1 Nahano anambwira: «Yabiira ikipahwa kihamu! Unakiyandike kwo, ku bweranyange: “Vwarukira iminyago! Kwabadukira iwa kushahula!”»
2 Yikyo kipahwa, nanakiyereka umugingi Huriya, na Zakariya mugala Yeberekiya. Yabo bombi, banakitangira kwoꞌbumasi.
3 Ha nyuma, nanamenyana na mukaanie. Haaho, anaheeka inda, anabuta umwana woꞌbutabana. Nahano anambwira: «Uyo mwana, umúyinike iziina “Vwarukira iminyago. Kwabadukira iwa kushahula!”
4 Mukuba, ikyanya agaaba atazi twisagya ukudeta igambo “daata”, kandi iri “maawe”, mwami weꞌHasuriya agaaba keera anyaga akanyamwala keꞌbindu mu kaaya keꞌDamasiki, na mu keꞌSamariya, anabitwale imwabo.»
5 Nahano anashubi mbwira kwokuno:
6 «Yabo Bayuda, kundu nâli batwaziri noꞌbutuudu nga bwaꞌmiiji goꞌlwiji lweꞌSilwamu, haliko batandwaziizi. Si keera banayoboha imbere lya mwami Resini, na mwami Peka mugala Remalya.
7 «Ku yukwo, mwami weꞌHasuriya, mu kubateera, agayija akundwiri ngoꞌlwiji Hefuraati, kwo luli mu sooka imbibi zaalwo.
8 Balya Bahasuriya, bagasavya mu kihugo kyeꞌBuyuda. Yulwo lwiji lugaduuga, halinde amiiji ganahike mwiꞌgosi. E Manweri, yabo basirikaani bagayajuula ibyubi nga nyunda, halinde banahike mu kihugo kyawe kyoshi!»
9 Mwe binyamahanga, kundu mugakizi banda akaluulu mwiꞌzibo,
10 Kundu mugakuumana mbu mugire igambi libi, haliko shoobe!
11 Nahano keera akangengula bweneene, kwo ndakizi yitoneesa ngaꞌbiitu, anambwira:
12 «Kundu abandi bakoli yobohiri igambi íryagirwa mu kahwehwe, mbu ligamùmala, halikago mwehe, mutakizi liyoboha.
13 Si Nahano naaho, ye mukwiriiri ukukizi yoboha, iri munamúyikumba. Mukuba, ye Nahano woꞌbushobozi bwoshi, anali ye Mutaluule bweneene.
14 Yenyene, agakizi mùlanga.
15 Kwokwo, abandu bingi bagakizi siitara ku Nahano, banayideedeke haashi, banayami vunguka. Yugwo mutego, ikyanya gugabagwata, batagaki yinamuka.»
16 Ngiisi byo Nahano agweti agayigiriza, mubiyandike,
17 Ngi lindiriiri Nahamwitu, halinde atutabaale.
18 Ndi hano, twe naꞌbaana bo Nahano akambeereza. Twehe, tulyagagi tulangikizo twa Nahano woꞌBushobozi bwoshi, anali ye bwatiiri ku mugazi Sayuni. Ee! Twe tuli mu kukizi kengula Abahisiraheeri.
19 Hali ikyanya abandu bagamùbwira, ti: «Mugire tugendi laguza. Irya mizimu igatuganuuza mu kahwehwe, inatumenyeese ngiisi byo tugaagira!»
20 Mwehe, mukwaniini mukizi kulikira amigirizo ga Nahano, iri munasimbaha ikihango kyo mukanywana kuguma. Si abalaguza neꞌmizimu, byohe, bitali mu deta amagambo gaage! Si amagambo gaabo, gali nga ndaago!
21 Abandu bagakizi jeba-jeba mu kihugo, bakoli jengiirwi, banakoli shalisiri. Kinatume bagakizi konolera amasu mwiꞌgulu ku buraakari, banakizi daaka umwami wabo, kiri na Rurema wabo yenyene.
22 Ngiisi ho bagakizi lola, bagalonga naaho ubuhanya, neꞌkihulu, naꞌmakuba mingi-mingi. Na ha nyuma, boonyene banalashwe mu kihulu kya namudidi.
23 Yikyo kihulu kya namudidi, kitagagenderera. Yaho keera, abandu ba mu kihugo kyoshi kya Zabulooni neꞌkya Nafutaali, Nahano akabateeza ishoni. Haliko mu siku ízigayija, agaki bagingika. Ee! Yibyo bihugo byeꞌGalilaaya, biri byaꞌbandu beꞌgindi milala. Bilyokiiri ku njira íri mu genda iwa nyaaja Mediterane, halinde ukuhisa i kajabo koꞌlwiji Yorodaani.
