Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galil, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Annas le Caiaphas chu thempu chungnung anahilhone. Hiche phatlai hin Pathen a konin gamthip lah'a um, Zechariah chapa John hengah thu ahung lhungin ahi.
in the cohanim gedolim of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness.
3 Chuin John chu amun amun'ah Jordan vadung pang langto gel'ah achen, mihon alungheiyu vetsahna a baptize achan nadiuvin thu ahil lhang len chule Pathen henga ngaidam chan nadia akilehei diuvin aseiye.
He came into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming the immersion of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
4 Isaiah chun John chungchang thu anaseiyin hitin ati, “Ama hi gamthip'a khosam aw ahi, Pakai hungna ding alampi semtoh un! Ama dingin lampi sutheng un,
As it is written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord. Make his roads straight.
5 Phaicham lah kidip ding, chule molboh ho le thinglhang lah kinot cham ding akon ho kisujang ding, chule mun phol lah ho kisunam ding,
Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be made low, and the crooked will be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.
6 Chuteng leh mijousen amuding, huhhingna Pathen'a kon hung kisol chu,” ati.
And all humanity will see the salvation of God.'"
7 Mihonpi chu John henga baptize chang dinga ahung uchun, aman hitin aseiye, “Nangho gulse son ho! Koiham Pathen lunghan na hunglhung dinga kon jamdoh dinga nagihsal uvah?
He said therefore to the crowds who went out to be immersed by him, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Chonset'a kon lung naheiyule Pathen lam a nakile'u chu nahin dan uva konin tahlang'un. Nanghon khat le khat komah, ‘Bitna kanei nauve, ajehchu Abraham son kahiuve’ tin moh sei hih un. Hichu imacha ahipoi, ajehchu kaseipeh nahiuve, Pathen in hiche song hoa kona jong Abraham son le pah asemdoh thei ahi.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say among yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father;' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
9 Tu jenga jong Pathen thutanna heicha gottupsa, thingphung ajungho tutan dinga phasadem'a um ahitai. Henge, thingphung aga phalou jouse chu phuhlhuh'a uma meilah'a selut hiding ahi.” ati.
Even now the axe also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire."
10 Mihonpi chun adong'un, “Ipi kabol diu hitam?” atiuve.
The crowds asked him, "What then must we do?"
11 John in adonbut in, “Sangkhol ni neiyin, khat chu avaicha ho peuvin. An neh ding neiyin agilkel te jong hoppeh in,” ati.
He answered them, "He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise."
12 Lepthol'a natong kaidong ho jong baptize chang din ahung un chule adong'un, “Houhil, ipi kaboldiu hitam?” atiuve.
Tax collectors also came to be immersed, and they said to him, "Teacher, what must we do?"
13 Aman adonbut in, “Gamsung kivaipohna in angeh kalval in kai dong hih'un,” atipeh'e.
He said to them, "Collect no more than that which is appointed to you."
14 “Ipi kabol diu hitam” tin sepai phabep khat in jong ahung dongun ahi. John in adonbut in, “Alamlouvin sum kilah hih'un ahiloule adihlouvin mi hehset bol hih'un, chule na losan'a chun lung lhaiyun,” ati.
Soldiers also asked him, saying, "What about us? What must we do?" He said to them, "Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages."
15 Mijousen Messiah chu hungvah dinga aginchat cheh u anahin, chule John chu Messiah chu hingap hitam ti ahetnom ten'un ahi.
As the people were in expectation, and all were wondering in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Messiah,
16 John in athudoh uchu adonbut in hitin aseiye: “Keiman nangho twiya baptize kachansah nahiuvin, hinlah keima sanga lenjo khat ahunge–nasatah a lenjo ahidan chu keima asoh hiding le akengchot khao sutlham dingin jong kalhing joupon ahi. Amachun nangho Lhagao Theng le meiya baptize nachan sah ding'u ahi.
John answered them all, "I indeed immerse you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will immerse you with the Ruach ha-Kodesh and with fire,
17 Ama phol jap-ngimna mangcha a changsi le atah lhehkhen dinga phasadem'a um ahitai. Chuteng aman changchilna phol asuhthenga changtah chengse chu achangsal'a asun'a asi ho vang chu mit theilou meilhum sunga aselut ding ahi,” ati.
whose winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
18 John chun kipana thupha miho koma aseiphong na achun chutobang gihsalna kamcheng jong amangchan ahi.
Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,
19 John in jong lhangphong tah in Galilee gam vaihompa, Herod Antipas chu, Herodius, asopipa jinu, akichenpi jeh le athilse bol adang tamtah jeh chun demna aneiyin ahi.
but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
20 Hijeh chun Herod in John chu songkul'ah akhum'in, achonsetna dangtoh hiche hi akibelap tan ahi.
added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Nikhat mihonpi chu baptize achan laiyun, Yeshua amatah jong baptize achangin ahi. Ama atao leh vanho ahung kihongin,
Now it happened, when all the people were immersed, Yeshua also had been immersed, and was praying. The sky was opened,
22 chule Lhagao Theng, tahsa lim pu'in van vakhu bangin ahung kumsuh in achunga chun achu'e. Van'a kon chun aw khat'in hitin ahinseiye, “Nangma kangailut tah kachapa nahi, chule kipana lentah neihin pohpeh'e,” ati.
and the Ruach ha-Kodesh descended in a bodily form as a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying "You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased."
