2Annas a Caiaphas inaiurgąndu dadjurdŋąrandu, ŋąla-ŋąla God anąŋga kunjąŋgunaldąga John Zacharias iŋko:lu bundul' dąnja.during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

3Aua mamurkalal tḁmbium mararawum wo:ri mo:neri Jordan, ardi:um kululeri baptism kuluŋąn kunja, umąra wai wunja;He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

4Kądjinu wiri-wiri kauwi:ŋu mili-mili nąnja ŋąla-ŋąla Isaiah tjo:lbąda anąŋga, Ŋąla-ŋąla iḁruŋ jero:l gejiri bundul' dąnja, Brar wuriŋuru kalumba Inaiuri anąŋga, Tjuwąlja anąŋgaia tjḁdąŋuru arandjunuru;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.

5Mąŋuraim mararawum kąlabu pitja meniŋaie, Taląmban, kurandu darawa, waiuru pitja njḁniŋaie; Wunkoli-koli tjḁdąŋuru pitja njąnu, Arkwiangaia kalumba wongąląlum pitja arąnu,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.

6Arwiliria ardarawaia umundulbaie God anąŋga pitja mąra pąro:.And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”

7Gewunja kundjuŋąnąŋgori peleŋgąraia iŋgadburkalal baptize ąŋgandjui:ŋu wunja aua nanja, Njiri kauauilaia kauanja ŋąria, ąŋguja njiniiŋgundąla wuraraiu wundji:la kengal?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?

8Gewunja bḁri iraiąnda kurab kuluŋan inia wunja; wa piriiri njirge wurura nąnja, Ḁri kudai Abraham irai; kuŋenuri God gole bari puŋgaianda kaiug wuna nąnja woŋąlaląŋuja Abraham wunja.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.

9Weni ŋadjura kandieŋu ŋuwonu wondudba nąnja; gewunja ŋuwonu darawa kurab inia wa bḁri pąŋgaiąndąn ŋąri, dur kumbi:ŋu, wia' nąnja kundjąbienu.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.”

10Gejau peleŋgąraia burkai kaueriąbuna, kubądjuŋiri, Nani kundjedju?The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”

11Aua kandjo:lbąla, kundjuŋanąŋgori, Aua wobi iaruŋandu kudai, kąno:nja aua ino:ra, aua mąŋąri kudai kądjinu kundji:nja.John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”

12Kaiug-ŋąria kuda: kauerąmurkalal baptize ąŋgandjui:ŋu wunja, arge kubądjuŋąnąŋga, Iniiŋgundeja, ŋḁni kunjedju?Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”

13Aua kundjuŋąnąŋgori, Purąmureri tjilenda njiri wunja wiri-wiri kauwi:ŋu.“Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.

14Malani' ŋąria kuda: burkai kaueriąbuna, kubądjuŋiri, Ari kuda: ŋḁni kunjedju? Aua kundjuŋąnąŋgori, I:dja kari kwiar pariiri, bḁre paraŋuriri, ląŋugu njirkanąŋga jedji njirwa.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.”

15Worumbḁia ardarawaia iŋgadanaleri, ardi:ąka man ma ni: ąŋgąnineri John wunja, ŋąmba aua Christ iŋgąnuŋ;The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.

16John kandjo:lbąla, kundjuŋąnąŋgori ardarawaia, Ŋaiu ko:ru baptize njinji: agu njiniŋge; O! keŋgal iḁruŋ ii:lwora man dąga ŋaiu nąnja, ŋḁniọwu ŋḁnuŋamiri burangai inanŋuma irkąlja ierdu ŋąra anąŋga; aua pitja baptize njinji: Iŋandj Mąmaia nąnja, wria' nąnja.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.

17Mąndju' ŋąra anąŋga ino:ri nąnja, maiaŋąrim anąŋgam pitja rargąrim djenbeŋuru mewandju, wheat pitja djḁruk ema maiarum maninja, bululuk pitja wori nje wia' nąnja kądjinba puŋgamaren ŋąri.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.”

18Wuniiŋgundie darawa tjąkekąri kululanąŋgori wąląnu-wunia i:dja nąnja.With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.

19O! Herod inaiuri, iŋgąmaiḁmbiena aua nąnja Herodias wunja ŋawanąŋga mąŋgąnąŋgąŋja, dara wunja Herod worn kandjuneri,But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,

20Wuna kuda: kuŋgandeŋu darawa nąnja, bur ki:la John burkąrim maninja.Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.

21Ge kunina wuno:murum i:dja ardarawaia baptize ąŋgąniŋaiena, Jesu kuda: baptize iŋgąniŋaiena, dadjurd geŋiri, ąndjo:lu pąlkąr kumiena,When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

22Jeri kauwonal Iŋandj Mamaia iŋanąba kuluko:ka kądjindja aua nanja, ŋala-ŋąla andjo:l'di dągu kunjąŋgunal, Ŋaiu ŋunŋungu:la, ŋedura ŋḁnŋundjunu, tjukul ŋunana.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.”
