Kuwerenga Koyamba

Bukhu la Numeri 21: 4-9

21:4	Then they set out from mount Hor, by the way that leads to the Red Sea, to circle around the land of Edom. And the people began to tire of their journey and hardships.
21:5	And speaking against God and Moses, iwo anati: “Why did you lead us away from Egypt, so as to die in the wilderness? Bread is lacking; there are no waters. Our soul is now nauseous over this very light food.”
21:6	Pachifukwa ichi, the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, which wounded or killed many of them.
21:7	And so they went to Moses, ndipo adati: “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and against you. Pray, so that he may take away these serpents from us.” And Moses prayed for the people.
21:8	Ndipo Yehova anati kwa iye: “Make a bronze serpent, and place it as a sign. Whoever, having been struck, gazes upon it, shall live.”
21:9	Choncho, Moses made a bronze serpent, and he placed it as a sign. When those who had been struck gazed upon it, they were healed.

Uthenga Wopatulika Malinga ndi Yohane 3: 13-17

3:13	And no one has ascended to heaven, except the one who descended from heaven: the Son of man who is in heaven.
3:14	And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so also must the Son of man be lifted up,
3:15	so that whoever believes in him may not perish, but may have eternal life.
3:16	For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that all who believe in him may not perish, but may have eternal life.
3:17	For God did not send his Son into the world, in order to judge the world, but in order that the world may be saved through him.
