Mateus 3

Yohana Mbatizi koligula

1 Mazua gaja Yohana Mbatizi kalawila yoligula mchiwala cha Yudea kalonga, 2 "Hindukeni na kuleka malozo genu," kwavija ufaume wakuulanga wammabehi!" 3 Ino Yohana iyo ija mlagusi wa Mulungu Isaya yamlongile mbuli zake, viyalongile,

"Dizi ya munhu yokema kulawa kuchiwala,

‘Mtandileni goya Mndewa nzila yake,

Mgoloseleni nzila yake.’"

4 Yohana kakala na valo disonigwe kwa lusinga lwa ngamia, na mkwiji wa msipi wa mbende mchigudi chake. Ndia yake ikala nzige na uki wa kumbago. 5 Baho, wanhu kulawa Yelusalemu na waja walawile Uyahudi yose na mzi isi zose zili mumgwazo wa lwanda lwa Yolodani wamuwinza Yohana. 6 Nao wahinduka na kuleka malozo gao, nayo Yohana kawabatiza mulwanda lwa Yolodani.
