Zisonika Yoane 1:1-51
1 Va thonono wuba Diambu, ayi Diambu diba na Nzambi, Diambu beni diba buka nzambi.*
2 Va thonono, nandi wuba na Nzambi.
3 Biuma bioso bivangulu mu nzil’andi, ayi mu bivangu bioso, vasi ko kiuma kivangu mukhambu lusalusu luandi
4 mu nzil’andi luzingu luvangu, ayi luzingu* luyiza ba kiezila kuidi batu.
5 Kiezila kidi mu kulezama ku kitombi, vayi kitombi kisannunga ko.
6 Vayiza monika dibakala dimueka bafila banga mvuala wu Nzambi, dizina diandi Yoane.
7 Dibakala adiodio wuyiza buka mbangi, muingi kuta kimbangi matedi kiezila; ayi muingi mintindu mioso mi batu bakikinina mu nzil’andi.
8 Nandi kasa ba ko kiezila, vayi wuyiza muingi kuta kimbangi matedi kiezila beni.
9 Kiezila ki kiedika kio kinlezamanga kuidi mintindu mioso mi batu, kiaba belama kukuiza mu nza.
10 Nandi wuba mu nza, ayi nza yivangulu mu nzil’andi, vayi nza beni yisa kunzaba ko.
11 Nandi wuyiza kuidi dikabu diandi, vayi bawu basa kunkikinina ko.
12 Vayi nandi wuvana kuidi batu boso bankikinina, luaku lu kuba bana ba Nzambi. Kibila bawu balekila kiminu mu dizina diandi.
13 Ayi bana beni, basa butukila ko mu kinsuni, mu menga, ni mu luzolo lu batu, vayi mu luzolo lu Nzambi.
14 Mu phila ayoyo, Diambu diyiza ba nsuni ayi dizinga yitu, ayi befu tumona nkembu’andi, nkembu buka wu muana wumueka to wu tata. Nandi wuba kiedika ayi wuba lunungu va mesu ma Nzambi.
15 (Yoane wuta kimbangi matedi nandi, mu kutuba: “Awowo, nandi mutu minu yitubila ti: ‘No wunkuiza ku mbus’ami, wuvioka va ntual’ama, kibila nandi wutuama kuzinga kena minu.’”)
16 Mu kibila ki nlemvu’andi ayi kiedika, befu boso tuntatamananga kutambula mamboti malutidi va mbata mamboti malutidi.
17 Kibila Minsiku, miyizila mu Mose, vayi mamboti malutidi ayi kiedika, biyizila mu nzila Yesu Klistu.
18 Vasi ko mutu mana mona Nzambi, vayi muana* wumueka to no widi va khonzu Tata, nandi wu kunzabikisanga.
19 Akiki, kiawu kimbangi Yoane kata, bo basi Yuda bafila zinganga nzambi ayi zilevita, bafumina ku Yelusalemi muingi kunkuvula: “Ngie widi nani?”
20 Nandi kasa manga ko kuba tambudila, bukiedika nandi wutuba: “Minu yisi ko Klistu.”
21 Bawu babue nkuvula: “Buabu ngie widi nani? Elia?” Nandi wuba vutudila: “Ndamba, yisi ko Elia.” Bawu babue nkuvula: “Ngie widi ḿbikudi?” Nandi wuba vutudila: “Ndamba!”
22 Diawu, bawu babue nkuvula: “Ngie widi nani? Wutu kamba muingi befu tubaka mvutu wu kue kamba batu babe tutuma. Mbi wulenda tuba matedi ngie veka?”
23 Nandi wutuba: “Minu yidi mbembu yi mutu yidi mu kutenduka ku thandu: ‘Kubikilanu Yave nzila’, dedi bo ḿbikudi Yesaya katubila.”
24 Batu beni batuma, baba mu dingumba di bafalisi.
25 Bawu babue nkuvula: “Boti ngie wisi ko Klistu, Elia ni ḿbikudi, buabu kibila mbi widi mu kubotikila batu?”
26 Yoane wuba tambudila: “Minu yidi mu kubotikila mu nlangu. Vayi va khat’inu, vadi mutu no benu lukhambu zaba,
27 nandi widi mu kukuiza ku mbus’ama, ayi minu yisi ko wufuana muingi kukutula minsinga mi zisandali ziandi.”
