5 Utumuli lumulekha mukhisi, pakhuva ekhisi sayikhanchimye.
lokukhanya kukhanya emnyameni, kodwa ubumnyama kabukwemukelanga.
6 Pale nu munu uvyasukhiwe ukhuma khwa Nguluve, uve mwene elitawa ve Yohana.
Kwavela umuntu ethunywe nguNkulunkulu, obizo lakhe linguJohane;
7 Ainchile wila imwemwelenchi khulolela ulumuli lulla, khukhula voni vawesye ukhwedekha ukhugendela mumwene.

11 Ainchile ni vinu fya mwene, na vanu vamwene savakhamwupelela.
Weza kokwakhe, kodwa abakhe kabamemukelanga.
12 Pakhuva avingi avakhamwedikhe, avakhedikhe elitawa elwa mwene, pwa vapile elweli ukhuva vana va Nguluve.
Kodwa bonke abamemukelayo, wabapha amandla okuthi babe ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, labo abakholwa ebizweni lakhe;
13 Avakholiwe, sio khunkisa, wala khuvunogwe uwambele, khukhuta khuvuga ne uwa munu, pakhuva yu Nguluve mweve.

14 Nelimenyu lwavombiwe imbele lyatamile igati mulyufwe, tuluwene, uluginwo lwa mene, uluginwo ulwa munu uyale mwene khwa baba, adenchiwe uluhungu ulwayelweli.
ULizwi wasesiba yinyama, wahlala phakathi kwethu, njalo sabona inkazimulo yakhe, inkazimulo injengeyozelwe yedwa kaYise, egcwele umusa leqiniso.
15 U Yohana emivele egwamwene, pwa khaloncha elimenyu akhata, “Uyo ve mwene venekhanchoovile ululagelo ulwa mwene, “Uyikhwincha khusana khulyune vembakha khuvoni, ulwakhuva alepo kabla yango.”
UJohane wafakaza ngaye, wamemeza wathi: Nguye lo ebengisitsho ngaye ukuthi: Lowo ozayo emva kwami uphambi kwami; ngoba wayekhona kuqala kulami.
16 Pakhuva pakhukhuma pavugolofu wa mwene, pakhuva twevoni twupelile emivombele paa mivombele.
Lekugcwaleni kwakhe thina semukele sonke, futhi umusa ngomusa;
17 Pakhuva ululagelo lwainchile ukhugendela khwa Musa. Uluhungu ulwayelweli lwainchile ukhugendela khwa Yesu Klisiti.
ngoba umlayo wanikwa ngoMozisi, umusa leqiniso kweza ngoJesu Kristu.
18 Asikhuli umunu avambwene u Nguluve usekhe gwoni. Umu ve mwene uNguluve, uvalepakhefuva ekhwa Nguluve, ambikhile umwene amanyekhe.
Kakho owake wabona uNkulunkulu; iNdodana ezelwe yodwa, esesifubeni sikaYise, yiyo emvezileyo.
19 Pa khuva ege gyu mivele gya Yohana akhasekhe akhademi uvakhulawi avasukhiwe khumwene Avayahudi khukhomboja, “Uve ve veni?”
Njalo lobu yibufakazi bukaJohane, mhla amaJuda ethuma abapristi lamaLevi bevela eJerusalema ukuze bambuze ukuthi: Wena ungubani?
20 Pakhuva tudwadadwada nivi sipali pwa khavone, “Une sio Klisiti.”
Wasevuma, kaphikanga; futhi wavuma wathi: Kangisuye uKristu mina.
21 Pu vakhambuncha, “Uve ve venile no?” Uve ve Eliya? Ahanchova, “Akhata one siyo.” Vakhanchoova, Uve ve nyamalago? Akhanchova,” akhata amuna.”
Bambuza futhi bathi: Kuyini pho? Wena unguElija yini? Wasesithi: Kangisuye. Wena ungulowomProfethi yini? Wasephendula wathi: Hatshi.
