3 Ngalawo malanga, Johane+ uMbhabhatisi wafike washumayela+ ehlane laseJudiya,

3 Umphrofethi Isaya abekhuluma ngaye+ ngesikhatsi atsi: “Ukhona lomemeta ehlane, utsi: ‘Lungisani indlela yaJehova!* Yenteni icondze.’”+

2 Encwadzini yemphrofethi Isaya kwabhalwa kwatsiwa: “(Ngitfumela sitfunywa sami embikwakho,* sona sitakulungisela indlela.)+ 3 Ukhona lomemeta ehlane, utsi: ‘Lungisani indlela yaJehova!* Yenteni icondze.’”+ 4 Johane uMbhabhatisi bekasehlane, ashumayela bantfu kutsi babhajatiswe kuze bavete kutsi baphendvukile khona batotsetselelwa tono.+

3 Ngako Johane waya kuto tonkhe tindzawo letiseceleni kweJordane, ashumayela kutsi bantfu babhajatiswe kuze bavete kutsi baphendvukile khona batotsetselelwa tono,+ 4 njengobe kubhaliwe encwadzini yemphrofethi Isaya kwatsiwa: “Ukhona lomemeta ehlane, utsi: ‘Lungisani indlela yaJehova!* Yenteni icondze.+ 5 Tonkhe tihosha kufanele tigcwaliswe, nato tonkhe tintsaba kanye nemagcuma kufanele kwentiwe kube yindzawo lebekile, tindlela letingakacondzi kufanele ticondziswe, netindlela letimbi kufanele tilungiswe, 6 bonkhe bantfu batawubona indlela Nkulunkulu lasindzisa ngayo.’”+
