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,
Kawoy Xibaaryoosi Roome biittan kawotin, tammanne ichchashantho laythan, Phenxe Philaaxoosi Yihuda haariya wode, Heroodisi Galiila haariya wode, iya ishaa Filiphphoosi Ixuuriyasanne Xirakkonddosa haariya wode, Lisaniyoosi Ablaanisa haariya wode,
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
Hannaranne Qayyafara kahine halaqa gidi de7ishin, Xoossaa qaalay Zakkariyaasa na7aa Yohaannisakko bazzo biittaa yis.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Yohaannisi, “Hintte nagaraappe simmitenne xammaqetite. Xoossay hintte nagaraa atto gaana” yaagidi tamaarssishe Yorddaanose Shaafaa heeran de7iya biitta ubbaa bis.
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!
Hessika nabey Isayaasi ba maxaafan, “Bazzo giddon ba qaala dhoqqu oothidi, waassiya uraa qaalay, ‘Godaa ogiya giigisite, horogaakka piddi oothite.
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;
Aafo ubbay kumana, zumaynne dereynne ziqqi gaana. Wobbe ogey luulana, giigonna horogay qinxi gaana.
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Asho ma77ida ubbay, Xoossaa ashuwa be7ana’” gidi xaafidayssada hanis.
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?
Yohaannisi, ba kushen xammaqettanaw yida asaakko, “Hinttenoo, shoosha nayto yaanaw de7iya hanquwafe attana mela hinttena zoriday oonee?
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.
Hiza, hintte simuwa qonccisiya lo77o ooso oothite, hintte wozanan, ‘Nuus, nu aaway Abrahamey de7ees gidi ceeqettofite.’ Haa si7ite, ha shuchchatappe Xoossay Abrahames na7a kessanaw dandda7ees.
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.
Hekko, beexey mithaa xaphon de7ees. Hiza, lo77o ayfe ayfonna mitha ubbay qanxettidi taman yegettana” yaagis.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Asay, “Yaatin nuuni ay oothinoo?” yaagidi oychchidosona.
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.
Yohaannisi zaaridi, “Nam77u afili de7iya asi baynnayssas immo. Kathi de7eyssi baynnayssas immo” yaagis.
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Qaraxa qanxiseyssati xammaqettanaw yidi, “Asttamaariyaw, nuuni ay oothinoo?” yaagidosona.
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
I zaaridi, “Hintte qanxisanaw kiitettoyssafe aathidi ekkofite” yaagis.
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.
Qassi wotaaddareti yidi, “Nuuni ay oothinoo” yaagidi oychchidosona. Yohaannisi, “Oodebaakka wolqqan dafidi ekkofite, oonakka worddon mootoppite, hintte damoozey hinttew gido; ufayttidi de7ite” yaagis.
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Asay Kiristtoosa naagishe de7iya gisho, Yohaannisa, “I Kiristtoosa gidanddeshshaa?” gidi qoppidosona.
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.
Yohaannisi ubbaas zaaridi, “Taani hinttena haathan xammaqays, shin taappe aadhdhidi wolqqaameyssi yaana. Taani iya caammaa wodoruwa billanaw bessonna asi. I hinttena Geeshsha Ayyaananinne taman xammaqana.
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.
Wudumman de7iya kathaa polo geeshshanaw pithey iya kushen de7ees. Geeshsha kathaa ba shaaliyan qolana; kaliya dhayonna taman xuuggana” yaagis.
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Qassi Yohaannisi asaa daro zore zoridi Wonggelaa odis.
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,
Shin Yohaannisi Heroodisi ba ishaa machchiw, Herodiyada, ekkida gishonne haraa iita oosota gisho kaccida wode,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Heroodisi kaseyssa bolla haraba ubbaa gujjidi Yohaannisa woyne gelssis.
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,
Yohaannisi qashettanaappe sinthe asaa ubbaa xammaqidi simmin, Yesuusikka qassi xammaqettis. I woossishin saloy dooyettis.
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.”
Geeshsha Ayyaanay holleda benttishe iya bolla uttis. Saloppe “Taani dosiya na7ay nena; ne tana ufayssaasa yaagiya” qaalay yis.
