SANG'HANO 13:20-25

²⁰Mbuli zino zose zisola kamba milao mia nne na malongo matano. “Vugabitile gano, Mulungu kawagwelela walamula mbaka kipigiti cha muhokozi Samweli.

²¹Abaho, wanhu walonda mndewa, na Mulungu kawagwelela Sauli mwanage Kishi, wa mtala wa Benjamini, yakalile yatawale milao malongo mane.

²²Viyamsegeze Sauli, kamtenda Daudi yawe mndewa wao. Mulungu kalonga vino yomulonga Daudi, ‘Nimpata Daudi mwana wa Yese, munhu inimnogele, yondayagatende gose ganimulonda heyo yagatende.’

²³Kulawa mulukolo lwa munhu ino Mulungu kamgala Mkombola, Yesu, muisi ya Islaeli, kamba viyekile kilagano.

²⁴Yesu viyakalile hanasonga sang'hano yake, Yohana kaupeta usenga wa kuleka vilozo na kubatizigwa mwa wanhu wose wa Islaeli.

²⁵Yohana viyamambukize sang'hano yake, kalonga, ‘Mweye mokwagiza nie iyo munhu yalihi? Nie siyo munhu ija imumtamanila kwiza, ila heyo kokwiza hachugu changu, ayo ng'hwabasa zake nie silondigwa kuzifungula.’
