Matthew 3
1 And in those dayes, Iohn the Baptist came and preached in the wildernes of Iudea,
Hatnah e tueng nah, Baptisma kapoekung Jawhan teh, Judah ram kahrawngum vah,
2 And said, Repent: for the kingdome of heauen is at hand.
Kalvan uknaeram teh a hnai toe. Hatdawkvah, pankângai awh leih telah a pathang.
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.
Profet Isaiah ni sut a dei e teh, Kahrawng um vah kahram e lawk ni, Bawipa e lamthung teh pathoup awh. A lamthung teh lan sak awh ati navah, hote Jawhan doeh a dei ngai nah.
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.
Jawhan teh Kalauk muen hoi kawng e a khohna teh, a keng dawk phaivuen taisawm a kâyeng teh, samtong hoi khoitui hah a canei.
5 Then went out to him Ierusalem and all Iudea, and all the region rounde about Iordan.
Jerusalem, Judah ram, Jordan tui teng e tami pueng ni Jawhan teh a pâtam awh.
6 And they were baptized of him in Iordan, confessing their sinnes.
A yonnae pueng a pâpho awh teh, Jordan tui dawk Jawhan e baptisma teh a coe awh.
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?
Farasinaw hoi Sadusinaw, baptisma coe hanelah a tho awh e hah Jawhan ni a hmu navah, Oe, Tahrun hrunthoe catounnaw, ka tho hane lungkhueknae dawk hoi na hlout awh nahanelah apinimaw kâhruetcuetnae na poe a vaw.
8 Bring foorth therefore fruite worthy amendment of life.
Pankângainae hoi kamcu e tawksaknae hah sak awh.
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.
Abraham teh kaimae na pa doeh telah pouk awh hanh. Na dei pouh awh, Cathut ni hete talungnaw hah, Abraham e a canaw lah a coung sak thai.
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.
Thingkung koevah Cakâ sut ta lah ao toung dawkvah, a paw kahawi ka paw hoeh e akung pueng teh, tâtueng vaiteh, hmai dawk phum lah ao han.
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.
Kai ni teh pankângainae baptisma tui dawk na poe awh. Ka hnuklah ka tho e teh kai hlak hno a sak thai. Ahnie khokkhawmrui patenghai rasu pouh hanelah kai ka kamcu hoeh. Ahni ni teh Kathoung Muitha hoi hmai hoi baptisma na poe awh han.
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.
A kut dawk para a sin teh kacailah pheng a hut. Cakang ka tak e teh capai dawk a cui. Hatei, cahiknaw teh karoum thai hoeh e hmai hoi sawi lah ao han atipouh.
13 Then came Iesus from Galile to Iordan vnto Iohn, to be baptized of him.
Hatnavah, Jisuh teh Galilee ram lahoi Jordan palang vah Jawhan koe baptisma coe hanelah a tho.
14 But Iohn earnestly put him backe, saying, I haue neede to be baptized of thee, and commest thou to me?
Jawhan ni, kai nouh nang koe baptisma ka coe hane ei, nang ni kai koe lat na tho atipouh teh a cakâ.
15 Then Iesus answering, saide to him, Let be nowe: for thus it becommeth vs to fulfill all righteousnes. So he suffered him.
Jisuh ni, Cathut ni tawk sak hanlah na ngaikhai e pueng teh tawk hanelah ao dawkvah, atu baptisma na poe leih atipouh. Hahoi torei teh, Jawhan ni a tarawi pouh.
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.
Jisuh baptisma a coe hnukkhu tui dawk hoi a thaw navah, kalvannaw a kamawng teh, Cathut e Muitha teh Âbakhu patetlah a kum e hah a hmu teh a tak dawk a cu pouh.
17 And loe, a voyce came from heauen, saying, This is my beloued Sonne, in whome I am well pleased.
Kalvan hoi e lawk ni, ahni teh ka pahren poung e hoi ka lungkuep e Capa doeh, telah a dei.
