Ngalezonsuku kwafika uJohane uMbhabhathizi, etshumayela enkangala yeJudiya,
2 Vaan ram a yoei coeng dongah yut uh laeh, “tila a thui.
esithi: Phendukani; ngoba umbuso wamazulu ususondele.
3 Anih tah, khosoek kah pang ol loh, “Boeipa kah longpuei saelh uh lamtah a caehlong boeih te a dueng la saii uh, tila tonghma Isaiah loh a thui a phong te ni.
Ngoba nguye okwakhulunywa ngaye nguIsaya umprofethi, esithi: Ilizwi lomemezayo enkangala, lithi: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi; qondisani indledlana zayo.
4 Johan loh kalauk kah a mul himbai te a bai tih, a pumpu ah maehpho cihin a naak. Tangboeng neh kohong khoitui te a buh la om.
Njalo uJohane lo wayelesembatho sakhe soboya bekamela, lozwezwe lwesikhumba ekhalweni lwakhe; lokudla kwakhe kwakuzintethe loluju lweganga.
5 Te vaengah Jerusalem, Judah ram boeih neh Jordan pingpang boeih tah anih taengah cet.
Kwasekuphumela kuye iJerusalema leJudiya yonke lelizwe lonke elizingelezele iJordani;
6 Amih kah tholhnah te a phong uh dongah Johan loh Jordan tuiva ah a nuem uh.
basebebhabhathizwa nguye eJordani bevuma izono zabo.
7 Pharisee rhoek neh Sadducee rhoek khaw anih kah baptisma dang ham muep ha pawk uh te a hmuh. Te vaengah amih te, “Rhulthae cadil rhoek aka tawn uh kosi te rhaelrham tak ham unim nangmih aka tueng.”
Kwathi ebona abanengi babaFarisi labaSadusi besiza ekubhabhathizeni kwakhe, wathi kubo: Nzalo yezinyoka, ngubani olibonise ukubalekela ulaka oluzayo?
8 Te dongah yutnah neh a tiing la a thaih te saii uh.
Ngakho thelani izithelo ezifanele ukuphenduka;
9 A pa Abraham om tila nangmih khui thui ham poek uh boeh. Pathen loh hekah lungto rhoek lamloh Abraham kah ca rhoek a thoh sak thai te nangmih taengah kan thui.
njalo lingacabangi ukutsho phakathi kwenulithi: SiloAbrahama ongubaba; ngoba ngithi kini: UNkulunkulu ulamandla okumvusela uAbrahama abantwana kula amatshe.
10 Thing kah a yung ah hai te a khueh oepsoep coeng tih thaih then aka thaii mueh thingkung te boeih a vung vetih hmai khuila a voeih ni.
Lakhathesi ihloka selibekiwe empandeni yezihlahla; ngakho sonke isihlahla esingatheli isithelo esihle siyaganyulwa siphoselwe emlilweni.
11 Yutnah ham ni kai loh nangmih tui dongah kan nuem. Tedae Kai hnuk ah aka pawk te tah kai lakah tlung. A khokhom dul ham pataeng ka koih pawh. Anih loh nangmih te Mueihla Cim neh hmai neh n'nuem ni.
Mina ngilibhabhathiza ngamanzi kube sekuphendukeni; kodwa yena oza emva kwami ulamandla kulami, engingafanele ukuphatha amanyathela akhe; yena uzalibhabhathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele langomlilo;
12 Anih loh a kut dongkah rha neh amah kah canghlom te a yah vetih, a cang te khai khuila a khoem ni. Canghi te tah aka duek pawh hmai neh a tih ni,” a ti nah.
okhomane lwakhe lokwela lusesandleni sakhe, njalo uzathanyelisisa isibuya sakhe, abesebuthela amabele akhe esiphaleni sakhe, kodwa amakhoba uzawatshisa ngomlilo ongacitshekiyo.
13 Te vaengah Jesuh tah Johan mah loh nuem sak ham te Galilee lamloh Jordan la ha pawk.
Khona uJesu evela eGalili wafika eJordani kuJohane, ukuze abhabhathizwe nguye.
14 Tedae Johan loh anih te a mah tih, “Nang loh nan nuem ham te ka ngoe, dae nang te kai taengah lat na pawk,” a ti nah.
Kodwa uJohane wayemalela esithi: Mina ngiswela ukubhabhathizwa nguwe, kanti wena uza kimi?
15 Tedae Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Ng 'rhoi laeh, duengnah cungkuem loh mamih taengah a soep la a om ham tueng tangloeng coeng,” a ti nah daengah anih te a rhoi pueng.
Kodwa uJesu ephendula wathi kuye: Vuma khathesi; ngoba kusifanele ukuthi sigcwalise ngokunjalo ukulunga konke. Wasemvumela.
16 A nuem nen tah Jesuh khaw tui lamloh pahoi cet. Te vaengah anih hamla vaan te tarha ong uh tih Pathen kah Mueihla tah vahu bangla anih soah a thoeng pah te a hmuh.
UJesu esebhabhathiziwe wahle wakhuphuka emanzini; njalo khangela, amazulu amvulekela, wasebona uMoya kaNkulunkulu esehla kungathi lijuba esiza phezu kwakhe.
17 Te phoeiah vaan lamkah ol loh, “Hetah ka capa thintlo ni, anih dongah ka lungtlun, “pahoi a ti.
Njalo khangela, ilizwi livela emazulwini, lisithi: Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, engithokoza ngayo.