28 Mambu amomo, mamonikina ku Betania, ku disimu dinkaka di muila wu Yolidani, ko Yoane kaba botikila batu.
29 Mu kilumbu kilanda, nandi wumona Yesu wabe kuiza kundengana, ayi wutuba: “Talanu, awowo widi Muana Dimemi di Nzambi, no wunkuiza botula masumu mu nza!
30 Awowo, nandi mutu minu yitubila ti: ‘Ku mbus’ama, kuidi mu kukuiza dibakala wuvioka va ntual’ama, kibila nandi wutuama kuzinga kena minu.’
31 Minu mvama yabasa kunzabanga ko. Vayi yimbotikilanga batu mu nlangu, mu kibila akiki: muingi basi Isaeli bazaba, nandi widi nani.”
32 Yoane mvandi wuta kimbangi mu kutuba: “Yimona phevi yinlongo kukulumuka ku diyilu buka dibembi, ayi yawu yitatamana mu nandi.
33 Minu mvama yabasa kunzabanga ko, vayi Mutu wuthuma muingi yibotikila mu nlangu wukhamba: ‘Woso mutu wala kulumukina phevi yinlongo, ayi yala tatamana mu nandi, nandi fueti botikila mu phevi yinlongo.’
34 Minu yimona mawu ayi yita kimbangi ti, nandi widi Muana wu Nzambi.”
35 Mu kilumbu kilanda, Yoane wubue ba va kibuangu beni, na minlandikini miandi miodi,
36 ayi bo kamona Yesu kuviokila vana, nandi wutuba: “Talanu, awowo widi Muana Dimemi di Nzambi!”
37 Bo minlandikini beni bayuwa mawu, bawu balandakana Yesu.
38 Bo Yesu katala ku mbusa ayi kamona ti bawu baba kunlandakana, nandi wuba yuvula: “Mbi benu luidi mu kutomba?” Bawu bamvutudila: “Rabi (dizina dinsundula “nlongisi”), kuidi ngie bevikila?”
39 Nandi wuba kamba: “Yiza monanu.” Bosi bawu bayenda, bamona vama kavikila ayi bakala yandi kilumbu kioso. Kiba kilokula ki kumi.
40 Andele, khomba Simoni Petelo, wuba wumueka mu minlandikini mi miodi bayuwa mambu Yoane katuba, ayi balandakana Yesu.
41 Theti, nandi wuye bata khomb’andi Simoni, ayi wunkamba: “Tuma bakula Mesia” (dizina dinsundula Klistu),
42 bosi, wunnata kuidi Yesu. Bo Yesu kammona, wunkamba: “Ngie widi Simoni, muana Yoane. Tona bubu, bankuiza kutedilanga Sefa” (dizina dinsundula Petelo).
43 Mu kilumbu kilanda, Yesu waba tomba kukuenda ku Ngalili. Bosi nandi wudengana Filipi ayi wunkamba: “Yiza ba nlandikini’ama.”
44 Filipi wuba musi Betesaida, divula dibutukila Andele ayi Petelo.
45 Filipi wudengana mvandi Natanaeli, ayi wunkamba: “Tuma bakula mutu no Mose kasonikina mu Minsiku, ayi no Mimbikudi batubila: Yesu, muana Yozefi, musi Nazaleti.”
46 Vayi Natanaeli wunyuvula: “Bukiedika ti ku Nazaleti, kulenda basikila kiuma kimboti?” Filipi wuntambudila: “Yiza mona.”
47 Bo Yesu kamona Natanaeli kufikama, nandi wutuba matedi nandi: “Awowo, widi musi Isaeli wukiedika, no wukhambu vunanga.”
48 Bosi Natanaeli wunyuvula: “A Mfumu, kuidi ngie wunzabidi?” Yesu wumvutudila: “Ava Filipi ka kutela, bo ngie bedi ku tsi mfigu, minu yibe kumona.”
49 Natanaeli wunkamba: “Rabi, ngie widi Muana Nzambi, ngie widi Ntinu wu Isaeli.”
50 Yesu wumvutudila: “Ngie bekikinina, kibila yibe kukamba ti yibe kumona ku tsi mfigu? Ngie wunkuiza mona mambu malutidi kena amama.”
51 Bosi nandi wuba kamba: “Yiku lukamba mu bukiedika ti: Benu muala mona diyilu kuzibuka, ayi muala mona zimbasi zi Nzambi kukuluka ayi kumaka, mu kibila ki Muana Mutu.”
