Kusambish kamu pinipa, Yohan wayibachika antu akwau chakwel amulondul Yesu, Mesia washilaumu.​—Yoh. 1:32-37.

Yesu walonda piur pa chisend cha pakampwil cha Yohan anch: “Yohan Mubatish udi mujim kupandakan antu awonsu a pa mangand.” (Mat. 11:11) Pakad kwidjidjek, Yohan wasangera nakash yiyukish  yatambulay.

Yohan Mubatish walama musangar wend mulong wading mwin kujikitish piur pa yisend yend yadingay nich. Shinshikin chilakej ech. Kupwa kwa kumubatish Yesu, mudimu wa Yohan wasambisha kukep, pakwez wa Yesu wasambisha kujimb. In kwilej a Yohan iyakamisha piur pa chom chinech, chawiy chamulejau anch: “Mulej, muntu wadinga nend kwingangel kwa wit wa Yordan wa, . . . [tal], niyend katat ukat kubatish antu.

(Mat. 10:1; Yoh. 10:41) Pa ndond pa kulikidil kushalijan kwinoku kumuletin kampuw, Yohan wakwatikana nakash nich chisend chend chamwinkishau kudi Yehova.

Anch niyetu twashinshikin pa chisend chetu tukweta mu mudimu wa Yehova, tukulam musangar wetu. Terry, twajimbulang kwinsambishin ulondin anch: “Nading kushinshikinang nakash pa chisend chin chawonsu changinkishangau.” Pakatay kutongijokin piur pa mwom wend wasutishay mu mudimu wa chisu chawonsu, ukat kulond anch: “Nikatap kwinan ap pakemp, pakwez nikat kuvurik yom yipandakena kuwap.”

Tukutwish kujimbish musangar wetu mu mudimu wa Yehova anch twatongijokin pa yom yisadina chisend chin chawonsu kwikal cha usey mu mudimu wa Yehova.

Yohan wading wij anch dichuku dimwing mudimu wend ukupwa, pakwez katonginap anch mudimu wend wafanyina kupwa kwa kukashimuk. (Yoh. 3:30) Mu muvu wa 30 C.C., angond piswimp musamban kupwa kwa Yesu kutambul dibatish, Yohan amuteka mu rukat kudi Mwant Herod. Pakwez, Yohan wasala yawonsu yafanyinay kusal mulong wa kupan uman.

Yohan wading ukatin kwijik yivud nakash piur pa yom yikusalay Yesu, chawiy chatumay in kwilejend aad mulong wa kumwipul Yesu anch: “Ov, ey yey twadia tuchingedila kwez, anch tufanyidin kuchingel mukwau?” (Luka 7:19) Chisu chachirikau, Yohan wayitesha nawamp chisu chading chimurumburidinau kudi in kwilejend piur pa yilay yasalay Yesu ku mes kwau kupwa wayitum chakwel amulej Yohan anch: “Amputames akat kuman, ayilim akat kwend, in musong wa mak akat kuyerik, atujikamatu akat kutesh, afu akat kuvumbuk ikal kand aom, ni rusangu ruwamp akat kurilejan kudi atuzwendj.”​—Luka 7:20-22.

Yom yamulejau Yohan kudi in kwilejend yamukasikesha nakash. Yom yiney yamekesha anch Yesu wading uwanyishin uprofet piur pa Mesia. Ap anch Yesu kafanyinap kumudiosh Yohan mu rukan, Yohan wading wij anch mudimu wend wadingap wa chamwamu. Chikalap nchik yom yamushikena, wading ni diyingishin dia kwikal ni musangar.

Sandra ulondin kand anch: “Maprogram ma ngond ni ngond ma JW Télédiffusion, matukwashin kwiyov kwikal piswimp ni dirijek, ni matukwashin kand kulam musangar mu chisend chetu.”

Mu chisu chikemp chalejanay Yohan Mubatish, walejana nich ‘spiritu, ni ukash mudi wadingay nich Elija,’ ni mudi Elija, Yohan “wading muntu mudi etu.” (Luka 1:17; Jak. 5:17) Anch twimburij chilakej chend cha kujikitish ni cha kushinshikin pa kumusadin Yehova, niyetu tukutwish kudandamen kwikal ni musangar mu mudimu wa Want chikalap nchik yom yikutwisha kutushiken mu mwom.
