Lioka 3
1 Tamy taom-paha folo-lime-ambi’ ty naha mpanjaka i Tiberio Kaisara, ie niragova e Iehodà t’i Pontio Pilato naho mpifeleke e Galilia t’i Heroda, naho mpifeleke e Itoria miharo am-pari’ i Trakonitisy t’i Filipo rahalahi’e, naho mpifeleke e Abilena t’i Lisania
Ngomnyaka wetshumi lanhlanu wokubusa kukaThibheriyasi Khesari ngesikhathi uPhontiyasi Philathu engumbusi eJudiya, uHerodi engumbusi eGalile, umfowabo uFiliphu engumbusi wase-Ithuriya leThrakhonithi, njalo loLisaniya engumbusi wase-Abhilene
2 vaho tami’ty naha-talèm-pisoroñe i Anasy naho i Kaiafa, le nivotrake amy Jaona ana’ i Zakaria am-babangoañe añe ty saontsin’ Añahare.
ngesikhathi leso u-Anasi loKhayifasi bengabaphristi abakhulu, kwafika ilizwi likaNkulunkulu kuJohane indodana kaZakhariya esenkangala.
3 Nitsitsihe’e i tane fiaria’ i saka Iordaneiy nitalily ty filiporam-pisolohoañe ho ami’ty fañahàn-kakeo;
Wawuhamba wonke umango waseJodani, etshumayela ubhaphathizo lokuphenduka ukuze izono zithethelelwe.
4 ie pinatetse amy boken-tsara’ Isaia mpitokiy ty ti-hoe: Ty fiarañànaña’ i mikoike am-patram-bey añey: Hajario ty lala’ i Talè, Avantaño o oloñolo’eo,
Njengoba kulotshiwe encwadini yamazwi ka-Isaya umphrofethi: “Ilizwi lalowo omemezayo enkangala, ‘Lungisani indlela kaThixo, yenzani indlela zakhe ziqonde.
5 Lembefañe ze hene goledoñe, aketrake ze atao vohitse naho tamboho, ho vantañeñe o mikelokelokeo, naho fonga hareneñe o lalañe tomoantoañeo;
Zonke izigodi zizagcwaliswa, izintaba zonke lamaqaqa kuzakwehliselwa phansi. Izindlela zonke ezimazombe zizaqonda, izindlela ezimakhilikithi zizakuba butshelezi.
6 Vaho ho oni’ ze kila nofotse ty fandrombahan’ Añahare.
Abantu bonke bazayibona insindiso kaNkulunkulu.’”
7 Le hoe re tamy lahialeñe nivovotse mb’ ama’e mb’eo halipotsey: O ry Tariran-dapetake! Ia ty nanoro anahareo hibotitsike amy haviñerañe mitotokey?
UJohane wathi emaxukwini abantu ababuya ukuzobhaphathizwa nguye, “Lina nzalo yezinyoka! Lilimukiswe ngubani ukuthi libalekele ulaka oluzayo na?
8 Ampiboaho vokatse mañeva soloho; le ko mamototse mitsakore an-troke ao ty hoe, Rae’ay t’i Abraàme. Itaroñako te mahafitroatse anake ho a i Abraàme amo vato retoañe t’i Andrianañahare.
Thelani izithelo ezihambelana lokuphenduka. Njalo lingaqali ukuzitshela ukuthi, ‘Silo-Abhrahama ongubaba wethu.’ Ngoba ngilitshela ukuthi kuwonala amatshe uNkulunkulu angamenzela u-Abhrahama abantwana.
9 Fa ampoto-katae eo henaneo i fekoñey; le ho firaeñe vaho hafetsak’ añ’afo ao ze hatae tsy mamoa voa soa.
Ihloka selivele selisezimpandeni zezihlahla, njalo zonke izihlahla ezingatheli izithelo ezilungileyo zizaganyulwa, ziphoselwe emlilweni.”
10 Aa hoe ty ontane’ i lahialeñey ama’e: Ino ty hanoe’ay?
Abantu bambuza bathi, “Pho kumele senzeni?”
