Matayos 3
1 Maalmahaas waxaa yimid Yooxanaa Baabtiisaha isagoo cidlada Yahuudiya wax ku wacdiyaya, oo leh,
In those days appeared John the Immerser, who proclaimed in the wilderness of Judea, saying,
2 Toobadkeena, waayo, boqortooyadii jannadu waa dhow dahay.
Reform, for the Reign of Heaven approaches.
3 Waayo, kan waa kii nebi Isayos ka hadlay kolkuu yidhi, Waa codka kan cidlada kaga qaylinaya, Jidka Rabbiga hagaajiya, Waddooyinkiisa toosiya.
For this is he, of whom the Prophet Isaiah speaks in these words, "The voice of one proclaiming in the wilderness, Prepare a way for the Lord, make for him a straight passage."
4 Yooxanaa qudhiisu wuxuu guntanaa dharkiisii dhogorta geel ahaa, oo suun meged ahna dhexduu ku xidhnaa, cuntadiisuna waxay ahayd ayax iyo malab dibadeed.
Now John wore raiment of camel's hair with a letter girdle about his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
5 Markaas waxaa u soo baxay dadka Yeruusaalem, iyo kuwa Yahuudiya oo dhan iyo kuwa dalka Urdun ku wareegsan oo dhan,
Then Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the country along the Jordan, resorted to him,
6 markaasuu Webi Urdun ku baabtiisay iyagoo dembiyadooda qiranaya.
and were immersed by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
7 Laakiin goortuu arkay qaar badan oo Farrisiin iyo Sadukiin ah oo baabtiiskiisa yimid wuxuu ku yidhi, Dhal jilbisay, yaa idiinka digay inaad ka carartaan cadhada imanaysa?
But he seeing many Pharisees and Sadducees coming to him to receive immersion, said to them, Offspring of vipers, who has prompted you to flee from the impending vengeance?
8 Haddaba midho toobad istaahila soo bixiya,
Produce, then, the proper fruit of reformation;
9 hana ku fikirina inaad tidhaahdaan, Waxaannu leennahay Ibraahim oo aabbe noo ah. Waayo, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Ilaah waa karaa inuu dhagaxyadan carruur uga kiciyo Ibraahim.
and presume not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father, for I assure you, that of these stones God can raise children to Abraham.
10 Haddeer weliba faaska waxaa la dhigay geedaha guntooda. Sidaa darteed geed walba oo aan midho wanaagsan soo bixin waa la gooyaa oo dabkaa lagu tuuraa.
And even now the ax lies at the root of the trees; every tree, therefore, which produces not good fruit, is cut down, and turned into fuel.
11 Anigu biyo ayaan idinku baabtiisaa ilaa toobadda, laakiin kan iga daba imanayaa waa iga itaal weyn yahay, kan aanan istaahilin inaan kabihiisa u qaado. Isagu wuxuu idinku baabtiisi doonaa Ruuxa Quduuska ah iyo dab.
I, indeed, immerse you in water, into reformation; but he who comes after me, is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to carry. He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit, and in fire.
12 Masaftiisu gacantiisay ku jirtaa, goobta wax lagu tumona aad buu u safayn doonaa, oo sarreenkiisa ayuu maqsinka ku soo ururin doonaa, laakiin buunshaha ayuu dab aan damayn ku gubi doonaa.
His winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his grain; he will gather his wheat into the granary, and consume the chaff in unquenchable fire.
13 Markaasaa Ciise Galili ka yimid oo Webi Urdun ugu tegey Yooxanaa inuu baabtiiso.
Then came Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan, to be immersed by John.
14 Yooxanaase waa diiday, isagoo leh, Anaa u baahan inaad i baabtiisto, adiguna miyaad ii timid?
But John excused himself, saying, It is I who need to be immersed by you; and you come to me!
15 Laakiin Ciise waa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Haddeer oggolow, waayo, sidaas waa inoo eg tahay inaynu xaqnimada oo dhan wada yeelno; markaasuu u oggolaaday.
Jesus answering, said to him, Permit this at present; for thus ought we to ratify every institution. Then John acquiesced.
16 Ciise goortii la baabtiisay, ayuu markiiba biyaha kor uga baxay, kolkaasaa samooyinku furmeen, oo wuxuu arkay Ruuxa Ilaah oo sida qoolley oo kale u soo degaya oo dushiisa imanaya,
Jesus being immersed, no sooner arose out of the water, than heaven was opened to him; and the Spirit of God appeared, descending like a dove, and lighting upon him;
17 oo cod baa samooyinka ka lahaa, Kanu waa Wiilkayga aan jeclahay, oo aan ku faraxsanahay.
while a voice from heaven proclaimed, This is my Son, the beloved, in whom I delight.
