Matthew 3
1 And in those days John the Immerser comes, proclaiming in the wilderness of Judea,
Kume ni wo Yuwana yu mwem kwamam tiyeu yau ne fulen ker kwama ro ti.
2 and saying, “Convert, for the kingdom of the heavens has come near,”
Ko yiloten wori, liyar do lo kwama dadom.
3 for this is he having been spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the LORD, Make His paths straight.”
won co wo nii dukume kaya tok kerce reu, “Dir nii kanger co bi cor ti kii, toki, “ko Yuwel Teluwe nin nureceu, fuwak ceko atim.
4 And this John had his clothing of camel’s hair, and a girdle of skin around his loins, and his nourishment was locusts and honey of the field.
Yuwana merum ki belle yiri teleme, bwam ki dk teak fer cer. Cari ceu, kwake kange yuiti to kiyeu.
5 Then were going forth to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan,
Co rubo Urcalima kange wo Yahudiya gwam, kange bitine tinim bo kong Urduneu, ci bou ti ka bo ka tuje co wiyeu.
6 and they were immersed in the Jordan by him, confessing their sins.
Na ci yuu cinen mwem kwamam caji Urdun, kambo ci tok bwira kerer ce tiyeu.
7 And having seen many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming about his immersion, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who showed you to flee from the coming wrath?
La co to Faricawa kange cadukiyawa kila cirangum ti na co yu'u cinen mwem kwamamedi co ca ciye, “Kom berin nacuwe ki mwan neu, we wer kom ko cuam funero wo au tiye.
8 Bear, therefore, fruits worthy of conversion,
Ko ne bituti wo a nung yila ka kume ko tiyeu.
9 and do not think to say in yourselves, We have a father—Abraham, for I say to you that God is able to raise children to Abraham out of these stones,
Ku kware mor ne kume kom ki Abram te kume! be ma yi kom ti, kwama wi kibi kwan do wo a kung Abram nin bibeiti fo tetendo wuro neneu.
10 and now also, the axe is laid to the root of the trees, therefore, every tree not bearing good fruit is cut down, and is cast into fire.
Na wonyeu yoti biteye dimer tiniro nan, na cori tiyowo ne bo bituti keneti, an tom co na merken mor kire.
11 I indeed immerse you in water for conversion, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to carry the sandals, He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and fire,
Ma Yukumen mwem kwamam bo ki mwem, ya ciko yo laka kumekeu. Niwo bouti bui mi yeu layeki dur, woro ta ceu ma labo nan tu'u. co ca yu'u kumen mwem kwamam bo ki yuwa tangbe kwama, kange kira.
12 whose fan [is] in His hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse His floor, and will gather His wheat into the storehouse, but He will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Kwele yu'u ka ceko tam kang cek, can nyinagum teneu wiyak, na murom bikateceu na yo ken binico.”
13 Then Jesus comes from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be immersed by him,
La Yecu bou biten Galili, ya caji Urdun fintange Yuwana nen, na yu'u cinen mwem kwamam.
14 but John was forbidding Him, saying, “I have need to be immersed by You—and You come to me?”
La Yuwana mani naco kicim co, tok ti ki, mo wo ma cuiti na yu'u mwem kwamam meu, mom bou minen?”.
15 But Jesus answering said to him, “Permit [it] now, for thus it is fitting to us to fulfill all righteousness,” then he permits Him.
Yecu yila yi co a ma nyo na dim cak-cakeu gwam. Co Yuwana ciya cinene.
16 And having been immersed, Jesus immediately went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on Him,
Buiko ci yu'u cinen mwem kwamam be di, Yecu cerum can duwo mor mwenge, La dii kwama wo cinen. La co to yuwa tangbe kwamako yirau ti docer na nagumfiye, yira yiti dorcer.
17 and behold, a voice out of the heavens, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I delighted.”
La diro kange lo kwama ceru toki, wo bi bwemi ma cui cuiyeu, ma nuwa luma cek ti.
