¹Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,

¹Waxay ahayd sannaddii shan iyo tobnaad oo Tiberiyas Kaysar boqranaa, markii Bontiyos Bilaatos xukumi jiray Yahuudiya, oo Herodos taliye u ahaa Galili, walaalkiis Filibosna taliye u ahaa Ituraya iyo dalkii Tarakhoonitis, oo Lusaniyas taliye u ahaa Abilene,

²Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

²oo Annas iyo Kayafas wadaaddadii sare ahaan jireen, markaasaa ereygii Ilaah cidlada ugu yimid Yooxanaa ina Sakariyas.

³And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

³Wuxuu yimid Webi Urdun hareerihiis oo dhan isagoo dadka ku wacdiyeya baabtiiskii toobadda dembidhaafka aawadiis,

⁴As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

⁴siday ugu qoran tahay kitaabkii hadallada Nebi Isayos, Waa codka kan cidlada kaga qaylinaya, Jidka Rabbiga hagaajiya, Waddooyinkiisa toosiya.

⁵Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;

⁵Dooxo walba waa la buuxin doonaa, Qar iyo buur walbana waa la gaabin doonaa, Wixii qalloocanna waa la toosin doonaa, Jidadka xunxunna waa la simi doonaa,

⁶And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

⁶Uunka oo dhammuna badbaadinta Ilaah ayay arki doonaan.

⁷Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

⁷Haddaba wuxuu ku yidhi dadkii badnaa oo u soo baxay inuu baabtiiso iyaga, Dhal jilbisay, yaa idiinka digay inaad ka carartaan cadhada imanaysa?

⁸Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

⁸Haddaba midho toobad istaahila soo bixiya, hana bilaabina inaad isku tidhaahdaan, Waxaannu leennahay Ibraahim oo aabbe noo ah. Waayo, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Ilaah waa karaa inuu dhagaxyadan carruur uga kiciyo Ibraahim.

⁹And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

⁹Haddeer weliba faaska waxaa la dhigay geedaha guntooda. Sidaa darteed geed walba oo aan midho wanaagsan soo bixin waa la gooyaa oo dabka lagu tuuraa.

¹⁰And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

¹⁰Markaasaa dadkii badnaa weyddiiyeen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Haddaba maxaannu samaynaa?

¹¹He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.

¹¹Kolkaasuu u jawaabay oo iyagii ku yidhi, Kii laba khamiis qabaa, ha siiyo kii aan waxba qabin; kii cunto qabaana, sidaas oo kale ha yeelo.

¹²Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?

¹²Markaasaa waxaa u yimid cashuurqaadayaal in la baabtiiso, waxayna ku yidhaahdeen, Macallimow, annaguna maxaannu samaynaa?

¹³And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.

¹³Isaguna wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaa laydiin amray wax ka badan ha qaadanina.

¹⁴And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.

¹⁴Markaasaa askarna weyddiisay oo ku tidhi, Annaguna maxaannu samaynaa? Wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Ninna ha dulmina, oo ninna ha masabidina; mushahaaradiinnana raalli ku ahaada.

¹⁵And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;

¹⁵Intii dadku filanayeen oo kulligoodna qalbiyadooda kaga fikirayeen Yooxanaa inuu yahay Masiixii iyo in kale,

¹⁶John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:

¹⁶ayaa Yooxanaa kulligood u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Anigu waxaan idinku baabtiisaa biyo, laakiin waxaa imanaya ku iga itaal weyn, kan aanan istaahilin inaan yeelmihii kabihiisa furo. Isagu wuxuu idinku baabtiisi doonaa Ruuxa Quduuska ah iyo dab.

¹⁷Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

¹⁷Masaftiisu gacantiisay ku jirtaa inuu goobtiisa wax lagu tumo aad u safeeyo oo sarreenkana maqsinkiisa ku soo ururiyo, laakiin buunshaha ayuu dab aan demeyn ku gubi doonaa.

¹⁸And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.

¹⁸Digniin badan oo kale ayuu dadka ku wacdiyey.

¹⁹But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,

¹⁹Laakiin kolkuu taliye Herodos u canaantay walaalkiis Filibos naagtiisii Herodiya aawadeed, iyo waxyaalaha xunxun oo Herodos sameeyey oo dhan aawadood,

²⁰Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.

²⁰ayaa Herodos waxan oo dhan weliba ku daray inuu Yooxanaa ku xidho xabsigii.

²¹Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

²¹Markii dadkii oo dhan la baabtiisay, waxaa dhacay in Ciisena la baabtiisay, oo intuu tukanayay ayaa samadu furantay,

²²And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

²²oo Ruuxa Quduuska ah ayaa dushiisa ku soo degay isagoo muuqasho jidh leh oo qoolley u eg, waxaana samada ka yimid cod leh, Adigu waxaad tahay Wiilkayga aan jeclahay; ee waan kugu faraxsanahay.
