< 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,
Tiberia Siangpahrang kum hrahlaipanga touh bawi a tawk navah Pontius Pailat teh Judah ram dawk ukkung bawi a tawk. Galilee ram dawk Herod, Iturea hoi Trakhonitis ram dawk Herod e a nawngha Filip, Abilen ram dawk Lisanias telah khobawi lah lengkaleng a tawk awh.
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
Annas hoi Kaiaphas teh vaihma kacue a tawk roi nah, Cathut e lawk teh kahrawngum kaawm e Zekhariah capa Jawhan koe a pha.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Profet Isaiah e cauk dawk a thut e patetlah kahrawngum hramkhai e lawk teh, Cathut tho nahan lam rasoun awh.
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!
Lamthungnaw palan awh. Ravonaw paten awh. Karasangnaw hah rahnoum sak awh. Ka lawngkoi e lamthungnaw palan awh.
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;
Lam kamathoutnaw rasoun awh.
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Taminaw pueng ni Cathut e rungngangnae a coe awh han ati e patetlah, Jawhan teh Jordan tui koe a tengpam a kâhlai teh, yon pankângainae Baptisma kong a hramkhai.
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?
Hatnavah, tui baptisma ka coe hanelah ka tho e tamihunaw koe, Jawhan ni lawk a dei e teh, tahrun catounnaw ka tho hane lawkcengnae dawk hoi, na hlout thai nahanelah apinimaw kâhruetcuetnae na poe awh vaw.
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.
Pankângainae hoi kamcu e hno tarawi awh. Abraham teh maimae na pa telah na lungthung pouk awh hanh. Atangcalah na dei pouh awh. Cathut ni hete talung dawk hoi Abraham e catounnaw a tâco sak thai.
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.
Thingkung koe cakâ sut pangawi lah ao toung dawkvah, a paw kahawi ka paw hoeh e a kung pueng teh ka tâtueng vaiteh hmai dawk koung ka phum han telah a dei.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Tami kamkhuengnaw ni telah pawiteh kaimouh ni bangtelamaw ka sak awh han telah a pacei awh navah,
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.
Jawhan ni angki yung hni touh ka tawn e ni ka tawn hoeh e rei naseh. Ca han ka tawn e ni hot patetlah sak van na seh telah bout atipouh.
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Tamuk kacawngnaw baptisma coe hanlah a tho awh teh, saya kaimanaw ni bangtelamaw ka sak awh han telah a pacei awh navah,
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
nangmae na Bawipa ni na cawng sak e a hloilah cawng awh hanh atipouh.
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.
Ransa thaw katawknaw ni hai kaimouh ni bangtelamaw ka sak awh han telah a pacei awh navah, Jawhan ni apipatet koe hai, ka kamsoum hoeh lahoi tangka lawm awh hanh, het awh hanh awh, na hmu e kutphu dawk na lungkuep awh, telah atipouh.
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Taminaw ni a ngaihawi awh teh Jawhan heh Messiah han vaimoe telah a pouk awh.
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.
Jawhan ni hai kai ni nangmanaw teh tui dawk doeh baptisma na poe awh. Hatei kai hlak kalen e a tho han. Ahnie khokkhawm rui patenghai rading pouh hane lah ka kamcu hoeh. Ahni ni nangmanaw teh Kathoung Muitha hoi hmai dawkvah Baptisma na poe awh han.
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.
Ahni teh a kut dawk para a patuep teh, katin tangcoung e cakang a hut sak dawkvah, cataknaw teh capai dawk a cui sak vaiteh, cahiknaw teh ka roum thai hoeh e hmai dawk a phum han atipouh.
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Hottelah alouke kamthang kahawi aphunphun lahoi a pâpho pouh.
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,
Hathnukkhu hoi Herod bawi ni a nawngha e a yu Herodias hoi thoseh, amae payonpakainae puenghoi thoseh, Jawhan ni a pâpho pouh teh a yue.
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Jawhan hah thongim rek a paung dawkvah, Herod teh ahmaloe e yon van hete yonnae hoi rek a kâthap.
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,
Taminaw pueng ni baptisma a coe navah Jisuh hai baptisma a coe teh ratoum lahun navah, kalvan a kamawng teh,
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.”
Kathoung Muitha teh âbakhu patetlah Jisuh van a cu teh, nang teh ka pahren poung e hoi ka lungkuep e capa doeh telah, kalvan lahoi lawk a tho.
