¹ Namazuva iwayo Johani Mubhabhatidzi akauya achiparidza murenje reJudhiya, achiti,

² “Tendeukai, nokuti ushe hwokudenga hwaswedera pedyo.”

³ Nokuti uyu ndiye wakarehwa nomuporofita Isaya, achiti, “Izwi raanodana murenje: ‘Gadzirai nzira yaIshe, Ruramisai migwagwa yake.’ ”

⁴ Iye Johani aiva nenguo yamakushe engamera, nebhanhire reganda pachiuno chake; zvokudya zvake zvaiva mhashu nouchi hwemusango

⁵ Zvino veJerusaremu rose neJudhiya nenyika yose yakapoteredza Jodhani vakabudira kwaari,

⁶ vakabhabhatidzwa naye murwizi Jodhani vachireurura zvivi zvavo.

⁷ Asi akati achiona vazhinji vaVaFarisi navaSadhusi vachiuya kuzobhabhatidzwa, akati kwavari, “Vana venyoka, ndianiko akakunyeverai kuti mutize kutsamwa kunouya?

⁸ Naizvozvo berekai zvibereko zvakafanira kutendeuka.

⁹ Musafunga kutaura mumwoyo menyu, muchiti, ‘Abhurahamu ndibaba vedu;’ nokuti ndinoti kwamuri, ‘Mwari angamutsira Abhurahamu vana pamabwe awa.’

¹⁰ Zvino sanhu ratoiswa pamudzi wemiti; saka muti mumwe nomumwe usingabereki michero yakanaka, unotemwa, ukakandirwa mumoto.

¹¹ Ini ndinokubhabhatidzai nemvura, kuti mutendeuke; asi anouya shure kwangu, anesimba, kupfuureni, wandisakafanira kutakura shangu dzake; iye achakubhabhatidzai naMweya Mutsvene nomoto.

¹² Rusero rwake ruri muruoko rwake; achanatsa buriro rake kwazvo; achaunganidzira koroni mudura, asi hundi achaipisa mumoto usingadzimwi.”

Kubhabhatidzwa kwaJesu

¹³ Zvino Jesu akabva Gareriya, akasvika kuna Jodhani kuzobhabhatidzwa naJohani.

¹⁴ Asi Johani akaedza kumudzivisa, akati, “Ndini ndinofanira kubhabhatidzwa nemi, ko mouya kwandiri sei?”

¹⁵ Asi Jesu akapindura akati, “Chirega hako zvino, nokuti saizvozvo zvakafanira kuti tizadzise kururama kwose.” Johani ndokubva atenda hake.

¹⁶ Jesu, akati abhabhatidzwa, pakarepo akabuda mumvura; zvino, tarira, denga rakamuzarukira, akaona Mweya waMwari achiburuka senjiva, akauya pamusoro pake.

¹⁷ Zvino tarira, izwi rakabva kudenga, richiti, “Uyu ndiye Mwanakomana wangu anodikanwa, ndinofadzwa naye!”
