Matthew 3
1 And in those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea
Ni nton kima Yohana u tie Batisma a ye tren njo Rji ni miji u Yahudiya;
2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
Nda ni wa, ka meme cuwo; mulki shulu a tiewiere.
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.'"
Ahi wawuyi ba tre ni nyu anabi Ishaya nda hla. Ilan uyo rji ni miji mla nkon Baci tie mla zren mbi tie.
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.
Yohana ata sru kpie u nfu laklumi nda lo ntan u birli me ana hi lagblan mba ton u miji.
5 Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him,
Indi bi Urushalima ni bi wa ba he kagon igbu bi urdu ba rju wawuu ye.
6 and they were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
A tie batisma ni bawu ni nne urdu u bata hla' la' tre mba.
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?
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 Therefore bring forth fruit worthy of repentance,
Nji mrli wa ba tsar u mla latre mbatie'a ye:
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.
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 "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.
Zizanyime bayo gla ni nci kukron ba: kukron wa ana tie klo didi mana ba tsenwu nda kasru ni lu:
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.
“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 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."
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 Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
Rliko Yesu a wlu ni Galili hi ni urdu ni Yohana ni ndu tie batisma niwu.
14 But John would have hindered him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?"
U Yohana ka tie' san nda tre mi si son ndu tie batisma ni mu, i wu la' ye' ni me?
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.
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 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.
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 look, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."
U lan ka rji na shulu nda tre, Iwayi ahi kponji vrenmu idrimu ni ngri ni wu.
