Mwagiiye mu butaayu kureeba urubingo ruhungabanywa n’umuyaga? 25 Noone se mwajanywe no kureeba iki? Ni umuntu wambaye imyenda myiza y’abarimbyi yoroheereye? Oya, kuko abambara imyenda nk’iyo n’abarimbyi bagaburirwa neeza baba ibwami. 26 Ngaaho nimumbwire, mwagiiye mu butaayu kureeba iki? Umuhanuuzi? Ni koko ni umuhanuuzi, ndetse aruta abandi bahanuuzi." 27 Yohaana ni we wavuzweho mu byanditswe ngo,

"Dore ngiiye gutuma intumwa yanje mbere yaawe,

integuuza izaakubanziriza kugira ngo itunganye inzira yaawe."

28 Yesu arongera aravuga ati, "Ndababwira yuuko mu baabyawe n’umugore, ntaan’umwe uruta Yohaana. Ariko umuntu wiciisha bugufi kandi woroheje mu Bwami bw’Imaana ni we umuruta."
