Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Tiberius Caesar in ngam a uk zawk kum sawm le kum nga a cin ciang in, Pontius Pilate sia Judah ngam ukpa hi a, Herod sia Galilee ngam ukpa a hihi, taciang Herod nau Philip sia Ituraea le Trachonitis ngam ukpa a hihi, taciang Lysanias sia Abilene ngam ukpa a hihi,
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
Annas le Caiaphas te sia thiampi sangbel hi uh a, tua hun sung in duisung ah a om Zechariah tapa John tung ah Pathian thu theng hi.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Tua ahikom John sia Jordan ngun dung khuano te theampo ah maw ki sikkik na tuiphumna tungtawn in mawmaina thu hil hi.
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths!
Kamsangpa Isaiah i kammal te laibu sung ah a ki atsa bang in, duisung ah a au aw khat in, Topa i lampi puakhol vun, lampi te na tangsak vun.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth;
A kom na theampo dim vun a, mual sang le mualdung te theampo niamsak vun; a kingkoai theampo tangsak vun a, lampi ham theampo nealsak vun;
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Taciang mi theampo in Pathian i ngupna mu tu uh hi, ci hi.
7 He said therefore to the multitudes that came forth to be baptized by him, Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
Ama kung ah tui ki phum tu in hongpai mihonpi te kung ah, maw, ngul suan te, hong theng tu thin-ukna pan suakta tu in kua in note kidopna hong pia ziam? ci hi.
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 out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Taciang mawna ki sikkikna taw a kiphu in nga pha te nga tavun, kote in ka pa uh Abraham nei khu hi: ci heak vun, banghangziam cile Pathian in hi suangtum te Abraham suan suaksak thei hi, hong ci khi hi.
9 And already also is the axe lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that beareth not good fruit is to be cut down, and cast into the fire.
Tu in thingkung te a bul ah heipui ki koi zo hi: nga pha a nga ngawl thingkung peuma phuk tu a, meisung ah khia hi.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Taciang mipi te in, tabang hithongle banglaw tu khu ziam? ci in dong uh hi.
11 He answered and said to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
Ama in, puansil ni a nei sia in a nei ngawl te pia tahen; an a nei sia in tabangma in vawt tahen, ci in zo hi.
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Siadong te zong tui ki phum tu in hongpai uh a, Syapa awng, kote bangbang ngamta tu khu ziam? ci uh hi.
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
Taciang ama in, a kiciangtan za sang in a tamzaw khon heak vun, ci hi.
14 And soldiers also asked him, saying, And what must we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no one, accuse no one falsely, and be content with your wages.
Ngalkap te in zong tabangma in, kote e, bangbang ngamta tu khu ziam? ci in dong uh hi. Amate kung ah, zawthawk thu taw mite tung ah bangma ngamta heak vun, a manngawl pi in mite mawsiat heak vun; na nga uh thaman taw lungkim vun, ci hi.
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Mite in lametna a nei tek uh bangma in, John sia Christ a hi le hi ngawl, mi theampo in amate thinsung ah ngaisun tek uh hi.
16 John answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.
Tua ahikom John in amate theampo tung ah, keima in a tatak in tui taw tuiphumna hong pia khi hi; ahihang kei sang in a vanglianzaw khat hongpai tu hi, a peangdap khau sutsak tu nangawn ka kilawm bua hi: Ama in Tha Thiangtho le mei taw baptisma hong pia tu hi:
17 His winnowing-shovel is in his hand to thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
A khut sung ah tangkheaplaw toai a, tangzap tu hi, tang pha te beam sung ah thun tu a; tangsi te a hi le a mit ngei ngawl meitaw hal tu hi, ci in zo kik hi.
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Ama hanthotna sung ah thudang tampi te zong mite tung ah pualak hi.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias the wife of his brother, and on account of all the evil deeds which Herod had done,
Ahizong ngam uk Herod sia a naupa Philip i a zi, Herodias thu le a pha ngawl a vawt nate hang in John in tek hi,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Taciang Herod in John sia thongtaksak a, tabang in mawna dang vawt thua belap hi.
21 And it came to pass, when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying, that the heaven was opened,
Ngual theampo tui a ki phum zawk uh ciang in, Jesus zong tui ki phum a, thu a nget laitak in van ki hong hi,
22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in a bodily shape as a dove; and a voice came from heaven: “Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased.”
Tha Thiangtho sia vakhu bang in a tung ah tuaksuk hi, taciang van pan in aw khat hong theng a, Nangma sia ka it mama Ka Tapa ni hi; na tung ah ka lungkim mama hi, ci hi.
