17 Phela Heroda a a rhume vanhu leswaku va ya khoma Yohane va n’wi pfalela ekhotsweni hikwalaho ka leswi Heroda a tekeke Herodiya nsati wa Filipi makwavo, a n’wi endla nsati wakwe.+ 18 Yohane a a tshamela ku byela Heroda a ku: “A swi pfumeleriwi leswaku u teka nsati wa makwenu.”+

19 Kambe hikwalaho ka leswi Heroda ndhuna ya muganga a tshinyiweke hi Yohane mayelana na Herodiya nsati wa makwavo ni hikwalaho ka swiendlo swo homboloka leswi a swi endleke, 20 Heroda u lo tlhela a endla mhaka yin’wana yo biha: A pfalela Yohane ekhotsweni.+
