1 Kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ Ũhoro aarĩ o kuo, nake Ũhoro aatũũrĩte na Ngai, na Ũhoro aarĩ Ngai.
Kumatalikilo kwakali Ijwi, mpawo Ijwi wakali aaLeza, aboobo Ijwi wakali Leza.
2 We aatũũrĩte na Ngai kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria.
Ooyu wakali aaLeza kumatalikilo.
3 Indo ciothe ciombirwo na ũndũ wake; gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩa iria ciombirwo kĩagĩire atarĩ ho.
Zyoonse zintu zyakaanzwa kwiindila mulinguwe, alimwi naatali nguwe nekutakwe chomwe chakaanzwa.
4 Thĩinĩ wake kwarĩ muoyo, naguo muoyo ũcio nĩguo warĩ ũtheri wa andũ.
Mulinguwe momwakali buumi, alimwi buumi oobo bwakali mumuni wabantu.
5 Ũtheri ũcio nĩũtheraga nduma-inĩ, nayo nduma ndĩigana kũũhoota.
Imumuni ulamunika mumudima, alimwi mudima tuuzundide pe.
6 Nĩguokire mũndũ watũmĩtwo nĩ Ngai; eetagwo Johana.
Kwakali mwaalumi wakatumidwe kuzwa kuli Leza, zina lyakwe wakali Joni.
7 We okire arĩ mũira oimbũre ũhoro ũkoniĩ ũtheri ũcio, nĩgeetha andũ othe metĩkie nĩ ũndũ wake.
Wakazide mbuli kamboni kuzoolungulula aatala amumuni, kuti boonse basyome kwiinda mulinguwe.
8 We mwene tiwe warĩ ũtheri ũcio, no okire arĩ o ta mũira tu nĩgeetha oimbũre ũhoro wa ũtheri ũcio.
Joni taakali mumuni pe, pesi wakazide kuzoopa bukamboni aatala amumuni.
9 Ũtheri ũcio wa ma, ũrĩa ũtheragĩra o mũndũ o wothe, nĩwokaga thĩ.
Imumuni wamasimpe, uumunikila bantu boonse, wakalikuyobuza munyika.
10 We Ũhoro aarĩ gũkũ thĩ, no o na gũtuĩka thĩ yombirwo na ũndũ wake-rĩ, andũ a thĩ matiigana kũmũmenya.
Wakali munyika, inyika yakaanzwa kwiinda mulinguwe, aboobo inyika teyakamuziba pe.
11 Okire gwake mwene, no andũ ake mwene matiigana kũmwĩtĩkĩra.
Wakaza kulibakwe mwini, alimwi ibakwe mwini tebakamutambula pe.
12 No andũ arĩa othe maamwĩtĩkĩrire, o acio metĩkirie rĩĩtwa rĩake, nĩamahotithirie gũtuĩka ciana cia Ngai
Pesi kuli boonse bakamutambula, ibakasyoma muzina lyakwe, wakabapa cheelelo chakuba bana ba Leza.
13 ciana itaciarĩtwo nĩ thakame, kana igaciarwo nĩ kwenda kwa mwĩrĩ kana kwenda kwa mũndũ, no iciarĩtwo nĩ kwenda kwa Ngai.
Aaba tebakazyalwa ku bulowa, nanka kukuyanda kwanyama, nanka kukuyanda kwa mwaalumi, pesi kukuyanda kwa Leza.
14 We Kiugo agĩtuĩka mũndũ na agĩtũũrania na ithuĩ. Nĩtuonete riiri wake, riiri wa Mũrũ wake wa Mũmwe, ũrĩa woimire kũrĩ Ithe aiyũrĩtwo nĩ ũtugi na ũhoro wa ma.
Ijwi wakaba mubili akupona aakati kesu. Twakabona bulemu bwakwe, bulemu bubaanga mbubwayooyo omwe alimwi alike wakazwa kuli Taata, uuzwide luzyalo a bwini.
15 Johana nĩoimbũraga ũhoro wake. Aanagĩrĩra akoiga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe ũrĩa ndaaragia ũhoro wake ngiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũrĩa ũgũũka thuutha wakwa nĩ mũnene kũngĩra, tondũ aarĩ mbere yakwa.’”
