Yooxanaa Baabtiisaha Iyo Farriintii Uu Waday(A)

Waxay 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, oo Annas iyo Kayafas wadaaddadii sare ahaan jireen, markaasaa ereygii Ilaah cidlada ugu yimid Yooxanaa ina Sakariyas. Wuxuu yimid Webi Urdun hareerihiis oo dhan isagoo dadka ku wacdiyeya baabtiiskii toobadda dembidhaafka aawadiis, siday ugu qoran tahay kitaabkii hadallada Nebi Isayos,

Waa codka kan cidlada kaga qaylinaya,
Jidka Rabbiga hagaajiya,
Waddooyinkiisa toosiya.
Dooxo 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,
Uunka oo dhammuna badbaadinta Ilaah ayay arki doonaan.

Haddaba wuxuu ku yidhi dadkii badnaa oo u soo baxay inuu baabtiiso iyaga, Dhal jilbisay, yaa idiinka digay inaad ka carartaan cadhada imanaysa? Haddaba 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. Haddeer weliba faaska waxaa la dhigay geedaha guntooda. Sidaa darteed geed walba oo aan midho wanaagsan soo bixin waa la gooyaa oo dabka lagu tuuraa. 10 Markaasaa dadkii badnaa weyddiiyeen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Haddaba maxaannu samaynaa? 11 Kolkaasuu u jawaabay oo iyagii ku yidhi, Kii laba khamiis qabaa, ha siiyo kii aan waxba qabin; kii cunto qabaana, sidaas oo kale ha yeelo. 12 Markaasaa waxaa u yimid cashuurqaadayaal in la baabtiiso, waxayna ku yidhaahdeen, Macallimow, annaguna maxaannu samaynaa? 13 Isaguna wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaa laydiin amray wax ka badan ha qaadanina. 14 Markaasaa askarna weyddiisay oo ku tidhi, Annaguna maxaannu samaynaa? Wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Ninna ha dulmina, oo ninna ha masabidina; mushahaaradiinnana raalli ku ahaada.

15 Intii dadku filanayeen oo kulligoodna qalbiyadooda kaga fikirayeen Yooxanaa inuu yahay Masiixii iyo in kale, 16 ayaa 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. 17 Masaftiisu 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.

18 Digniin badan oo kale ayuu dadka ku wacdiyey. 19 Laakiin kolkuu taliye Herodos u canaantay walaalkiis Filibos naagtiisii Herodiya aawadeed, iyo waxyaalaha xunxun oo Herodos sameeyey oo dhan aawadood, 20 ayaa Herodos waxan oo dhan weliba ku daray inuu Yooxanaa ku xidho xabsigii.

Ciise Waa La Baabtiisay(B)

21 Markii dadkii oo dhan la baabtiisay, waxaa dhacay in Ciisena la baabtiisay, oo intuu tukanayay ayaa samadu furantay, 22 oo 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(C)

23 Oo Ciise markuu bilaabay inuu wax baro, wuxuu ahaa qiyaas soddon jir, isagoo ahaa (sida loo moodayay) ina Yuusuf, kan ahaa ina Heli, 24 kan ahaa ina Matad, kan ahaa ina Laawi, kan ahaa ina Malki, kan ahaa ina Yanna, 25 kan ahaa ina Yuusuf, kan ahaa ina Matatiyas, kan ahaa ina Caamoos, kan ahaa ina Na'uum, kan ahaa ina Esli, kan ahaa ina Naggay, 26 kan ahaa ina Ma'ad, kan ahaa ina Matatiyas, kan ahaa ina Semey, kan ahaa ina Yuusuf, kan ahaa ina Yuuda, 27 kan ahaa ina Yo'anna, kan ahaa ina Reesa, kan ahaa ina Serubaabel, kan ahaa ina Salaatii'eel, kan ahaa ina Neeri, 28 kan ahaa ina Malki, kan ahaa ina Addi, kan ahaa ina Koosam, kan ahaa ina Elmoodam, kan ahaa ina Ceer, 29 kan ahaa ina Yooses, kan ahaa ina Eliiceser, kan ahaa ina Yoorim, kan ahaa ina Matad, kan ahaa ina Laawi, 30 kan ahaa ina Simecoon, kan ahaa ina Yuuda, kan ahaa ina Yuusuf, kan ahaa ina Yoonam, kan ahaa ina Eliyaqiim, 31 kan ahaa ina Mele'as, kan ahaa ina Menna, kan ahaa ina Matata, kan ahaa ina Naataan, kan ahaa ina Daa'uud, 32 kan ahaa ina Yesay, kan ahaa ina Coobeed, kan ahaa ina Bocas, kan ahaa ina Salmoon, kan ahaa ina Naasoon, 33 kan ahaa ina Caminadaab, kan ahaa ina Araam, kan ahaa ina Esroom, kan ahaa ina Feres, kan ahaa ina Yahuudah, 34 kan ahaa ina Yacquub, kan ahaa ina Isxaaq, kan ahaa ina Ibraahim, kan ahaa ina Tara, kan ahaa ina Naakoor, 35 kan ahaa ina Seruukh, kan ahaa ina Ragaw, kan ahaa ina Faleg, kan ahaa ina Xeber, kan ahaa ina Salah, 36 kan ahaa ina Qaynaan, kan ahaa ina Arfaksad, kan ahaa ina Sheem, kan ahaa ina Nuux, kan ahaa ina Lameg, 37 kan ahaa ina Metushelax, kan ahaa ina Enoog, kan ahaa ina Yaared, kan ahaa ina Mahalaleel, kan ahaa ina Qaynaan, 38 kan ahaa ina Enoos, kan ahaa ina Seed, kan ahaa ina Aadan, kan ahaa ina Ilaah.

John the Baptist Prepares the Way(A)(B)

In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar—when Pontius Pilate(C) was governor of Judea, Herod(D) tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and Traconitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene— during the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas,(E) the word of God came to John(F) son of Zechariah(G) in the wilderness. He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.(H) As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet:

“A voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
    make straight paths for him.
Every valley shall be filled in,
    every mountain and hill made low.
The crooked roads shall become straight,
    the rough ways smooth.
And all people will see God’s salvation.’”[a](I)

John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers!(J) Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?(K) Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’(L) For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”(M)

10 “What should we do then?”(N) the crowd asked.

11 John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.”(O)

12 Even tax collectors came to be baptized.(P) “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”

13 “Don’t collect any more than you are required to,”(Q) he told them.

14 Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?”

He replied, “Don’t extort money and don’t accuse people falsely(R)—be content with your pay.”

15 The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John(S) might possibly be the Messiah.(T) 16 John answered them all, “I baptize you with[b] water.(U) But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with[c] the Holy Spirit and fire.(V) 17 His winnowing fork(W) is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”(X) 18 And with many other words John exhorted the people and proclaimed the good news to them.

19 But when John rebuked Herod(Y) the tetrarch because of his marriage to Herodias, his brother’s wife, and all the other evil things he had done, 20 Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.(Z)

The Baptism and Genealogy of Jesus(AA)(AB)

21 When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying,(AC) heaven was opened 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him(AD) in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son,(AE) whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”(AF)
