1 Hagi Taiberias Sisa'ma Romu kumate 15ni'a zage kafuma kinima mani'negeno'a, Pontius Pailoti'a Judia mopare ugagoteno kva mani'geno, Heroti Antipasi'a rankva Galili manigeno, nefu Filipi'a rankva Ituriane, Trakoniasi kaziga mani'geno, Laiseniasi'a rankva Abilini kumate mani'ne.
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Ana knafina Anasike, Kaiafasikea mono nonte ugagota pristi netre mani'na'e. Higeno Anumzamofo kemo, vahe omani hagege kokampi Zekaraia nemofo Joninte e'ne.
in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness.
3 Joni'a mika Jodani rantima me'nea kaziga vano nehuno, tamagu'a rukrahe nehutma mono ti nefrenkeno, kumi tamia atreramanteno huno mono ke hu'ne.
He came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
4 Kasnampa ne' Aisaia avontafepina amanage huno krente'ne, Mago vahe'mofo agerumo'a, vahe omani ka'ma kopinti kezatino, Ramo'ma esia kana retro nehuta, Agri kana azeri ante fatgo hunteho hu'ne.
As it is written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord. Make his roads straight.
5 Mika keri'a antevineteta, mika agona eri agupo nehutma, kazaki nesia zantamina eri fatgo nehutma, haviza huno knare osu'nesia kantamina erintefatgo, nehinkeno,
Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be made low, and the crooked will be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.
6 ana mika vahe'mo'za Anumzamo'ma tahokema heazana kegahaze. (Ais 40:3-5)
And all humanity will see the salvation of God.'"
7 Higeno Joni'a agrite'ma mono ti frerantesie hu'za e'naza vahe krerfamo'za anage huno zamasami'ne, Tamagra ha' osifave'mofo mofavre nagare! Aza hanigetma Anumzamofo rimpa hezampintira korera fregahaze?
He said therefore to the crowds who went out to be baptized by him, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 E'ina hu'negu, tamagrama tamagu'ama rukrehema hu'nenutma knare tamavutmava hinkeno hago zamagu'a rukrehe hu'naze hu'za hugahaze. Tamagra agafa hutma Abrahamu'a tagri nerageho mani'ne huta osutfa hiho. Na'ankure tamagri'ma neramasmuana, Anumzamo'a amne ama haveramintetira Abrahamuna mofavrea erifore humigahie.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say among yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father;' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
9 Menina hago sasumemo'a zafa antaginaku agafafi kriri'ne, hagino anampinti'ma knare ragama reontesia zafa antagino tevefi asaga huno kregahie.
Even now the axe also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire."
10 Hige'za ana vahe kevumo'za Jonina anage hu'za antahige'naze. Hagi tagra na'a hugahu'ne?
The crowds asked him, "What then must we do?"
11 Hu'za antahigageno, Joni'a, zamagari kenona anage huno zamasmi'ne, azagama tare kenama ante'nesamoka, magora onte'nesimofo ome fako humio, hagi azagama ne'zama ante'nesamoka, anazanke hunka fako huzamio.
He answered them, "He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise."
12 Takisi zagoma zonegiza vahe'mo'zane, ti frerantegahie hu'za e'namo'zanena, Jonina anage hu'za antahige'naze. Rempi huzami nemoke, tagranena nankna hugahune?
Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what must we do?"
13 Agra anage huno zamasmi'ne, Kvamo'ma eriho hu'nesia kana arugateretma mago'ene zagoa zo'onkiho.
He said to them, "Collect no more than that which is appointed to you."
14 Anante mago'a sondia vahe'mo'za antahige'naze. Hagi tagaranena na'a hugahune? Hazageno Joni'a anage huno zamagrira zamasmi'ne, Vahe'mokizami zagoa tutu huzamanteta havigea hutma e'oriho. Hagi tamarimpa fru hutma mizantami eri fatgo hiho.
Soldiers also asked him, saying, "What about us? What must we do?" He said to them, "Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages."
15 Anagema hianke vahe'mo'za nentahi'za, Joninkura Kraisi hago ama e'nefi nehu'za, tare tagufa zamagesa antahi'naze.
As the people were in expectation, and all were wondering in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Messiah,
16 Joni'a mika'mokizmi kenona anage hu'ne, Nagra amane tintafanteti fre'neramantoe. Hianagi magoma ne'emo'a nagrira nagatereno tusi hihamu'ane ne' egahie. Nagra amuha osu'noankina Agri aganomofo nofira katu ofegahue. Agra mono tina Ruotage Avamuteti'ene, tevereti'ene freramantegahie.
John answered them all, "I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire,
17 Agra witi eri herahehu fokua azampi eri'no, witi hona'a hare kuma harafi nehuno, nena'a witi ante nompi eri'nenteno, hona'a vaga ore tevefi kre fanene hugahie.
whose winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
18 Ana huno amanahu kante, Joni'a rama'a knare antahintahi erinteno, vahera Knare Musenkea zamasami'ne.
Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,
19 Hianagi Joni'a rankva ne' Herotina haviza hu'nane huno hanavetino asami'ne, na'ankure nefu nenaro rehanereno Herodiasina a' erinte'nea zanku'ene, havi avu'avazama hiazanku anagea hunte'ne.
but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
20 Heroti'a mago'ene ana agofetu kefozama hu'neana, Jonina kina hunte'ne.
added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Maka veamo'za mono ti fretageno, Jisasi'enena mono ti freteno, nunamu nehigeno mona kafamo'a anagigeno,
Now it happened, when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying. The sky was opened,
22 Ruotage Avamumo'a maho namagna huno eramino avufare emanigeno, monafinkati mago agerumo'a anage hu'ne, Mofavrenimoka tusiza hu'na Kagrikura kavesinegante'na muse hunegantoe.
and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form as a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying "You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased."
23 Jisasi'ma mono eri'zama'ama erigafa hu'neana, 30'a kafuzage naza huteno erigafa hu'ne. Hanki vea'mo'za zamagesa antahi'zana, Josefe mofavre mani'ne, hu'za zamagesa antahi'naze. Hanki Josefe nefa agi'a Eli'e.
