4 As it is written in the book of the discourses of Isaiah the prophet, who said: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord; and make straight paths in the plain for our God.
Mbuli mbukulembedwe mubbuku lyamakani aIsaya musinsimi, “Ijwi lyasikompolola munkanda, 'Amubambenzila yamwami, amululamike nzila zyakwe
5 All valleys shall be filled up, and all mountains and hills be lowered; and the hillock shall be levelled down, and the rough place become smooth.

6 And all flesh shall see the life which is of God.

7 And he said to the multitudes, who came to him to be baptized: Ye progeny of vipers, who hath instructed you to flee from the future wrath?

10 And the multitudes asked him, and said: What, then, shall we do?
Alimwi makamu akendelela kunembo akumubuzya bakati, “Niinzi mpawo nzitutachite?”
11 He answered and said to them: Whoever hath two tunics, let him give one to him that hath none; and whoever hath food, let him do the same.
Wakasandula akuti kulimbabo, “Na kulumwi uujisi twakuzwata tubili, uleelede kwabana amuntu utakwe ayooyo ujisi chakulya ayiite mbobo.”
12 And publicans also came to be baptized. And they said to him: Teacher, what shall we do?
Abasimutelo abalabo bakaza kuzo bbabbatizigwa, akwamba kuli nguwe kuti, “Muyisi, niinzi nchitweelede kuchita?”
13 And he said to them: Exact no more than ye are required to exact.
Wakati kulimbabo, “Mutakabwezi mali nyiingi njimutabuzizigwe kubweza.”
14 And those serving in war inquired of him, and said: And what shall we do? He said to them: Be insolent to no one, and oppress no one, and let your pay satisfy you.

15 And while the people were thinking of John, and all pondered in their heart, whether he were the Messiah;
Lino bantu nibakachili kulindila chakupekezya kusika kwa Kkilisto boonse bakali kugamba mukati kamooyo yabo aatala aJoni, kutii ngunguwe Kkilisto.
16 John answered and said to them: Behold, I baptize you with water; but after me cometh one mightier than I, the strings of whose shoes I am not worthy to untie; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
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.

20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

21 And it occurred, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also was baptized. And as he prayed, the heavens were opened;
Lino nichakasika chiindi aawo bantu boonse bakabbabbatizigwa Jesu alakwe wakabbabbatizigwa, nibakachili kukomba, majulu akajulika,
22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, in the bodily likeness of a dove: and there was a voice from heaven, which said: Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I have delight.
aMuuya Uusalala muchimo chamubili wakaza mbuli nziba, alimwi jwi lyakazwa kujulu “Ulimwana wangu ngwendiyandisisya. Ndabotelwa anduwe.”
