Yohana 3:15-28

¹⁵leka munhu yoneche yomkunda yawe na ukomu wa mazuwa gose ne kuduma.

¹⁶Nguluwi nakawagana wanhu wa isi, mbaka kamigala Mwanage yaliyeng'ha leka chila munhu yomkunda yaleche kubagama ila yawe na ukomu wa mazuwa gose ne kuduma.

¹⁷Nguluwi hamwigale Mwanage kuli isi leka yawataguse wanhu, ila kamigala yawalohole.

¹⁸Munhu yoneche yamkundile Yesu kahela utaguso, ila munhu yohomkunda, mina katagusigwa, kwavila kalema kumkunda Mwana yaliyeng'ha wa Nguluwi.

¹⁹Utaguso awo ndo uno. Lumuli luya kuli isi yeng'ha ila wanhu nawagana kutitu woleka lumuli, kwa vila madito gawo geha.

²⁰Chila munhu yalingudita gehile kangulema lumuli, nahokuya kuli lumuli mina halingugana gehile ga heye goneche.

²¹Leka munhu yoneche yalingudita ga kukomya galingumnojeza Nguluwi koyaga kuli lumuli, leka madito ga heye goneche gaditigwa kwa kumtogola Nguluwi.

²²Kumala kwa ago, Yesu nakafika mkowa wa Yudeya hamwe na walanguswa wa heye. Nakekala ako hamwe na hewo hado, yowabatiza wanhu.

²³Yohani na heye nayali yobatiza wanhu ako Ainoni, behi na Salemu, mina ako kwali na malenga menji. Wanhu nawaluta kwa heye, na heye nakawabatiza.

²⁴Mhela awo Yohani nayang'hali hindilwa mchinwengho.

²⁵Kitwanza nakulawila hagati kwa wamwe wa walanguswa wa Yohani na Myahudi yumwe kuli chihendo cha kihovuga leka wamlande Nguluwi.

²⁶Walanguswa awo nawamlutila Yohani na kumlonjela, “Mlangusa, yula munhu yawele hamwe na hegwe kumwambu kwa Yolodani, na hegwe ulonjile mbuli za heye, sambi na heye kangubatiza, na wanhu weng'ha wanguluta kwa heye!”

²⁷Yohani nakamlonjela, “Munhu howeza kuwa na chinhu wone hapeligwe kulawa kilanga.

²⁸Na hemwe namwe moweza kulavya ulolezi kota nandonga, ‘Heni siwele Kilistu Mlohozi, ila nhumigwa leka ndimlongole!’
