< Luke 3 >
1 Now, in the fifteenth year of the supremacy of Tiberius Caesar, —Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and, Philip his brother, tetrarch of Ituraea and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanius, tetrarch of Abylene, —
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 in the High-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, came a word of God unto John the son, of Zechariah, in rue desert;
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, proclaiming an immersion of repentance into 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 discourses of Isaiah the prophet: A voice of one crying aloud! In the desert, prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight, be making 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 chasm, shall be filled up, and, every mountain and hill, be made low; and the, crooked, places shall become, straight, and the, rugged, places, smooth ways; —
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 was saying, therefore, unto the multitudes who were going forth to be immersed by him—Broods of vipers! who suggested to 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 do not begin to be saying within yourselves, As our father, we have, Abraham; for, I say unto you—God is able, out of these stones, to raise up children unto 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, even the axe, unto the root of the trees is being laid; every tree, therefore, not bringing forth [good] fruit, is to be hewn down, and, into fire, to be cast.
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 multitude began to question him saying—What, then, shall we do?
Miloong ih heh suh cheng rumta, “Erah ang abah, seng ih tumjih et theng ah?”
11 And, answering, he said unto them—He that hath two tunics, let him share with him that hath none, and, he that hath food, in like manner, let him be doing.
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, even tax-collectors, to be immersed; and they said unto him—Teacher! what, shall we, do?
Mararah sokse seete nep juungtem ra taha, eno cheng rumta, “Nyootte, seng ih tumjih reejih ah?”
13 And, he, said unto them, Nothing more than what is appointed you, exact ye.
Eno Joon ih baat rumta, “Sokse mathan seejih ah erah ba se an erah tokkhodoh ehan nak mook se an.”
14 Then were questioning him, soldiers also, saying—What shall, even we, do? And he said unto them—Molest ye, no one, neither accuse falsely; and be content with your supplies.
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 Now, as the people were in expectation, and all were deliberating in their hearts, concerning John, —whether by any means, he, might be, 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, saying unto all—I, indeed, in water, am immersing you, but he that is mightier than I, cometh, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose, —he, will immerse you in Holy Spirit and 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 whose fan is in his hand, to clear out his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his granary; but, the chaff, will he burn up with fire unquenchable.
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 So then indeed, as to many things and various, he exhorted, and continued telling his glad-message unto 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 concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother, and concerning all the wicked things 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 unto all, —he locked up John in prison.
Hirod ih Joon ah phaatak ni sakta rah boot thetreeta.
21 Now it came to pass, when one and all the people were immersed, Jesus also, having been immersed, and being at prayer, 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, in bodily appearance, as a dove, upon him, —and, a voice out of heaven, came—Thou, art my Son, the Beloved, in thee, I delight.
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.”
23 And, Jesus himself, was, when he began, about thirty years of age, being the son, as was supposed—of Joseph, of Heli:
Jisu heh mootkaat phangmota tokdi, Heh ah paang rookjom taan angta. Heh ah miwasah, erah raang ih miloong ih, Josep sah ih thunta, Josep ah Heli sah angta,
