And he went through all the country along the Jordan, publishing the immersion of reformation for the remission of sins.
4 nga bwe kyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebigambo bya nnabbi Isaaya nti, “Eddoboozi ly’oyo ayogerera mu ddungu nti, Mulongoose ekkubo lya Mukama, Muluŋŋamye amakubo ge;
As it is written in the book of the prophet Isaiah, "The voice of one proclaiming in the wilderness, Prepare a way for the Lord, make for him a straight passage.
5 Buli kiwonvu kirijjuzibwa, na buli lusozi n’akasozi birisendebwa, na buli ekyakyama kirigololwa, n’obukubo obulimu obugulumugulumu bulifuuka enguudo ez’omuseetwe.
Let every valley be filled, every mountain and hill be levelled; let the crooked roads be made straight, and the rough ways smooth,
6 Abalina omubiri bonna baliraba obulokozi bwa Katonda.”
that all flesh may see the salvation of God."
7 Kyeyava agamba abantu abajjanga gy’ali okubatizibwa nti, “Mmwe abaana b’emisota, ani eyabalabula okudduka obusungu obugenda okujja?
Then said he to the multitudes, who flocked out to be immersed by him, Offspring of vipers, who has prompted you to flee from the impending vengeance?
8 Kale mubale ebibala ebiraga nga mwenenyezza, so temwogera munda zammwe nti tulina jjajjaffe Ibulayimu. Kubanga mbagamba nti Katonda asobola, mu mayinja gano, okuggyiramu Ibulayimu abazzukulu.
Produce, then, the proper fruits of reformation; and say not within yourselves, We have Abraham for a father; for I assure you, that of these stones God can raise children to Abraham.
9 Ne kaakano embazzi eteekeddwa ku kikolo ky’emiti. Noolwekyo buli muti ogutabala bibala birungi gujja kutemebwawo gusuulibwe mu muliro.”
And even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Every tree, therefore, which produces not good fruit, is cut down, and thrown into the fire.
10 Ekibiina ne kimumubuuza nti, “Kale tukole ki?”
Upon this, the multitude asked him, What must we do then?
11 Yokaana n’abaddamu ng’agamba nti, “Alina ekkooti ebbiri, emu agigabire atalina, n’oyo alina emmere aweeko oyo atalina kyakulya.”
He answered, Let him who has two coats, impart to him who has none; and let him who has victuals do the same.
12 Awo abasolooza b’omusolo nabo, ne bajja babatizibwe. Ne babuuza Yokaana nti, “Omuyigiriza tukole ki?”
There came also publicans to be immersed, who said, Rabbi, what must we do?
13 Yokaana n’abaddamu nti, “Temusoloozanga muwendo gusukka ku ogwo ogwalagibwa.”
He answered, Exact no more than what is appointed you.
14 Abaserikale nabo ne babuuza Yokaana nti, “Ate ffe, tukole tutya?” Yokaana n’abagamba nti, “Temuggyangako bantu nsimbi zaabwe. So temubawaayirizanga, n’empeera ebaweebwa ebamalenga.”
Soldiers likewise asked him, And what must we do? He answered, Injure no man, either by violence, or false accusation, and be content with your allowance.
15 Abantu baali balindirira nga basuubira, era nga buli muntu yeebuuza obanga Yokaana ye Kristo.
As the people were in suspense concerning John, every man imagining within himself that he might be the Messiah,
16 Yokaana n’addamu bonna ng’agamba nti, “Nze mbabatiza na mazzi, naye waliwo ajja, alina obuyinza okunsinga, n’okusaanira sisaanira na kusumulula lukoba lwa ngatto ze. Oyo alibabatiza n’omuliro ne Mwoyo Mutukuvu;
John addressed them all, saying, I, indeed, immerse in water; but one mightier than I comes, whose shoe-latchet I am not worthy to untie; he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and fire;
17 n’olugali luli mu mukono gwe okulongoosa egguuliro lye n’okukuŋŋaanyiza eŋŋaano mu tterekero lye, naye ebisusunku alibyokya n’omuliro ogutazikira.”
his winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his grain; he will gather the wheat into his granary, and consume the chaff in unquenchable fire.
18 Yokaana n’abuulirira abantu ebigambo bingi ebirala, nga bw’ababuulira Enjiri.
And with many other exhortations, he published the good tidings to the people.
19 Naye Yokaana bwe yanenya Kerode, omufuzi, olw’okutwala Kerodiya eyali muka muganda we, n’olw’ebibi ebirala Kerode bye yali akoze,
But Herod, the tetrarch, having been reproved by him, on account of Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the crimes which Herod had committed,

added this to the number, that he confined John in prison.
21 Olunaku lumu, abantu bonna abaaliwo nga babatizibwa, ne Yesu n’abatizibwa. Yesu n’asaba, eggulu ne libikkuka,
Now when John immersed all the people, Jesus was likewise immersed; and while he prayed, the heaven was opened,
22 Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’amukkako mu kifaananyi eky’ejjiba. Eddoboozi ne liva mu ggulu ne ligamba nti, “Ggwe Mwana wange omwagalwa gwe nsanyukira ennyo.”
and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in a bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my Son, the beloved; in thee I delight.
