< Matthew 3 >

1 In those days, Yochanan the Immerser came, proclaiming in the wilderness of Judea, saying,
ANNISTS'ISK ksĭstsiku'ĭstsk John Baptist ito'to Judæa istoksĭs'tapiksŏkkui, itŭs'-ksĭnimatstokiu,
2 “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”
Ki an'iu sauai'tsitak, spots'im ĭstsĭn'naiisĭnni aststsiu'.
3 For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, make the way of the Lord ready! Make his paths straight!”
Am'auk annŏk' matap'piuŏk Isaiah prophet an'iu Nitsităppiuă ksĭstapitauosĭnim sokse'puyiu, Sŭppoatsĭstotokh'sattoat Nin'a oksokui, oksoku'ĭsts mokŏm'otstsĭsests.
4 Now Yochanan himself wore clothing made of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
Ki John, Camel oku'yĭsts, itsĭs'totosiu, ki ĭstsikŏp'okui itsep'siu; ki otso'ŏssĭnĕsts tsikatsix ki namap'iniu.
5 Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him.
Jerusalem istokŏnai'tappix otokŏnitota'akax, ki Judæa ĭstokŏnai'tappix, ki Jordan ĭstauŏssĭn'im ĭstokŏnai'tappix mat'okŏnitautaakax.
6 They were immersed by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
Ki nie'tŭktai Jordan (an'istop), otsĭt'ŭstapinopiax, ki otsauum'itsitappiisuĕsts aiinŭp'anĭstomiauĕsts.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his immersion, he said to them, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Ki otsinno'ŏssax otas'taaiĭssax akai'tappiiax Pharisees ki Saducees, otsittŭp'auauŏkŏssax otsĭtŭsta'pĭnŭkipi, an'ĭstsiuax, Pĭtseksĭnau'kosix, tŭkka' kĭtan'ikoau kŏkanĭstŭpĭstŭpiksatossuai annik' ĭstse'tŭksĭnik astai'tsiik?
8 Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance!
Ai'sŭsksattok matsiĭn'ĭsts mŏk'itanĭstosi kĭtsauai'tsitani:
9 Don’t think to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father,’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
Pini'tsitsiikasik kĭtsitsi' tanauĕsts kok'kĭtŭnĭssuai Kĭn'un Abrahami; kitan'ĭstopuau Ap'ĭstotokiua, am'oxim okotokix ikotsĭstauatomoaiau Abraham pokax.
10 Even now the axe lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.
Kiannok' kŏts'eksĭsts kaxa'kin itsipo'toau: kŏnai'ĭstsĭs saiĭnasĭssi ak'aikakiaiau ki ak'aututsaiau.
11 “I indeed immerse you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.
Okke' kimut'sĭtŭstapĭnopuau kŏkkĭtsisauai'tsitasuai: apatots'ĭk annŏk' ai'aksakootoŏk aiĭs'skunitapsiu, nimatsĭkŏkokotopa'tomoauats matsikĭsts': Ostoi' kimutak'ĭstapĭnokoau Atsĭm'istaaw ki ĭs'tsi:
12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.”
Ose'kotŭkkiatsĭs ai'ĭnĭmaie, kiaupŭx'ĭxtoxixi otsĭt'aisuisuitsipĭk'iakipi aiaksokapse'maie, osos'tsipĭkiapioyĭs aiakitsĭptsĭpotomĕsts otapaiĕn'ĭnsĭmmanĭsts; ki ĭstotox'ksiĭsts ĭstsi'i matakatsiu'ats ai'aketsĭnsimĕsts.
13 Then Yeshua came from Galilee to the Jordan to Yochanan, to be immersed by him.
Jesus Galilee itŭm'aumatto, Jordani nie'tŭktai ito'to, John mŏkitsĭstapĭniĭsaie.
14 But Yochanan would have hindered him, saying, “I need to be immersed by you, and you come to me?”
Ki John paiau'tsimĭuaie, ki otan'ikaie, ksĕsto'a ĭs ta' pĭn o kĭt, kitaketak'sipuksipat to kŏkokotsĭs'tapĭnnŏksi, ki kumauksipuksipaakĭks?
15 But Yeshua, answering, said to him, “Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfil all righteousness.” Then he allowed him.
Jesus an'ĭstsiuaie pokĭtse'tsĭt annok': nŏks'ĭstutsĭsĭnan mokŏm'motsitappiisĭnni. Itŭmipaio'kĭts etomoyiuaie.
16 Yeshua, when he was immersed, went up directly from the water: and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.
Ki Jesus aiĭs'tapĭnnŏssi, itopĭtsĭssoa'tomaie okke': ki, sat'sĭk, spots'im kau'opiu, ki nan'nuyiuaie Ap'ĭstotokiua otatsĭm'istaaw itutui'sŭpĭnŭmaie sĭstsi'i itsĭnauŭni'ĭnai, ki itokhitopi'ĭnai:
17 Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
Ki, satsik, epo'awsĭnni spots'im itunni'u amok'auk nĭtŭk'omĭmokoa, nitsekŏkh'sĭmau.
