Matthew 3
1 In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea
U ganiya uginome Yahaya unu zorsa anu zorsa anu ma'e, mazintize ani ja nu Yahudiya.
2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
Innu gusa, “Hemni, barki uvenke a sesere wa aye mamu.
3 This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.’”
Unu age mani Ishaya unu kurzo utize ma buni “Nimyiran nu tisa anyimo ani ja nigusa, barkana tume.
4 John wore a garment of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
Yahaya maturi inturunga innu subu uronkomi, matiri uzu uwa, immumare imme makene nan matu.
5 People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region around the Jordan.
Anu Urshalima nan nu Yahudiya vat, nan ana ma nyanga murabi uraba udang u'urdu wa ezi ahira ame.
6 Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
Mennu zorso uwe uraba u'urdu me, wen nubo imum izonzen iwe.
7 But when John saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his place of baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
Sa Yahaya ma ira ma Farisiyawa wan ma Sadukiyawa gwardan, wa'e zi barki a zorso we, ma gunwe “she” iwa! a verri mubuka shi isumi iruba iburu uwui ugino su eze.
8 Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance.
Wu zani katuma sa kadi bezi u him ukaba tize tasere.
9 And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
Kati iziki amuruba mushi agi Ibrahim mani a co ushi. barki anime inboshi. Asere abari abari Ibrahim a hana in na po ageme.
10 The axe lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
A' atara anyo abitem anitini nu titti. barki anime vat ulitti me sa daki wa nya ahana ariri ba, akoriko uni areki ura.
11 I baptize you with water for repentance, but after me will come One more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
Mi, inmei mani inzinu zorsuzo ushi, ubuka uhim ushi, a' aname unu aye adumo am matakum innu gwardang, desa bi nyimo bukwatak umeme indake invon kiba. memani madi zorso in bibe lau won ura.
12 His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Utanika ura atar tume, madi visi ahira abi suya-suya lau, ma humuko bi home mawu ukere ume. ma mindin me, ma uni ura uzatu biso ma punsi.
13 At that time Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.
Uganiya ugino uni Yesu ma e usuro manyanga mu Galili, maha uraba urdu ahira Yahaya, barki azorome.
14 But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?”
Yahaya ma nyari ukarki ume, magu “misan in nyari hu uzorom, u'e ahira am?”
15 “Let it be so now,” Jesus replied. “It is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness in this way.” Then John permitted Him.
Ba Yesu makabirka me magu, “aca icuku anime a name, barki anime animya wuna to mincikina kadure” a' anime Yahaya ma hemme.
16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on Him.
Sa' azoro Yesu, ahirame ma suri a nyimo me I, Asesere awata, ma iri bibe bilau ba were both kasi bi hurbe. butu ani ce nume.
17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!”
Akin na no miram azesere nigusa, “unite Mani vana um sa mahem inme. dewan in zin Inna puru arum taking.”
