10 Ajhele ku dunia ni dunia jhabhombiki kup'etela muene, ni dunia jhammanyi lepi.
11 Ahidili kwa fenu fya muene, nibharui bha muene bhabelikumpokela.
12 Bali kwa bhala bhingi bhabhampokili, ambabho bhaliamini lihina lya muene, kwa abhu abhapelili haki jha kujha bhana bha K'yara,
13 Ambabho bhahogoliki, sio kwa damu, wala kwa mapenzi gha mb'ele, wala kwa mapenzi gha munu, bali kwa K'yara muene.
14 Nu muene Lilobhi abhombiki mb'ele ni kutama miongoni mwa tete, tubhubhwene bhutukufu bhwa muene, bhutukufu kama bhwamunu muene ghwa pasima ahidili kuh'omela kwa dadi, amemili neema ni kweli.
15 Yohana ashuhudili kuhusu muene, na akwesili sauti ajobhili, “Ojho ndo jha najobhili habari sya muene najobhili, “Jhola jhaibetakuhida badala jha nene ndo mbaha kuliko nene, kwa ndabha ajhele kabla jha nene.”
16 Kwa kujha kuh'omela mu bhutimilifu bhwa muene, tete twebhoha tupokili mebhu kipawa baada jha kipawa.
17 Kwa kujha sheria jhaletibhu kup'etela Musa. Neema ni kweli fyahidili kup'etela Yesu kristu.
18 Ajhelepi mwanadamu jhaambwene K'yara wakati bhuoha. Munu muene ambajhe ndo K'yara, jhaajhele pa kifua kya dadi, ambombili muene amanyikanayi.
19 Na obhu ndo bhushuhuda bhwa Yohana wakati makuhani ni walawi bhabhatumibhu kwa muene ni bhayahudi kun'kota, “Bhebhe wa niani?”
20 Bila kusitasita na abelilepi, bali ajibili, “Nene na Kristu lepi.”
21 Hivyo bhakan'kota, “henu bhebhe ghweniani?” Bhebhe ndo Eliya? Akajobha, “Nene lepi.” Bhakajobha bhebhe wa niani wa nabii? Ajibili,” Lepi.”
22 Kisha bhakan'jobhela, “Bhebhe wa niani, ili tubhapelayi lijibu bhabhatutumili”? Ukishuhudilayi wajhobhi?”
23 Akajobha, “Nene na sauti jha muene jha ajhe nyikani: 'Mujhinyosiajhi njela jha Bwana,' kama nabii Isaya kyaajobhili.”
24 Basi kwajhele ni bhanu bha bhatumibhu pala kuhoma kwa Mafarisayo. Bhakan'kota ni kujobha,
25 “Kwa ndabha jha kiki wibatisya basi kama bhebhe sio Kristu wala Eliya wala nabii?”
26 Yohana abhajibili akajobha, “Nibatisya kwa masi. Hata efyo, miongoni mwa muenga ijhema munu jhamummanyilepi.
27 Ojho ndo jha ihida baada jha nene. Nene nilondeka lepi ata kuhobhosya mighojhi jha filatu fya muene.”
28 Mambo agha ghabhombiki okhu Bethania, kwiselya ku Yordani, mahali ambapo Yohana ajhele ibatisya.
29 Ligono lyalafwatili Yohana ambwene Yesu ihida kwa muene akajobha, “Langayi mwanakondoo ghwa K'yara jhaibetakujhitola dhambi jha bhulimwengu!
30 ojho ndo jhanijobheghe habari sya muene, nikajobhili, “Muene jhaibetakuhida kunyuma jha nene ndo mbaha kuliko nene, kwa kujha ajhele kabla jha nene.'
31 Nikammanyilepi muene, lakini jhabhombiki naha ili kwamba afumulibhwayi ku Israeli, kujha nahidili kubatisya kwa masi.”
32 Yohana ashuhudili, “Nabhwene Roho iselela kuh'oma kumbinguni mfuano ghwa hua, najhabakili kunani kwa muene.
33 Nene nammanyilepi lakini muene jhaanitumili ili nibatisiajhi kwa masi anijobhili, 'jhola ambajhe ibetakubhona Roho iselela ni kutama panani pa muene, Ojho ndo ibetakubatisya kwa Roho Mtakatifu.'
34 Nibhuene na nishuhudili kujha ojho ndo Mwana ghwa K'yara.”
35 Kabhele ligono lya lafwatili Yohana ajhemili pamonga ni bhanafunzi bhamuene bhabhele,
36 bhambwene Yesu igenda ni Yohana akajobha, “Langayi, Mwana kondoo ghwa K'yara!”
37 Bhanafunzi bhabhele bhampeliki Yohana ijobha haya bhakan'kesya Yesu.
38 Kabhele Yesu ageuki ni kubhabhona bhanafunzi bhala bhabhele bhakan'kesya, na akabhajobhela, “Mwilonda kiki?” Bhakajibu, “Rabbi, (maana jhiake 'mwalimu,' witama ndaku?”
39 Akabhajobhela, “Muhidayi na mulotayi.”Kisha bhakalota ni kulola mahali pa atameghe; bhatamili pamonga naku ligono elu kwakujha jha jhele kama saa kumi ivi.
40 Mmonga kati jha bhala bhabhele bhabhamp'eliki Yohana ilongela na kisha kun'kesya Yesu ajhele Andrea, ndongomunu Simoni Petro.
41 Ambwene ndongomunu Simoni ni kun'jobhela, “Tun'kabhili masihi” (ambajho jhitafsiribhwa Kristu).
42 Andetili kwa Yesu. Yesu akandanga ni kujobha, “Bhebhe ndo Simoni mwana ghwa Yohana” wibetakutibhwa kefa,” (maana jhiake 'Petro').
43 Ligono lya lyafwatili wakati abhokili kulota Galilaya, an'kabhili Filipo ni kun'jobhela, “Nik'esiajhi nene.”
44 Filipo ajhele mwenyeji wa Bethsaida, mji wa Andrea ni Petro.
45 Filipo an'kabhili Nathanaeli ni kun'jobhela, Tun'kabhili jhola ambajhe Musa abhwesiti kulamba habari sya muene mun sheria sya manabii. Yesu mwana ghwa Yusufu, kuh'omela ku Nazareti.
46 Nathanaeli akan'jobhela, “Je khenu kinofu kibhwesya kuh'omela Nazareti?” Filipo akan'jobhela, Hidayi na ulolayi.”
47 Yesu akambona Nathanaeli ihida kwa muene ni kujobha, “Langayi, Mwisraeli kweli kweli jhaabelikujha ni udesi mugati mwa muene!”