22 Tena puvakhambula, “Uve ve veni, khukhuta tuvavule anda avavatu sukhile”? Vukhevekhela ndeti emivele vemwene?”
Basebesithi kuye: Ungubani? Ukuze sibaphe impendulo abasithumileyo; uthini ngawe?
23 Ahanchoova, “Ahata une nene limenyu elelikhwelanga ndu gima: 'Golosya enjela eyambakha,' ndo lwa nyamalago u Isaya vuakhanchoovile.”
Wathi: Mina ngiyilizwi lomemezayo enkangala: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi, njengoba uIsaya umprofethi watsho.
24 Pakhuva pale na vanu avavasukhiwe ukhukhuma khwa Vafalisayo. Vakhambuncha nukhunchoova,
Lalabo ababethunyiwe babevela kubaFarisi.
25 “Pa khuva khekhi vukhwoncho inave uveve sio ve Klisiti vala Eliya vala nyamalago?”
Basebembuza, bathi kuye: Ubhabhathizelani pho, uba wena ungeyisuye uKristu, loElija, lalowomProfethi?
26 U Yohana avandile akhanchoova, “Nikhwoncha khu magasi. Pakhuva, inganti indyumwe ayikhwema umunu uyusamumanyile.
UJohane wabaphendula, wathi: Mina ngibhabhathiza ngamanzi; kodwa phakathi kwenu kumi, lina elingamaziyo;
27 Uyo veikhwincha usekhe ugwango. Une saninogelanile ukhulege sya indegekhe incha filatu ifya mwene.”
nguye ozayo emva kwami, ophambi kwami, engingafanele mina ukuthukulula umchilo wenyathela lakhe.
28 Imbombo inchi nchavombiwe hu Bethania, khumwambo khu Yordani, aponu upwalekhuvomba uYohana ukhwonchaa.
Lezizinto zenzeka eBethabara ngaphetsheya kweJordani, lapho uJohane ayebhabhathiza khona.
29 Emisekhe egegwakokile u Yohana akhambona u Yesu ikhwincha khumwene inchoova, “Lola eng'osi eya Nguluve yikhwincha khulola imbivi incha khelunga!
Kusisa uJohane wabona uJesu esiza kuye, wathi: Khangelani iWundlu likaNkulunkulu, elisusa isono somhlaba.
30 oyo venekhanchovile ukhuta indagelo inchamwene nekhanchova, “Umwene uvikhwincha khu sana khulyune vembakha khulutelela one, ulwakhuva ale mbolongolo indyune.'
Nguye lo mina ebengilitshela ngaye ukuthi: Emva kwami kuza indoda, eyayikhona phambi kwami, ngoba yayikhona kuqala kulami.
31 Sanekhagundule yeyoni, pakhuva yavombiwe eve ukhuta adendoliwe mu Israeli, pakhuva nainchile khukhwoncho na magasi.”
Lami bengingamazi; kodwa ukuze abonakaliswe kuIsrayeli, ngalokho mina ngizile ngibhabhathiza ngamanzi.
32 U Yohana ale nemivele, “Nekhalolile umepo ikhwikha ukhukhu makhukwanya nekhekhwani ekhwa khengondya, puyikhasigile pakanya pa mwene.
UJohane wasefakaza, esithi: Ngibonile uMoya esehla ezulwini njengejuba, wahlala phezu kwakhe.
33 Unene sanekhagundule ila umwene asukhile nonche na magasi ambolile, 'Ula uvevukhombona nu mepo vuikhwikha nukhwikha nukhutama nu mwene, Pakhuva oywa veikhwoncha nu mepo umbalanche.'
Lami bengingamazi; kodwa owangithumayo ukubhabhathiza ngamanzi, yena wathi kimi: Lowo ozabona uMoya esehlela phezu kwakhe ahlale kuye, nguye obhabhathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele.
