1Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
1Pea ʻi hono hongofulu ma nima ʻoe taʻu ʻoe pule ʻa Taipiliusi Sisa, ko e ʻeiki pule ʻa Ponito Pailato ʻi Siutea, pea tuʻi ai ʻa Helota ʻi Kāleli, pea tuʻi ʻa hono tokoua ko Filipe ʻi ʻAitulia mo e feituʻu ʻo Tilakonite, pea tuʻi ʻa Lisaniasi ʻi ʻApiline,
2Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
2Pea ko ʻAnasi mo Kaiafasi ko e ongo taulaʻeiki lahi ʻakinaua, naʻe hoko ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia Sione ko e foha ʻo Sakalaia ʻi he toafa.
3And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
3Pea haʻu ia ki he potu fonua kotoa pē ʻo ofi ki Sioatani, ʻo ne malangaʻaki ʻae papitaiso ʻoe fakatomala ki he fakamolemole ʻoe angahala:
4As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
4ʻO hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ʻae ngaahi lea ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e leʻo ʻoe tokotaha ʻoku kalanga ʻi he toafa, ‘Mou teuteu ʻae hala ʻo Sihova, pea fakatonutonu hono ʻaluʻanga.
5Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
5ʻE tanu ʻae luo kotoa pē, ʻE holoki hifo ʻae moʻunga mo e tafungofunga kotoa pē; Pea ʻe fakatotonu ʻae pikopiko, Pea ʻe fakatokalelei ʻae ngaahi hala ʻoku tokatāmaki;
6And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
6Pea ʻe mamata ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki he fakamoʻui ʻae ʻOtua.’”
7Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
7Pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki he kakai kuo ʻalu ange ke nau papitaiso ʻiate ia, “ʻAe fānau ʻae ngata fekai, Ko hai ne ne valoki ʻakimoutolu ke mou puna mei he houhau ʻe haʻu?
8Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
8Ko ia mou fakahā ʻae ngaahi fua ʻoku ngali mo e fakatomala, pea ʻoua naʻa lau leva ʻi homou loto, ‘ʻOku mau tamai ʻaki ʻa ʻEpalahame:’ he ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku faʻa fai ʻe he ʻOtua ke fakatupu ʻi he ngaahi maka ni ʻae fānau kia ʻEpalahame.
9And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
9Pea ko eni foki, kuo tuku ʻae toki ki he tefito ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau: pea ko ia, ka ʻilonga ʻae ʻakau ʻoku ʻikai tupu ai ʻae fua lelei ʻe tā hifo ia , ʻo laku ki he afi.”
10And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
10Pea fehuʻi ʻae kakai kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā nai te mau fai?”
11He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
11Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ʻoku maʻu ʻae kofutuʻa ʻe ua, ke ne foaki kiate ia ʻoku ʻikai maʻu; pea ko ia ʻoku maʻu ʻae meʻa kai, ke fai pehē foki .”
12Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
12Pea haʻu foki ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau ke papitaiso, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ko e hā te mau fai?”
13And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
13Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua naʻa mou maʻu ʻo lahi ʻi he meʻa kuo tuʻutuʻuni maʻamoutolu.”
14And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
14Pea fehuʻi foki ʻe he kau tau kiate ia, ʻo pehē; “Pea ko e hā te mau fai?” Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua naʻa fai fakamālohi ki ha taha, pea ʻoua naʻa lohiakiʻi; pea mou fiemālie ʻi hoʻomou totongi.”
15And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
15Pea naʻe lolotonga ʻae ʻamanaki ʻae kakai, mo nau fifili kotoa pē ʻi honau loto kia Sione, pe ko e Kalaisi ia pe ʻikai;
16John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
16Pea lea ʻa Sione, ʻo ne pehēange kiate kinautolu kotoa pē, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou papitaiso ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae vai; ka ʻoku haʻu ʻae tokotaha ʻoku mālohi ʻiate au, pea ʻoku ʻikai taau mo au ke u vete ʻae nonoʻo ʻo hono topuvaʻe: pea ʻe papitaiso ʻaki ʻe ia ʻakimoutolu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni mo e afi:
17Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
17ʻOku ʻi hono nima ʻa hono fohe, pea te ne fakamaʻa ʻaupito hono hahaʻanga, pea ʻe ia ʻae kafukafu ʻaki ʻae afi taʻemate.”
18And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
18¶ Pea lahi ʻae meʻa kehekehe naʻa ne malangaʻaki ʻi heʻene enginaki ki he kakai.
19But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
19Ka naʻe valoki ʻe ia ʻa Helota ko e tuʻi, koeʻuhi ko Helotiasi ko e uaifi ʻo hono tokoua ko Filipe, pea mo e kovi kotoa pē ne fai ʻe Helota.
20Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
20Pea ne fakalahi ʻaki ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē, ʻa ʻene fakahū ʻa Sione ki he fale fakapōpula.
21Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
21¶ Pea kuo papitaiso ʻae kakai kotoa pē, pea pehē, ne papitaiso foki mo Sisu, pea ʻi heʻene lotu, ne matoʻo ʻae langi,
22And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
22Pea maliu hifo ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate ia ʻo hangē ko e sino ʻoe lupe, pea hoko mai mo e leʻo mei he langi, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoku ʻAlo ʻofaʻanga koe; ʻoku ou fiemālie lahi ʻiate koe.”
