2 Mu nyengu yeniyi, Yohane+ mwana waku Zekariya wanguvwa mazu ngaku Chiuta we muchipululu,+ mu mazuŵa ngaku Anasi mura wa asembi kweniso ngaku Kayafa.+
3 Sonu wangwenda muchigaŵa chosi kuzunguliya Yorodani ndipu wapharazganga ubatizu nge chisimikizu cha kulapa kuti maubudi ngagowokereki.+
4 Nge mo vikulembeke mubuku la mchimi Yesaya kuti: “Mazu nga munthu yo wadaniriza muchipululu kuti: ‘Nozgani nthowa yaku Yehova!* Nyoloskani misewu yaki.+
5 Dambu lelosi liwundiki, mapiri ndi mitunthu viwundumuliki, misewu yosi yakugombeteke yinyoloskeki kweniso misewu yosi yakutundumukatundumuka yiyanisiki.
6 Ŵanthu wosi azamuwona utaski waku Chiuta.’”*+

9 Nadi panu, mbavi yaŵikika kali pamisisi ya vimiti. Ndipu chimiti chechosi cho chileka kupasa vipasu vamampha, chidumulikengi ndi kuponyeka pamotu.”+
10 Ndipu chigulu cha ŵanthu chafumbanga Yohane kuti: “Nanga tichitenji?”
11 Iyu wanguŵamuka kuti: “Munthu yo we ndi malaya ngaŵi* wagaŵiyeku munyaki yo walivi, ndipu yo we ndi chakurya, nayu so wagaŵiyeku munyaki yo walivi.”+
12 Chinanga mbakusonkhesa msonkhu nawu anguza kuzibatizika+ ndipu angumukambiya kuti: “Msambizi, tichitenji?”
13 Iyu wanguŵakambiya kuti: “Mungalipirisanga* msonkhu wakujumpha wo ukuŵikika cha.”+
14 Ndipu wo agwiranga ntchitu ya usilikali amufumbanga kuti: “Tichitenji?” Iyu wanguŵamuka kuti: “Mungasuzganga ŵanthu cha pamwenga kuŵamba mulandu waboza,+ kweni mukhorwengi ndi vo mulonde.”*
15 Ŵanthu alindizganga Khristu ndipu wosi aŵanaŵananga vakukwaskana ndi Yohane mumtima mwawu kuti, “Kumbi ndi Khristu cha uyu?”+
16 Yohane wangumuka wosi kuti: “Ini nditikubatizani ndi maji, kweni yo watuza ngwanthazi kuluska ini, ndipu nde wakwenere cha kufwatuwa nthambu za sapatu zaki.+ Iyu wazakukubatizani ndi mzimu wakupaturika kweniso motu.+
17 Iyu we ndi fosholu yakuwulusiya mwere mumanja mwaki kuti watowese limu malu ngaki ngakukhwemiyapu mbewu ndi kuŵika tirigu munkhokwi yaki, kweni mwere wazakuwuwotcha ndi motu wambula kuzimwika.”
18 Wanguŵachiska mu nthowa zakupambanapambana ndipuso wangulutirizga kupharazgiya ŵanthu uthenga wamampha.
19 Kweni pakuti Herodi yo walamuliyanga chigaŵa, wanguchenyeka ndi Yohane pa nkhani yaku Herodiya muwolu wa mku waki kweniso chifukwa cha vinthu vosi viheni vo wanguchita,
20 wangusazgiyapu so chinthu chinyaki chiheni ichi: Wangujaliya Yohane mujeri.+
21 Sonu Yohane wangubatiza ŵanthu anandi ndipu Yesu nayu wangubatizika.+ Wachipemphera, kuchanya kungujulika,+
22 ndipu mzimu wakupaturika wo wawonekanga nge nkhunda unguza paku iyu kweniso kuchanya kungutuwa mazu ngakuti: “Yiwi ndiwi Mwana wangu, mweniyo nditanja; utindikondwesa.”+
