Luka 3
1 Nanya likus likure nin natowun kube na ugo Tiberius Kaisar, ame Bilatus Ba-bunti wa di ugomna Nyahudiya, Hiridus wadi unan bunu gwamnna in Galili, gwana me Filibus wadi unan bunu kipin ituriya nin Tarakunitis, Lisaniyas wadi unan bunu gwamna Abiliya,
By now Tiberias had been Caesar for fifteen years. Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea. Herod was ruler of Galilee, his brother Philip was ruler of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanius was ruler of Abiline.
2 nin kubi na Annas wadi kumalami kudya nin Kayafas, uliru Kutelle da kitin Yohanna, usaun Zakariya, nanya kusho.
Annas and Caiphas were the current high priests. This was the time when the word of God came to John, Zechariah's son, who was living in the desert.
3 A wa cinu akeu nigberi naa na ni wadi ngau kurawa urdun, a wadin wazin shintinu nmyen nin foo na acara udu uwesu kulapi.
He went throughout the whole Jordan region, announcing to everyone that they needed to be baptized to show they had repented and their sins had been forgiven.
4 Nafo na inna yertin nanya kufa ligbulang Ishaya unan liru nin nuu Kutelle, “Li wai nmong din yicu nanya kusho, 'Kelen libau Kutelle, kelen tikoot mene ti so dert.
As Isaiah the prophet wrote: “A voice was heard crying out in the desert, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord: make his paths straight.
5 Vat awu ima kulu anin, vat atala nin naparan ima toltinu ana nin vat, tibau ti ginlang ima nakpu tinin, tibau ti nanzan ima kelu tinin lau.
Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be leveled. Crooked ways will be straightened, and rough roads will be smoothed.
6 Vat anit ma yenu utucu Kutelle.'”
Every human being will see God's salvation.’”
7 Yohanna woro ligozin na nite ale na iwa ccinu uda kiti me ada shintu nani nanya mmyen, “Anung kuewunu fiyii timung, nghani na kpada minu icun kiti finana nayi to na tidin cinu?
John addressed the crowds that came to him to be baptized. “You viper's brood! Who warned you to flee from the coming judgment?” he asked.
8 Nutunon nono nanga na nibatina ufubu, na iwa cizin ugbondilu nanya mine ba, “Tidin Ibrahim ucif bite,' bara na ina belen munu au Kutelle wa sa a nutuno Ibrahim ku nono tutung unuzu natala alele.
“Demonstrate that you have truly repented. Don't try to justify yourselves by saying, ‘We're Abraham's descendants.’ Let me tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these stones.
9 Nene imalu tii kidowo tilin kuce bara nani vat kuca ko na kunutuno kumat kucine ba wase ikowo kunin i ta ulaku.”
The ax is set to begin chopping at the base of the trees. Any tree that doesn't produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.”
10 Amon nanya ligozie teringhe imoro, “Iyanghari ti ma nin ti.”
“So what should we do?” the crowds asked him.
11 A kawa a woro nnani, “Umong wa di nin nalutuk aba, ana ule na a salimung, ule na asi nin nimonli a su nani.”
“If you have two coats, then share with someone who doesn't have one. If you have food, then share with those who don't,” he told them.
12 Among anan sessun gandu da ida shintin nani nmyen, i woroghe, “'Unan yiru, inghanghri ti ma ti?”
Some tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher, what should we do?” they also asked.
13 A woro nani, “Na ima seru ikurfung ikata ile imong na ina beling minu.
“Don't collect any more tax than you're meant to,” he replied.
14 Among a soja da tiringhe, i woro, “Arike fa? Tiba tizighari?” Aworo nani, “Na iwa seru ikurfun kifin mmong nin likara ba. Na iwa vura umong ba teren kibinai nin imung na idin bizu minu.”
“What about us?” some soldiers asked. “What should we do?” “Don't demand money with threats of violence. Don't make accusations that are untrue. Be satisfied with your wages,” he replied.
15 Nene na anite wa din ncaa ndak Yesu, kogha wadin kpilzule sa Yohanna re Kristi.
The people were waiting expectantly, and wondered whether John himself might be the Messiah.
16 Yohanna kawa a woro nani vat, “Bara meng idin shintu munu nanya myen, umong din cinu ulenge na akafini nin likara, na meng bafin inbunku tii nakpatak mye ba, ama shintu munu nanya Ruhu Ulau nin laa.
John replied and explained to everybody: “Yes, I am baptizing you in water. But the one who is coming is more important than me, and I'm not worthy to undo his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
17 Kupark mye di nanya nacara mye na ama kyeliu uaalkama a gutun insoronghe ayiru iyole atii filai ama juju insoronghe nin la ule na iwa se ibico ba.”
His winnowing fork is in his hand and he's ready to separate the wheat from the chaff on his threshing floor. He'll gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with fire that can't be extinguished.”
18 Nin mong ugbaru udia tutung, abele anite ulilrun nlai.
John gave many warnings like this as he announced the good news to the people.
19 Yohanna kpada Hiridus ku kitin yerun nwaii mbene mye Hirudiya, nin vat nadu ananzang Hiridus na ana su.
But when John reprimanded Herod the ruler for marrying Herodias, Herod's brother's wife, and for all the evil things he'd done,
20 Bara nan Hiridus kuru a ti nlong lidu tinanzang a mati i tursu Yohanna ilu nanya kilari lican.
Herod added to his crimes by having John thrown into jail.
21 Nene kubi da, na Yohanna wa shintu anit vat nanya nmyen, a shintino Yesu ku wang na awa din nlira kitene kani puno.
Now it happened that after everyone had been baptized, Jesus was baptized as well. As he was praying, heaven was opened,
22 Uruhu Kutelle tulu kitene mye nafo kuwulung, liwui nuzu kitene kani, “Fere gono nayi ning udin puzi ayi.”
and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, taking the form of a dove. A voice came from heaven, saying, “You are my son, the one I love. I am truly pleased with you.”
23 Yesu liti mye, kube na awa cizin udursuzue awa di nin nallus akut atat. Awa di usaun Yusufu, usaun Heli,
