia amangʼana aga Katonda na awoola otino, “Mugaluke mureke amawi, aeniki *Owuami owua ku igulu wuri ampi.”[l]

18 Ni Yesu yagenda-gendanga ku ensanyaata eya omwalo ogwa Galiili, yawona awantu wawiri awaawanga awazia awa omuntu omulala, ni watega engoe ziawu mu enyanza, aeniki waawanga awavuwi. Omulala ku iwo yawanga Petro, no owundi yawanga Andereeya. 19 Yesu yawaeta na awalaga otino, “Muuze mundonde, ni nyiza okuwagerera okuvuwa awantu ni mundeetako.” 20 Waafuma wuangu-wuangu wareka engoe ziawu walonda Yesu.

21 Yagia emberi wutono, kandi awona Yakoobo ni Yowaana, woona awazia awa omuntu owaetwanga Zebeedi. Awazia wano waawanga mu owuato ni Zebeedi swawu, ni waganzulula engoe ziawu okugia okutega. Yesu yawaeta, 22 kandi ao-ao, waareka owuato wuawu ni swawu Zebeedi, wamulonda.[m]
