Matthew 3
1 And in those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea
Munsiku zila u Yohana Umwozyo ahinzile alumbilile hunyika iya hu Yuda ahaga,
2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
“Mulambe pipo ubhumwini uwahumwanya bhusojeliye.”
3 For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, "The voice of one who calls out in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord. Make his roads straight.'"
Pipo unu yahayangwilwe nukuwa u Isaya ahaga, “Izwi lya muntu ya kwizya afume hujangwani; 'mubhishe tayari idala lya gosi, mugagoloshe amashilo gakwe.”
4 Now John himself wore clothing made of camel's hair and with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
Ishi Uyohana ahakwite amasepe agingamia ni lamba ilyingozi musana wakwe, ishalye shakwe shahali nzije nu woshi uwa mwisengo.
5 Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him,
Habhili Muyerusalemu, Iyuda yonti, ni sehemu yonti yeyahazyangulile isoho Iyordani bhahabhala hukwakwe.
6 and they were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
Bhahozewaga nawo mwisoho mu Yordani bhalambaga hwangwubhi imbibhi zyabho.
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?
Lwahabhalola abhinji abhamafalisayo na masadukayo lwebhahwuzya, “Amwe mwimpapo izyi nzoha izyi sumu wenu yabhasoshile huyishimbile inkuni yihwinza?
8 Therefore bring forth fruit worthy of repentance,
Mupape amadondo gegahwanziwa alaabe.
9 and do not think to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
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 "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.
Intemu iliho ibhihwile hunzizi ugwi kwi. Ishi ikwi lyolyonti lyesalipapa amadondo lidumulwa na tajilwe mu mwoto.
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 Holy Spirit 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 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."
Na ulupapike lwakwe lulimunyobhe zyakwe lupepeta nziila na hwozye na abhunganye ingano zyakwe mushanga. Nantele abhapembe amakapi mumwoto wesebhuzimiha.
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
Nantele u Yesu ahinza afume hu Galilaya mpaka mwisoho Iyorodani ahwozewe nu Yohana.
14 But John would have hindered him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?"
Uyohana ahandaga akhane aje, “Asahamwozye pipo u Yesu gosi ashile u Yohana?”
15 But Jesus, 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.
U Yesu ahayanga ahaga, “Nini ihurusu awe unozye, maana ihwanziwa aje inkamilisye ilyoli yonti.” U Yohana pa ahamwozya u Yesu.
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water; and look, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on 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 look, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."
Izwi, lyahafumile humwanya lyahaga, “Unu mwana wani uganwa. Indi ni insungwo nawo hani.”
