Luke 3
1 And in the fifteenth year of the government of Tiberius Caesar—Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip, tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Kaesare Tiberio dii ade ne mfe dunum so na Onyankopɔn asɛm baa Sakaria ba Yohane so wɔ sare so.
2 [and] Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests—there came a word of God to John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness,
Saa bere no na Pilato yɛ amrado wɔ Yudea, na Herode di Galilea mansinhene; ne nua Filipo di Iturea ne Trakoniti mansin so, na Lisania di Abilene mansinhene, na Anas ne Kaiafa nso yɛ Yudafo asɔfo mpanyin.
3 and he came to all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming an immersion of conversion for forgiveness of sins,
Yohane kyinkyinii Asubɔnten Yordan ho nyinaa kyerɛkyerɛɛ nnipa se, wɔmma wɔmmɔ wɔn asu nsakra mfi wɔn bɔne ho, na wɔde wɔn bɔne akyɛ wɔn.
4 as it has been written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the LORD, Make His paths straight;
Sɛnea Odiyifo Yesaia kae se, “Nne bi teɛ mu wɔ sare so se, ‘Munsiesie kwan mma Awurade; momma nʼatempɔn nteɛ.
5 Every valley will be filled, And every mountain and hill will be made low, And the crooked will become straightness, And the rough become smooth ways;
Obon biara bɛyɛ ma. Bepɔw ne nkoko nyinaa bɛkɔ fam; asase a ɛyɛ abonkyiabonkyi no bɛyɛ tamaa, na mmeae a ɛyɛ akɔntɔnkye no ayɛ tataw.
6 And all flesh will see the salvation of God.”
Na nnipa nyinaa behu Onyankopɔn nkwagye.’”
7 Then he said to the multitudes coming forth to be immersed by him, “Brood of vipers! Who prompted you to flee from the coming wrath?
Yohane ka kyerɛɛ nkurɔfo a wɔbaa hɔ se ɔmmɔ wɔn asu no se, “Awɔ mma! Hena na ɔbɔɔ mo kɔkɔ sɛ munguan mfi abufuwhyew a ɛreba no ho?
8 Make, therefore, fruits worthy of conversion, and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have a father—Abraham; for I say to you that God is able to raise children to Abraham out of these stones;
Monkɔbɔ ɔbra pa mfa nkyerɛ sɛ moasakra ampa. Na monnhoahoa mo ho sɛ moyɛ Abraham asefo, efisɛ Onyankopɔn betumi ama saa abo yi adan nnipa ma wɔabɛyɛ Abraham asefo.
9 and also the axe is already laid to the root of the trees, every tree, therefore, not making good fruit is cut down, and it is cast into fire.”
Onyankopɔn de nʼabonnua ato dua biara a ɛnsow aba pa ntin ho sɛ ɔde betwa na ɔde agu gya mu ahyew no.”
10 And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, “What, then, will we do?”
Nnipakuw no bisaa no se, “Na ɛno de, dɛn na yɛnyɛ?”
11 And he answering says to them, “He having two coats, let him impart to him having none; and he having food, let him do in like manner.”
Yohane buaa wɔn se, “Sɛ wowɔ ntama abien a, ma nea onni bi no baako. Saa ara nso na sɛ wowɔ aduan a, ma nea onni bi no bi.”
12 And there also came tax collectors to be immersed, and they said to him, “Teacher, what will we do?”
Towgyefo a wɔbaa hɔ sɛ wɔmmɔ wɔn asu no nso bisae se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, yɛnyɛ dɛn?”
13 And he said to them, “Exact no more than that directed you.”
Obuaa wɔn se, “Munnnye mmmoro nea wɔatwa ato hɔ sɛ munnye no.”
14 And also questioning him were those warring, saying, “And we, what will we do?” And he said to them, “Do violence to no one, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.”
Asraafo bi nso bisae se, “Yɛn nso yɛnyɛ dɛn?” Yohane buaa wɔn se, “Mommmɔ apoo, monntoto obiara ano, momma mo akatua nsɔ mo ani!”
15 And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ;
Esiane sɛ saa bere no na nnipa no nyinaa rehwɛ Agyenkwa no kwan nti, na wosusuw sɛ Yohane ne Agyenkwa no.
16 John answered, saying to all, “I indeed immerse you in water, but He comes who is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to loose the strap of His sandals—He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and fire;
Eyi maa Yohane ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Me de, mede nsu na ɛrebɔ mo asu. Nanso obi di mʼakyi a ɔreba a, ɔwɔ tumi sen me na ne mpaboa mpo, mensɛ sɛ mikura. Ɔno de, sɛ ɔba a ɔde Honhom Kronkron ne ogya na ɛbɛbɔ mo asu.
17 whose winnowing shovel [is] in His hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse His floor, and will gather the wheat into His storehouse, and He will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Ɔno na sɛ ɔba a, obehuhuw aburow no so ayiyi mu aba pa no afi ntɛtɛ no mu, na ɔde aba pa no akosie na ɔde ogya a ennum da ahyew ntɛtɛ no.”
18 And therefore, indeed, with many other things, exhorting, he was proclaiming good news to the people,
Ɔnam afotu ahorow so kaa asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
19 and Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and concerning all the evils that Herod did,
Yohane kaa Herode anim wɔ ne nua yere Herodia a ɔwaree no ne bɔne ahorow a na ɔyɛ no ho.
20 added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison.
Eyi maa Herode de Yohane too afiase.
21 And it came to pass, in all the people being immersed, Jesus also being immersed, and praying, Heaven was opened,
Bere a Yohane bɔɔ nkurɔfo pii asu wiee no, ɔbɔɔ Yesu nso asu. Ɔbɔɔ no asu wiee a ɔrebɔ mpae no, ɔsoro buei.
22 and the Holy Spirit came down in a bodily appearance, as if a dove, on Him, and a voice came out of Heaven, saying, “You are My Son, the Beloved, in You I delighted.”
Honhom Kronkron sian te sɛ aborɔnoma baa Yesu so na nne bi fi ɔsoro kae se, “Wone me Dɔba a wosɔ mʼani.”
23 And Jesus Himself was beginning to be about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, Son of Joseph,
