1Phahi Jesu na anafundzie avuka Ziya ra Galilaya achifika tsi ya Agerasi.* 2Ariphotuluka dauni tu, Jesu wakutana na mutu yekala na pepho, ambaye kala ala vikurani. 3Mutu hiyu kala achiishi vikurani, wala takuna yeyesi ariyeweza kumfunga hata na silisili. 4Mana kano nyinji kala achifungbwa mikono na magulu, ela chila wakati anadusula zira silisili. Phahi, kpwa sababu ya mkpwotsewe, takuna yeyesi ariyeweza kumdinisa. 5Usiku na mutsi mutu hiyu kala achinyendeka ko vikurani na gambani kuno anakota kululu na kudzikata-kata na mawe. 6Ariphomuona Jesu aredza kpwa kure, wazola achendamgbwerera maguluni. 7Chisha pepho ariyekala ndani ya yuya mutu wakota kululu achiamba, “Jesu, Mwana wa Mlungu Ariye Dzulu Zaidi, unamini? Lapha kukala kundanigayisa!” 8Ye pepho wagomba vivi kpwa kukala Jesu kala akaamba, “Pepho mui we, mtuluke hiyu mutu!” 9Alafu Jesu achimuuza, “Uihwadze?” Naye achiamba, “Naihwa Jeshi, mana hu anji!” 10Achimʼbembeleza sana Jesu asiazole tsi hiyo.

11Sambi kala kuna chaa cha nguluwe anji chinarisa kanda-kanda ya gamba. 12Hara pepho achimvoya Jesu achimuamba, “Hulagize hukainjire hara nguluwe.” 13Jesu achikubali, na pepho achituluka yuya mutu, achendainjira hara nguluwe. Chaa chosi cha nguluwe elufu mbiri, chatserera mairo mteremukoni, chichiinjira ziyani, na nguluwe osi achihoha. 14Arisa ariphoona vira, azola achendaambira atu hiko mudzini na mindani gara gachigohendeka. Na atu anji akpwedzalola gokala gakahendeka, 15akpwedza phara ariphokala Jesu, na achimuona yuya mutu yekala akatuluzwa kundi ra pepho asegere akavwala nguwo na ana achilize, nao achitishirwa. 16Hara ambao kala akaona vyo vyokala vikahendeka asemurira ayawao, achiambira atu vira vyokala kpwa ye mutu, na gara goaphaha hara nguluwe. 17Ndipho atu a jimbo riro achiandza kumvoya Jesu auke tsi yao.

18Jesu ariphokala anainjira dauni, yuya mutu ambaye kala akatuluzwa pepho wamvoya ruhusa aphiye naye. 19Ela Jesu achikahala, achimuamba, “Phiya kaya na ukaasemurire asenao mambo gosi Mlungu achigokuhendera na vira achivyokuonera mbazi.” 20Phahi yuya mutu wanyendeka kuko jimbo ra Midzi Kumi achendatangaza arigohenderwa ni Jesu, na osi ariogasikira achiangalala.

21Jesu ariphola tsi ya Agerasi, wavuka tsona na dau hadi ngʼambo ya phiri ya ziya. Waima kanda-kanda ya ziya, na kundi kulu ra atu richedza richimzunguluka. 22Alafu mutu mmwenga aihwaye Jairo, yekala mmwenga wa akulu a masinagogi wakpwedza phapho. Ariphomuona Jesu, wamgbwerera maguluni, 23achimvoya achiamba, “Mwanangu mchetu anafwa. Tafadhali huphiye ukamʼbandikire mkpwono, ili aphole na akale moyo.” 24Hipho Jesu achiuka naye, na atu anji achimlunga hata achikala anamfyeha.

25Mo kundini, kala muna mchetu mmwenga, ariyekala mkpwongo wa mruwo† kpwa miaka kumi na miiri. 26Mchetu hiyu kala akagaya sana. Wamala aganga, na kuhumira malize zosi, ela badala ya kuhenda baha, ukongo wazidi. 27-28Ariphosikira habari za Jesu, waaza mwakpwe moyoni, “Nchiguta yo nguwoye tu, nindaphola.” Ndipho wamlunga Jesu ko nyuma mo kundini, achiguta nguwoye. 29Ariphoiguta tu, mruwo uchituma na achidzisikira akaphola.

30Phapho hipho Jesu achimanya kala nguvuze zikaphoza mutu, achigalukira rira kundi ra atu achiauza, “Ni ani chiyeguta nguwo yangu?” 31Anafundzie achimuamba, “Uwe unaona atu akakuzunguluka, tsona unauza, ‘Ni ani chiyeniguta?’ ” 32Ela Jesu achienderera kuendza ili amanye ni ani achiyeguta nguwoye. 33Hipho yuya mchetu, kpwa vira kala akamanya chigomphaha, wakpwedzamgbwerera maguluni kuno anakakama kpwa wuoga, achisemurira chila chitu. 34Jesu achimuamba, “Mayo, kpwa sababu ya kunikuluphira ukaphola. Phiya salama mana kundagaya tsona.”

35Ariphokala acheregomba gaga, kpwakpwedza atu kula kaya ya yuya chilongozi, achiamba Jairo, “Pore, ela ye mwanao msichana akafwa, kpwa hivyo takuna haja ya kumyuga mwalimu tsona.” 36Ela Jesu kayagatiya nazi gara gobishwa ni hara atu, ela achimuamba Jairo, “Gasikuondose higo, kuluphira tu.” 37Phahi Jesu kayaruhusu mutu yeyesi kumlunga isiphokala Petero, Jakobo na mwanáo Johana.

38Ariphofika kaya pha yuya chilongozi wa sinagogi, Jesu wakuta atu anapiga kululu na kurira. 39Wainjira ndani achiaambira hara atu, “Mbona munarira na kusononeka? Hiyu mwanache kafwere, ela arere tu!” 40Atu achimtseka, ela ye achiatuluza kondze osi. Chisha achihala ise na nine a yuya mwanache na hara ariokala naye, achiinjira chumbani mokala akalazwa. 41Jesu achimgbwira mkpwono achigomba chikpwao achiamba, “Talitha koum.” Manage ni, “Msichana, nakuamba lamuka.” 42Phapho hipho yuya mwanache waunuka. Achiandza kunyendeka, na atu ariphomuona aangalala sana. Naye kala ni msichana wa miaka kumi na miiri. 43Hipho, Jesu waakahaza asimuambire mutu yeyesi dzambo hiro. Chisha achilagiza yuya mwanache ahewe chakurya.