Joni wakamupeda bukamboni akukwiila nkati, “Ooyu ngonguwe ngundakali kuti, 'Ooyo uuza musule lyaangu mupati kwiinda ndime, nkaambo mutaanzi kulindime.'”
16 Na kuuma ũiyũrĩrĩru wa ũtugi wake-rĩ, ithuothe nĩtwamũkĩrĩte irathimo nyingĩ mũno.
Nkaambo kuzwa mukuzulila kwakwe toonse twakatambula luzyalo kuzwa ku luzyalo.
17 Tondũ watho wokire na Musa, no ũtugi na ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma ciokire na Jesũ Kristũ.
Nkaambo mulawu wakapegwa kwiinda kuli Musa. Luzyalo a bwini zyakaza muli Jesu Kkilisito.
18 Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩ ona Ngai, o tiga Mũrũ wake wa Mũmwe ũrĩa ũikarĩte hamwe na Ithe, na nĩwe ũtũmĩte amenyeke.
Tawo pe wakali wabona Leza. Leza uumwi alike, uulikubbazu lya Taata, wakachita kuti Leza azibikane.
19 Na rĩrĩ, ũyũ nĩguo ũira wa Johana hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Ayahudi a Jerusalemu maamũtũmĩire athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii makamũũrie we aarĩ ũ.
Oobu mbobukamboni bwa Joni eelyo ma Juda nibakatuma bapayizi a baLevi kulinguwe kuzwa ku Jelusalema kuyomubuzya kuti, “Nduweni?”
20 We ndaagire kuumbũra, no oimbũrire atekũhitha, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ti niĩ Kristũ.”
Wakaamba - teensi wakakaka pe, pesi wakaamba - “Teensi ndime Kkilisito pe.”
21 Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee ũkĩrĩ ũ? Wee nĩwe Elija?” Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Aca, ti niĩ.” Ningĩ makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩwe Mũnabii ũrĩa?” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Aca.”
Eelyo bakamubuzisisya, “Nduweni mpo? Nduwe Elayija na?” Wakati, “Nsilinguwe pe.” Bakati, “Ulimusinsimi na?” Wakasandula wati, “Pe.”
22 Mũthia-inĩ makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee ũkĩrĩ ũ? Tũhe macookio nĩguo tũcookerie arĩa matũtũmire. Ũkuuga atĩa ha ũhoro waku mwene?”
Mpawo bakayi kulinguwe, “Nduweni, kuchitila kuti tukape nsandulo kulibabo bakatutuma? Ulityeni nomwini?”
23 Johana akĩmacookeria na ciugo iria ciarĩtio nĩ mũnabii Isaia, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩ mũgambo wa mũndũ ũranĩrĩra werũ-inĩ akoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Rũngariai njĩra ya Mwathani.’”
Wakati, “Ndili jwi, lyoompolola munkanda: 'Mululamike inzila ya Mwaami; mbuli Isaya musinsimi mbwakaamba.”
24 Na rĩrĩ, Afarisai amwe arĩa maatũmĩtwo
Lino bamwi benkamu ya baFalisi bakatumwa,
25 makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo we tiwe Kristũ, na tiwe Elija, o na kana Mũnabii ũrĩa-rĩ, ũkĩbatithanagia nĩkĩ?”
mpawo bakabuzya kulinguwe nkabati, “Nkaambonzi nobbabbatizya na kotali Kkilisito na Elayija na musinsimi?”
26 Nake Johana akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩmũbatithagia na maaĩ. No gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu nĩ harĩ na ũmwe mũtooĩ.
Joni wakabasandula, wati, “Ime ndibbabbatizya aamanzi. Pesi aakati kenu kwiimvwi uumwi ngomutazi.
27 Ũcio nĩwe ũgũũka thuutha wakwa, o we ũrĩa itaagĩrĩire kuohora ndigi cia iraatũ ciake.”
Ngonguwe uyoobuza musule lyangu, ngwesikonzyi kwaangununa ntambo yansangu zyakwe.”
28 Maũndũ maya mothe mekĩkire itũũra-inĩ rĩa Bethania, mũrĩmo wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, kũrĩa Johana aabatithanagĩria.
Eezi zintu zyakachitwa mu Bbetani mutal aa Jodani, ooko Joni nkwakali kubbabbatizya.
