Maram aduna pap kokchanabagidamak pukning hongbagi baptize lounabagi pao miyamda sandoktuna John-na Jordan turelgi akoibada leiba lam pumnamakta chatlammi.
4 njengokulotshiweyo egwalweni lwamazwi kaIsaya umprofethi, ukuthi: Ilizwi lomemezayo enkangala lithi: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi; qondisani indledlana zayo.
Masi Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichou Isaiah-gi lairikta ikhibagumbani: “Kanagumba amana lamjao-lamhangda laori: ‘MAPU IBUNGO-gi lambi thourang tou; Ibungona chatnaba lambi chumhallu!
5 Sonke isigodi sizagqitshwa, layo yonke intaba loqaqa kuzakwehliswa; njalo kuzaqondiswa amazombazombe, lamaxhakaxhaka ezindlela azalungiswa;
Tampak khudingmak thongatkani, Ching amadi chingjao khudingmakpu temthokkani. Akhoiba lambisingbu chumhangani, Akut atong leiba lambisingbu nalhangani.
6 layo yonke inyama izabona usindiso lukaNkulunkulu.
Aduga mi pumnamakna Tengban Mapugi aran-khubham uba phangjagani.’”
7 Ngakho wathi emaxukwini aphumela ukubhabhathizwa nguye: Nzalo yezinyoka, ngubani olixwayise ukubalekela ulaka oluzayo?
Adudagi mangonda baptize touhannaba lakliba miyam aduda John-na hairak-i, “He lilgi chada naodasa, lakkadouriba Tengban Mapugi asaoba adudagi chennaba nakhoida kanana haibage?
8 Ngakho thelani izithelo ezifanele ukuphenduka; njalo lingaqali ukuthi phakathi kwenu: SiloAbrahama ongubaba wethu; ngoba ngithi kini: UNkulunkulu ulamandla okumvusela uAbrahama abantwana kulamatshe.
Nakhoina paptagi pukning hongbagi matik chaba mahei yallu. Aduga ‘Eikhoigi ipa Abraham lei’ haina nakhoigi napukningda haijaganu. Maramdi, eina nakhoida hairi madudi nungsing asidagisu Tengban Mapuna Abraham-gi machasing thokhanba ngammi.
9 Lakhathesi lehloka selibekiwe empandeni zezihlahla; ngakho sonke isihlahla esingatheli isithelo esihle siyaganyulwa siphoselwe emlilweni.
Houjiksu upalsing asigi maruda singjang thaduna lei amasung aphaba mahei pandaba upal pumnamakpu kakthattuna meinungda langsingani.”
10 Amaxuku asembuza, athi: Pho thina sizakwenzani?
Maduda miyam aduna John-da hanglak-i, “Adu oirabadi eikhoina kari tougadage?”
11 Wasephendula wathi kubo: Olezembatho ezimbili, kamuphe ongelaso; lolokudla kenze njalo.
Mahakna makhoida khumlak-i, “Phurit ani leiba mahak aduna amata phaoba leijadaba mahak aduda ama pisanu aduga chananaba chinjak leiba mahak adunasu matou adugumna tousanu.”
12 Kwasekufika labathelisi ukuze babhabhathizwe, basebesithi kuye: Mfundisi, sizakwenzani?
Adudagi kanggat khomba kharasu baptize lounaba laklammi amasung makhoina Johnda hanglak-i, “Oja Ibungo, Eikhoina kari tougadage?”
13 Wasesithi kubo: Lingabizi okwedlula elikumiselweyo.
Mahakna makhoida khumlak-i, “Loupham thokpa adudagi henna nakhoina louganu.”
14 Lamabutho lawo ambuza, athi: Thina-ke sizakwenzani? Wasesithi kuwo: Lingenzi udlakela emuntwini, njalo lingacali ngamanga; njalo yeneliswani yimivuzo yenu.
Adudagi lanmi kharanasu mangonda hanglak-i, “Aduga eikhoinadi kari tougadage?” Mahakna makhoida khumlak-i, “Mi kanadagisu nam-haduna sel louganu aduga kanadasu aranba maral thangjinganu. Amasung nanggi nanggi asuman aduda apenba oiyu.”
15 Kwathi abantu belindile, futhi bonke bezibuza enhliziyweni zabo ngoJohane, ukuthi kambe yena angaba enguKristu,
Aduga mi pumnamakna Christtana lakkadaba adu ngaiduna leiba maramna John-bu Christta adu oigadara haina makhoigi thamoinungda hangjarammi.
16 uJohane waphendula, esithi kubo bonke: Mina-ke ngilibhabhathiza ngamanzi; kodwa uyeza olamandla kulami, engingafanele ukuthukulula umchilo wamanyathela akhe; yena uzalibhabhathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele langomlilo;
Maram aduna John-na makhoi pumnamakta hairak-i, “Einadi nakhoibu isingda baptize toubi, adubu eingondagi henna matik leiba kanagumba ama lenglakli aduga eidi Ibungo magi sandal mari louthokpa phaoba matik chade. Mahaknadi nakhoibu Thawai Asengbada amasung meida baptize toubigani.
17 okhomane lwakhe lokwela lusesandleni sakhe, njalo uzahlambululisisa isibuya sakhe, abesebuthela amabele esiphaleni sakhe, kodwa amakhoba uzawatshisa ngomlilo ongacitshekiyo.
Ibungona mahei marong yeipham adu sengdoktuna gehusing adubu keida peisinnaba makhutta mahakki phou-inthok paiduna leiri; adubu mahakna mahamsing adubudi mutpa naidaba meida thajingani.”
18 Langokulaya ngezinye izinto ezinengi, watshumayela ivangeli ebantwini.
Aduga John-na khetnaba mawong matou kaya amada mising aduda Aphaba Pao sandoklammi amasung makhoigi lambi adu hongdoknaba thougatlammi.
19 Kodwa uHerodi umtetrarki, owayesolwe nguye ngoHerodiyasi umkaFiliphu umfowabo, langakho konke okubi ayekwenzile uHerodi,
Adubu mahakna Galilee-gi leingakpa Herod-pu manaonupa Philip-ki nupi Herodias-pu loubagidamak amasung mahakna toukhiba phattaba thabak pumnamak adugidamak cheirammi.
20 wengezelela lalokhu phezu kwakho konke, ukuthi wamvalela uJohane entolongweni.
Aduga Herod-na John-bu keisumsangda thamjinduna amukka henna tamthiba pap langsinjarammi.
21 Kwasekusithi sebebhabhathiziwe bonke abantu, laye uJesu esebhabhathiziwe, ekhuleka, izulu lavulwa,
Nongma John-na miyam amabu baptize touringei matamda Jisubusu baptize tourammi. Aduga Ibungona haijaringeida swarga hangdoktuna,
22 uMoya oyiNgcwele wasesehlela phezu kwakhe elesimo somzimba onjengowejuba, lelizwi lavela ezulwini, lisithi: Wena uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, ngithokoza ngawe.
