3 Igihe kimwe Yohana+ Umubatiza yabwirije+ mu butayu bwa Yudaya 2 avuga ati: “Nimwihane, kuko Ubwami bwo mu ijuru buri hafi kuza.”+ 3 Nanone Yohana ni we umuhanuzi Yesaya+ yari yarahanuye avuga ati: “Hari umuntu urangurura ari mu butayu agira ati: ‘nimutegurire Yehova inzira, mumutunganyirize aho anyura.’”+

7 Bakimara kuva aho, Yesu atangira kubwira abantu benshi bari bamuteze amatwi ibya Yohana. Arababaza ati: “Mwagiye mu butayu kureba iki?+ Ese ni urubingo ruhuhwa n’umuyaga?+

10 Uwo ni we ibyanditswe byavuzeho bigira biti: ‘dore nzohereza intumwa yanjye imbere yawe, kandi ni yo izakubanziriza igutegurire inzira!’+

2 Mu gitabo cy’umuhanuzi Yesaya handitswe ngo: “(Dore ngiye kohereza intumwa yanjye imbere yawe, kandi ni yo izagutegurira inzira.)+ 3 Hari umuntu uvuga cyane ari mu butayu, agira ati: ‘nimutegurire Yehova* inzira, mumutunganyirize aho anyura.’”+ 4 Yohana Umubatiza yaje mu butayu, abwiriza abantu ko bagombaga kubatizwa, bakagaragaza ko bihannye kugira ngo bababarirwe ibyaha.+

76 Ariko wowe mwana wanjye, uzitwa umuhanuzi w’Isumbabyose, kuko Yehova azakohereza mbere ukamutegurira inzira,+

6 Hari umuntu watumwe ngo ahagararire Imana. Uwo muntu yitwaga Yohana.+

23 Arababwira ati: “Ni njye urangururira mu butayu mvuga nti: ‘mutunganye inzira za Yehova,’+ nk’uko umuhanuzi Yesaya yabivuze.”+

28 Mwebwe ubwanyu mwemeza neza ko navuze nti: ‘si njye Kristo.+ Ahubwo noherejwe kumubanziriza.’+
