3 Kunene, loyi hi yena a nga wuliwa hi muphrofeti Isaya+ hi magezu lawa yaku: “Ku zwala gezu ga loyi a huwelelako lomu ciwuleni, aku: ‘Longiselani a ndlela ya Jehovha!* Lulametani maruwa yakwe.’”+

2 A ku khwatsi hi lezvi zvi tsalilweko hi muphrofeti Isaya, aku: “(Ndza rumela a cirun’wa ca mina mahlweni ka wena,* leci ci to ku longisela ndlela.)+ 3 Ku zwala gezu ga loyi a huwelelako lomu ciwuleni, aku: ‘Longiselani a ndlela ya Jehovha!* Lulametani a maruwa yakwe.’”+ 4 Johani Mubhabhatisi i wa hi ciwuleni a chumayela hi kubhabhatisa kota cikombiso ca kutisola kasi ku tsetselelwa zviwonho.+

3 Hikwalaho, i no fambafamba tikweni gontlhe matlhelweni ya Jordhani, a chumayela hi kubhabhatisa kota cikombiso ca kutisola kasi ku tsetselelwa zviwonho,+ 4 a ku khwatsi hi lezvi zvi tsalilweko ka bhuku ga timhaka ta muphrofeti Isaya, zvaku: “Ku zwala gezu ga loyi a huwelelako lomu ciwuleni, aku: ‘Longiselani a ndlela ya Jehovha!* Lulametani a maruwa yakwe.+ 5 A mindzhelelo yontlhe yi wa setelwe, a zvitsunga zvontlhe ni zvitsungana zvi wa lizarelwe; a tindlela to jikajika ti wa lulametiwe, ni tindlela ta zvikhele ti wa bambatelwe; 6 niku a nyama yontlhe* yi ta wona a kuhanyisa ka Nungungulu.’”*+
