Matthew 3
1 In those days, John the Baptizer came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,
Leleꞌ Yesus naꞌamoko boe ma, Yohanis Mana Saraniꞌ a mulai nanori atahori ra sia mamanaꞌ naꞌadooꞌ no kamboꞌ, sia profinsi Yudea.
2 “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”
Ana nafadꞌe nae, “Toronoo susue ngga ra e! Ama musi mitaa ma lao hela basa sala-kilu mara, fo baliꞌ misiꞌ Lamatualain leo. Te aleꞌ ia basa atahori bisa masoꞌ dadꞌi Lamatualain atahorin.”
3 For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, make the way of the Lord ready! Make his paths straight!”
Dalahulun Lamatualain mana ola-olan esa, naran Yesaya sura soꞌal Yohanis ena nae, “Dei fo hambu atahori nameli sia mamana mana naꞌadoo no kamboꞌ nae, ‘Basa atahori rahehere tao ralole dalaꞌ, fo soru Lamatualain neneman! Tao mitetu dalaꞌ fee neu E!”
4 Now John himself wore clothing made of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
Yohanis ia dala masodꞌan onaꞌ Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-ola dalahulu nara. Eni bua-baun, tao mia banda onta fulun. Bobꞌorin, tao mia banda rouꞌ a. Ma nanaa-nininun, lamat no oni lasi oeꞌ.
5 Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him.
Leleꞌ naa atahori hetar rema rae randaa ro Yohanis. Ara rema mia Yerusalem, ma mia basa profinsi Yudea isin. Ara o rema mia kambo-kamboꞌ fo badeka ro loe Yarden.
6 They were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
Ara buka rala nara ma rataa basa sala-kilu nara, basa ma Yohanis sarani se mia loe Yarden.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Leleꞌ naa, atahori mia partei Farisi ma partei agama Saduki ra o rema risiꞌ mamanaꞌ fo Yohanis saraniꞌ a. Te leleꞌ ana nita se ma, ana bua se nae, “heh! Ama onaꞌ mengge mana peko-lelekoꞌ! Dei fo Lamatualain huku-dꞌoki nggi huu tatao-nonoꞌi deꞌulaka mara. Wae! Afiꞌ duꞌa mae hei bisa mela mia Lamatuaꞌ huku-dꞌokin
8 Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance!
De malole lenaꞌ baliꞌ misiꞌ Lamatualain, ma lao hela basa sala-kilu mara. Basa na, tao dala-dala maloleꞌ ra, onaꞌ hau huuꞌ mana nabꞌoa boa maloleꞌ.
9 Do not think to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father,’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
Afiꞌ duꞌa mae hei hambu masodꞌaꞌ ena huu hei, baꞌi Abraham tititi-nonosin. Mimihere au! Huu Lamatualain bisa tao fatu ra dadꞌi baꞌi Abraham tititi-nonosin.
10 Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.
Besa-bꞌesa e! Te hambu atahori toꞌu taꞌa fo rahehere rae ungga hendi basa hau huuꞌ nda mana rabꞌoa maloleꞌ ra sa. Ungga basa na, Ana nggari hendi se ai rala reu.
11 “I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.
Aleꞌ ia au sarani nggi endiꞌ oe, fo dadꞌi tatandaꞌ oi, hei hiruꞌ misidꞌea hela sala-kilu mara ena. Te dei fo Atahori sa manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ au nae nema. Dadꞌi akaꞌ dedꞌenun o au nda undandaa sa. Dei fo Ana tao nasofe rala mara nendiꞌ Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren. Ana o tao nggi dadꞌi meumareꞌ boe, onaꞌ atahori hotu manggarauꞌ rendiꞌ ai.
12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.”
Huu Ana toꞌu nala lalaꞌo esa isiꞌ sia rala, fo nae tai hendi etoꞌ mia isiꞌ ra. Basa fo Ana oni isiꞌ ra risiꞌ sokaꞌ rala reu, ma Ana nggari hendi etoꞌ ra risiꞌ ai mana mbilaꞌ nda mana basaꞌ sa.
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
Leleꞌ naa, Yesus onda nema mia Galilea nisiꞌ loe Yarden. Ana nema noꞌe Yohanis Sarani Eni,
14 But John would have hindered him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?”
te Yohanis nda nau sa. Ana nareresi nae, “Taꞌo bee fo au musi sarani Lamatuaꞌ? Nda tabalek sa, do? Lamatuaꞌ mana musi sarani au dei. Te au parlu naa!”
15 But Jesus, answering, said to him, “Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed him.
Te Yesus nataa nae, “Nda saa sa boe. Hela fo oras ia, aꞌa sarani Au. No taꞌo naa hita tungga Lamatualain hihii-nanaun.” Rena naꞌo naa ma Yohanis nataa nae, “Siaꞌ a Lamatuaꞌ.” Boe ma ana sarani Yesus.
16 Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water: and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.
Sarani basa ma, Yesus dea nema mia loe a. Aiboiꞌ ma, lalai a sii. Ma Ana nita Lamatualain Dula-dalen onda nema neu E, onaꞌ mbui lunda tee neu E.
17 Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
Boe ma ara rena Lamatualain haran mia lalai a nae, “Eni ia, Au Ana susue ngga. Ana tao namahoꞌo Rala ngga nakandooꞌ a.”
