Yohana 3:24-28

²⁴Gano gose gatendeka Yohana yang'hali hanagodekigwa mkifungo.

²⁵Wanahina wayagwe wa Yohana wasonga kuibamilila na Muyahudi mbuli ya jadi ya kunawa ili wamtambikile Mulungu.

²⁶Avo 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!”

²⁷Yohana kawedika, “Kuduhu munhu yodaha kuwa na kinhu chochose kamba Mulungu hamgwelele.

²⁸Mweye wenyego awo wasindila zangu kamba nonga, ‘Niye sili Kilisito Mkombola, lakini nhumigwa nimulongolele.’
