< Luke 3 >

1 When the Emperor Tiberius had been ruling [the Roman Empire] for 15 years, and while Pontius Pilate was the governor of Judea [district], and Herod [Antipas] was ruling Galilee [district], and his brother Philip was ruling Iturea and Trachonitis [districts], and Lysanius was ruling Abilene [district],
Y andré a berji pansch-decima e imperio de Tiberio Cæsar, sinando Poncio Pilato Chino baro de Judea, y Herodes Tetrarchâ de Galiléa, y desquero plano Philipo Tetrarchâ de Ituréa, y e chim de Trachônite, y Lysanias Tetrarchâ de Abilina,
2 and while Annas and Caiaphas were the high priests [in Jerusalem], God gave messages to Zechariah’s son John while he was living in the desolate region.
Sinando Manclayes es erajais Annás y Caiphas, abilló a varda e Erañoró opré Juan, chaboro de Zacharias, andré o desierto.
3 [So] John went all over the area close to the Jordan [River]. He kept telling people, “If you want [God] to forgive you for your sins, you must (repent/turn away from your sinful behavior) [before you ask me] to baptize [you]!”
Y abilló por saro o chim de Jordan garlando o muchobelar de penitencia somia mecos de grecos,
4 John was the one who [fulfilled] these words that had [been written] by the prophet Isaiah {that the prophet Isaiah had written} on a scroll [long ago]: In a desolate area, someone [SYN] will be heard shouting [to the people who pass by], “Prepare yourselves [to receive] the Lord when he comes! [Make yourselves ready so that you will be prepared when he comes], [just like people] straighten out the road [MET] [for an important official] [MET, DOU]!
Sasta sinela randado andré o embéo de las vardas de Isaias Propheta: Gole de yeque garlando andré ó desierto: Aparejad o drun e Erañoró, Querelad bustarias as sendas de ó.
5 [Just like people] level off all the places where the land rises and [just like they] fill all the ravines, and [just like people] make the road straight wherever it is crooked, and [just like people] make smooth the bumps in the road, [similarly you need to remove all the obstacles which prevent God from blessing you]!
Saro butron se perelará; y saro bur y plai se pejerá: y o torcido sinará enderezado: y os drunes fragosos allanados:
6 Then people [SYN] everywhere will understand how God can save [MTY] [people].”
Y dicará sari maas a golipen de Debél.
7 Although large groups of people came to John to be baptized {in order that he would baptize them}, [he knew that many of them were not sincere]. So he kept saying to them, “You [people are evil] [MET] [like] poisonous snakes! [I] warn you that [God] will some day punish [MTY] [everyone] who sins. And (do not think that you can escape [from his punishing] [MTY] [you if you do not turn from your sinful behavior!/did someone tell you] that you can escape [from his punishing] [MTY] [you if you do not turn from your sinful behavior]?) [RHQ] (OR, Who told you that you could escape [God’s punishment?])
Y penó á os manuces, que abillaban somia que los muchobelase: ¿Rati de birbirechas, coin penó á sangue á najar de la ira que ha de abillar?
8 Do what is appropriate for people who have truly turned from their sinful behavior! [God promised to give Abraham many] descendants. In order to fulfill that promise, God does not need you! I tell you that he can change these stones to make them descendants of Abraham! So do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We [(exc)] are descendants of Abraham, [so God will not punish us, even though we have] sinned!’
Querelad pues mibao cabalico de penitencia, y na os chitelais penar: Terelamos por batu á Abraham. Porque sangue penelo, que astisarela Debél de oconas barendañías ardiñar chabores á Abraham.
9 [God is ready to punish you if you do not turn away from your sinful behavior, just like a man] [MET] lays his axe at the roots [of a fruit] tree [to chop it down and throw it into the fire if it does not produce good fruit] [MET].”
Presas acana sinela chibada a tescharí á la raiz es carschtas, pues sari carschta, sos na diñele mibao lacho, sinará velada, y chibada andré a yacque.
10 [Then] various ones in the crowd asked John, “What shall we [(exc)] do [to escape God punishing us] (OR), [to show that we have repented]?”
Y le puchababan os manuces, y penaban! ¿Pues qué querelaremos?
