Vaachokhonlhe aya chittu chonkhaye chihinoopiya, Nlhove ahaawo, ni uyo aari ni Nlhuku, ni uyo aari Nlhuku. Toka vaachokhonlhe aya Nlhove aari vamoka ni Nlhuku. Nlhuku voopilhe awe chittu chonkhaye ahaawo, khiiwo iriyoothe yoopiye wo uhikhalha yoyo. Nlhove phi aari machokholhelho o ukumi ni uyo ukumi uyo nkawaawiha nthuko wa attu. Nthuko waamwalhelha mwiipiphini, ni ipiphi khayoonrie utipiha yoyo nthuko uyo.
Nlhuku ahonruma karumiya awe, eehaniya Yohana, aawilhe uhimiechesha wa attu mwaha wo yoyo nthuko uyo, attu eewe ni urumelhelha. Nayohana khayaari yoyo nthuko uyo, nansho aawilhe uhimiechesha wa attu mwaha wo yoyo nthuko uyo. Yolha phi nthuko we ikekhiaye, nthuko unowa velhaponi ni wamwalhelha attu onkhaye.
Paahi Nlhove ahaawo velhaponi, ni wo iphiro awe ilhapo yahoopiya, nansho inakhalhaka chiicho, attu o velhaponi khanchuwenlhe. Aawilhe velhaponi vawe mwanene, nansho attu awawe khayampochenre. Akina, nansho, ampochenre ni unrumelhelha, yayo ahaavaha ikuru yo ukhalha ashaana a Nlhuku phi alhe arumelhenlhe nchina nawe. Ahikhalhaka ashaana a Nlhuku wo iphiro thoko cho uyariya ni ntu, mena mattunelho a ntu, Nlhuku mwanene phi ari athumwanaya.
Yoyo Nlhove uyo nkaakhalha ntu, nkaakhalha uwanihu. Ni hii nahoona nthimicho wawe, nthimicho wawe yoyo ri Mwaana o vekhawe a Nlhuku chanre nnema ni ikeekhene.
Nayohana nkayaahimiechesha wa attu mwaha wawe. Nkayaakhuwelha eeraka, “Yolha phi ulhe kanhimianche aka venre aka wiira, ‘Noowa ntu mmoka vatulhi waka, ri mulhupalhe ukipwaha mii, ukhalhawaya ahaawo kihinayariaa.’ ”
Wo nnema wawe mwinchi, hiyaano onkhaye nihopochera mpuha umpwaha mpuha uvinre. Nlhuku ahonivaha Malhehero wo iphiro ya ashinna Musa, nansho nnema ni ikeekhene chihoniweelha wo iphiro ya Yesu Kuristo. Khaawo ntu mwonne Nlhuku ikatema iriyoothe. Mwaana vekha awe, aakhalha vamoka ni Nlhuku, phi nichuwelhinhe Athithi.


Wu phi uhimiechesha u Nayohana, ikatema ahoolhelhi a Ayahudi o Yerusalemu vaarumme aya opochera ishaani ni Alawi u Nayohana yaakohe wiira, “Inyuva phi apani?”
Nayohana khakhonte waakhulha, nkayeera wo uhivitha wiira, “Miyaano kakihena Kuristo Moopolhi a attu.”
Vavawo nkayaakohiya tho, “Inyuva phi apani etu? Chani inyuva phi Naeliya?”
Nayohana nkaakhulha, “Akihena mii.”
Nkayaakohiya tho, “Chani inyuva phi anamilhohi alhe anowehereriya uwa uuromolhani nihuku no uwa Masiya?”
Nkaakhulha “Akihena mii.”
Nkayaakohiya tho, “Paahi etu inyuva phi apani? Nnihimerieke mwaanene nlhove nowahimeria anirumme.”
Nayohana nkaakhulha, “Miyaano phi yolhe anamilhohi ashinna Isaya aahimmie aya yeeraka,
‘Nlhove na ntu niheewaniya muuthakoni,
Chookolhiye iphiro cho uvira Athithi!’ ”
Yayo akarumiya yaarumiye ni nlhoko wa Amafarisayo ayo, nkayaakoha Nayohana, “Yakhalhaka inyuva kanhena Kuristo, kanhena Naeliya ni vavawo kanhena anamilhohi, woonaka nnowaabatiiza attu?”
Nayohana nkayaakhulha, “Miyaano kinaabatiiza attu wo maashi, nansho hawo mmoka eemenlhe munlhokoni mwinyu mwaattiva nhinaaya unchuwelha. Yoyo nowa utulhi waka, nansho mii kihiphwanelhiyaka inakhalhaka uthaphulha miripwe cho iratu chawe.”
Yoyo mwaha uyo waakhumelhenlhe Ubethaniya, unosha nchuwa ukhopelhelhe mwolhoko wo Uyorodani, Nayohana vaari aya aabatiizaka attu.

