Matthew 3
1 And in those dayes, Iohn the Baptist came and preached in the wildernes of Iudea,
Munsiku zila u Yohana Umwozyo ahinzile alumbilile hunyika iya hu Yuda ahaga,
2 And said, Repent: for the kingdome of heauen is at hand.
“Mulambe pipo ubhumwini uwahumwanya bhusojeliye.”
3 For this is he of whome it is spoken by the Prophet Esaias, saying, The voyce of him that crieth in the wildernes, Prepare ye the way of the Lord: make his pathes straight.

4 And this Iohn had his garment of camels heare, and a girdle of a skinne about his loynes: his meate was also locusts and wilde hony.
Ishi Uyohana ahakwite amasepe agingamia ni lamba ilyingozi musana wakwe, ishalye shakwe shahali nzije nu woshi uwa mwisengo.
5 Then went out to him Ierusalem and all Iudea, and all the region rounde about Iordan.
Habhili Muyerusalemu, Iyuda yonti, ni sehemu yonti yeyahazyangulile isoho Iyordani bhahabhala hukwakwe.
6 And they were baptized of him in Iordan, confessing their sinnes.
Bhahozewaga nawo mwisoho mu Yordani bhalambaga hwangwubhi imbibhi zyabho.
7 Now when he sawe many of the Pharises, and of the Sadduces come to his baptisme, he said vnto them, O generations of vipers, who hath forewarned you to flee from the anger to come?
Lwahabhalola abhinji abhamafalisayo na masadukayo lwebhahwuzya, “Amwe mwimpapo izyi nzoha izyi sumu wenu yabhasoshile huyishimbile inkuni yihwinza?
8 Bring foorth therefore fruite worthy amendment of life.
Mupape amadondo gegahwanziwa alaabe.
9 And thinke not to say with your selues, We haue Abraham to our father: for I say vnto you, that God is able euen of these stones to raise vp children vnto Abraham.
Mgandi asibhe na ayanjizanye hulimwe mwe, 'Tulinawo u Ibrahimu ye yise witu.' Pipo imbabhuzya aje Ungulubhi angamwimishizya u Ibrahimu abhana afumilane na mawe iga.
10 And now also is the axe put to the roote of the trees: therfore euery tree which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewen downe, and cast into ye fire.
Intemu iliho ibhihwile hunzizi ugwi kwi. Ishi ikwi lyolyonti lyesalipapa amadondo lidumulwa na tajilwe mu mwoto.
11 In deede I baptize you with water to amendment of life, but he that commeth after me, is mightier then I, whose shoes I am not worthie to beare: hee will baptize you with the holy Ghost, and with fire.
Ihubhozya na manzi hunongwa ya lambe. Ishi umwene yahwinza badala yani ngosi kuliko ani. Nanisihwanziwa abhusye iyilyatu vyakwe. Umwene asibhozye hwa mpepo umfinjile na humwoto.
12 Which hath his fanne in his hand, and wil make cleane his floore, and gather his wheate into his garner, but will burne vp the chaffe with vnquenchable fire.

13 Then came Iesus from Galile to Iordan vnto Iohn, to be baptized of him.
Nantele u Yesu ahinza afume hu Galilaya mpaka mwisoho Iyorodani ahwozewe nu Yohana.
14 But Iohn earnestly put him backe, saying, I haue neede to be baptized of thee, and commest thou to me?
Uyohana ahandaga akhane aje, “Asahamwozye pipo u Yesu gosi ashile u Yohana?”
15 Then Iesus answering, saide to him, Let be nowe: for thus it becommeth vs to fulfill all righteousnes. So he suffered him.
U Yesu ahayanga ahaga, “Nini ihurusu awe unozye, maana ihwanziwa aje inkamilisye ilyoli yonti.” U Yohana pa ahamwozya u Yesu.
16 And Iesus when hee was baptized, came straight out of the water. And lo, the heaues were opened vnto him, and Iohn saw the Spirit of God descending like a doue, and lighting vpon him.
Baada ya hwozewe u Yesu ahafumile muminzi ahenya imwaaya zyahamwigushiye, nantele ahanola umpepo wa Ngulubhi ahwiha hushifwani shinjibha na ahwimilile pamwanya yakwe.
17 And loe, a voyce came from heauen, saying, This is my beloued Sonne, in whome I am well pleased.
Izwi, lyahafumile humwanya lyahaga, “Unu mwana wani uganwa. Indi ni insungwo nawo hani.”
