Luke 3
1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Rome gamvaipo Tiberius vaipoh kal kum somlenga lhin kum ahitan, Pontus Pilate chu Judea gamvaipo ahin; Herod Antipas chu Galilee gam vaipo ahin; asopipa Philip chu Iturea le Traconitus gamsungsea vaipo ahin; Lysanias chu Abilene gam vaipo ahi.
2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
Annas le Caiaphas chu thempu chungnung anahilhone. Hiche phatlai hin Pathen a konin gamthip lah'a um, Zechariah chapa John hengah thu ahung lhungin ahi.
3 He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,
Chuin John chu amun amun'ah Jordan vadung pang langto gel'ah achen, mihon alungheiyu vetsahna a baptize achan nadiuvin thu ahil lhang len chule Pathen henga ngaidam chan nadia akilehei diuvin aseiye.
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.
Isaiah chun John chungchang thu anaseiyin hitin ati, “Ama hi gamthip'a khosam aw ahi, Pakai hungna ding alampi semtoh un! Ama dingin lampi sutheng un,
5 Every valley shall be filled in, and every mountain and hill made low. The crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.
Phaicham lah kidip ding, chule molboh ho le thinglhang lah kinot cham ding akon ho kisujang ding, chule mun phol lah ho kisunam ding,
6 And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”
Chuteng leh mijousen amuding, huhhingna Pathen'a kon hung kisol chu,” ati.
7 Then John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
Mihonpi chu John henga baptize chang dinga ahung uchun, aman hitin aseiye, “Nangho gulse son ho! Koiham Pathen lunghan na hunglhung dinga kon jamdoh dinga nagihsal uvah?
8 Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
Chonset'a kon lung naheiyule Pathen lam a nakile'u chu nahin dan uva konin tahlang'un. Nanghon khat le khat komah, ‘Bitna kanei nauve, ajehchu Abraham son kahiuve’ tin moh sei hih un. Hichu imacha ahipoi, ajehchu kaseipeh nahiuve, Pathen in hiche song hoa kona jong Abraham son le pah asemdoh thei ahi.
9 The axe lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”
Tu jenga jong Pathen thutanna heicha gottupsa, thingphung ajungho tutan dinga phasadem'a um ahitai. Henge, thingphung aga phalou jouse chu phuhlhuh'a uma meilah'a selut hiding ahi.” ati.
10 The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”
Mihonpi chun adong'un, “Ipi kabol diu hitam?” atiuve.
11 John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”
John in adonbut in, “Sangkhol ni neiyin, khat chu avaicha ho peuvin. An neh ding neiyin agilkel te jong hoppeh in,” ati.
12 Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”
Lepthol'a natong kaidong ho jong baptize chang din ahung un chule adong'un, “Houhil, ipi kaboldiu hitam?” atiuve.
13 “Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.
Aman adonbut in, “Gamsung kivaipohna in angeh kalval in kai dong hih'un,” atipeh'e.
14 Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” “Do not take money by force or false accusation,” he said. “Be content with your wages.”
“Ipi kabol diu hitam” tin sepai phabep khat in jong ahung dongun ahi. John in adonbut in, “Alamlouvin sum kilah hih'un ahiloule adihlouvin mi hehset bol hih'un, chule na losan'a chun lung lhaiyun,” ati.
15 The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.
Mijousen Messiah chu hungvah dinga aginchat cheh u anahin, chule John chu Messiah chu hingap hitam ti ahetnom ten'un ahi.
16 John answered all of them: “I baptize you with water, but One more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
John in athudoh uchu adonbut in hitin aseiye: “Keiman nangho twiya baptize kachansah nahiuvin, hinlah keima sanga lenjo khat ahunge–nasatah a lenjo ahidan chu keima asoh hiding le akengchot khao sutlham dingin jong kalhing joupon ahi. Amachun nangho Lhagao Theng le meiya baptize nachan sah ding'u ahi.
17 His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Ama phol jap-ngimna mangcha a changsi le atah lhehkhen dinga phasadem'a um ahitai. Chuteng aman changchilna phol asuhthenga changtah chengse chu achangsal'a asun'a asi ho vang chu mit theilou meilhum sunga aselut ding ahi,” ati.
18 With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.
John chun kipana thupha miho koma aseiphong na achun chutobang gihsalna kamcheng jong amangchan ahi.
19 But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,
John in jong lhangphong tah in Galilee gam vaihompa, Herod Antipas chu, Herodius, asopipa jinu, akichenpi jeh le athilse bol adang tamtah jeh chun demna aneiyin ahi.
20 Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.
Hijeh chun Herod in John chu songkul'ah akhum'in, achonsetna dangtoh hiche hi akibelap tan ahi.
21 When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,
Nikhat mihonpi chu baptize achan laiyun, Yeshua amatah jong baptize achangin ahi. Ama atao leh vanho ahung kihongin,
22 and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
chule Lhagao Theng, tahsa lim pu'in van vakhu bangin ahung kumsuh in achunga chun achu'e. Van'a kon chun aw khat'in hitin ahinseiye, “Nangma kangailut tah kachapa nahi, chule kipana lentah neihin pohpeh'e,” ati.
