Kumatalikilo ooyo uutegwa Jwi wakaliko kale. Lino wakali aantoomwe a Leza, alimwi ngu Leza. Ngonguwe wakali a Leza kumatalikilo, zintu zyoonse zyakalengwa anguwe naatali nguwe nikwatakalengwa cintu niciba comwe. Muli nguwe momwakali buumi, nkabela buumi oobu bwakali mumuni wabantu. Mumuni ooyu ulamunika mumudima, pele mudima tuukonzyi kuuzunda pe.
Kwakali muntu umwi uutegwa Joni wakatumwa a Leza. Joni wakaboolela kuzoopa bumboni bwa Mumuni ooyu, kutegwa mubumboni bwakwe bantu boonse basyome Mumuni. Joni teensi ngo Mumuni, pele wakazida kuzoopa bumboni bwa Mumuni.
Ooyu ngonguwe Mumuni wini-wini wakaza ansi kuzoomunikila bantu boonse. Walo wakalimo munyika muno, nyika yakalengwa kwiindila muli nguwe, nikuba boobo bantu bamunyika tiibakamuzi pe. Wakaza kucisi cokwabo, pele bantu bakwe tiibakamutambula. Pele aabo bakamutambula akumusyoma wakabapa nguzu zyakuba bana ba Leza. Kuba bana ba Leza tiikwakazwida kubazyali babo, nikuba kukuyanda kwamuntu, pele mbana bazyedwe kunguzu zya Leza.
Nkabela Jwi eelyo lyakaba muntu, wakasika kuzookkala akati kesu kazwide luzyalo abwini. Swebo twakeebela bulemu bwakwe, bulemu bwa Simuzyalwa alikke wa Wisi. Wakali aaluse akwaamba zyakasimpe lyoonse. Joni wakali kumucitila bumboni. Wakoompolola kuti, “Ngonguwe ooyu ngwendakali kumwaambila kuti, ‘Uuza munsi lyangu ulandiinda, nkaambo wakaliko kale mebo nketanazyalwa!’” Muluse lwakwe lupati swebo twakatambula zileleko zinji kwiindilila. Milawo yakapegwa kwiindila muli Mozesi, pele luse abwini zyakazibwa kwiindila muli Jesu Kilisito. Noliba lili taakwe muntu wakabona Leza, nokuba kaindi kaniini buyo Mwana Simuzyalwa alikke uuyandisigwa nguwakatwaambila zyakwe.


Mboobu bumboni bwa Joni ciindi naakabuzigwa abapaizi a Balevi bakatumwa abapati ba Bajuda baku Jelusalemu kuzoomubuzya kuti, “Ino nduweni?” Wakaingula katakaki waambisya kuti, “Nsili ndime Munanike wa Leza pe.” Bakamubuzya kuti, “Ino nduweni? Sena nduwe Elija?” Wakaingula kuti, “Peepe, nsili ndime nguwe.” Bakati, “Sena nduwe Musinsimi uuyooboola?” Joni wakati, “Nsili nguwe.” Nkaako bakamubuzisisya bati, “Kotwaambila we naa nduweni kutegwa tukaambe kuli aabo batutuma. Ino uti nduweni?” Joni wakati, “Ndime yooyo ngwaakaamba musinsimi Izaya kuti,
‘Kuli waambilizya munkanda kuti,
Amululamike nzila zya Mwami!’”
Aabo bantu bakali kumubuzya bakatumidwe a Bafalisi. Alimwi bakamubuzya kuti, “Ino nkaambo nzi ncobbapatizya kuti kotali Munanike, naa Elija, naa musinsimi uuyooboola?” Joni wakabaingula kuti, “Mebo ndibbapatizya amaanzi buyo. Pele akati kanu mpali umwi ngomutazi. Ooyo ngonguwe uuza munsi lyangu, ngonguwe ngweteelede akwaangununa kaanzyo kandyasyo yakwe.” Makani aaya oonse akacitikila kumunzi wa Betani, uuli mutala lyamulonga wa Jolodani, oomo Joni mwaakali kubbapatizya.

