1 Pandanda jwapali Maloŵe. Maloŵejo jwaliji ni Mlungu, soni Maloŵejo jwaliji mpela Mlungu.* 2 Jwalakweju jwaliji ni Mlungu kutandila pandanda. 3 Yindu yosope yapanganyidwe kupitila mwa jwalakwejo, soni pangali chindu atamose chimo chachapanganyidwe ngapitila mwa jwalakwejo.
4 Umi wapanganyidwe kupitila mwa jwalakwejo, soni umiwo waŵele lilanguka kwa ŵandu. 5 Lilangukalyo likuŵala m’chipi, nambo chipicho chilepele kuligomeka lilangukalyo.
6 Papali mundu jwine juŵatumidwe ni Mlungu. Munduju lina lyakwe lyaliji Yohane. 7 Mundu jweleju jwayiche mpela mboni ni chakulinga chakuti atendele umboni ya lilanguka, kuti ŵandu ŵamitundu josope akulupilile kupitila mwa jwalakwejo. 8 Jwalakwejo nganaŵa lilanguka lila, nambo ŵamtumisye kuti atendele umboni ya lilangukalyo.
9 Lilanguka lisyesyene lyalikusamulichila ŵandu ŵamitundu josope lyaliji lili lisigele panandi kwika m’chilambo. 10 Jwalakwe* jwayiche m’chilambo, soni chilambo chapanganyidwe kupitila mwa jwalakwejo, nambo chilambocho nganichimmanyililaga. 11 Jwalakwe jwayiche kumangwakwe, nambo ŵandu ŵakumangwakwewo nganampochela. 12 Nambo kwa wosope ŵaŵampochele jwalakwejo, ŵapele upile wakuti aŵe ŵanache ŵa Mlungu ligongo ŵakulupililaga mu lina lyakwe. 13 Jemanjaji ŵapagwile ngaŵaga kupitila m’myasi kapena mwakusaka kwa mundu, nambo ŵapagwile mpela ŵanache ŵa Mlungu.
14 Myoyo Maloŵe jula jwaŵele mundu* soni jwatamaga ni m’weji. Nambosoni m’weji twawuweni uchimbichimbi wakwe, uchimbichimbi wakusapochela mwanache jumopejo kutyochela kwa atati ŵakwe. Jwalakwejo jwagumbele ni umbone mtima wekulungwa soni ndaŵi syosope jwaŵechetaga yakuwona. 15 (Yohane jwatendele umboni yakwamba jwalakwejo. Ŵaŵechete mwagumila kuti, “Aju ni mundu junamsalaga jula kuti, ‘Panyuma pangu pakwika mundu jwamkulungwa kumbunda une, pakuŵa jwalakwejo jwapali une mkanimbagwe.’”) 16 Ligongo lyakuti jwalakwejo jwagumbele ni umbone mtima wekulungwa, m’weji tukupitilisyape kuwupochela. 17 Pakuŵa Chilamusi chayiche kupitila mwa Mose, myoyosoni umbone mtima wekulungwa soni yisyesyene yayiche kupitila mwa Yesu Klistu. 18 Pangali mundu juŵam’weni Mlungu chitandilile. Nambo mwanache jumopejo jwali mpela Mlungu, jwele ali pambali pa Atati ni juŵasasile chenene ya Jwalakwejo.
19 Ayuda ŵatumisye ŵakutaga mbopesi soni Alefi kutyochela ku Yelusalemu kuti akamwusye Yohane kuti, “Ana mmweji mli ŵani?” 20 Jwalakwejo nganakana kwanga chiwusyochi nambo ŵasalile jemanjajo mwakusimichisya kuti, “Une nganimba Klistu.” 21 Pelepo jemanjajo ŵamwusisye jwalakwejo kuti, “Sambano mli ŵani? Ana mli Eliya?” Jwalakwejo jwajanjile kuti, “Nganimba.” Ŵamwusisyesoni kuti “Ana kapena mli Jwakulochesya?” Jwalakwe jwajanjile kuti, “Iyayi!” 22 Myoyo jemanjajo ŵatite, “Sambano mli ŵani kusyesyene? Mtusalile kuti tukajanje ŵandu ŵatutumile. Ana mmwejo mkusati mli ŵani?” 23 Jwalakwejo ŵajanjile kuti, “Une ndili mundu jwakugumila m’chipululu kuti, ‘Ajongole litala lya Yehofa!’ Mwakamulana ni yajwaŵechete jwakulochesya Yesaya.” 24 Ŵandu ŵaŵayiche kukuwusya yiwusyoŵa ŵatumidwe ni Afalisi. 25 Myoyo ŵamwusisyesoni kuti, “Sambano ligongo chichi mkusabatisyaga ŵandu naga nganimŵa Klistu kapena Eliya kapenasoni Jwakulochesya?” 26 Yohane ŵajanjile jemanjajo kuti, “Une ngusabatisya ŵandu ni mesi. Nambo pana jwine jwajimi pasikati penu jwele jemanja ngamkummanyilila. 27 Jwalakweju akwika panyuma pangu, soni une nganimba jwakuŵajilwa kugopola ngonji sya sapato syakwe.” 28 Yeleyi yatendechele ku Betaniya, mbali ja kungopokolyuŵa kwa lusulo lwa Yolodani kwele Yohane ŵabatisyaga ŵandu.
