1Kale awo omu kiseera ekyo, oKerode omufugi wʼeitwale lyʼe Galiraaya nʼawulira okufuma kwa Yesu. 2Nʼakoba abaweereryabe ati, “Omuntu oyo ateekwa okubba Yokaana oMubatizi niiye azuukiire, era nga niikyo ekigira ali nʼobwezye okukola ebyewunyo.”

3Ekyo kyabbairewo olwakubba oKerode yabbaire akwaite oYokaana nʼamusiba, nʼamwigalira omu mabbuusu, ngʼagenderera kusangaalya Kerodiya, omukali wa mugandawe oFiripo oguyabbaire abandwire.* 4Ekyo kyabbairewo olwakubba oYokaana yabbaire adeebere oKerode ati, “Amateeka tigaikirirya iwe okutwala oKerodiya okubba mukaliwo.”* 5Era newankubbaire oKerode yabbaire ataka okwita oYokaana, neye yabbaire atya aBayudaaya olwakubba ibo babbaire baikirirya bati oYokaana naabbi.

6Neye oku lunaku lwa kwewukiriryaku olubabyaliire oKerode, omwala wa Kerodiya nʼabina nʼasangaalya ino oKerode. 7Nʼolwekyo, omu kirayiro oKerode nʼasuubiza okuwa omwala oyo kyonakyona ekiyamusaba. 8Iye omwala nʼakolera ku malabuki omaaye ageyamuwaire, kale nʼakoba oKerode ati, “Ompe aanu mutwe gwa Yokaana oMubatizi nga baguteekere okwitiba.”

9Ekyo ni kiruma ino okabaka, neye olwakubba yabbaire alayiire, aate nga nʼabagenibe bawuliire, nʼalagira ni bamukolera ekiyasabire. 10Era okabaka nʼalagira ni baaba omu mabbuusu batemaku oYokaana omutwe. 11Era ni baguleetera okwitiba, ni baguwa omwala, era yena nʼagutwalira omaaye. 12Kale awo abeegi ba Yokaana ni baaba, ni batwala omulambogwe, ni baguliika kaisi ni baaba bakobera oYesu ebibbairewo.

13Awo oYesu oweyawuliire ati batemereku oYokaana omutwe, nʼazwa omu kifo ekyo nʼabeegibe, ni baniina omu lyato, ni baaba bonkani omu kifo ekinambulamu bantu. Neye ekiyindi kyʼabantu bʼomu bibuga ebyeruguuliriirye aawo owekyategeireku, ni kisenjaayo nʼebigere nga kibita oku mbale mbale kwʼenyanza. 14OYesu oweyatuukire oku lukalu, nʼabona ekiziima kyʼabantu kinene nga kiri awo, nʼakikwatira ekisa, nʼalamya ababbairemu abalwaire.

15Obwire owebwabbaire nga bwirugala, abeegi ni baaba egiri oYesu, ni bamukoba bati, “Ekifo kinu mpaamu bantu, aate nga nʼobwire buunu bwabire. Abantu obaseebule baabe beegulire ekyokulya omu byalo ebiriraine aanu.”

16OYesu nʼabairamu ati, “Tikibeetaagisya ibo okwaba, wazira niinywe omubbe mubawe ekyokulya balye.” 17Ibo ni bamwiramu bati, “Tulikuuwo aanu nʼemigaati mitaanu gyonkani, nʼenyanyi ibiri.”

18OYesu nʼakoba ati, “Mubindeetere aanu.” 19Era nʼalagira abantu okutyama ansi okwisubi, awo nʼatoola emigaati emitaanu, nʼenyanyi eibiri, kaisi nʼalingirira omwigulu, ni yeebalya oKibbumba. Awo nʼavunavunamu emigaati, nʼagiwa abeegibe ni bagigabira abantu. 20Era abantu bonabona baliire ni baikuta, era abeegibe ni bakumbaania ebitundutundu ebyafiikireku, ni baizulya ebiibo ikumi na bibiri. 21Obungi bwʼabantu abaliire, babbaire abasaiza ooti 5,000, nga tibabaliireku abakali nʼabaana.

22Awo ngʼebyo byankawa, oYesu nʼakoba abeegibe okuniina omu lyato beesooke baabenge oku lubba ludi olwʼenyanza, nga iye akaali aseebula abantu. 23Oweyamalire okuseebula abantu, nʼaniina oku lusozi yenkani okusaba oKibbumba. Endikiirya oweyakwatiire yabbaire akaali ali eeyo. 24Neye omu kiseera ekyo eryato abeegi eribabbairemu lyabbaire yala nʼoku lukalu, era amayengo gabbaire mangi nga gakubba eryato olwʼogumpunga ogwabbaire gufuwa nga gubazwera omu maiso.

25Obwire owebwabbaire bwatira okuca, oYesu nʼayaba egibabbaire ngʼatambula oku maizi. 26Neye ibo owebamuboine ngʼatambula oku maizi, ni batya ino, ni bakoba bati, “Kyewo!” Ni bakubba enduulu olwʼokutya.

27Neye amangu ago oYesu nʼabakoba ati, “Ninze! Timwatya, mwiremu omwoyo.”

28Awo oPeetero nʼamukoba ati, “Musengwa, ondagire ntambulire oku maizi nga njiza egyoli, owoobbanga dala niiwe.”

29OYesu nʼamukoba ati, “Oize.” Awo oPeetero nʼazwa omu lyato, nʼatambula oku maizi ngʼayaba egiri oYesu. 30Neye oPeetero oweyaboine amayengo olwʼogumpunga ogwʼamaani nʼatya. Awo nʼatandiika okweinika, kaisi nʼaceera ati, “Musengwa, ondamye!”

31Amangu ago oYesu nʼagolola engalo, nʼamukwata, nʼamukoba ati, “Lwaki obuusabuusire? Ngʼooli nʼokwikirirya kutono!” 32Kale awo owebaniinire omu lyato, ompunga nʼawaaku. 33Kaisi awo abeegi badi ababbaire omu lyato ni basinza oYesu nga bamukoba bati, “Dala, oli Mwana wa Kibbumba.”

34Awo owebasaliremu enyanza ni basomoka kudi, batuukiire mu kitundu kyʼe Genesareeti. 35Era abantu bʼomu kitundu ekyo owebamanyicirye oYesu, ni batumisya obukwenda omu bitundu ebyeruguuliriirye aawo byonabyona. Era abantu ni bamuleetera abalwaire baabwe bonabona, 36era ni bamwegairira aikirirye abalwaire nago bakwateku-bukwati oku mugo gwʼekizwalokye. Era bonabona abakikwaiteku, ni balama.
