Mātiu 3
1 ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe haʻu ʻa Sione ko e Papitaiso, ʻo malanga ʻi he toafa ʻo Siutea,
A kwanakin nan Yahaya Mai baftisma ya zo, yana wa'azi a jejin Yahudiya yana cewa,
2 ʻo pehē, “Mou fakatomala: he ʻoku ofi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi.”
“Ku tuba, domin mulkin sama ya kusa.”
3 He ko eni ia naʻe lea ki ai ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e leʻo ʻoe tokotaha ʻoku kalanga ʻi he toafa, ‘Mou teuteu ʻae hala ʻoe ʻEiki, fakatonutonu hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.’”
Wannan shine wanda annabi Ishaya ya yi maganarsa, ya ce, “Muryar wani mai kira a jeji yana cewa, 'Ku shirya wa Ubangiji hanyarsa, ku daidaita tafarkunsa.''
4 Pea naʻe kofu ʻae Sione ko ia ʻaki ʻae fulufuluʻi kāmeli, mo e noʻo kiliʻi manu ʻi hono noʻotanga vala; pea ko ʻene meʻakai, ko e heʻe mo e meʻa huʻamelie ʻoe vao.
Yahaya kuwa yana sanye da tufa ta gashin rakumi, yana kuma daure da damarar fata, abincinsa kuwa fara ne da zuman jeji.
5 Pea naʻe toki ʻalu kiate ia ʻa Selūsalema, mo Siutea kotoa pē, mo e potu fonua kotoa pē naʻe tuʻu ofi ki Sioatani,
Sai mutanen Urushalima, da na dukan Yahudiya, da na duk kasashen bakin Kogin Urdun, suka yi ta zuwa wurin sa.
6 Ke papitaiso ʻiate ia ʻi Sioatani, ʻo vete ʻenau ngaahi angahala.
Ya yi masu baftisma a Kogin Urdun, yayinda suke furta zunubansu.
7 Ka ʻi heʻene mamata kuo haʻu ʻae tokolahi ʻoe Fālesi mo e Sātusi ki heʻene papitaiso, naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻAe fānau ʻae ngata fekai, ko hai naʻa ne valoki ʻakimoutolu ke puna mei he houhau ʻe haʻu?
Amma da ya ga Farisawa da Sadukiyawa da yawa, suna fitowa domin a yi masu baftisma, sai ya ce masu, “Ku 'ya'yan macizai masu dafi, wa ya gargade ku ku guje wa fushi mai zuwa?
8 Ko ia mou fakahā ʻae ngaahi fua ʻoku ngali mo e fakatomala:
Ku ba da 'ya'ya da za su nuna tubanku.
9 Pea ʻoua te mou pehē ʻi homou loto, ‘Ko ʻemau tamai ʻa ʻEpalahame:’ he ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku faʻa fai ʻe he ʻOtua ke fakatupu ʻi he ngaahi maka ni ʻae fānau kia ʻEpalahame.
Kada kuwa ku dauka a ranku cewa, 'Ibrahim ne ubanmu.' Domin ina gaya maku, Allah yana da iko ya ta da wa Ibrahim 'ya'ya daga cikin duwatsun nan.
10 Pea ko eni, kuo tuku ʻae toki ki he tefito ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau: ko ia, ko e ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai tupu ai ʻae fua lelei, ʻe tā hifo ia, pea laku ki he afi.
Ko yanzu ma an sa gatari a gindin bishiyoyin. Saboda haka duk bishiyar da ba ta ba da 'ya'ya masu kyau ba, sai a sare ta a jefa a wuta.
11 Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou papitaiso ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae vai ki he fakatomala: ka ko ia ʻoku muimui ʻiate au ʻoku lahi ia ʻiate au, ʻoku ʻikai taau mo au ke u toʻo hono topuvaʻe: pea ʻe papitaiso ʻe ia ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni mo e afi.
Na yi maku baftisma da ruwa, zuwa tuba. Amma mai zuwa baya na, ya fi ni girma, wanda ko takalmansa ma ban isa in dauka ba. Shi ne zai yi maku baftisma da Ruhu Mai Tsarki, da kuma wuta.
12 ʻOku ʻi hono nima ʻa hono ī, pea te ne fakamaʻa ʻaupito hono hahaʻanga, ʻo tānaki ʻa hono uite ki he feleoko; ka ʻe tutu ʻe ia ʻae kafukafu ʻaki ʻae afi taʻemate.”
Kwaryar shikarsa na hannunsa, zai kuwa share masussukarsa sarai, ya tara alkamarsa ya sa a rumbunsa, amma zai kona buntun da wutar da ba za a iya kashewa ba.”
13 Pea toki haʻu ʻa Sisu mei Kaleli ki Sioatani kia Sione, ke papitaiso ʻiate ia.
Sai Yesu ya zo daga kasar Galili, ya je Kogin Urdun wurin Yahaya, domin ya yi masa baftisma.
14 Ka naʻe taʻofi ia ʻe Sione, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ngali mo au ke u papitaiso ʻiate koe, pea ʻoku ke haʻu kiate au?”
Amma Yahaya ya yi ta kokarin ya hana shi, yana cewa, “Ni da nake bukatar ka yi mani baftisma, ka zo gare ni?”
15 Pea lea ʻa Sisu kiate ia, ʻo pehēange, “Tuku ke fai eni: he ʻoku taau mo kitautolu ke fai ki he māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē.” Pea ne toki tuku ke fai ia.
Yesu ya amsa masa ya ce, “Bari ya zama haka a yanzu, domin a cika dukan adalci.” Sai Yahaya ya yarje masa.
16 Pea kuo papitaiso ʻa Sisu, naʻe ʻalu hake leva ia mei he vai; pea vakai, kuo mavaeua ʻae langi kiate ia, pea mamata ia ki he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku maliu hifo ʻo hangē ko e lupe, ʻo tuʻu mai kiate ia:
Bayan da aka yi masa baftisma, Yesu ya fito nan da nan daga cikin ruwan, sai kuma sammai suka bude masa. Ya ga Ruhun Allah yana saukowa kamar kurciya, ya sauko a kansa.
17 Pea ʻiloange, ko e leʻo mei he langi, naʻe pehē, “Ko hoku ʻAlo ʻofaʻanga eni, ʻaia ʻoku ou fiemālie lahi ai.”
Duba, wata murya daga sammai tana cewa, ''Wannan shi ne kaunataccen Da na. Wanda ya gamshe ni sosai.''
