15 Yaahaya alaza oshaahiti awe araka: “Otu ti otule kaari onlupaaye, aari otaaye paata ya miiyo na nwulu zayita miiyo, maana ye aarivo miiyo kihineeyevo.”
16 Maana fooshi fweeyo napokherela phantte ya zooshi ariina na rehema khwa rehema.

22 Khumuuzela yoori: “Khi o paani? Onijipu yoori nawooze apale anirumiyeeyo. Nanna eti onjilupezaaye omweenyewe?”
23 Yaahaya khujipu na mattakhuzi a napiyu Ezaaya araka: “Miiyo ki huula enkhuwaaye n'yaara eraka: ‘Mookolele tarikhi ya Mbwana.”
24 Apale aarumiweeyo aari akhuntti ya mafwarizeewu,

26 Yaahaya khuwaajipu yoori: “Miiyo kinoosa na maati, ila vakatthi venu mweeyo owaapho ntthu mwihininjuwaaye,
27 antaaye paata ya miiyo na wala akinsuhi ofukula mikhoyi za jampali zawe.”
28 Vitthu epo zarettikhana nti wa Betaaniya phantte ya khipula ya muuttho Yorotaani, ottuukho Yaahaya aari orettaawo njampo la woosa.
29 Mmeesho mwaya Yaahaya khumoona Yinsa eettaka ota khuri: “Mwimoone! Oto antaaye apho, pwittipwitthi ya Nluku anlazaaye twampi voolumwenku!
30 Otu ti otule kaari onlupaaye, wakathi opule kaari oraaye: ‘Onta nyumani waka ntthu akizitiye maana ye aarivo miiyo kihineeyevo.’
31 Miiyo akaari onjuwa paani yaya, kateela omoosa na maati yoori athoonyeziwe Ezirayiilu.”
32 Aphano Yaahaya khulawela oshaahiti alupaka theenya yoori: “Miiyo koona Rooho Ttakatthiifu yiishukhaka pinkuuni nkhama jiwa khummorela ye.
33 Miiyo akaari onjuwa paani yaya, ila otule akirumiyeeyo omoosa na maati, khukuuza yoori: ‘Weeyo onteela woona Rooho Ttakatthiifu yiishukhaka na emmorelaka, ntthu aya oto ti anoosanaaye Rooho Ttakatthiifu.’
34 Miiyo koona vitthu epo, tiito kinlawelaaye oshaahiti yoori ye Mwaana wa Nluku.”
35 Mmeesho mwaya Yaahaya aari attaaphale opheya na anakhiyoni awe awiri.
36 Noomoona Yinsa aviraka, khuri: “Mwimoone! Oto antaaye apho Pwittipwitthi ya Nluku!”
37 Anakhiyoni apale awiri a Yaahaya noosiila mattakhuzi apale khusala anlotta Yinsa.
38 Aphano Yinsa khuzukuluwa khweekesa nyuma, khuwoona anakhiyoni apale awiri eettaka onlotta khuwoozela yoori: “Mweeyo mwineekesani?” Khujipu araka: “Rabi” (liriina maana a mwaaliimu), “wamaka vayi?”
39 Khuwaajipu yoori: “Olawa moonewo.” Khulawa khoonawo ohali Yinsa amakiyeewo na khwiiya vamote na ye siikhu yaya etile yooshi. Epo zaarettikhaniye payina ya saa-khuumi ya njuwa-looveva.
40 Antere, ttwiiye Simawu Pheeturu, aari mmote wa mamwinyi apale awiri ansiliyeeyo Yaahaya attakhulaka monkoni wa Yinsa, tiito anlottiyeeyo.
41 Mwanzo wonsikana aari ttwiiye Simawu, na khumuuza yoori: “Nampattha Al-Masiihu” (enlupaaye yoori Namathawaziwa).
42 Antere khunthuula ttwiiye khunlawana wa Yinsa. Yinsa khumweekesa Simawu khuri: “Weeyo o Simawu, mwaana wa Yaahaya, ila waaza nasaapi nzina lawo eriwaka Seefwa.” (Seefwa enlupa yoori Pheeturu).
43 Mmeesho mwaya Yinsa khulakela olawa Kalileya na khunsikana Filiipe, khumuuza yoori: “Okilotte!”
44 Filiipe aari wa sitati ya Betezayiita ottuukho waari owawe Pheeturu na Antere
45 Filiipe khunsikana Natanayeele khumuuza yoori: “Nampattha otule Munsa aatikhiyeeyo nkithaapu ya kano monkoni wa ye na manapiyu. Ti Yinsa wa Nazareeti, mwaana wa Yuusufu!”
