ULukha 3
1 Kwathi ngomnyaka wetshumi lanhlanu wokubusa kukaTiberiyosi uKesari, uPontiyusi Pilatu engumbusi weJudiya, loHerodi engumtetrarki weGalili, loFiliphu umfowabo engumtetrarki weIturiya lelizweni iTrakoniti, loLisaniya engumtetrarki weAbilene,
Anyimo ani we ni kirau inti cibi ati gomo ti Kaisar Agusta, Bilatus Babunti inti gumna tu Yahudiya, Hiridus inti gomo to Galili, Uhenu umeme Filibus inti gomo tu Ituriya nan Tirakonitis, Lisaniyas inti gomo tu Abiliya.
2 uAnasi loKayafasi bengabapristi abakhulu, ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lafika kuJohane indodana kaZakariya enkangala.
Uganiya me Hanana nan kayata we wani ana dandang aka tuma ka Asere, tize ta Asere ti ē Yohanna usam uzakariya anyimo ani jaa.
3 Wasesiza esigabeni sonke seJordani esizingelezeleyo, etshumayela ubhabhathizo lokuphenduka kube yikuthethelelwa kwezono;
Ma haki vat ati hihira sa ta kete uraba urdu, unu bezizi utize ta Asere nan ubaptisma ubarka barki uvette ucaran.
4 njengokulotshiweyo egwalweni lwamazwi kaIsaya umprofethi, ukuthi: Ilizwi lomemezayo enkangala lithi: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi; qondisani indledlana zayo.
Kasi uyerte utize ti Ishaya unu kurzuzo utize ta Asere, “Ni Myiran unu tissa ani Jaa, 'Barkani unaa Asere, Barkani tinaa tumeme dret.
5 Sonke isigodi sizagqitshwa, layo yonke intaba loqaqa kuzakwehliswa; njalo kuzaqondiswa amazombazombe, lamaxhakaxhaka ezindlela azalungiswa;
Kondi uya ugbangbang undi myinca, nan kondi niya nihoho nan nipana nidi tuu, nan ti naa ti mammangaran adi witti tini adi myinciza tinaa me sa tizin inti waa.
6 layo yonke inyama izabona usindiso lukaNkulunkulu.
Vat anuu wadi iri ubura wa Asere”.
7 Ngakho wathi emaxukwini aphumela ukubhabhathizwa nguye: Nzalo yezinyoka, ngubani olixwayise ukubalekela ulaka oluzayo?
Yohana ma gun nigura nanuu me sa wa aye bati ma wuzi we ubaptisma “Shi ahana iwaa iti kono aveni magunan shi Isumi ucurnome iruba me sa I'eze?
8 Ngakho thelani izithelo ezifanele ukuphenduka; njalo lingaqali ukuthi phakathi kwenu: SiloAbrahama ongubaba wethu; ngoba ngithi kini: UNkulunkulu ulamandla okumvusela uAbrahama abantwana kulamatshe.
Nyani ahana sa wazin in niruba ubarka, kati itubi ugusa “Tizin Ibrahim acoo uru, barki sa in boo shi Asere Madake ma kurzo apoo ageme ahana Ibrahim.
9 Lakhathesi lehloka selibekiwe empandeni zezihlahla; ngakho sonke isihlahla esingatheli isithelo esihle siyaganyulwa siphoselwe emlilweni.
Ana me amu wuna bitem atini ama titi barki anime vat utiti me sa wa game uyoo ahana wa ririn adi yori uni avetten anyimo uraa”.
10 Amaxuku asembuza, athi: Pho thina sizakwenzani?
Nigura me niriaje unu igizo ume unu gusa “Nyanini tidi wuzi?”
11 Wasephendula wathi kubo: Olezembatho ezimbili, kamuphe ongelaso; lolokudla kenze njalo.
Ma kabirka ma gun we “De sa mazin tidibi tini tiree ma nya de sa ma zomen ba u'inde, de sa mazin ini mumyarce ma wuzi anime cangi.
12 Kwasekufika labathelisi ukuze babhabhathizwe, basebesithi kuye: Mfundisi, sizakwenzani?
Anu kabsa Ikirfi imanyanga wa ē ma wuzi baptisma wa gun me “Unuu ubezizi, nyanini tidi wuzi?”
13 Wasesithi kubo: Lingabizi okwedlula elikumiselweyo.
Ma gun we “Kati ikabi ikirfi me sa iteki ige sa agunan shi ikabi ba”.
14 Lamabutho lawo ambuza, athi: Thina-ke sizakwenzani? Wasesithi kuwo: Lingenzi udlakela emuntwini, njalo lingacali ngamanga; njalo yeneliswani yimivuzo yenu.
Anani kara nini kono wa iki me, wa gu, “A haru naa? Ma gun we, “Kati iburri uye ikirfi innikara ba, nan i canni uye upilko sa ma taame ba Tonnoni ikirfi uppe ushi me”.
15 Kwathi abantu belindile, futhi bonke bezibuza enhliziyweni zabo ngoJohane, ukuthi kambe yena angaba enguKristu,
Sa anuu waa zin nucanta uguna Yeso ma ē, konderi mameki ugamara me iruba anicee ni Yohana, nan memani Yeso.
16 uJohane waphendula, esithi kubo bonke: Mina-ke ngilibhabhathiza ngamanzi; kodwa uyeza olamandla kulami, engingafanele ukuthukulula umchilo wamanyathela akhe; yena uzalibhabhathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele langomlilo;
Yohana makabirka ma gun Vat uwe “Me inzi shi unu baptisma inmei uye ma eze sa ma teki nikara num, ma bari in soppi tizin ta kpattak ameme ba. Madi wuzi shi ubaptisma in Bibe ba Asere bilau nan uraa.
17 okhomane lwakhe lokwela lusesandleni sakhe, njalo uzahlambululisisa isibuya sakhe, abesebuthela amabele esiphaleni sakhe, kodwa amakhoba uzawatshisa ngomlilo ongacitshekiyo.
Upija utana wa alkana umeme uraa atari bati ma ori ma wuu ati kere tume Madi punsi mucini me unu raa sa uda bito ba”.
18 Langokulaya ngezinye izinto ezinengi, watshumayela ivangeli ebantwini.
Unu gbara kang, Yohana ma bezizi anuu abanga urunta.
19 Kodwa uHerodi umtetrarki, owayesolwe nguye ngoHerodiyasi umkaFiliphu umfowabo, langakho konke okubi ayekwenzile uHerodi,
Yohana ma gbarika ugomo Hiridus sa ma wuza anya nan unee uhenu me, Hiruduya, nan ukasu uti mum sa Hiridus ma wuza.
20 wengezelela lalokhu phezu kwakho konke, ukuthi wamvalela uJohane entolongweni.
Ma kurima kinkin ma wuu aka kurso Yohana akura anirere.
21 Kwasekusithi sebebhabhathiziwe bonke abantu, laye uJesu esebhabhathiziwe, ekhuleka, izulu lavulwa,
Sa awuza anuu ubaptisma awuzi Yeso ubaptisma cangi, sa ma zin biringara Aseseri apokino.
22 uMoya oyiNgcwele wasesehlela phezu kwakhe elesimo somzimba onjengowejuba, lelizwi lavela ezulwini, lisithi: Wena uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, ngithokoza ngawe.
Bibe ba Asere bilau bituu me kasi uhurbe, nimyiran ni Aseseri “Hu vana mani, de sa inkunna me. In kunna urunta ume”.
