¹In those days, John the Baptizer came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,

¹Maalmahaas waxaa yimid Yooxanaa Baabtiisaha isagoo cidlada Yahuudiya wax ku wacdiyaya, oo leh,

²“Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”

²Toobad keena, waayo, boqortooyadii jannadu waa dhow dahay.

³For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, make ready the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.” Isaiah 40:3

³Waayo, kan waa kii nebi Isayos ka hadlay kolkuu yidhi, Waa codka kan cidlada kaga qaylinaya, Jidka Rabbiga hagaajiya, Waddooyinkiisa toosiya.

⁴Now John himself wore clothing made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.

⁴Yooxanaa qudhiisu wuxuu guntanaa dharkiisii dhogorta geel ahaa, oo suun meged ahna dhexduu ku xidhnaa, cuntadiisuna waxay ahayd ayax iyo malab dibadeed.

⁵Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him.

⁵Markaas waxaa u soo baxay dadka Yeruusaalem, iyo kuwa Yahuudiya oo dhan iyo kuwa dalka Urdun ku wareegsan oo dhan,

⁶They were baptized or, immersed by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.

⁶markaasuu Webi Urdun ku baabtiisay iyagoo dembiyadooda qiranaya.

⁷But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, or, immersion he said to them, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

⁷Laakiin goortuu arkay qaar badan oo Farrisiin iyo Sadukiin ah oo baabtiiskiisa yimid wuxuu ku yidhi, Dhal jilbisay, yaa idiinka digay inaad ka carartaan cadhada imanaysa?

⁸Therefore bring forth fruit worthy of repentance!

⁸Haddaba midho toobad istaahila soo bixiya,

⁹Don’t think to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father,’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

⁹hana ku fikirina inaad tidhaahdaan, Waxaannu leennahay Ibraahim oo aabbe noo ah. Waayo, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Ilaah waa karaa inuu dhagaxyadan carruur uga kiciyo Ibraahim.

¹⁰“Even now the axe lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that doesn’t bring forth good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.

¹⁰Haddeer weliba faaska waxaa la dhigay geedaha guntooda. Sidaa darteed geed walba oo aan midho wanaagsan soo bixin waa la gooyaa oo dabkaa lagu tuuraa.

¹¹I indeed baptize or, immerse you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit. TR and NU add “and with fire”

¹¹Anigu biyo ayaan idinku baabtiisaa ilaa toobadda, laakiin kan iga daba imanayaa waa iga itaal weyn yahay, kan aanan istaahilin inaan kabihiisa u qaado. Isagu wuxuu idinku baabtiisi doonaa Ruuxa Quduuska ah iyo dab.

¹²His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.”

¹²Masaftiisu gacantiisay ku jirtaa, goobta wax lagu tumona aad buu u safayn doonaa, oo sarreenkiisa ayuu maqsinka ku soo ururin doonaa, laakiin buunshaha ayuu dab aan damayn ku gubi doonaa.

¹³Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.

¹³Markaasaa Ciise Galili ka yimid oo Webi Urdun ugu tegey Yooxanaa inuu baabtiiso.

¹⁴But John would have hindered him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?”

¹⁴Yooxanaase waa diiday, isagoo leh, Anaa u baahan inaad i baabtiisto, adiguna miyaad ii timid?

¹⁵But Jesus, answering, said to him, “Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed him.

¹⁵Laakiin Ciise waa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Haddeer oggolow, waayo, sidaas waa inoo eg tahay inaynu xaqnimada oo dhan wada yeelno; markaasuu u oggolaaday.

¹⁶Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water: and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.

¹⁶Ciise goortii la baabtiisay, ayuu markiiba biyaha kor uga baxay, kolkaasaa samooyinku furmeen, oo wuxuu arkay Ruuxa Ilaah oo sida qoolley oo kale u soo degaya oo dushiisa imanaya,oo cod baa samooyinka ka lahaa, Kanu waa Wiilkayga aan jeclahay, oo aan ku faraxsanahay.

¹⁷Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

¹⁷oo cod baa samooyinka ka lahaa, Kanu waa Wiilkayga aan jeclahay, oo aan ku faraxsanahay.
