And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.

9Thabiu ne hing iriingthek shii che pha khriig rek ne ruiijong ro, iwoi wie awoi pha hingmuii shii ne zab che ne bai shii fen muii phro.”The axe lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”

13Ai è ithek shii yao, “Nathek shii chua mua pha ji è huak pha athan rabo.”“Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.

14Siphahithek è de aishii sai, “Gathek chiang shii de nyie ga? Gathek ne nyie rek chid phlei?” Ai è ithek shii yao, “Hanyie shii magunde bangchiie bang ayie rabo chiih-è gai shii biidiie athe rabo. Nawai shii nyie mua pha ji shii liingsed bo.”Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” “Do not take money by force or false accusation,” he said. “Be content with your wages.”

15Branthek è luthong pha ji ne boh rey ruii, chiih-è ithek ne Jon ne yang ne Masi ne bey rone inow.The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.
