Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
1To naah tuinuemhaih paekkung Johan to angzoh moe, Judea praezaek thungah lok to thuih,
2And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
2anih mah, Dawnpakhuem oh: van prae loe zoi boeh, tiah thuih.
3For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
3Tahmaa Isaiah mah thuih ih lok loe, Praezaek ah kahang lok mah, Angraeng ih loklam to paroep oh, a loklamnawk to patoengh oh, tiah thuih.
4And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
4Johan loe kaengkuu hrang moihin to angkhuk moe, moihin kaengkaeh to angzaeng; anih loe pakhuh hoi khoitui to buh ah caak.
5Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
5Jerusalem, Judea prae kami hoi Jordan vapui taeng ih kaminawk boih anih khaeah caeh o,
6And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
6angmacae zaehaih taphong o pacoengah, anih mah Jordan vapui ah tuinuemhaih to paek.
7¶ But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
7Anih tuinuemhaih ahmuen ah angzo paroeai Farasi hoi Sadusinawk to a hnuk naah, anih mah nihcae khaeah, Aw pahui caanawk, angzo han koi palungphuihaih cawnhtaak ving hanah mi mah maw ang thuih o?
8Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
8Dawnpakhuemhaih athaih to athai oh:
9And think 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.
9kaicae loe pa Abraham ka tawnh o, tiah poek o hmah: kang thuih o, Sithaw mah loe hae thlungnawk hae Abraham ih caa ah angcoengsak thaih.
10And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10Vaihi loe thingkung tangzun ah caka suekcoek ah oh boeh: kahoih athaih athai ai thingkung loe pakhruk moe, hmai thungah vah boih boeh.
11I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
11Kai mah loe dawnpakhuem tuinuemhaih ni tui hoiah kang paek o: toe ka hnukah angzo kami loe kai pongah len kue, kai loe anih ih khokpanai sin han mataeng doeh kam cuk ai: anih mah loe Kacai Muithla hoi hmai hoiah tuinuemhaih na paek o tih:
12Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
12Anih loe ban ah cang hawhhaih paqa to sin ueloe, cang to kaciim ah haw tih; angmah ih cang loe tapup thungah suem ueloe, canghii loe kadueh thai ai hmai thungah va tih, tiah a naa.
13¶ Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
13To naah Jesu loe tuinuem hanah Kalili prae hoi Jordan vapui ah Johan khaeah caeh.
14But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
14Toe Johan mah angmaak pae, Kai loe nang khae ih tuinuemhaih to ka ngaih, tipongah kai khaeah nang zoh lat loe? tiah a naa.
15And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
15Jesu mah anih khaeah, Aihnik mah toenghaih boih akoepsak hanah oh pongah, vaihi loe to tiah na sah pae raeh, tiah a naa. To naah Johan mah Anih koehhaih to paroi pae.
16And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
16Jesu loe tuinuem pacoengah, tui thung hoiah angthawk tahang: khenah, anih hanah van to amongh, a nuiah kacuk, pahuu baktiah anghum tathuk, Sithaw ih Muithla to a hnuk:
17And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
17to naah van bang hoiah, Hae loe palung duek ih ka Capa ni, a nuiah paroeai kang hoe, tiah lok to angzoh.
