1 Pakutoma akhalipo anacemerwa Fala,+ Fala akhali pabodzi na Mulungu,+ pontho Fala akhali mulungu.+ 2 Iye akhali pabodzi na Mulungu kubulukira pakutoma. 3 Mulungu amʼphatisira toera kucita pinthu pyonsene,+ pontho nkhabepo cinthu cidacitwa mwakukhonda phatisira iye.

4 Iye aphatisirwa toera kucita umaso, pontho umaso unoyu ukhali ceza kuna anthu.+ 5 Ceza cikugaka ncidima,+ mbwenye cidima nee cakwanisa kukunda ceza.

6 Aoneka munthu mʼbodzi adatumwa na Mulungu; dzina yace ikhali Juwau.+ 7 Munthu unoyu abwera toera kupanga anthu pya ceza ceneci,+ toera kubulukira mʼmafalace anthu a madzindza onsene akhulupire. 8 Iye nee akhali ceza ceneci,+ mbwenye abwera toera kupanga anthu pya ceza ceneci.

9 Ceza candimomwene cinamwinikira anthu a madzindza onsene cikhali cifupi toera kubwera pa dziko.+ 10 Iye* akhali pa dziko,+ Mulungu amʼphatisira toera kucita dziko,+ mbwenye dziko nee yandziwa. 11 Iye afika kucisa cace, mbwenye anthu a mucisa cace nee antambira. 12 Mbwenye kwa onsene adantambira, iye aatawirisa toera akhale ana a Mulungu,+ thangwi iwo akhakhulupira dzina yace.+ 13 Pontho iwo nee abalwa na anthu, peno thangwi yakufuna kwa manungo, peno thangwi yakufuna kwa anyakubalawo, mbwenye abalwa mwakubverana na cifuno ca Mulungu.+

14 Natenepa, ule anacemerwa Fala adzabalwa na manungo aunyama+ mbakhala pakati pathu, ife taona mbiri yace, mbiri ninga ya mwana mʼbodzi ekha+ wa babace; iye akhadadzala na ntsisi zikulu za Mulungu na undimomwene. 15 (Juwau apereka umboni thangwi ya iye, mbalonga mwakugaluza: “Uyu ndi ule adalonga ine kuti: ‘Ule anabwera nduli mwanga aenda patsogolo panga, thangwi iye akhalipo ine mbandidzati kubalwa.’”)+ 16 Nakuti iye akhadadzala na ntsisi zikulu za Mulungu, tonsene tisapitiriza kutambira ntsisi zenezi zikulu. 17 Thangwi Mulungu apereka Mwambo kubulukira kuna Mose,+ mbwenye kubulukira kuna Yezu Kristu+ iye atipangiza ntsisi zikulu+ na undimomwene. 18 Cipo munthu aona kale Mulungu;+ mbwenye mwana mʼbodzi ekha wakulandana na Mulungu+ wakuti ali cifupi kakamwe na Baba,*+ ndiye adatifokotozera pya Iye.+

19 Juwau apereka umboni uyu pa ndzidzi udabwera anyantsembe na Alevi buluka ku Yerusalemu adatumwa na Ayuda toera kumbvundza kuti: “Kodi iwe ndiwe ani?”+ 20 Iye nee akhonda kutawira, mbwenye alonga pakweca kuti: “Ine sine Kristu tayu.” 21 Iwo ambvundza: “Mphapo ndiwe ani? Ndiwe Eliya?”+ Iye atawira: “Sine Eliya tayu.” “Ndiwe mprofeta?”+ Iye atawira: “Nkhabe!” 22 Penepo iwo ambvundza: “Ndiwe ani mphapo? Tipange toera tikwanise kutawira ale adatituma. Longa wekha, ndiwe ani?” 23 Iye atawira: “Ndine fala ya munthu anakhuwa nʼthando kuti: ‘Lungamisani njira ya Yahova,’*+ ninga mudalongera mprofeta Izaiya.”+ 24 Ale adatumwa akhali a nsoka wa Afarisi. 25 Iwo ambvundza: “Khala siwe Kristu tayu, peno Eliya peno Mprofeta; mphapo thangwi yanji usabatiza anthu?” 26 Juwau aatawira: “Ine ndisabatiza anthu mʼmadzi. Mbwenye alipo adalimira pakati panu wakuti imwe nkhabe kundziwa, 27 iye ndi ule anabwera nduli mwanga, wakuti mithambo ya masandalya ace ine sidathema tayu toera kuisudzula.”+ 28 Pinthu pyenepi pyacitika ku Bhetanya, kuntunda unango wa Yordani, ku mbuto ikhabatiza Juwau.+

