In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother was tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,

during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
3 Yaanisay Yordanose shoore achchan diza dereta wurson “inte nagara atto gaanas nagarappe simmidi xamaqqetite” gidi yoottides.
He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins,
4 Hessika qasse nabe Isayaasay bazon hizgidi wassiza asa koshinch “Godas oge giigissite baassidikka lo7ethite.
as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for 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 brought low. The crooked roads will be made straight, and the rough ways will be made smooth.

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?
John said to the crowds that were coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers, who warned 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”
Produce fruit consistent with repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you that God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.
9 Beyxxey mith qanxanas miththa xaphon dees. Lo7o ayfe ayfontta iita mithi wuri qanxettidi taman yegistana.
Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10 Asaykka “histtini ay oothooni” giidi oychchides.
So the crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”
11 Yanisaykka asas “nam77u mayoy diza issi mayoy bayndda asas imo qassekka qumay dizaykka shaakkidi immo” gides.
John answered them, “Whoever has two tunics must share with him who has none, and whoever has food must do likewise.”
12 Qaraxa shiishizayttikka xamaqqistanaas yiidi “tamarisizayso nu ay oothino?” gida.
Some tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?”
13 Izikka “inte azazettidayssafe bollara qaraxa shiishoppite” gides.
He said to them, “Collect no more than what you have been authorized to collect.”
14 Wotadarattikka “nuni qasse ay oothino” giidi oychchida. izikka “oona miishshakka gidin dafi ekkofite qassekka oonane wordon mootopite inte damozay intes giddana” gides.
Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” He said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone by threats or false accusations, and be content with your wages.”
15 Asay Yanisa beyidi haysi kirstossa? giidi ba wozinan sidhides.
Now as the people were waiting in expectation and were all questioning in their hearts whether John might 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 them all, “I baptize you with water, but one is coming who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
17 Kath suragiza layiday iza kushen dees. Balezza kumetha geeshshanna gistteza qasse di7en qollana gafezakka to7onta taman xuugana” gides.
His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly clean out his threshing floor and gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.”
18 Yanissay asa hara dumma dumma zore qaalara minnithethi zorishe mishrachcho qaala yoottides.
With these and many other exhortations John preached 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
But when John rebuked Herod the tetrarch because of his marriage to Herodias, his brother's wife, and because of all the evils he had done,
20 kase mooro bolla hara gujjidi Herdossay Yaanisa woyne keeththan yegides.
Herod added this to everything else: He locked John up in prison.
21 Asay xamaqqettidappe guyyen Yesussaykka xamaqqetides, izi woosishin saloy doyettides.
Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus had also been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened,
22 Xillo Ayyaanaykka wole milattida iza bolla wodhides. “saloppe ta dosiza nay nena nenan tani ufa7istays” giza qaalay yides.
and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “Yoʋ are my beloved Son; in yoʋ I am well pleased.”
