YOHANA. 4:20-42

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?”

³⁰Avo wasegela haja hakiwambo wachola kuyali Yesu.

³¹Kipigiti kikija wanahina zake wamuyalalila Yesu wolonga, “Mkulufunzi, uje mandia.”

³²Ila heyo kawalongela, “Nie nnago mandia ago mweye hamgamanyile.”

³³Avo waja wanahina wasonga kukiiuza wenyego kwa wenyego, “Hana munhu yamgalile mandia?”

³⁴Yesu kawalongela, “Mandia gangu nie gago gano, kugatenda gaja gamnogele ayo yanhumile na kuimambukiza sang'hano yake.

³⁵Munawo ulonzi ulonga, ‘Isigala milenge mine mulao ulawe.’ Ila nie nowalongela, loleni mmigunda, vakuja vipa visha avo volondigwa kuhunigwa.

³⁶Muhuna vakuja kogendelela kulihigwa hata sambi, na heyo kokunzanya ivakuja yavike muugima wa digunge, avo yahandile na ayo yohuna wodeng'ha hamoja.

³⁷Kamba ulonzi uno vuulonga, ‘Imwe kohanda, iyagwe kohuna.’

³⁸Niwagala kuhuna vakuja mumgunda hamuulimile. Wanhu wayagwe iwo wasang'hanike, na mweye mpata fong'ha kulawa msang'hano yao.”

³⁹Wasamalia bwando kulawa mkiwambo kija wamtogola Yesu, sama ya gaja gayalongile ija imtwanzi, “Kanongela kila kinhu kinhendile.”

⁴⁰Avo waja Wasamalia viwamwizile, wamuyalalila yakale na hewo, avo Yesu kakala haja mazua mabili.

⁴¹Wanhu wayagwe bwando wamtogola sama ya mbuli zake,

⁴²na wamulongela ija imtwanzi, “Tutogola si kwavija gweye kutulongela, ila kwavija tumuhulika tweye wenyego, na tuvitanga kamba heyo iyo Mkombola wa ulumwengu.”
