1Nao ghalye majua keja Johana Mubatizi, kechila kireti cha Judea, 2keghamba, “Riheni, kwani uzuri ghwa Mlungu ghwafika kavui.” 3Johana niye mundu aghoriro ni tondolo Isaya, keghamba:
“Lwaka lwa mundu ekemagha kireti,

Nani amuonyile kuikimbila hare ya Mlungu ikujagha? 8Valeni mavalo gheonyezagha kuriha. 9Na simwaririkanye inyo wenyu mukeghora, ‘Tio na aba wetu Abrahamu!’ Kwani namuza, Mlungu wadima kele agha mawe kumunulila Abrahamu wana. 10Hata indakwenyi isoka lyanaikilo kele miriginga ya miti, eri kila mwiti sighovalagha mavalo ghupaso na kukumbo motoni. 11Imi namubatiza kwa meji kuonyeza mwariha; ela uyu ekujagha nyuma yangu uwo na ndighi kuniisa imi; hata vilatu vake siinifweni kuvitwala. Iye ujemubatiza kwa Roho wa Kuela na moto. 12Iye uwo na kindu chekwita viro vake mkonuni, kukwita viro vose. Naye ujekoghanya ngano yake kitunduni, ela visusi ujeviisha na moto sighozimikagha.”