11 He answered them, “If any of you has two shirts, you should give one of them to someone who has no shirt. If any of you has [plenty of] food, you should give some to those who have no food.”
Y rudelando les penaba: O manu sos terela duis coneles, díñele al manu sos na terela: y o sos terela que jamar, querele o matejo.
12 [Some] tax collectors came [and asked] to be baptized ([asked him] to baptize them}. They asked him, “Teacher, what shall we [(exc)] do [to please God]?”
Y abilláron tambien á ó os Publicanes, somia que os muchobelase, y le penáron: ¿Duquendio, qué querelaremos?
13 He said to them, “Do not take from the people any more money than [the Roman government] tells you to take!”
Y ó les penó: Na ustileis butér de ma os sinela penado.
14 Some soldiers asked him, “What about us? What should we [(exc)] do [to please God]?” He said to them, “Do not [say to anyone], ‘[If you(sg) do not give me] some money, I will hurt you,’ and do not take [people to court and] falsely accuse them of doing something wrong! And be content with your wages.”
Le puchababan tambien os jundunares, penando: ¿Y mu qué querelaremos? Y les penó: Na queraleis choro á cayque, ni le mareleis, y sineleis lacho sat jiré jayere.
15 People were expecting [that the Messiah would come soon]. Because of that, many of them wondered about John. [Some of them asked him] if he was the Messiah.
Y sasta os manuces creyesen, y os sares penchabasen andré desqueres carlochines, si por ventura Juan sinaba o Christo:
16 John replied to them all, “No, [I am not]. I used [only] water when I baptized you. But [the Messiah] will soon come! He is far greater than I am. [He is so great that] I am not worthy to [be like his slave and] untie his sandals [MET] [like] a slave would do! He will put [his] Holy Spirit within [MTY] you [to truly change your lives], and [he will judge others of you and punish you in] the fire [MET] [in hell]. (questioned)
Rudeló Juan, y penó á os sares: Menda aromali muchobelo sangue andré paní: Tami abillará avér butér silnó que menda, de coin na sinelo cabalico de despandar a correa de desqueres tirajais: ocola muchobelará sangue andré Peniche, y yaque:
17 He [is like a man] [MET] [who wants to] clear away the grain on the ground where it has been threshed {they have threshed it}. That man [uses] a huge fork [to throw the grain into the air] to separate the wheat from the chaff [MET], and then he cleans up the threshing area. [Similarly, God] will [separate righteous people from the evil people, like a man who] gathers the wheat into his storage area, and then he will burn [those who are like] chaff with a fire (that will never be put out/that will burn forever).”
De coin o bieldo sinela andré su baste; y alimpiará desquero era, y chibará ó gi andré su malabai, y la pus jachará sat yaque, que na se bedela.
18 John kept telling people many things to urge them [to turn to God], as he told them the good message [from God].
Y andiar anunciaba averias baribustrias buchias á la sueti andré sus exhortaciones.
19 He also rebuked [the ruler of the district], Herod [Antipas. He rebuked him] for [marrying] Herodias, his brother’s wife, [while his brother was still alive], and for doing many other evil things.
Tami Herodes ó Tetrarchâ; sinando reprehendido por ó á causa de Herodias romi de sun planó, y de sarias as buchias chorias que Herodes habia querdi,
20 But Herod [had his soldiers] put John in prison. That was another evil thing he did.
Anadio á sares tambien ocona de querelar pandar a Juan andré la estaripel.
21 [But before John was put in prison], when many people were being baptized {when he was baptizing many people}, after Jesus was baptized {he baptized Jesus} and Jesus was praying, the sky opened.
Y anacó, que sasta sari a sueti ustilase o muchobelar, tambien sinaba muchobelado Jesus; y sinando ó manguelando á Debél, se despandó o Tarpe:
22 Then the Holy Spirit, resembling a dove, descended upon [Jesus]. And [God] [SYN/EUP] spoke to Jesus from heaven, saying, “You [(sg)] are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you!”
Y pejó ostely opre ó el Peniche andré trupo, sasta gobaró: y se juneló ocono gole del Tarpe: Tucue sinelas minrió Chaboro camelado; andré tucue menda me alendelo.
