Zisonika Matai 3:1-17
3 Vaba kilumbu kimueka, bo Yoane Ḿbotiki kaba longa ku thandu* yiba ku Yuda,
2 nandi wutuba: “Nyonginanu masumu minu, kibila Kintinu ki diyilu kima fikama.”
3 Yoane, nandi ḿbikudi Yesaya katubila mu matangu amama: “Mbembu yi mutu wuntenduka ku thandu: ‘Kubikilanu Yave nzila ayi ludikanu zinzila ziandi.’”
4 Yoane waba vuatanga bikhutu bivangulu mu nkanda wu kamela ayi phonda* yivangulu mu nkanda kibulu. Mvandi waba dianga mindedeka* ayi wika yi zinyosi.*
5 Dikabu di Yelusalemi, batu boso baba zingilanga ku Yuda ayi baba kalanga mu ndeku Yolidani, baba kuendanga kuidi nandi,
6 muingi kunyongina masumu mawu, ayi nandi waba kuba botikanga mu muila wu Yolidani.
7 Bo kamona bafalisi ayi basadusi bawombo baba fikama vo kaba botikila, nandi wuba kamba: “Nkuna wu nyoka, nani wu lukamba ti benu mulenda vuka mu kilumbu ki nganzi yi Nzambi?
8 Vayi nyonginanu masumu minu mu kumonisa mavanga mamboti.
9 Bikanu kukinyemisa mu kutuba: ‘Abalahami widi tat’itu.’ Kibila Nzambi kalenda vanga mamanya amama kukituka bana ba Abalahami.
10 Kitadi kima kubama muingi kuzenga zinganzi zi nti. Diawu, woso nti wukhambu butanga makundi mamboti, bafueti ku wuzenga ayi ku wuloza ku mbazu.
11 Mu kunyongina masumu minu, diawu yidi ku mubotikila mu nlangu. Vayi no wunkuiza, wulutidi kena minu ayi yisi ko wufuana muingi kubotula zisandali* ziandi. Ayi nandi wala ku mubotikila mu phevi yinlongo ayi mu mbazu.
12 Nandi widi kisosolo va mioko muingi kuvasa mbongo ayi bititi, ayi nandi wala diodisa kibuangu kansosilanga mbongo’andi. Wala khupika mbongu’andi mu bilundulu, vayi bititi wala vika biawu ku mbazu yikhambu zimanga.”*
13 Bosi Yesu wunanguka ku Ngalili ayi wuyenda ku muila wu Yolidani, muingi Yoane kambotika.
14 Vayi Yoane wumeka kuntula nkaku mu kutuba: “A Mfumu, khanu minu yifueti kuiza kuidi ngiewu muingi wumbotika. Buidi ngie wunkuizila kuidi minu?”
15 Vayi Yesu wumvutudila: “Mawu mafueti vangama mu thangu ayiyi, kibila mu phila ayoyo, tunkuiza dukisa mambu moso Nzambi katuba.”* Bosi Yoane kasa bue ntula ko nkaku.
16 Bo kamana kubotama, mu thinu Yesu wubasika mu nlangu ayi muna thangu beni, diyilu dizibuka ayi nandi wumona phevi yi Nzambi kukulumuka kuidi nandi buka dibembi.
17 Mvandi vayuwakana mbembu yibasikila ku diyilu yaba tuba: “Awowo Muan’ami, minu yikunzolanga beni ayi nandi widi lunungu va mesu mami.”
