Matthew 3
1 And in those days cometh John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judæa, saying,
Hiche nikho lai chun Twilutsah John chu Judea gamthip'a ahung in chule thu aseiphong in athupoh chu,
2 Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
“Nachonset nau dalha uvin chule Pathen lam a hung ki heiyun, ijeh inem itileh Van gam anaitai” ati.
3 For this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.
Themgao Isaiah chun John chung chang hitin ana seiye, “Ama hi gamthip'a khosam aw chu ahi, Pakai hung nading lampi sem un, Ama ding in lampi theh ngim un” ati.
4 Now John himself had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
John kivon na chu sangongsang mul kikhui ahin, chule akong kimvel achun savun konggah akigah in, chule khaokho le gamkhoiju chu an in anen ahi.
5 Then went out unto him Jerusalem, and all Judæa, and all the region round about the Jordan;
Mihonpi chu Jerusalem kimvel le Judea gam chule Jordan phaicham kimvela kon in, John ve ding le athusei ngaiya hung ahiuve.
6 and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
Chuin amahon achonset nau aphongdoh un, Jordan vadunga chun aman amaho chu baptize achansah in ahi.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Ahinlah aman Pharisee ho le Sadducee ho chu baptize chansah vea ahungu amun, amaho chu asosal in, “Nangho gul chilhah ho, Pathen lung hanna hung lhung dinga kon jam dohna dinga koiham nagih uva?
8 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance:
Nachonset nauva kon'a nalung heiyu chule Pathen lam nangat'u chu, aphot chenna na hinkho uva tahlang un.
9 and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
Nangho khat in khat komah, ‘eiho Abraham chilhah ihiuvin, huhbit in um nau hite’ tin kisei pehto hih un. Hichu imacha ahipoi, ajeh chu kaseipeh nahiuve, Pathen in hiche songchang ho lah a kon a hi Abraham chate asemdoh thei ahi.
10 And even now the axe lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Tu jenga jong Pathen thu tanna heicha koisa a uma, thingphung ajung geiya kaldoh dia gonsa ahitai. Thingphung gapha hin sodoh lou jouse chu kiphuh lhu ding chule meilhum sunga kilehlut ding ahi.
11 I indeed baptize you in 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 in the Holy Spirit and [in] fire:
Achonsetna a kon'a lungheiya chule Pathen lam'a hung kihei ho chu, keiman twiya baptize kachansah ahi. Hinlah keima sanga gamchenga lenjo chu ahunge; keima hi ama soh, akeng chot choi dinga jong chu kilom kahi poi.
12 whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
Aman changtah'a kona changsi khendoh dinga agodal akichoiya asep dia kigosa um ahi. Chule aman achangphol kimvel chu asuh theng'a changtah chu achang pang'a akhumlut ding, hinlah changsi chengse vang chu mei mit theilou meikong'a kilehlut ding ahi,” ati.
13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
Chutah in Yeshua chu Galilee a kon in, Jordan luiya John in baptize achansah ding in agachen ahi.
14 But John would have hindered him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
Hinlah John chun ana janom hihbeh in, “Keima hi nangman baptize nei chansah dia kiloma kahi, i-atileh kei koma hunga nahim,” ati.
15 But Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer [it] now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffereth him.
Hinlah Yeshuan aseiyin, “Hiche hi bol dinga lom ahi, ajeh chu Pathen in angeh jouse iboldoh tei ding ahi,” ati. Hiti chun John in Ama chu baptize achansah tai.
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway from the water: and lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him;
Baptize achan jouva Yeshua twi lah'a kona ahung potdoh pet in, vanho chu Ama ding in ahung kihong doh in, chule Pathen Lhagao chu vakhu tobanga ahung kumsuh a chule achung'a aumden chu amun ahi.
17 and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Chuin van'a kon aw khat in, “Hiche hi Ka Chapa dei umtah le ngailut umtah, kipana sangpen eipea chu ahi,” tin aseiye.
