Mātiu 3
1 ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe haʻu ʻa Sione ko e Papitaiso, ʻo malanga ʻi he toafa ʻo Siutea,
Majuwa galii Yohani Mbatiza kalawiliti, kanjiti kubwera mushiwala sha Yudeya,
2 ʻo pehē, “Mou fakatomala: he ʻoku ofi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi.”
“Mleki vidoda vyamtenda, toziya Ufalumi wa kumpindi wapakwegera!”
3 He ko eni ia naʻe lea ki ai ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e leʻo ʻoe tokotaha ʻoku kalanga ʻi he toafa, ‘Mou teuteu ʻae hala ʻoe ʻEiki, fakatonutonu hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.’”
Yohani ayu ndo ulii mweni Isaya mbuyi gwa Mlungu kamtakuliti pakalongiti, “Liziwu lya muntu lipikanika kushiwala, ‘Mumtandiri kala Mtuwa njira yakuwi, Mumnyosheri njira zyakuwi!’”
4 Pea naʻe kofu ʻae Sione ko ia ʻaki ʻae fulufuluʻi kāmeli, mo e noʻo kiliʻi manu ʻi hono noʻotanga vala; pea ko ʻene meʻakai, ko e heʻe mo e meʻa huʻamelie ʻoe vao.
Yohani kavaliti nguwu yawasoniti kwa mibahira ya ngamiya na lugoyi lwa lukuli mushunu mwakuwi na shiboga shakuwi shiweriti wanjombi na lwashi lwa kuntundu.
5 Pea naʻe toki ʻalu kiate ia ʻa Selūsalema, mo Siutea kotoa pē, mo e potu fonua kotoa pē naʻe tuʻu ofi ki Sioatani,
Su wantu kulawa Yerusalemu na kulawa wega zoseri zya Kuyudeya na mbwega zoseri za mump'eku mwa kulushemba lya Yoridani.
6 Ke papitaiso ʻiate ia ʻi Sioatani, ʻo vete ʻenau ngaahi angahala.
Walonga vidoda vyawu na yomberi kawabatiziti mulushemba lwa Yoridani.
7 Ka ʻi heʻene mamata kuo haʻu ʻae tokolahi ʻoe Fālesi mo e Sātusi ki heʻene papitaiso, naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻAe fānau ʻae ngata fekai, ko hai naʻa ne valoki ʻakimoutolu ke puna mei he houhau ʻe haʻu?
Kumbiti pakawawoniti Mafalisayu wavuwa na Masadukayu wankumwizira su wabatizwi, kawagambiriti, “Mwenga wana wa njoka! Muntu gaa yakawagambireni muyitili maya ya Mlungu yayiza?
8 Ko ia mou fakahā ʻae ngaahi fua ʻoku ngali mo e fakatomala:
Mlanguziyi kwa matendu handa mleka vidoda.
9 Pea ʻoua te mou pehē ʻi homou loto, ‘Ko ʻemau tamai ʻa ʻEpalahame:’ he ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku faʻa fai ʻe he ʻOtua ke fakatupu ʻi he ngaahi maka ni ʻae fānau kia ʻEpalahame.
Namulihola na kulitakulila, ‘Tati gwetu ndo Aburahamu!’ Nukugambirani nakamu, Mlungu kaweza kugatenda mabuwi aga gaweri wana wa Aburahamu!
10 Pea ko eni, kuo tuku ʻae toki ki he tefito ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau: ko ia, ko e ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai tupu ai ʻae fua lelei, ʻe tā hifo ia, pea laku ki he afi.
“Su vinu liwagu litulwa kala kudumula mishigira ya mitera, na kila mtera gwagulera ndiri mabwajubwaju gaherepa hagudumulwi na kugwasila mumotu.
11 Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou papitaiso ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae vai ki he fakatomala: ka ko ia ʻoku muimui ʻiate au ʻoku lahi ia ʻiate au, ʻoku ʻikai taau mo au ke u toʻo hono topuvaʻe: pea ʻe papitaiso ʻe ia ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni mo e afi.
Neni nukuwabatiza kwa mashi kulanguziya kuwera mleka vidoda vyamtenditi. Kumbiti yakiza kumbeli kwangu kawera na makakala kuliku neni, neni nfaa ndiri ata kupapa vilwatu vyakuwi. Yomberi hakakubatizani kwa Rohu Mnanagala na kwa motu.
12 ʻOku ʻi hono nima ʻa hono ī, pea te ne fakamaʻa ʻaupito hono hahaʻanga, ʻo tānaki ʻa hono uite ki he feleoko; ka ʻe tutu ʻe ia ʻae kafukafu ʻaki ʻae afi taʻemate.”
Yomberi muliwoku lyakuwi kana luselu lwa kupepetera, hakayijojiniri nganu na kuitula muluhanja lwakuwi, kumbiti hakatoli miwawi na kuipambira pamotu gwagutenda ndiri tiya.”
13 Pea toki haʻu ʻa Sisu mei Kaleli ki Sioatani kia Sione, ke papitaiso ʻiate ia.
Shipindi shilii Yesu kiziti kulawa Galilaya kasokiti palushemba lwa Yoridani, kamgenderiti Yohani su kambatizi.
14 Ka naʻe taʻofi ia ʻe Sione, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ngali mo au ke u papitaiso ʻiate koe, pea ʻoku ke haʻu kiate au?”
Kumbiti Yohani kajeriti kumbelera pakalonga, “Yani gwenga gwankwiza kwa neni? Neni ndo nfiruwa kubatizwa na gwenga.”
15 Pea lea ʻa Sisu kiate ia, ʻo pehēange, “Tuku ke fai eni: he ʻoku taau mo kitautolu ke fai ki he māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē.” Pea ne toki tuku ke fai ia.
Su Yesu kamwankuliti, “Guleki hera iweri ntambu ira ayi vinu, hangu ndo ntambu iherepa kugatenda goseri gakafira Mlungu.” Palii Yohani kajimiriti.
16 Pea kuo papitaiso ʻa Sisu, naʻe ʻalu hake leva ia mei he vai; pea vakai, kuo mavaeua ʻae langi kiate ia, pea mamata ia ki he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku maliu hifo ʻo hangē ko e lupe, ʻo tuʻu mai kiate ia:
Kamkamu hera Yesu pawambatiziti kala, kalawiti mumashi, su kumpindi kwa Mlungu kuvuguka na kamwoniti Rohu gwa Mlungu pakiza pasi gambira ng'unda na kumkangira mulibega.
17 Pea ʻiloange, ko e leʻo mei he langi, naʻe pehē, “Ko hoku ʻAlo ʻofaʻanga eni, ʻaia ʻoku ou fiemālie lahi ai.”
Liziwu kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu lilongiti, “Ayu ndo Mwana gwangu yanumfira nentu, nherepeziwa nayomberi.”
