Matthew 3
1 And in those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea
A waɗancan kwanaki, Yohanna Mai Baftisma ya zo, yana wa’azi a Hamadan Yahudiya
2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
yana cewa, “Ku tuba, gama mulkin sama ya yi kusa.”
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.'"
Wannan shi ne wanda aka yi maganarsa ta wurin annabi Ishaya cewa, “Ga murya mai kira a hamada tana cewa, ‘Ku shirya wa Ubangiji hanya, ku miƙe hanyoyi dominsa.’”
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.
Tufafin Yohanna kuwa an yi su da gashin raƙumi ne, yana kuma daure da ɗamara ta fata. Abincinsa kuwa fāri ne da zumar jeji.
5 Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him,
Mutane suka zo wurinsa daga Urushalima da dukan Yahudiya da kuma dukan yankin Urdun.
6 and they were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
Suna furta zunubansu, ya kuma yi musu baftisma a Kogin Urdun.
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?
Amma da Yohanna ya ga Farisiyawa da Sadukiyawa da yawa suna zuwa inda yake yin baftisma, sai ya ce musu, “Ku macizai! Wa ya gargaɗe ku ku guje wa fushin nan mai zuwa?
8 Therefore bring forth fruit worthy of repentance,
Ku yi ayyukan da suka dace da tuba.
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.
Kada ma ku yi tunani a ranku cewa, ‘Ai, Ibrahim ne mahaifinmu.’ Ina gaya muku cewa Allah zai iya tā da’ya’ya wa Ibrahim daga cikin duwatsun nan.
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.
An riga an sa bakin gatari a gindin itatuwa, kuma duk itacen da bai ba da’ya’ya masu kyau ba, za a sare shi a jefa cikin wuta.
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.
“Ina muku baftisma da ruwa domin tuba. Amma wani yana zuwa a bayana wanda ya fi ni iko, wanda ko takalmansa ma ban isa in ɗauka ba. Zai yi muku baftisma da Ruhu Mai Tsarki da kuma wuta.
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."
Yana riƙe da matankaɗinsa, zai tankaɗe hatsinsa, yă kuma tattara alkamarsa a cikin rumbu, amma zai ƙone yayin da wutar da ba a iya kashewa.”
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
Sai Yesu ya zo daga Galili, ya je Urdun don Yohanna yă yi masa baftisma.
14 But John would have hindered him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?"
Amma Yohanna ya so yă hana shi, yana cewa, “Ina bukata ka yi mini baftisma, yaya kake zuwa wurina?”
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.
Yesu ya amsa ya ce, “Bari yă zama haka yanzu; ya dace mu yi haka don mu cika dukan adalci.” Sa’an nan Yohanna ya yarda.
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.
Nan da nan da aka yi wa Yesu baftisma, sai ya fito daga ruwa. A wannan lokaci sama ya buɗe, sai ya ga Ruhun Allah yana saukowa kamar kurciya ya kuwa sauka a kansa.
17 And look, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."
Sai murya daga sama ta ce, “Wannan shi ne Ɗana wanda nake ƙauna; wanda kuma nake jin daɗinsa ƙwarai.”
