Mateo 3
1 Bada dembora hartan ethor cedin Ioannes baptista, predicatzen çuela Iudeaco desertuan:
NOW in those days came Juchanon the Baptizer preaching in the desert of Jehud,
2 Eta cioela, Emenda çaitezte: ecen ceruètaco resumá hurbil da.
and saying, Repent! the kingdom of heaven hath drawn nigh.
3 Ecen haur da Esaias Prophetáz erran içan cena, cioela, Desertuan oihuz dagoenaren voza da, Appain eçaçue Iaunaren bidea, çucen itzaçue haren bidescác.
For this is he of whom it was spoken by Eshaia the prophet: The voice which crieth in the desert, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths plain.
4 Ioannes hunec bada çuen bere abillamendua camellu biloz, eta larruzco guerricoa bere guerruncean inguru: eta haren viandá cen othiz eta bassa eztiz.
But this Juchanon, his clothing was of the hair of camels, with a loins-belt of leather upon his loins; and his food was locusts and wilderness-honey.
5 Orduan ethor cedin harengana Ierusaleme eta Iudea gucia, eta Iordanaren inguruco comarca gucia.
Then went forth to him Urishlem, and all Jehud, and the whole country about Jurdan;
6 Eta batheyatzen ciraden harenganic Iordanean, bere bekatuac confessatzen cituztela.
and were baptized of him in Jurdan, the river, while they were confessing their sins.
7 Ikussiric bada anhitz Phariseuetaric eta Sadduceuetaric ethorten ciradela haren baptismora, erran ciecén, Vipera castá, norc auisatu çaituzte hira ethortecoari ihes daguioçuen?
But when he saw many of the Pharishee and Zodukoyee coming to be baptized, he said to them, Generation of vipers, who hath showed you to escape from the wrath that cometh?
8 Eguin itzaçue bada fructuac emendamenduaren digneac.
Work, therefore, fruits which are suitable to repentance.
9 Eta ezteçaçuela presumi ceuroc baithan erraitera, Abraham dugu aita: ecen badiotsuet, Iaincoac harri hautaric-ere Abrahami haour suscita ahal dieçaqueola.
Neither ruminate and say within yourselves, that Abraham is father to us; for I say to you that Aloha is able from these stones to raise up sons unto Abraham.
10 Bada ia aizcorá arborén errora eçarria da: beraz arbore fructu onic eguiten eztuen gucia piccatzen da eta sura egoizten.
But, behold, the axe lieth at the root of the trees; every tree, therefore, which maketh not good fruit is cut down and falleth into the fire.
11 Eguia da, nic batheyatzen çaituztet vrez emendamendutara: baina ene ondoan ethorten dena, ni baino borthitzago da, ceinen çapatén ekarteco ezpainaiz digne: harc batheyaturen çaituzté Spiritu sainduaz eta suz.
I, indeed, baptize you with water unto repentance; but He who cometh after me is mightier than I; he, whose sandals I am not worthy to bear, -he baptizeth you with the Spirit of Holiness and with fire.
12 Bere bahea bere escuan du, eta garbituren du bere larraina: eta bilduren du bere oguibihia granerera: baina lastoa choil erreren du behinere hiltzen ezten suan.
He (it is) whose fan is in his hand, and, purifying his floors, the wheat he gathereth into his garner, but the chaff he burneth with the fire that is not quenched.
13 Orduan ethor cedin Iesus Galileatic Iordanera Ioannesgana, harenganic batheya ledinçát.
Then came Jeshu from Galila unto Jurdan to Juchanan to be baptized of him.
14 Baina Ioannesec haguitz empatchatzen çuen hura, cioela, Nic behar diat hireganic batheyatu, eta hi ethorten aiz enegana?
But Juchanon prohibited him, and said, I need from thee to be baptized, and hast thou come unto me?
15 Eta ihardesten çuela Iesusec erran cieçón, Vtzac oraingotz: ecen hunela complitu behar diagu iustitia gucia. Orduan vtzi ceçan eguitera.
But Jeshu answered and said unto him, Permit now; for thus it becometh us to accomplish all righteousness. And then he permitted him.
16 Eta Iesus batheyatu cenean, bertan ilki cedin vretic: eta huná, irequi içan çaizcan ceruäc, eta ikus ceçan Iaincoaren Spiritua vsso columba baten guissán iausten eta haren gainera ethorten
But when Jeshu was baptized, he immediately ascended from the waters; and the heaven was opened unto him; and he saw the Spirit of Aloha, who descended, like the dove, and came upon him.
17 Eta huná vozbat cerutic, cioela, Haur da ene Seme maitea, ceinetan neure atseguin ona hartzen baitut.
And, lo, the voice from heaven, which said, This (is) my Son, the Beloved, in whom I have delighted.
