YOHANA. 4:2-29

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.”

¹⁷Ija imtwanzi kedika, “Nabule mbigalo.” Yesu kamulongela, “Kulonga goya avija vuulonga kwabule mbigalo.

¹⁸Kwavija kusoligwa na wambigalo watano, na mbigalo yuukala nayo sambi siyo mbigalo wako. Kunongela ikweli.”

¹⁹Ija imtwanzi kalonga, “Mndewa, nokona gweye kwa muhokozi.”

²⁰Wahenga zetu wakala wotambika mkigongo kino, ila mweye mogong'ondeza kamba Yelusalemu baho hanhu ha kutambikila.

²¹Yesu kamulongela ija imtwanzi, “Nhegeleza nie, go mtwanzi, kipigiti chokwiza wanhu hawamtambikila Tata mkigongo kino ama kuja Yelusalemu.

²²Mweye motambikila kija hamkitangile, ila tweye tukitanga kija itukitambikila, kwavija ukombola wolawa mwa Wayahudi.

²³Ila kipigiti chokwiza na tena kipigiti kivika, watambika wa ikweli womtambikila Tata muloho na muikweli, kwavija Tata kowazahila wanhu wondawamtambikile kamba vino.

²⁴Mulungu iyo Loho, avo awo womtambikila wolondigwa wamtambikile muloho na muikweli.”

²⁵Ija imtwanzi kamulongela, “Nivitanga kamba Kilisto kokwiza, na yeheza, kotulongela kila kinhu.”

²⁶Yesu kamulongela, “Nie, inilonga nagwe, iyo Kilisto.”

²⁷Kipigiti kikija wanahina zake wabwela, wakanganya ng'hani viwam'vikile yolongelela na mtwanzi. Ila haduhu hata imwe mmwanza wao yamulongele, “Kolonda choni?” ama kumuuza Yesu, “Habali ulonga na mtwanzi ino?”

²⁸Abaho, ija imtwanzi kaleka nongo yake ya mazi, kabweleganya kukiwambo na kuwalongela wanhu wakalile haja.

²⁹Yolonga, “Izoni mmulole munhu yanongele kila kinhu kinhendile. Havidahika munhu ino kuwa iyo Kilisto?”
