²⁸Vitukutuku anevyo vítendeke aneko ku Besaniya, kung'ambo luhunde lwa Yoludani, pachinu pachivabatisa vanu Yohana.

²⁹Liduva lipapête Yohana nkumwona Yesu wahaloka, Yohana nkuvahaulila vanu kuchidoni, “Nnole ungandolo wamwana wa Nnungu avausîja masambi vanu va pachilambo!

³⁰Ayu njo unichimwamba panichihaula kuchidoni, ‘Nnyuma mwangu àvenkwida munu nkulu ungupunda nangu, kwa kuva nang'e ánipwawa kabla nangu nikànambivelekwa!’

³¹Nangu nimwene nikanammaite kuva nnani, henga ngùidile unabatisa vanu kwa medi uchinga amaikane kwa vanu va Isilaeli.”

³²Anepo Yohana nkuhumya ushahidi wachidoni, “Nímmwene Umumu Wanaswe achionekâna muchi umunda wasulupuka kuhaloka kulihunde, nkutulila muha mwake.

³³Nangu nikánammale kuva nang'e nnani, bila ayula angutumîle unabatisa vanu kwa medi unguhaulila anepo patandi kuva, ‘Aneyo umbemwôna Umumu Wanaswe wansulupukila, na kutulila muha mwake, aneyo njo abatîsa kwa Umumu Wanaswe.’

³⁴Nangu nimwene ńnivyona vitukutuku anevyo, na mbènkushuhudila kuva, ayu nni Mwana wa Nnungu.”

³⁵Liduva lipapête, Yohana ávele pamo na vakuhundwa vake vavili.

³⁶Yohana pammwene Yesu wapita, nkuhaula kuchidoni, “Nnolange ungandolo wa mwana wa Nnungu.”

³⁷Avala vakuhundwa vavili vanga Yohana pavapilikene malove anelo, nkumpapata Yesu.

³⁸Yesu nkulauka, nkuvona vakuhundwa uvammpapata, Yesu nkuvauja kuchidoni, “Mùtaha chamani?” Vanang'o nkuyang'ula kuchidoni, “Labi ùikala kwachi?” Labi mana lake Nkúhunda.

³⁹Yesu nkuvayang'ula kuchidoni, “Idang'ana mupone.” Bahi avala vakuhundwa nkumpapata, nkupona pachinu páikàlà, nkuikala nawe liduva alila lyammalele. Na uhiku anewo wávele malinga sakumi chinalyulo.

⁴⁰Anduleya nnung'une Simoni Petulo ávele yumo wa avala vakuhundwa vavili vanampilikene Yohana pachitangola malove àlalá, nkunnondola Yesu.

⁴¹Chinu chitandi chatendile Anduleya, ni kuntaha Simoni nkuluwe nahoti, nkunnyaulila kuchidoni, “Tùnimwona Masiya,” yani Kilisto.

⁴²Anepo Anduleya nkumpelekeja Simoni kwanga Yesu. Yesu nkunnola Simoni, nkuchidoni, “Wako nni Simoni mwana wanga Yohana, henga hambi ùmbechemwa Kefa.” Kefa nni lina linji lyanga Petulo, Petulo mana lake, “liyanga.”

⁴³Liduva lipapête, Yesu ákudungidile kuhwena ku Galilaya. Bahi nkumwona Filipo, nkunnyaulila kuchidoni, “Ngupapate.”

⁴⁵Filipo nanang'e nkukojana na Nasanieli, nkunnyaulila kuchidoni, “Tùnimwona ayula uvannembile mmitabu vya Sheliya yanga Musa na mmitabu vya manabii, Yesu wa ku Nasaleti, mwana wanga Yusufu.”

⁴⁶Nasanieli nkummuja Filipo kuchidoni, “Ìmbehululika dachi chinu chambone chihaloke ku Nasaleti?” Filipo nkunnyaulila kuchidoni, “Ida ulilolee umwene.”