Nibwakaca Joni wakabona Jesu kaza kulinguwe, mpoonya wakati, “Amubone Mwanaa Mbelele wa Leza, uugwisya zinyonyoono zyanyika! Ngonguwe ngwendakali kwaamba nindakati, ‘Uuza munsi lyangu ulandiinda, nkaambo wakaliwo kale mebo nketanazyalwa.’ Mebo lwangu tiindakamuzi, pele ndakazida kubbapatizya amaanzi kuti ayubununwe ku Baisilayeli.”
Alimwi Joni wakalungulula kuti, “Ndakabona Muuya Uusalala kuuseluka kuzwa kujulu mbuli nkwilimba akukkala ali nguwe. Mebo nsiindakamuzi, pele Leza wakandituma kubbapatizya amaanzi wakati kulindime, ‘Kufumbwa waakubona muntu uutikaselukilwe Muuya wangu kuzwa kujulu akumukkala, ukazibe kuti ngonguwe ooyo uubbapatizya a Muuya Uusalala.’ Lino lwangu ndemwini ndalibonena, nkankakaako ndapa bumboni bwakuti, ‘Ooyu ngo Mwanaa Leza!’”

Nibwakaca Joni wakaliimvwi abasikwiiya bakwe bobilo, Naakabona Jesu keenda wakati, “Amulange nguulya Mwanaa Mbelele wa Leza.” Basikwiiya bobilo aabo nibakamvwa boobo bakaccilila Jesu. Jesu naakacebuka, wakababona kabamuccilila, eelyo wakabuzya kuti, “Ino muyandaula nzi?” Bakamwiingula kuti, “Rabbi, ino ukkala kuli?” (“Rabbi,” caamba kuti, “Mwiiyi.”) Jesu wakati, “Amuboole mukabone.” Aboobo bakainka akubona nkwaakali kukkala. Bakaakukkala anguwe buzuba oobo boonse, nkaambo kwakali kale kumazuba.
Umwi wabaabo bakaccilila Jesu, ciindi Joni naakabaambila, wakali Andulu, mwanookwabo Saimoni Pita. Nkabela Andulu wakasaanguna kuunka kuli Saimoni akuyoomwaambila kuti, “Twamujana Munanike wa Leza.” (Zina eeli lyaamba kuti Kilisito.) Andulu wakatolelezya Saimoni kuli Jesu. Jesu nakamubona wakati, “Nduwe Saimoni mwanaa Jona, kuzwa ono unooitwa kuti Kefasi.” (Zina eeli lyaamba kuti, Pita naa bbwe.)

Nibwakaca Jesu wakayeeya kuunka kucisi ca Galilii, ooko wakajana mwaalumi wiitwa kuti Filipo, mpawo wakamwaambila kuti, “Ndiccilile!” Filipo wakali kukkala mu Betesaida. Mumunzi wakali kukkala Andulu a Pita. Filipo wakajana Natanayeli, mpoonya wakamwaambila kuti, “Twamujana muntu Mozesi ngwaakalemba mumabbuku aamilawo, ngonguwenya uulembedwe amumabbuku aabasinsimi, ngu Jesu waku Nazaleta, mwanaa Josefa.” Natanayeli wakati kuli Filipo, “Sena amwalo mu Nazaleta inga mwazwa cintu cibotu?” Filipo wakaingula wati, “Koboola, ukalibonene omwini.”
Lino Jesu naakabona Natanayeli uzabuza kulinguwe, wakati, “Ngooyu Muisilayeli mwini-mwini, uutacengi!” Natanayeli wakabuzya kuti, “Ino wakandiziba buti?” Jesu wakaingula kuti, “Ndalikubwene kale kocili munsi lyamukuyu, katana akukwiita Filipo.” Mpoonya Natanayeli wakaambila Jesu kuti, “O Mufundisi, nduwe Mwanaa Leza! Nduwe Mwami wa Isilayeli!” Jesu wakati, “Sena wasyoma oobo nkaambo ndati, ‘Ndakubona kocili munsi lyamukuyu?’ Uyoobona zintu zimbi zipati ziinda ceeci.” Wakati alimwi, “Ncobeni, muyoobona julu kalijulidwe, abangelo kabatanta akuseluka aa Mwanaa Muntu.”