34 Nelolile ne mivele ukhuta oyu ve swambe va Nguluve.”
Mina ngibonile, ngafakaza ukuthi lo uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
35 Pakhuva akhasekhe akhakhalikhukongo u Yohana akhamile paninie na vakongi vamwene vavele,
Kusisa futhi uJohane wayemi, lababili kubafundi bakhe;
36 vambwene u Yesu igenda nu Yohana akhanchova, “Lola, eng'osi eya Nguluve!”
wasekhangela uJesu ehambahamba, wathi: Khangelani iWundlu likaNkulunkulu.
37 Avakongi vavile vakhapulekha oyoha na voinchova ita tukongage o Yesu.
Abafundi ababili bamuzwa ekhuluma, basebemlandela uJesu.
38 Pu Yesu akhapendukha akhavavona avakongi vikhokonga, pwa khavavula, “Mwinongwa ekhekhi?” Vakhanda, “Rabbi, (Pakhuva pene 'indongonchi,' vutama ndakhu?”
Kwathi uJesu enyemukula ebabona belandela, wathi kubo: Lidingani? Basebesithi kuye: Rabi, (okuyikuthi ngokuphendulelwa, Mfundisi) uhlala ngaphi?
39 Akhavavula, “Mwinche mulole. “Puva khaluta vakhalola esehemu eyi tamaa, vatamile pupaninie esikhu eyo, ulwa khuva yale ukhuta khasekhe kha lwakhemikhe.
Wathi kubo: Wozani libone. Beza babona lapho ayehlala khona; bahlala laye ngalolosuku; kwakungaba lihola letshumi.
40 Yumo paninie pavale vavele uveakhapulikhe u Yohana voinchova ukhuta tukonge uyise ale ve Andrea, lokololwe va Simoni Petro.

Yena wathola kuqala umfowabo uqobo uSimoni, wathi kuye: Simtholile uMesiya, okuphendulelwa ngokuthi, uKristu.
42 Akhagega khwa Yesu. U Yesu akhandola nukhuncova, “Uve ve Simoni veswambe va Yohana ya vukhelangiwa ve Kefa,” (pakhuva ve 'Petro').
Wasemletha kuJesu. UJesu esemkhangele wathi: Wena unguSimoni indodana kaJona; uzathiwa nguKefasi, okuphendulelwa ngokuthi uPetro.
43 Akhasekhe akhakhakongile uYesu vuinogwa ukhukhega ukhuluta khu Galilaya, akhambona o Filipo nu khumbula, “In'ongage one.”
Kusisa uJesu wayefuna ukusuka aye eGalili, wathola uFiliphu, wathi kuye: Ngilandela.

48 Nathanaeli akhanchova, “Umanyile ndakhekhi one?” U Yesu akhanda akhambula, “Pakhuva u Filipo vu sakhwelangile vulepasi pabebhe, ne khakhuwene.”
UNathaniyeli wathi kuye: Ungazela ngaphi? UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: UFiliphu engakakubizi, ungaphansi komkhiwa, ngakubona.
49 U Nathanaeli akhanda, “Rabi uve uleswambe va Nguluve! Uveve ve intwa vakhu Israeli!”
UNathaniyeli waphendula wathi kuye: Rabi, wena uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, wena uyiNkosi kaIsrayeli.
50 U Yesu akhanda akhambula, ulwa khuva nakhuvulile 'nakhuwene pasi pabekhe' je vukhwekha? Yuwilola amambo amavakha khuligo aga.”
UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Uyakholwa ngoba ngithe kuwe, bengikubona ungaphansi komkhiwa. Uzabona izinto ezinkulu kulalezi.
51 U Yesu akhanchova, “Lweli lweli mula khevona ekhelunga vukhelunga vukhidendukha, nukhuvavona avasung'wa vovitoga nu khwikha pa kwanya paswambe va Adamu.”
Wasesithi kuye: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Kusukela khathesi lizabona izulu livulekile, lengilosi zikaNkulunkulu zisenyuka zisehla phezu kweNdodana yomuntu.
