1 Caesar Tiberius-na panba chahi taramangasuba chahida Pontius Pilate-na Judea-gi leingak mapu, Herodna Galilee-gi leingakpa amasung manaonupa Philipna Iturea amadi Trachonitis-ki leingakpa; Lysanias-na Abilene-gi leingakpa,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Amasung Annas amadi Caiaphas-na athoiba purohitlen oiringeida lamjao-lamhangda leiriba Zechariah-gi machanupa John-gi maphamda Tengban Mapuna wa ngangbirammi.
during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness.
3 Maram aduna pap kokchanabagidamak pukning hongbagi baptize lounabagi pao miyamda sandoktuna John-na Jordan turelgi akoibada leiba lam pumnamakta chatlammi.
He came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for remission of sins.
4 Masi Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichou Isaiah-gi lairikta ikhibagumbani: “Kanagumba amana lamjao-lamhangda laori: ‘MAPU IBUNGO-gi lambi thourang tou; Ibungona chatnaba lambi chumhallu!
As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.
5 Tampak khudingmak thongatkani, Ching amadi chingjao khudingmakpu temthokkani. Akhoiba lambisingbu chumhangani, Akut atong leiba lambisingbu nalhangani.
Every valley will be filled. Every mountain and hill will be brought low. The crooked will become straight, and the rough ways smooth.
6 Aduga mi pumnamakna Tengban Mapugi aran-khubham uba phangjagani.’”
All flesh will see God’s salvation.’”
7 Adudagi mangonda baptize touhannaba lakliba miyam aduda John-na hairak-i, “He lilgi chada naodasa, lakkadouriba Tengban Mapugi asaoba adudagi chennaba nakhoida kanana haibage?
He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be baptized by him, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Nakhoina paptagi pukning hongbagi matik chaba mahei yallu. Aduga ‘Eikhoigi ipa Abraham lei’ haina nakhoigi napukningda haijaganu. Maramdi, eina nakhoida hairi madudi nungsing asidagisu Tengban Mapuna Abraham-gi machasing thokhanba ngammi.
Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance, and don’t begin to say among yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father;’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!
9 Houjiksu upalsing asigi maruda singjang thaduna lei amasung aphaba mahei pandaba upal pumnamakpu kakthattuna meinungda langsingani.”
Even now the ax also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10 Maduda miyam aduna John-da hanglak-i, “Adu oirabadi eikhoina kari tougadage?”
The multitudes asked him, “What then must we do?”
11 Mahakna makhoida khumlak-i, “Phurit ani leiba mahak aduna amata phaoba leijadaba mahak aduda ama pisanu aduga chananaba chinjak leiba mahak adunasu matou adugumna tousanu.”
He answered them, “He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise.”
12 Adudagi kanggat khomba kharasu baptize lounaba laklammi amasung makhoina Johnda hanglak-i, “Oja Ibungo, Eikhoina kari tougadage?”
Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
13 Mahakna makhoida khumlak-i, “Loupham thokpa adudagi henna nakhoina louganu.”
He said to them, “Collect no more than that which is appointed to you.”
14 Adudagi lanmi kharanasu mangonda hanglak-i, “Aduga eikhoinadi kari tougadage?” Mahakna makhoida khumlak-i, “Mi kanadagisu nam-haduna sel louganu aduga kanadasu aranba maral thangjinganu. Amasung nanggi nanggi asuman aduda apenba oiyu.”
Soldiers also asked him, saying, “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages.”
15 Aduga mi pumnamakna Christtana lakkadaba adu ngaiduna leiba maramna John-bu Christta adu oigadara haina makhoigi thamoinungda hangjarammi.
As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Christ,
16 Maram aduna John-na makhoi pumnamakta hairak-i, “Einadi nakhoibu isingda baptize toubi, adubu eingondagi henna matik leiba kanagumba ama lenglakli aduga eidi Ibungo magi sandal mari louthokpa phaoba matik chade. Mahaknadi nakhoibu Thawai Asengbada amasung meida baptize toubigani.
John answered them all, “I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire.
17 Ibungona mahei marong yeipham adu sengdoktuna gehusing adubu keida peisinnaba makhutta mahakki phou-inthok paiduna leiri; adubu mahakna mahamsing adubudi mutpa naidaba meida thajingani.”
His winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
18 Aduga John-na khetnaba mawong matou kaya amada mising aduda Aphaba Pao sandoklammi amasung makhoigi lambi adu hongdoknaba thougatlammi.
Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,
19 Adubu mahakna Galilee-gi leingakpa Herod-pu manaonupa Philip-ki nupi Herodias-pu loubagidamak amasung mahakna toukhiba phattaba thabak pumnamak adugidamak cheirammi.
but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
20 Aduga Herod-na John-bu keisumsangda thamjinduna amukka henna tamthiba pap langsinjarammi.
added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Nongma John-na miyam amabu baptize touringei matamda Jisubusu baptize tourammi. Aduga Ibungona haijaringeida swarga hangdoktuna,
Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized and was praying. The sky was opened,
22 Thawai Asengbana hakchang oina khunugi mawongda Ibungogi mathakta lengtharaklammi. Aduga swargadagi khonjel amana hairak-i, “Nahak eigi nungsijaraba Ichanupani, eina nangonda yamna pelle.”
and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying “You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased.”
