2 PBCSN Imam-imam naei kaban sele Hanasle Kayafasle hebe-wote. Ralo yakama yae Zakhariale fa Yohanes a kala-kalane nekewole yae Allah a meke uwounge. BSB BSB: during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
3 PBCSN Yohanes Yordan Wi kelaeunga kanine meke nekewole, ro miyaere Allahle a huwoumi weumi, "Mai beko bakora nulu kenayembe, kelemmibombe naeise bu kona-yembe, Allah mai beko bakora faeinyenengkombe." BSB BSB: He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,
4 PBCSN Yendo kayaalo Yesaya Yohanesle naeise nda wanen moloukoke, "Ro mbai a kala-kalane ekekaenele, 'Tuhanbe nibi a hiyei ranennebo. Kalo-kalo ran-dan ijen alommi. BSB BSB: 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.
5 PBCSN Moko faufe mokonnele, nibi yeli-yeli yo alommle eleiso akoibore honate nibi ro hiyei ranen. BSB BSB: 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.
6 PBCSN Allah ro miyaere hole molommibonde nibire nda kanina kelana ro miyae nemene na ijoko yae erenate!'” BSB BSB: And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”
7 PBCSN Ro miyae Yohanes bure kommilere nekai mewate nebeibe Yohanes yae weumi, “Nda ro miyae mewaube kembene Allahlena ehee bukulu menensayembera henensombe. BSB BSB: Then John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
8 PBCSN Mayae na hele bekora nulure kembo-kembe naeise kelemmilere u mekai foi mokombe. Mayae Abrahambe orona menane wali hena bona yarongkombe naeise u benera enekemmae, rabuhine ban nda rukara Allah na hului Abrahambe orona menare mokongkonde! BSB BSB: 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.
9 PBCSN Rame kahu relahi mokainye-hake o na kambura kahenate onatere. Nane merau Allah relahi mokoungehake ani foise omokoi yo kahe-nate i ranne mo hainyate.” BSB BSB: 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.”
10 PBCSN Nebei ro miyae yae Yohanesre hinainye, “Nebei uwana rahebe meyae mokomabonde?” BSB BSB: The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”
11 PBCSN Nebeinye Yohanes yae weumi, “Nde na malo beena, ro miyae malo ban kate yore hakommile. Nane merau nde raman belena, ro miyae hiwa raman ban yore hakommile." BSB BSB: John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”
12 PBCSN Pajakre arileyate yo bele Yohanes bure kommilere mekate mo, wainye, “Guru, rahebe meyae mokoma-bonde?” BSB BSB: Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”
13 PBCSN Nebeibe Yohanes yae weumi, “Mare ukayembe hului yae mo pajak riyemmiyembe, mai kenana hului bele yae eriyeijae.” BSB BSB: “Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.
14 PBCSN Nane merau felayona ro hiwa mekate hinainye, “Meyae bae rahebe mokomabonde?” Nebeibe Yohanes yae weumi, “Ro naei miyae naei roi na mera einukeijae hele, ro miyae naei ro nendon naise eiseijae. Wali waei roi buna yae nekewende.” BSB BSB: 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.”
15 PBCSN Nda a weumikoke heera ro miyae na kena ura elate, “Nauwae nda Yohanes nebei Wali Ondofolo rakei-meyannele Kiyae niyae era?” BSB BSB: The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.
16 PBCSN Nebeibe Yohanes yae Yohanes yae weumi, "Reyae mare bu yae kamale Nekemakonde e boise reyae na hului ban, rabuhine banNaeibene reyae mende mare Allahle Roh bele, i bele yae konembe. BSB BSB: 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.
17 PBCSN Neyae ro miyae yawemmibonde Nangkele mbainye lengkonde ralone yakamane italo ranne enaibende." BSB BSB: 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.”
18 PBCSN Mehi mehi yae Yohanes ro miyaere a usaei uwoumi, foi faeu foi huwoumi. BSB BSB: With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.
19 PBCSN Nebei hee Herodes Galilea kani naei Ondofolo, na aka baekele miyae na ro Herodiasbe roukene nane merau na me hilae u hilae hiwa nekai mokowolene, Yohanes yae a usaei wasaei a elae yae horoungeboke. BSB BSB: But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,
20 PBCSN Herodes naei me u beko benen elaeibo-elaeibo hele kowolene, Yohanesre kawane heungekoke. BSB BSB: Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.
21 PBCSN Yohanes namman Herodes yae kawane eheikoi hee yae, ro miyae hiware bu kowoumi hee nane merau Yesusre koungeboke. Nebeisa Yesus Naekore ebeline bowounge mo, yaku uke raweukoke, BSB BSB: When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,
22 PBCSN Allahle Roh yakura aye merpati wanen mae Naei uwa rande kenare kawale Kelu, Weyae Raei kenare foi mokoya rae." BSB BSB: and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
