Matthew 3
1 Now in those days, John the Baptist arrived, preaching in the desert of Judea,
A kwanakin nan Yahaya Mai baftisma ya zo, yana wa'azi a jejin Yahudiya yana cewa,
2 and saying: “Repent. For the kingdom of heaven has drawn near.”
“Ku tuba, domin mulkin sama ya kusa.”
3 For this is the one who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah, saying: “A voice crying out in the desert: Prepare the way of the Lord. Make straight his paths.”
Wannan shine wanda annabi Ishaya ya yi maganarsa, ya ce, “Muryar wani mai kira a jeji yana cewa, 'Ku shirya wa Ubangiji hanyarsa, ku daidaita tafarkunsa.''
4 Now the same John had a garment made from the hair of camels, and a leather belt around his waist. And his food was locusts and wild honey.
Yahaya kuwa yana sanye da tufa ta gashin rakumi, yana kuma daure da damarar fata, abincinsa kuwa fara ne da zuman jeji.
5 Then Jerusalem, and all Judea, and the entire region around the Jordan went out to him.
Sai mutanen Urushalima, da na dukan Yahudiya, da na duk kasashen bakin Kogin Urdun, suka yi ta zuwa wurin sa.
6 And they were baptized by him in the Jordan, acknowledging their sins.
Ya yi masu baftisma a Kogin Urdun, yayinda suke furta zunubansu.
7 Then, seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees arriving for his baptism, he said to them: “Progeny of vipers, who warned you to flee from the approaching wrath?
Amma da ya ga Farisawa da Sadukiyawa da yawa, suna fitowa domin a yi masu baftisma, sai ya ce masu, “Ku 'ya'yan macizai masu dafi, wa ya gargade ku ku guje wa fushi mai zuwa?
8 Therefore, produce fruit worthy of repentance.
Ku ba da 'ya'ya da za su nuna tubanku.
9 And do not choose to say within yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that God has the power to raise up sons to Abraham from these stones.
Kada kuwa ku dauka a ranku cewa, 'Ibrahim ne ubanmu.' Domin ina gaya maku, Allah yana da iko ya ta da wa Ibrahim 'ya'ya daga cikin duwatsun nan.
10 For even now the axe has been placed at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that does not produce good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire.
Ko yanzu ma an sa gatari a gindin bishiyoyin. Saboda haka duk bishiyar da ba ta ba da 'ya'ya masu kyau ba, sai a sare ta a jefa a wuta.
11 Indeed, I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who will come after me is more powerful than me. I am not worthy to carry his shoes. He will baptize you with the fire of the Holy Spirit.
Na yi maku baftisma da ruwa, zuwa tuba. Amma mai zuwa baya na, ya fi ni girma, wanda ko takalmansa ma ban isa in dauka ba. Shi ne zai yi maku baftisma da Ruhu Mai Tsarki, da kuma wuta.
12 His winnowing fan is in his hand. And he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. And he will gather his wheat into the barn. But the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”
Kwaryar shikarsa na hannunsa, zai kuwa share masussukarsa sarai, ya tara alkamarsa ya sa a rumbunsa, amma zai kona buntun da wutar da ba za a iya kashewa ba.”
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee, to John at the Jordan, in order to be baptized by him.
Sai Yesu ya zo daga kasar Galili, ya je Kogin Urdun wurin Yahaya, domin ya yi masa baftisma.
14 But John refused him, saying, “I ought to be baptized by you, and yet you come to me?”
Amma Yahaya ya yi ta kokarin ya hana shi, yana cewa, “Ni da nake bukatar ka yi mani baftisma, ka zo gare ni?”
15 And responding, Jesus said to him: “Permit this for now. For in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all justice.” Then he allowed him.
Yesu ya amsa masa ya ce, “Bari ya zama haka a yanzu, domin a cika dukan adalci.” Sai Yahaya ya yarje masa.
16 And Jesus, having been baptized, ascended from the water immediately, and behold, the heavens were opened to him. And he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on him.
Bayan da aka yi masa baftisma, Yesu ya fito nan da nan daga cikin ruwan, sai kuma sammai suka bude masa. Ya ga Ruhun Allah yana saukowa kamar kurciya, ya sauko a kansa.
17 And behold, there was a voice from heaven, saying: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Duba, wata murya daga sammai tana cewa, ''Wannan shi ne kaunataccen Da na. Wanda ya gamshe ni sosai.''
