ULukha 3
1 Kwathi ngomnyaka wetshumi lanhlanu wokubusa kukaTiberiyosi uKesari, uPontiyusi Pilatu engumbusi weJudiya, loHerodi engumtetrarki weGalili, loFiliphu umfowabo engumtetrarki weIturiya lelizweni iTrakoniti, loLisaniya engumtetrarki weAbilene,
Leleꞌ naa, Tiberius dadꞌi keser mana toꞌu parendaꞌ sia Roma, too sanahulu lima ena. Pontius Pilatus dadꞌi hofernor sia propensi Yudea. Herodes dadꞌi hofernor sia propensi Galilea. Herodes aꞌan Filipus, dadꞌi hofernor sia propensi Iturea no propensi Trakonitis. Boe ma Lisanias dadꞌi hofernor sia propensi Abilene. Leleꞌ naa Hanas no Kayafas dadꞌi malangga monaeꞌ agama Yahudi sia kota Yerusalem. Leleꞌ naa o, Yohanis, Sakaria anan, leo sia mamana rouꞌ fo naꞌadꞌoꞌ mia kamboꞌ. Sia naa, Lamatuaꞌ fee hara-liin neu e.
2 uAnasi loKayafasi bengabapristi abakhulu, ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lafika kuJohane indodana kaZakariya enkangala.
3 Wasesiza esigabeni sonke seJordani esizingelezeleyo, etshumayela ubhabhathizo lokuphenduka kube yikuthethelelwa kwezono;
Yohanis rena nala, ma ana lao nisiꞌ basa kamboꞌ mana deka no loe Yarden, de nafadꞌe atahori ra nae, “Hei musi mitaa ma lao hela basa sala mara, fo Lamatualain fee ambon neu sala-kilu mara naa ra. Hei o musi sarani dei, fo dadꞌi tanda oi, hei malole mo Lamatuaꞌ ena.”
4 njengokulotshiweyo egwalweni lwamazwi kaIsaya umprofethi, ukuthi: Ilizwi lomemezayo enkangala lithi: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi; qondisani indledlana zayo.
Dalahulun, Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-olan baꞌi Yesaya suraꞌ soꞌal Yohanis nae, “Hambu atahori sia mamana rouꞌ nggasi nae, Basa atahori mihehere tao mitetu dalaꞌ, fo simbo Lamatuaꞌ neneman! Tao mitetu dalaꞌ fo soru E.
5 Sonke isigodi sizagqitshwa, layo yonke intaba loqaqa kuzakwehliswa; njalo kuzaqondiswa amazombazombe, lamaxhakaxhaka ezindlela azalungiswa;
Mbori misofe ndola romaꞌ. Poko mitetu leteꞌ ra. Tao mindoo dꞌala penggoꞌ ra, tao mimilenu dꞌala fatu-fatuꞌ ra.
6 layo yonke inyama izabona usindiso lukaNkulunkulu.
Naa fo atahori mia basa nusaꞌ ra bisa bubꞌuluꞌ rae, Lamatuaꞌ nae fee atahori rasodꞌa mia sala-kilu nara.’”
7 Ngakho wathi emaxukwini aphumela ukubhabhathizwa nguye: Nzalo yezinyoka, ngubani olixwayise ukubalekela ulaka oluzayo?
Atahori hetar rema mia sudꞌiꞌ a bee fo roꞌe Yohanis sarani se. Te ana bua se nae, “Weh! Hei mana peko-lelekoꞌ! Hei onaꞌ mengge marasoꞌ a! Afiꞌ duꞌa mae hei nenemboꞌit mia Lamatuaꞌ huku-dokin noꞌa lelekoꞌ miloeꞌ tao sala! Hokoꞌ! Nda dooꞌ sa ena, Lamatuaꞌ fee huku-dokiꞌ neu basa atahori nda mana dꞌoaꞌ tao salaꞌ no matetuꞌ sa.
