Yohana 3:26-30

²⁶Ivyo waita kwa Yohana nakugamba, “Mhinya, wakumbuka yudya mntu endaga hamwenga na weye ng'ambo yo mto Yolodani, yudya waukulaga mbuli zakwe? Kaula, haluse abatiza, naho chila mntu amwitila!”

²⁷Yohana ahitula, “Hahali akudaha kutenda na chintu hanenkigwe ni Chohile ywa kwembingu.

²⁸Nyuwe wenye mwi waukuzi wangu wa yadya nalongaga, ‘Miye suyo Kulisito, mna sisigilwa chani nimlongweile.’

²⁹Mta mwali wa chiche nuyo mwali we chilume, mna mmbuya wo mwali we chiche, yudya akumchimala haguhi na uyo na kumwetegeleza, eleleswa umo akeva izwi dyo umwali we chivyele. Vino nivyo mbwedo wangu uchinta.

³⁰Aungwa amanyikise miye nami nisinywe hadodo.”
