1Te vaeng tue ah tuinuem Johan ha pawk tih,
1In those days, John the Baptizer came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,
2Vaan ram a yoei coeng dongah yut uh laeh,” tila a thui.
2“Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”
3Anih tah, khosoek kah pang ol loh, “Boeipa kah longpuei saelh uh lamtah a caehlong boeih te a dueng la saii uh,” tila tonghma Isaiah loh a thui a phong te ni.
3For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, make the way of the Lord ready! Make his paths straight!”
4Johan loh kalauk kah a mul himbai te a bai tih , a haep ah maehpho cihin a naak. Tangboeng neh kohong khoitui te a buh la om.
4Now John himself wore clothing made of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
5Te vaengah Jerusalem , Judah ram boeih neh Jordan pingpang boeih tah anih taengah cet .
5Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him.
6Amih kah tholhnah te a phong uh dongah Johan loh Jordan tuiva ah a nuem uh.
6They were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
7Pharisee rhoek neh Sadducee rhoek khaw anih kah baptisma dang ham muep ha pawk uh te a hmuh . Te vaengah amih te, “Rhulthae cadil rhoek aka tawn uh kosi te rhaelrham tak ham unim nangmih aka tueng.
7But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8Te dongah yutnah neh a tiing la a thaih te saii uh.
8Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance!
9A pa Abraham om tila nangmih khui ah thui ham poek uh boeh . Khohni loh hekah lungto rhoek lamloh Abraham kah ca rhoek a thoh sak thai te nangmih taengah kan thui.
9Don’t think to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father,’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
10Thing kah a yung ah hai te a khueh oepsoep coeng tih thaih then aka thaii mueh thingkung te boeih a vung vetih hmai khuila a voeih ni.
10Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.
11Yutnah ham ni kai loh nangmih tui dongah kan nuem . Tedae Kai hnuk ah aka pawk te tah kai lakah tlung . A khokhom dul ham pataeng ka koih pawh . Anih loh nangmih te Mueihla Cim neh hmai neh n'nuem ni.
11“I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.
12Anih loh a kut dongkah rha neh amah kah canghlom te a yah vetih , a cang te khai khuila a khoem ni. Canghi te tah aka duek pawh hmai neh a tih ni,” a ti nah.
12His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.”
13Te vaengah Jesuh tah Johan mah loh nuem sak ham te Galilee lamloh Jordan la ha pawk.
13Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
14Tedae Johan loh anih te a mah tih, “Nang loh nan nuem ham te ka ngoe, dae nang te kai taengah lat na pawk,” a ti nah.
14But John would have hindered him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?”
15Tedae Jesuh loh a doo tih , “ Ng ' rhoi laeh, duengnah cungkuem loh mamih taengah a soep la a om ham tueng tangloeng coeng ,” a ti nah daengah anih te a rhoi pueng.
15But Jesus, answering, said to him, “Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed him.
16A nuem nen tah Jesuh khaw tui lamloh pahoi cet. Te vaengah anih hamla vaan te tarha ong uh tih Pathen kah Mueihla tah vahu bangla anih soah a thoeng pah te a hmuh.
16Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water: and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.
17Te phoeiah vaan lamkah ol loh, “Hetah ka capa thintlo ni, anih dongah ka lungtlun, “pahoi a ti.
17Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
