24 Kumara abhabhiri bhayo bhakagya, Yeesu akataanga okubhuurira esaango ya abhaatu iguru wa Yohana. Akabhabhuurya, "Hano mwaagiiri mwiitirigo kurora Yohana, mbe, mukagya kuroraki? Mbe, mukagya kurora omuutu wuno akwiikirirya amangʼana goosi kyeego maara yino ekusiingiswa kwo obhukama? Zeyi. 25 Ambe, mukagya kuroraki? Mbe, mukagya kumurora omuutu wuno yiibhohiri emyeenda emizomu? Zeyi. Abhaatu bhano bhakwiibhoha emyeenda gyo obhuguri obhukuru no okwiizomya kwo obhwaaru bhwe ebhigiro, bhayo bharabha bhariikara muziinyuumba zye ekitemi.

26 "Nawe, mukagya kuroraki? Mbe, mukagya kumurora omurooti omurebhe? Eheene ni murooti, kweeki ndabhabhuurira, Yohana ni mukuru kukira omurooti. 27 Wuyo niwe wuno Amakaamo Amahoreeru gakubhuga iguru waaye,

‘Rora, ndamuragania omuhokya waane embere waazo,

okubha akweeyeerye enzira.’*7:27 Rora Maraaki 3:1."

28 Yeesu akabhuga kweeki, "Ndabhabhuurira obhuheene, mubhaatu bhoosi bhano bhiibhwiirwe mukyaaro akyaari kutuuka omukuru kukira Yohana Omubatiizi. Nawe omuutu omusuuhu kukira bhoosi mubhutemi bhwa Taatabhugya, niwe omukuru kukira Yohana Omubatiizi."

29 Abhaatu bhayo bhoosi, hamwe na abhatobhya bhe eriigooti, hano bhakiigwa amangʼana ga Yeesu, bhakiikirirya kubha amiiseego ga Taatabhugya gaari mazomu, kwo okubha nibho bharya Yohana yabhabatiiziri. 30 Nawe Abhafarisayo na abheegya bhe emigiro, bhakaanga amiiseegi ga Taatabhugya kweebho, kwo okubha bhataabatiizirwe na Yohana.
