Johani 1
1 Pakutanga pakanga pane Shoko, uye Shoko rakanga riri kuna Mwari, uye Shoko rakanga riri Mwari.
Panjiti lipaga kuweriti na Shisoweru, Shisoweru kaweriti pamuhera na Mlungu, nayomberi kaweriti Mlungu.
2 Iye aiva kuna Mwari kubva pakutanga.
Kwanjira kwanja Shisoweru kaweriti pamuhera na Mlungu.
3 Zvinhu zvose zvakaitwa kubudikidza naye; kunze kwake hakuna kana chinhu chakaitwa pane izvo zvakaitwa.
Kupitila shisoweru, Mlungu kawumbiti vintu vyoseri, kwahera ata shintu shimu shawashiwumbitwi pota nayomberi.
4 Maari maiva noupenyu, uye upenyu ihwohwo hwaiva chiedza chavanhu.
Shisoweru ndo shanzu sha makaliru na makaliru aga gajegiti weru kwa wantu.
5 Chiedza chinovhenekera murima, asi rima harina kuchikunda.
Uweru awu ulangala muntiti na ntiti hapeni izimiziyi uweru awu.
6 Pakanga pano murume akatumwa achibva kuna Mwari; zita rake rainzi Johani.
Mlungu kamtumiti mjumbi gwakuwi litawu lyakuwi Yohani,
7 Iye akauya sechapupu kuzopupurira chiedza chiya, kuitira kuti vanhu vatende kubudikidza naye.
Yakiziti kuwapitawulira wantu kuusu uweru awu, su woseri wapikiniriti ujumbi na wamijimiri.
8 Akanga asiri iye chiedza pachake; akauya chete ari sechapupu kuchiedza.
Yohani kaweriti ndiri uweru, ira kiziti hera kuwagambira wantu kuusu uweru awu.
9 Chiedza chezvokwadi chinovhenekera vanhu vose chainge chichizouya munyika.
Awu ndo weru wanakaka, weru wankwiza pasipanu, kuwawalira wantu woseri.
10 Akanga ari munyika, uye kunyange nyika yakaitwa kubudikidza naye, nyika haina kumuziva.
Shisoweru kaweriti pasipanu. Mlungu kanyawiti pasipanu kupitira Shisoweru, kumbiti wantu wa pasipanu wamumana ndiri.
11 Akauya kuna avo vakanga vari vake, asi vokwake havana kumugamuchira.
Kiziti muisi yakuwi mweni, kumbiti wantu wakuwi mweni wamuwanka ndiri.
12 Asi kuna vose vakamugamuchira, kuna avo vakatenda muzita rake, akavapa simba rokuti vave vana vaMwari,
Kumbiti wamonga yawamuwankiti na kumjimira, awa kawayupiti uwezu wa kuwera wana wa Mlungu.
13 vana vasina kuberekwa neropa kana nokufunga kwomunhu kana nokuda kwomurume, asi vakaberekwa naMwari.
Womberi waweriti ndiri wana wa Mlungu kwa uwezu wa wantu ama kwa makakala ga nshimba ama kwa kufira kwa muntu, ira Mlungu mweni kawatenditi waweri wana wakuwi.
14 Shoko rakava nyama uye rakagara pakati pedu. Takaona kubwinya kwake, kubwinya kwaIye Mumwe Oga, akabva kuna Baba, azere nenyasha uye nechokwadi.
Shisoweru kaweriti muntu, kalikaliti na twenga, kaweriti upendelewu nentu pamuhera na unakaka. Tuwoniti ukwisa wakuwi, ukwisa yakauwankiti, wa Mwana gwa gweka gwa Tati.
15 Johani anopupura nezvake. Anodanidzira achiti, “Uyu ndiye uya wandakati, ‘Anouya mumashure mangu anondipfuura ini nokuti akanditangira.’”
Yohani kawagambira wantu kuusu Shisoweru. Kabotanga, “Ayu ndo ulii yanumtakuliti shipindi pantakuliti, ‘Paneni kankwiza muntu yumu, yomberi ndo mkulu kuliku neni, toziya kaweriti kala neni naniyiwuki.’”
