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,
Ary tamin’ ny taona fahadimy ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Tiberia Kaisara, fony Pontio Pilato no governora tany Jodia, ary Heroda no mpanapaka tany Galilia, ary Filipo rahalahiny no mpanapaka ny tany Itoria sy Trakonitisy, ary Lysania no mpanapaka tany Abilena,
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
ary Anasy sy Kaiafa no mpisoronabe, ― dia tonga tamin’ i Jaona, zanak’ i Zakaria, tany an-efitra ny tenin’ Andriamanitra.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Ary nankany amin’ ny tany rehetra any amoron’ i Jordana izy nitory ny batisan’ ny fibebahana ho famelan-keloka;
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!
araka ny voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tenin’ Isaia mpaminany hoe: Injany! misy feon’ ny miantso mafy any an-efitra hoe: Amboary ny lalan’ i Jehovah, Ataovy mahitsy ny lalan-kalehany.
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;
Ny lohasaha rehetra hototofana, Ary ny tendrombohitra sy ny havoana rehetra haetry, Ary ny meloka hahitsy, Ary ny lalana mikitoantoana hohamarinina;
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Ary ny nofo rehetra hahita ny famonjen’ Andriamanitra.
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?
Dia hoy izy tamin’ ny vahoaka izay nankeo aminy mba hataony batisa: Ry taranaky ny menarana, iza no nanoro hevitra anareo handositra ny fahatezerana ho avy?
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.
Koa mamoaza voa miendrika ny fibebahana; ary aza manao anakampo hoe: Manana an’ i Abrahama ho rainay izahay; fa lazaiko aminareo fa Andriamanitra mahay manangana zanaka ho an’ i Abrahama avy amin’ ireto vato ireto.
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.
Ary, indro, efa mipetraka ao amin’ ny fototry ny hazo sahady ny famaky; koa ny hazo rehetra izay tsy mamoa voa tsara dia hokapohina ka hatsipy any anaty afo.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Ary ny vahoaka nanontany an’ i Jaona hoe: inona ary no hataonay?
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.
Ary namaly izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Izay manana akanjo roa dia aoka hanome ho an’ ny tsy manana; ary izay manan-kanina, dia aoka hanao toy izany koa izy.
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Dia avy koa ny mpamory hetra sasany mba hataony batisa ka nanao taminy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, inona no hataonay?
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
Ary hoy izy taminy: Aza mampandoa mihoatra noho izay notendrena halainareo.
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.
Ary nisy miaramila koa nanontany azy ka nanao hoe: Ary inona kosa no mba hataonay? Dia hoy izy taminy: Aza mitohatoha foana amin’ olona, ary aza miampanga lainga, ary mianina amin’ ny karamanareo.
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Fa raha mbola niandry ny olona, ka samy nisaina an’ i Jaona tam-pony, na izy no Kristy, na tsia,
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.
dia namaly Jaona ka nanao tamin’ izy rehetra hoe: Izaho manao batisa anareo amin’ ny rano, fa avy Izay mahery noho izaho, ka tsy miendrika hamaha ny fehin-kapany aza aho; Izy no hanao batisa anareo amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna sy ny afo;
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.
eny an-tànany ny fikororohany hanadiovany tsara ny no am-pamoloany ka hanangonany ny vary ho any amin’ ny sompiny; fa ny akofa sy ny mololo hodorany amin’ ny afo tsy azo vonoina.
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Ary fananarana maro hafa koa no notoriny tamin’ ny olona.
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,
Fa Heroda mpanapaka, nony nanarin’ i Jaona noho ny amin’ i Herodiasy, vadin-drahalahiny, sy noho ny ratsy rehetra izay nataony,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
dia nanidy an’ i Jaona tao an-tranomaizina ho fanampin’ izany rehetra izany koa.
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,
Ary rehefa natao batisa ny vahoaka rehetra, ary Jesosy koa efa natao batisa sy nivavaka, dia nisokatra ny lanitra;
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.”
ary ny Fanahy Masìna nidina teo amboniny, ka ny endriny dia tahaka ny voromailala; ary nisy feo avy tany an-danitra nanao hoe: Hianao no Zanako malalako; Hianao no sitrako.
