Luke 3
1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,
Ketah sangpuxang Tiberiha a bawi k'um, akum xaleimhma üng, Pontas Pilat cun Judah khaw ukia kyaki. Herod cun Kalile bawia kya lü, a na Philip cun Ituhrih la Tarakonik khawa bawi lü, Abilin khawa Luhtari cun bawia kyaki,
2 Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
Acunüng, Anna la Kaiphah ktaiyü ngvaia ani kya k'um üng, khawkhyawng khawa Pamhnama ngthu, Zakhariha capa Johana veia pha lawki.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the immersion of repentance in order to the remission of sins;
Acunüng, Johan cun Jordan tuinu kama, khaw avan üng cit hü lü, “Pamhnam naw nami katnak aning jah mhlätnak vaia, ngjut u lü baptican khan ua”
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight;
Sahma Hesajah naw, “Khawkhyawng khawa ngpyang hüki mata ngthu cun, ‘Bawipa lam pyang ua, a lam he jah ngdüngsak ua.
5 every ravine shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made level; and the crooked ways shall be made straight; and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
Nghawi naküt jah kbe ua. Mcung naküt pi jah ngmisak u lü, lam ngkhep he pi jah ngdüngsak ua,
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
khyang avan naw Pamhnama küikyanak hmu khai he’ tia, a ng’yuka kba,” a ti.
7 Therefore he said to the multitudes that came out to be immersed by him: Generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
Acunüng, khyang he baptican khan khai hea Johana veia lawki he üng, “Kphyuksea mjü he aw! Mhnama mlungsonak pha law khai üng nami lät khaia u naw aning jah mtheh ni?
8 Bring forth, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance. And begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.
Acunakyase nami ngjutnak cun nami bilawh üng mdan ua. ‘Kami pu Abraham ni’ ä ti ua. Ka tiki ni, Pamhnam naw hina lung üngka Abrahama ca hea jah mcawm theiki ni.
9 And now also the ax is lying at the root of the trees; therefore, every tree that does not produce good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire.
“Thingphung avan üng xei msäna kyaki. Akdawa am ngtheihkia thing avan cun ksawm pit u lü mei üng tawna kya khai,” a ti.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying: What, then, shall we do?
Acunüng khyang he naw, “Ini kami pawh kawm?” tia ami kthäh.
11 He answered and said to them: He that has two coats, let him give to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise.
Johan naw jah msang lü, “Upi kcu nghngih taki naw am taki üng mat pe se; upi ei vai taki naw am taki üng pe se,” a ti.
12 And the publicans also came to be immersed, and they said to him: Teacher, what shall we do?
Ngcawn klawk he pi a veia baptican khan khaia law u lü, “Saja aw, ini kami pawh kawm?” tia ami kthäh.
13 And he said to them: Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
Johan naw, “Ami ning jah kthähsaka däm bawki ä kthäh ti ua,” a ti.
14 And soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Take nothing from any one by extortion, nor by false accusation, and be content with your pay.
Acukba yekap he naw pi, “Ini kami pawh kawm?” tia ami kthäh. Acunüng Johan naw, “Ua ngui pi ä yutei ua, amdanga khyang i ä kpuk sawxat ua, nami ngkhengnak khäksak ua,” a ti.
15 While the people were in suspense, and all were reasoning in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not,
Acunüng, khyang he naw ngak'uhei u lü, khyang avan naw Johan cun ami mlung k'uma, “Mesijaha am kyaki aw?” tia ami ngaihkyu k'um üng,
16 John answered them all, saying: I indeed immerse you in water; but there comes One mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.
Johan naw, jah msang lü, “Kei naw tui üng baptican ka ning jah khansak khawiki; cunsepi keiha kyäp bawki law khai, a khawdawk yüi kphyan pe khaia pi am ngkawi nawng; ani naw Ngmüimkhya Ngcim la mei am baptican ning jah khan lawsak khai,
17 His winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his thrashing-floor, and gather the grain into his granary, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
Angsi a jahnak vaia a kut üng kphya kpawmki; angtak kheia ta lü angsi cun am thi theihkia mei üng mkhih khai,” a ti.
18 With many other exhortations he proclaimed the good news to the people.
Acunüng ami ngneiksak ami thuhlaih vaia jah mcäi lü, thangkdaw pi jah mthehki.
19 But Herod the tetrarch having been reproved by him on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and for all the wicked deeds which Herod did,
Cunsepi sangpuxang Herod cun a na a khyu Herodih a khyunaka phäha la katnak khawjah a pawha phäha Johan naw a jüih.
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Acunüng Herod naw aksehlena Johan cun thawngim üng a khyüm.
21 And it came to pass, while all the people were being immersed, that Jesus also was immersed; and as he was praying, the heaven was opened,
Khyang he ami van baptican ami khan law päng üng, Jesuh pi baptican khan hngaki. Ktaiyü se khankhaw nghmawng law lü,
22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, in a bodily form, like a dove; and there came a voice from heaven, which said: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I delight.
Ngmüimkhya Ngcim cun mümca kba ngdang law lü a khana cu lawki, acunüng khankhaw üngka naw ngthu, “Nang ka jawng'engnak leng lenga ka capa; na khana ka jekyai leng lengki ni,” tia ngthang lawki.
