1 W axay ahayd sannaddii shan iyo tobnaad oo Tiberiyas Kaysar boqranaa, markii Bontiyos Bilaatos xukumi jiray Yahuudiya, oo Herodos taliye u ahaa Galili, walaalkiis Filibosna taliye u ahaa Ituraya iyo dalkii Tarakhoonitis, oo Lusaniyas taliye u ahaa Abilene,

¶ Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,

2 o o Annas iyo Kayafas wadaaddadii sare ahaan jireen, markaasaa ereygii Ilaah cidlada ugu yimid Yooxanaa ina Sakariyas.

Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came upon John the son of Zachariah in the wilderness.

3 W uxuu yimid Webi Urdun hareerihiis oo dhan isagoo dadka ku wacdiyeya baabtiiskii toobadda dembidhaafka aawadiis,

And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

4 s iday ugu qoran tahay kitaabkii hadallada Nebi Isayos, Waa codka kan cidlada kaga qaylinaya, Jidka Rabbiga hagaajiya, Waddooyinkiisa toosiya.

as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.

5 D ooxo walba waa la buuxin doonaa, Qar iyo buur walbana waa la gaabin doonaa, Wixii qalloocanna waa la toosin doonaa, Jidadka xunxunna waa la simi doonaa,

Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;

6 U unka oo dhammuna badbaadinta Ilaah ayay arki doonaan.

and all flesh shall see the saving health of God.

7 H addaba wuxuu ku yidhi dadkii badnaa oo u soo baxay inuu baabtiiso iyaga, Dhal jilbisay, yaa idiinka digay inaad ka carartaan cadhada imanaysa?

Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who taught you to flee from the wrath to come?

8 H addaba midho toobad istaahila soo bixiya, hana bilaabina inaad isku tidhaahdaan, Waxaannu leennahay Ibraahim oo aabbe noo ah. Waayo, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Ilaah waa karaa inuu dhagaxyadan carruur uga kiciyo Ibraahim.

Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

9 H addeer weliba faaska waxaa la dhigay geedaha guntooda. Sidaa darteed geed walba oo aan midho wanaagsan soo bixin waa la gooyaa oo dabka lagu tuuraa.

And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees; every tree therefore which does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire.

10 M arkaasaa dadkii badnaa weyddiiyeen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Haddaba maxaannu samaynaa?

And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

11 K olkaasuu u jawaabay oo iyagii ku yidhi, Kii laba khamiis qabaa, ha siiyo kii aan waxba qabin; kii cunto qabaana, sidaas oo kale ha yeelo.

He answered and said unto them, He that has two coats, let him impart to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise.

12 M arkaasaa waxaa u yimid cashuurqaadayaal in la baabtiiso, waxayna ku yidhaahdeen, Macallimow, annaguna maxaannu samaynaa?

Then the publicans also came to be baptized and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?

13 I saguna wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaa laydiin amray wax ka badan ha qaadanina.

And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.

14 M arkaasaa askarna weyddiisay oo ku tidhi, Annaguna maxaannu samaynaa? Wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Ninna ha dulmina, oo ninna ha masabidina; mushahaaradiinnana raalli ku ahaada.

And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Oppress no one, neither accuse anyone falsely; and be content with your wages.

15 I ntii dadku filanayeen oo kulligoodna qalbiyadooda kaga fikirayeen Yooxanaa inuu yahay Masiixii iyo in kale,

¶ And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not,

16 a yaa Yooxanaa kulligood u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Anigu waxaan idinku baabtiisaa biyo, laakiin waxaa imanaya ku iga itaal weyn, kan aanan istaahilin inaan yeelmihii kabihiisa furo. Isagu wuxuu idinku baabtiisi doonaa Ruuxa Quduuska ah iyo dab.

John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you in water, but one mightier than I comes, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose; he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire;

17 M asaftiisu gacantiisay ku jirtaa inuu goobtiisa wax lagu tumo aad u safeeyo oo sarreenkana maqsinkiisa ku soo ururiyo, laakiin buunshaha ayuu dab aan demeyn ku gubi doonaa.

whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his threshing floor and will gather the wheat into his storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

18 D igniin badan oo kale ayuu dadka ku wacdiyey.

And exhorting many other things he announced the gospel unto the people.

19 L aakiin kolkuu taliye Herodos u canaantay walaalkiis Filibos naagtiisii Herodiya aawadeed, iyo waxyaalaha xunxun oo Herodos sameeyey oo dhan aawadood,

Then Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife and for all the evils which Herod had done,

20 a yaa Herodos waxan oo dhan weliba ku daray inuu Yooxanaa ku xidho xabsigii. Ciise Waa La Baabtiisay

added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.

21 M arkii dadkii oo dhan la baabtiisay, waxaa dhacay in Ciisena la baabtiisay, oo intuu tukanayay ayaa samadu furantay,

¶ Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass that, Jesus also being baptized and praying, the heaven was opened,

22 o o Ruuxa Quduuska ah ayaa dushiisa ku soo degay isagoo muuqasho jidh leh oo qoolley u eg, waxaana samada ka yimid cod leh, Adigu waxaad tahay Wiilkayga aan jeclahay; ee waan kugu faraxsanahay. Abtirsiinta Ciise

and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee is my delight.

23 O o Ciise markuu bilaabay inuu wax baro, wuxuu ahaa qiyaas soddon jir, isagoo ahaa (sida loo moodayay) ina Yuusuf, kan ahaa ina Heli,
