27 nɔ nɛ e ma ngɛ ye se ɔ, e tokota nya kpa tete po, i sɛ nɔ nɛ e pɛneɔ.”
28 Ní nɛ ɔmɛ ya nɔ ngɛ Betania ngɛ Yɔdan Pa a se, he nɛ Yohane ngɛ nihi baptisie ngɛ ɔ.
29 E nɔ jena a, e na Yesu nɛ e ma e ngɔ nɛ e de ke: “Nyɛɛ hyɛ, Mawu Jijɔ Bi ɔ nɛ e ngɔɔ je ɔ he yayami ɔ kɛ yaa a ji nɛ ɔ nɛ!
30 Nɔ nɛ ɔ ji nɔ nɛ i de ngɛ e he ke: ‘Nyumu ko maa ba ngɛ ye se nɛ́ e sɛ ye hlami, ejakaa e ngɛ loko i ba’ a nɛ.

33 Imi po jinɛ i li lɛ, se Nɔ nɛ e tsɔ mi ke ma ba baptisi ngɛ nyu mi ɔ de mi ke: ‘Nɔ nɛ o maa na kaa mumi ɔ ngɛ si kplee kɛ ma e nɔ, nɛ e maa ya nɔ nɛ e maa hi e nɔ ɔ, lɛ ji nɔ nɛ e baptisiɔ ngɛ mumi klɔuklɔu ɔ mi ɔ nɛ.’
34 Nɛ i na nɔ́ nɛ ɔ, nɛ i ye he odase kaa nɔ nɛ ɔ ji Mawu Bi ɔ nɛ.”
35 E nɔ jena ekohu ɔ, Yohane kɛ e kaseli ɔmɛ a kpɛti ni enyɔ daa si,

38 Kɛkɛ nɛ Yesu plɛ e he, nɛ benɛ e na kaa a ngɛ e se nyɛɛe ɔ, e bi mɛ ke: “Mɛni nyɛ ngɛ hlae?” A de lɛ ke: “Rabi, (nɛ e sisi ji, “Tsɔɔlɔ”), jije o hiɔ?”
39 Nɛ e de mɛ ke: “Nyɛɛ ba, nɛ nyɛ maa na.” Enɛ ɔ he ɔ, a ya nɛ a ya na he nɛ e ngɛ ɔ, nɛ a kɛ lɛ hi lejɛ ɔ ligbi kake; enɛ ɔ ya nɔ maa pee ngmlɛfia nyɔngmane* ɔ mi.

41 E na lɛ nitsɛ e nyɛminyumu Simon kekle, nɛ e de lɛ ke: “Wa na Mesia a” (nɛ e sisi ji “Kristo” ɔ),

43 E nɔ jena a, Yesu ngɛ hlae nɛ e maa je kɛ ho Galilea ya. Kɛkɛ nɛ e na Filipo nɛ e de lɛ ke: “Ba pee ye se nyɛɛlɔ.”
44 Filipo je Betsaida, nɛ ji ma nɛ Andrea kɛ Petro je mi ɔ mi.
45 Filipo na Nataniɛl nɛ e de lɛ ke: “Wa na nɔ nɛ Mose ngma e he sane ngɛ Mlaa a mi, nɛ Gbali ɔmɛ hu ngma e he sane ɔ: Yesu, Yosɛf bi ɔ nɛ e je Nazarɛt ɔ.”
46 Se Nataniɛl bi lɛ ke: “Anɛ nɔ́ kpakpa ko ma nyɛ maa je Nazarɛt kɛ ba lo?” Filipo de lɛ ke: “Ba nɛ o ba hyɛ.”
47 Yesu na Nataniɛl nɛ e ma e ngɔ, nɛ e de ngɛ e he ke: “Nyɛɛ hyɛ, Israel no ngmingmiingmi nɛ lakpa ko be e mi ji nɛ ɔ nɛ.”
48 Nataniɛl bi lɛ ke: “Kɛ o plɛ kɛ le mi kɛɛ?” Yesu ha lɛ heto ke: “Benɛ o ngɛ fig tso ɔ sisi nɛ Filipo ná we nɛ e tsɛ mo lolo ɔ, i na mo.”
49 Nataniɛl he nɔ ke: “Rabi, mo ji Mawu Bi ɔ nɛ, mo ji Israel Matsɛ ɔ nɛ.”
50 Yesu ha lɛ heto ke: “Anɛ akɛnɛ i de mo ke i na mo ngɛ fig tso ɔ sisi ɔ he je nɛ o he ye ɔ lo? O maa na ní nguanguahi pe enɛ ɔmɛ.”
51 Lɔ ɔ se ɔ, e de lɛ ke: “Niinɛ, ngɛ anɔkuale mi ɔ, i ngɛ nyɛ dee ke, nyɛ maa na nɛ hiɔwe nya bli nɛ Mawu bɔfo ɔmɛ ngɛ kuɔe, nɛ a ngɛ kplee kɛ ngɛ nɔmlɔ Bi ɔ ngɔ bae.”
