And he came into all the region round about the Jordan preaching the baptism of repentance unto the remissions of sins,
4 Na wa ba na nha nvunvu u tre Anabi Ishaya ndi llan di ri si yo ni miji, mlan koh Bachi tie dun koh ma hi yreyre.
as has been written in the book of Isaiah the prophet, saying; The voice of one roaring in the wilderness; Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight His paths.
5 Ko san ngbulu ba shu, u ngbulu ba ba gble tita ba kma ti fime, u nkoh bi tie memme ba kma bi ba ba shu, ni ngbulu baba tita ba ba yra ba nda kma me nkoh ni bubu biwa be gblegble me'a.

And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Sai Yohana a hla ni gbugbu ndji wa ba si ye dun sukpa bawu'a. Yohana yo ba ndi “biyi mri iwan, anha hla ni yiwu dun yi tsutsu ni nfu wa ani ye ni yiwu'a?”
Then he said unto the multitudes coming out to be baptized by him; O generations of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Nitu kii, kma tie klo kunkro wa ndi ba bre dun ba wru lla tre hle bawu dana ta tre ni kpamba ndi ki he ni Ibrahim wa a iti mbu, mi hla niwu Irji hei ni gbengble wa ani zu titi biyi kma tie mri ni Ibrahim rji ni tita bi yi.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say among yourselves; We have Abraham our father.
9 Ko zizan ba mlan gla tie nitu nja bi ba kunkro. U wawu kunkro bi wandi bana klo bi na ba gen ba nda vu ba sru ni lu.”
But truly the ax is laid to the root of the trees; Therefore every tree not producing good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 U gbugbu ndji baki mye'u ndi, “Zizan ki tie ni he?”
And the multitudes asked him, saying; What then shall we do?
11 A kasa nda tre “Indji wandi a he ni nklon ha, ka ban rhi ni ndji wandi ana he ni rhi na, u ndji wa ahe ni lah ka tie naki ngame.
And responding he says to them, Let the one having two coats, give to him having none, and let the one having food do likewise.
12 Bi kpa ban ba ye du ba sukpa ni bawu, nda tre, “Ndji-u-tsro, ki tie ni he?”
And the publicans came also to be baptized, and said to him; Teacher, what shall we do!
13 A hla ni bawu ndi, “Nata kpa inklen zan kpe wandi ba tre dun yi kpa na.”
And he said to them, Exact no more than that which has been appointed unto you.
14 Sojoji bari ngame ba mye, ndi, “U kita na? Ki tie ni he?” A bla hla ni bawu, “Na kpa nkleh niwo njo ni gbengble na, ndi na tie ce ti ndrjo na. Nji kpe-andi bi u mbi dun mla yi.”
And the soldiers were asking him saying; And what shall we do? And he said to them; Oppress no one, neither defraud; and be content with your wages.
15 Zizan wa ba ndji ba si ya nkoh ye u Kristi'a, wawu mba ba si rhimre ni suron mba nitu Yohana, ko wawu mba hi Kristi'a.
And the people waiting and all reasoning in their hearts concerning John, lest he might be the Christ.

John responded to all, saying; I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh One more powerful than I, the latchet of His sandals I am not worthy to loose; He will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire.
17 Ahei ni mumu ni wo ma wandi ani tie ndu niwu nda zen memme bie nda ka waa bi zi nimi iwron. U ani gon biwa ba tie meme'a ni lu wa ana y'bi na.”
Whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purify His threshing-floor, and gather the wheat into His garner, and will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

Then indeed exhorting them as to many other things he continued to preach the gospel to the people.

And it came to pass while all the people were being baptized, and Jesus having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 wa toh Ruhu Tsatsar ka grji ye son nitu ma na ngyu, wa ka wo lan Irji ni shu, “Iwu yi wu vren mu wandi isuron mu a kpa wu. Suron mu ku si ni wu.”
and the Holy Spirit in bodily appearance like a dove descended on Him; and there was a voice from heaven, saying; Thou art my beloved Son, I am delighted in Thee.
