2 Ni nton wa Hanana ba kayafa bana bi ninkoh bitun tre Irji kaye ni Yahaya vren Zakariya ni miji.
ngesikhathi leso u-Anasi loKhayifasi bengabaphristi abakhulu, kwafika ilizwi likaNkulunkulu kuJohane indodana kaZakhariya esenkangala.
3 Sei ka zren kagon gbugbulu mi yie'u nei u urdu, dani hla tre Irji ni bawu, a yo'u ba duba ye kpa Irji nda dun ba sukpa ni ba wu, duba wru lah tre mba hle ni bawu.
Wawuhamba wonke umango waseJodani, etshumayela ubhaphathizo lokuphenduka ukuze izono zithethelelwe.
4 Na wa ba na nha nvunvu u tre Anabi Ishaya ndi llan di ri si yo ni miji, mlan koh Bachi tie dun koh ma hi yreyre.
Njengoba kulotshiwe encwadini yamazwi ka-Isaya umphrofethi: “Ilizwi lalowo omemezayo enkangala, ‘Lungisani indlela kaThixo, yenzani indlela zakhe ziqonde.
5 Ko san ngbulu ba shu, u ngbulu ba ba gble tita ba kma ti fime, u nkoh bi tie memme ba kma bi ba ba shu, ni ngbulu baba tita ba ba yra ba nda kma me nkoh ni bubu biwa be gblegble me'a.
Zonke izigodi zizagcwaliswa, izintaba zonke lamaqaqa kuzakwehliselwa phansi. Izindlela zonke ezimazombe zizaqonda, izindlela ezimakhilikithi zizakuba butshelezi.
6 U bi he nimi kpa ba to Ceto u Irji.
Abantu bonke bazayibona insindiso kaNkulunkulu.’”
7 Sai Yohana a hla ni gbugbu ndji wa ba si ye dun sukpa bawu'a. Yohana yo ba ndi “biyi mri iwan, anha hla ni yiwu dun yi tsutsu ni nfu wa ani ye ni yiwu'a?”
UJohane wathi emaxukwini abantu ababuya ukuzobhaphathizwa nguye, “Lina nzalo yezinyoka! Lilimukiswe ngubani ukuthi libalekele ulaka oluzayo na?
8 Nitu kii, kma tie klo kunkro wa ndi ba bre dun ba wru lla tre hle bawu dana ta tre ni kpamba ndi ki he ni Ibrahim wa a iti mbu, mi hla niwu Irji hei ni gbengble wa ani zu titi biyi kma tie mri ni Ibrahim rji ni tita bi yi.
Thelani izithelo ezihambelana lokuphenduka. Njalo lingaqali ukuzitshela ukuthi, ‘Silo-Abhrahama ongubaba wethu.’ Ngoba ngilitshela ukuthi kuwonala amatshe uNkulunkulu angamenzela u-Abhrahama abantwana.
9 Ko zizan ba mlan gla tie nitu nja bi ba kunkro. U wawu kunkro bi wandi bana klo bi na ba gen ba nda vu ba sru ni lu.”
Ihloka selivele selisezimpandeni zezihlahla, njalo zonke izihlahla ezingatheli izithelo ezilungileyo zizaganyulwa, ziphoselwe emlilweni.”
10 U gbugbu ndji baki mye'u ndi, “Zizan ki tie ni he?”
Abantu bambuza bathi, “Pho kumele senzeni?”
11 A kasa nda tre “Indji wandi a he ni nklon ha, ka ban rhi ni ndji wandi ana he ni rhi na, u ndji wa ahe ni lah ka tie naki ngame.
UJohane waphendula wathi, “Leyondoda elamajazi amabili kayimuphe ongelalo elinye lalowo olokudla kenze njalo.”
12 Bi kpa ban ba ye du ba sukpa ni bawu, nda tre, “Ndji-u-tsro, ki tie ni he?”
Labathelisi labo beza ukuzabhaphathizwa. Babuza bathi, “Mfundisi, kumele senzeni?”
13 A hla ni bawu ndi, “Nata kpa inklen zan kpe wandi ba tre dun yi kpa na.”
Wabatshela wathi, “Lingathelisi ledlulise okufunekayo.”
14 Sojoji bari ngame ba mye, ndi, “U kita na? Ki tie ni he?” A bla hla ni bawu, “Na kpa nkleh niwo njo ni gbengble na, ndi na tie ce ti ndrjo na. Nji kpe-andi bi u mbi dun mla yi.”
Abanye abebutho bambuza bathi, “Thina-ke senzeni?” Waphendula wathi, “Lingancindezeli ukuthi liphiwe imali njalo lingabeki muntu umlandu wamanga njalo lisuthiseke ngomholo wenu.”
15 Zizan wa ba ndji ba si ya nkoh ye u Kristi'a, wawu mba ba si rhimre ni suron mba nitu Yohana, ko wawu mba hi Kristi'a.
Abantu babehlezi belindele njalo bonke babezibuza ezinhliziyweni zabo ingabe uJohane wayenguye yini uKhristu.
16 Yohana a kasa ni bawu nda tre ndi, “Ime mi si sukpa ni yiwu ni mma, u ndji waa si ye ni koshi mu, a zan me ni gbengble, u mina tsra wa mi sie rjirji lagban u zama na. Wawu ni sukpa ni yiwu ni Ruhu Tsratsra ni lu.
UJohane wabaphendula bonke wathi, “Mina ngilibhaphathiza ngamanzi. Kodwa yena olamandla kulami uyeza, akungilingananga ukuthukulula imichilo yamanyathela akhe. Uzalibhaphathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele langomlilo.
17 Ahei ni mumu ni wo ma wandi ani tie ndu niwu nda zen memme bie nda ka waa bi zi nimi iwron. U ani gon biwa ba tie meme'a ni lu wa ana y'bi na.”
Isitsha sakhe sokwela sisesandleni sakhe ukuba athanyele isiza sakhe njalo abuthele amabele akhe esiphaleni, kodwa uzatshisa amakhoba ngomlilo ongacitshekiyo.”
18 Ni mi tsro mba Yohana a hla tre ndindi ni ndji ba.
Waphinda walaya abantu ngamanye amazwi amanengi njalo watshumayela kubo ivangeli.
19 Hiridus wa ana Chu, a son gran wa vayi ma Hiridiya, ni mbru meme kpie wa Hiridus azi tie'a,
Kodwa kwathi uJohane esekhuze uHerodi umbusi ngenxa kaHerodiyasi, umkamfowabo, langezinye izinto ezimbi ayezenzile,
20 a ka biyi suru nhaa, ndi a ka Yohana tro ni brusuna.
uHerodi wakuhlanganisa lokhu konke: Wamvalela uJohane entolongweni.
21 Inton wa ba sukpa ba ndji wawu, Yesu me ba sukpa'a niwu ngame, wa asi he ni mi bre wa ka toh shulu bu'u,
Kwathi bonke abantu bebhaphathizwa, loJesu laye wabhaphathizwa. Wathi ekhuleka izulu lavuleka
22 wa toh Ruhu Tsatsar ka grji ye son nitu ma na ngyu, wa ka wo lan Irji ni shu, “Iwu yi wu vren mu wandi isuron mu a kpa wu. Suron mu ku si ni wu.”
uMoya oNgcwele wehlela kuye elesimo sejuba. Kweza ilizwi livela ezulwini lathi: “Wena uyiNdodana yami engiyithandayo; ngiyathokoza kakhulu ngawe.”
