Kawagala mchanyha kuna ulugongo waidumwe. 2 Uko Yesu kagaluka haulongozi hawo, ichihanga chake chiwa fana viya zuwa na viwalo vake viwa vizelu chwee fana bung'hulo. 3 Maabaho wanahina waja watatu wamuwona Musa na Eliya wolonga na Yesu. 4 Petili kamulongela Yesu, “Mndewa, vinoga cheye kukala hano! One uhalonda, nizazenga vizewe vitatu hano, chimwe chako weye na chimwe cha Musa na chimwe cha Eliya.”
5 Viyakalile yolonga yayo, wingu zelu diwagubika, dizi dilawa muna diwingu ijo dilonga, “Ino niiyo Mwanangu, nyachende wangu yonimulonda. Mumtegeleze yeye!”
6 Wanahina viwahulike dizi ijo, wadumba ng'hani, wagwa hasi chingubingubi. 7 Yesu kawezila, kawadalisa, kawalongela, “Inukeni, Sekemudumbe!” 8 Ivo wenuka na wabenzula yameso yawo, mbali hawamuwonile munhu imwenga ila Yesu yaidumwe.

10 Maabaho wanahina wake wamuuza, “Habali wafundiza Malagilizo wolonga Eliya kolondeka yanduse kwiza?”
11 Yesu kedika, “Kweli Eliya kokwandusa kwiza, nayo kezakwika goya chila chinhu. 12 Mbali nowalongela, Eliya keza kamala, mbali wanhu hawammanyile bule na wamtendela viwalondile wawo. Ivo ivo wezamgaza Mwana wa Munhu.”
13 Maabaho wanahina wavimanya kuwa kakala kolonga nawo mbuli za Yohana Mbatizi.
