1Y mina quinse na año gui tiempo anae si Tiberio Sesat jagobietna, ya si Ponsio Pilato, güiya magalaje guiya Judea; ya si Herodes, güiya magalaje tetrarca guiya Galilea; ya y cheluña as Felipe, güiya magalaje tetrarca guiya Iturea yan y ya tanon Traconite; ya si Lisanias, güiya magalaje tetrarca guiya Abilinia;

1In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

2Ya y dangculo na mamale si Annas yan si Caefas, este na tiempo , mato y sinangan Yuus gui as Juan, lajin Sacharias, gui jalomtano.

2during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

3Ya güiya mato gui todo y tano gui oriyan Jordan, jasesetmon y managpang en sinetsot para y maasiin isao.

3He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

4Taegüije esta matugue gui leblo ni y sinangan y profeta Isaias, na ilegña: Inagangña ni y umaagang gui jalomtano: Famauleg y chalan y Señot, y cayejonña natutunas.

4as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.

5Todo y finacañada umanafanbula, yan todo y tano boca yan y manloca na ogso umanafanagpapa; yan y manechong umanafanunas, yan y chalan farangca unamafanyano.

5Every valley shall be filled in, and every mountain and hill made low. The crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.

6Ya todo y catne ulie y satbasion Yuus.

6And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”

7Enaomina ilegña ni y linajyan taotao na manmato para ufanmatagpange pot güiya: Rasan culebla, jaye jamyo fumanagüe na insuaye y binibo ni y mamamaela?

7Then John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

8Chile tinegchanmiyo ni y magajet na sinetsot, ya chamiyo insigue di sumasangan nu jamyoja: Guaja tatanmame si Abraham; sa jusanganejamyo na siña, si Yuus güine gui acho janafangajulo y famaguon Abraham.

8Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance. And do not begin 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.

9Ya pagoja y gachae gaegueja gui jale y trongcon jayo sija: todo y trongcon jayo na ti mauleg tinegchañija, umautut ya umayute gui guafe.

9The 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.”

10Ya y linajyan taotao mafaesen güe ya ilegñija: Pues jafajam infatinas?

10The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”

11Ya manope, ilegña nu sija: Y guaja dos magaguña, unae y taya iyoña: ya y guaja naña ufatinas taegüijija.

11John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”

12Ya manmato locue y publicano sija para ufanmatatagpange, ya ilegñija: Maestro jafa infatinasjam?

12Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”

13Ya ilegña nu sija: Chamiyo gumagagao mas ni y esta jamyo manmatago.

13“Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.

14Ya mafaesen güe locue nu y sendalo sija, ilegñija: Ya jame, jafajam infatinas? Ya mansinangane: Chamiyo mumatratrata ni jaye ni infanmanchiguit, ya magof jamyo nu y apasmiyo.

14Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” “Do not take money by force or false accusation,” he said. “Be content with your wages.”

15Ya y taotao sija jananangga ya manmanjajajaso todo sija as Juan gui corasonñija, cao güiya si Jesucristo.

15The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.

16Manope si Juan ya ilegña nu todosija: Guajo magajet managpapange jamyo an janom; lao mamamaela uno na mas gaeninasiña qui guajo, ya ti siña yo manmerese na jupula y coreas y sapatosña: güiya managpapange an Espiritu Santo yan guafe.

16John answered all of them: “I baptize you with water, but One more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

17Ya abanicuña gaegueja gui canaeña para unagasgas y guinecoña, ya janafandaña y trigo gui camalenña; lao usonggue y ngasan gui guafe ni ti siña upuno.

17His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

18Ya mamagat megae na sinangan ya japredica y taotao sija ni ibangelio.

18With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.

19Lao si Herodes, ayo magalaje tetrarca, linalatde as Juan, pot si Herodias, asaguan y cheluña as Felipe, yan pot todo y tinaelaye sija ni jafatinas si Herodes,

19But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,

20Ya jafatinas este mas taelaye qui todo, ya maponggle si Juan gui catset.

20Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.

21Ya susede, anae todo y taotao manmatagpange, si Jesus locue matagpange; ya anae manaetaegüe, mababa y langet;

21When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

22Ya tumunog gui jiloña y Espiritu Santo na gaejechuraña calang paluma, ya mato un inagang guine y langet na ilegña: Jago y lajijo ni juguaeya; iyajago nae gaegue minagofjo.

22and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
