Matthew 3
1 And in those days Yukhanan the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Yehuda
Munsiku ejo ejile Yohana unu abhatijaga ejile nalasha mwibhala lya Yuda naikati,”
2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
Mute, kulwokubha obhukama bhwa mulwile bhulieyi.
3 For this is he who was spoken of by Eshayah the prophet, saying, "The voice of one who calls out in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord. Make his roads straight.'"
“Kulwokubha unu niwe aikilwe nomulagi Isaya naikati,”Obhulaka bhwo munu unu kabhilikila okusoka mwibhala, muteabhwelu injila ya Nyamuanga, mugolole injila yae.”
4 Now Yukhanan himself wore clothing made of camel's hair and with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
Oli Yohana afwalaga amakamba ga Ingamila no mukanda gwo lwai muchibhunu chae. Ebhilyo byae byaliga njige no obhuki bhwa mwibhala.
5 Then people from Urishlim, all of Yehuda, and all the region around the Yurdinan went out to him,
Eile Yerusalemu, Yuda yona, na libhala lyona linu lyeindaga omugela gwa Yorodani nibhaja kumwene.
6 and they were baptized by him in the Yurdinan river, confessing their sins.
Bhaliga nibhabhatijwa nage mumugela gwa Yorodani enu nibhataga ebhibhibhi bhyebhwe.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism he said to them, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Tali ejile abhalola bhafu bha mafarisayo na masadukayo nibhaja kumwene okubhatijwa, nabhabhilati,”Emwe olwibhulo lwa injoka bhanu muli no bhusungu niga unu amabhaganya okubhilima lisungu linu elija?
8 Therefore bring forth fruit worthy of repentance,
Mwibhule amatwasho ganu geile okuta.
9 and do not think to yourselves, 'We have Avraham for our father,' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Avraham from these stones.
Namutajakwiganilisha no kwaikana amwi yemwe,'Chinage Ibrahimu kuti lata weswe.'Kulwokubha nabhabhwilaati Nyamuanga katula okumwimusisha Ibrahimu abhana okusoka kumabhuyi ganu.
10 "Even now the axe lies at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.
Naoli inshoka yateweyo kumisi ja liti. Kulwejo bhuli eti linu litakwibhula matwasho gakisi elitemwa no kweswa mumulilo.
11 I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but the one who comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Rukha d'Qudsha and with fire.
Enibhabhatija mu manji kulwokuta. Tali unu kaja inyuma yani ni mukulu kukila anye nanye ntakutula ata kugega bhilato bhyae. Omwene kaja okubhabhatija kwo mwoyo mwelu no mulilo.
12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire."
No oluungo lwae luli mumabhoko gae okwesha olubhuga lwae nokukumanya ingano yae muchitala. Tali kagocha amakumbi kwo mulilo gunu gutakutula kusima.
13 Then Yeshua came from Galila to the Yurdinan to Yukhanan, to be baptized by him.
Neya Yesu naja okusoka Galilaya nakinga ku mugela gwa Yorodani okubhatijibhwa na Yohana.
14 But Yukhanan would have hindered him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?"
Tali Yohana endaga okumuganya naikati,”Anye jinyiile nibhatijibhwe nawe, kawe ona ouja kwanye?
15 But Yeshua, answering, said to him, "Allow it to happen now, for this is the proper way for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed him.
Yesu namusubhya naikati,”Ikilisha oli anu jibhe kutyo, kulwokubha jichiile okukumisha obhulengelesi bhwona.”Eile Yohana namwikilisisha.
16 And Yeshua, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water; and look, the heavens were opened and he saw the Rukha of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.
Ejile amala obhatijwa Yesu nasoka mumanji, nalola, Olwile nilwiguka ku mwene. Namulola mwoyo mwelu wa Nyamuanga natuka kulwolususo lwa inguti nokufung'ama ingulu yae.
17 And look, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."
Lola obhulaka nibhusoka Mulwile nibhwaika,”Unu ni mwana wani unu nendele unu enikondelwa muno nage.”
