1 Kawoy Xibaaryoosi Roome biittan kawotin, tammanne ichchashantho laythan, Phenxe Philaaxoosi Yihuda haariya wode, Heroodisi Galiila haariya wode, iya ishaa Filiphphoosi Ixuuriyasanne Xirakkonddosa haariya wode, Lisaniyoosi Ablaanisa haariya wode,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Hannaranne Qayyafara kahine halaqa gidi de7ishin, Xoossaa qaalay Zakkariyaasa na7aa Yohaannisakko bazzo biittaa yis.
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 Yohaannisi, “Hintte nagaraappe simmitenne xammaqetite. Xoossay hintte nagaraa atto gaana” yaagidi tamaarssishe Yorddaanose Shaafaa heeran de7iya biitta ubbaa bis.
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 Hessika nabey Isayaasi ba maxaafan, “Bazzo giddon ba qaala dhoqqu oothidi, waassiya uraa qaalay, ‘Godaa ogiya giigisite, horogaakka piddi oothite.
As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
5 Aafo ubbay kumana, zumaynne dereynne ziqqi gaana. Wobbe ogey luulana, giigonna horogay qinxi gaana.
Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
6 Asho ma77ida ubbay, Xoossaa ashuwa be7ana’” gidi xaafidayssada hanis.
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Yohaannisi, ba kushen xammaqettanaw yida asaakko, “Hinttenoo, shoosha nayto yaanaw de7iya hanquwafe attana mela hinttena zoriday oonee?
Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Hiza, hintte simuwa qonccisiya lo77o ooso oothite, hintte wozanan, ‘Nuus, nu aaway Abrahamey de7ees gidi ceeqettofite.’ Haa si7ite, ha shuchchatappe Xoossay Abrahames na7a kessanaw dandda7ees.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 Hekko, beexey mithaa xaphon de7ees. Hiza, lo77o ayfe ayfonna mitha ubbay qanxettidi taman yegettana” yaagis.
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 Asay, “Yaatin nuuni ay oothinoo?” yaagidi oychchidosona.
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 Yohaannisi zaaridi, “Nam77u afili de7iya asi baynnayssas immo. Kathi de7eyssi baynnayssas immo” yaagis.
He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
12 Qaraxa qanxiseyssati xammaqettanaw yidi, “Asttamaariyaw, nuuni ay oothinoo?” yaagidosona.
Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 I zaaridi, “Hintte qanxisanaw kiitettoyssafe aathidi ekkofite” yaagis.
And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 Qassi wotaaddareti yidi, “Nuuni ay oothinoo” yaagidi oychchidosona. Yohaannisi, “Oodebaakka wolqqan dafidi ekkofite, oonakka worddon mootoppite, hintte damoozey hinttew gido; ufayttidi de7ite” yaagis.
And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
15 Asay Kiristtoosa naagishe de7iya gisho, Yohaannisa, “I Kiristtoosa gidanddeshshaa?” gidi qoppidosona.
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
16 Yohaannisi ubbaas zaaridi, “Taani hinttena haathan xammaqays, shin taappe aadhdhidi wolqqaameyssi yaana. Taani iya caammaa wodoruwa billanaw bessonna asi. I hinttena Geeshsha Ayyaananinne taman xammaqana.
John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
17 Wudumman de7iya kathaa polo geeshshanaw pithey iya kushen de7ees. Geeshsha kathaa ba shaaliyan qolana; kaliya dhayonna taman xuuggana” yaagis.
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 Qassi Yohaannisi asaa daro zore zoridi Wonggelaa odis.
And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
19 Shin Yohaannisi Heroodisi ba ishaa machchiw, Herodiyada, ekkida gishonne haraa iita oosota gisho kaccida wode,
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
20 Heroodisi kaseyssa bolla haraba ubbaa gujjidi Yohaannisa woyne gelssis.
Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Yohaannisi qashettanaappe sinthe asaa ubbaa xammaqidi simmin, Yesuusikka qassi xammaqettis. I woossishin saloy dooyettis.
Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 Geeshsha Ayyaanay holleda benttishe iya bolla uttis. Saloppe “Taani dosiya na7ay nena; ne tana ufayssaasa yaagiya” qaalay yis.
And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
