Mateos 3
1 Leleꞌ Yesus naꞌamoko boe ma, Yohanis Mana Saraniꞌ a mulai nanori atahori ra sia mamanaꞌ naꞌadooꞌ no kamboꞌ, sia profinsi Yudea.
Now, in those days, came John the Immerser, proclaiming in the wilderness of Judaea;
2 Ana nafadꞌe nae, “Toronoo susue ngga ra e! Ama musi mitaa ma lao hela basa sala-kilu mara, fo baliꞌ misiꞌ Lamatualain leo. Te aleꞌ ia basa atahori bisa masoꞌ dadꞌi Lamatualain atahorin.”
saying, Repent ye, —for the kingdom of the heavens hath drawn near.
3 Dalahulun Lamatualain mana ola-olan esa, naran Yesaya sura soꞌal Yohanis ena nae, “Dei fo hambu atahori nameli sia mamana mana naꞌadoo no kamboꞌ nae, ‘Basa atahori rahehere tao ralole dalaꞌ, fo soru Lamatualain neneman! Tao mitetu dalaꞌ fee neu E!”
For, this, is he who was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, A voice, of one crying aloud! In the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight, be making his paths.
4 Yohanis ia dala masodꞌan onaꞌ Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-ola dalahulu nara. Eni bua-baun, tao mia banda onta fulun. Bobꞌorin, tao mia banda rouꞌ a. Ma nanaa-nininun, lamat no oni lasi oeꞌ.
But John, himself, had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, —while, his food, was locusts and wild honey.
5 Leleꞌ naa atahori hetar rema rae randaa ro Yohanis. Ara rema mia Yerusalem, ma mia basa profinsi Yudea isin. Ara o rema mia kambo-kamboꞌ fo badeka ro loe Yarden.
Then, were going forth unto him—Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the country round about the Jordan:
6 Ara buka rala nara ma rataa basa sala-kilu nara, basa ma Yohanis sarani se mia loe Yarden.
and were being immersed in the Jordan river, by him, openly confessing their sins.
7 Leleꞌ naa, atahori mia partei Farisi ma partei agama Saduki ra o rema risiꞌ mamanaꞌ fo Yohanis saraniꞌ a. Te leleꞌ ana nita se ma, ana bua se nae, “heh! Ama onaꞌ mengge mana peko-lelekoꞌ! Dei fo Lamatualain huku-dꞌoki nggi huu tatao-nonoꞌi deꞌulaka mara. Wae! Afiꞌ duꞌa mae hei bisa mela mia Lamatuaꞌ huku-dꞌokin
But, seeing, many of the Pharisees and Sadducees, coming unto his immersion, he said to them, —Broods of vipers! who suggested to you, to be fleeing from the coming wrath?
8 De malole lenaꞌ baliꞌ misiꞌ Lamatualain, ma lao hela basa sala-kilu mara. Basa na, tao dala-dala maloleꞌ ra, onaꞌ hau huuꞌ mana nabꞌoa boa maloleꞌ.
Bring forth, therefore, fruit worthy of repentance;
9 Afiꞌ duꞌa mae hei hambu masodꞌaꞌ ena huu hei, baꞌi Abraham tititi-nonosin. Mimihere au! Huu Lamatualain bisa tao fatu ra dadꞌi baꞌi Abraham tititi-nonosin.
and think not to be saying within yourselves, —As our father, we have, Abraham; for, I say unto you, that God is able, out of these stones, to raise up children unto Abraham.
10 Besa-bꞌesa e! Te hambu atahori toꞌu taꞌa fo rahehere rae ungga hendi basa hau huuꞌ nda mana rabꞌoa maloleꞌ ra sa. Ungga basa na, Ana nggari hendi se ai rala reu.
Already also, the axe, unto the root of the trees, is being laid, —every tree, therefore, not bringing forth good fruit, is to be hewn down, and, into fire, to be cast.
11 Aleꞌ ia au sarani nggi endiꞌ oe, fo dadꞌi tatandaꞌ oi, hei hiruꞌ misidꞌea hela sala-kilu mara ena. Te dei fo Atahori sa manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ au nae nema. Dadꞌi akaꞌ dedꞌenun o au nda undandaa sa. Dei fo Ana tao nasofe rala mara nendiꞌ Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren. Ana o tao nggi dadꞌi meumareꞌ boe, onaꞌ atahori hotu manggarauꞌ rendiꞌ ai.
I, indeed, am immersing you, in water, unto repentance, —but, he who, after me, cometh is, mightier than I, whose, sandals, I am not worthy to bear, he, will immerse you, in Holy Spirit and fire:
12 Huu Ana toꞌu nala lalaꞌo esa isiꞌ sia rala, fo nae tai hendi etoꞌ mia isiꞌ ra. Basa fo Ana oni isiꞌ ra risiꞌ sokaꞌ rala reu, ma Ana nggari hendi etoꞌ ra risiꞌ ai mana mbilaꞌ nda mana basaꞌ sa.
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will clear out his threshing-floor, —and will gather his wheat into the granary, but, the chaff, will he burn up with fire unquenchable.
13 Leleꞌ naa, Yesus onda nema mia Galilea nisiꞌ loe Yarden. Ana nema noꞌe Yohanis Sarani Eni,
Then, cometh Jesus, from Galilee to the Jordan, unto John, —to be immersed by him.
14 te Yohanis nda nau sa. Ana nareresi nae, “Taꞌo bee fo au musi sarani Lamatuaꞌ? Nda tabalek sa, do? Lamatuaꞌ mana musi sarani au dei. Te au parlu naa!”
But, he, would have hindered him, saying—I, have, need, by thee, to be immersed, —and dost, thou, come unto me?
15 Te Yesus nataa nae, “Nda saa sa boe. Hela fo oras ia, aꞌa sarani Au. No taꞌo naa hita tungga Lamatualain hihii-nanaun.” Rena naꞌo naa ma Yohanis nataa nae, “Siaꞌ a Lamatuaꞌ.” Boe ma ana sarani Yesus.
But Jesus answering, said unto him, Suffer [me] even now, —for, thus, it becometh us, to fulfil, all righteousness; then, he suffered him.
16 Sarani basa ma, Yesus dea nema mia loe a. Aiboiꞌ ma, lalai a sii. Ma Ana nita Lamatualain Dula-dalen onda nema neu E, onaꞌ mbui lunda tee neu E.
And Jesus, having been immersed, straightway, went up from the water, —and lo! the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God, descending like a dove coming upon him;
17 Boe ma ara rena Lamatualain haran mia lalai a nae, “Eni ia, Au Ana susue ngga. Ana tao namahoꞌo Rala ngga nakandooꞌ a.”
and lo! a voice out of the heavens, —saying, This, is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I delight.
