4Masi Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichou Isaiah-gi lairikta ikhibagumbani: “Kanagumba amana lamjao-lamhangda laori: ‘MAPU IBUNGO-gi lambi thourang tou; Ibungona chatnaba lambi chumhallu!as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.

5Tampak khudingmak thongatkani, Ching amadi chingjao khudingmakpu temthokkani. Akhoiba lambisingbu chumhangani, Akut atong leiba lambisingbu nalhangani.Every valley shall be filled in, and every mountain and hill made low. The crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.

6Aduga mi pumnamakna Tengban Mapugi aran-khubham uba phangjagani.’ ”And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”

Maramdi, eina nakhoida hairi madudi nungsing asidagisu Tengban Mapuna Abraham-gi machasing thokhanba ngammi.Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance. 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.

9Houjiksu upalsing asigi maruda singjang thaduna lei amasung aphaba mahei pandaba upal pumnamakpu kakthattuna meinungda langsingani.”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.”

10Maduda miyam aduna John-da hanglak-i, “Adu oirabadi eikhoina kari tougadage?”The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”

11Mahakna makhoida khumlak-i, “Phurit ani leiba mahak aduna amata phaoba leijadaba mahak aduda ama pisanu aduga chananaba chinjak leiba mahak adunasu matou adugumna tousanu.”John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”

13Mahakna makhoida khumlak-i, “Loupham thokpa adudagi henna nakhoina louganu.”“Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.

14Adudagi lanmi kharanasu mangonda hanglak-i, “Aduga eikhoinadi kari tougadage?” Mahakna makhoida khumlak-i, “Mi kanadagisu nam-haduna sel louganu aduga kanadasu aranba maral thangjinganu. Amasung nanggi nanggi asuman aduda apenba oiyu.”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.”

15Aduga mi pumnamakna Christtana lakkadaba adu ngaiduna leiba maramna John-bu Christta adu oigadara haina makhoigi thamoinungda hangjarammi.The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.

16Maram aduna John-na makhoi pumnamakta hairak-i, “Einadi nakhoibu isingda baptize toubi, adubu eingondagi henna matik leiba kanagumba ama lenglakli aduga eidi Ibungo magi sandal mari louthokpa phaoba matik chade. Mahaknadi nakhoibu Thawai Asengbada amasung meida baptize toubigani.John answered all of them: “I baptize you with water, but One more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

17Ibungona mahei marong yeipham adu sengdoktuna gehusing adubu keida peisinnaba makhutta mahakki phou-inthok paiduna leiri; adubu mahakna mahamsing adubudi mutpa naidaba meida thajingani.”His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

18Aduga John-na khetnaba mawong matou kaya amada mising aduda Aphaba Pao sandoklammi amasung makhoigi lambi adu hongdoknaba thougatlammi.With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.

19Adubu mahakna Galilee-gi leingakpa Herod-pu manaonupa Philip-ki nupi Herodias-pu loubagidamak amasung mahakna toukhiba phattaba thabak pumnamak adugidamak cheirammi.But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,

20Aduga Herod-na John-bu keisumsangda thamjinduna amukka henna tamthiba pap langsinjarammi.Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.

21Nongma John-na miyam amabu baptize touringei matamda Jisubusu baptize tourammi. Aduga Ibungona haijaringeida swarga hangdoktuna,When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

22Thawai Asengbana hakchang oina khunugi mawongda Ibungogi mathakta lengtharaklammi. Aduga swargadagi khonjel amana hairak-i, “Nahak eigi nungsijaraba Ichanupani, eina nangonda yamna pelle.”and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a bodily form like a dove.
