Matiyu 3
1 Na yiri ane Yohanna unan Shitizinu nanit nmyen wa dak adin bellu nliru ntucu nan nya ntene in Yahudiya a woro,
In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
2 “Sunan alapi, bara kipin tigo Kutellẹ nda duru.”
And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
3 Bara amere ulele ulenge na iwa bellin ubelen me nnu Ishaya unan liru nin nuu Kutellẹ, a woro, “Liwui umong din yiccu nan nya ntene, 'Kelen libau ncikilari, kelen ulin mine nan-ghe.'”
For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of YHWH, make his paths straight.
4 Imon kidowo in Yohanna wa di kukpa kuron komiari a likpa na liwa terin kutino me. Imonli me wa di acin ni titong.
And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
5 Anan Urushalima, nin Yahudiya a vat nigbiri nkilinu kurawan urdun wa nuzu idọ kitime.
Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
6 Awa shintu nani nan nyan nmyen kurawan urdun, a icin bele alapi mine.
And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
7 Kube na awa yene liigo na Farisawa nin na Saddukiyawa ucinfak kitime a shintu nani nmyen, a woro nani, “Anung kumat niyii timung, gharin wunung minu atuf ina ni din cum kiti tinana nayi na ti din ciinu?
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Nutunong kumat ko na ku batiina usunuu na lapi.
Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
9 Ana iwa kpiliza i woro nan nya mine, 'Tidi nin Ibrahim ucif bit.' Bara ndin belu minu Kutellẹ wasa ana Ibrahim ku nnan nono ko kiti na tala alele.
And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that Elohim is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
10 Nene imali ciu gidowo litino naca. Vat kuca kongo na ku mara kumat kucine ba ima kowu kunin iti kunin nan nya nla.
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
11 Meng din shintu minu nmyen i sun alapi mine. Ame ulenge na adin cinu kidun nighe a di nin likara a katini, na meng wang batin in yaun akpatak me ba. Ame ma shintu minuu nin Ruhu Ulau a ula.
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:
12 Ku puruk me di nacara me, ama shintulu a nutun alkama nan nya kusheri lan, ama nin ciu alkame nan nya filai. Nani ama nin juju kusheri nin la ule na uma so ubico ba.”
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
13 Yisa tunna a fita a da kurawan urdun unuzun in Galili kitin Yohanna ada shintin ghe nmyen.
Then cometh Yahushua from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
14 Ame Yohanna ta usu nworo a nantinghe, a woro, “Meng din piziru fe shintini nmyen, fe uni nna da kiti nigha?”
But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
15 Yisa kpana a woro ghe, “Yinna nani nene, bara udi gegeme kiti bite tikulo katwa kacine vat.” Yohanna yinnin ghe mun.
And Yahushua answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
16 Kimal nshintin ghe kule, Yisa nuzu nan nyan nmyene mas, na nin molu kubi ba, i punghe kitene kani. A yene Uruhu Kutellẹ utolu kadas nafo kuwullung udak kitime.
And Yahushua, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of Elohim descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
17 Itunna liwui nuzu kitene Kutellẹ liworo, “Ggono nsu kibinai Nighari kane. Ndin lanzu mmang me kang.”
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
