1Sima ya mambula, Yoane Moɓatise akyɛkyɛ o bokye pha Yuda, akyɛkyɛ miteya ɓoɓo: 2«Ɓongola mandondo, phɔ ɓokonzi pha ikolo ɓokomi phɛnɛphɛ.» 3Yoane, eli yo moto owa wɔkɔ moimosi Isaya phɔ yɛ oɓokye:
«Moto mɔnɔmɔ kaaŋwane onte ya bokye yokye:
Nkolo kalukye iyaa: Omoɓɔngyisa nzela,
tutola ɓanaa manzela maakyikyi yɔɔ!»
4Yoane aɓaka kalate etobu eya kyela ɓɛ́ɛ na nkungyɛ ya nyama na nkombo shamo, na nkamba ya lopho la nyama o mobimbi, aɓaka kaze nde ntɛtɛ na maɓoo. 5Ɓato ɓa Yelusalɛmɛ na ɓato ɓasɔ ɓa Yuda na ɓaa mokyisi mooli phɛnɛphɛ na ebale ya Yaladɛnɛ, ɓaɓaka ɓakyɛ oka yɛ. 6Ɓaimolaka masumu ma ɓɛ́ɛ o ɓoo pha ɓato ɓasɔ, Yoane aɓaka kaɓaɓatisa o eɓale ya Yaladɛnɛ. 7Waawɛnɛ Yoane oɓokye Ɓafalisayi na Ɓasadukayi ɓaikye ɓaye oka yɛ phɔ aɓaɓatisa, amba tata iɓawɔlɛ ɓoɓo: «Ɓɛɛ iɓota sa nzɔɔ, oephɛ malondo ma ilota yɔɔ ya Ŋwaphongo ekye ye nza? 8Wɛninya na bikyela oɓokye oɓongosi motema. 9Lɛ imiwɔlɛ oɓokye: “Ekpele yɔnɔyɔ ete lokyele, phɔ Abalayama ali nkɔkɔ wa ɓanga.” Phɔ naewɔlɛ ngakye, Ŋwaphongo akokyi ibuya maɓanga mama ɓana ɓa Abalayama. 10Ɓambo ɓɔngyɛ ikoko phɔ ya ikpɛtɛ nkanga ya nzete; ŋwete munsɔ mote moɓote mbuma ndaa, ɓaamokpɛtɛ, ɓamba movaka o nweya. 11Nga, naeɓatisa na maa phɔ ya iwɛninya oɓokye oɓongosi motema, ka ookoye o sima ya nga, amoeɓatisa na Ɓolɔɓɔ Ɓosanto na ná ŋwenya. Yo andekyi na mwiya, sikyilongoɓana na phɔ ya imumanya bikoto. 12Aphisi enyɛngyɛlɛ o maɓɔkɔ phɔ ya ikaɓola mbuma na nkata. Amoɓomba mbuma o ɓompɛndɛ, kasi amotumba nkata o ŋwenya moote moozime.»
Iɓatisama sa Yesu
(Malako 1.9-11; Luka 3.21-22)
13Mokɔlɔ mɔnɔmɔ Yesu autaka o Galileya aesi o Yaladɛnɛ, amba ya koma ooli Yoane phɔ aɓatisame. 14Kasi Yoane amba lɛ, yokye: «Eli nde wɛ moto okokakyi imbatisa, emba kombe kula yaa oka nga ndengye'ye?» 15Kasi Yesu amba ya mobuyisela yokye: «Anola oɓokye wataa ɓaa ɓaɓona phɔ ya uŋwaŋwa eye. Phɔ tosengyesi ikokya maphɔɔ masɔ mazingaka Ŋwaphongo.» Emba Yoane amba ya anola. 16Waunva Yesu izwa ɓatisimo, amba aɓwa o maa. Nde mina wamɔ, ikolo samba ingwa, amba wɛnɛ Ɓolɔɓɔ pha Ŋwaphongo ɓoute ndokolo inkoto-ŋwenya siesi yauta mi yo. 17Ŋwɛsi mɔnɔmɔ ŋwamba uta o ikolo mowɔ oɓokye: «Oyo ali Ŋwana wa nga wa lozingo; nasepesi nɛ na ɓoikye.»
