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.
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and 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.
in the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias 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 came into all the region round about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto 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.
as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.
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 the crooked shall become straight, And the rough ways smooth;
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?”
He said therefore to the multitudes that went out to be baptized of him, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
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.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
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.”
And even now is the axe also laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 U gbugbu ndji baki mye'u ndi, “Zizan ki tie ni he?”
And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must 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.
And he answered and said unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
12 Bi kpa ban ba ye du ba sukpa ni bawu, nda tre, “Ndji-u-tsro, ki tie ni he?”
And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Master, what must we do?
13 A hla ni bawu ndi, “Nata kpa inklen zan kpe wandi ba tre dun yi kpa na.”
And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed 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.”
And soldiers also asked him, saying, And we, what must we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither exact [anything] wrongfully; and be content with your wages.
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.
And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were 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 answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost 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.”
whose fan is in his hand, throughly to cleanse his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
18 Ni mi tsro mba Yohana a hla tre ndindi ni ndji ba.
With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto 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, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
20 a ka biyi suru nhaa, ndi a ka Yohana tro ni brusuna.
added yet this above all, that he shut up John in 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 came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the 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 Ghost descended in a bodily form, as a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