29 Lisiku lyakuyichisya Yohane ŵam’weni Yesu ali mkwika kwa jwalakwe. Myoyo Yohanejo jwatite, “Alole, Mwanache Jwangondolo jwa Mlungu jwakutyosya ulemwa wa chilambo! 30 Aju ni mundu junamsalaga jula kuti, ‘Panyuma pangu pakwika mundu jwamkulungwa kumbunda une, pakuŵa jwalakwejo jwapali une mkanimbagwe.’ 31 Atamose uneji nganinammanyililaga jwalakweju. Nambo ligongo lyanayichile kukwabatisya ŵandu ni mesi lyaliji lyakuti jwalakweju awonechele kwa Ayisalayeli.” 32 Yohane ŵapeleche umboni winesoni kuti, “Nawuweni msimu uli mkwika mpela ngunda kutyochela kwinani, ni wajimi pa jwalakwejo. 33 Uneji nganinammanyililaga jwalakweju. Nambo Jwele juŵandumile kuti ngabatisyeje ŵandu ni mesi ŵasalile kuti, ‘Chimchiwuwona msimu uli mkwika ni kwima pa mundu, jwelejo ni jwakusabatisyaga ni msimu weswela.’ 34 Une nawuweni msimuwo, soni ngupeleka umboni wakuti jwalakweju ali Mwanache jwa Mlungu.”
35 Palisiku lyakuyichisya, Yohane ŵajimi ni ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵaŵili, 36 kaneko ŵam’weni Yesu ali mkwenda. Pelepo Yohane ŵatite, “Alole, Mwanache Jwangondolo jwa Mlungu!” 37 Ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵaŵili ŵala paŵapikene yeleyi, ŵatandite kumkuya Yesu. 38 Kaneko Yesu paŵagalawiche ni kwawona jemanjajo ali mkumkuya, ŵawusisye kuti, “Ana mkusaka chichi?” Jemanjajo ŵatite, “Labi (kugopolela kuti, “Mwalimu”), ana akutama kwapi?” 39 Jwalakwe ŵasalile jemanjajo kuti, “Kwende mkakulole.” Myoyo jemanjajo ŵapite kuja kukulola kwakutama jwalakwejo, soni ŵatemi najo lisiku lyelelyo. Paŵajawulaga kweleko ndaŵi jaliji cha mma 4 koloko* ligulo. 40 Jumo mwa ŵakulijiganya ŵaŵili ŵala ŵaŵapikene yaŵaŵechete Yohane ni kumkuya Yesu jwaliji Andileya. Jwalakweju jwaliji mlongo mjakwe Simoni Petulo. 41 Andileya paŵatyosile kweleko, mundu jwandanda kusimana najo ŵaliji Simoni mlongo mjakwe jula, ni ŵamsalile kuti, “M’we tumpatile Mesiya” (kugopolela kuti, “Klistu”). 42 Kaneko jwalakwe ŵapite najo kwa Yesu. Yesu paŵagambile kumwona jwalakwejo, ŵatite, “Mmwejo mli Simoni, mwanache jwa Yohane, soni kutandila apano lina lyenu chiliŵe Kefa” (kugopolela kuti “Petulo”).
43 Lisiku lyakuyichisya Yesu ŵasakaga kwawula ku Galileya. Kaneko jwalakwe ŵasimene ni Filipo ni ŵamsalile kuti, “Mŵe jwakulijiganya jwangu.” 44 Filipo jwaliji jwakutyochela ku Betisaida, msinda wa kumangwakwe Andileya ni Petulo. 45 Kaneko Filipo ŵasimene ni Nataniyele ni ŵamsalile kuti, “M’we tumpatile mundu jula jwele Chilamusi cha Mose soni yakulemba ya ŵakulochesya yaŵechete ya jwalakwejo. Jwalakweju ali Yesu, mwanache jwa Yosefe, soni ali jwakutyochela ku Nasaleti.” 46 Nambo Nataniyele jwatite, “Ana mu Nasaleti mpaka mukopoche chilichose chambone?” Pelepo Filipo ŵamsalile jwalakwejo kuti, “Kwende mkalole.” 47 Yesu paŵam’weni Nataniyele ali mkwika kwa jwalakwejo, ŵatite, “Aju ni Myisalayeli jusyesyene jwele mwa jwalakwejo mwangali chinyengo.” 48 Nataniyele ŵamwusisye jwalakwejo kuti, “Akombwele chamtuli kumanyilila?” Yesu ŵamjanjile kuti, “Filipo mkanamŵilanje mmwejo, une nam’weni mli pasi pa chitela cha mkuju.” 49 Pelepo Nataniyele jwatite, “Labi, wawo ali Mwanache jwa Mlungu, soni ali Mwenye jwa Yisalayeli.” 50 Nambo Yesu jwatite, “Ana mkungulupilila ligongo lyakuti namsalile kuti nam’weni mmwejo mli pasi pa chitela cha mkuju? Chimchiyiwona yindu yekulungwa kupunda yeleyi.” 51 Kaneko Yesu jwaŵechete kuti, “Nditu ngumsalichisya jemanja kuti, chimchikuwona kwinani kuli kuwugwiche soni malayika ga Mlungu gali mkutuluchila kwa Mwanache jwa mundu ni kukwelaga kwinani.”
