1 Mu nnaku ezo Yokaana Omubatiza n’ajja ng’abuulira mu ddungu ly’e Buyudaaya ng’agamba nti,
He wode Xammaqiya Yohaannisi, “Xoossaa kawotethay matattida gisho hintte nagaraappe simmite” yaagidi sabbakishe Yihuda bazzo biittaa yis.
2 “Mwenenye, kubanga obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bunaatera okutuuka.”
3 Oyo nnabbi Isaaya gwe yayogerako ng’agamba nti, “Mpulira eddoboozi ly’oyo ayogerera waggulu mu ddungu ng’agamba nti, ‘Mulongoose oluguudo lwa Mukama, muluŋŋamye amakubo ge!’”
Nabiya Isayaasi Yohaannisabaa odidayssa mela, “Bazzo biittan, issoy ba qaala dhoqqu oothidi, ‘Godaa ogiya giigisite. Iya horogaa piddi oothite’ gis” yaagettiday iyassa yaagis.
4 Ebyambalo bya Yokaana byakolebwa mu bwoya bwa ŋŋamira, era nga yeesibya lukoba lwa ddiba. N’emmere ye yali nzige na mubisi gwa njuki.
Yohaannisi gimale ikiseppe oosettida afila ma77ees. Ba xeessan dafo danccees. I miya kathayka boolenne degera eesi.
5 Abantu bangi ne bava mu Yerusaalemi ne mu Buyudaaya mwonna ne mu bifo ebiriraanye Yoludaani ne bajja mu ddungu okuwulira by’abuulira.
Asay he wode Yerusalaame katamaappe, Yihuda biitta ubbaafenne Yorddaanose Shaafaa heerappe iyaakko yoosona.
6 N’ababatiza mu mugga Yoludaani, nga baatula ebibi byabwe.
Bantta nagaraa paaxidi Yorddaanose Shaafan Yohaannisa kushen xammaqettosona.
7 Naye bwe yalaba Abafalisaayo bangi n’Abasaddukaayo nga bajja okubatizibwa n’abagamba nti, “Mmwe, abaana b’essalambwa, ani yabalabula okudduka obusungu bwa Katonda obugenda okujja?
Yohaannisi, daro Farisaawetinne Saduqaaweti xammaqettanaw baakko yeyssata be7idi, enttako, “Ha iita shooshatoo, yaana Xoossaa hanquwafe baqatana mela hinttena oone zoriday?
8 Kale mubale ebibala ebiraga nti Mwenenyeza.
Hiza, hinttee, hintte nagaraappe simmidayssa erisiyabaa oothite.
9 Temulowooza mu mitima gyammwe nti, ‘Tuli bulungi kubanga tuli Bayudaaya, abaana ba Ibulayimu, tetufaayo, tetulina kye twetaaga.’ Ekyo tekibasigula. Mbategeeza nti, Katonda ayinza okufuula amayinja gano abaana ba Ibulayimu!
Hinttee, hintte wozanan, ‘Abrahamey, nu aaway de7ees’ gidi qoppofite. Loythi si7ite! Xoossay ha shuchchatappe Abrahames na7a kessanaw dandda7ees.
10 Kaakano embazzi ya Katonda eteekeddwa ku buli kikolo kya muti, omuti ogutabala bibala birungi, gutemebwa gusuulibwe mu muliro.
Beexey mithaa xaphuwan giigidi uttis; lo77o ayfe ayfonna mitha ubbay qanxettidi taman yegettana.
11 “Nze mbabatiza na mazzi okutuuka ku kwenenya, naye waliwo omulala ajja, oyo ye ansinga amaanyi era sisaanira na kukwata ngatto ze, oyo alibabatiza ne Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’omuliro.
“Hinttee, hintte nagaraappe simmidayssa erisanaw taani hinttena haathan xammaqays. Shin taappe guyera yeyssi hinttena Geeshsha Ayyaananinne taman xammaqana. I taappe daro wolqqaamees; taani hari attoshin iya caammaa tookkanawukka bessike.
12 Ekikuŋŋunta kiri mu mukono gwe, alirongoosa egguuliro lye. Eŋŋaano aligitereka mu tterekero lye, naye ebisusunku alibyokya mu muliro ogutazikira.”
Kathaa geeshshiya pithey iya kushen de7ees. Kathaa loythi geeshshees; gisttiya ba shaaliyan qolana, shin punuwa to7onna taman xuuggana” yaagis.
13 Awo Yesu n’ava e Ggaliraaya n’ajja ku mugga Yoludaani, abatizibwe Yokaana.
He wode Yesuusi Yohaannisa kushen xammaqettanaw Galiilappe Yorddaanose Shaafaa bis.
14 Naye Yokaana n’ayagala okugaana, n’agamba nti, “Nze neetaaga ggwe okumbatiza, naye ate gw’ojja gye ndi?”
Shin Yohaannisi iya digganaw koyid, “Taani nenan xammaqettanaw koshshishin neeni taakko yay?” yaagis.
15 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Kkiriza ombatize, kubanga kitugwanidde okutuukiriza obutuukirivu bwonna.” Awo Yokaana n’amukkiriza.
Shin Yesuusi zaaridi, “Xoossay nuuppe koyabaa ubbaa nu polanaw bessiya gisho, ha77i taw ero ga” yaagis. Yohaannisi iyaw ero gidi ekkis.
16 Awo amangwago Yesu nga yakamala okubatizibwa nga yaakava mu mazzi, eggulu ne libikkuka n’alaba Omwoyo wa Katonda ng’amukkako mu kifaananyi ky’ejjiba.
Yesuusi xammaqettida mela haathaafe keyis. Iirakka saloy dooyettin Xoossaa Ayyaanay holleda yishin qassi ba bolla wol77ammidi wodhdhishin be7is.
17 Eddoboozi ne liva mu ggulu ne ligamba nti, “Ono ye Mwana wange omwagalwa gwe nsanyukira ennyo.”
He wode, “Ta dosiya, iyan tana ufayssiya ta na7ay hayssa” yaagiya qaalay saloppe yis.