29 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ, Johana akĩona Jesũ agĩũka na kũrĩ we, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Onei! Gatũrũme ka Ngai karĩa keheragia mehia ma kĩrĩndĩ!
Nebwakacha Joni wakabona Jesu nkayobuza kulinguwe mpawo wamwaambila kuti, “Langa, ngoyu mwana wembelele wa Leza uuugwisya zibi zyanyika! Ooyu ngonguwe ngundakali kuti,
30 Ũyũ nĩwe ndaaragia ũhoro wake rĩrĩa ndoigire atĩrĩ, ‘Mũndũ ũrĩa ũgũũka thuutha wakwa nĩ mũnene kũrĩ niĩ tondũ we aarĩ kuo mbere yakwa.’
“Ooyo uuza musule lyangu mupati kwiinda ndime.'
31 Niĩ mwene ndiamũũĩ, no ndokire ngĩbatithanagia na maaĩ nĩgeetha aguũrĩrio andũ a Isiraeli.”
Teensi ndakalimwizi p, pesi kuti ayubununwe kuli Izilayeli nchenchicho nchendakaza nkebbabbatizya amanzi.”
32 Ningĩ Johana akĩheana ũira ũyũ: “Nĩndonire Roho agĩikũrũka kuuma igũrũ atariĩ ta ndutura, agĩikara igũrũ rĩake.
Joni wakapa bukamboni nkati, “Ndabona Muuya nkaseluka mbuli nziba kuzwa kujulu akukkala alinguwe.
33 Niĩ ndingĩamũmenyire, tiga ũrĩa wandũmire mbatithanagie na maaĩ aanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Mũndũ ũrĩa ũkoona Roho agĩikũrũkĩra na aikare igũrũ rĩake-rĩ, ũcio nĩwe ũkaabatithanagia na Roho Mũtheru.’
Tendamwizi pe, pesi ooyo wakandituma kubbabbatizya mumaanzi wandibuzya kuti, “Ali yooyo ngotabone Muuya kaseluka akukkala aalinguwe, ngonguwe uubbabbatizya muMuuya Uusalala.'
34 Niĩ nĩnyonete ũguo na ngoimbũra atĩ ũyũ nĩwe Mũrũ wa Ngai.”
Ndabona aantomwe akupa bukamboni kuti ooyu Mwaana waLeza.”
35 Ningĩ mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ, Johana agĩkorwo arĩ kũu o rĩngĩ marĩ na arutwo ake eerĩ.
Alubo, zuba lyakatobela, aawo Joni kayimvwi abasikwiiya bakwe babili,
36 Na rĩrĩa onire Jesũ akĩhĩtũka, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Onei Gatũrũme ka Ngai!”
bakabona Joni Jesu kayobweend, mpawo Joni wakati, “Amubone, Mbelele ya Leza!”
37 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa arutwo acio eerĩ maiguire oiga ũguo, makĩrũmĩrĩra Jesũ.
Basikwiiya bakwe bobile bakamumvwa nkawamba oobu mpawo bakatobela Jesu.
38 Jesũ ehũgũra akĩmoona mamumĩte thuutha, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ atĩa mũrenda?” Nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rabii” (ũguo nĩ kuuga Mũrutani), “ũikaraga kũ?”
Mpawo Jesu wakacheba wababona nkabayobumutobela eelyo wakabaambila kuti, “Muyandaayi?” Bakasandula, “Rabbi” (chitolekelwa kuti “Muyiisi”), “Ukkala kuli?”
39 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũkai na nĩmũkuona.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩthiĩ makĩona kũrĩa aikaraga, na magĩikara nake mũthenya ũcio. Na kwarĩ ta thaa ikũmi.
Wakabaambila kuti, “Musike muzoobone.” Mpawo bakayinka akuyoobona aawo mpakali kukkala, bakakkala anguwe zuba eelyo, nkaambo lyakali hola lyakkumi.
40 Na rĩrĩ, ũmwe wa arutwo acio eerĩ arĩa maiguĩte ũrĩa Johana oigĩte na makĩrũmĩrĩra Jesũ aarĩ Anderea, mũrũ wa nyina na Simoni Petero.
Umwi wababili aaba wakamvwa Joni nkawambuula mpawo akutobela Jesu wakali Endulo, ngubazyalwa kumwi a Sayimoni Pita.
