Ikwi lyolyonti lye lɨtakwela amatunda aminza, atɨlɨtʉʉlɨle na kʉlɨsʉmba mʉ mwoto.”
10 Pe abhantʉ bhaala bhakhamʉbhʉzɨɨlɨzya bhakhatɨ, “Ishi tʉbhombe lyoni?” 11 UYookhani akhabhaamʉla akhatɨ, “We alɨ na makooti gabhɨlɨ, amʉpanje we atalɨ ni kooti, woope we alɨ ni shaakulya, amʉpanje we atalɨ ni shaakulya.” 12 Bhoope abhasonshezya nsonho* bhe bhínzile kʉtɨ bhoozelwe, bhakhamʉbhʉzɨɨlɨzya uYookhani bhakhatɨ, “Mumanyizyi, nɨɨtwe tʉbhombe lyoni?” 13 Akhabhabhʉʉzya akhatɨ, “Mʉleshe kʉsonshezya ɨnsonho kʉshɨla zye zibhishiilwe.” 14 Bhoope abhasikaali bhakhamʉbhʉzɨɨlɨzya bhakhatɨ, “Nɨɨtwe tʉbhombe lyoni?” Akhabhabhʉʉzya akhatɨ, “Mʉleshe kʉfwʉla ɨnhela zya bhantʉ, awe kwega ku wushevu ʉwa kʉkhopela, lyoli mʉkhobhokhaje na vwe mʉkʉposheela kʉ mbombo yiinyu.”
15 Akhabhalɨlo khanaakho abhantʉ bhakhasʉbhɨlaga kwɨnza kwa Kilisiti, pe bhakhasɨɨbhaga kʉtɨ pamu uYookhani we wu Kilisiti. 16 Pe uYookhani akhabhabhʉʉzya bhonti akhatɨ, “Ɨne ɨnkʉbhoozya ku minzi, ɨleelo akwɨnza umuntu we alɨ na makha kʉnshɨla ɨne, we ɨne ɨntakhondeeye poope kʉbha ne mubhombi ʉwa kʉsatʉla amakhobha gɨ ndaala zyakwe.† Wʉnʉʉyo we akhayɨbhoozya kwa Mupepu uMufinjile na kʉ mwoto. 17 Ʉweene akhayɨbhagabhʉlanya abhagolosu na bhabhomba mbiibhi, ngatɨ muntu we akʉkhoma na kʉpementa ɨngano pa shikhomelwi, akʉbhʉngaanɨkha ɨngano na kʉbhɨɨkha mʉ shanga, ɨleelo amampunyunzi akʉpembeelela nʉ mwoto we wutakuzima.”
18 Ku mazwi ganaago na ganjɨ aminji uYookhani akhabhasokhaga abhantʉ we akʉbhalʉmbɨɨlɨla iNtumi iNyinza. 19 Pɨlongolela, akhamʉkhajɨla ʉmwene uHeloodi, kʉnongwa ye ámwejile uHelodiya ʉmʉshɨ wa khambakʉ waakwe uFilipo, na ku mbiibhi inyinji zye ábhombile. 20 Pe uHeloodi akhonjezya uwubhiibhi, akhamʉkʉnga uYookhani mwɨ jeela.
