3 Ngalawo malanga, Johane+ uMbhabhatisi wafike washumayela+ ehlane laseJudiya, 2 watsi: “Phendvukani, ngobe uMbuso wemazulu sewusondzele.”+ 3 Umphrofethi Isaya abekhuluma ngaye+ ngesikhatsi atsi: “Ukhona lomemeta ehlane, utsi: ‘Lungisani indlela yaJehova!* Yenteni icondze.’”+

7 Kwatsi lapho bafundzi baJohane sebasendleleni, Jesu wakhuluma nalesicumbi sebantfu mayelana naJohane watsi: “Ngesikhatsi nisuka niya ehlane, beniyele kuyobonani?+ Beniyele kuyobona umhlanga upheshulwa ngumoya yini?+

10 Lona nguye lokwabhalwa ngaye nakutsiwa: ‘Ngitfumela sitfunywa sami embikwakho,* sona sitakulungisela indlela!’+

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.+

76 Ngako wena Mntfwanami, utawubitwa ngekutsi ungumphrofethi waLosetikwako Konkhe, ngobe utawuhamba embikwaJehova* umlungisele indlela,+

6 Kwefika umuntfu lobekatfunywe nguNkulunkulu, libito lakhe bekunguJohane.+

23 Watsi kubo: “Ngilivi lalotsite lomemeta ehlane atsi: ‘Yentani indlela yaJehova* icondze,’+ njengobe nje umphrofethi Isaya asho.”+

28 Nani nibofakazi bekutsi ngatsi: ‘Angisuye Khristu,+ kodvwa ngitfunywe kutsi ngihambe embikwakhe.’+
