Matewu 14:1-36
14 Enkarhini wolowo Heroda, mufumi wa muganga, a twa ndhuma ya Yesu+
2 kutani a ku eka malandza yakwe: “Loyi i Yohane Mukhuvuri. U pfuxiwile eka lava feke, hi yona mhaka leyi mintirho ya matimba yi tirhaka eka yena.”+
3 Hikuva Heroda u khome Yohane a n’wi boha a n’wi pfalela ekhotsweni hikwalaho ka Herodiya nsati wa Filipi makwavo.+
4 Hikuva Yohane a a hamba a n’wi byela a ku: “A swi pfumeleriwi leswaku u n’wi teka.”+
5 Hambiswiritano, nileswi a a lava ku n’wi dlaya, a a chava ntshungu, hikuva a wu n’wi teka a ri muprofeta.+
6 Kambe loko ku tlangeriwa siku ra ku velekiwa+ ka Heroda, n’wana wa Herodiya wa nhwanyana a ri cinela kutani a tsakisa Heroda swinene ngopfu
7 lerova a n’wi tshembisa hi xihlambanyo ku n’wi nyika xin’wana ni xin’wana lexi a nga ta xi kombela.+
8 Kutani yena, hi ku byeleteriwa hi mana wakwe, a ku: “Ndzi nyike nhloko ya Yohane Mukhuvuri+ yi ri enkambaneni.”
9 Hambileswi hosi a yi ri ni gome, hikwalaho ka ku xixima swihlambanyo swa yona ni hikwalaho ka lava vurhameke na yona yi lerisa leswaku va n’wi nyika yona;+
10 kutani yi humesa rito ra leswaku ku ya tsemiwa nhloko ya Yohane ekhotsweni.
11 Xisweswo nhloko ya yena yi tisiwa yi ri enkambaneni ivi yi nyikiwa nhwanyana loyi, kutani yena a yi yisa eka mana+ wakwe.
12 Eku heteleleni vadyondzisiwa vakwe va ta, va teka ntsumbu va wu lahla+ kutani va ya vikela Yesu.
13 Loko Yesu a twa sweswo, a suka kwalaho hi byatso a ya enhoveni leswaku a va swakwe;+ kambe mintshungu, loko yi swi twa, yi suka emitini hi milenge yi n’wi landzela.
14 Loko a xika, a vona ntshungu lowukulu; kutani a wu twela vusiwana,+ a hanyisa vavabyi+ exikarhi ka wona.
15 Kambe nimadyambu, vadyondzisiwa vakwe va ta eka yena va ku: “Laha hi le nhoveni naswona nkarhi wu fambile swinene; tlherisa mintshungu, leswaku yi ta ya eswimitanini yi ya tixavela swakudya.”+
16 Kambe, Yesu a ku eka vona: “A yi fanelanga yi famba: n’wina yi nyikeni swakudya.”+
17 Va ku eka yena: “A hi na nchumu laha loko ku nga ri swinkwa swa ntlhanu ni tinhlampfi+ timbirhi.”
18 A ku: “Swi tiseni eka mina.”
19 Endzhaku a lerisa mintshungu ku vurhama ebyanyini kutani a teka swinkwa swa ntlhanu ni tinhlampfi timbirhi, a languta ehenhla etilweni, a nkhensa,+ endzhaku ko phema swinkwa, a swi avela vadyondzisiwa vakwe, vadyondzisiwa na vona va avela mintshungu.+
20 Hi ndlela yoleyo hinkwavo va dya va xurha, kutani va hlengeleta swiphemu leswi saleke, ku tala swirhundzu swa 12.+
21 Hambiswiritano lava dyeke a ku ri vavanuna va kwalomu ka 5 000, ku nga hlayiwi vavasati ni vana+ lavatsongo.
22 Kutani, handle ko hlwela, a sindzisa vadyondzisiwa vakwe ku khandziya byatso va n’wi rhangela ku ya etlhelo lerin’wana, loko a ri karhi a tlherisa mintshungu.+
23 Eku heteleleni, loko a tlherise mintshungu, a tlhandlukela entshaveni a ri yexe a ya khongela.+ Hambileswi nkarhi a wu fambile, a a ri swakwe endhawini yoleyo.
24 Hi nkarhi lowu, byatso a byi ri ekule ni ribuwa hi timitara ta madzana yo tala, byi nonon’hweriwa hi magandlati,+ hikuva mheho a yi byi sivela.
25 Kambe hi nkarhi wa vumune wo rindza nivusiku a ta eka vona, a famba ehenhla ka lwandle.+
26 Loko va n’wi vona a famba ehenhla ka lwandle, vadyondzisiwa a va karhatekile, va ku: “I xihlola!”+ Kutani va huwelela hi ku chava.
27 Kambe xikan’we-kan’we Yesu a va byela marito lawa: “Tiyani mbilu, hi mina;+ mi nga chavi.”
28 Petro a n’wi angula a ku: “Hosi, loko ku ri wena, ndzi lerise ku ta eka wena ndzi ri ehenhla ka mati.”
29 A ku: “Tana!” Hi nkarhi wolowo Petro, a xika ebyatsweni,+ a famba ehenhla ka mati a ya eka Yesu.
30 Kambe loko a languta xidzedze, a sungula ku chava, kuteloko a sungula ku mbombomela, a huwelela a ku: “Hosi, ndzi ponise!”
31 Hi ku hatlisa Yesu a tshambuluta voko a n’wi khoma kutani a ku eka yena: “Wena wa ripfumelo leritsongo, ha yini u kanakana?”+
32 Naswona endzhaku ka loko va nghenile ebyatsweni, xidzedze xi hunguteka.
33 Kutani lava nga ebyatsweni va n’wi nkhinsamela, va ku: “Kunene u N’wana+ wa Xikwembu.”
34 Kutani va pela ivi va fika eribuweni eGenesareta.+
35 Loko vavanuna va ndhawu yoleyo va n’wi vona, va rhuma vanhu emugangeni wolowo hinkwawo, kutani vanhu va n’wi tisela hinkwavo lava a va vabya.+
36 Va kombela ku khumba dziva ra nguvu+ yakwe ya le handle loko swi koteka; naswona hinkwavo lava nga yi khumba va hanyisiwa hi ku helela.
