Matthew 3
1 Now in those days comes John the baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
Vbvrire hoka Jon Baptist Judia gv chukrimooku lo aala japgo raptoku.
2 and saying, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.
Nw minto, “Nonu rimur lokv mvngdin tokuka, ogulvgavbolo Nyidomooku Karv ngv nvchi dooku!”
3 For this is he who has been spoken of through Esaias the prophet, saying, Voice of him that crieth in the wilderness: prepare ye the way of [the] Lord, make straight his paths.
Jon vkvnv nyi ako nyijwk Aijaya gv minam angv, Aijaya minto, “Chukrimooku v nyi go gokdungdo, ‘Ahtu gv lvgabv lamtv nga mvkimvak jilakv; ninyia vngmu dubv lamtv nga sorchi dubv mvtokv!’”
4 And John himself had his garment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and his nourishment was locusts and wild honey.
Jon gv vjiv kemel amw lokv mvnam go; hv apin hukpia go hukto, okv ninyigv dvnam v takamyarup okv tangungula go.
5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the country round the Jordan,
Jerusalem lokv Judia mooku mvnwng lokv okv Jordan svko nvchi gv mooku lokv nyi vdwv ninyi gvlo aanyato.
6 and were baptised by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
Bunu bunugv rimur lokv mvngdin nyatoku okv nw bunua Jordan svko lo baptisma jitoku.
7 But seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, Offspring of vipers, who has forewarned you to flee from the coming wrath?
Vdwlo Jon Parisis okv Sadusis vdwa ninyi gvlo baptisma jikudubv aadu bv kaato kudw, nw bunua minto, “Tabw vdw nonu—yvvla nonua Pwknvyarnv gv mvritririt jikulo nonu aamare vla minv?
8 Produce therefore fruit worthy of repentance.
Nonu rimur lokv lirung pvku vla kaachin dukubv rinam go rito kuka.
9 And do not think to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for [our] father; for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Okv nonuno Abraham nonugv abu v vla Pwknvyarnv gv mvritririt mvji kolo aamare vla mvngma bvka. Ngo nonua mindunv Pwknvyarnv so vlwng vdw sum naala Abraham gv husi bv mvlare!
10 And already the axe is applied to the root of the trees; every tree therefore not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.
Yagwng ngv singnv nga miami laalubv palin dubv dooriado; singnv alvnv apwasi svvmanv dvdv nga palinla okv vmvlo orlwk dunv.
11 I indeed baptise you with water to repentance, but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not fit to bear; he shall baptise you with [the] Holy Spirit and fire;
Nonu mvngdin pvku vla kaatambv ngo nonua isi lokv baptisma jidunv, vbvritola ngoogv kochinglo aarinv angv nonua Darwknv Dow lokv okv vmv lokv nonua baptisma jireku. Nw nga achialvbv kaiyadunv; okv ngo ninyigv lvkiam haka dvbwng yadubvka riyin yakuma.
12 whose winnowing fan [is] in his hand, and he shall thoroughly purge his threshing-floor, and shall gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
Nw ninyigv aamtami kapkak nvnv upua doogv sudu. Nw ninyigv amkarmikar a nesunglo gvvlwk reku, vbvritola amsokmisok a nyimanv vmvlo ramyok reku.”
13 Then comes Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptised of him;
Vbvrire hoka Jisu Galili lokv aalwk la okv Jon gvlo Jordan Svko lo aatoku, nw gvlokv baptisma naadubv vla.
14 but John urgently forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptised of thee; and comest thou to me?
Vbvritola Jon ninyigv mvngnama mvngkurmvngrwk modubv gwngkwto, Jon minto, “Ngo ya no gvlo baptisma naaya svnga, no ngoogvlo ayapvi!”
15 But Jesus answering said to him, Suffer [it] now; for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffers him.
Vbvritola Jisu ninyia mirwkto, “Vjakgv lvgabv vbv doomu lajuka. Svbv rila Pwknvyarnv gv mvngnam mvnwngnga rilajuka.” Vkvlvgabv Jon mvnglwk minggv toku.
16 And Jesus, having been baptised, went up straightway from the water, and lo, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him:
Jisu baapubv baptisma naanam gula, nw isi lokv agum lo daklin toku. Vbvrikunamv Ninyi gvbv nyidomooku ngv kokok jito, okv Nw Pwknvyarnv gv Dow v taakw jvbv ritola ninyi gvlo jarlwk loodubv kaatoku.
17 and behold, a voice out of the heavens saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I have found my delight.
Vbvrikunamv nyidomooku tolokv gaamgo minto, “Si ngo atubogv paknam Kuunyilo ngv, ngoogv mvngyum namv.”
