2Anasi naKayafasi vari vapristi vakuru, shoko raMwari rakasvika kuna Johwani mwanakomana waZakaria murenje.
2 kaŋ Hanana nda Kayafa gonda alfagataray dabaro, waato din no Irikoy sanno kaa Yohanna do, Zakariya izo kaŋ go ganjo ra.
3Akasvika munyika yose yakapoteredza yaJoridani, achiparidza rubhabhatidzo rwekutendeuka kuve kukangamwirwa kwezvivi;
3 Yohanna koy laabey kulu ra kaŋ ga maan Urdun* isa. A goono ga tuubi baptisma waazu zunubi yaafayaŋ sabbay se.
4sezvazvakanyorwa mubhuku ramashoko aIsaya muporofita zvichinzi: Inzwi reunodana murenje richiti: Gadzirai nzira yaIshe; ruramisai migwagwa yake.
4 Mate kaŋ i n'a hantum annabi Isaya tira ra ka ne: «Boro fo kaŋ goono ga kuuwa ganjo ra jinda go ga ne: ‹Wa Rabbi fonda soola, w'a fondayzey sasabandi!
5Mupata wose uchafusirwa, negomo roga roga nechikomo zvichaderedzwa; zvakakombama zvicharuramiswa, nzira dzemakwiringwindi dzienzaniswe;
5 I ga gooru kulu toonandi, tondi kuukey da fandu kulu mo, i g'i ye ganda. Isiirey ga ye ka kay soosay, gurbi-gurbey mo ga ye ka te banda folloŋ.
6uye nyama yose ichaona ruponeso rwaMwari.
6 Fundikooni kulu mo ga di Irikoy faaba.› »
7Naizvozvo wakati kuzvaunga zvaibudira kuzobhabhatidzwa naye: Zvizvarwa zvenyoka, ndiani wakakutaridzirai kutiza hasha dzinouya?
7 Yohanna goono ga salaŋ borey marga se kaŋ yaŋ kaa zama a ma te i se baptisma. A ne: «Araŋ wo gazama izey! May no k'araŋ kaseeti ka ne araŋ ma zuru bona kaŋ goono ga kaa se?
8Naizvozvo berekai zvibereko zvakafanira kutendeuka; uye musatanga kuti mukati menyu: Tina Abhurahamu unova baba; nekuti ndinoti kwamuri: Mwari unogona kubva pamabwe awa kumutsira Abhurahamu vana.
8 Araŋ ma te-goy cabe kaŋ ga saba nda tuubiyaŋ. Wa si sintin ka ne araŋ biney ra: ‹Ibrahim ga te iri se baaba.› Zama ay ga ci araŋ se: Irikoy gonda hina kaŋ ga izeyaŋ kaa Ibrahim se baa tondey wo gaa.
9Ikozvino sanhuwo ratoiswa pamudzi wemiti; naizvozvo muti umwe neumwe usingabereki chibereko chakanaka unotemwa, ugokandirwa mumoto.
9 Baa sohõ i na deesi dake tuurey tiksey gaa. Yaadin gaa, tuuri kulu kaŋ siino ga ize hanno hay, i g'a wi k'a catu danji ra.»
10Zvaunga zvikamubvunza, zvichiti: Zvino tichaitei?
10 Kala borey marga n'a hã ka ne: «To, da yaadin no, ifo no iri ga te?»
11Akapindura akati kwavari: Une nguvo mbiri, ngaagovane neusina; neune chikafu ngaaite saizvozvo.
11 A tu ka ne i se: «Boro kaŋ gonda kwaay hinka, kal a ma no boro kaŋ sinda se. Boro kaŋ gonda ŋwaari mo, a ma te yaadin.»
12Zvino kwakauyawo vateresi kuzobhabhatidzwa, vakati kwaari: Mudzidzisi, tichaitei?
