Matthew 3
1 Matam aduda baptize toubiba John-na thoraktuna Judea-gi lamjao lamhangda pao sandokpa hourammi.
In then the days those comes John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness of Judea
2 Mahakna asumna hairammi, “Nakhoina paptagi pukning hongduna Tengban Mapuda halak-u, maramdi swarga leibak adu naksillakle!”
and saying; do repent; has drawn near for the kingdom of the heavens.
3 Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichou Isaiah-na phongdokpikhiba misak adu John asini, “Laori, kanagumba amana lamjao lamhangda, ‘MAPU IBUNGO-gi lambi adu thourang tou; Ibungo mahakna chatnaba lambi adu chumhallu!’”
This for is the [One] having been spoken of (through *N(k)O*) Isaiah the prophet saying; [The] voice of one crying in the wilderness do prepare the way of [the] Lord, straight do make the paths of Him.
4 John-na ut matugi phi setlammi, aduga makhwangda sawun-gi khwangjet laklammi; amasung mahakki chinjakti koujeng amasung lamlakki khoihina oirammi.
Himself now John was having the garment of him of hair of a camel and a belt of leather around the waist of him; and [the] food was of him locusts and honey wild.
5 Aduga Jerusalem-gi mising yaona Judea apumbadagi amadi Jordan turen-gi akoibada leiba mapham pumnamaktagi miyam thoklaktuna mahakpu yengnaba amasung mahakki wahei tananaba laklammi.
At that time were going out to him Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region around the Jordan,
6 Aduga makhoina makhoigi mapapsing haidokcharabada, John-na makhoibu Jordan turenda baptize loubirammi.
and were being baptized in the Jordan (River *no*) by him confessing the sins of them.
7 Adubu Pharisee amasung Sadducee mayam amana mahakna baptize touba aduda lakpa ubada, mahakna makhoida hairak-i, “He lilgi chada naodasa, lakkadouriba Tengban Mapugi asaoba adudagi chennanaba nakhoida kanana haibage?
Having seen now many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to the baptism of him he said to them; Brood of vipers, who forewarned you to flee from the coming wrath?
8 Nakhoina paptagi pukning hongbagi matik chaba mahei yallu.
do produce therefore (fruit worthy *N(k)O*) of repentance.
9 Aduga ‘Eikhoigi ipa Abraham lei’ hairaga cheirak adudagi nanthokkani haina khan-ganu. Maramdi eina nakhoida hairi madudi nungsing asidagisu Tengban Mapuna Abraham-gi machasing thok-hanba ngammi.
And not may you presume to say within yourselves; [As] father we have Abraham; I say for to you that able is God out of stones these to raise up children to Abraham.
10 Houjiksu upalsing asigi makhongda yanthatnabagidamak singjang thourang touduna lei, amasung aphaba mahei yandaba upal khudingmak yanthattuna meinungda langsingani.
Already now (and *k*) the ax to the root of the trees is applied. every therefore tree not producing fruit good is cut down and into [the] fire is thrown.
11 Pukning hongbagidamak eina nakhoibu isingda baptize toubi, adubu eigi itungda lenglakliba Ibungo mahakna eingondagi henna matik chaoba helli. Eidi mahakki sandal puba phaoba matik chade. Aduga mahaknadi nakhoibu Thawai Asengbada amasung meida baptize toubigani.
I myself indeed you baptize with water to repentance, however after me is coming mightier than I He is of whom not I am fit the sandals to carry; He himself you will baptize with [the] Spirit Holy and with fire;
12 Ibungona magi phou-inthok paiduna gehudagi mahamsing khaidoknaba thourang touduna leiri. Adudagi mahakna mahei marong yeipham adu sengdoktuna gehusing adubu keida peisin-gani, adubu mahamsing adubudi mutpa naidaba meida thajin-gani.”
whose winnowing fork [is] in the hand of Him, and He will clear the threshing floor of Him and will gather the wheat of Him into the barn (of him *o*) the but chaff He will burn up with fire unquenchable.
13 Adudagi Jisuna John-dagi baptize lounabagidamak Galilee thadoktuna Jordan-da laklammi.
Then comes Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John to be baptized by him.
14 Adubu John-na mahakpu khamladuna hairak-i; “Ibungona eihakpudum baptize toubipham thok-i, aduga Ibungona oina eigi inakta lengbiraklabra?”
But John was hindering Him saying; I myself need have by You to be baptized, and You yourself come to me?
15 Jisuna mangonda khumlak-i, “Houjikki oinadi asumna oirasanu; maramdi matou asumna eikhoina achumba chatpagi thabak pumnamak adu mapung phahanba matik chabani.” Maduda John-na mahakpu baptize toubada yajare.
Answering however Jesus said unto (him; *NK(o)*) do permit [it] now; thus for fitting it is to us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he permits Him.
16 Aduga Jisuna baptize louraba tungda, isingdagi hek karakpaga, yeng-u, nongmadon atiya hangdoktuna Tengban Mapugi Thawaina Ibungogi mathakta khunugumna lengtharakpa mahakna ure.
(and *k*) Having been baptized (now *no*) Jesus immediately went up from the water. and behold were opened to Him the heavens, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and alighting upon Him.
17 Aduga swargadagi khonjel amana asumna hairak-i, “Mahak eigi nungsijaraba Ichanupani, mangonda eina yamna pelle.”
And behold a voice out of the heavens saying; This is the Son of Mine the beloved in whom I was well pleased.
