1 CIYAMBI cace ca Uthenga Wabwino wa Yesu Kristu, Mwana wa Mulungu.
2 Monga mwalembedwa m'Yesaya mneneri,Ona, ndituma mthenga wanga patsogolo pa nkhope yanu,Amene adzakonza njira yanu;
3 Mau a wopfuula m'cipululu, Konzani khwalala la Ambuye, Lungamitsani njira zace;
4 Yohane anadza nabatiza m'cipululu, nalalikira ubatizo wa kutembenuka mtima wakuloza ku cikhululukiro ca macimo.
5 Ndipo anaturuka a ku dziko lonse la Yudeya, ndi a ku Yerusalemu onse; nadza kwa iye nabatizidwa ndi iye mumtsinje Yordano, poulula macimo ao.
6 Ndipo Yohane anabvala ubweya wa ngamila, ndi lamba lacikopa m'cuuno mwace, nadya dzombe ndi uci wa kuthengo.
7 Ndipo analalikira, kuti, Wondipambana ine mphamvu akudza pambuyo panga, sindiyenera kuwerama kumasula lamba la nsapato zace ine.