29 Mangwana mwace Juwau aona Yezu mbakabwera kuna iye, natenepa iye alonga: “Onani, uyu ndi Mwanabira+ wa Mulungu anabulusa madawo+ pa dziko!+ 30 Iye ndi ule adalonga ine kuti: ‘Nduli mwanga mukubwera munthu adaenda patsogolo panga, thangwi iye akhalipo ine mbandidzati kubalwa.’+ 31 Ine nee ndikhandziwa, mbwenye ndi na thangwi ineyi ine ndisabatiza anthu mʼmadzi toera iye apangizike kuna Aizraeli.”+ 32 Juwau aperekambo umboni, mbalonga: “Ine ndaona nzimu wakucena ukhatcita ninga nkhangaiwa buluka kudzulu, mbupitiriza kukhala pana iye.+ 33 Ine nee ndikhandziwa, mbwenye Ule adandituma toera kubatiza anthu mʼmadzi, andipanga: ‘Ungaona nzimu wakucena mbutcita pana munthu mbupitiriza kukhala pana iye,+ unoyu ndiye anabatiza na nzimu wakucena.’+ 34 Ine ndaona pyenepi, mbandipereka umboni wakuti iye ndi Mwana wa Mulungu.”+

35 Nkuca mwace, Juwau akhali dzololo pabodzi na anyakupfundzace awiri, 36 pidaona iye Yezu mbakagwanda, iye alonga: “Onani, iye ndi Mwanabira+ wa Mulungu!” 37 Anyakupfundzace awiri pidabva iwo pyenepi, atowera Yezu. 38 Pidazungunuka Yezu aona kuti iwo akuntowera, iye aabvundza: “Musafunanji?” Iwo antawira: “Rabhi, imwe mwafikira kupi? (Fala yakuti Rabhi isabveka Mpfundzisi.)” 39 Iye aapanga: “Bwerani muone.” Natenepa iwo aenda na Yezu mbaona kudafikira iye, iwo akhala na iye ntsiku ineyi; ukhali ndzidzi unai wakumaulo. 40 Andreya+ mʼbale wace Simau Pedhru, ndi mʼbodzi wa anyakupfundza awiri adabva pidalonga Juwau mbatowera Yezu. 41 Buluka penepo, munthu wakutoma adaonana na iye ndi mʼbale wace akhacemerwa Simau, mbampanga: “Ife tagumana Mesiya”+ (fala yakuti Mesiya isabveka “Kristu”), 42 Andreya aenda naye kuna Yezu. Pidamuona Yezu, alonga: “Iwe ndiwe Simau+ mwana wa Juwau; iwe unadzacemerwa Kefa,” (dzina ineyi isabveka “Pedhru”).+

43 Mangwana mwace Yezu akhafuna kuenda ku Galileya. Buluka penepo iye aonana na Filipi,+ mbampanga: “Bwera ukhale nyakupfundza wanga.” 44 Filipi akhali wa ku Bhetisaidha, nzinda udabalwa Andreya na Pedhru. 45 Filipi agumanikana na Natanieli+ mbampanga: “Ife tagumana ule adalembwa mu Mwambo wa Mose na mʼmabukhu a Aprofeta: Yezu mwana wa Zuze,+ wa ku Nazareti.” 46 Mbwenye Natanieli ambvundza: “Kodi ku Nazareti kunabulukadi pinthu pyadidi?” Filipi antawira: “Bwera uone wekhene.” 47 Yezu aona Natanieli akhabwera kuna iye, mbalonga thangwi ya iye: “Onani, uyu ndi Muizraeli wandimomwene, mwa iye nkhabemo uthambi.”+ 48 Natanieli ambvundza: “Musandidziwa tani?” Yezu antawira: “Ine ndakuona pikhali iwe pantsi pamuti wa nsambvu, Filipi mbadzati kukucemera.” 49 Natanieli alonga: “Rabhi, imwe ndimwe Mwana wa Mulungu, imwe ndimwe Mambo wa Izraeli.”+ 50 Yezu ambvundza: “Iwe usandikhulupira thangwi ndakupanga kuti ndakuona pantsi pamuti wa nsambvu? Iwe unadzaona pinthu pyakudzumisa kakamwe kupiringana pyenepi.” 51 Buluka penepo Yezu alonga: “Mwandimomwene ine ndinakupangani monsene kuti munadzaona kudzulu kwafunguka, aanju a Mulungu mbatcita kudza pana Mwana wa munthu, mbakwira pontho kudzulu.”+