16 Kubva pakuzara kwake takagamuchira nyasha pamusoro penyasha.
Kulawira na upendelewu uvuwa wakuwi, katutekeleriti woseri, katupiti utekeleru na utekeleru.
17 Nokuti murayiro wakapiwa kubudikidza naMozisi; nyasha nezvokwadi zvakauya kubudikidza naJesu Kristu.
Mlungu katupiti Lilagaliru kupitira Musa, kumbiti upendelewu na unakaka viziti kupitira Yesu Kristu.
18 Hakuna akamboona Mwari, asi Mwanakomana Iye Mumwe Oga, ari pachipfuva chaBaba, akaita kuti azivikanwe.
Kwahera muntu yakamwoniti Mlungu. Kumbiti Mwana gwa gweka yakaweriti Mlungu na yakaweriti uwega wa Tati gwakuwi, ndo yakatenditi kamanikani.
19 Zvino uku ndiko kwaiva kupupura kwaJohani vaJudha veJerusarema pavakatuma vaprista navaRevhi kuti vanomubvunza kuti iye aimbova ani.
Awu ndo upitawu wa Yohani kwa wakulu wa Wayawudi Yerusalemu kulii pawawatumiti watambika wamu na wantu wa ukowu wa Lawi wa numba ya Mlungu wagendi kwa Yohani wamkosiyi, “Gwenga gwa gaa?”
20 Haana kurega kupupura, asi akanyatsopupura pachena achiti, “Handisini Kristu.”
Yohani kalemiti ndiri kuwankula, ira katakuliti pota na kufifa, kalongiti, “Neni na Kristu ndiri yakasyagulitwi na Mlungu kuwalopoziya wantu.”
21 Vakamubvunza vakati, “Zvino ndiwe aniko? Ndiwe Eria here?” Iye akati, “Handizi iye.” “Uri muprofita here?” Akapindura akati, “Kwete.”
Womberi wamkosiya, “Su, gwenga gwa gaa? Gwenga gwa Eliya?” Yohani kawankula, “Ndala, neni ndiri.” Wamkosiya kayi, “Gwenga ndo ulii Mbuyi gwa Mlungu yawamtakuliti?” Yohani Kawankula, “Ndala!”
22 Pakupedzisira vakati, “Ndiwe aniko? Tipindure tigondotaurira vatituma. Unozviti aniko?”
Nawomberi wamgambira, “Su, gutugambiri gwenga gwa gaa? Su gutakula hashi kuusu gumweni? Hatugendi kutakula ntambu yagutuwankula kwa walii yawatutumiti.”
23 Johani akapindura namashoko omuprofita Isaya achiti, “Ndini inzwi reanodana murenje, richiti, ‘Ruramisai nzira yaShe.’”
Yohani kawankula ntambu yakalembiti Isaya mbuyi gwa Mlungu, “Neni ndo liziwu lya muntu yakabotanga mushiwala, ‘Mnyawi njira yakupitira Mtuwa!’”
24 Zvino vamwe vaFarisi vakanga vatumwa
Wajumbi yawatumitwi na Mafalisayu,
25 vakamubvunza vachiti, “Seiko zvino uchibhabhatidza kana usiri Kristu, kana Eria kana Muprofita?”
wamkosiyiti Yohani, “Paguwera ndiri Kristu, ama Eliya, ama ulii Mbuyi gwa Mlungu, iwera hashi gubatiza?”
26 Johani akapindura akati, “Ini ndinobhabhatidza nemvura, asi pakati penyu pamire mumwe wamusingazivi.
Yohani kawankula, “Neni mbatiza kwa mashi, kumbiti kwana yumu pakati penu yamummana ndiri.
27 Ndiye anouya shure kwangu, handikodzeri kusunungura rukanda rweshangu dzake.”
Paneni kankwiza, neni herepa ndiri ata kuyopola lugoyi zya vilyatu vyakuwi.”
