¹⁷Izinkani ni nzaa ni yang'wa Yesu aisambaie ku Yudea ihi niisali yihi niapakupii.

¹⁸Iamanyisigwa ang'wa Yohana aiamuie inkani izi yihi.

¹⁹Ingi Yohana akaitanga abili iamanyisigwa akwe nukuatuma kung'wa tata, kulunga uewe ng'wenso uyu nuzile, ang'wi ukole muntu mungiza kumulindile?

²⁰Naiapikile pakupi nu Yesu nianso ikalunga, Yohana mubadisigwa ukutumile kitalako kulunge. Uewe u ng'wenso nuzile ang'wi ukole muntu mungiza kumugezele?

²¹Imatungo yayo auagunile iantu idu, kupuma mdwala numulwago, kupuma mukolo nibii, niantu niakete upoku ikaona.

²²U Yesu akasukilya nukulunga kitalao, ingi naimulongoe naiapumie mukumulagilwa u Yohana ikinimukiine nukukija, awaniapoku akuona niakitele akugenda, niakite imbili akunona, iagulu ainija, iashi ahimbuka nukutula apanga hangi iahimbi akuilwa ulukani nuluza.

²³Umuntu nushukuleka kunihuila unene kunsoko auitumi wane ukukendepwa.”

²⁴Ao naiatumilwe nu Yohana kusuka naiapumie, Uu Yesu akandya kuligitya numilundo kunsoko ang'wa Yohana, aimendile kunzi kugoza ntuni, uwelu auukuhingisigwa nu ng'wega?

²⁵Azamendile kunzi kugoza ntuni, muntu nutugae izaane? Goza iantu niatugae inguo yakitemi nukikie ulikalo nuluza akole niang'wi akete ilyoma anga iatemi.

²⁶Ite minzu kunzi kugoza ntuni, muntu mnyakidagu? Ingi kulunga kitalanyu niidu itai kukila umnyakidagu.

²⁷Uyu yuyu nauandikiwe, “Goza, kumtuma mitumi wane ntongela a miho anyu, nukunonelya inzila kunsoko ane.

²⁸Nungile kitalanyu, kukiila ao naiatugilwe numusungu, kutile numukulu anga Yohana, ingi umuntu ishanga wati nuhumile kikie nu Itunda kung'wanso nukoli nuanso, ukutula mukulu kukila u Yohana.”

²⁹Ni antu ihi naiigulwe aya palung'wi niahoela mpia aiatanantilye Itunda ukete Itai. Aiakoli niang'wi naiabadisigwe nu ubadizo wang'wa Yohana.

³⁰Ingi imafarisayo nia zaa akani ya kiyahudi awa nishaaiabadisigwe nung'wenso aiahitile itai ang'wi Tunda kunsoko ao ienso.

³¹Hangi nihumile kumipyana ni ntuni antu nia uleli uwu? Akoli uli hangi?

³²Impyani niangenya, niakigisa mumpelo isoko, niikie nukuitanga ung'wi ung'wi nukulunga, kupembile ipilimbi kunsoko anyu, shanga miginsile kiaiye shanga muliile.

³³U Yohana mubadisi auzile shanga aulie hangi shanga aung'wee imagai, mikalunga ukite amitunga.

³⁴Ung'wa muntu uzile walya nukung'wa mikalunga, “Gozi mulaku mugala ntuli, muhumamuya wa ahoela mpia nia anyamilandu!

³⁵Ingi uhuili wigeleka kina ukite itai ku anaako ihi.”

³⁶Ung'wi wa mafarisayo aumulompile u Yesu alongole kulya palung'wi nung'wenso. U Yesu naiwingila munyumba ang'wa farisayo, akahegamila mumeza alye.

³⁷Goza aukoli musungu ung'wi mukisali nikanso naukete imilandu, Akalinga kumbi wikie kung'wa farisayo, akaleta insupa na makuta nimaza.

³⁸Aiwimikile kunyuma akwe kakupi ni migulu akwe kunu akizilila. Hangi akizitontwa imigulu akwe kulihali, nukupyagula kumasingi amitwe lakwe, akamibusu imigulu akwe nukumipaka imakuta nimaza.
