< Mataio 3 >
1 I A mau la la i hele mai ai o Ioane Bapetite, e ao ana ma ka waonahele i Iudea, i ka i ana ae,
Gene mobhago gubhakoposhele a Yowana bhaabhatisha, bhalilunguya kuanga ja ku Yudea,
2 E mihi oukou, no ka mea, ua kokoke mai nei ke aupuni o ka lani.
bhalinkuti, “Mwiipetanje, pabha Upalume gwa Kunnungu ubhandishile.”
3 Oia no ka mea i oleloia mai e ke kaula e Isaia, i ka i ana mai, Ka leo o ka mea e kala ana ma ka waonahele, E hoomakaukau oukou i alanui no Iehova, e hana i kona mau kuamoo i pololei.
Bhenebha a Yowana bhalugwilwe na ankulondola bha a Nnungu a Ishaya bhalinkuti, “Lilobhe lika mundu linapilikanika kuanga, ‘Mwaalashiyanje Bhakulungwa mpanda gwabho, Nngoloyanje mushibhapite.’”
4 Ua aahu iho la o ua Ioane la i ke kapa hulu kamelo, a he kaei ili ma kona puhaka; a he uhini kaua ai, a me ka meli o ka nahelehele.
A Yowana shibhawalaga shiwalo sha mabhetya ga ngamia, na nshipi gwa lipende nshigunu. Shalya shabho pushaaliji maije na bhushi gwa mukonde.
5 Alaila, hele aku la ko Ierusalema a me ko Iudea a pau io na la, a me ko na wahi a pau e kokoke ana ma Ioredane.
Bhai, bhandunji kukoposhela ku Yelushalemu na nkowa gowe gwa ku Yudea na ilambo yowe ya nnyenje lushi lwa Yolodani, gubhaajendelenje.
6 A bapetizoia iho la lakou e ia iloko o Ioredane, me ka hai ana mai i ko lakou hewa.
Bhakaipetanjeje yambi yabhonji na bhalabho gubhaabhatishenje mmashi ga lushi lwa Yolodani.
7 A ike aku la ia, he nui na Parisaio a me na Sadukaio i hele mai e bapetizoia'i e ia, i aku la oia ia lakou, E ka hanauna moonihoawa, nawai oukou i ao aku e holo i pakele ai i ka iuaina e kau mai ana?
Ikabheje a Yowana bhakaabhonanjeje Mapalishayo na Mashadukayo bhabhagwinji bhalikwaajiilanga nkupinga bhabhatishwanje, gubhaalugulilenje, “Mmanganya bhana bha lijoka! Gani ammalanjilenje nnjibhutukanje nnjimwa ja a Nnungu jikwiya?
8 E hua ae oukou i ka hua e ku i ka mihi.
Bhai nnanguyanje kwa itendi, kuti mwiipetilenje.
9 Mai manao oukou e ohumu iloko o oukou iho, o Aberahama ko kakou kupuna; no ka mea, ke i aku nei au ia oukou, e hiki no i ke Akua ke hoala ae mai keia mau pohaku mai i poe mamo na Aberahama.
Nnaganishiyanje mmitima jenunji kuti, ‘Uwe, ulongo gwa a Bhulaimu!’ Ngunakummalanjilanga kuti, a Nnungu bhanakombola kugayuya aga magangaga gabhe bha ulongo bha a Bhulaimu.
10 Ano hoi, ke waiho nei ke koi lipi ma ke kumu o na laau, a o kela laau o keia laau e hua ole mai ana i ka hua maikai, e kua ia ilalo a e kiolaia'ku ia i ke ahi.
Na libhago libhishilwe tayali mmatepo ga mikongo, bhai kila nkongo ukaogoya iepo ya mmbone upinga shelwa nileshelwa pa moto.
11 Owau no ke bapetizo aku nei ia oukou i ka wai, no ka mihi; aka, o ka mea e hele mai ana mahope o'u, he nui aku kona mana i ko'u, aole au e pono ke lawe i kona mau kamaa; nana oukou e bapetizo aku i ka Uhane Hemolele a me ke ahi.
Nne ngunakummatishanga kwa mashi kulangula kuti mwiipetilenje. Ikabheje bhene bhakwiya nnyuma jangubho bhashikola mashili kumbunda nne, numbe ngaatopela nkali jigala ilatu yabho. Bhenebho shibhammatishanje kwa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo na moto.
12 Aia no ma kona lima kana peahi, a e hoomaemae pono ana ia i kana huaai; a e hoiliili hoi ia i kana palaoa iloko o ka hale papaa, a e hoopau aku i ka opala i ke ahi pio ole.
Bhenebho bhashikamula shipeta mmakono gabho nkupinga bhapete, ngano bhabhishe munngokwe na maashe bhajoshe pa moto gwangaimika.”
13 Alaila, hele mai la o Iesu, mai Galilaia mai i Ioredaue io Ioane la, e bapetizoia'i e ia.
Gene mobhago a Yeshu gubhaishe ku lushi lwa Yolodani kukoposhela ku Galilaya, gubhaajendele a Yowana nkupinga bhabhatishwe.
14 Hoole aku la o Ioane ia ia, i aku ia, Owau kau e bapetizo mai e pono ai; a ke hele mai nei anei oe io'u nei?
Ikabheje a Yowana gubhalinjile kwaibhilila bhalinkuti, “Nne namwene ngunapinga bhatishwa na mmwe, pakuti nnanyiila nne?”
15 Olelo mai la o Iesu, i mai la ia ia, E ae mai oe ano, no ka mea, pela kaua e pono ai ke malama i ka pono a pau: alaila, ae aku la kela ia ia.
Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaajangwile, “Nnaino mmwe nneshepe ibhe nneyo, pabha inapinjikwa tutende yowe ibhaapinga a Nnungu.” Bhai, a Yowana gubhakundile.
16 A bapetizoia o Iesu, alaila, pii koke mai la ia mai ka wai mai; aia hoi, hamama ae la ka lani nona, a ikea aku la ka Uhane o ke Akua e iho mai ana me ho mainu nunu la, a kau iho la maluna iho ona.
A Yeshu bhakabhatishweje gubhakopweshe mmashi, shangupe ku nnungu kukuugukaga, gubhammweni Mbumu jwa a Nnungu alituluka mbuti nnjubha nikwaatula panani jabho.
17 Aia hoi, he leo mai ka lani mai, e i mai ana, O ka'u Keiki punahele keia, ka mea a'u i olioli loa ai.
Lilobhe gulipilikanishe koposhela kunnungu, “Jweneju mwanangu jungumpinga annonyela.”
