Umatiyu 3
1 U ganiya uginome Yahaya unu zorsa anu zorsa anu ma'e, mazintize ani ja nu Yahudiya.
And in those days cometh John the Baptist, proclaiming in the wilderness of Judea,
2 Innu gusa, “Hemni, barki uvenke a sesere wa aye mamu.
and saying, 'Reform, for come nigh hath the reign of the heavens,'
3 Unu age mani Ishaya unu kurzo utize ma buni “Nimyiran nu tisa anyimo ani ja nigusa, barkana tume.
for this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, 'A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye His paths.'
4 Yahaya maturi inturunga innu subu uronkomi, matiri uzu uwa, immumare imme makene nan matu.
And this John had his clothing of camel's hair, and a girdle of skin round his loins, and his nourishment was locusts and honey of the field.
5 Anu Urshalima nan nu Yahudiya vat, nan ana ma nyanga murabi uraba udang u'urdu wa ezi ahira ame.
Then were going forth unto him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region round about the Jordan,
6 Mennu zorso uwe uraba u'urdu me, wen nubo imum izonzen iwe.
and they were baptized in the Jordan by him, confessing their sins.
7 Sa Yahaya ma ira ma Farisiyawa wan ma Sadukiyawa gwardan, wa'e zi barki a zorso we, ma gunwe “she” iwa! a verri mubuka shi isumi iruba iburu uwui ugino su eze.
And having seen many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming about his baptism, he said to them, 'Brood of vipers! who did shew you to flee from the coming wrath?
8 Wu zani katuma sa kadi bezi u him ukaba tize tasere.
bear, therefore, fruits worthy of the reformation,
9 Kati iziki amuruba mushi agi Ibrahim mani a co ushi. barki anime inboshi. Asere abari abari Ibrahim a hana in na po ageme.
and do not think to say in yourselves, A father we have — Abraham, for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise children to Abraham,
10 A' atara anyo abitem anitini nu titti. barki anime vat ulitti me sa daki wa nya ahana ariri ba, akoriko uni areki ura.
and now also, the axe unto the root of the trees is laid, every tree therefore not bearing good fruit is hewn down, and to fire is cast.
11 Mi, inmei mani inzinu zorsuzo ushi, ubuka uhim ushi, a' aname unu aye adumo am matakum innu gwardang, desa bi nyimo bukwatak umeme indake invon kiba. memani madi zorso in bibe lau won ura.
'I indeed do baptize you with water to reformation, but he who after me is coming is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to bear the sandals, he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire,
12 Utanika ura atar tume, madi visi ahira abi suya-suya lau, ma humuko bi home mawu ukere ume. ma mindin me, ma uni ura uzatu biso ma punsi.
whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather his wheat to the storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.'
13 Uganiya ugino uni Yesu ma e usuro manyanga mu Galili, maha uraba urdu ahira Yahaya, barki azorome.
Then cometh Jesus from Galilee upon the Jordan, unto John to be baptized by him,
14 Yahaya ma nyari ukarki ume, magu “misan in nyari hu uzorom, u'e ahira am?”
but John was forbidding him, saying, 'I have need by thee to be baptized — and thou dost come unto me!'
15 Ba Yesu makabirka me magu, “aca icuku anime a name, barki anime animya wuna to mincikina kadure” a' anime Yahaya ma hemme.
But Jesus answering said to him, 'Suffer now, for thus it is becoming to us to fulfil all righteousness,' then he doth suffer him.
16 Sa' azoro Yesu, ahirame ma suri a nyimo me I, Asesere awata, ma iri bibe bilau ba were both kasi bi hurbe. butu ani ce nume.
And having been baptized, Jesus went up immediately from the water, and lo, opened to him were the heavens, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him,
17 Akin na no miram azesere nigusa, “unite Mani vana um sa mahem inme. dewan in zin Inna puru arum taking.”
and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, 'This is My Son — the Beloved, in whom I did delight.'
