2 akulanga’shi: “Elangieyi ku miluisho yenu, muanda Bufumu bua muiyilu tabudi pepi.”
3 Binyibinyi, aye nyi abaabadi bakule pa muanda waye kui mutemuki Yeshaya pabambile’shi: “Eyi dia muntu kuete eele musaase mu kabaaka’shi: ‘Lumbuulayi eshinda dia Yehowa! Lulamishayi mashinda aaye.’”
4 Yowano baadi mufuale kilamba kia buaa bua kamelo, na mukoba wa musokia mu kifuka. Bidibua biaye bibaadi mpasu na buuki.
5 Biabia, muilo oso wa Yelusalema, na bantu boso ba mu Yudeya, na ba mu bibundi bioso bifunyishe Yordane babaadi abende kuadi,
6 na baadi ebabatshisha mu muela wa Yordane, batondanga miluisho yabo patooka.
7 Pabamuene’shi Bafadisee na Basaduseo bebungi bakuete kufika bua kubatshishibua,* be balunguile’shi: “Anue bana ba nyoka, nanyi benudimusha buanudia kusuuka nsungu y’Efile Mukulu ayifiki?
8 Biabia, paayi bikuba* abilesha’shi nubelanga.
9 Tanupuandikishanga na kuamba’shi: ‘Tui na nkambua* eetu Abalahama.’ Muanda nenulungula’shi, Efile Mukulu mulombene kutushiisha Abalahama bana ku ano mabue.
10 Kabengiele nkapue kutudibua ku mushi wa mitshi. Mutshi oso ush’aupa bikuba bibuwa abeutshibi na kuiwela mu kaalo.
11 Ami nkuete kuinubatshisha na mema muanda nubelanga, anka yawa kuete kufika kunyima kuande, e na bukome kunkila, ntshi mulombene sunga kumufuula sandale yaye. Aye akenubatshisha na kikudi kiselele na kaalo.
12 E na lubeshi luaye lua kupepula nalo mu maasa, akalumbuula kalolo mbalo yaye ya kukupiila ntete, na akabungu ntete yaye mu nshibo ya kulamina bintu, anka bipusu akebishiiki mu kaalo kashi bia kushimibua.”
13 Akupu, Yesu bakatukile ku Ngalileya, enda ku muela wa Yordane bua’shi Yowano amubatshishe.
14 Anka Yowano baadi akiebe kumutosha, amulungula’shi: “Ami nyi mulombene kufika kodi bua’shi ombatshishe, kadi obe ofiki kuandi naminyi?”
15 Yesu nkumualula’shi: “Banda kutadiila bua uno mususa, muanda patukitshi biabia, nyi p’atulombasha kiakia kioso kilulame.” Nka paapa, aye nkuleka kumutosha.
