3 M’masiku gelego, Yohane M’batisi jwapite m’chipululu cha Yudeya ni kutanda kulalichila.
2 Jwalakwe jwalalichilaga kuti, “Agalawuche mtima, pakuŵa Uchimwene wakwinani uŵandichile.”
3 Jwakulochesya Yesaya jwasasile kala pakwamba ya Yohane kuti, “Jwine jwakwe akugumila m’chipululu kuti, ‘Alinganye chenene litala lya Yehofa! Ajongole misewu jakwe.’”
4 Yohane jweleju jwawalaga chakuwala cha ubweya* wa ngamila soni lamba jwa lipende m’chiwunu mwakwe. Yakulya yakwe yaliji yitete ni uchi.
5 Myoyo, ŵandu ŵa ku Yelusalemu ni ku Yudeya kosope soni madela gosope gakusyungulila Yolodani ŵayikaga kwa Yohanejo.
6 Jwalakwe jwabatisyaga* ŵanduwo mu Lusulo lwa Yolodani, soni ŵanduwo ŵasalaga yakulemwa yawo pameso pa ŵandu.
7 Paŵaweni Afalisi ni Asaduki ŵajinji ali mkwika ku malo kuŵabatisyaga ŵandu, jwalakwe jwasalile kuti, “Jemanja ŵanache ŵa majoka, ana ŵani ŵamkalamwisye kuti mtile ukali wa Mlungu wawukwikawo?
8 Myoyo msogoleje yisogosi yakulosya kugalawuka mtima.
9 Mkalilambusyaga pakuŵecheta kuti, ‘M’we tuli ŵanache ŵa Abulahamu.’ Pakuŵa ngumsalila kuti Mlungu mpaka ampanganyichisye Abulahamu ŵanache kutyochela ku maganga aga.
10 Sonitu liŵago lili kala pa lipata lya chitela. Myoyo, chitela chilichose changasogola yisogosi yambone chikusosekwa kuchikata ni kuchiponya pamoto.
11 Unetu ngum’batisya jemanja ni mesi ligongo lya kugalawuka mtima kwenu, nambo jwine jwakwika panyuma pangu ali jwamachili kumbunda une, soni nganimba jwakuŵajilwa kumwula sapato syakwe. Jwalakwejo chachim’batisya jemanja ni msimu weswela soni ni moto.
12 Fosholo jakwe jakuwululuchisya masapi jili mmyala mwakwe, soni jwalakwe chachityosya masapi gosope pamalo gakuputilapo mbeju. Tiligu chachimsonganganya ni kumŵika mu ngokwe, nambo masapi chachigajocha ni moto wele nganiwuŵa ukomboleche kuwusimisya.”
13 Kaneko Yesu jwayiche kwa Yohane ku Yolodani kutyochela ku Galileya, kuti abatisidwe ni jwalakwe.
14 Nambo Yohane jwalinjile kumlekasya mwakuŵecheta kuti, “Une ni jwangusosekwa kubatisidwa ni wawojo, sambano ŵalakwe akwikasoni kwa une?”
15 Yesu ŵamjanjile kuti, “Mkandekasya, ligongo kuli kwakuŵajilwa kwa m’weji kuti tukwanilisye yosope yakusaka Mlungu mwakutenda yeleyi.” Kaneko Yohane ŵakundile.
16 Paŵabatisidwe, ndaŵi jijojo Yesu ŵachuwiche m’mesimo, soni kwinani kwawugwiche ni ŵawuweni msimu wa Mlungu uli mkutuluka mpela ngunda ni kutula pa jwalakwe.
17 Nambosoni, papikaniche maloŵe kutyochela kwinani gakuti, “Aju ali Mwanangu, jwapamtima, jwangusasangalala najo.”
