Luka 3:12-20

¹²Kisha baadhi jha bhatoza ushuru bhahidili kabhele kubhatisibhwa, na bhan'jobhili, “Mwalimu twilondeka kubhomba kiki?

¹³Akabhajobhela, “musikusanyi hela nisu kuliko kya mwilondeka kubhonganiya.”

¹⁴Baadhi jha maaskari kabhele bhakan'kota bhakajobha, “Ni teta je? Twilondeka tuketajhi kiki?” Akabhajobhela, “Musitoli hela kwa munu jhejhioha kwa nghofu, na musin'tuhumu munu jhejhioha kwa udesi. Muridhikayi kwa mishahara jhinu.”

¹⁵Henu, kwa kujha bhanu bhajhele ni shauku jha kundendela Kristo jhaibeta kuhida, khila mmonga akajhaibhwasya mu muoyo bhwa muene kuhusu Yohana kama muene ndo kristo.

¹⁶Yohana ajibili ni kubhajobhela bhoha, “Nene nikabhabatisya muenga kwa masi, lakini ajhe mmonga jhaihida ambajhe muene ajhe ni nghofu kuliko nene, na nilondeka lepi hata kuhobhosya mighojhi jha filatu fya muene. Ibeta kubhabatisya muenga kwa Roho mtakatifu ni kwa muoto.

¹⁷Pepeto lya muene lijhele mumabhoko gha muene bhwa kupepetela ngano ni kujhibhonganiya ngano mu ghala lya muene. Lakini, ibeta kughateketesya makapi kwa muoto ambabho bhwibhwesya lepi kusimika.

¹⁸Kwa maonyo ghangi ghamehele kabhele, ahubiri habari jhinofu kwa bhanu.

¹⁹Yohana an'kemili kabhele Herode mbaha ghwa mkoa kwa kun'gega Herodia, n'dala ghwa ndongo munu ni kwa maovu ghangi ghamehele ambagho Herode aghabhombili.

²⁰Lakini baadajhe Herode abhombili uovu bhongi bhubhibhi sana. An'kongili Yohana muligereza.
