Amahubili ga Yohana Mubatisaji
(Mlk 1:1-8; Luk 3:1-18; Yoh 1:19-28)
1Mumajuwa gago yalawanisa Yohana mubatisaji yakuhubili munyika ya Uyahudi, yakugamba, 2“Mulambe; Kosoko undewa wa kulanga usegelela.” 3Kosoko ayo no yalongigwe ne mugonesi Isaya, yakugamba,
“Dijwi dye imunhu yakujoja mwibalangu,
Igoloseni injila ye Mundewa,
Musigolole si njila sakwe!”
4Naye Yohana imwecho hakafala suke igolosigwe na singa se ngamia, na mukanda wa nghingo, muchuno chakwe; na chakudiya chakwe hachuwa sige na uuki wa kumbago. 5Weja wamulutila awanhu wose wa Yelusalemu na Uyahudi na si isi sose sisungulute Yolodani; 6Hakawabatisa mulwanda lwa Yolodani, akuno wakulamba u wihi wawo.
7Yakone matewa ga Mafalisayo#3:7 Mafalisayo: Filongosi we dini ye Chiyahudi. na Masadukayo,#3:7 Masadukayo: Filongosi we dini ye Chiyahudi. wakwijila ubatiso wakwe, yawagamba, “Anyeye muwana wa majoka nani yamujanjaluseni kutija inyono ikwija?” 8Hambiya, mweleke mamudyo gakonesa kulamba, “Munghakidanhilise mufidoga fyenu fina, china Baba yetu Ibulahimu,” kosoko nikumutamilani fina Mulungu mumawe agano yekudaha kumwinulila Ibulahimu wana. 9Munghakidanhilise mufidoga fyenu fina, china Baba yetu Ibulahimu; kosoko nikumutamilani fina Mulungu mumawe agano yakudaha kumwinulila Ibulahimu wana. 10Inhemo ifulusa kwikigwa hamasina ga mabiki; chila ibiki disikweleka mamudyo maswanu, dikung'enyigwa na kugumigwa mumoto.
11“Chawelu aniye nikuwabatisa na meji kosoko yo kulamba; amba iyakwija kunyuma yangu kena ludole kusuma niye, kahi aniye sikudaha hata kulonda ifilwatu fyakwe; imwene yakwenda yamubatiseni kwa Muhe Musunhile na kwa moto. 12Imwene diselo dyakwe kenadyo mumikono yakwe, naye yakweda yasunhe ahanhu hakwe; ingano yakwe yakuilunda mukano, makohele yakwenda yagasome no moto uusikusima.”
Yesu yakubatisigwa
(Mlk 1:9-11; Luk 3:21-22)
13Ugele uwo Yesu hoyokwija kulawa Galilaya mpaka Yolodani kwa Yohana uleke yabatisigwe. 14Ninga Yohana hoyohananga kumulemesa, yakugamba, “Aniye nikuhananga nibatisigwe na gweye, agweye nagwe ukwija ukwangu?”
15Mundewa Yesu yamubidula yagamba, “Fumila du hambiya; kosoko ikuhanangigwa kwandamila ichelu yose.” Kamei hoyofumila.
16Yesu yakamale kubatisigwa yalawa mulwanda; kamei, ulanga weja wagubuka na kumona, Muhe we Mulungu kifana huwa yakuhumuluka mchanhya yakwe; 17kamei, dijwi kulawa kulanga dikugamba, “Ayuno no Mwanangu, mwendigwa wangu, wonyendesigwe naye.”
