3“Omwoyo ogwa omuntu oetana mu ekeewa otino, ‘Mulongere Omwami engira, mumugololre engira ewe enyigolovu.’ ”
4Omuntu oyo yawanga Yowaana, yafuma mu ekeewa atanika okulanzizia awantu mbwe wagaluke wareke amawi, wabatiiswe kugere Katonda awarekere owuoni wuawu.
5Awantu awangi ino awa mu ekialo ekia Yudeea no omugizi ogwa Yerusaleemu waagia ku Yowaana. Waawoola amawi gaawu owuyanga, nikwo Yowaana yawabatiisa mu oluuzi olwa Yordaani.
