YOHANA. 4:1-16

¹Mafalisayo wahulika kamba Yesu kowapata na kuwabatiza wanahina bwando kum'banza Yohana.

²Ila Yesu mwenyego ham'batize munhu yoyose, ila wanahina zake wawo wabatize.

³Yesu viyahulike gano, kasegela muisi ya Yudea kabwela muisi ya Galilaya,

⁴kabita nzila ibitile muisi ya Samalia.

⁵Kavika mkiwambo kimwe muisi ya Samalia kikemigwa Sikali, behi na mgunda wa Yakobo uyakalile yaamgwelele mwanage, Usufu.

⁶Haja kukala na kisima cha Yakobo, na Yesu, avija viyadonhile na umwanza, kakala hasi hamgwazo wa ikisima. Ikala saa sita imisi.

⁷Mtwanzi wa Kisamalia keza kudeha mazi, na Yesu kamulongela, “Nigwelele mazi ning'we.”

⁸Wanahina zake wakala wacholile kukiwambo kugula mandia.

⁹Ija imtwanzi kamulongela, “Gweye kwa Muyahudi na nie na mtwanzi wa Kisamalia, konipulaze nie mazi ga kung'wa?” Kwavija Wayahudi hawasangilaga vinhu na Wasamalia.

¹⁰Yesu kedika, “Kamba uhaimanyile nhunza ya Mulungu na uhammanyile ayo yokupula mazi ga kung'wa, uhampulile heyo na yahakugwelele mazi golava ugima.”

¹¹Ija imtwanzi kalonga, “Mndewa, kia cha kudehela kwabule na kisima kigidila, kwahi kondaugapate mazi ago gali na ugima?

¹²Gweye kwa mkulu kum'banza muhenga wetu Yakobo yatugwelele kisima kino, na heyo mwenyego na wanage na madale gake ga ng'hondolo wose wang'wa mazi ga kisima kino?”

¹³Yesu kamulongela, “Wanhu wose wong'wa mazi gano wokona ng'hilu kabili,

¹⁴ila munhu yoyose yondayang'we mazi gondanimgwelele nie hondayone ng'hilu kabili. Mazi gondanimgwelele nie gogaluka nzokwe mgati yake, gondagamgwelele ugima wa digunge.”

¹⁵Ija imtwanzi kalonga, “Mndewa, ngwelela mazi higo! Giladi sambinyone ng'hilu kabili, na sambinize hano kudeha mazi.”

¹⁶Yesu kamulongela, “Genda kamkeme mbigalo wako, abaho, ubwele.”
