4 Hessika nabey Isayaasi ba maxaafan, “Bazzo giddon ba qaala dhoqqu oothidi, waassiya uraa qaalay, ‘Godaa ogiya giigisite, horogaakka piddi oothite.
Njengoba kulotshiwe encwadini yamazwi ka-Isaya umphrofethi: “Ilizwi lalowo omemezayo enkangala, ‘Lungisani indlela kaThixo, yenzani indlela zakhe ziqonde.
5 Aafo ubbay kumana, zumaynne dereynne ziqqi gaana. Wobbe ogey luulana, giigonna horogay qinxi gaana.
Zonke izigodi zizagcwaliswa, izintaba zonke lamaqaqa kuzakwehliselwa phansi. Izindlela zonke ezimazombe zizaqonda, izindlela ezimakhilikithi zizakuba butshelezi.
6 Asho ma77ida ubbay, Xoossaa ashuwa be7ana’” gidi xaafidayssada hanis.
Abantu bonke bazayibona insindiso kaNkulunkulu.’”
7 Yohaannisi, ba kushen xammaqettanaw yida asaakko, “Hinttenoo, shoosha nayto yaanaw de7iya hanquwafe attana mela hinttena zoriday oonee?
UJohane wathi emaxukwini abantu ababuya ukuzobhaphathizwa nguye, “Lina nzalo yezinyoka! Lilimukiswe ngubani ukuthi libalekele ulaka oluzayo na?
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.
Thelani izithelo ezihambelana lokuphenduka. Njalo lingaqali ukuzitshela ukuthi, ‘Silo-Abhrahama ongubaba wethu.’ Ngoba ngilitshela ukuthi kuwonala amatshe uNkulunkulu angamenzela u-Abhrahama abantwana.
9 Hekko, beexey mithaa xaphon de7ees. Hiza, lo77o ayfe ayfonna mitha ubbay qanxettidi taman yegettana” yaagis.
Ihloka selivele selisezimpandeni zezihlahla, njalo zonke izihlahla ezingatheli izithelo ezilungileyo zizaganyulwa, ziphoselwe emlilweni.”

Abantu bambuza bathi, “Pho kumele senzeni?”
11 Yohaannisi zaaridi, “Nam77u afili de7iya asi baynnayssas immo. Kathi de7eyssi baynnayssas immo” yaagis.

12 Qaraxa qanxiseyssati xammaqettanaw yidi, “Asttamaariyaw, nuuni ay oothinoo?” yaagidosona.

Abanye abebutho bambuza bathi, “Thina-ke senzeni?” Waphendula wathi, “Lingancindezeli ukuthi liphiwe imali njalo lingabeki muntu umlandu wamanga njalo lisuthiseke ngomholo wenu.”
15 Asay Kiristtoosa naagishe de7iya gisho, Yohaannisa, “I Kiristtoosa gidanddeshshaa?” gidi qoppidosona.
Abantu babehlezi belindele njalo bonke babezibuza ezinhliziyweni zabo ingabe uJohane wayenguye yini uKhristu.
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.
UJohane wabaphendula bonke wathi, “Mina ngilibhaphathiza ngamanzi. Kodwa yena olamandla kulami uyeza, akungilingananga ukuthukulula imichilo yamanyathela akhe. Uzalibhaphathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele langomlilo.
17 Wudumman de7iya kathaa polo geeshshanaw pithey iya kushen de7ees. Geeshsha kathaa ba shaaliyan qolana; kaliya dhayonna taman xuuggana” yaagis.
Isitsha sakhe sokwela sisesandleni sakhe ukuba athanyele isiza sakhe njalo abuthele amabele akhe esiphaleni, kodwa uzatshisa amakhoba ngomlilo ongacitshekiyo.”

21 Yohaannisi qashettanaappe sinthe asaa ubbaa xammaqidi simmin, Yesuusikka qassi xammaqettis. I woossishin saloy dooyettis.
Kwathi bonke abantu bebhaphathizwa, loJesu laye wabhaphathizwa. Wathi ekhuleka izulu lavuleka
