Now in the fifteenth year of the rule of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being ruler of Judaea, and Herod being king of Galilee, his brother Philip king of the country of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias king of Abilene,
2 ac Annas ac Caiaphas eltal mwet Tol Fulat. In pacl se inge pa kas lun God tuku nu sel John, wen natul Zechariah, ke el muta yen mwesis.
When Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the waste land.
3 Ouinge John el fufahsryesr in acn nukewa su oan apkuran nu ke Infacl Jordan, ac oru luti lal we, ac fahk, “Kowos auliyak ac baptaisla, na God El fah eela ma koluk lowos.”
And he came into all the country round about Jordan, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.
4 Oana ma simla in book lal Isaiah mwet palu: “Sie pusra wowoyak yen mwesis ac fahk, ‘Kowos akoo inkanek lun Leum, Ac aksuwosye Elan fahsr kac!
As it says in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight.
5 Infahlfal nukewa ac fah nwekyukla, Ac eol ac tohktok nukewa ac fah akfwelyeyuk. Inkanek kururu ac fah aksuwosyeyuk, Ac innek siruprup fah akfwelyeyuk.
Every valley will be lifted up, and all the mountains and hills made low, and the twisted will be made straight, and the rough ways smooth;
6 Mwet nukewa fin faclu ac fah liye molela sin God me!’”
And all flesh will see the salvation of God.
7 Un mwet puspis som nu yorol John in tuh baptaisla sel. El fahk nu selos, “Kowos wet pwasin! Su fahk mu kowos ac ku in kaingkunla mwe keok ma God El akola in supwama uh?
So he said to the people who went out to him for baptism: You offspring of snakes, at whose word are you going in flight from the wrath to come?
8 Oru ma ac akpwayei lah kowos forla liki ma koluk lowos an. Ac nimet sifacna nunku mu Abraham el papa tomowos. Nga fahk nu suwos lah God El ku na in eis eot inge ac ekulla nu ke tulik natul Abraham!
Make clear by your acts that your hearts have been changed; and do not say to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children of Abraham.
9 Tuhla uh akola tari in pakiya sak uh nwe ke oka uh. Sak nukewa ma tia oswe fahko wo uh ac fah pakpuki ac sisila nu in e uh.”
And even now the axe is put to the root of the trees; and every tree which does not have good fruit will be cut down and put into the fire.
10 Na mwet uh siyuk sel, “Na mea kut ac oru?”
And the people put questions to him, saying, What have we to do?
11 El topuk ac fahk, “Kutena mwet su oasr nuknuk luo lal, lela elan sang sie lun el su wangin la, ac kutena mwet su oasr mwe mongo yorol, lela elan sang kutu nun mwet ma wangin ma nac.”
And he made answer and said to them, He who has two coats, let him give to him who has not even one; and he who has food, let him do the same.
12 Kutu mwet eisani tax elos tuku in wi baptaisla, ac elos siyuk sel, “Mwet Luti, ac kut — mea kut in oru?”
Then tax-farmers came to him for baptism and said to him, Master, what have we to do?
13 El fahk nu selos, “Nimet eis tax yohk liki lupa ma oakwuki ke ma sap an.”
And he said to them, Do not make an attempt to get more money than the right amount.
14 Ac kutu mwet mweun elos oayapa siyuk sel, “Ac kut — mea kut ac oru?” El fahk nu selos, “Nimet eisla mani sin kutena mwet ke funmwet, ku orek loh kikiap lain mwet. Kowos in falkinna molin orekma lowos an.”
And men of the army put questions to him, saying, And what have we to do? And he said to them, Do no violent acts to any man, and do not take anything without right, and let your payment be enough for you.
15 Mutawauk in yokelik finsrak lun mwet uh kacl John lah acnu el pa Messiah.
And while the people were waiting, and all men were questioning in their hearts about John, if he was the Christ or not,
16 Ouinge John el fahk nu selos nukewa, “Nga baptaisi kowos ke kof, tusruktu oasr sie su ac fah tuku, su arulana fulat ac ku likiyu. Nga kupansuwol in tulala ah losyen fahluk lal ah. El ac fah baptaisi kowos ke Ngun Mutal ac e.
John made answer, saying to them all, Truly, I give you baptism with water, but one is coming who is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:
17 Fork in sraclik lal oasr inpaol, ac el akola in sraclik fiten wheat liki kulun wheat. El ac fah orani wheat lal nu in nien filma lal. Tusruktu kulun wheat uh ac fah isisyak in sie e su ac fah tiana kunla.”
In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned in the fire which will never be put out.
18 In lumah puspis John el fahkak Pweng Wo nu sin mwet uh, ac kwafe nu selos in ekulla ouiyen moul lalos.
And so comforting them with these and other words, he gave the good news to the people;
19 Tusruktu John el kael Herod, su leumi Galilee, mweyen el payukyak sel Herodias, mutan se kien tamulel lal, ac oru pac kain koluk puspis saya.
But Herod the king, because John had made a protest on account of Herodias, his brother's wife, and other evil things which Herod had done,
20 Na Herod el eisalang John nu in presin, su koluk liki na ouiya ma el oru meet ah.
Did this most evil thing of all, and had John shut up in prison.
21 Tukun mwet nukewa baptaisla tari, Jesus el oayapa baptaisla. Ke pacl se el pre ah, kusrao ikakla,
Now it came about that when all the people had been given baptism, Jesus, having had baptism with them, was in prayer, when, the heaven being open,
22 ac Ngun Mutal tuhwi nu facl oana luman sie wuleoa. Ac sie pusra tuku inkusrao me ac fahk, “Kom Wen kulo nutik. Nga arulana insewowo sum.”
The Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove, and a voice came from heaven, saying, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.
