²²Bhalabhonji gubhaabhushiyenje, “Bhai, mmwe agani? Nkwitaya bhuli mmayene? Ntubhalanjile, nkupinga tukaabhalanjilanje bhatutumilenje kukummuya bhala.”

²⁴Bhene bhandunji bhatumilwenje na Mapalishayo bhala,

²⁵gubhaabhushiyenje a Yowana, “Monaga mmwe nngabha a Kilishitu na nngabha a Eliya na wala nngabha ankulondola bha a Nnungu bhala, pakuti nnabhatisha?”

²⁶A Yowana gubhaajangwilenje, “Nne ngunabhatisha kwa mashi, ikabheje bhapali bhamo munkumbi gwenunji bhunkanabhe kwaamanyanga.

²⁷Bhene bhunalugwile bhanakwiya nnyuma jangu, nne nangatopela kubha ntumishi jwabho nkali jwa gopola mbundo ya ilatu yabho.”

³⁰Bhenebha bhunakungulushilaga nilinkuti, ‘Nnyuma jangu bhanakwiya bhandu bhamo bhali bhakulungwa kumbunda nne, pabha bhaapali nne nganabhe pagwa!’

³¹Nne namwene ngaamanyiji, ikabheje njikwiya bhatisha kwa mashi nkupinga bhandu bha Ishilaeli bhaamanyanje.”

³²A Yowana gubhakong'ondele bhalinkuti, “Nashinkumona Mbumu jwa a Nnungu alituluka mbuti nnjubha, kukoposhela kunnungu nikwaatula.

³³Nne nganaamanye, ikabheje bhene bhandumile kubhatisha kwa mashi bhala bhanugulile, ‘Mundu jushimummone alikuntula Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, jwenejo shaabhatishe kwa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.’

³⁴Nne nigabhweni na ngunakong'ondela kuti bhenebha Bhanabhabho a Nnugu.”

³⁵Malabhi gakwe, a Yowana pubhaaliji na bhaajiganywa bhabho bhabhili.

³⁶Bhakaabhoneje a Yeshu bhalipita, gubhashite, “Nnolanje! Mwana Ngondolo jwa a Nnungu.”

³⁷Bhaajiganywa bhabhili bha a Yowana bhala, bhakapilikananjeje gene malobhego, gubhaakagwilenje a Yeshu.

³⁸Bhai, a Yeshu gubhatendebhwishe gubhaabhweninji bhaajiganywa bha a Yowana bhalikwakagulanga, gubhaabhushiyenje, “Nkuloleyanga nndi?” Bhalabhonji gubhaajangwilenje, “Alabhi, kunkutama kwei?” A Labhi, malombolelo gakwe Bhaajiganya.

³⁹A Yeshu gubhabhaalanjilenje, “Nnjiyangananje shimpabhonanje.” Bhaajiganywa bhala gubhaakagwilenje gubhapabhweninji pubhatamaga, puyaliji shaa kumi ja ligulo na gubhatemi nabhonji lyene lyubhalyo.

⁴⁰Jumo jwa bhene bhaajiganywa bhabhili bhaapilikenenje a Yowana bhalibheleketa nikwakagula a Yeshu, pubhashemwaga a Ndeleya, apwabho a Shimoni Petili.

⁴¹A Ndeleya gubhatandwibhe kwaaloleya akulu bhabho a Shimoni, gubhaalugulile, “Twaabhweni a Mashiya” malombolelo gakwe a Kilishitu Bhaatapula.

⁴²Kungai gubhaapeleshe kwa a Yeshu. Na bhalabho a Yeshu gubhaalolile nigubhashite, “Mmwe a Shimoni bhana bhabho a Yowana. Nnaino shinshemwe a Kepa.” Malombolelo gakwe Petili, yani, “Liganga.”

⁴³Malabhi gakwe a Yeshu gubhapinjile kwenda ku Galilaya. Bhai, gubhaabhweni a Pilipi gubhaabhalanjile, “Nngagule.”

⁴⁴A Pilipi pubhaliji bhandu bha ku Bhetishaida shilambo shibhatamaga a Ndeleya na a Petili.