8 Ngakho thelani izithelo ezifanele ukuphenduka; njalo lingaqali ukuthi phakathi kwenu: SiloAbrahama ongubaba wethu; ngoba ngithi kini: UNkulunkulu ulamandla okumvusela uAbrahama abantwana kulamatshe.
Hei afiꞌ duꞌa mae, ‘Au ia nda hambu huku-dokiꞌ sa, huu au baꞌi Abraham tititi-nonosin.’ Hambu sia bee taꞌo naa? Naa nda tulun hei sa, huu nda bisa tao nggi dadꞌi atahori meumareꞌ sa. Lamatuaꞌ bisa tao fatu ia ra dadꞌi baꞌi Abaraham tititi-nonosin. Au ufadꞌe, e! Mitudꞌu no hei tatao-nonoim mara, mae hei misidꞌea lao hela sala mara, ma tungga baliꞌ neu Lamatuaꞌ ena.
9 Lakhathesi lehloka selibekiwe empandeni zezihlahla; ngakho sonke isihlahla esingatheli isithelo esihle siyaganyulwa siphoselwe emlilweni.
Hei musi tao dꞌala maloleꞌ. Mete ma hokoꞌ, dodꞌoo fa te hei hambu Lamatuaꞌ huku-doki mamberan, onaꞌ atahori ungga hendi hau huuꞌ rendiꞌ taꞌa. Mete ma hau huuꞌ sa nda naꞌena buna-bꞌoa maloleꞌ sa, na, nda ma nggunaꞌ sa! De malole lenaꞌ ungga hendi e, fo tao ai rala neu.”
10 Amaxuku asembuza, athi: Pho thina sizakwenzani?
Basa ma, atahori naa ra ratane Yohanis rae, “Dadꞌi hai musi tao sa?”
11 Wasephendula wathi kubo: Olezembatho ezimbili, kamuphe ongelaso; lolokudla kenze njalo.
Boe ma ana nataa nae, “Mete ma miꞌena badꞌu rua, na, fee esa neu atahori nda ma badꞌuꞌ sa. Mete ma miꞌena nanaat, na, banggi fee atahori nda mana naꞌena nanaat sa.”
12 Kwasekufika labathelisi ukuze babhabhathizwe, basebesithi kuye: Mfundisi, sizakwenzani?
Basa ma, mana edꞌa bea ra rema roꞌe Yohanis sarani se. Ara ratane rae, “Papa meser! Hai musi tao taꞌo bee?”
13 Wasesithi kubo: Lingabizi okwedlula elikumiselweyo.
Ana nataa nae, “Hei akaꞌ peko-lelekoꞌ. Te ia na hei musi ue-tao no ndoo-tetuꞌ. Afi moꞌe bea lenaꞌ-lenaꞌ mia mana parenda ra atoran. Hela rauinggu ra bae bea tungga atoran.”
14 Lamabutho lawo ambuza, athi: Thina-ke sizakwenzani? Wasesithi kuwo: Lingenzi udlakela emuntwini, njalo lingacali ngamanga; njalo yeneliswani yimivuzo yenu.
Hambu soldꞌadꞌu hira o mia naa boe. Ara ratane Yohanis rae, “hai taꞌo bee? Hai musi tao sa?” Basa ma nataa nae, “Afi mia mateꞌ atahori ra doin, tungga hihii mara. Ma afiꞌ fua salaꞌ leli neu atahori. Hei musi mimihoꞌo-mitidꞌale mo nggadꞌi mara.”
15 Kwathi abantu belindile, futhi bonke bezibuza enhliziyweni zabo ngoJohane, ukuthi kambe yena angaba enguKristu,
Rena oꞌolan ma, basa atahori ra esa keis esa ma utu-utu rae, “Awee! Mbei ma Yohanis ia, Kristus, fo Lamatuaꞌ helu basa nae haitua nema eniꞌ a dalahulun!”
