cjjc:

jesteś - You are
jestem - I am

so far so good.

cjjc:

jest - You

Not you, that is Jesteś

ono jest = he is
Ona jest = she is
On jest = it is

You should take them all together so you can see them and see the similarities with all the other verbs. This is the simple version (not too much gender involved)

I am Ja jestem

you are Ty jesteś

he is Ono Jest

she is Ona Jest

it is On jest

we are Wy Jesteśmy

youz are Cie Jesteście (in Irish English we youz for you plural)

they are Oni są

For example if there is an Isalnd with a billion women on it we say "Oni Są"(they plural female are) if you put one man on the same Island with the billion women it becomes "One są" (they plural male are).
I asked a friend why it all changes, she quickly replied a billion women and one man, this changes everything;)

You are absolutely right, Sorry about that. looks like I should go back to basics, not a bad idea, just a quick revision.

The correct list is

I am Ja jestem

you are Ty jesteś

he is On Jest

she is Ona Jest

it is Ono jest

we are Wy Jesteśmy

youz are Cie Jesteście

they are Oni są

I've given out my fair share of bad ones in the past!
I might be wrong...
"Jesteś?"
"Are you there?"
