< 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,
Luungwanglong Teberius ih asih paang banga phansiit adi; Pontius Pilat ah Judia ni Kobono angta, Hirod ah Galili phansiitte angta, heh no Philip ah langla Ituria nyia Trakonite phansiitte angta; Lisania ah Abilini hadaang phansiitte angta,
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
eno Annas nyia Kaiphas ah romwah phokhothoon ang nyuuta. Erah tokdi phisaang hah ni Jekaria sah Joon suh Rangte ih jengkhaap baatta.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Eno Joon ih Jordaan Juungko ni Rangte tiit ah tumbaat kaatta, “Sen rangdah nawa ngaak hanno juungtem an, eno ba Rangte ih sen rangdah ah biin anaan han.”
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!
Erah ah khowah Isaia leedap ni raangthiin cho angta: “Mih phisaang hah ni riingla; ‘Teesu raang ih lam ban hoon thiin an; Heh khoomtheng lamjun ih tan an!
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;
Hoongbeng haleng loong ah ebook et ah, kong akaan loong ah hoongthung hane ih hoon ah. lam koongkot loong ah lamjun ih hoon ah, lamthih loong ah lamse ih hoon ah.
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Rangte jiin nawa khopiiroidong ah warep ih tup ah!”
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?
Miloong hantek Joon ih juungtem toom tem he ih ra rum taha. Joon ih liirumta, “Pu sen loong ah!” “O ih baat tahan Rangte ih echamnaang theng daapkaat ha dowa sen epui etheng eah?
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.
Rangdah nawa elek elang ih sen reeraang pakna nawa ih noisok anbah. Sen chamchi nah seng Abraham sutoom ih laklak nakwaan an. Abraham sutoom bah Rangte ih jong ah toon ano botseh jen hoon et ah!
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.
Bang hehing nah joot haat suh chaang ah ban thiin et ha; hetiikmuh bang loong ah joot haat ano we nah haattak ah.”
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Miloong ih heh suh cheng rumta, “Erah ang abah, seng ih tumjih et theng ah?”
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.
Heh ih ngaakbaat rumta, “O di samsong enyi jeela esiit ah samsong mute suh kotjih, erah damdi o di phaksat jeela rah ih pheekot et theng.”
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Mararah sokse seete nep juungtem ra taha, eno cheng rumta, “Nyootte, seng ih tumjih reejih ah?”
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
Eno Joon ih baat rumta, “Sokse mathan seejih ah erah ba se an erah tokkhodoh ehan nak mook se an.”
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.
Mararah sipaahi ih nep heh suh cheng rumta, seng ih aleh? Tumjih etjih ah? Heh ih baat rumta, “Mih dowa ngun chaan ih nakmok suh an adoleh mih lathika doh ethih etu ih nak nan an. Sen ngun la di mathan cholan erah suh roon an.”
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Mina loong ah ih choocho ih dong laalom rumta, eno neng ih Joon asuh Kristo tam angla ih thun rumta.
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.
Eno Joon ih loongtang suh baat rumta, “Ngah ih juung nawa ih juungtem rumhala, enoothong nga lini mih wasiit nga nang ih elong raaha. Ngah bah heh lakhoop pak taajoh tha uh taliikang. Heh ih bah Esa Chiiala nyia we nawa ih juungtem 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.
Heh jiinni nunrek je ah, erah ih raan ah dannun ano pung nah toonthiin ah, eno hephaang loong ah we nah babah uh lamettheng adoh tak ah.”
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Joon ih hejaat hejaat lam nawa ih miloong asuh Ruurang Ese ah nyootsoot leh neng roidong ah elek raangtaan ih baat rumta.
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,
Enoothong Joon ih Kobono Hirod asuh liita, tumeah heh ih Hirodias heh no minuh ah, kapta, erah damdi uh ethih loong ephoop reeta.
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Hirod ih Joon ah phaatak ni sakta rah boot thetreeta.
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,
Miloong juungtem lini, Jisu ih nep heh juungtem ah we temta. Heh ih rangsoom adi, rang kaasak ah daap eta,
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.”
eno Esa Chiiala ah hansi ni wotuupi likhiik heh khothung ni datpura taha. Eno rang ni root esiit dongjengta, “An ah nga mongnook sah. Ngah an suh eroon elang.”
