Waari wakathi wa mwiita,
Yeruzaleemu laariwo njampo la winkhelela.
Yinsa aari ovira Nlivenu la Seleyimaana wa Nyuupa Yoosifwiwamo.
Aphano mayaahuuti khunzukulela khusala amuuzela yoori:
“Onnilikhela mishikili mpakha lini?
Onuuze saana nkhama weeyo o Al-Masiihu?”
Yinsa khuwaajipu yoori:
“Miiyo kawuuzani,
ila mweeyo khuhikhupali.
Khaazi kinkholaazo miiyo khwa nzina la Paapa enhakikhi monkoni wa miiyo.
Ila mweeyo khamwinkhupalela maana khayi mwa pwittipwitthi zaka.
Pwittipwitthi zaka ensiila huula yaka na miiyo kinjuwa na zinikilotta.
Miiyo kininkha ohaayi wa mileele;
wala khazimpwetheya na khaavo anttelaaye olazamo mmakhono mwaka.
Paapa otu akinkhiyeeyo epi,
nwulweene zayita vitthu zooshi,
na mmakhono wa Paapa khina anwahaaye olazamo.
Miiyo na Paapa na amote.”
Mayaahuuti khuthuula mawe opheya yoori anvonye,
Yinsa khuwooza yoori:
“Miiyo karetta vakatthi venu vitthu zawaatta zooshapweya Paapa akirumiyeezo oretta,
khwa zooshi ti tiivi mwintakhelaaye okivonyela?”
Mayaahuuti khunjipu Yinsa yoori:
“Khahiyo mwaasa wa khaazi zooshapweya ninttelaaye wuupwechela,
mwaasa wa okufuru,
maana weeyo o pinaatamu,
ila onjiretta wiiya Nluku.”
Yinsa khuwooza yoori:
“Yaatikhiwa nkano mweenu na ‘Miiyo khulupa yoori:
Mweeyo mwa miluku!’
Nkhama ye awaatthaja o miluku apale liwaateliyeeyo nttakhuzi la Nluku,
na Zawaatikhiwa Ttakatthiifu khazinfujiwa,
aphano otule Paapa anttakatthisiyeeyo na khunruma voolumwenku,
mwinri:
‘Weeyo onamakufuru,’
mwaasa wa niini kilupaka yoori ‘Ki mwaana wa Nluku?’
Amana kihikholi khaazi ya paapa,
mwihikikhupalele.
Ila nkhama kinretta,
hatha nkhama khamwinkikhupali miiyo,
mwikhupalele khaazi ethiito,
yoori mwiwahi ojuwa na oweeleyani yoori Paapa ori vamote na miiyo na miiyo kiri wa paapa.”
Khusala atakha onkhola theenya,
ila Yinsa khusuruwamo mmakhono mwaya.
Aphano Yinsa khulokha opheya muuttho Yorotaani khulawa mpakha puuro etile Yaahaya aari owoosaawo atthu,
eettaka waazaru khaazi yawe.
Khwiikhala ottuukho.
Atthu awaatta khulawa mpakha aphale aariivo khusala alupa yoori:
“Yaahaya khaarettiye alama za minjuza,
ila zooshi epile aari olupaazo monkoni wa mwinyi otu zaari za haakhi.”
Attaaphale atthu awaatta khumkhupali Yinsa.
