1In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea
1Abele kerker Ioane, nei atker Bapataiso le, tabarki E marau abele Iudaia sumez ge,
2and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
2Kega, Ma obazgeda, abelelam kotor baselaia maike.
3This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.’”
3Abelelam E dali Isaia perofeta detager, kega, Abele kodo le ereretikri abele sumez ge, Uaba paret Opole ra gab, a dirup abara gab.
4John wore a garment of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
4Ege Ioane ra am uali kamela mus abara uak paur; abara leuer pem akerise ereger gako abele sumez isao.
5People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region around the Jordan.
5Ui bakeuare abim Ierusalema giz, gako Iudaia le uridili bakedilu Ioridano apek.
6Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
6E uiabi bapataiso Ioridano ge, a uiaba natomertare uiaba uite giz.
7But when John saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his place of baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
7E nardarare gaire Faresaio giz gako Sadukaio giz tabakeuare abim bapataisoem, E ui daratagerare, kega, Areg tabo ra omasker ae, nete uabi detomerta uaba deraret abele niai urker?
8Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance.
8Uaba turum nagri abkoreb uaba obazgeda:
9And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
9Uaba nole uabi dikiapore uaba nerkeplam, kega, Aberahama keriba aba; abelelam kaka uabi detager Ade umele depegeli baker peike ko Aberahama ra omasker.
10The axe lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
10Abele deumerupikeub tulik ikedilu maike lu giz ge; gaire lu uridili nole debe turum, E deregeir a dikri ur ge.
11I baptize you with water for repentance, but after me will come One more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
11Kaka uabi bapataiso abele ni iaueakai uaba obazger; epe nerute le kari keubu ekas E au kale kari tumge, kaka nole abkoreb tais abara teter gab; E uabi bapataiso abele Lamar Zogo, gako abele ur;
12His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
12Abara tag nagri pat, E dirup abara kon etkemed; a E ais azig metaem gaire kon nole puip kak, ege kon ra gegur E disirkilu abele ur umer kak esameilu.
13At that time Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.
13Jesu bakeamulu Galilaialam Ioridano ge Ioaneim, iauaekai E abi bapataiso.
14But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?”
14Ioane de abi daisumdalu, kega, Debele ma kari bapataiso, nako ma tabakeam karim?
15“Let it be so now,” Jesus replied. “It is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness in this way.” Then John permitted Him.
15Iesu etkalu abim, kega, Ma no bapataiso karim, abelelam abkoreb meribim bakedida gaire gelar barkak uridili; E mena abi asoli.
16As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on Him.
16Ege E Iesuim bapataiso E tegemelu nilam dasmer, ege kotor nakesmulu, E erdalu Ade ra Lamar tabu mokakalam dibadib ise emerder abi kerem ge;
17And a voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!”
17Dasmer, abele kodo mer kotorlam, kega, Kara Uerem nase ge idali, kaka au sererege abim.
