Luka 3
1 E higa mar apar gabich mar loch Kaisar Teberio, kane Pontio Pilato ne ruodh Judea, to Herode ne ruodh Galili, kendo Filipo owadgi ne ruodh Iturea gi Trakoniti, to Lusania ne ruodh Abilen,
And in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, in the presidency of Pontius Pilate in Judaea, while Herod was Tetrarch in Galilee, and Philip his brother Tetrarch in Ituraea and in the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias Tetrarch of Abilene,
2 e kinde ma jodolo madongo ne gin Anas gi Kaifas, wach Nyasaye ne obiro ne Johana wuod Zekaria e thim.
in the high priesthood of Annas and of Caiaphas; the word of God was upon John the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
3 Nodhi e piny duto molworo Jordan, koyalo batiso mar weyo richo mondo mi owenegi richo.
And he came into all the region about the Jordan, proclaiming the baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
4 Kaka nondiki e kitabu mar weche mag Isaya janabi niya: “Ngʼat moro kok e thim ni, ‘Losuru yo ne Jehova Nyasaye, losneuru yore moriere tir.
As it is written in the book of the discourses of Isaiah the prophet, who said: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord; and make straight paths in the plain for our God.
5 Hoho ka hoho nobugi mapongʼ, gode madongo gi matindo duto nopie. Yore mobam biro bedo moriere, yore motimo gogni nobed mayom.
All valleys shall be filled up, and all mountains and hills be lowered; and the hillock shall be levelled down, and the rough place become smooth.
6 Kendo ji duto biro neno warruok mar Nyasaye.’”
And all flesh shall see the life which is of God.
7 Johana nowacho ne oganda mane biro mondo obatisgi niya, “Un koth thuondegi! En ngʼa mane onyisou mondo uring utony ne mirima mager mabiro?
And he said to the multitudes, who came to him to be baptized: Ye progeny of vipers, who hath instructed you to flee from the future wrath?
8 Nyaguru olemo manyiso ni uselokoru uweyo richo. Kendo kik upar e kindu uwegi ni, ‘Wan gi Ibrahim kaka wuonwa.’ Nimar awachonu ni kata mana kitegi Nyasaye nyalo loko nyithind Ibrahim.
Bring forth, therefore, fruits comporting, with repentance. And begin not to say in yourselves: We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God can, from these stones, raise up sons to Abraham.
9 Le oseketi e tiend yiende, kendo yien ka yien ma ok nyag olemo mabeyo ibiro tongʼ mi go piny kendo witi e mach.”
And lo, the ax is put to the root of trees. Every tree therefore that beareth not good fruits, is hewed down, and falleth into the fire.
10 Oganda nopenje niya, “Kara en angʼo monego watim?”
And the multitudes asked him, and said: What, then, shall we do?
11 Johana nodwoko niya, “Ngʼat man-gi sede ariyo owinjore chiw achiel okonygo nyawadgi ma ongego, kendo jalno man kod chiemo bende onego tim kamano.”
He answered and said to them: Whoever hath two tunics, let him give one to him that hath none; and whoever hath food, let him do the same.
12 Josol osuru bende nobiro ire mondo obatisgi. Negipenje niya, “Japuonj. En angʼo mowinjore watim?”
And publicans also came to be baptized. And they said to him: Teacher, what shall we do?
13 Nonyisogi niya, “Kik usol osuru moloyo kaka idwaro ni mondo usol.”
And he said to them: Exact no more than ye are required to exact.
14 Eka askeche moko nopenje niya, “To en angʼo mowinjore watim.” Nodwokogi niya, “Kik uma ngʼato pesa githuon kata donjo ne ji gi miriambo to misara maru muyudo mondo oromu.”
And those serving in war inquired of him, and said: And what shall we do? He said to them: Be insolent to no one, and oppress no one, and let your pay satisfy you.
15 Ji ne pod rito gi geno ahinya kendo giduto ne giwuoro ka giparo e chunjegi ni nyalo bedo ni Johana e Kristo.
And while the people were thinking of John, and all pondered in their heart, whether he were the Messiah;
16 Johana nodwokogi duto niya, “An abatisou gi pi. To ngʼato moro biro bangʼa ma oloya gi duongʼ, ma ok awinjora gonyo tond wuochene. En obiro batisou gi Roho Maler kod mach.
John answered and said to them: Behold, I baptize you with water; but after me cometh one mightier than I, the strings of whose shoes I am not worthy to untie; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
17 Odheru mare mar piedho cham ni e lwete mondo opiedhgo cham duto maler e kar dino cham, kendo ochok cham koketo e deche, to obiro wangʼo mihudhi gi mach ma ok nyal negi.”
He holdeth his winnowing shovel in his hand, and he will make clean his threshing floor; and the wheat he gathereth into his garners, and the chaff he will burn with fire not extinguished.
18 To gi weche moko mangʼeny Johana nojiwo ji kendo noyalo Injili ne ji.
And many other things also, he taught and proclaimed to the people.
19 To ka Johana nokwero Ruoth Herode nikech wach Herodia, ma chi owadgi, kendo kuom gik mamoko maricho mane osetimo,
But Herod the Tetrarch, because he was reproved by John, on account of Herodias the wife of his brother Philip, and on account of all the evil things he had done,
20 Herode nomedo timo gima rachie moloyo kendo nomako Johana motero e od twech.
added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Kane ibatiso ji duto, Yesu bende ne obatisi. To kane olemo, polo noyawore
And it occurred, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also was baptized. And as he prayed, the heavens were opened;
22 kendo Roho Maler mane obiro e kido mar akuru nolor mopiyo kuome, to dwol noa e polo mawacho niya, “In e Wuoda, ma ahero; chunya mor kodi.”
and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, in the bodily likeness of a dove: and there was a voice from heaven, which said: Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I have delight.
23 Koro ka Yesu owuon nochako tichne ka hike dirom piero adek. Ne iparo nine en wuod Josef, wuod Heli
