Luke 3
1 Ni mi ise u tso don tra wa Tiberia Caesar - Chu, u, Pontiyus Bilatus ana gomna Judiya, Hiridus ka Chu ni Galili, vayima Filibus ka chu ni Ituriyada Tarakunitas, mba Lasaniyas ana Chu ni Abaliya.
Then, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being procurator of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Ni nton wa Hanana ba kayafa bana bi ninkoh bitun tre Irji kaye ni Yahaya vren Zakariya ni miji.
under the high priests Annas and Caiaphas: the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness.
3 Sei ka zren kagon gbugbulu mi yie'u nei u urdu, dani hla tre Irji ni bawu, a yo'u ba duba ye kpa Irji nda dun ba sukpa ni ba wu, duba wru lah tre mba hle ni bawu.
And he went into the entire region of the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins,
4 Na wa ba na nha nvunvu u tre Anabi Ishaya ndi llan di ri si yo ni miji, mlan koh Bachi tie dun koh ma hi yreyre.
just as it has been written in the book of the sermons of the prophet Isaiah: “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord. Make straight his paths.
5 Ko san ngbulu ba shu, u ngbulu ba ba gble tita ba kma ti fime, u nkoh bi tie memme ba kma bi ba ba shu, ni ngbulu baba tita ba ba yra ba nda kma me nkoh ni bubu biwa be gblegble me'a.
Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low. And what is crooked shall be made straight. And the rough paths shall be made into level ways.
6 U bi he nimi kpa ba to Ceto u Irji.
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
7 Sai Yohana a hla ni gbugbu ndji wa ba si ye dun sukpa bawu'a. Yohana yo ba ndi “biyi mri iwan, anha hla ni yiwu dun yi tsutsu ni nfu wa ani ye ni yiwu'a?”
Therefore, he said to the crowd that went out in order to be baptized by him: “You progeny of vipers! Who told you to flee from the approaching wrath?
8 Nitu kii, kma tie klo kunkro wa ndi ba bre dun ba wru lla tre hle bawu dana ta tre ni kpamba ndi ki he ni Ibrahim wa a iti mbu, mi hla niwu Irji hei ni gbengble wa ani zu titi biyi kma tie mri ni Ibrahim rji ni tita bi yi.
So then, produce fruits worthy of repentance. And do not begin to say, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that God has the power to raise up sons to Abraham from these stones.
9 Ko zizan ba mlan gla tie nitu nja bi ba kunkro. U wawu kunkro bi wandi bana klo bi na ba gen ba nda vu ba sru ni lu.”
For even now the axe has been placed at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that does not produce good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire.”
10 U gbugbu ndji baki mye'u ndi, “Zizan ki tie ni he?”
And the crowed was questioning him, saying, “What then should we do?”
11 A kasa nda tre “Indji wandi a he ni nklon ha, ka ban rhi ni ndji wandi ana he ni rhi na, u ndji wa ahe ni lah ka tie naki ngame.
But in response, he said to them: “Whoever has two coats, let him give to those who do not have. And whoever has food, let him act similarly.”
12 Bi kpa ban ba ye du ba sukpa ni bawu, nda tre, “Ndji-u-tsro, ki tie ni he?”
Now the tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?”
13 A hla ni bawu ndi, “Nata kpa inklen zan kpe wandi ba tre dun yi kpa na.”
But he said to them, “You should do nothing more than what has been appointed to you.”
14 Sojoji bari ngame ba mye, ndi, “U kita na? Ki tie ni he?” A bla hla ni bawu, “Na kpa nkleh niwo njo ni gbengble na, ndi na tie ce ti ndrjo na. Nji kpe-andi bi u mbi dun mla yi.”
Then the soldiers also questioned him, saying, “And what should we do?” And he said to them: “You should strike no one, and you should not make false accusations. And be content with your pay.”
15 Zizan wa ba ndji ba si ya nkoh ye u Kristi'a, wawu mba ba si rhimre ni suron mba nitu Yohana, ko wawu mba hi Kristi'a.
Now all were thinking about John in their hearts, and the people were supposing that perhaps he might be the Christ.
16 Yohana a kasa ni bawu nda tre ndi, “Ime mi si sukpa ni yiwu ni mma, u ndji waa si ye ni koshi mu, a zan me ni gbengble, u mina tsra wa mi sie rjirji lagban u zama na. Wawu ni sukpa ni yiwu ni Ruhu Tsratsra ni lu.
John responded by saying to everyone: “Indeed, I baptize you with water. But there will arrive one stronger than me, the laces of whose shoes I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit, and with fire.
17 Ahei ni mumu ni wo ma wandi ani tie ndu niwu nda zen memme bie nda ka waa bi zi nimi iwron. U ani gon biwa ba tie meme'a ni lu wa ana y'bi na.”
His winnowing fan is in his hand. And he will purify his threshing floor. And he will gather the wheat into the barn. But the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”
18 Ni mi tsro mba Yohana a hla tre ndindi ni ndji ba.
Indeed, he also proclaimed many other things, exhorting the people.
19 Hiridus wa ana Chu, a son gran wa vayi ma Hiridiya, ni mbru meme kpie wa Hiridus azi tie'a,
But Herod the tetrarch, when he was corrected by him concerning Herodias, his brother’s wife, and concerning all the evils that Herod had done,
20 a ka biyi suru nhaa, ndi a ka Yohana tro ni brusuna.
added this also, above all else: that he confined John to prison.
21 Inton wa ba sukpa ba ndji wawu, Yesu me ba sukpa'a niwu ngame, wa asi he ni mi bre wa ka toh shulu bu'u,
Now it happened that, when all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized; and as he was praying, heaven was opened.
22 wa toh Ruhu Tsatsar ka grji ye son nitu ma na ngyu, wa ka wo lan Irji ni shu, “Iwu yi wu vren mu wandi isuron mu a kpa wu. Suron mu ku si ni wu.”
And the Holy Spirit, in a corporal appearance like a dove, descended upon him. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my beloved Son. In you, I am well pleased.”
23 Yesu ahe ni sei wlon nkpu tra nda vu tie ndu Irji. Nimi kpa, Yesu hi vren Isuwu wa ba yo tima ndi Heli,