41 Ũndũ wa mbere ũrĩa Anderea eekire nĩgũcaria mũrũ wa nyina Simoni, na kũmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩtuonete Mesia” (nĩwe Kristũ).
Wakasanguna kubonana amwana wakwabo Sayimoni akumwaambila kuti, “Twamubona Mesiya” (chitolekelwa kut, Kkilisito).
42 Nake akĩmũtwara kũrĩ Jesũ. Nake Jesũ akĩmũrora, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Simoni mũrũ wa Johana. Ũgũcooka gwĩtwo Kefa” (na rĩo rĩgĩtaũrwo nĩ kuuga Petero).
Wakamweeta kuli Jesu aboobo Jesu wakamulanga akwaamba kuti, “Nduwe Sayimoni mwana wa Joni. Uyooyitwa kuti Sifasi” (chitolekeledwe: Pita).
43 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ Jesũ agĩtua itua rĩa gũthiĩ Galili. Agĩkora Filipu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nũmĩrĩra.”
Nebwakacha, aawo Jesu nakali kuyanda kuya ku Galilaya, wakajana Filipi mpawo wakamwaambila kuti, “Nditobele.”
44 Filipu, o ta Petero na Anderea, aarĩ wa itũũra rĩa Bethisaida.
Eelyo Filipi wakalikuzwa ku Bbetisayida, idolopo lyaba Endulo a Pita.
45 Filipu agĩkora Nathanieli, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩtuonete mũndũ ũrĩa Musa aandĩkire ũhoro wake Ibuku-inĩ rĩa Watho, na nowe anabii maandĩkire ũhoro wake, nake nĩwe Jesũ wa Nazarethi, mũrũ wa Jusufu.”
Filipi wakajana Nataniyeli mpawo wamwaambila kuti, “Ooyo Mozesi ngwakalemba mumulawu, aba Sinsimi, twamubona: Jesu mwana wa Josefa, uuzwa ku Nazaleta.”
46 Nake Nathanieli akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Kũrĩ kĩndũ kĩega kĩngiuma Nazarethi?” Nake Filipu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũka ũkoone.”
Nataniyeli wakati kulinguwe, “Kuli chintu chibotu na chikonzya kuzwa mu Nazaleta?” Filipi wakati kulinguwe, “Kweza alimwi ubone.”
47 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jesũ onire Nathanieli agĩũka kũrĩ we, akĩaria ũhoro wake, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Onei Mũisiraeli kũna ũtarĩ ũhinga.”
Jesu wakabona Nataniyeli kayobuza kulinguwe mpawo waamba kuti aatala anguwe, “Bona, mu Izilayeli wamasimpe, utakwe lweeno!”
48 Nake Nathanieli akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũnjũũĩ atĩa?” Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũkuonete o na rĩrĩa uuma rungu rwa mũkũyũ, Filipu atanagwĩta.”
Nataniyeli wakati kulinguwe, “Wandiziba biyeni?” Jesu wakasandula akwaamba kuti kulinguwe, “Nkatanakukwiita Filipi, nkoli munsi aamukkuyu, ndalikubwene.”
49 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Nathanieli akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rabii, wee nĩwe Mũrũ wa Ngai; wee nĩwe Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.”
Nataniyeli wakasandula, “Rabbi, uli mwana wa Leza! Uli Mwaami wa Izilayeli!”
50 Nake Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Wetĩkia tondũ nĩndakwĩra atĩ nĩnguonire ũrĩ rungu rwa mũkũyũ. Nĩũkuona maũndũ manene kũrĩ macio.”
Jesu wakamusandula nkati, “Nkaambo kakuti ndati kulinduwe, 'Ndakubona koli munsi aamukkuyu; ulasyoma na? Uchizoobona zintu zipati kwiinda eezi.”
51 Ningĩ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, nĩmũkona igũrũ rĩhingũkĩte na araika a Ngai makĩambata na magĩikũrũka, harĩ Mũrũ wa Mũndũ.”
Mpawo wakati, “Nchobeni, ndakwaambila kasimpe, uyoobona julu nkali julikide, abangelo ba Leza nkabatanta akuseluka aatala aMwana wa Muntu.
