Matthew 3
1 And in those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea
He wode xaammqiza Yaanisay asas “salo kawotethi matida gish inte nagarappe simite” gi sabakishe Yihuda bazo biittara yidess.
2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
3 For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, "The voice of one who calls out in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord. Make his roads straight.'"
“Goda ogge othite, wogga oggezakka lo7othite gishe bazo biittan wasiza qaala” getetidi kasse nabe Isayasan yotetidaysi Yaanisa gishasa.
4 Now John himself wore clothing made of camel's hair and with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
Yanisay gamela ithikkeppe othetida mayo mayess, ba xesikka dafora gixess, izi miza qummay degera essanne bole.
5 Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him,
Yerusalameppe, kumetha Yiudappene Yordanosse shahaaththaa matan diza dere wursoppe asay wuri Yaanisakko woodhdhidi
6 and they were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
ba nagarakka izas paxxishe Yordanosse shaafan iza kushen xaamaqetidess.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism he said to them, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Daro farsawetinne saduqaweti izi xamaqizaso yishin beydi Yaanisay “inteno shoshato iintte sinthara diza hanqoppe atana mala intena oni beside?”
8 Therefore bring forth fruit worthy of repentance,
Iintte iintte nagrappe simidaysa besiza otho othitte.
9 and do not think to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
‘Nu away Abiramey nus dess’ gizaysan interkka intena balethopitte, ta intess Xoossi hayta shuchatappe Abirames na othi denthanas danda7es gays.
10 "Even now the axe lies at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.
Hekko beeyxxey qanxxanas miththata garsan gigeti utidess. Hesa gish Lo7o ayfe ayfonta mithi wuri qanxxistanane taman yegistana.
11 I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but the one who comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and with fire.
tani marotethas hathan xamaqays haray ato shin ta iza caama tokanas besontadey, tappe adhiza minoy guyera yana, izikka Xillo Ayananine tamn intena xxamaqqana.
12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire."
kath suragiza layday iza kushen dess, izikka ba kaththa baleza piti geeshana, ba gistezakka kaththa di7en qolana, happa gidikko to7onta taman xxugana.” gidess.
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
He wode Yesusay Yanisan xamaqistanas Galilappe Yordanose shaafa bidess.
14 But John would have hindered him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?"
Gido atin Yanisay “haysi hanena tani nenan xamaqistana besishin neni waanada taakko yayi?” gidi izara eqetidess.
15 But Jesus, answering, said to him, "Allow it to happen now, for this is the proper way for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed him.
Yesuusaykka “aykkoyka ba ero garki! hayssa othidi nuni xilloteth wursi polans nus beses” gidess. Yansaykka iza qofa ero gi ekidess.
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water; and look, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.
Yesusay xamqetidi hathappe kezida mala herakka saloy doyetin Xossa ayany woolle kafo milatidi iza bolla wodhishin beyidess.
17 And look, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."
Saloppekka “tani izan ufa7etiza nazine ta siqiza ta nazi hayssakko” giza qalay siyetidess.
