1Mwaka wa kumi dimwe na shano wa uongweezi wa seuta mkuu Kaisali Tibelio, Pontio Pilato ne kawa mkuu wa si ya Yudea, na Helode ne kawa seuta wa Galilaya na nduguye Filipo nekawa seuta wa hantu ha Ituleya hamwe na Tilakoniti, na Lusania nekawa seuta wa Abilene,In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

2Anasi na Kayafa newawa Waviki Wakuu wa Muungu. Kisingi icho nei mbui ya Muungu yekumwezeaho Yohana mwana wa Zakalia kwe kiwawe.during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

3Naho Yohana akaita hantu he mizi yekuhakanayo na zigizigi da mazi Yolodani akabiikia, “Hitukani mkaeke mavigaviga yenu na kubatiizwa, na Muungu endaawaekee mavigaviga yenu.”He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

4Nee ivyo yekuandikwavyo mwe kitabu cha Isaya Muoni wa Muungu, “Mgutio wa mntu wetanga mwenyika ‘Mgosoeyani Zumbe sia yakwe Nyooshani myemboko yakwe.’as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.

5Kiya koongo dendadimemeezwe, Kiya kiima na muima vindavisambazwe, Hekuhotokaho hendahanyooshwe na Sia zesazo kutama zindazigosolweEvery valley shall be filled in, and every mountain and hill made low. The crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.

6Wantu wose wendawauwone uohozi aetao Muungu.”And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”

7Aho Yohana neawamba diya zumwezumwe da wantu wose wekubuao wabatiizwe, “Nywinywi uvyazi wa mdudu! Nndai mwekuwahaza mguuke sugusa yezayo?Then John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

8Oneshani mbui zenu kuwa mhituka na kubada mavigaviga yenu. Msekuvoka isasa kwegombekea, ‘Iblahimu ni tati yetu.’ Nawambeni kwei, Muungu adaha kuyagosoa maiwe aya yawe wana wa Ibulahimu.Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.

9Na hoya diikwa kae mwe mazindo ya miti, ivyo kiya mti wesaokuvyaa matunda matana wendausengwe na kwasigwa mwe moto.”The axe lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”

10Zumwezumwe da wantu dikamuuza, “Titende mbwai?”The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”

11Yohana akawatambaisa, “Mwenye magwanda maidi amwekhe yuda mwesaekuwa na gwanda, mwenye khande atende ivyoivyo.”John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”

12Watoza kodi nao wakeza wabatiizwe wakamuuza, “Mhinyi na swiswi titende mbwai?”Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”

13Yee akawamba, “Msekutoza kodi inga mwekuagiiwayo.”“Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.

14Nawo maasikali wakamuuza, “Swie nasi titende mbwai?” Akawatambaisa, “Msekudoa vintu vya mntu yoyose kwa kumhoka kwesaho kumwahiiya masa kwa uhokho, naho toshekani kwa maiho yenu.”Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” “Do not take money by force or false accusation,” he said. “Be content with your wages.”

15Wantu wose wekuwao wakauwiya chendachokilawiie, newavoka kweuza mwe mioyo yao kuhusu Yohana, kuwa yee ati nee Klistu ekusagulwaye ni Muungu.The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.

16Aho Yohana akawamba wose, “Miye nawabatiiza kwa mazi, akini eza mwenye udaho kusima, miye uyo khifaa katu kuchopoa sigi za sabana zakwe, uyo enda awabatiize kwa Muye wa Muungu na kwa moto.John answered all of them: “I baptize you with water, but One more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

17Ana kiheo cha kuhetea khande mwe mikono yakwe, endaakusanye khande yakwe na kuiika mwe taa, na mahehe ayoke moto wesaokukomeka.”His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

18Kulawana na mahinyo matuhu mangi, Yohana akawahembeeza na kuwabiikia wantu Mbui Yedi.With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.

19Yohana akamwakia seuta Helode kwaviya nekamdoa Helodia mvyee wa nduguye na kumtenda mkaziwe na kwajii ya mavigaviga yose ekuwayo agosoa.But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,

20Naho Helode akaendeeya na ufyaimi wakwe kwa kumgea Yohana mwe kifungo.Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.

21Wantu wose wekubindiizwaho kubatiizwa, na Yesu akabatiizwa, ekuwaho akavika, uwanga kwa Muungu kukavuguka,When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

22na Muye wa Muungu ukamwezea nekawa na mwii inga sua. Mgutio ukategeezeka kulawa uwanga kwa Muungu, “Wee nee mwanangu nikukundisae, nitamiiwae naye.”and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
