1 Fukkeelu at ak juróom ci nguuru Tibeer Sesaar, fekk Poñsë Pilaat yilif diiwaanu Yude, Erodd yilif diiwaanu Galile, Filib magam yilif diiwaanu Iture ak bu Tarakonit, te Lisañas yilif Abilen.
1And in the fifteenth year of the government of Tiberius Caesar — Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother, tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene —
2 Te it Anas ak Kayif nekkoon saraxalekat yu mag ya. Ca jamono jooja la kàddug Yàlla wàcc ci Yaxya, doomu Sakariya, ca màndiŋ ma.
2Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests — there came a word of God unto John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness,
3 Yaxya daldi dugg àll, bi wër dexu Yurdan gépp, di waaree nii: «Tuubleen seeni bàkkaar, ba noppi ma sóob leen ci ndox, ngir Yàlla baal leen seeni bàkkaar.»
3and he came to all the region round the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of reformation — to remission of sins,
4 Loolu lañu bind ci téereb waxi yonent Yàlla Esayi naan:«Am na baat buy xaacu ca màndiŋ ma ne:“Xàll-leen yoonu Boroom bi,jubal-leen fi muy jaar.
4as it hath been written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, `A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye His paths;
5 Nañu sëkk xur yi,maasale tund yi ak jànj yi.Yoon yi dëng ñu jubbanti leen,yi ñagas ñu rataxal leen.
5every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straightness, and the rough become smooth ways;
6 Bu ko defee bépp mbindeef dina gismucc gi Yàlla tëral.”»
6and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.`
7 Mbooloo ma daan ñëw ngir mu sóob leen ci ndox, Yaxya daan na leen wax naan: «Yéen ñi fees ak daŋar mel ni ay co! Ku leen artu ngeen daw merum Yàlla mi nar a wàcc?
7Then said he to the multitudes coming forth to be baptised by him, `Brood of vipers! who did prompt you to flee from the coming wrath?
8 Jëfeleen nag ni ñu tuub seeni bàkkaar, te bañ a nax seen bopp naan: “Nun daal doomi Ibraayma lanu,” ndaxte maa ngi leen koy wax, Yàlla man na defal Ibraayma ay doom ci doj yii.
8make, therefore, fruits worthy of the reformation, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have a father — Abraham; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise children to Abraham;
9 Sémmiñ wi tiim na reeni garab yi. Garab nag gu meññul doom yu baax, dees na ko gor, sànni ko ci safara si.»
9and already also the axe unto the root of the trees is laid, every tree, therefore, not making good fruit is cut down, and to fire it is cast.`
10 Mbooloo ma laaj ko ne: «Lan lanu war a def nag?»
10And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, `What, then, shall we do?`
11 Mu ne leen: «Ku am ñaari mbubb, nga jox menn mi ki amul. Ku am ñam itam, nga bokk ko ak ki amul.»
11and he answering saith to them, `He having two coats — let him impart to him having none, and he having victuals — in like manner let him do.`
12 Ay juutikat itam ñëw ca Yaxya, ngir mu sóob leen ci ndox; ñu ne ko: «Kilifa gi, lu nu war a def?»
12And there came also tax-gatherers to be baptised, and they said unto him, `Teacher, what shall we do?`
13 Mu tontu leen ne: «Laajleen rekk lu jaadu.»
13and he said unto them, `Exact no more than that directed you.`
14 Ay xarekat laaj nañu ko ne: «Li jëm ci nun nag?» Mu ne leen: «Buleen néewal doole kenn, jël xaalisam ci kaw ay tëkku mbaa ci seede lu dul dëgg. Waaye doylooleen li ñu leen di fey.»
14And questioning him also were those warring, saying, `And we, what shall we do?` and he said unto them, `Do violence to no one, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.`
15 Mbooloo maa ngay xaar, di séentook a laaj ci seen xel, ndax Yaxya mooy Almasi bi.
15And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ;
16 Noonu Yaxya tontu leen ñoom ñépp ne: «Man maa ngi leen di sóob ci ndox. Waaye ki ma ëpp kàttan dina ñëw te yeyoowumaa tekki ay dàllam. Kooku dina leen sóob ci Xel mu Sell mi ak safara.
16John answered, saying to all, `I indeed with water do baptise you, but he cometh who is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to loose the latchet of his sandals — he shall baptise you with the Holy Spirit and with fire;
17 Layoom mu ngi ci loxoom, ngir jéri dàgga ja, ba mu set; pepp ma dina ko def ca sàqam, waaye xatax ba dina ko lakk ci safara su dul fey mukk.»
17whose winnowing shovel [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat to his storehouse, and the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.`
18 Noonu Yaxya teg ca yeneen dénkaane yu bare, di yégal nit ña xebaar bu baax ba.
18And, therefore, indeed with many other things, exhorting, he was proclaiming good news to the people,
19 Waaye Yaxya yedd na Erodd boroom diiwaanu Galile, ndaxte dafa takkoon Erojàdd, jabaru magam, te it boole woon na ci yeneen ñaawteef,
19and Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, and concerning all the evils that Herod did,
20 ba faf tëj Yaxya kaso.
20added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison.
21 Noonu Yaxya sóob mbooloo mépp ci ndox, sóobaale it Yeesu. Bi Yeesu di ñaan nag, asamaan daldi ubbiku.
21And it came to pass, in all the people being baptised, Jesus also being baptised, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 Noonu Xel mu Sell mi daldi wàcc ci moom, yor jëmmu pitax, te baat bu jóge asamaan jib ne: «Yaa di sama Doom, ji ma bëgg; ci yaw laa ame bànneex.»
22and the Holy Spirit came down in a bodily appearance, as if a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, saying, `Thou art My Son — the Beloved, in thee I did delight.`
23 Bi Yeesu di tàmbali liggéeyam, amoon na lu war a tollu ci fanweeri at, di doomu Yuusufa ci bëti nit ñi.Te Yuusufa mooy doomu Eli,
