Matiu 3
1 Ana knafina mono ti frezmante Joni'a, Judia kaziga ka'ma mopafi ne-eno amanage huno Anumzamofo ke huama huno zamasmi'ne.
And in those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea
2 Kefozantamigu tamasunke huta tamagu'a rukrehe hiho. Na'ankure mona kuma'mo'a hago tava'o nehie.
and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
3 Na'ankure korapa ama'na kegu kasnampa ne' Aisaia'a Joninku anagea hu'ne, Mago ageru'mo ka'ma mopafinti kezatino, Ramofo kana varinenteta, agri kana eri ante fatgo hiho hu'ne! (Ais 40:3)
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.'"
4 Joni'a kemori azokateti trohunte kena masi'neno, trazama nenaza afu'mofo akruteti amu'nofira nehuno, kenu'ene, afi' tumemofo rima'ane ne'ne.
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.
5 Anante Jerusalemi kumate vahemo'zane, Judia kazigati ene, ana mika Jodani kazigati vahe'mo'zane mika eri hantage'za Joninte etere hazageno,
Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him,
6 Joni'a Jodani timpi huama kumi'zmi hutere nehazageno, mono ti fre zamante'ne.
and they were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
7 Hianagi agrama kege'za hakare'a Farisi vahe'ene, Sadusi vahe'ma mono ti frekure hu'za ageno, Joni'a anage huno zamasmi'ne, tamagra ha' osifavemofo mofavre nagare, aza tmasmino amuma ne-ea Anumzamofo rimpahe zampintira fregahaze huno tamasami'ne.
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?
8 Ana hu'nagu raga rentenkeno, tamagu'a rukrehe hunaze huno tamage'za sena,
Therefore bring forth fruit worthy of repentance,
9 hagi Abrahamu'a nerfakita, tagra knare hu'none hutma osiho. Na'ankure nagrama tamagri'ma tamasamisuana, Anumzamo'a amne hanigeno ami havemo'a, Abrahamuna mofavre nagara fore humigahie.
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.
10 Meninena hago sasumemo'a mika zafa agafare kriri'neankino, hakare zafamo knare ragama reontesia zafaramina, antagino tevefi mate'vuno atregahie.
"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.
11 Nagra amne tinteti mono tina fre nermantoe, tamagu'a rukrahe hanazegu, hianagi Agra henkama ne-emo'a nagrira nagatereno hihamu'ane ne' egahie, hige'na nagra Agri aganona (sendol) erizafiga osu'noe. Ruotge Avamuteti'ene tevenu'ene Agra mono tina fre ramantegahie.
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.
12 Witi ne'za eri atru hania kna hago atupa nehigeno, Agra vazihehehu azota azampi erino mani'ne. Hanki witi akru hare kuma eri hagro nehuno, anampinti nena'a zogirino erino nompi Agra ome nenteno, hona'a tevava tevefi krenkeno tegahie.
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."
13 Anante Jisasi'a Galiliti atreno Joni mono ti frente'snie huno Jodani tinte e'ne.
Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
14 Hianagi Joni'a tima Agri'ma frente'zankura i'o nehuno, Kagra, nagrira tina fre nantesankeno knarera hugahie, hianagi Kagra nagritega neano?
But John would have hindered him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?"
15 Hianagi Jisasi'a ke nona'a Jonina asmino, Menina amne fre nantegahane, na'ankure tagrati'a e'inama hanu'ana fatgo avu'avaza hugahue, higeno Joni'a Agri ke antahino,
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.
16 mono tima frentegeno, Jisasi'a ana timpinti ame huno otino ankenarega mrerino ne-egeno, monamo hagro nehigeno, keana Anumzamofo Avamu'mo maho nama'gna huno akoheno eramino Jisasinte emani'ne.
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.
17 Higeno, monafinkati mago ageru'mo huno, Ama'i Nagrama avesinento'a magoke Mofavreni'agi'na Nagra tusi'a muse Agrira hunentoe.
And look, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."
