2 Ana knafina Anasike, Kaiafasikea mono nonte ugagota pristi netre mani'na'e. Higeno Anumzamofo kemo, vahe omani hagege kokampi Zekaraia nemofo Joninte e'ne.
during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas—the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
3 Joni'a mika Jodani rantima me'nea kaziga vano nehuno, tamagu'a rukrahe nehutma mono ti nefrenkeno, kumi tamia atreramanteno huno mono ke hu'ne.
He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
4 Kasnampa ne' Aisaia avontafepina amanage huno krente'ne, Mago vahe'mofo agerumo'a, vahe omani ka'ma kopinti kezatino, Ramo'ma esia kana retro nehuta, Agri kana azeri ante fatgo hunteho hu'ne.
As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “A voice of one calling out in the wilderness, 'Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
5 Mika keri'a antevineteta, mika agona eri agupo nehutma, kazaki nesia zantamina eri fatgo nehutma, haviza huno knare osu'nesia kantamina erintefatgo, nehinkeno,
Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be made low, and the crooked roads will be made straight, and the uneven places will be built into roads,
6 ana mika vahe'mo'za Anumzamo'ma tahokema heazana kegahaze. (Ais 40:3-5)
and all flesh will see the salvation of God.'”
7 Higeno Joni'a agrite'ma mono ti frerantesie hu'za e'naza vahe krerfamo'za anage huno zamasami'ne, Tamagra ha' osifave'mofo mofavre nagare! Aza hanigetma Anumzamofo rimpa hezampintira korera fregahaze?
So John said to the crowds who were coming out to be baptized by him, “You offspring of vipers! Who warned you to run away from the wrath that is coming?
8 E'ina hu'negu, tamagrama tamagu'ama rukrehema hu'nenutma knare tamavutmava hinkeno hago zamagu'a rukrehe hu'naze hu'za hugahaze. Tamagra agafa hutma Abrahamu'a tagri nerageho mani'ne huta osutfa hiho. Na'ankure tamagri'ma neramasmuana, Anumzamo'a amne ama haveramintetira Abrahamuna mofavrea erifore humigahie.
Therefore, produce fruits that are worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say within yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones.
9 Menina hago sasumemo'a zafa antaginaku agafafi kriri'ne, hagino anampinti'ma knare ragama reontesia zafa antagino tevefi asaga huno kregahie.
Even now the ax is set against the root of the trees. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire.”
10 Hige'za ana vahe kevumo'za Jonina anage hu'za antahige'naze. Hagi tagra na'a hugahu'ne?
Then the crowds kept asking him, saying, “What then are we to do?”
11 Hu'za antahigageno, Joni'a, zamagari kenona anage huno zamasmi'ne, azagama tare kenama ante'nesamoka, magora onte'nesimofo ome fako humio, hagi azagama ne'zama ante'nesamoka, anazanke hunka fako huzamio.
He answered and said to them, “If someone has two tunics, he should share it with a person who has none, and the one having food should do the same.”
12 Takisi zagoma zonegiza vahe'mo'zane, ti frerantegahie hu'za e'namo'zanena, Jonina anage hu'za antahige'naze. Rempi huzami nemoke, tagranena nankna hugahune?
Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
13 Agra anage huno zamasmi'ne, Kvamo'ma eriho hu'nesia kana arugateretma mago'ene zagoa zo'onkiho.
He said to them, “Do not collect more money than you have been ordered to collect.”
14 Anante mago'a sondia vahe'mo'za antahige'naze. Hagi tagaranena na'a hugahune? Hazageno Joni'a anage huno zamagrira zamasmi'ne, Vahe'mokizami zagoa tutu huzamanteta havigea hutma e'oriho. Hagi tamarimpa fru hutma mizantami eri fatgo hiho.
Some soldiers also asked him, saying, “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Do not take money from anyone by force, and do not accuse anyone falsely. Be content with your wages.”
15 Anagema hianke vahe'mo'za nentahi'za, Joninkura Kraisi hago ama e'nefi nehu'za, tare tagufa zamagesa antahi'naze.
Now as the people were eagerly expecting the Christ to come, everyone was wondering in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Christ.
16 Joni'a mika'mokizmi kenona anage hu'ne, Nagra amane tintafanteti fre'neramantoe. Hianagi magoma ne'emo'a nagrira nagatereno tusi hihamu'ane ne' egahie. Nagra amuha osu'noankina Agri aganomofo nofira katu ofegahue. Agra mono tina Ruotage Avamuteti'ene, tevereti'ene freramantegahie.
John answered by saying to them all, “As for me, I baptize you with water, but someone is coming who is more powerful than I, and I am not worthy even to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
17 Agra witi eri herahehu fokua azampi eri'no, witi hona'a hare kuma harafi nehuno, nena'a witi ante nompi eri'nenteno, hona'a vaga ore tevefi kre fanene hugahie.
His winnowing fork is in his hand to thoroughly clear off his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his storehouse. But he will burn up the chaff with fire that can never be put out.”
18 Ana huno amanahu kante, Joni'a rama'a knare antahintahi erinteno, vahera Knare Musenkea zamasami'ne.
With many other exhortations also, John preached good news to the people.
19 Hianagi Joni'a rankva ne' Herotina haviza hu'nane huno hanavetino asami'ne, na'ankure nefu nenaro rehanereno Herodiasina a' erinte'nea zanku'ene, havi avu'avazama hiazanku anagea hunte'ne.
When Herod the tetrarch had been reproved for marrying his brother's wife Herodias, and for all the other evil things that Herod had done,
20 Heroti'a mago'ene ana agofetu kefozama hu'neana, Jonina kina hunte'ne.
he added this to them all, that he locked John up in prison.
21 Maka veamo'za mono ti fretageno, Jisasi'enena mono ti freteno, nunamu nehigeno mona kafamo'a anagigeno,
Now it came about, when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized, and while he was praying, the heavens opened,
22 Ruotage Avamumo'a maho namagna huno eramino avufare emanigeno, monafinkati mago agerumo'a anage hu'ne, Mofavrenimoka tusiza hu'na Kagrikura kavesinegante'na muse hunegantoe.
and the Holy Spirit in bodily form came down on him like a dove, and a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, whom I love. I am pleased with you.”
