Luka 3:12-20

¹²Nawo iwasola kodi watsa wabatitsighwe, wamghutsa, “Imlangulitsi, twetwe tutende choni?”

¹³Nae kawalongela, “Mleke kusola kodi kubita pfamlaghitsighwe.”

¹⁴Nawo asikali wamghutsa, “Na twetwe tutende choni?” Naye kawedika, “Mleke kuboka ipfinu pfe imunu wowose na mleke kumbangitsila imunu wowose. Mwenele na achila chamulihighwa.”

¹⁵Iwanu wang'ali wololela ipfinu ipfitsolawila, wandusa kwalangula mna imimoyo yawo mbuli tsa Yohane, pfii ayu ka Kiristu?

¹⁶Baho Yohane kawalongela wose, “Nene nowabatitsa mwemwe kwa ghamatsi, lekeni kakutsa yane ngupfu kubita nene, nene sidaha bae kumdoholela mitsabi ye imikwabatsa yake. Ayo katsowabatitsa kwa Ghumuhe ghwe Imulungu na kwa ghumoto ghwa kuhigha.

¹⁷Ayo kana lungo mne ghamoko ghake, abetele uhemba wake, awike hamwe mne ikano yake na katsolakatsa mikumvi mne ghumoto ing'aghutsimika bae.”

¹⁸Apfo kwa mbuli tsingi, Yohane tsayang'ali yowapetela iwanu Imbuli Inoghile.

¹⁹Lekeni Yohane tsakamkembela Herodi, mkulu wa Galilaya, kwaapfila kamkwela Herodiya, mwehe wa ndughu yake, ne ipfinu pfingi pfihile pfatendile Herodi.

²⁰Kuya Herodi kongetsa ichinu chingi chihile kwa kumwika Yohane mne ligheretsa.
