Matthew 3
1 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea saying,
Kume ni wo Yuwana yu mwem kwamam tiyeu yau ne fulen ker kwama ro ti.
2 “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
Ko yiloten wori, liyar do lo kwama dadom.
3 For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “The voice of one calling out in the wilderness, 'Make ready 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 Now John wore clothing of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
Yuwana merum ki belle yiri teleme, bwam ki dk teak fer cer. Cari ceu, kwake kange yuiti to kiyeu.
5 Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan River went out to him.
Co rubo Urcalima kange wo Yahudiya gwam, kange bitine tinim bo kong Urduneu, ci bou ti ka bo ka tuje co wiyeu.
6 They were baptized by him in the Jordan River, as they confessed their sins.
Na ci yuu cinen mwem kwamam caji Urdun, kambo ci tok bwira kerer ce tiyeu.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to him for baptism, he said to them, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath that is coming?
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 fruit worthy of repentance.
Ko ne bituti wo a nung yila ka kume ko tiyeu.
9 Do not think of saying among yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham even 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 Already the ax has been placed against the root of the trees. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire.
Na wonyeu yoti biteye dimer tiniro nan, na cori tiyowo ne bo bituti keneti, an tom co na merken mor kire.
11 I baptize you with water for repentance. But he who comes after me is mightier than I, and I am not worthy even to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with 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 His winnowing fork is in his hand to thoroughly clear off his threshing floor and to gather his wheat into the storehouse. But he will burn up the chaff with fire that can never be put out.”
Kwele yu'u ka ceko tam kang cek, can nyinagum teneu wiyak, na murom bikateceu na yo ken binico.”
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan River to be baptized by John.
La Yecu bou biten Galili, ya caji Urdun fintange Yuwana nen, na yu'u cinen mwem kwamam.
14 But John kept trying to stop him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do 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 Jesus responded and said to him, “Permit it now, for it is right for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John permitted him.
Yecu yila yi co a ma nyo na dim cak-cakeu gwam. Co Yuwana ciya cinene.
16 After he was baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Spirit of God coming down like a dove and resting upon 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 Behold, a voice came out of the heavens saying, “This is my beloved Son. I am very pleased with him.”
La diro kange lo kwama ceru toki, wo bi bwemi ma cui cuiyeu, ma nuwa luma cek ti.
