1Xibiraadoose geetettiza Qeesaarey kawotida tammanne ichchashanththo layththan Phanxoosa Philaxoosa geeteizayssi Yuhuda biittaa haariza wode Herdoosi Galila biittaa haariza wode, iza ishay Piliphoosi, Ixuriyaasanne Xirakondoose biittaa haariza wode Lisanoosikka Abloone biitta haariza wode,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,

2Haannaynne Qayafay qeeseta halaqa gidida wode Xoossa qaalay bazzo biittan diza Zakaraasa naa Yohannisakko yides.during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

3Yohannisi Yordaanoose shaafa achchan diza dereta, «Intte nagara atto gaanaas nagarappe simmidi xammaqettite» giidi yootides;He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

4Hessika qasse nabe Isayaasi, «Bazzon hizgidi waassiza asa kooshinchchi, ‹Godaas oge giigsite; baasidikka lo7eththite.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.

5Shoobba biittay wuri kumana; zumatinne zumbullati wuri ziqqi gaana; geella ogey sitti gaana; moorettida ogey lo7o gidana.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.

6Asa zereth ubbaa ashshiza Xoossa wolqqa beyana› giidi bazzon waassiza asa qaala giiris» giidi ba maxaafan xaafida mala.And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”

7Yohannisikka iza kushen xammaqettana yiza asaas, «Intteno ha shooshsha naytoo! Yaana diza Xoossa hanqofe haakkana mala ooni inttena zoridee?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?

8Intte nagara oosoppe simmidayssa erisiza ooso ooththite; ‹Nu aaway Abrahaamey nuus dees› guus aggite gides. ‹Xoossi baas giikko ha shuchchatappe Abrahaames naa ooththi denththanaas dandayzayssa erite›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.

9Kalttay mith qanxxanaas miththa xaphon dees. Lo7o ayfe ayfontta iita miththi wuri qanxxettidi taman yegettana» gides.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.”

10Asaykka, «Histtiin ay ooththinoo?» giidi oychchides.The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”

11Yohannisikka asaas, «Nam7u may7oy dizay issi may7oy baynda asas immo; qasseka qumay dizaykka bayndaades shaakki immo» gides.John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”

12Qaraxa shiishshizaytikka xammaqettanaas yiidi, «Astamaaree! Nu ay ooththinoo?» gida.Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”

13«Izikka, ‹Intte azazettidayssafe bollara qaraxa shiishshofte› gides.“Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.

14«Wottadaratikka, ‹Nuni qasse ay ooththinoo?› giidi oychchida. Izikka, ‹Oona miishsheka wolqqan ekkofte; qasseka oonakka wordon mootopite; intte damozay inttes gidana› » gides.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.”

15Asay Yohannisa be7idi, «Hayssi Kirstoosaa?» giidi ba wozinan sidhides.The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.

16Yohannisikka ubbaas, «Tani inttena haaththan xammaqays; gido attiin ta iza caamma birshanaas bessonttay taappe aadhdhizaadey yaana. Izi inttena Xillo Ayananinne taman xammaqana.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.

17Balezan diza kaththaa gafezappe geeshshanaas kath suraggiza layday iza kushen dees. Baleza kumeth geeshshana; gistteza qasse di7en qolana; gafezakka to7ontta taman xuuggana» gides.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.”

18Yohannisi asaa hara dumma dumma zore qaalara minththi zorishe Mishiraachcho qaala yootides.With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.

19Gido attiin Galila biitta haariza Herdoosi ba isha machcho Herodiyaado ekkida gishshassinne hara daro iita ooththida gishshas Yohannisi iza hanqida gishshas,But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,

20kase mooroza bolla hara gujjidi Herdoosi Yohannisa qasho keeththan yeggides.Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.

21Asay xammaqettidaappe guye Yesusikka xammaqettides; izi woossishin saloy doyettides.When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

22Xillo Ayanaykka haraphphe misatidi iza bolla wodhdhides. «Saloppe, ‹Ta dosiza nay nena; Nenan tani ufayettays› » giza qaalay yides.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.”