Waashelhe waya, Nayohana ahomwoona Yesu awaaka, nkayeera, “Ulha phi Mwaana o Khondoro a Nlhuku nothamiha uwonya wa attu. Yolha phi ulhe kanhimianche aka wiira, ‘Utulhi waka nowa ntu mmoka ri mulhupalhe ukipwaha mii, ukhalhawaya ahaawo mii kihinayariaa.’ Miyaano kimwanene akanchuwenlhe, nansho kiwiilhe uwabatiiza attu wo maashi ikhalhe wiira attu o Uisraeli anchuwelhe.”
Nayohana nkayaahimiechesha eeraka, “Kahomwoona Iphumu ya Nlhuku akhuruwaka thoko kaulha ukhuma wiirimu ni ukorelha vanikhathani vawe. Miyaano akanchuwenlhe, nansho Nlhuku kirumme kaabatiize attu wo maashi ahokihimeria wiira, ‘Ulhe ntu nnohalha inyu umwoona akhuruwelhiyaka ni Iphumu ya Nlhuku ni unkorelha vanikhathani vawe, yoyo phi ntu naabatiiza attu wo Iphumu ya Nlhuku.’ Nayohana nkayeera, kihoona, ni mii kihimiecheshe vano wiira yolha phi Mwaana a Nlhuku.”

Waashelhe waya, Nayohana aari vavawo tho vamoka ni owiittucha aya elhi. Vaamwonne aya Yesu aviraka nkayeera, “Mmwooneke! Ulha phi Mwaana o Khondoro a Nlhuku.”
Owiittucha aheewa Nayohana voolhumacha aya yayo malhove ayo, nkayanttwaracha Yesu. Yesu nkaarukunuwa, nkoona owiittucha a Nayohana anttwaraka, nkaakoha, “Nnaaviani?”
Ni ayo nkayaakhulhacha “Rabi, nnokhalha vayi?” Rabi maana aya, “Owiittuchiha.”
Yesu nkaakhulha, “Mmweeke ni inyu nnowoona.” Vavawo waari uchechilho, paahi etu owiittucha ayo nkayaarwaa nkayoona vaakhalha awe, nkayankhalhana uwannyawe nenno nihuku nno.
Naandorea ahima aya Nasimoni Peturo yaari amoka ya attu elhi yeewilhe Nayohana voolhumacha aya, nkayanttwara Yesu. Vahiphincheru Naandorea nkayaakumaana Nasimoni ahima aya, nkayaahimeria wiira, “Nihomwoona Masiya.” Masiya maana aya Kuristo, Moopolhi. Nkayaavelhelha Nasimoni wa Yesu,
Yesu nkaaweha Nasimoni nkeera, “Inyuva phi Nasimoni mwaana a Nayohana, nansho vano nnohalha wiihaniya Kefa.” Ukhalhawaya we Iyunani nenno nchina nno phi Peturo maana aya mwalha.

Waashelhe waya Yesu nkoona mbaya arwee Ugalilaya. Nkaaphwanya Nafilipo nkeerelha, “Nkittware!” Nafilipo aari anenchi o Ubethsaida, iwani yaakhalha aya Naandorea ni Napeturo. Nafilipo ni ayo nkaaphwanya Nanathanieli, nkaahimeria, “Nihomwoona ulhe ashinna Musa anromonlhe aya nhina ikitabu yo Malhehero, ni anamilhohi alhepaka nttenga wawe. Yoyo phi Yesu mwaana a Nayusufu, o Unazareti.”
Nanathanieli nkayaakoha Nafilipo, “Ittu yoombone inowooria ukhuma Unazareti?”
Nafilipo nkayaakhulha, “Mmwe mwoona.”
Yesu vonne aya Nanathanieli awaaka nkeera, “Mmwooneke! Yolha phi Mwiisraeli mwanenene, khiiwo ittu innananre nhina mwawe!”
Nanathanieli nkayankoha, “Nkichuwenlhe chani?”
Yesu nkaakhulha, “Vaari inyu wuthi nkhuyu Nafilipo ahinaya uwihanani kahowoonani.”
Vavawo Nanathanieli nkayaamwakhulha Yesu eeraka, “Owiittuchiha, inyuva phi Mwaana a Nlhuku! Inyuva phi Amwene o Uisraeli!”
Yesu nkeerelha, “Chani nnorumelhelha ukhalhawaya kihouhimeriani wiira kahowoonani vaari inyu wuthi nkhuyu? Nnowa mwoona moolhupalhe upwaha alha!” Yesu nkaahimeria onkhaye wiira, “Kinouhimeriani ikekhiaye, nnowoona irimu chihulhiaka ni minepa cha Nlhuku chiwelhaka ni ukhuruwa vachulhu vawe Mwaana a Ntu.”
