Umatiyu 3
1 U ganiya uginome Yahaya unu zorsa anu zorsa anu ma'e, mazintize ani ja nu Yahudiya.
And in those days cometh John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
2 Innu gusa, “Hemni, barki uvenke a sesere wa aye mamu.
saying, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
3 Unu age mani Ishaya unu kurzo utize ma buni “Nimyiran nu tisa anyimo ani ja nigusa, barkana tume.
For this is he that was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.
4 Yahaya maturi inturunga innu subu uronkomi, matiri uzu uwa, immumare imme makene nan matu.
Now John himself had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
5 Anu Urshalima nan nu Yahudiya vat, nan ana ma nyanga murabi uraba udang u'urdu wa ezi ahira ame.
Then went out unto him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan;
6 Mennu zorso uwe uraba u'urdu me, wen nubo imum izonzen iwe.
and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
7 Sa Yahaya ma ira ma Farisiyawa wan ma Sadukiyawa gwardan, wa'e zi barki a zorso we, ma gunwe “she” iwa! a verri mubuka shi isumi iruba iburu uwui ugino su eze.
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Wu zani katuma sa kadi bezi u him ukaba tize tasere.
Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance:
9 Kati iziki amuruba mushi agi Ibrahim mani a co ushi. barki anime inboshi. Asere abari abari Ibrahim a hana in na po ageme.
and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
10 A' atara anyo abitem anitini nu titti. barki anime vat ulitti me sa daki wa nya ahana ariri ba, akoriko uni areki ura.
And even now is the axe laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
11 Mi, inmei mani inzinu zorsuzo ushi, ubuka uhim ushi, a' aname unu aye adumo am matakum innu gwardang, desa bi nyimo bukwatak umeme indake invon kiba. memani madi zorso in bibe lau won ura.
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and [with] fire:
12 Utanika ura atar tume, madi visi ahira abi suya-suya lau, ma humuko bi home mawu ukere ume. ma mindin me, ma uni ura uzatu biso ma punsi.
whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
13 Uganiya ugino uni Yesu ma e usuro manyanga mu Galili, maha uraba urdu ahira Yahaya, barki azorome.
Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
14 Yahaya ma nyari ukarki ume, magu “misan in nyari hu uzorom, u'e ahira am?”
But John would have hindered him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
15 Ba Yesu makabirka me magu, “aca icuku anime a name, barki anime animya wuna to mincikina kadure” a' anime Yahaya ma hemme.
But Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer [it] now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffereth him.
16 Sa' azoro Yesu, ahirame ma suri a nyimo me I, Asesere awata, ma iri bibe bilau ba were both kasi bi hurbe. butu ani ce nume.
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway from the water: and lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him;
17 Akin na no miram azesere nigusa, “unite Mani vana um sa mahem inme. dewan in zin Inna puru arum taking.”
and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
