3 Aulongoe muhinzo mkisali kihii nikipilimiye umongo wa mazi nu ang'wa Yordani, akizitanatia itai naubadisigwa nanukuheja imilandu.
Wawuhamba wonke umango waseJodani, etshumayela ubhaphathizo lokuphenduka ukuze izono zithethelelwe.
4 Anga naiandikilwe mukitabu kankani yang'wa Isaya naauotile, ululi la muntu nakulila, nyika noneeli mukondien Inzura amukulu na munonelye Inzula akwe igoloke.
Njengoba kulotshiwe encwadini yamazwi ka-Isaya umphrofethi: “Ilizwi lalowo omemezayo enkangala, ‘Lungisani indlela kaThixo, yenzani indlela zakhe ziqonde.
5 Makombo ihi akizulig'wa malugulu niana malugulu ihi akunoneligwa ninzula niyikunyile ikikogoolwa ninzila Yihi nimbi yikuzipigwa.
Zonke izigodi zizagcwaliswa, izintaba zonke lamaqaqa kuzakwehliselwa phansi. Izindlela zonke ezimazombe zizaqonda, izindlela ezimakhilikithi zizakuba butshelezi.
6 Antu ihi akuona uguni wang'wi Itunda.
Abantu bonke bazayibona insindiso kaNkulunkulu.’”
7 Kululo u Yohana akauila umilundo nukulunu antu au muhangile abatisigwe nugwenso uye wileli wanzoka nua uhungu nubii nyinyu na muhuguye kuumanka ubii nauzile.
UJohane wathi emaxukwini abantu ababuya ukuzobhaphathizwa nguye, “Lina nzalo yezinyoka! Lilimukiswe ngubani ukuthi libalekele ulaka oluzayo na?
8 Leli Indiya niyipyani nitai namuleke kulunga mkati anyu kukete u Ibarahimu ingi tata witu kunsoko nimuila kuiti Itunda ukete uhumi kumuhumbula Ibalihimu ng'wana kupuma mumagwe aya.
Thelani izithelo ezihambelana lokuphenduka. Njalo lingaqali ukuzitshela ukuthi, ‘Silo-Abhrahama ongubaba wethu.’ Ngoba ngilitshela ukuthi kuwonala amatshe uNkulunkulu angamenzela u-Abhrahama abantwana.
9 Ingigwa ihengo aikwa mumili a miti kululo u muti nishawitugaa Indya ninza wite ng'wa mu moto.
Ihloka selivele selisezimpandeni zezihlahla, njalo zonke izihlahla ezingatheli izithelo ezilungileyo zizaganyulwa, ziphoselwe emlilweni.”
