Matthew 3
1 And in those dayes, Iohn the Baptist came and preached in the wildernes of Iudea,
Ni nton kima Yohana u tie Batisma a ye tren njo Rji ni miji u Yahudiya;
2 And said, Repent: for the kingdome of heauen is at hand.
Nda ni wa, ka meme cuwo; mulki shulu a tiewiere.
3 For this is he of whome it is spoken by the Prophet Esaias, saying, The voyce of him that crieth in the wildernes, Prepare ye the way of the Lord: make his pathes straight.
Ahi wawuyi ba tre ni nyu anabi Ishaya nda hla. Ilan uyo rji ni miji mla nkon Baci tie mla zren mbi tie.
4 And this Iohn had his garment of camels heare, and a girdle of a skinne about his loynes: his meate was also locusts and wilde hony.
Yohana ata sru kpie u nfu laklumi nda lo ntan u birli me ana hi lagblan mba ton u miji.
5 Then went out to him Ierusalem and all Iudea, and all the region rounde about Iordan.
Indi bi Urushalima ni bi wa ba he kagon igbu bi urdu ba rju wawuu ye.
6 And they were baptized of him in Iordan, confessing their sinnes.
A tie batisma ni bawu ni nne urdu u bata hla' la' tre mba.
7 Now when he sawe many of the Pharises, and of the Sadduces come to his baptisme, he said vnto them, O generations of vipers, who hath forewarned you to flee from the anger to come?
A to gbugbu Farisawa ni Saddukiyawa ba ye ndu tie batisma bawu a hla ni bawu biyi mrli grace, ahi nha hla yiwu ndu yi klu ifu wa asi ye'a?
8 Bring foorth therefore fruite worthy amendment of life.
Nji mrli wa ba tsar u mla latre mbatie'a ye:
9 And thinke not to say with your selues, We haue Abraham to our father: for I say vnto you, that God is able euen of these stones to raise vp children vnto Abraham.
Na tamre ndi bi hla ni kpa mbi ndi kie he ni tie mbu Ibrahim; to misi hla yiwu ni mi tita biyi Irji he gbengblen u ka mba tie imrli Ibrahim.
10 And now also is the axe put to the roote of the trees: therfore euery tree which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewen downe, and cast into ye fire.
Zizanyime bayo gla ni nci kukron ba: kukron wa ana tie klo didi mana ba tsenwu nda kasru ni lu:
11 In deede I baptize you with water to amendment of life, but he that commeth after me, is mightier then I, whose shoes I am not worthie to beare: hee will baptize you with the holy Ghost, and with fire.
“Ime mi tie batisma yiwu ni maa u ka latre mbi cuwo amma uwa aniye kogon mua a' nna' me ni gbengblen mina mla u si rjirji lagban ma na: wawuyi ni tie batisma yiwu ni Brji tsatsar mba lu' ngame:
12 Which hath his fanne in his hand, and wil make cleane his floore, and gather his wheate into his garner, but will burne vp the chaffe with vnquenchable fire.
Mwu mwu ma he ni wo ma ani tsen alkama nda vu bi didi ba sru wruon, u nfon ma ani gonwu ni kpatren lu' wa ana y'bi na'.
13 Then came Iesus from Galile to Iordan vnto Iohn, to be baptized of him.
Rliko Yesu a wlu ni Galili hi ni urdu ni Yohana ni ndu tie batisma niwu.
14 But Iohn earnestly put him backe, saying, I haue neede to be baptized of thee, and commest thou to me?
U Yohana ka tie' san nda tre mi si son ndu tie batisma ni mu, i wu la' ye' ni me?
15 Then Iesus answering, saide to him, Let be nowe: for thus it becommeth vs to fulfill all righteousnes. So he suffered him.
Yesu a kasa niwu nda tre uka y'me zizanyi: towa ahe tie nkon ni tawu ndu ta kle indu tsatsar wawuu Rliko Yohana ka y'me niwu.
16 And Iesus when hee was baptized, came straight out of the water. And lo, the heaues were opened vnto him, and Iohn saw the Spirit of God descending like a doue, and lighting vpon him.
U Yesu, wa ba tie batisma niwu'a ani rju ni maa me u shulu ba ka bwu niwu a to Ibriji Rji grji na ngwu ye ku son niwu ni tu.
17 And loe, a voyce came from heauen, saying, This is my beloued Sonne, in whome I am well pleased.
U lan ka rji na shulu nda tre, Iwayi ahi kponji vrenmu idrimu ni ngri ni wu.
