“Mundu jujamali kulukoba,
‘Munhandaliya Bambu indela jaki,

4Yohana jaweti ingobu yeasoniki kwa mangoma gi kinyama sebikikema ngamia nu nkanda wa ngosi mukibunu saki. Posu jaki jabia mapai na busi gumwikioli. 5Bandu bunzendila, kuhuma ku Yelusalemu na kuhuma misi yoti yuku Yudea kuhuma ndema yoti yeibii pambipi ja losi luku Yoludani. 6Bajetakiya mahakau gabu nukugaleka, najombi jaabatisa mu losi luku Yoludani.

Nya joantonyiki kujepa kutemuliwa na Sapanga kokwihikaje? 8Nhenga mahengu gagalangi nndekaki mahakau gino. 9Mwiwasali nhwesa kujepa kutemuliwa na Sapanga sukulipwagi, ‘Atati bitu Ibulahimu.’ Numpwagi sakaka, Sapanga juwesa kung'anambu malibu haga gabia bana baka Ibulaimu. 10Ndienu lipengu abei punhina ji mikongu, na henu nkongu gokapi wanga kupapa matunda gasapi biitenda kuguseku nukuguleke pamwotu. 11Nepani numbatisa kwa masi kulangi nndekaki mahakau gino. Lakini jojuhika munyuma jane jubii nu uwesu kupeta nepani, nane ngasembalika hata kujuku makobasi gaki. Jombi jambatisa kwa Loho jaka Sapanga na kwa mwotu. 12Jombi jubi ni kipalu saki mumaboku gaki, ili jupeta ilebi yaki, ni inganu yaki jaibeka mukikoku, lakini mwegeu jagujosa kwa mwotu wanga kususuka.”

13Ndienu, Yesu jahuma ku Galilaya, jahika ku losi luku Yoludani, kubatiswa na Yohana. 14Lakini Yohana jalenga kumpenga, sukupwaga, “Nepani ndi nembala kubatiswa nawe, kubi boo, wehapa guhika kwango?”
15Lakini Yesu anzibua, “Kuleka pe kubia ahelahe kwa sajeno, ndaba ndi ekupalika tutimisa goti gajupala Sapanga.” Ndienu Yohana jatenda kujetake kumbatisa Yesu.
16Yesu pajajomula pee kubatiswa, jwapita mmasi. Apalapa kunani ku mahundi kwaka Sapanga kwatenda kuhogoka, ambona Loho jaka Sapanga jakahuluka ngati ngunda nu kumete panani jaki. 17Sauti kuhuma kunani kwaka Sapanga jajoanika jakapwaga, “Jonzo ndi Mwanangu jonumpai, jojunenganile.”
