¹Mafarisayo tsawahulika ka Yesu yang'ali yowatenda iwanu wengi wawe iwanang'ina na kuwabatitsa kubita Yohane,

²lekeni Yesu ng'abatitse bae iwanu, ila iwanang'ina wake iwo iwabatitse.

³Yesu hayahulike apfi, kalawa Yudeya koya Galilaya,

⁴mne ghumwanza ghwake tsakabamighwa kubitila Samariya.

⁵Tsakapfika Samariya hanu hakemighwe Sikari, habehi na mghunda ghula Yakobu ghwamwing'ile Yosefu, imwanaghe.

⁶Baho tsakukala na chisima cha Yakobu, kwaapfila Yesu tsakepfa kwa ghumwanza ghwake, apfo kakala hasi habehi ne chisima. Tsaikala nemisi.

⁷Ipinga yumwe Msamariya tsakatsa kudegha ghamatsi, Yesu kamlongela, “Ungaye ghamatsi nuwe.”

⁸Iwanang'ina wake tsawaghenda mkaye kughula ichijo.

⁹Ipinga ayo kamwidika, “Ghweghwe kwa Myahudi, nene na Msamariya. Ule kwonomba ghamatsi?” Tsakalonga apfi kwaapfila Wayahudi na Wasamariya ng'awajagha hamwe bae.

¹⁰Yesu kamwidika, “Ung'amanyile ichinu chayolapfa Imulungu na nani iyokulomba ghamatsi gho ukunwa, ung'amlombile, naye ang'akwing'ile ghamatsi ighoghala ughima.”

¹¹Ipinga ayo kalonga, “Imtwatsa, kwahela chinu cha kudeghela ghamatsi, ne chisima chighendesa. Lelo utsoghapata kwani ghamatsi ghe ughima?

¹²Apfi ghweghwe kwa mbala kubita aba wetu Yakobu iyatwing'ile chisima chino, yeye mwenyegho ne iwanaghe ne iwanyama wake tsawanwa ghamatsi ghe chisima chino?”
