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 Ni muein Anaj o Kaipaj jamero lapalap, majan en Kot ap pwara don Ioanej nain Jakariaj nan jap tan.
during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness.
3 I ari kotikot jili nan jap karoj ni kail en Iordan, padapadak duen paptaij en kalula on lapwada dip akan,
He came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for remission of sins.
4 Duen a intinidier nan puk en majan akan en jaukop Iejaia, me majani: Nil eu likelikwir jili nan jap tan: Komail kaonopada al en Kaun o, kaineneda al a!
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 Wau karoj pan audaud o nana o dol karoj pan patapatedi, o me pirok, pan inenla, o mo ululen, pan patapatela.
Every valley will be filled. Every mountain and hill will be brought low. The crooked will become straight, and the rough ways smooth.
6 Uduk karoj pan udial kamaur on Kot.
All flesh will see God’s salvation.’”
7 A ap majani on aramaj akan, me koieila, pwen paptaijla re a: Dakot, wan oter komail; ij me padaki on komail, eh piti jan ni kamakam, me kokodo?
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 Ari komail kapareda wan kalula mau. A komail depa lamelame, me komail pan indan pein komail: Nan Apraam jam atail. Pwe i indai on komail, me Kot kotin kak on wiaki on Apraam na jeri kai takai pukat.
Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance, and do not 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 Jile o mier ni tapin tuka kan. Ari, tuka karoj, me jo wa mau, pan palepaledi o lokidokila nan iai.
Even now the ax also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10 Pokon o ap idok re a indada: A da me kit en wia?
The multitudes asked him, “What then must we do?”
11 A kotin japen majani on irail: Meamen, me a jakit riau, I en ki on, me jota a. O me kan a kijin mana mia, i en wia dueta.
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 A jaunopwei kan pil pwara don i pwen paptaij, irail potoan on i: Jaunpadak, a da me kit en wia?
Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
13 A majani on irail: Komail der ale laude jan me kileledier.
He said to them, “Collect no more than that which is appointed to you.”
14 Jaunpei kan ap pil kalelapok re a indada: A da me kit en wia? A majani on irail: Komail der kaloke mal meamen, o der wia japun on meamen, a komail ale pwain omail o injenemau kila.
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 Aramaj akan lao kiki on o monemoneloleki, me Ioanej me Krijtllj,
As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Christ,
16 Ioanej ap japen majani on irail karoj: I paptaij kin komail pil, a me laude jan ia kotido muri, me i jowar on, en lapwada jal en japwilim a jut, i me pan paptaij kin komail Nen jaraui o kijiniai.
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 Tanir mi nan lim a, a pan kotin koko melel japwilim a pera, ap nekid pena wan korn nan japwilim a im en nak, a dip a pan kotin karon kila kijiniai jokun.
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 O jon toto, me a kotin panaui aramaj akan o padaki on pokon o ronamau.
Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,
19 A nanmarki Erodej, me Ioanej kapun pweki Erodiaj en ri a ol a paud, o pweki jued karoj, me Erodej wiadar,
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 Kalaudela dip a ni a jaliedi Ioanej nan imaten.
added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 A kadekadeo aramaj karoj lao paptaij elar, o Iejuj pil paptaijelar o kotin laolaoki, nanlan ap ritida,
Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized and was praying. The sky was opened,
22 O Nen jaraui kotidi don i ni mom en muroi men, o nil eu jan nanlan majani: Koe nai ol kompok, me I kin peren kida.
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.”
