Yohana 4:17-35

¹⁷Ayula mdala nakamwidichila, “Ndahela mlume.” Yesu nakedichila, “Nakukomya vyoulonjile kwahela mlume.

¹⁸Nakuholigwa na walume wahano, na mlume ulingikala naye sambi hawele mlume wa hegwe. Goulonga kukomya.”

¹⁹Yula mdala nakamlonjela, “Mkulu, ndangukona hegwe kwa mloli wa Nguluwi.

²⁰Wasekulu wa hetwe wali wotambichiza Nguluwi kuli chidunda chino, ila hemwe Wayahudi mwangulonga Yelusalemu ndo honhu ha kutambichiza Nguluwi.”

²¹Yesu nakamlonjela yula mdala, “Mdala ukunde gondilonga, mhela wanguya wanhu howomtambichiza Nguluwi kuli chidunda chino ama kula Yelusalemu.

²²Hemwe Wasamaliya hamzelele yalikohi wa kumtambichiza, ila hetwe Wayahudi tumzela yalikohi wa kumtambichiza, kwa vila ulohozi wolawa kwa Wayahudi.

²³Ila mhela wanguya nawabaha ufika, walingutambichiza wokomya, womtambichiza Mhaza wolongozwa kwa Muhe Yelile na kukomya.

²⁴Nguluwi ndo Muhe. Ahyo wanhu walingumtambichiza, wamtambichize kwa kulongozwa kwa Muhe na kukomya.”

²⁵Mdala nakamlonjela Yesu hino, “Ndivizela kota Masiha yochemigwa Kilistu Mlohozi kokuya. Hoyokuya, kotulonjela hetwe mbuli zeng'ha.”

²⁶Yesu nakamwidichila, “Heni ndo nene ndilingulonga na hegwe!”

²⁷Baho du, walanguswa nawahiluka, wabubuwala vyowamfichile Yesu yolonga na mdala. Ila kwali kuduhu ne yumwe yamuuzile ayula mdala kota, “Kwangugana choni?” Nakumuuza Yesu, “Ndaze kwangulonga na ayu mdala?”

²⁸Hamba ayula mdala nakaleka chiya cha malenga, kahiluka kuluga kuwalonjela wanhu,

²⁹Muye mlole, munhu yandonjele heni geng'ha gong'holile, kowa yawele Kilistu Mlohozi?

³⁰Baho wanhu nawoka kuli muji nawaluta koyali Yesu.

³¹Mhela wuwo walanguswa wali womdedeza Yesu, “Mlangusa, ulye chilyo.”

³²Ila heye nakawedichila, “Ndina chilyo cha kulya cho hamchizelele hebu.”

³³Walanguswa nawaluka kiwuza hewo waliyeka, “Hambi kwali na munhu yamigalile chilyo?”

³⁴Yesu nakawalonjela, “Chilyo cha heni chowa kudita vyoyaganile heye yanhumile na kukola mbuli zoyalajize.

³⁵Vyomzowele kulonga, ‘Jinghali myezi jine hela mhela wa mbena.’ Ila ndangukulonjelani mlole goya kuli migunda, vilyo vikangala goya kubenigwa.
