3 Yawa ya 15 ya utongi wa Kaisara Tiberiyo, Pontiyo Pilato ali namatonga wa Yudeya. Herodi* ali namatonga wa Galileya. Filipi balee ali namatonga wa visa vya Itureya na Trakoniti. Thitho Lisaniya ali namatonga wau Abilene. 2 Malambo enao Anasi ali namavelela sembe wa ndimuwa thitho Kayafa ali ndimuwa wa asembe. Vahora yeniyo Madhu a Nlungu atoofiya wa Juwau mwana Zakariya kokolani.

3 Ee-no liye atoodhowa m’mamidhi othene aduzi na Yordani thitho anoolaleela vya ubadizo ninga izindiyelo yochinyuwa ira vyodawa vileveleliwe. 4 Anooira vyevi movwelana na vyalembiwile mu bukhu la madhu a namaongela Esaya ira: “Mutu mwinango unaakhuwa kokolani ira: ‘Musaka-edhe ndhila ya Yohova!* Mulinyali-e ndhiladhee. 5 Ipedipedi iliyothene ivu-eleliwe, thitho mwango uliwethene na khuma uliwethene visaka-edhiwe. Ndhila dhopotapota ndhikhale dholinyali thitho mamburo o-umbeya-umbeya asaka-edhiwe pama. 6 Atu othene anodha ona ndhila ya Nlungu yovulumuchana atu.”

7 Ee-no atooroma wandela mwinji waatu wadha wa liye dhabadiziwa ira: “Nyo ana nyowa, n’nga mbaani uuwenjeli-idheni ira mutawe thakaleliwa wa dambo la Nlungu? 8 Moi e-no muire vyongo vyothonyi-edha ira mutochinyuwa. Thitho kamudhinami-enga ira, ‘Nitokaana babi-u Abrahamu.’ Namwasa oi ndinouwandelani ira Nlungu unooda m’saka-edhela Abrahamu a-ima khumela wu mabwe ala. 9 Mwaimbarimbari, mbadho itomala e-liwa vamichichini ya miri. Ee-no muri uliwethene o-ova-a vyova-a vyapama unokakatiwa noponyedhiwa vamuloni.”

10 Moi e-no mwinji waatu wanoom’fuka ira: “N’nga niire n’ni?” 11 Juwau atoawakhula ira: “Mutu una vyowara vinli ava-emo mutu ukhondile a-kaana thitho una yodya aire vimbo-ive vyevyo.” 12 Alimbo khoma soko naaliwene thitho tatoodha dhabadiziwa thitho tatoom’fuka ira: “Namafunji-a n’nga niire n’ni?” 13 Liye atoawandela ira: “Kamupangali-enga atu vyongo vinjinji kwaranya pereso ya soko.” 14 Naaliwene thitho anyakhondo tanom’fuka ira: “N’nga niire n’ni?” Thitho liye anoawandela ira: “Kamwaaruchi-enga atu venango anukhedha selu onama mbwenye mukwakwanengana vinowachelanyo.”

15 Ee-no atu tadedi-edha Kristu thitho othene tathuulela vya Juwau rimanimwiwa ira: “N’nga wen’na ndi Kristu?” 16 Juwau atoawakhula othene enao ira: “Miyo ndinoubadizani na ma-inje mbwenye mutu mwinango wakopolo kwaranya miyo unaaudha thitho miyo kandili ofwanelela thathula migo-i ya sapatodhee. Liye unodha ubadizani na zimu ochena thitho mulo. 17 Focholwee yopurumuchana mavembo ili mandhanimwee thitho imbuwayee yoputelavo mbeu unodha icheni-a pama. Tirigu unodha m-elela mathathani, mbwenye mavembo unodha atumeya na mulo o-otimi-eya.”

18 Juwau atoovelela thitho malangi-o enango manjinji thitho atoodhowanave laleela milanyu yapama waatu. 19 Voi ira Juwau atoosumulula namatonga Herodi vamwasa okuza Erodiya i-yana wabalee, thitho namwasa wa vyothakala vyairile Herodi, 20 Herodi atoowenjedhela yothakala inango va vyairile liyevyo: Liye atoom’fungela Juwau perezo.

21 Vahora yabadiziwa atu othene, naliyene Yesu atoobadiziwa. Moi e-no vahora yalobela liye, dhulu watoodhuleya, 22 thitho zimu ochena ooneya ninga kangaiwa watoothitha dham’gotela. Moi e-no vatoovweya madhu okhumela dhulu oonga ira: “We uli mwananga odhiveliwiwa, unondisangalali-a maningi.”
