Yohana 4:19-27

¹⁹Mtwanzi ayo kalonga, “Go mkulu, vinikona gweye kwa mtula ndagu.

²⁰Wahenga zetu wamtambikila Mulungu kuna ulugongo luno, lakini mweye Wayahudi molonga Yelusalemu aho hanhu holondeka tumtambikile Mulungu.”

²¹Yesu kamulongela, “Mama, togola gano gonikulongela, kipindi chokwiza baho wanhu honda wamtambikile Tata kuna ulugongo luno hebu ako Yelusalemu.

²²Mweye Wasamalia hamumjuwile goya ayo imumtambikila, lakini tweye Wayahudi tumjuwa itumtambikila, kwavija ukombozi wolawa kwa Wayahudi.

²³Lakini kipindi chokwiza na sambi chabahano, aho awo wotambikaga kweli, womtambikila Tata kwa loho na kweli, kwavija Tata kolonda wanhu womtambikila kamba vivo.

²⁴Mulungu ni Loho, avo wanhu womtambikila wolondeka wamtambikile kwa loho na kweli.”

²⁵Mtwanzi ayo kamulongela Yesu, “Nojuwa Mkombola kokwiza, yokemigwa Kilisito, yaheza kotulongela mbuli zose.”

²⁶Yesu kamwidika, “Iyo nene, inilonga na gweye.”

²⁷Kipindi acho wanahina zake Yesu wabwela, wakanganya ng'hani viwamvikile Yesu kolonga na mtwanzi ayo. Lakini kuduhu imoja wao yamuuzile mtwanzi ayo, “Kolonda choni?” hebu yamuuze Yesu, “Habali kolonga na mtwanzi ino?”
