(Mataayo 3:1-12; Mariko 1:1-8; Yohana 1:19-28)
1 Gwaari omwaaka gwi ikumi ne etaano gwa mubhukaangati bhwo omutemi omukuru Tiberio, no omwaanaangwa we ekyaaro kya Yudea yaari Pontio Pirato. No omukaangati we ekyaaro kya Gariraaya yaari Herode, no omukaangati we ebhyaaro bhya Iturea na Tarakoniti yaari Firipo, wamwaabhu Herode. No omukaangati we ekyaaro kya Abirene yaari Risania.
2 Na abhaseengeri abhakuru nibho bhaari Anasi hamwe na Kayafa.
Kwe eriibhaga riyo, Yohana omwaana wa Zakaria wuyo, yaari mwiitirigo, na hano yaari eyo akahaabhwa engʼana na Taatabhugya.
3 Yohana yaari aragya kuhitira ekyaaro kyoosi kino kyareeni ne Ekitaaro kya Yorodaani, eno ararwaazira engʼana yiyo. Yaari arabhabhuurira abhaatu, “Mute ebhibhi bhyeenyu mumukyoorere Taatabhugya no okubatiizwa, okubha abhaabhire ebhibhi bhyeenyu!”
4 Niigo amangʼana gayo ga Yohana gabheeri kyeego gakaamirwe mukitabhu no omurooti Isaya:
“Omuutu wuno akubhirikira kwe eriiraka ikuru okurwa mwiitirigo:
‘Mumukorere Omukuru enzira,
mugororokye eziinzira zino araahite.
5 Muribhe amaruuma goosi,
na muroosye ebhiguru ne ebhiswa.
Mugororokye eziinzira zino ziikiikiri,
na muroosye ebhiruumwa bhisuuhu.
6 Niho abhaatu bhoosi bharaarore obhutuurya bhuno bhukurwa ku Taatabhugya.’ ”
7 Abhaatu bhaaru bhaari bharamuuzaku Yohana, kubha abhabatiize. Kyaamwe, akabha arabhabhuurira, “Emwe orwiibhuro rwe enzoka! Weewi abhabhuuriiri kubha muranagya kuryaara obhutemwa bhwa Taatabhugya bhuno bhukuuza kwo okubatiizwa ego?
8 Ambe, mukore amahokya gano, gakweerekya kubha mumariri kuta ebhibhi bhyeenyu na mumwiikyooreeri Taatabhugya. Mutataanga kugaamba kubha Taatabhugya arabhiikirirya kyeego mukwiizuungya, ‘Zaazi weetu ni Aburahamu!’ Ndabhabhuurira kubha, Taatabhugya aranagya kukyoosya amagina gano kubha abhaana bha Aburahamu!
9 Na bhoono obhutini bhwe ekiina kya Taatabhugya bhuri iguru weenyu kyeego ehaazi eri iguru ya amatina ge emiti. Na bhano bhatakukora amahokya amazomu bharatinirwa ekiina, kyeego emiti gyoosi gino gitakwiibhura emisumo emizomu gikutinwa no okurekerwa mumuriro.”
10 Niho amahizo ga abhaatu bhano bhaari bharimu, bhakamubhuurya Yohana, “Bhoono, tukoreki?”
11 Akabhakyoora, “Wowoosi wuno ane emyeenda ebhiri, aruusye ogumwe kuwuno ataanagwe. Na wowoosi wuno ane ebhyaakurya, ewe woosi asoondere wuno ataanabhyo.”
12 Kwiihizo riyo bhaari bhariho na abhatobhya bhe eriigooti, neebho bhakamuuzaku Yohana, okubha abhabatiize. Bhakamubhuurya, “Ee Omweegya, na neetwe tukoreki?”
13 Akabhakyoora, “Muraatobhe eriigooti, mutatobha ikuru kukira ekireengero kino kiteerweho.”
14 Neebho bhaari bhariho abhasirikare, bhakamubhuurya, “Neetwe tukoreki?”
Akabhakyoora, “Mutaaza kuruusya omuutu ebhigiro bhyaaye, na mutaaza kumubheehera. Na kweeki mwiiswe na amariho gano mukuhaabhwa.”
15 Abhaatu bhoosi, bhaari bhariibhuurya no okwiiseega muziikoro zyaabhu kubha, hamwe Yohana niwe Masiya.
16 Yohana akabhabhuurira bhoosiigo, “Enye, ndabhabatiiza kwa amaanzi. Nawe araaza omuutu owuundi inyuma waane wuno akunikira amanaga, enye nitakungʼarira kubha omuhokya waaye naabhe okutazura eziikobha zye ebhikweera bhyaaye! Ewe niwe arabhabatiiza kwe Ekoro Muhoreeru.
17 Ewe ni kyo omurimi wuno akugwaata oruhuungo mumabhoko gaaye okubha aseese omukuunyu kurwa mungano. Engano yiyo, arayikumanirya mukitara kyaaye, nawe omukuunyu, aragwookya mumuriro guno gutakurima.”
18 Kwa amangʼana gayo goosi na agaandi, Yohana yaari arabhariihya no okukumiirirya abhaatu bhayo, kwo okubharwaazira Amangʼana Amazomu ga Taatabhugya.
19 Nawe Yohana akamwiiyogya Herode, kwo okubha Herode akamusikirya Herodia no okumukora mukaaye, nawe Herodia wuyo yaari akweerirwe no wamwaabhu omusuuhu. Yohana akamurekya kungʼana yiyo, na kwe ebhibhi ebhiindi bhyoosi bhino yaari arakora.
20 Niho, Herode akaaruhya ebhibhi bhyaaye kweeki, kwo okumubhoha Yohana munyuumba ya abhabhohwa.
Yohana aramubatiiza Yeesu
(Mataayo 3:13-17; Mariko 1:9-11)
21 Hano Yohana ya akyaari kubhohwa, abhaatu bhaaru bhaari bharabatiizwa, Yeesu woosi akaaza kubatiizwa. Eriibhaga yaari kusabha, eriisaaro rikiiguka,
22 Ekoro Muhoreeru akamwiikira iguru yaaye kye ekiguuti. Niho, eriiraka rikarwa mwiisaaro rikabhuga, “Awe naawe Omwaana waane omuseegwa, nizomereerwe naawe.”
