Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1In those days, John the Baptizer came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,
1In pacl sac John Baptais el tuku nu in acn mwesis in Judea ac mutawauk in luti we.
2“Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”
2El fahk, “Forla liki ma koluk lowos, tuh Tokosrai lun kusrao apkuranme!”
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!”
3John pa mwet se mwet palu Isaiah el tuh kaskaskin ac fahk, “Oasr sie pusra su wowoyak yen mwesis ac fahk, ‘Akoela soko inkanek nu sin Leum; Aksuwosyela elan fahsr kac!’”
4Now John himself wore clothing made of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
4Nuknuk lal John uh orekla ke unen camel, ac infulwal losyuki ke mwe lohl orek ke kulun kosro, ac mwe mongo nal pa locust ac honey inima.
5Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him.
5Mwet uh tuku nu yorol liki acn Jerusalem, liki acn Judea nufon, ac liki acn nukewa ma apkuran nu Infacl Jordan.
6They were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
6Elos fahkak ma koluk lalos, ac el baptaiselosla ke Infacl Jordan.
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?
7Ke John el liye mwet Pharisee ac mwet Sadducee puspis tuku nu yorol in tuh baptaisla, el fahk nu selos, “Kowos wet pwasin! Su fahk mu kowos ac ku in kaingkunla mwe keok ma God El akoo in oru?
8Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance!
8Kowos in oru ma ac ku in akkalemye lah pwaye kowos forla liki ma koluk lowos an.
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.
9Ac nimet nunku mu kowos ac ku in kaingkunla mwe keok ke kowos fahk mu Abraham pa papa matu tumowos uh. Nga fahk nu suwos lah God El ku na in eis eot inge ac ekulla nu ke tulik natul Abraham!
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.
10Tuhla uh akola tari in pakiya sak uh nwe ke oka uh. Sak nukewa ma tia oswe fahko wo, ac fah pakpuki ac sisila nu in e uh.
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.
11Nga baptaisi kowos ke kof, in akkalemye lah kowos auliyak, tusruktu el su ac tuku tukuk el ac fah baptaisi kowos ke Ngun Mutal ac ke e. Arulana yohk sripal likiyu; finne faluk lal uh nga kupansuwol in us.
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.”
12Fork in sraclik lal oasr inpaol, ac el akola in sraclik fiten wheat liki kulun wheat. El ac fah orani wheat lal nu in nien filma lal, tusruk kulun wheat uh ac fah isisyak in sie e su ac fah tiana kunla.”
13Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
13In pacl sac Jesus el tuku Galilee me nu yorol John ke Infacl Jordan tuh John elan baptaisella.
14But John would have hindered him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?”
14Tusruktu John el srike in oru Jesus elan ekulla nunkal. John el fahk, “Fal in nga pa baptaisla sum uh, a kom tuku nu yuruk!”
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.
15Tuh Jesus El fahk, “Pwaye, tuh ke pacl se inge oru oana nga fahk. Ke lumah se inge kut ac akfalye ma nukewa ma God El enenu in orekla uh.” Ouinge John el insese nu kac.
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.
16Tukunna Jesus El baptaisla ah, el otyak liki kof uh. Na ikakla acn inkusrao nu sel ac el liye Ngun lun God oatume oana sie wuleoa ac tuhwi facl.
17Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
17Na sie pusra inkusrao me fahk, “El inge Wen kulo nutik, su nga insewowo kacl.”
