Dijo tsa gagwe ke tsie le tswina ya dinotshe. O rera ka eng? O raya batho a re: “Ikwatlhayeng, ka gonne Bogosi jwa magodimo bo atametse.”—Mathaio 3:2.
Batho ba itumelela go utlwa molaetsa wa ga Johane. Bontsi jwa bone ba a lemoga gore ba tlhoka go ikwatlhaya mme ba tlogele mekgwa ya bone e e sa siamang. Batho ba ba tlang kwa go ene ke ba “Jerusalema le ba Judea yotlhe le ba kgaolo yotlhe e e dikologileng Joredane.” (Mathaio 3:5) Bontsi jwa batho ba ba tlang kwa go Johane ba a ikwatlhaya. O ba kolobetsa mo nokeng ya Joredane. Goreng?
O kolobetsa batho e le sesupo sa gore ba ikwatlhaetse go bo ba tlodile kgolagano ya Molao wa Modimo. (Ditiro 19:4) Le fa go ntse jalo, ga se batho botlhe ba ba tshwanelegang go kolobediwa. Fa baeteledipele bangwe ba bodumedi, Bafarasai le Basadukae ba tla kwa go Johane, Johane o ba raya a re ke “bana ba dinoga tse di botlhole.” O ba raya a re: “Ungwang maungo a a bontshang gore lo a ikwatlhaya.

Foo setlhare sengwe le sengwe se se sa ungweng maungo a a molemo se tshwanetse go remiwa se bo se latlhelwa mo molelong.”—Mathaio 3:7-10.
E re ka Johane a kgatlha batho ba le bantsi, a rera molaetsa o o maatla e bile a kolobetsa batho ba le bantsi, baperesiti le Balefi ba romelwa kwa go ene gore ba mmotse ba re: “O mang?”
Johane a re: “Ga ke Keresete.”
Ba mmotsa ba re: “Jaanong, o mang? A o Elija?”
O ba raya a re: “Ga ke Elija.”
Mme ba mmotsa ba re: “A o Moporofeti?” Ba bua ka Moporofeti yo mogolo yo Moshe a neng a re o tla tla.—Duteronome 18:15, 18.
Johane o ba araba a re: “Nnyaa!”
Ba tswelela ba mmotsa ba re: “O mang? Re bolelele gore re tle re ye go bolelela ba ba re romileng. Tota wa re o mang?” Johane o ba raya a re: “Ke nna lentswe la mongwe yo o goang a le kwa nageng a re, ‘Tlhamalatsang tsela ya ga Jehofa,’ fela jaaka moporofeti Isaia a buile.”—Johane 1:19-23.
Ka jalo, ba mmotsa ba re: “Jaanong ke ka ntlha yang fa o kolobetsa fa e le gore ga o Keresete kgotsa Elija kgotsa Moporofeti?” Johane o ba raya a re: “Ke kolobetsa mo metsing. Go na le mongwe mo gare ga lona yo lo sa mo itseng, yo o tlang kwa morago ga me.”—Johane 1:25-27.
Johane o dumela gore tiro ya gagwe ke go thusa batho go nna le maikutlo a a siameng gore ba kgone go amogela Mesia, yo e tla nnang Kgosi. Fa Johane a bua ka Jesu a re: “Yo o tlang kwa morago ga me o nonofile go mpheta, yo ke sa tshwanelegeng go mo rola ditlhako.” (Mathaio 3:11) Gape a re: “Yo o tlang kwa morago ga me o tla nna mogolo go mpheta, ka gonne o ne a nna gone pele ga me.”—Johane 1:15.
Mathaio 3:2) O bontsha batho gore bodiredi jwa ga Jesu Keresete, yo Jehofa a mo tlhomileng go nna Kgosi, bo tloga bo simologa.
Ka jalo, molaetsa wa ga Johane o o reng: “Ikwatlhayeng, ka gonne Bogosi jwa magodimo bo atametse,” o a tshwanela. (
