They confessed the bad things they had done and John baptized them in the Jordan	Nao maziungama dambi zao na Johana akiabat'iza kahi za wo muho wa Jorodani

I baptize you with water to show that you have changed your hearts and lives But there is someone coming later who is able to do more than I can I am not good enough to be the slave who takes off his sandals He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire	Mino ninamubat'iza kwa madzi kamwe kunyesa kukala mudzathubu dambi zenu ela ye andiyekudza nyuma zangu ni mubomu kukira mimi Kwandza mosi sifika hatha mut'u wa kumuvula virahuzhe Iye andamubat'iza kwa Roho Mweri na kwa moho

Jesus answered The Scriptures also say You must not test the Lord your God	Jesu akimudzigidzya akimwamba Zhaorwa kaheri kukala Usimujeze Bwana Mulunguo bule
Then the devil led Jesus to the top of a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and all the wonderful things in them	K'uzhona anambola haho Shethani akimuhala Jesu achenda naye hatha dzulu za murima mure zhomu Akimwanyesa ts'i zosi za urumwengu na ngumaze
The devil said If you will bow down and worship me I will give you all these things	Akimwamba Ukinizamira ukinivoya vivi zhosi uzhonazho nindakup'a
Jesus said to him Get away from me Satan The Scriptures say	K'ona Jesu akimudzigidzya akimwamba Hauke Shethani kwani zhaorwa kukala Muvoye Bwana Mulunguo na umuhumikire iye h'akeye

From that time Jesus began to tell people his message Change your hearts and lives because Gods kingdom is now very near	Bai kula haho Jesu akikwatya kuhubiri akiamba Thubuni mana uthawali wa mulunguni udzafika hehi

Simon and Andrew immediately left their nets and followed him	Marihosikira vizho thu Simoni na Anderea makigwaga kare zho vimia zhao makimuthuwa

A person should obey every command in the law even one that does not seem important Whoever refuses to obey any command and teaches others not to obey it will be the least important in Gods kingdom But whoever obeys the law and teaches others to obey it will be great in Gods kingdom	Na mut'u yoyosi andiyekoseza yo Sheria th'ith'e ya zosi na aafundishe andziye mahende dzazho arizhohenda iye andakala mut'u muthithe sana kahi za uthawali wa mulunguni Ela mut'u andiyethuwa na kuzigwira sheria zosi na kuafundisha andziye ili nao mazithuwe na kuzigwira andakala mut'u mubomu sana kahi za uthawali wa mulunguni

So what if you are offering your gift at the altar and remember that someone has something against you	Kwa vizho ukikala mwenye udzakwendamboza sadaka dzulu za cho kijaja cha kulazhira sadaka kiricho kahi za ro Hekalu na ukumbukire kukala wamuhendera vii mwandziyo
Leave your gift there and go make peace with that person Then come and offer your gift	iriche haho kijajani yo sadaka wende ukapatane na iye mwandziyo kwandza ndo udze uyamboze
