I nghani yo wumi
1Ha mwamulizo i yinze lono yali yikali nawumbwa, I Nghani yali yali baho. Nayo I Nghani yali yali hamonga no Mulungu, i Nghani nayo yali Mulungu. 2Yuyo yali yali hamonga no Mulungu ku wulawa mwamulizo. 3Ivinhu vyose vyawumbilwa muli mwene, na hasina ciwumbwa cinji co cose cono cawumbwa, hono hasina mwene. 4U Mwene yali yo mwamulizo wo wumi; no wumi wuwo wali wuzelu we wanhu wose. 5No wuzelu wuwo wumulikaga mu wutitu, hamba wutitu si wuwusumaga yaye.
6U Mulungu yakamutuma munhu litagwa lyakwe Yohana. 7Yuyo yaza kuwalonjela wanhu zo wuzelu wuwo. Na so wuhomelezi wakwe, iwanhu wose ho wehuwile. 8U mwene Yohana, yo si yali wuwo wuzelu weneco, langa yaza du, ho yawalonjele wanhu zo wuzelu wuwo. 9Awu wo wuzelu we mbeka, u wuzelu wono wukuza mono yinze, no kuwamulicila wanhu wose. 10Ale, i Nghani yali mono yinze, ne yinze yawumbilwa muli mwene, ninga i yinze si yamutanga yaye. 11Yakaza mu yisi yakwe mweneco, ninga i wanhu wakwe si wamubocela yaye. 12Ninga wose wono wamubocela no kumwihuwila, yawapela i vilungo vyo kunozwa kuwa wana wo Mulungu. 13Wono si waleleywe mu vilungo vye cimunhu munhu, hamba mu vilungo vyo munhu, hamba mu wuhile wo munhu, langa u Mulungu mweneco yo Sogo yawo.
14I Nghani nayo yakawa munhu, yakekala mwetu. Nase cikayiwona i nhojo yakwe, i nhojo yakwe mwene mono mwana we ciwene wa Baba; yamemile lihewa ne mbeka. 15Yohana yakawalonjela wanhu zinghani zakwe, yakawalonjela kwe 'zi yiwaha yakutya, “Ayu yo mwene mono namulonga, lono natya, Yakuza munhu munyuma yangu, mono yo muwaha yanyhizize nene, ku soko mwene yali yali baho na lono ane nali nghali nalelwa.” 16Hambi mu wukwilanicile wakwe, nase mo cikubocelela lihewa lyakwe cibitilila. 17Hambi u Mulungu, nha yawulavya Wulajilize mu nzila ya Musa, ninga i lihewa ne mbeka, vyaziza mu nzila ya Yesu Kilisito. 18Hasina munhu mono yamuwona Mulungu hanji ho hose, u Mwana we ciwene mono wali sawa no Mulungu, mono vilunzize no Sogwe, yuyu yo yacimanyiza zo Mulungu.

Yo gwegwe Eliya lo?” Yohana yakatya, “Ng'o yo si nene.” Wakamuwuza, “Yo gwegwe muwizi yulya?” Yohana yakawapitula yakatya, “Ng'o yo si nene.” 22Nawo wakamuwuza “Alu gwegwe nani? Ukiyitya gwegwe nani? Ucilonjele ho ciwategulile lipitulo wono wacitumile.” 23Yohana yakatya, “Ane yo nene, mono muwizi Isaya yalonga.
‘Ane nili yizi lyono likuhulikwa ku nyika,

Ayo yo Mwiisilayeli we mbeka, mono yawusina wukonji wo wose muli mwene.” 48Nayo Nataneli yakamuwuza, yakatya, “Alo kumanya wule?” Yesu yakapitula yakamutya, “Lono wali wikaye he 'sina lyo mukuyu, na lono wali wukali nacemwa na Filipo, ane nali nakondya kukuwona.” 49Hobaho Nataneli yakamutya, “Mwijizi, yo gwegwe Mwana wo Mulungu, yo gwegwe Mutemi wa Isilayeli.” 50Yesu yapitula yakamutya, “Alo wukwihuwila vyono nghulonjeye, nakuwona he 'sina lyo mukuyu?
