15 leka munhu yoneche yomkunda yawe na ukomu wa mazuwa gose ne kuduma.
16 Nguluwi nakawagana wanhu wa isi, mbaka kamigala Mwanage yaliyeng'ha leka chila munhu yomkunda yaleche kubagama ila yawe na ukomu wa mazuwa gose ne kuduma.
17 Nguluwi hamwigale Mwanage kuli isi leka yawataguse wanhu, ila kamigala yawalohole.
18 Munhu yoneche yamkundile Yesu kahela utaguso, ila munhu yohomkunda, mina katagusigwa, kwavila kalema kumkunda Mwana yaliyeng'ha wa Nguluwi.
19 Utaguso awo ndo uno. Lumuli luya kuli isi yeng'ha ila wanhu nawagana kutitu woleka lumuli, kwa vila madito gawo geha.
20 Chila munhu yalingudita gehile kangulema lumuli, nahokuya kuli lumuli mina halingugana gehile ga heye goneche.
21 Leka munhu yoneche yalingudita ga kukomya galingumnojeza Nguluwi koyaga kuli lumuli, leka madito ga heye goneche gaditigwa kwa kumtogola Nguluwi.
22 Kumala kwa ago, Yesu nakafika mkowa wa Yudeya hamwe na walanguswa wa heye. Nakekala ako hamwe na hewo hado, yowabatiza wanhu.
23 Yohani na heye nayali yobatiza wanhu ako Ainoni, behi na Salemu, mina ako kwali na malenga menji. Wanhu nawaluta kwa heye, na heye nakawabatiza.
24 Mhela awo Yohani nayang'hali hindilwa mchinwengho.
25 Kitwanza nakulawila hagati kwa wamwe wa walanguswa wa Yohani na Myahudi yumwe kuli chihendo cha kihovuga leka wamlande Nguluwi.
26 Walanguswa 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!”
27 Yohani nakamlonjela, “Munhu howeza kuwa na chinhu wone hapeligwe kulawa kilanga.
28 Na hemwe namwe moweza kulavya ulolezi kota nandonga, ‘Heni siwele Kilistu Mlohozi, ila nhumigwa leka ndimlongole!’