12 Jangal taakoyaŋ kaa mo zama i ma te ngey se baptisma. I ne a se: «Alfa, ifo no iri ga te?»
13Akati kwavari: Musateresa kupfuura pamakatemerwa napo.
13 Kal a ne i se: «Araŋ ma si ta ka bisa wo kaŋ i kosu araŋ se din me.»
14Nemautowo akamubvunza, achiti: Ko isu tichaitei? Akati kwaari: Musatyityidzira munhu kana kupomera nhema; uye mugutsikane nemihoro yenyu.
14 Soojeyaŋ mo n'a hã ka ne: «Iri wo, ifo no iri ga te?» A ne i se: «Araŋ ma si boro kulu toonye, araŋ ma si haawa boro kulu gaa mo. Araŋ ma maa kaani mo d'araŋ banando.»
15Zvino vanhu vakati vachatarisira, vose vachirangarira mumoyo mavo pamusoro paJohwani, kuti zvimwe iye ungava Kristu,
15 Borey go hanganyaŋ gaa, i kulu mo goono ga guna ngey biney ra Yohanna boŋ ka di hala nga ya Almasihu no.
16Johwani akapindura kune vose achiti: Ini zvirokwazvo ndinokubhabhatidzai nemvura; asi une simba kupfuura ini unouya, wandisina kufanira kusunungura rukanda rweshangu dzake; iye uchakubhabhatidzai neMweya Mutsvene nemoto;
16 Kala Yohanna tu ka ne i kulu se: «Ay wo, hari no ay goono ga baptisma te d'a araŋ se, amma bora kaŋ ga bisa ay dabari go kaa, nga kaŋ ay mana to naŋ kaŋ ay ga ce daŋ a ce ra. Nga no ga baptisma te araŋ se da Biya Hanno da danji mo.
17werusero rwake rwuri muruoko rwake; uchachenesa kwazvo buriro rake; uye uchaunganidza zviyo mudura rake, asi hundi uchaipisa nemoto usingadzimiki.
17 A fando go a kamba ra, hal a ma nga karayaŋ nango hanandi hal a ma boori. A ga alkama margu ka daŋ nga barma ra, amma a ga duwo ton da danji kaŋ i si hin ka wi.»
18Naizvozvo achikukurudzira nezvinhu zvizhinji, akaparidzira vanhu evhangeri.
18 Yaamaryaŋ sanni fooyaŋ go no mo iboobo kaŋ Yohanna goono ga Baaru Hanna waazu nd'a jama se.
19Asi Herodhe umwe wevatongi vana, wakati atsiurwa naye pamusoro paHerodhiasi, mukadzi waFiripi munin'ina wake, nezvakaipa zvose Herodhe zvaakange aita,
19 Amma waato kaŋ a deeni bonkoono Hirodus gaa, a kayno wando sanni ra (wando maa Hirodiya), a deen'a gaa mo goy meerey kaŋ a te sabbay se,
20wakawedzerazve ichi pamusoro pazvo zvose, kuti wakapfigira Johwani mutirongo.
20 kala koyo ye ka woone tonton i kulu boŋ kaŋ a na Yohanna daabu kaso ra.
21Zvino zvakaitika kuti vanhu vose vabhabhatidzwa, Jesuwo abhabhatidzwa, achinyengetera, denga rakazarurwa.
21 A go no mo, waato kaŋ a na baptisma te borey kulu se ka ban, kaŋ a te Yesu se baptisma, Yesu mo goono ga adduwa, kala beena feeri.
22Mweya Mutsvene ndokuburukira pamusoro pake nechimiro chemuviri sowenjiva, inzwi ndokubva kudenga, richiti: Iwe uri Mwanakomana wangu unodikamwa, wandinofara naye.
22 Biya Hanna mo zumbu a boŋ da gaaham alhaali danga koloŋay cine. Jinde fo mo fun beena ra ka ne: «Nin no ga ti ay Izo kaŋ ay ga ba. Ay ga maa ni kaani gumo.»
