24 Gano gose gatendeka Yohana yang'hali hanagodekigwa mkifungo.
25 Wanahina wayagwe wa Yohana wasonga kuibamilila na Muyahudi mbuli ya jadi ya kunawa ili wamtambikile Mulungu.
26 Avo wamcholela Yohana na kumulongela, “Mfundiza, vino komkumbuka munhu ija yuukalile nayo mwambu wa kudilawila zuwa wa lwanda lwa Yolidani, ija yuulongile mbuli zake? Hambe sambi kobatiza na kila munhu komcholela!”
27 Yohana kawedika, “Kuduhu munhu yodaha kuwa na kinhu chochose kamba Mulungu hamgwelele.
28 Mweye wenyego awo wasindila zangu kamba nonga, ‘Niye sili Kilisito Mkombola, lakini nhumigwa nimulongolele.’
