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,

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

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

²in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness.

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

³He came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for remission of sins.

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

⁴As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.

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,

⁵Every valley will be filled. Every mountain and hill will be brought low. The crooked will become straight, and the rough ways smooth.

⁶Uunka oo dhammuna badbaadinta Ilaah ayay arki doonaan.

⁶All flesh will see God’s salvation.’” Isaiah 40:3-5

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

⁷He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be baptized by him, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

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.

⁸Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and don’t begin to say among yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father;’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!

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.

⁹Even now the axe also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doesn’t bring forth good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.”

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

¹⁰The multitudes asked him, “What then must we do?”

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.

¹¹He answered them, “He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise.”

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

¹²Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”

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

¹³He said to them, “Collect no more than that which is appointed to you.”

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

¹⁴Soldiers also asked him, saying, “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages.”

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

¹⁵As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Christ,

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.

¹⁶John answered them all, “I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire,

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.

¹⁷whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

¹⁸Digniin badan oo kale ayuu dadka ku wacdiyey.

¹⁸Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,

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

¹⁹but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s TR reads “brother Philip’s” instead of “brother’s” wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,

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

²⁰added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

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

²¹Now it happened, when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying. The sky was opened,

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.

²²and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form as a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying “You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased.”