16 uJohane waphendula, esithi kubo bonke: Mina-ke ngilibhabhathiza ngamanzi; kodwa uyeza olamandla kulami, engingafanele ukuthukulula umchilo wamanyathela akhe; yena uzalibhabhathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele langomlilo;
Te Yohanis ai se nae, “Rena malolole! Dei fo hambu atahori sa manaseliꞌ lena au nae nema. Onaꞌ mae dadꞌiꞌ a dedꞌenun o, au nda undandaa sa. Au sarani hei noꞌ a oe, te dei fo Ana tao lenaꞌ au, Ana tao nasofe rala mara no Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren. Dei fo Ana tao nameu nggi, onaꞌ atahori hotu manggarauꞌ rendiꞌ ai.
17 okhomane lwakhe lokwela lusesandleni sakhe, njalo uzahlambululisisa isibuya sakhe, abesebuthela amabele esiphaleni sakhe, kodwa amakhoba uzawatshisa ngomlilo ongacitshekiyo.
Ana huku-doki atahori mana tao salaꞌ ra, onaꞌ atahori mana tao moleꞌ sa nalaidꞌi are-gandum dꞌekeꞌ. Basa ma ana oni are-gandum dꞌeke meuꞌ nisiꞌ soka-poleꞌ rala neu, ma hotu hendi manggenggeoꞌ ra. Onaꞌ naa boe, dei fo Kristus huku-doki atahori mana tao salaꞌ ra, ma nggari se risiꞌ ai mbilaꞌ nda mana mamaꞌetuꞌ a sa.
18 Langokulaya ngezinye izinto ezinengi, watshumayela ivangeli ebantwini.
No taꞌo naa, Yohanis fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ mata-mataꞌ neu atahori, ma nafadꞌe se Lamatuaꞌ Hara-lii Malolen.
19 Kodwa uHerodi umtetrarki, owayesolwe nguye ngoHerodiyasi umkaFiliphu umfowabo, langakho konke okubi ayekwenzile uHerodi,
Leleꞌ naa, Yohanis o olaꞌ relo-relo Herodes tataon. Eni salan taꞌo ia: Herodes naa, hofernor sia propensi Galilea. Salan naen seli ena. Salan esa, naeni: Ana lea nala odꞌin saon, naran Herodias. Naa te, odin feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ, ma nda feꞌe mahelaꞌ no Herodias sa. Herodes masodꞌan fo nda matetuꞌ naa sa, tao Yohanis ai e no relo-relo, de Herodes nda hii e sa. Basa ma Herodes toꞌu nala e, de nggari e bui rala neu.
20 wengezelela lalokhu phezu kwakho konke, ukuthi wamvalela uJohane entolongweni.
21 Kwasekusithi sebebhabhathiziwe bonke abantu, laye uJesu esebhabhathiziwe, ekhuleka, izulu lavulwa,
Dalahulun, leleꞌ ara nda feꞌe humu Yohanes sa, ana sarani atahori hetar. Ma Ana o sarani Yesus boe. Basa naa ma Yesus hule-oꞌe ma lalai a sii.
22 uMoya oyiNgcwele wasesehlela phezu kwakhe elesimo somzimba onjengowejuba, lelizwi lavela ezulwini, lisithi: Wena uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, ngithokoza ngawe.
Boe ma Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren onda neu E. Dula-daleꞌ a mata aon onaꞌ mbui lunda. Boe ma haraꞌ mia lalai nae, “Ho ia, Au Ana susue ngga. Ho tao mumuhoꞌo Au mukundooꞌ a.”
23 Yena uJesu waseqala ukuba leminyaka engaba ngamatshumi amathathu, yena (njengokwakunakanwa) eyindodana kaJosefa, kaEli,
Leleꞌ Yesus mulai nafadꞌe atahori Lamatuaꞌ dala masodꞌan, mbeima Ana too telu nulu ena. Atahori rahine rae, Yesus naa, Yusuf Anan. Yusuf bei-baꞌi nara, onaꞌ ia: Yusuf aman, Eli.
