And in the fifteenth year of the government of Tiberius Caesar—Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip, tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Haanaynne Qayafay waana qeeseta gidida wode Xoossa qaalay baazo biittan diza Zakarassa na Yanisakko yides.
[and] Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests—there came a word of God to John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness,
3 Yaanisay Yordanose shoore achchan diza dereta wurson “inte nagara atto gaanas nagarappe simmidi xamaqqetite” gidi yoottides.
and he came to all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming an immersion of conversion for forgiveness of sins,
4 Hessika qasse nabe Isayaasay bazon hizgidi wassiza asa koshinch “Godas oge giigissite baassidikka lo7ethite.
as it has been written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the LORD, Make His paths straight;
5 Shoobba biittay wuri kumana guutha zumayne gita zumay wuri ziq gaana geella ogey sitta moorettida ogey lo7o gidana.
Every valley will be filled, And every mountain and hill will be made low, And the crooked will become straightness, And the rough become smooth ways;
6 Asa zerethi wuri ashshizza Xoossa woliqqa beyana giidi bazon wassiza asa qaala giireth” giidi ba maxaafan xaafida mala.
And all flesh will see the salvation of God.”
7 Yanisaykka iza kushen xamaqqistana yiza asas “inteno ha shoosha nayto yaana diza Xoossa hanqqofe haakkana mala ooni intena zoridee?
Then he said to the multitudes coming forth to be immersed by him, “Brood of vipers! Who prompted you to flee from the coming wrath?
8 Inte naggara oothoppe simmidayssa erisiza ootho oothite (Abramey nu aaway nuus dees) gusi aggitte gides. Xoossi bees giikko ha shuchchatappe Abrames na oothi denthaanas dandda7izayssa erite”
Make, therefore, fruits worthy of conversion, and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have a father—Abraham; for I say to you that God is able to raise children to Abraham out of these stones;
9 Beyxxey mith qanxanas miththa xaphon dees. Lo7o ayfe ayfontta iita mithi wuri qanxettidi taman yegistana.
and also the axe is already laid to the root of the trees, every tree, therefore, not making good fruit is cut down, and it is cast into fire.”
10 Asaykka “histtini ay oothooni” giidi oychchides.
And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, “What, then, will we do?”
11 Yanisaykka asas “nam77u mayoy diza issi mayoy bayndda asas imo qassekka qumay dizaykka shaakkidi immo” gides.
And he answering says to them, “He having two coats, let him impart to him having none; and he having food, let him do in like manner.”
12 Qaraxa shiishizayttikka xamaqqistanaas yiidi “tamarisizayso nu ay oothino?” gida.
And there also came tax collectors to be immersed, and they said to him, “Teacher, what will we do?”
13 Izikka “inte azazettidayssafe bollara qaraxa shiishoppite” gides.
And he said to them, “Exact no more than that directed you.”
14 Wotadarattikka “nuni qasse ay oothino” giidi oychchida. izikka “oona miishshakka gidin dafi ekkofite qassekka oonane wordon mootopite inte damozay intes giddana” gides.
And also questioning him were those warring, saying, “And we, what will we do?” And he said to them, “Do violence to no one, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.”
15 Asay Yanisa beyidi haysi kirstossa? giidi ba wozinan sidhides.
And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ;
16 Yanisaykka wursos “tani intena haathan xamaqays gido attin ta iza caamma birshaanas besoontta tappe aadhdhizaddey yaana. izi intena Xillo Ayaananne taman xamaqqana.
John answered, saying to all, “I indeed immerse you in water, but He comes who is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to loose the strap of His sandals—He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and fire;
17 Kath suragiza layiday iza kushen dees. Balezza kumetha geeshshanna gistteza qasse di7en qollana gafezakka to7onta taman xuugana” gides.
whose winnowing shovel [is] in His hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse His floor, and will gather the wheat into His storehouse, and He will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
18 Yanissay asa hara dumma dumma zore qaalara minnithethi zorishe mishrachcho qaala yoottides.
And therefore, indeed, with many other things, exhorting, he was proclaiming good news to the people,
19 Gido attin Galila biitta haariza Herdoosay ba isha machcho Herooddiyaado ekkida gishine hara daro iita oothida gish Yanisay iza hanqqida gish
and Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and concerning all the evils that Herod did,
20 kase mooro bolla hara gujjidi Herdossay Yaanisa woyne keeththan yegides.
added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison.
21 Asay xamaqqettidappe guyyen Yesussaykka xamaqqetides, izi woosishin saloy doyettides.
And it came to pass, in all the people being immersed, Jesus also being immersed, and praying, Heaven was opened,
22 Xillo Ayyaanaykka wole milattida iza bolla wodhides. “saloppe ta dosiza nay nena nenan tani ufa7istays” giza qaalay yides.
and the Holy Spirit came down in a bodily appearance, as if a dove, on Him, and a voice came out of Heaven, saying, “You are My Son, the Beloved, in You I delighted.”
