(Mat. 3.1-12; Mk. 1.1-8; Lk. 3.1-18)
19Bayaudi be bunyali mu Yerusalemu baruma basaayi balala ne Balawi khu Yoana bamureebe bali, “Ewe niwe naanu?” 20Yoana se aloba khu bakobosia tawe, ne kakhali alomaloma busa abuwaanga ali, “Ese se ndi Kristo tawe.” 21#Likh. 18.15,18; Mal. 4.5 Bamureeba bali, “Nono ewe niwe naanu? Ewe oli Elicha?” Yoana abakobosia ali, “Se ndi niye tawe.” Bamureeba bali, “Ewe niwe omung'oosi chana?” Abakobosia ali, “Tawe.” 22Bamuboolela bali, “Nono khuboolele, Khwenyekha khukobosele bakhurumire likhuwa. Ewe wamwene welanga oli naanu?” 23#Isa. 40.3 Yoana aabakobosia mu khurumikhira kamakhuwa niko omung'oosi Isaya aaloma:
“Ese ndi kumumilo kwo mundu oboola ne ali mu sichiimi ali,
‘Kololosia engila Omwami abirirekho.’ ”
24Barumwa barumirwe ne Bafarisayo, 25bareeba Yoana bali, “Waaba ne okhali Kristo, namwe Elicha namwe omung'oosi tawe, siina sikila ne obatiisia?” 26Yoana aabakobosia ali, “Ese mbatiisia ne kameechi, ne kakhali omundu mulala aamwimilemo niye enywe mukhamanyile tawe. 27Alikho echa enyuma wase, ne ese se nolaana aakhaba khukangulula biraaro biewe tawe.” 28Kano koosi kakholekha mu Betania, ebukwe we luluuchi lwa Yoritani, niio Yoana aabatiisilianga.

39Abakobosia ali, “Yiicha mubone.” (Chaba embi chisa ekhumi che ekolooba.) Nio bacha naye babona niio amenya mala bekhala naye endaalo eyo yoosi. 40Mulala khwaabo aba Andereya wandaaye owa Simoni Petero. 41Ao ne nao anyoola wandaaye Simoni mala amuboolela ali, “Khwanyoolile Masiiya.” (Masiiya liboola, “Kristo.”) 42Mala ayila Simoni khu Yesu.
Yesu alola Simoni mala aloma ali, “Lisina liowo lili Simoni okhwa Yoana, ne kakhali okhalangwe Kefa.” (Lisina Kefa nilio Petero sifuno sialio “Lulwanda.”)
Yesu alaanga Filipo ne Natanieli
43Endaalo eloondakho Yesu arura khucha Kalilaya. Anyoola Filipo mala amuboolela ali, “Nondekho!” 44Filipo aba ama mu Betesaita, mu lukoba nimwo Andereya ne Petero bamenya. 45Filipo anyoola Natanieli mala amuboolela ali, “Khwanyoolile oyo niye Musa aandikakho mu sitabu sie Lilaka, bang'oosi bosi baandika khu makhuwa kewe. Ali Yesu okhwa Yosefu, khukhwama e Nasareti.”
46Natanieli naye areeba ali, “Silayi siosi siosi sinyala siama Nasareti ku?” Filipo akobosia ali, “Yiicha mala obone.”
47Nga Yesu ne abona Natanieli namwichakho aboolela Natanieli ali, “Lola Omuisiraeli wa ng'ali okhalimo bubacha tawe!” 48Natanieli amureeba ali, “Umanyile oriena?” Yesu akobosia ali, “Khubone nga obeele ne wikhaale aasi we kumutuli Filipo nakhakhulaanga tawe.”
49Natanieli amukobosia ali, “Omwekisia, ewe oli Omwana owa Wele! Ewe oli Omwami owa Isiraeli!”
50Yesu amukobosia ali, “Ewe osuubila sikila namakhuloma ndi khubone ne wikhaale aasi we kumutuli? Olabona bibiindu bikali biboofu khukhila lino!” 51#Lir. 28.12 Mala ababoolela ali, Ndikho muboolela bung'ali mulabona likulu liekuukhe mala Malaika ba Wele baniina ne beekha khu Mwana wo Mundu.
