“Nasi sigijimi sami,
lengisitfumela kutsi
sikuhambele embili
sitekubholela indlela.
3 “Livi lalomemeta ehlane litsi:
“ ‘Lungisani indlela yeNkhosi,
nente imikhondvo yayo icondze.’ ”
4Nangempela kwavela Johane uMbhabhatisi ehlane ashumayela bantfu atsi: “Phendvukani nibhajatiswe, Nkulunkulu utanitsetselela tono tenu.” 5Bonkhe bantfu besifundza saseJudiya nebaseJerusalema babephuma bayewulalela Johane. Babetsi bangefika ababhabhatise emfuleni iJordane, bavume tono tabo.
6 Johane abembatsa ingubo leyayentiwe ngeboya belikamela atibophe ngelibhande lesikhumba elukhalweni, abedla tintsetse neluju lwetinyosi tesiganga. 7 Abeshumayela atsi: “Kukhona lota emvakwami, lonemandla kakhulu kunami. Mine angikafaneli nekutsi ngigobondzele ngitfukulule imichilo yeticatfulo takhe. 8 Mine benginibhabhatisa ngemanti, kepha yena utanibhabhatisa ngaMoya Longcwele.”

25Jesu walekhuta watsi: “Thula! Phuma kuye!”
26Lelidimoni lamklinklitisa lomuntfu, lakhala limemeta laphuma kuye. 27Bonkhe bantfu bamangala betfuka, kangangoba badzimate babutana bodvwana batsi: “Seyini-ke le? Yimfundziso lensha lenemandla. Kantsi nemadimoni uyawekhuta amlalele!”