11 Hoe ty natoi’e: Ze aman-tsaroñe roe, soa re te handiva ami’ty tsy ama’e; le hoe zay ka ze manañe mahakama.
UJohane waphendula wathi, “Leyondoda elamajazi amabili kayimuphe ongelalo elinye lalowo olokudla kenze njalo.”
12 Pok’eo ka o mpamory vili-lohao halipotse, nanao ama’e ty hoe: O Mpañoke, ino ty hanoe’ay?
Labathelisi labo beza ukuzabhaphathizwa. Babuza bathi, “Mfundisi, kumele senzeni?”
13 Le hoe re tam’iereo: Ko mangalake mandikoatse ty linily ho anahareo.
Wabatshela wathi, “Lingathelisi ledlulise okufunekayo.”
14 Le hoe ty ontane’ o lahin-defoñeo: Izahay ka! Ino ty hanoe’ay? Le hoe re tam’iereo: Ko misenge hery ama’ ondaty, le ko manao talily vìlañe, vaho mimoneña amo karama’areoo.
Abanye abebutho bambuza bathi, “Thina-ke senzeni?” Waphendula wathi, “Lingancindezeli ukuthi liphiwe imali njalo lingabeki muntu umlandu wamanga njalo lisuthiseke ngomholo wenu.”
15 Amy fitamà’ ondatioy, le hene niereñere i Jaona añ’arofo te hera ie i Norizañey, ke tsy ie,
Abantu babehlezi belindele njalo bonke babezibuza ezinhliziyweni zabo ingabe uJohane wayenguye yini uKhristu.
16 le hoe ty natoi’ i Jaona am’iareo iaby: Toe alìpoko an-drano ao nahareo, fa homb’eo ty maozatse te amako; tsy mañeva ahy ty hañaha o tomin-kana’eo. Ie ty handipotse anahareo an-Tio Masiñe naho añ-Afo.
UJohane wabaphendula bonke wathi, “Mina ngilibhaphathiza ngamanzi. Kodwa yena olamandla kulami uyeza, akungilingananga ukuthukulula imichilo yamanyathela akhe. Uzalibhaphathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele langomlilo.
17 Am-pità’e ty tsikelo’e, le hahoro’e an-tihy famofohañe ao o vokatseo vaho hatonto’e an-driha o mahakamao, fa ho sodora’e añ’afo tsy hay vonoeñe ty kafo’e.
Isitsha sakhe sokwela sisesandleni sakhe ukuba athanyele isiza sakhe njalo abuthele amabele akhe esiphaleni, kodwa uzatshisa amakhoba ngomlilo ongacitshekiyo.”
18 Mbe maro ty fañosihañe nanoe’e te nitaroñe am’ondatio.
Waphinda walaya abantu ngamanye amazwi amanengi njalo watshumayela kubo ivangeli.
19 Aa ie nitrevoke i Heroda mpanjaka ty amy Herodiasie valin-drahalahi’e naho ze fonga sata raty nanoe’ i Heroda,
Kodwa kwathi uJohane esekhuze uHerodi umbusi ngenxa kaHerodiyasi, umkamfowabo, langezinye izinto ezimbi ayezenzile,
20 le mbore nahili’e am-balabey ao t’i Jaona, ho tovo’ iaby rezay.
uHerodi wakuhlanganisa lokhu konke: Wamvalela uJohane entolongweni.
21 Ie fonga nalipotse ondatio, nilipotse ka t’Iesoà, niloloke naho nisokake i likerañey
Kwathi bonke abantu bebhaphathizwa, loJesu laye wabhaphathizwa. Wathi ekhuleka izulu lavuleka
22 vaho nizotso ama’e am-batañe manahake ty deho i Arofo Masiñey, le hoe ty fiarañanañañe hirik’andindìñe ao: Anako rehe, kokoako; Ihe ro mahafale ahiko.
uMoya oNgcwele wehlela kuye elesimo sejuba. Kweza ilizwi livela ezulwini lathi: “Wena uyiNdodana yami engiyithandayo; ngiyathokoza kakhulu ngawe.”
