Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Annas le Caiaphas ngei hah Ochai Inlal annia. Ma zora lâia han ramchâra Zakaria nâipasal John kôma Pathien chong a juong tunga.
when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
3 Hanchu, John'n Jordan Tuidung pang revêl ramtina a se titira, “Nin sietnangei renga insîr ungla baptisma chang roi, hanchu Pathien'n nin sietnangei nangni ngâidam a tih” tiin chong a rila.
And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 Dêipu Isaiah lekhabua miziek anghan: “Ramchâra mi inkhat iniek rôl han, Pumapa lampui sin ungla, a lôna rang, A lampuingei mintûn roi.
as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths!
5 Vakuong tin minsip nîng ata, Muol, tang tin mincham nîng atih, Lampui akôi ngei mintûn nîng ata, Lampui anthir ngei minnâm nîng atih.
Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth;
6 Hanchu mitinin Pathien sanmingringna mûng an tih.”
and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
7 Hanchu, John kôm baptis chang rangin mipuingei an honga, an kôm, “Murûlngei o!” “Pathien dûk juong mintung rang renga jôk rangin tumo nangni ril?
He said therefore to the multitudes that came forth to be baptized by him, Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
8 Nin sietnangei nin insîr tatak iti nin nunchana minlang roi, Ei richibul Abraham kêng aninga ti khâi no roi, Pathien'n hi lungngei khom hih Abraham richisuonpârngei a minchang thei.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
9 Thingkung tin aruzung idêna phûr rangin reipui a om chit ani zoi. Thingkung tin mara sa ânra loi nâm chu phûrpaia meia pai nîng atih,” a tia.
And already also is the axe lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that beareth not good fruit is to be cut down, and cast into the fire.
10 Mipuingei han, “Hanchu, Imo kin tho rang ani zoi,” an tia.
And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
11 Ama'n a thuona, “Kâncholi abop a dônngeiin a dônloingei sem ungla, sâkruo a dônngeiin a dônloingei sem ngei roi” a tia.
He answered and said to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
12 Sum rusuongpungei senkhat baptisma chang rangin an honga, a kôma, “Minchupu, imo kin tho rang?” an tia.

And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
14 Râlmingei khom an honga a kôm, “Keinite imo kin tho rang?” an tia. An kôma, “Tute sum rangrâtin lâk no ungla, dikloiin mi nôn no ungla, nin loa han nin mulung minchuk roi,” a tia.
And soldiers also asked him, saying, And what must we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no one, accuse no one falsely, and be content with your wages.
15 Mipuingeiin John chungroia sabeina neiin, Messiah ai ni duoi mini tiin an mindona.
And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
16 Hanchu, John'n, “Keiman chu tuiin nangni ka baptis ngâia, keima nêka roiinpui uol mi a juong ani. Keima chu a kekok sût rang luon inhoi mu-ung. Ama han Ratha Inthieng le meiin nangni baptis a tih,” a tipe ngeia.
John answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.
17 “A jâpna rang relei a chôia, jâp a ta, butak hah sapanga thun a ta, arishi kai chu mei thi ngâiloia hâl minmang a tih,” a tia.
His winnowing-shovel is in his hand to thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
18 An om lam thûlna rang mohôknân lam tamtakin thurchi Sa a ril ngeia.
And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
19 Herod'n neinun tamtak saloi a tho pênah, a nâipa Philip lômnu Herodias lômnua a nei sikin John'n a ngoa.
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias the wife of his brother, and on account of all the evil deeds which Herod had done,
20 Ma nêka saloi uol thôn, Herod'n, John hah intâng ina a khum zoi.
added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Hanchu mipui murdi baptisma an chang zoiin, Jisua khom baptisma a changa. Chubai a tho lâitakin, invân ân onga.
And it came to pass, when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying, that the heaven was opened,
22 Pharvali angin, Ratha Inthieng a chunga a juongchuma, Invân renga chong ajuon ringa, “Ka nâipasal moroitak ni ni, na chunga ku mulung arâisân ok,” a tia.
and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in a bodily shape as a dove; and a voice came from heaven: “Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased.”
