1 ¹Pachiyambi panali Mau, ndipo Mau anali ndi Atate wathu, ndipo Mau anali Mulungu. ²Iye anali pachiyambi ndi Atate wathu. ³Zinthu zonse zinapangidwa mwa Iye, ndipo popanda Iye panalibe chinthu ngakhale chimodzi chimene chinapangidwa. ⁴Mwa Iye munali moyo, ndipo moyowo unali kuunika kwa anthu onse. ⁵Kuunika kumawala mu mdima, ndipo mdima sunakugonjetsa.

⁶Panadza munthu wotumidwa kuchokera kwa Atate wathu, dzina lake Yohane. ⁷Iye anadza ngati mboni, kudzachitira umboni za kuunika, kuti onse akhulupirire mwa umboni wa Yohane. ⁸Iye sanali kuunika, koma anadza kudzachitira umboni za kuunika. ⁹Kuunika koona, kumene kuwalira munthu aliyense, kunalinkudza m'dziko lapansi. ¹⁰Iye anali m'dziko lapansi. Dziko lapansi linapangidwa mwa Iye, komabe silinamuzindikira. ¹¹Iye anadza kwa anthu ake, koma anthu ake sanamulandira. ¹²Koma onse amene anamulandira, nakhulupirira m'dzina lake, anawapatsa mphamvu yokhala ana a Atate wathu, ^a a v12 Onse amene amalandira Yesu amapatsidwa mphamvu yokhala ana a Atate wathu — obwezeretsedwa m'banja la Iye amene anatumiza Mwana wake. ¹³ana obadwa osati ndi magazi, kapena ndi kufuna kwa thupi, kapena ndi kufuna kwa munthu, koma anabadwa mwa Atate wathu.

¹⁴Mau anasanduka thupi, nakhala pakati pathu. Ndipo tinaona ulemerero wake, ulemerero wa Mwana wobadwa yekha wochokera kwa Atate, wodzala ndi chisomo ndi choonadi. ¹⁵Yohane anachitira umboni za Iye, nafuula nati, “Uyu ndi amene ndinkunena: amene akudza pambuyo panga ndi wondiposa, chifukwa analiko ine ndisanabadwe.” ¹⁶Pakuti kuchokera m'kudzala kwake ife tonse talandira, chisomo pa chisomo. ¹⁷Pakuti lamulo linaperekedwa mwa Mose; chisomo ndi choonadi zinadza mwa Yesu Khristu. ¹⁸Palibe munthu amene anaonapo Atate wathu; Mulungu wobadwa yekha, amene ali pafupi ndi Atate, ndiye wamuwulula. ^b b v18 Mwana yekha, amene wakhala pafupi ndi mtima wa Atate wathu nthawi zonse, ndiye angathe kutionetsa kuti Atate wathu ndi ndani ndithu — kuona kulikonse kwa Atate kumadza mwa Yesu.

¹⁹Uwu ndi umboni wa Yohane, pamene Ayuda anatumiza ansembe ndi Alevi kuchokera ku Yerusalemu kudzamufunsa kuti, “Kodi ndiwe ndani?” ²⁰Iye anavomereza, ndipo sanakane, koma anavomereza kuti, “Ine sindine Khristu.”

²¹Pomwepo anamufunsa kuti, “Nanga bwanji? Kodi ndiwe Eliya?” Iye anati, “Sindine.” “Kodi ndiwe Mneneri?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Ayi.”

²²Pomwepo anafunsa kuti, “Kodi ndiwe ndani? Tiyenera kupereka yankho kwa amene anatituma. Kodi umanena chiyani za iwe mwini?”

²³Iye anati, “Ine ndine mau a wofuula m'chipululu kuti, ‘Wongolani njira ya Ambuye,’ monga ananena mneneri Yesaya.”

²⁴Ndipo iwo anatumidwa kuchokera kwa Afarisi. ²⁵Anamufunsa kuti, “Nanga ubatiza chifukwa chiyani, ngati sindiwe Khristu, kapena Eliya, kapena Mneneri?”

²⁶Yohane anawayankha kuti, “Ine ndimabatiza ndi madzi, koma pakati panu payima wina amene inu simumudziwa, ²⁷ngakhale Iye amene akudza pambuyo panga, amene ine sindili woyenera kumasula zingwe za nsapato zake.” ²⁸Zinthu izi zinachitika ku Betaniya, tsidya la Yordano, kumene Yohane anali kubatiza.

