3 Weza kuwo wonke ummandla waseYordan, evakalisa ubhaptizo lwenguquko ukuze kuxolelwe izono;
4 njengoko kubhaliweyo encwadini yamazwi kaIsaya umprofeti, esithi,Izwi lodandulukayo entlango, lisithi,Yilungiseni indlela yeNkosi,Wutyenenezeni umendo wayo.
5 Yonke imifula iya kudityelelwa,Nazo zonke iintaba neenduli ziya kuthotywa,Neendawo ezigoso ziya kuthi tye,Nezibugqagala ziya kuba ziindlela ezigudileyo;
6 Bonke abantu baya kulubona usindiso lukaThixo.(UIsaya 40:3-5)
7 Wayesithi ngoko kuzo izihlwele ezaziphuma zisiza kubhaptizwa nguye, Nzalandini yamarhamba, ngubani na owanibonisayo, ukuba niyibaleke ingqumbo ezayo?
8 Velisani ngoko iziqhamo eziyifaneleyo inguquko; ize ningaqali nithi ngaphakathi kwenu, Thina sinobawo uAbraham: kuba ndithi kuni, Unako uThixo kuwo la matye ukumvelisela abantwana uAbraham.
9 Kananjalo izembe selibekiwe engcanjini yemithi; ngoko umthi wonke ongavelisi siqhamo sihle, uyagawulwa, uphoswe emlilweni.
