5 Choncho anthu ochokera ku Yerusalemu ndi ku Yudeya konse ndiponso ochokera m’midzi yonse yapafupi ndi Yorodano anali kubwera kwa iye.

5 Komabe, ngakhale kuti Herode ankafuna kupha Yohane, anaopa khamu la anthu, chifukwa iwo anali kukhulupirira kuti ndi mneneri.+

26 Komanso sitinganene kuti, ‘Unachokera kwa anthu,’ chifukwa tikuopa khamu la anthuli,+ pakuti onsewa amakhulupirira kuti Yohane anali mneneri.”+

20 Herode anali kulemekeza+ Yohane, pakuti anali kumudziwa kuti ndi munthu wolungama ndi woyera,+ choncho anali kumusunga bwino. Atamva+ zonena zake anathedwa nzeru, komabe anapitiriza kumumvetsera mokondwa.

6 Koma tikanena kuti, ‘Unachokera kwa anthu,’ anthu onsewa atiponya miyala,+ chifukwa iwo akukhulupirira ndi mtima wonse kuti Yohane+ anali mneneri.”+
