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 Cesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and Trachonitis,
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.
and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, Annas and Caiaphas being high priests, the word of God came unto John the Son of Zacharias 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.
and he went into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance in order to the remission 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 book of Esaias the prophet, saying, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths 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 shall be raised, and every mountain and hill shall be lowered, and the crooked ways shall 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 men shall 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?
Therefore said he to the multitudes that came to be baptised by him, O generation of vipers, who hath 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 becoming penitents, and do not say within yourselves, "We have Abraham for our father," for I tell you that God can of these stones raise up children to Abraham.
9 Menina hago sasumemo'a zafa antaginaku agafafi kriri'ne, hagino anampinti'ma knare ragama reontesia zafa antagino tevefi asaga huno kregahie.
And now the ax is laid to the root of the trees: every tree therefore which doth not yield good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire.
10 Hige'za ana vahe kevumo'za Jonina anage hu'za antahige'naze. Hagi tagra na'a hugahu'ne?
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
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.
And he saith unto them, Let him that hath two coats, give one to him that hath none, and let him that hath food do the like.
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?
And there came publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 Agra anage huno zamasmi'ne, Kvamo'ma eriho hu'nesia kana arugateretma mago'ene zagoa zo'onkiho.
And He said unto them, Exact no more than what is appointed 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.
And the soldiers also asked him, saying, And what shall we do? and He said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely, and be content with your pay.
15 Anagema hianke vahe'mo'za nentahi'za, Joninkura Kraisi hago ama e'nefi nehu'za, tare tagufa zamagesa antahi'naze.
Now as the people were in suspense, and were all thinking in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ or not,
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 and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but a mightier than I is coming, whose shoes I am not worthy to untie: 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 fan is in his hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat into his granary, but will burn up the chaff in unquenchable fire.
18 Ana huno amanahu kante, Joni'a rama'a knare antahintahi erinteno, vahera Knare Musenkea zamasami'ne.
And many other things by way of exhortation did he preach unto 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 on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, and for all the wicked things which Herod did,
20 Heroti'a mago'ene ana agofetu kefozama hu'neana, Jonina kina hunte'ne.
added this likewise to all the rest, 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, when all the people were baptized, and Jesus was baptized and praying,
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.
the heaven was opened, and the holy Spirit descended in a corporeal form, like a dove upon Him, and there came a voice from heaven saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee 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.
