Matthew 3
1 Now in those days came John the baptist preaching in the desert part of Judea,
Munsiku ejo ejile Yohana unu abhatijaga ejile nalasha mwibhala lya Yuda naikati,”
2 and saying, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand:
Mute, kulwokubha obhukama bhwa mulwile bhulieyi.
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."
“Kulwokubha unu niwe aikilwe nomulagi Isaya naikati,”Obhulaka bhwo munu unu kabhilikila okusoka mwibhala, muteabhwelu injila ya Nyamuanga, mugolole injila yae.”
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.
Oli Yohana afwalaga amakamba ga Ingamila no mukanda gwo lwai muchibhunu chae. Ebhilyo byae byaliga njige no obhuki bhwa mwibhala.
5 Then went, out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the country about Jordan,
Eile Yerusalemu, Yuda yona, na libhala lyona linu lyeindaga omugela gwa Yorodani nibhaja kumwene.
6 and they were baptized by him in Jordan, 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 to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath 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 Bring forth therefore fruits becoming: penitents: and do not say within your selves,
Mwibhule amatwasho ganu geile okuta.
9 "We have Abraham for our father:" for I tell you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Namutajakwiganilisha no kwaikana amwi yemwe,'Chinage Ibrahimu kuti lata weswe.'Kulwokubha nabhabhwilaati Nyamuanga katula okumwimusisha Ibrahimu abhana okusoka kumabhuyi ganu.
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.
Naoli inshoka yateweyo kumisi ja liti. Kulwejo bhuli eti linu litakwibhula matwasho gakisi elitemwa no kweswa mumulilo.
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.
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 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.
No oluungo lwae luli mumabhoko gae okwesha olubhuga lwae nokukumanya ingano yae muchitala. Tali kagocha amakumbi kwo mulilo gunu gutakutula kusima.
13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized by him: but John refused Him, saying,
Neya Yesu naja okusoka Galilaya nakinga ku mugela gwa Yorodani okubhatijibhwa na Yohana.
14 I have need to be baptized by thee, and comest thou to me?
Tali Yohana endaga okumuganya naikati,”Anye jinyiile nibhatijibhwe nawe, kawe ona ouja kwanye?
15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Permit it now; for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness.
Yesu namusubhya naikati,”Ikilisha oli anu jibhe kutyo, kulwokubha jichiile okukumisha obhulengelesi bhwona.”Eile Yohana namwikilisisha.
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:
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 lo, a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Lola obhulaka nibhusoka Mulwile nibhwaika,”Unu ni mwana wani unu nendele unu enikondelwa muno nage.”
