³ Mu mwaka wa bu 15 wa bukalama bwa kwa Tibeliusa Kesala, kimye Pontiusa Pilato kyo ajinga kitumbafumu wa Yudea, Heloda+ saka aji ntangi wa nkambi ya Ngalilea, ne Filipa mulongo wanji saka aji ndamakyalo wa kyalo kya Itulea ne Tilakonitisa, ne Lisanyasa saka aji ntangi wa nkambi ya Abilene, 2 mu moba a ñanga mukatampe Anasa ne a kwa Kaifasa,+ byambo bya Lesa byaishile kwi Yoano+ mwana wa kwa Zekaliya mu kiselebwa.+

3 Onkao mambo, waishile mu nyaunda yonse ya Yodano saka asapwila lubatizhilo kwikala kiyukilo kya lulapilo lulengela kulekelwa mambo,+ 4 byonka byo kyanembwa mu buku wa ngauzhi Isaya amba: “Kuji ubena kubijika mungye amba: ‘Nengezhezhai jimo jishinda ja Yehoba!* Ololai mashinda anji.+ 5 Bimpachiko byonse bakebizhiika, ne mitumba yonse ne tutumbatumba tonse baketupalañanya; mashinda akonkomana bakeolola ne mashinda aji na bimbo bakeawamisha; 6 ne bantu bonse bakamona lupulukilo lwa Lesa.’”*+

7 Byonkabyo, waambijile jibumba jaishile kwi aye na kubatizhiwa amba: “Anweba baana ba bipiji, ñanyi wimujimunako amba munyeme bukaji bubena kwiya?+ 8 Onkao mambo, mweshainga bipangwa bimwesha kulapila. Kange mulangulukenga mu michima yenu amba, ‘Tuji na shetu Abalahama’ ne. Amiwa nemwambila namba, Lesa wakonsha kwalula ano mabwe kwikala baana ba kwa Abalahama. 9 Kapasa bekatula kala ku mizhazhi ya bichi. Kichi kyonse kibula kupanga bipangwa byawama, bakekitema ne kwikitaya mu mujilo.”+

10 Kabiji jibumba jamushikishe’mba: “Pano nanchi atweba tube byepi?” 11 Aye wibakumbwile’mba: “Muntu uji na bivwalo bibiji apepo mukwabo wabulabyo, ne yewa uji na kajo naye obe byonkabyo.”+ 12 Ne basonkeshi nabo baishile na kubatizhiwa,+ kabiji bamushikishe’mba: “Mufunjishi, nanchi tube byepi?” 13 Aye wibakumbwile’mba: “Mwafwainwa kutambulangatu mali a misonko, kechi kunungapo ne.”+ 14 Kabiji bashilikale nabo bamushikishe’mba: “Nanchi tube byepi?” Aye wibakumbwile’mba: “Kange mutambulenga mali ku bantu mu lunkanankana ne, nangwa kubepela muntu ne,+ bino sekelai na byonka byo mutambula.”*

15 Bantu byo batengejilenga kwiya kwa Kilishitu, bonse balangulukilenga mu michima yabo pe Yoano amba, “Uno kana ye Kilishitu nyi?”+ 16 Yoano wibakumbwile bonse amba: “Amiwa nemubatizha mu mema, pakuba awa wankila bulume ubena kwiya kabiji kechi nakonsha kukasulula ntambo ya pa makwabilo anji ne.+ Aye ukemubatizha anweba na mupashi wazhila ne na mujilo.+ 17 Fosholo wanji wa kululwilako uji mu kuboko kwanji kuba’mba atokeshe bulongo kipujilo kyanji ne kulonga wichi mu butala bwanji, pakuba makunzhi ukeasoka mu mujilo ye bakonsha kubula kuzhimya.”

18 Aye waambilepo ne byambo bikwabo byavula kabiji wasapwijilenga mambo awama ku bantu. 19 Bino Heloda ntangi wa nkambi, na mambo a kuba bamusanzhilemo kwi Yoano na mambo a kwa Helodyasa muka kolojanji, ne na mambo a bubi bonse Heloda bo aubile, 20 wanungilepo ne kikwabo pa bino byubilo byonse: Watayile Yoano mu kaleya.+

21 Bantu bonse byo babatizhiwe, Yesu naye wabatizhiwe.+ Byo alombelenga, jiulu jashinkukile,+ 22 ne mupashi wazhila waishile pe aye nobe nkunda, kabiji jiwi jafumine mwiulu amba: “Obewa wi Mwanami ye natemwa; mo mmwena lusekelo.”+
