10 Pe abhantʉ bhaala bhakhamʉbhʉzɨɨlɨzya bhakhatɨ, “Ishi tʉbhombe lyoni?” 11 UYookhani akhabhaamʉla akhatɨ, “We alɨ na makooti gabhɨlɨ, amʉpanje we atalɨ ni kooti, woope we alɨ ni shaakulya, amʉpanje we atalɨ ni shaakulya.” 12 Bhoope abhasonshezya nsonho*3:12 Abhasonshezya nsonho Bhaazya mu Wilulanyo ʉwa mazwi amajeni. bhe bhínzile kʉtɨ bhoozelwe, bhakhamʉbhʉzɨɨlɨzya uYookhani bhakhatɨ, “Mumanyizyi, nɨɨtwe tʉbhombe lyoni?” 13 Akhabhabhʉʉzya akhatɨ, “Mʉleshe kʉsonshezya ɨnsonho kʉshɨla zye zibhishiilwe.” 14 Bhoope abhasikaali bhakhamʉbhʉzɨɨlɨzya bhakhatɨ, “Nɨɨtwe tʉbhombe lyoni?” Akhabhabhʉʉzya akhatɨ, “Mʉleshe kʉfwʉla ɨnhela zya bhantʉ, awe kwega ku wushevu ʉwa kʉkhopela, lyoli mʉkhobhokhaje na vwe mʉkʉposheela kʉ mbombo yiinyu.”
15 Akhabhalɨlo khanaakho abhantʉ bhakhasʉbhɨlaga kwɨnza kwa Kilisiti, pe bhakhasɨɨbhaga kʉtɨ pamu uYookhani we wu Kilisiti. 16 Pe uYookhani akhabhabhʉʉzya bhonti akhatɨ, “Ɨne ɨnkʉbhoozya ku minzi, ɨleelo akwɨnza umuntu we alɨ na makha kʉnshɨla ɨne, we ɨne ɨntakhondeeye poope kʉbha ne mubhombi ʉwa kʉsatʉla amakhobha gɨ ndaala zyakwe.†3:16 Ɨntakhondeeye poope kʉbha ne mubhombi ʉwa kʉsatʉla amakhobha gɨ ndaala zyakwe Umujeni ɨnga ayinjila mu nyumba, umubhombi akhamʉsatʉlaga amakhobha gɨ ndaala na kwozya ɨvɨnama vwakwe. Ɨmbombo yɨnɨɨyo yáamɨle ya mubhombi ʉwa paasɨ nzɨɨla.
