Mathayo 3
1 Munsiku zila u Yohana Umwozyo ahinzile alumbilile hunyika iya hu Yuda ahaga,
In those days comes John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea,
2 “Mulambe pipo ubhumwini uwahumwanya bhusojeliye.”
saying, Repent ye, for the kingdom of the heavens is at hand.
3 Pipo unu yahayangwilwe nukuwa u Isaya ahaga, “Izwi lya muntu ya kwizya afume hujangwani; 'mubhishe tayari idala lya gosi, mugagoloshe amashilo gakwe.”
This is the one, who is spoken of by Isaiah the prophet saying, The voice of one roaring in the wilderness; Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make straight His paths.
4 Ishi Uyohana ahakwite amasepe agingamia ni lamba ilyingozi musana wakwe, ishalye shakwe shahali nzije nu woshi uwa mwisengo.
And the same John had his raiment from camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
5 Habhili Muyerusalemu, Iyuda yonti, ni sehemu yonti yeyahazyangulile isoho Iyordani bhahabhala hukwakwe.
Then Jerusalem and all Judea, and all the region about the Jordan, were coming out to him,
6 Bhahozewaga nawo mwisoho mu Yordani bhalambaga hwangwubhi imbibhi zyabho.
and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
7 Lwahabhalola abhinji abhamafalisayo na masadukayo lwebhahwuzya, “Amwe mwimpapo izyi nzoha izyi sumu wenu yabhasoshile huyishimbile inkuni yihwinza?
And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said unto them; O generations of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Mupape amadondo gegahwanziwa alaabe.
Therefore bring forth fruit worthy of repentance;
9 Mgandi asibhe na ayanjizanye hulimwe mwe, 'Tulinawo u Ibrahimu ye yise witu.' Pipo imbabhuzya aje Ungulubhi angamwimishizya u Ibrahimu abhana afumilane na mawe iga.
and think not to say among yourselves; We have Abraham, our father; for I say unto you that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
10 Intemu iliho ibhihwile hunzizi ugwi kwi. Ishi ikwi lyolyonti lyesalipapa amadondo lidumulwa na tajilwe mu mwoto.
But already the ax is laid to the root of the trees; therefore every tree not producing good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire.
11 Ihubhozya na manzi hunongwa ya lambe. Ishi umwene yahwinza badala yani ngosi kuliko ani. Nanisihwanziwa abhusye iyilyatu vyakwe. Umwene asibhozye hwa mpepo umfinjile na humwoto.
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but there is One coming after me more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry; He will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire.
12 Na ulupapike lwakwe lulimunyobhe zyakwe lupepeta nziila na hwozye na abhunganye ingano zyakwe mushanga. Nantele abhapembe amakapi mumwoto wesebhuzimiha.
Whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purify His threshing-floor, and gather His wheat into the garner, and will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
13 Nantele u Yesu ahinza afume hu Galilaya mpaka mwisoho Iyorodani ahwozewe nu Yohana.
Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, in order to be baptized by him.
14 Uyohana ahandaga akhane aje, “Asahamwozye pipo u Yesu gosi ashile u Yohana?”
And John continued to forbid Him saying, I have need to be baptized by thee, and comest thou unto me?
15 U Yesu ahayanga ahaga, “Nini ihurusu awe unozye, maana ihwanziwa aje inkamilisye ilyoli yonti.” U Yohana pa ahamwozya u Yesu.
And Jesus responding said to him; Suffer it now; for thus it is becoming us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffers Him.
16 Baada ya hwozewe u Yesu ahafumile muminzi ahenya imwaaya zyahamwigushiye, nantele ahanola umpepo wa Ngulubhi ahwiha hushifwani shinjibha na ahwimilile pamwanya yakwe.
And Jesus having been baptized, came up straightway from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened and He saw the Spirit of God, descending like a dove, coming on Him.
17 Izwi, lyahafumile humwanya lyahaga, “Unu mwana wani uganwa. Indi ni insungwo nawo hani.”
And behold, a voice from the heavens, saying; This is my beloved Son in whom I delight.
