“Liswi lya muntu labilikishinga mucinyika kambeti,
‘Bambani mukwakwa wa kupitamo Mwami,’
‘Lulamikani nshila njoti akapitemo.’”
4Yohane walikufwala mwinjila wabweya bwa Ngamila, ne mukopo wacipaya mubukome. Cakulya cakendi calikuba bikobo ne bwiki bwamucisuwa. 5Bantu balafumina mu Yelusalemu ne mu Yudeya kayi ne mubibela byonse bilipepi ne mulonga wa Yolodani, balikwisa kuli Yohane. 6Abo balikulyambilila bwipishi bwabo, balabatishiwa mu mulonga wa Yolodani.

Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti Lesa ingawasandula awa mabwe kuba banabendi Abulahamu. 10Pacino cindi kembe kalibambila kutimbula citondo pamiyanda, neco citondo ciliconse cilabulunga kusema bisepo byaina, nibakacitimbule ne kuciwala mumulilo.”
11“Ame ndamubatishinga ne menshi kuba cilesho ca kushiya bwipishi bwenu, nomba panyuma pakame palesanga uyo eshakamubatishenga ne Mushimu Uswepa ne mulilo. Nendi wampita ngofu, cakwinseti nkandelela ne kunyamuna nkwabilo shakendi sobwe. 12Cakupupulushila cilikendi mu makasa akendi, kwambeti atatike kupupulusha. Nakabike maila apupulushiwa cena mu lyanga, nomba bungu nakabutente pamulilo utapu.”