28 Izvi zvose zvakaitika paBhetani mhiri kwaJorodhani, uko kwaibhabhatidzira Johani.
Vitwatila vyoseri vyavilawiriti Betaniya kusika mwa lushemba lwa Yoridani, pahala Yohani pakawera kankubatiza.
29 Chifume chamangwana Johani akaona Jesu achiuya kwaari akati, “Tarirai, Gwayana raMwari, rinobvisa chivi chenyika!
Shirawu yakuwi, Yohani kamwoniti Yesu kankumwizira. Yohani katakula, “Ayu ndo Mwana Kondolu gwa Mlungu, yakawusiya vidoda vya wantu wa pasipanu!
30 Ndiye wandaireva pandakati, ‘Murume anouya shure kwangu akandipfuura nokuti akanditangira.’
Ayu ndo ulii yanumtakuliti, pantakuliti, ‘Paneni kamkwiza muntu yumu mkulu kuliku neni, toziya kaweriti kala neni haneniyiwuki.’
31 Ini pachangu ndakanga ndisingamuzivi, asi zvandakauyira ndichibhabhatidza nemvura ndezvokuti iye aratidzwe kuIsraeri.”
Namweni numumaniti ndiri, kumbiti niziti kubatiza kwa mashi su yomberi kamanikana kwa wantu wa Israeli.”
32 Ipapo Johani akapupura uchapupu uhu achiti, “Ndakaona mweya achiburuka kubva kudenga akaita senjiva akamhara pamusoro pake.
Na awu ndo upitawu Yohani yakautakuliti, “Moniti Rohu Mnanagala kankusuluka gambira nkunda pakiza kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu na kumkangalira.
33 Ndingadai ndisina kumuziva, asi uya akandituma kuti ndizobhabhatidza nemvura ndiye akandiudza achiti, ‘Murume uyo waunoona Mweya achiburuka achigara paari, ndiye achazovabhabhatidza noMweya Mutsvene.’
Neni numumana ndiri kuwera yomberi ndo uliya yanumtakuliti, su Mlungu yakantumiti neni kubatiza kwa mashi, kang'ambiriti, ‘Hagumwoni Rohu pakamsulukira muntu kulawa kumpindi, ndo ulii yakabatiza kwa Rohu Mnanagala.’
34 Ndazviona uye ndinopupura kuti uyu ndiye Mwanakomana waMwari.”
Yohani katakuliti, Neni moniti, nuwagambirani nakaka kuwera ayu ndo Mwana gwa Mlungu.”
35 Chifume chamangwana Johani akanga aripozve navadzidzi vake vaviri.
Shirawu yakuwi, Yohani kaweriti kayi paliya pamuhera na wafundwa wakuwi wawili,
36 Akati achiona Jesu achipfuura akati, “Tarirai, Gwayana raMwari!”

37 Vadzidzi vaviri vakati vachimunzwa achitaura izvi, vakatevera Jesu.
Wafundwa wawili pawapikaniriti aga, su wagenditi pamuhera na Yesu.
38 Jesu akatendeuka akavaona vachitevera akavabvunza akati, “Munodeiko?” Ivo vakati, “‘Rabhi’ (ndiko kuti Mudzidzisi), munogarepiko?”
Yesu kagalambukiti, kawawoniti wankumfata, su kawakosiya, “Mwankusakula shishi?” Womberi wamwankula, “Rabi” mana yakuwi “mfunda” gulikala koshi?
39 Akapindura akati, “Uyai muzokuona.” Saka vakaenda vakandoona paaigara, vakaswera naye kwezuva rimwe chete. Yakanga iri nguva inenge yegumi.

42 Uye akauya naye kuna Jesu. Jesu akatarisa kwaari akati, “Ndiwe Simoni mwanakomana waJohani. Iwe uchanzi Kefasi” (ndiko kuti, kana zvichishandurwa, Petro).
Su wamjegiti Simoni kwa Yesu. Yesu kamlola Simoni na kalonga, “Litawu lyaku ndo Simoni mwana gwa Yohani, Kumbiti hagushemwi Kefa.” Kwa Shigiriki ndo Peteru, mana yakuwi “Litalawu.”
