YOHANA. 3:21-26

²¹Waja wotenda mbuli zinogile wokwiza kuna umulangaza, giladi yoneke kamba sang'hano zao zitendeka kubitila Mulungu.”

²²Abaho Yesu na wanahina zake wachola ng'ambu ya Yudea, kakala hiko mkipigiti kidodo na kubatiza.

²³Yohana na heyo kakala yobatiza ako Ainoni behi na Salimu, kwavija hanhu haja kukala na mazi bwando. Wanhu wamgendela na heyo kawabatiza.

²⁴Mbuli zino zilawilila kipigiti Yohana hanageligwa mkifungo.

²⁵Wanahina wa Yohana wasonga kuibamilila na Muyahudi imwe muimbuli ya nzoela ya kusuluza magulu na makono.

²⁶Avo wachola ha Yohana wamulongela, “Mkulufunzi, munhu ija yakalile na gweye mwambu wa ikabili wa Ulwanda lwa Yolodani, ija iumulongile kamba iyo Kilisto, na heyo kobatiza, na wanhu wose womgendela.”
