¹⁰Imbuli tsakakala muisi, na hata ka Imulungu tsakalumba isi kubitila yeye, iwanu ng'awamtangile bae.

¹¹Tsakatsa ukaye yake, lekeni iwanu wake ng'awambokele bae.

¹²Bali iwanu wose iwambokele, awala iwamtoghole, kawatenda wadahe kuwa iwana we Imulungu.

¹³Iwana ing'awelekighwe bae kwa uwetso we iwanu, wala kwe ngupfu tsa lukuli au unoghelo we iwanu, ila kwa uwetso we Imulungu.

¹⁴Na Imbuli ayo kawa imunu, naye kakala hamwe na twetwe. Na twetwe tuwona utunitso wake, utunitso we Imwana nyalimwe, iyatsile kulawa kwa Aba, kamema uluso na ukweli.

¹⁵Yohane tsakalonga mbuli tsake. Tsakakemelela, “Ayuno iyo iyaniwalongele, ‘Ayo iyakutsa kuchughu kwangu mkulu kubita nene kwaapfila tsakabaha ng'ana nene nyelekighwe.’ ”

¹⁶Kwa ukutimila kwa uluso wake twetwe twose tubokela ng'ani.

¹⁷Imulungu tsakatwing'a Ghamalaghitso kubitila Musa, lekeni uluso na ukweli pfakutsa kubitila Yesu Kiristu.

¹⁸Kuduhu imunu wowose iyamwonile Imulungu. Ila Imwana yaliyeka, yeghalile ne Imulungu iyelungile na Aba, iyo iyatulongele mbuli tse Imulungu.

¹⁹Auno iwo ukalangama wa Yohane, iwakulu wa Wayahudi wa Yerusalemu hawawatumile iwatambika wakulu na Walawi waghende kwa Yohane, kumghutsa yeye tsakakala nani.

²⁰Yohane tsakatoghola na ng'alemile bae kuwedika mwatsimwatsi, tsakalonga, “Nene sili Kiristu bae, iyokombola iwanu.”

²¹Wamghutsa, “Lelo ghweghwe uli nani? Pfii ghweghwe kwa Eliya?” Yohane kawedika, “Mbe, si nene bae.” Wamghutsa keli, “Lelo ghweghwe kwa ayula Nabii iyalongighwe katsakutsa?” Kawedika, “Bae.”

²²Kuya wamghutsa, “Lelo ghweghwe uli nani? Ghweghwe mwenyegho ulongatse? Tulongele lelo, na twetwe tukawalongele yawatutumile tukughutse.”

²³Yohane kawedika ka pfayalongile nabii Isaya, “Nene na ‘litsi lye imunu iyokema kunyika, Muigholose inzila ye Imtwatsa!’ ”
