< 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,
Tiberi badciamo n dini li bali, li piiga n bina mu po, Ponsi Piilaati den tie Suude bado, ke Herodi tie Gaalile bado, ke o ninjua Fiilipi tie Iture yeni Traconiiti bado, Lisaniasi tie Abilen bado.
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
Hani yeni Kayiifi n den tie bi Salyidcianba. Laa binli i ke U Tienu bo maadi leni Sakari bijua Jan mi fanpienma nni.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Jan bo gedi Surdan fuanli nni kuli. O bo yii bi niba ke ban cua ke ban wuli ba U Tienu ñima, ke lan waani ke bi lebdi bi yama ke U Tienu dini sugli bi tuonbiadi po.
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!
Yeni ke U Tienu Sawalpualo Esayi n bo diani yaala o tili nni tieni yeni mɔni: Bi gbia o nulo nialu ke o kpaandi mi fanpienma ki tua: Bobni man 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;
Baalɔdga kuli ba piini, Juali kuli yeni gbangbanli kuli ba sali, Ti sangolndi ba sondi, Ti sanbuodi kuli ṅ sali,
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Ke bi niba kuli ba lá U Tienu ŋalbalgo.
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?
Jan bo maadi ya niwulgu n bo cuoni ki bua ke wan wuli ba U Tienu ñima ki: A waalaba buoli! ŋma tundi yi ke yi sani U Tienu mutuoli yaali n cuoni?
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.
Waani man i tuona nni ke i lebdi i yenyienu. Da kubi man i pala nni ke: «Ti tie Abrahama yaabila!» kelima, diidi man a tana ne: N maadi yi ke U Tienu ba fidi ki cedi ke ŋan kpandi Abrahama bila.
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.
Tin faami! Bi bobni li yali ki ba cua ki guli i tiidi: Ya tubu kuli ki loni luanŋanli bi ba cua bu ki juu bu u muu.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Lani ke ku niwulgu buali o: Ti ba tieni ledi?
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.
ke o ŋmiani ba: li ya tie ke yua pia liada lie, wan teni yua ki pia, liadyenli. Yua pia ti jiedi mɔ, wan bɔgdi ki teni yua ki pia.
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
A patendgaala (lonpogaala) mɔ bo cua ke wan wuli ba U Tienu ñima. Bi bo buali Jan: ... Canbaa, ti ba tieni ledi?
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
... ke o ŋmiani ba, Da gaa man ti patendi (lonpo) ke ti cie Gobna n seni 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.
Sijenba mɔ den buali o: ... Ke tinba i, ti mɔ ba tieni ledi? ... O den ŋmiani ba, da fie man obá ligi, ki gɔ da fani ku faagu obá po: I pali ṅ ya mani i ŋmaapani po.
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 ye li dandanli nni paaa, ki ji den buali bi bá nni, bii Jan n baa tie O Candaano.
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.
Ke Jan ŋmiani bi kuli: ... Min wan wuu yi mi ñima nni. Ama o nulo ba cua, ki pia u paalu ki cie nni. Mii dagdi yeni min lodi o taacagbanu. Wani, o ba wuli yi mi Foŋanma yeni U Tienu muu nni.
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 dilendyetonga, ki ba lendi o dii, ki wodi i diŋami ki kuodi o bɔnbuali nni. Ku fengu wani, o ba lu gu ya muu n kan baa jundi (gbeni) nni.
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Jan gɔ ŋanbi ki puuni bi niba U Tienu ñɔmaama n buali maama, muandi ba laabamanli.
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, o bo jalgi o bado Herodi yeni wan kuani Herodiati, o ninjawaalo denpua, ki gɔ tieni ya tuonbiadi n yabi.
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Herodi gɔ bo cuo Jan ki luoni o dansalgi ki pugni o tuonbiadi po.
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 cua ke Jan n wuli ba U Tienu ñima. Ke Jan wuli Jesu mɔ U Tienu ñima. Ama, ya yogu ke Jesu den jaandi, ke Tanpoli po 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 Mi Foŋanma jiidi o po, ki naani nani li lanjeli yeni, ke nialu bă ñani tanpoli po ki maadi: ... A tie n bibuadga. N pali mani a po boncianla.
23 And Jesus himself was, when he began, about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, who was the son of Heli,
