< 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,
Loma yaaba badiciamo Tibeli Sesa bali piiga n binmuuli binli, Ponisa Pilata den tie Jude diema gufeneeli, Elodo den die Galile diema, O waalo Filipi n ya die Itule leni Takonita diema, Lisaniasa mo n ya die Abilena diema.
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
Hana leni Kayifa den taani ki tie bi kopadicianba badiba. Laa binli Sakali bijua Jan den ye mi fanpienma nni, ke U Tienu den maadi leni o.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Lane o den caa ya dogi n baali Judana ki wangi bi niba ke ban biidi bi pala bi tuonbiadi po ki lebidi bi yama wan batisi ba ban baa bi tuonbiadi sugili.
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!
Nani lan diani maama o sawalipualo Esayi tili nni: O nilo Kpaani mi fanpienma nni ki tua: Yin bogini mani o Diedo sanu, ki naadi mani o sani.
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;
Bi baa gbieni ti joaloandi kuli, ki jiini joacianli leni joabiga kuli ki dagini, ki naadi a sangoana, ki piini ti sanbuodi.
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Nisaalo kuli baa la U Tienu faabima.
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?
A nigola den kpendi Jan kani ke wan batisiba. O den maadi ba ki tua: “Yinba u waalabibuolu na, ŋme fandi yi yin sani ki ciadi U Tienu pabienli yaali n baa cua na?
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.
Yin ya tuuni mani ya tuona n doagidi ke yi lebidi yi yama. Yin da tua yi pala nni: 'Ti pia Abalahama ke o tie ti yaaja.' N waani yi ke U Tienu baa fidi ki teni ya tama n tie na n tua Abalahama puoliŋuani.
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.
Baa moala bi caani li yali i tijiini po. Ya tibu n ki luoni ya bonluonkaala n ŋani kuli, bi baa pedibu ki lu mi fantama nni.”
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
A nigola den buali o ki tua: “Ti nan baa tieni lede?”
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.
O den goa yedi ba: “Yua n pia liada lie, wan boagidi leni yua n ki pia, yua n pia mi jiema moko n tieni yeni.”
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Bi lubigaaba moko den cua ke wan batisi ba, ki yedi o: “Canbaa, ti baa tieni lede?”
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
O den goa yedi ba: “Yin da ga li lubili ki cie ban bili maama.”
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.
A minteela moko den buali o: “Ti mo baa tieni lede?” O den yedi ba: “Da tieni mani bi niba u paalu, ki da gaani suuli ki kuli oba. Yin mangi mani yi pala leni yi ŋmapani.”
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Bi niba den gu ki sugini U Tienu n gandi yua cuama. Bi kuli den buali bi yula Jan ya tie U Tienu n gandi yua.
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.
O den yedi bi kuli: “Mini n batisi yi leni mi ñima, ama yua n pia u paalu ki cie nni baa cua, mii pundi baa yua n baa loti o cacaabaabu. Wani, o baa batisi yi leni U Tienu Fuoma Yua, leni mi fantama.
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.
O kubi o kaaligu o nuu nni, o baa ŋanbi o jalu cain, ki lendi ki tigi ki wodi ki kuodi o buali nni ki nan sia mi fenma nni ya fantama n kaa pia gbindima.”
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Jan wangi bi niba o laabaaliŋamo ki go tundi ba tunditoe boncianla.
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,
Ama wan den funi leni Elodo yua n die Galile kelima o waalo pua Elodiasa po leni wan tieni ya tuonbiadi kuli po,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Elodo go den pugini laa tuonbiadi kuli po tuonbiatoadi, ki luoni Jan li kadidieli nni.
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,
Bi niba kuli den kpendi ke Jan batisi ba, o den batisi Jesu moko. Jesu n den jaandi ya yogunu, tanpoli den luodi
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.”
ke U Tienu Fuoma Yua ñani lipo ke o nannanli naani leni ki kpaajiega ki jiidi ki jagini Jesu po. Bi den gbadi u nialu ke u maadi ŋali tanpoli po ki yedi: “A tie n Bijabuadiga n pali mani apo ŋali boncianla.”