²⁹Tsiku lotsatira, ataona Yesu akudza kwa iye, anati, “Taonani! Mwanawankhosa wa Atate wathu—Yesu—amene achotsa tchimo la dziko lapansi! ^c c v29 Yohane akutcha Yesu kuti “Mwanawankhosa wa Atate wathu” chifukwa ndi Atate amene amapereka Mwanawankhosa—Atate yemweyo amene analonjeza Abrahamu kuti, ‘Mulungu adzadzipezera yekha mwanawankhosa,’ ndipo tsopano akukwaniritsa lonjezolo mwa Mwana wake. ³⁰Uyu ndi amene ndinkunena kuti, ‘Pambuyo panga pakudza munthu amene ali wandiposa, chifukwa analiko ine ndisanabadwe.’ ³¹Ine sindinamudziwe Iye, koma ndinadza kudzabatiza ndi madzi, kuti Iye awululike kwa Isiraeli.” ³²Yohane anachitira umboni kuti, “Ndinaona Mzimu Woyera akutsika kuchokera kumwamba ngati nkhunda, nakhala pa Iye. ³³Ine sindinamudziwe Iye, koma amene anandituma kudzabatiza ndi madzi anandiuza kuti, ‘Amene udzaona Mzimu Woyera akutsika nakhala pa Iye—ndiye amene amabatiza ndi Mzimu Woyera.’ ³⁴Ndipo ine ndaona, ndipo ndachitira umboni kuti Uyu ndi Mwana wa Atate wathu.” ^d d v34 Umboni wa Yohane ukutcha Yesu kuti Mwana wa Atate wathu—osati kokha “mwana wa Mulungu” koma Mwana wamuyaya amene Atate wamkonda kuyambira dziko lapansi lisanayambe.

³⁵Tsiku lotsatira Yohane anayimanso pamodzi ndi ophunzira ake awiri, ³⁶ndipo atayang'ana Yesu akudutsa, anati, “Taonani! Mwanawankhosa wa Atate wathu!” ³⁷Ophunzira awiriwo anamva iye akunena zimenezi, namutsatira Yesu.

³⁸Yesu anatembenuka, naona iwo akumutsatira, nawafunsa kuti, “Kodi mukufuna chiyani?” Iwo anati, “Rabi” (kutanthauza Mphunzitsi), “kodi mumakhala kuti?”

⁴⁰Mmodzi wa awiri amene anamva Yohane akuyankhula, namutsatira Yesu, anali Andreya, m'bale wake wa Simoni Petro. ⁴¹Iye anayamba kupeza m'bale wake Simoni, namuuza kuti, “Tapeza Mesiya” (kutanthauza Khristu).

⁴²Iye anabwera naye kwa Yesu. Yesu anamuyang'ana, nati, “Iwe ndiwe Simoni mwana wa Yohane. Udzatchedwa Kefa” (kutanthauza Petro).

⁴³Tsiku lotsatira, Yesu anaganiza zopita ku Galileya. Anapeza Filipo, nati kwa iye, “Nditsate.”

⁴⁶Natanieli anati, “Kodi chinthu chabwino chingatuluke ku Nazareti?” Filipo anati, “Bwera udzaone.”

⁴⁷Yesu anaona Natanieli akuyandikira, nanena za iye kuti, “Taonani—Mwisiraeli weniweni, mwa iye mulibe chinyengo!”

⁴⁸Natanieli anamufunsa kuti, “Mumandidziwa bwanji?” Yesu anayankha nati, “Filipo asanakuitane, pamene unali pansi pa mtengo wamkuyu, Ine ndinakuona.”

⁴⁹Natanieli anamuyankha kuti, “Rabi, Inu ndinu Mwana wa Atate wathu! Inu ndinu Mfumu ya Isiraeli!”

⁵⁰Yesu anamuyankha nati, “Ukukhulupirira chifukwa ndakuuza kuti ndinakuona pansi pa mtengo wamkuyu? Udzaona zinthu zazikulu kuposa izi.” ⁵¹Ndipo anamuuza kuti, “Indetu, indetu, ndinena kwa iwe, udzaona kumwamba kutatseguka, ndi angelo a Atate wathu akukwera ndi kutsika pa Mwana wa Munthu.” ^e e v51 Yesu akutchula masomphenya a Yakobo ku Beteli (Genesis 28:12), kumene angelo ankayenda pakati pa kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi pa makwerero—zimene tsopano zakwaniritsidwa mwa Iye.
