1Kikibha chaka cha kome na nhwano cha unahota gwake munahota nkolongwa jwa ku Loma jwakemitwa Tibeliyo, machiko ghagha Pontiyo Pilatu akibha kilongoche jwa ku itombe ya ku Yudeya. Helode akibha alongwicha ku kilambo chuku Galilaya, na nnongo mundo Filipu akibha kilongoche jwa ku Ituleya ku kilambo chuku Tilakonite. Lusaniya akibha kilongoche jwa ku 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,

2Anase na Kayafa akapiya matambiko bhakolo bha Chapanga, lichiko lyenio pilihikila lilobhe lya Chapanga Yohane, mwana gwa Zakaliya ku njenga.during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

3Bhahe, Yohane ajhakujhenda ku kilambo choha chikibhii mupele jha lukemba lwa ku Yolodane. Kongo akibha abhatangachila bhando, “Muuleke uhakaho na kubatichwa. Chapanga nanekekeya uhakaho gwino.”He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

4Ngita chibhajhandike mukitabo cha Isaya jwakibha nnondole jwa Chapanga, “Mundo jwalalama kunjenga, ‘Mnenganikiye Bhambo ndela jhake, nnyoche mwaipala kupeta.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.

5Kila likemba lipalwa kuyelelwa, kitombe kikolongwa na lihugholo nalibhaha heghuheghu, na ndela jhipembetile naighololwa, na ndela jhimong'onywike nailinganikilwa mbone.Every valley shall be filled in, and every mountain and hill made low. The crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.

6Na, bhando bhoha nabhaubhona ughombokeko kuhumii kwa Chapanga!’ ”And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”

7Bhahe, Yohane ajhakwalobholela bhando bhamahele bhibhahikita kubatichwa, “Mangota kibheluko cha lijhoka! Bho, ghane jwapwepwile mihoto kulitila lilaka lya Chapanga lilihika?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?

8Nnangie kwa kuhenga kwino anda muulekite uhakaho. Nkotoka kukilongolela kumwojho tu, ‘Hoko gwito ndi Ulahimo!’ Ninobholela chakaka, jwenio Chapanga ahotola kughalambula maghanga aghagha na kubhehe yana ya Ulahimo.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.

9Ngohe libhagho libhii pa libelengete lya nkongo, na nkongo ghoghoha gwangapambika uhohe naupengulwa na kutagwa ku mwotu.”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.”

10Bhando bhajhakunkonya, “Bho, ngohe tuhenge nike?”The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”

11Yohane ajhakujhanguu, “Mundo jwakwete ngobho ibhele jhimo amaghulila nnyake, jwangabhenako, na jwakwete yakulyegha helahela amaghulila jwangabhenacho.”John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”

12Akatola kode na bhene bhajhakunyendelela Yohane kupala kubatichwa, ndi pibhankonyita, “Mmola, na twenga tuhenge nike?”Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”

13Ajhakwalobholela, “Nkotoka kutola kode kupetelecha chibhanaghalikiye.”“Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.

14Akakomana ngondo na bhene bhankonyita, “Bho, na twenga helahela tuhenge nike?” Ajhakwalongelela, “Nkotoka kupoka mbijha kwa mundo jhojhoha na kwatakalila bhando changalemwa na ntocheka na chimipata.”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.”

15Peniya bhando bhoha bhalolila kuhika kwa Nkombola, bhajhakutumbuu kukikonya kumwojho gwabhe, pange Yohane ndi Kilichitu Nkomboche.The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.

16Yohane, ajhakwalobholela bhando bhoha, “Nenga nibaticha kwa mache, nambo jwahika jhuna likakala kumbeta nenga, hilu nitope ndeka kubhopo ng'ojhe ya maghubache ghake. Jwenio nabaticha kwa Uhuke gwa Chapanga na kwa mwotu.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.

17Mumabhoko ghake akamula kipalo cha kuhebhe ngano jhake, jhambone naibhaha pamonga mu kikoko, na majhejheto naghajhochwa mwotu gwangahimika gwa machiko ghoha ghangapeta.”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.”

18Kwa malobhe ghange twe, Yohane abhalobholila bhando Malobhe gha Mbone na kwachokolekeya bhahenge ghamaha ghapala Chapanga.With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.

19Nambo Yohane ajhakumpwatalila kilongoche Helode, kwa nhwalo gwa kuntolela Helodiya mwikeghe jwa nnongo mundo na, helahela kwa ilebhe henge yanganandela yatehila.But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,

20Peniya ndi Helode pachochita kuhenga yanganandela, kwa kuntabha Yohane, mukipungo.Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.

21Bhando bhoha pubhajhomolila kubatichwa, na jwenio Yecho ajhakubatichwa. Na panyopita Chapanga, kunane kujhakudinduka,When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

22peniya ndi, Uhuke gwa Chapanga ujhakuhulukila panane jhake ngita ngunda, na lilobhe lijhakujhokanikika kuhumii kunane kwa Chapanga, “Mwenga ndi ma mwanango jhunimpala. Mwenga jhunhalalilwe nako.”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.”
