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,
Ke yac aksingoul limekosr in we lal Tokosra Fulat Tiberius, Pontius Pilate pa governor in acn Judea, Herod pa leumi acn Galilee, ac Philip, tamulel lal Herod, pa leumi acn Iturea ac Trachonitis; Lysanias el leumi acn Abilene;
2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
ac Annas ac Caiaphas eltal mwet Tol Fulat. In pacl se inge pa kas lun God tuku nu sel John, wen natul Zechariah, ke el muta yen mwesis.
3 He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,
Ouinge John el fufahsryesr in acn nukewa su oan apkuran nu ke Infacl Jordan, ac oru luti lal we, ac fahk, “Kowos auliyak ac baptaisla, na God El fah eela ma koluk lowos.”
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.
Oana ma simla in book lal Isaiah mwet palu: “Sie pusra wowoyak yen mwesis ac fahk, ‘Kowos akoo inkanek lun Leum, Ac aksuwosye Elan fahsr kac!
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.
Infahlfal nukewa ac fah nwekyukla, Ac eol ac tohktok nukewa ac fah akfwelyeyuk. Inkanek kururu ac fah aksuwosyeyuk, Ac innek siruprup fah akfwelyeyuk.
6 And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”
Mwet nukewa fin faclu ac fah liye molela sin God me!’”
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?
Un mwet puspis som nu yorol John in tuh baptaisla sel. El fahk nu selos, “Kowos wet pwasin! Su fahk mu kowos ac ku in kaingkunla mwe keok ma God El akola in supwama uh?
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.
Oru ma ac akpwayei lah kowos forla liki ma koluk lowos an. Ac nimet sifacna nunku mu Abraham el papa tomowos. Nga fahk nu suwos lah God El ku na in eis eot inge ac ekulla nu ke tulik natul Abraham!
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.”
Tuhla uh akola tari in pakiya sak uh nwe ke oka uh. Sak nukewa ma tia oswe fahko wo uh ac fah pakpuki ac sisila nu in e uh.”
10 The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”
Na mwet uh siyuk sel, “Na mea kut ac oru?”
11 John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”
El topuk ac fahk, “Kutena mwet su oasr nuknuk luo lal, lela elan sang sie lun el su wangin la, ac kutena mwet su oasr mwe mongo yorol, lela elan sang kutu nun mwet ma wangin ma nac.”
12 Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”
Kutu mwet eisani tax elos tuku in wi baptaisla, ac elos siyuk sel, “Mwet Luti, ac kut — mea kut in oru?”
13 “Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.
El fahk nu selos, “Nimet eis tax yohk liki lupa ma oakwuki ke ma sap an.”
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.”
Ac kutu mwet mweun elos oayapa siyuk sel, “Ac kut — mea kut ac oru?” El fahk nu selos, “Nimet eisla mani sin kutena mwet ke funmwet, ku orek loh kikiap lain mwet. Kowos in falkinna molin orekma lowos an.”
15 The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.
Mutawauk in yokelik finsrak lun mwet uh kacl John lah acnu el pa Messiah.
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.
Ouinge John el fahk nu selos nukewa, “Nga baptaisi kowos ke kof, tusruktu oasr sie su ac fah tuku, su arulana fulat ac ku likiyu. Nga kupansuwol in tulala ah losyen fahluk lal ah. El ac fah baptaisi kowos ke Ngun Mutal ac e.
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.”
Fork in sraclik lal oasr inpaol, ac el akola in sraclik fiten wheat liki kulun wheat. El ac fah orani wheat lal nu in nien filma lal. Tusruktu kulun wheat uh ac fah isisyak in sie e su ac fah tiana kunla.”
18 With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.
In lumah puspis John el fahkak Pweng Wo nu sin mwet uh, ac kwafe nu selos in ekulla ouiyen moul lalos.
19 But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,
Tusruktu John el kael Herod, su leumi Galilee, mweyen el payukyak sel Herodias, mutan se kien tamulel lal, ac oru pac kain koluk puspis saya.
20 Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.
Na Herod el eisalang John nu in presin, su koluk liki na ouiya ma el oru meet ah.
21 When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,
Tukun mwet nukewa baptaisla tari, Jesus el oayapa baptaisla. Ke pacl se el pre ah, kusrao ikakla,
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.”
ac Ngun Mutal tuhwi nu facl oana luman sie wuleoa. Ac sie pusra tuku inkusrao me ac fahk, “Kom Wen kulo nutik. Nga arulana insewowo sum.”
