As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.
5 Yonse mimpata iyozuzukizigwa, a zilundu zyoonse atulundu tuyoba ansi amigwagwa ipilingene iyo lulamikwa, amasen aatabambinkene ayooyakwa akuba migwagw,
Every valley will be filled. Every mountain and hill will be brought low. The crooked will become straight, and the rough ways smooth.
6 bantu boonse bayoobona lufutuko lwa Leza.'”
All flesh will see God’s salvation.’”
7 Mpawo Joni wakati kumakamu akalikuza kuzo bbabbatizigwa anguwe, “Nywebo nobana bachipile! ngwani wakamuchenjezya kuti muchije kuzwa kubukali bulokuza?
He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be baptised by him, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Aaboobo, muzyale michelo mibotu iitondezya kusanduka alimwi mutataliki kwaamba mukati kanu, “Tula Abulahamu kali taata wesu; mbundamwambila kuti Leza ulakonzya kusumpula bana ba Abulahamu kuzwa kumabwe aya.
Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance, and don’t begin to say amongst yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father;’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!
9 Alino kaleba kalibikidwe kale kumiyanda yamisamu. Aboobo kufumbwa musamu utazyali muchelo mubotu ulawugonkela kunsi akuuwalila mumulilo.”
Even now the axe also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10 Alimwi makamu akendelela kunembo akumubuzya bakati, “Niinzi mpawo nzitutachite?”
The multitudes asked him, “What then must we do?”
11 Wakasandula akuti kulimbabo, “Na kulumwi uujisi twakuzwata tubili, uleelede kwabana amuntu utakwe ayooyo ujisi chakulya ayiite mbobo.”
He answered them, “He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise.”
12 Abasimutelo abalabo bakaza kuzo bbabbatizigwa, akwamba kuli nguwe kuti, “Muyisi, niinzi nchitweelede kuchita?”
Tax collectors also came to be baptised, and they said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
13 Wakati kulimbabo, “Mutakabwezi mali nyiingi njimutabuzizigwe kubweza.”
He said to them, “Collect no more than that which is appointed to you.”
14 Bamwi basilumamba abalabo bakamubuzya, bakati, “Aniswe ninzi nchitweelede kuchita?” Wakati kulimbabo, “Mutakabwezi mali kufumbwa kulumwi changuzu, alimwi mutakapenzyi omwe chakubeja. amukakutisikane amiholo yanu.”
Soldiers also asked him, saying, “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages.”
15 Lino bantu nibakachili kulindila chakupekezya kusika kwa Kkilisto boonse bakali kugamba mukati kamooyo yabo aatala aJoni, kutii ngunguwe Kkilisto.
As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Christ,
16 Joni wakasandula wakati kuliboonse, “Imebo lwangu ndamubbabbatizya amanzi, pele kulumwi ulobuza ulanguzu kwiinda ndime, aboobo nsikonzyi nikuba nkwangununa misungo yansangu zyakwe. Uyomu bbabbatizya aMuya Uusalala antomwe amulilo.
John answered them all, “I indeed baptise you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptise you in the Holy Spirit and fire.
17 Kajisi pologwe yakupupuluzya mujanza lyakwe chakusalazya lubuwa lwakwe akubunganya bbali munganda yakwe. Pele uyowumpa buungu amulilo alimwi mulilo tukoyoozima pe.”
His winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
18 Mubwingi bwakumusumpula Joni wakalikwambula makani mabotu kubantu.
Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,
19 Alimwi Heloda kali mwendelezyi wakazumizigwa kukukwata mwanakazi wamwana wakwabo Helodiyasi azyoonse zintu zibi Heloda nzyakachitide,

added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Lino nichakasika chiindi aawo bantu boonse bakabbabbatizigwa Jesu alakwe wakabbabbatizigwa, nibakachili kukomba, majulu akajulika,
Now when all the people were baptised, Jesus also had been baptised and was praying. The sky was opened,
22 aMuuya Uusalala muchimo chamubili wakaza mbuli nziba, alimwi jwi lyakazwa kujulu “Ulimwana wangu ngwendiyandisisya. Ndabotelwa anduwe.”
and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying “You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased.”
