Matthew 3
1 Now in those days came John the baptist preaching in the desert part 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 is at hand:
“Ku tuba, domin mulkin sama ya kusa.”
3 for this is He who was spoken of by Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the desert, "Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight."
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 And this John had his clothes of camels hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, 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 went, out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the country about Jordan,
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 Jordan, confessing their sins.
Ya yi masu baftisma a Kogin Urdun, yayinda suke furta zunubansu.
7 But when he saw many of the pharisees and sadducees coming to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
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 Bring forth therefore fruits becoming: penitents: and do not say within your selves,
Ku ba da 'ya'ya da za su nuna tubanku.
9 "We have Abraham for our father:" for I tell you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
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 And now the ax is laid to the root of the trees; every tree therefore, which yieldeth not good fruit, is 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 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance; but He that cometh after me, is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to carry: He shall baptize you with the holy Spirit and with fire.
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 Whose fan is in his hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and gather the wheat into his granary, but will burn up the chaff 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 cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized by him: but John refused Him, saying,
Sai Yesu ya zo daga kasar Galili, ya je Kogin Urdun wurin Yahaya, domin ya yi masa baftisma.
14 I have need to be baptized by thee, and comest thou 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 Jesus answering said unto him, Permit it now; for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness.
Yesu ya amsa masa ya ce, “Bari ya zama haka a yanzu, domin a cika dukan adalci.” Sai Yahaya ya yarje masa.
16 Then he permitted Him. And Jesus as soon as He was baptized came up from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened unto Him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and coming upon 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 lo, 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.''
