1Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
1Ege fifitin urut abele kerker ge, Tiberio Kaisara emeri opole, Ponotio Pilato Iudaia sirdam, Heroda ge Galilaia opole, pako Filipo ra narbet Ituria opole pako nerute ged Trakoniti, pako Lusanio Abilene opole,
2during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness.
2Ana gako Kaiafa uiaba zogo le giz, ege Iehoua ra mer abim tabakeam Ioane, Sakaria ra uerem, sumez ge.
3He came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for remission of sins.
3Epe E bakeamulu nerute apek Ioridano ge, natomertare tonar obazgeda a bapataiso, ueakai uit adem dikri;
4As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.
4Mokakalam mer detali jauali ge Isaia perofeta, kega, Abele kodo mer ereretikri sumez ge, ueakai paret Iehoua ra gab, adem dirup.
5Every valley will be filled. Every mountain and hill will be brought low. The crooked will become straight, and the rough ways smooth.
5A mitkar muimui uteb uridili, a gaire paser pako daip uridili nolea aule kak; gaire lu barbar ko barditug, pako uteb no baker ko ikeli debe gab.
6All flesh will see God’s salvation.’”
6Gaire le uridili dasmer azigmoaret Adelam.
7He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be baptized by him, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
7Ege E uiabi detaut, kega, gaire le lakub abim tabakeuare uiaba lagelag bapataiso, Mama tabo ereg ra omasker ae, nete etomeret uabim debele derser Iehoua ra urker niaiem?
8Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance, and don’t begin to say among yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father;’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!
8Debele uaba turum nagri abkoreb obazgeda, a uaba nerkep nolea dikiapore, kega, Aberahama keriba aba; abelelam kaka uabim detaut, Ade umele depegeli baker peike ko Aberahama ra omasker.
9Even now the ax also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
9Abara tulik mena ikedili lu giz ge: ese gaire lu uridili nolea turum kak, ei uaesem urem uadikri.
10The multitudes asked him, “What then must we do?”
10Ege gaire le giz abi itimerare, kega, Nalu lu ki akerare?
11He answered them, “He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise.”
11Ege E uiabim daratagerare, kega, Ese le nagri neis am uali, debele am uali kak le uaikuar; pako le nagri leuer, abkoreb ikeli mokakalam.
12Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
12Ege telona giz bakeauare abim, kega, Keriba lagelag bapataiso, Ereuerem le ae, nalu lu ki akerare?
13He said to them, “Collect no more than that which is appointed to you.”
13Epe E uiabim detaut, kega, Uaba nole au kase dikiapore lu bodomalam uabim.
14Soldiers also asked him, saying, “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages.”
14Ege uader ares le giz abi itimerare, kega, Nalu ki akerare? Epe E uiabim detaut, kega, Uaba nole urker nerute le, pako uaba nole bes mer nerute le; uaba mamoro emeri naokaili uaba bodomalam.
15As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Christ,
15Abele ged ge dekailare, gako nerkep ge uiaba dikiaporare Ioaneim, nako Keriso pedali;
16John answered them all, “I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire.
16Ege Ioane de daratagerare, kega, Kai uabi bapataiso ni ge; ia nerute le tabakeam aule kari tumge, nole abkoreb kaka detue abara teter gab mukub: E uabi bapataiso abele Lamar Zogo, gako abele ur:
17His winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
17Abara tag nagri pat, E dirup abara kon etkemed; a E ais azirig metaem gaire kon nole puip kak, ege kon ra gegur E disirkilu abele ur umer kak esameilu.
18Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,
18Uader abara gaire mer okadeskeda etomeret abele ged.
19but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
19Ege Ioane abi barditug Heroda opole, epe Herodialam Filipo ra kosker abi narbet, pako gaire lu adud Heroda ikeli;
20added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
20Ege abele lu etami okakis gaire lu uridili, E abi namarid Ioane abele au dubar meta ge.
21Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized and was praying. The sky was opened,
21Ege E bapataiso abele ged uridili, a ko Iesuim bapataiso, E esorerapare, ege abele kotor nakesmulu,
22and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying “You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased.”
22Epe abele Lamar Zogo uatabu abi tumge, abara roai mokakalam dibadib ise, ege abele kodo mer kotorlam, kega, Mama kara Uerem idali; kaka mari sererege.
