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],
| لە ساڵی پازدەمینی حوکمڕانی تێباریۆس قەیسەر، کاتێک پیلاتۆسی پۆنتی فەرمانڕەوای یەهودیا بوو، هێرۆدسی ئەنتیپاس فەرمانڕەوای جەلیل بوو، فیلیپۆسی براشی فەرمانڕەوای ئیتۆریە و تەراخۆنیتس بوو، لیسانیۆس فەرمانڕەوای ئەبیلینە بوو، |
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.
| لە سەردەمی سەرۆک کاهینیێتی حەنا و قەیافا، لە دەشتودەر پەیامی خودا بۆ یەحیای کوڕی زەکەریا هات. |
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]!”
| ئیتر بە هەموو ناوچەکانی دەوروبەری ڕووباری ئوردوندا دەگەڕا، جاڕی لەئاوهەڵکێشانی تۆبەکردنی دەدا بۆ گوناه بەخشین. |
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]!
| وەک لە پێشبینییەکانی پەڕتووکی ئیشایای پێغەمبەردا نووسراوە: [کەسێک لە چۆڵەوانی هاوار دەکات و دەڵێت: «ڕێگا بۆ هاتنی یەزدان ئامادە بکەن، ڕێچکەکانی بۆ ڕێکبخەن.» |
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]!
| هەموو دۆڵێک پڕ دەبێتەوە و هەموو چیا و گردێک ڕۆدەچێت، ڕێگا خواروخێچەکان ڕاست دەبنەوە و سەختەکانیش ئاسان دەبن، |
6 Then people [SYN] everywhere will understand how God can save [MTY] [people].”
| هەموو مرۆڤایەتی ڕزگاریی خودا دەبینن!] |
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?])
| یەحیا بەو خەڵکانەی دەگوت کە دەهاتن تاکو لە ئاویان هەڵکێشێت: «ئەی بێچووە ماران، کێ ئاگاداری کردوونەتەوە لە دەست تووڕەیی داهاتوو هەڵبێن؟ |
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!’
| با بەرهەمێکتان هەبێت لە تۆبەکردن بوەشێتەوە. بە خۆتان مەڵێن:”ئیبراهیم باوکمانە.“پێتان دەڵێم، خودا دەتوانێت لەم بەردانە نەوە بۆ ئیبراهیم دروستبکات. |
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].”
| ئەوەتا تەور خراوەتە سەر ڕەگی دار، هەر دارێک بەرهەمی باش نەدات، دەبڕدرێتەوە و فڕێدەدرێتە ناو ئاگرەوە.» |
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]?”
| خەڵکەکە پرسیاریان لێکرد: «کەواتە چی بکەین؟» |
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.”
| وەڵامی دانەوە: «ئەوەی دوو کراسی هەیە، با یەکێکیان بداتە ئەوەی کە نییەتی، ئەوەش کە نانی هەیە، با هەمان شت بکات.» |
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]?”
| باجگرانیش بۆ لەئاوهەڵکێشان هاتن، لێیان پرسی: «مامۆستا، ئێمە چی بکەین؟» |
13 He said to them, “Do not take from the people any more money than [the Roman government] tells you to take!”
| پێی گوتن: «لەوەی بۆتان دانراوە زیاتر وەرمەگرن.» |
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.”
| سەربازانیش پرسیاریان لێکرد: «ئەی ئێمە چی بکەین؟» یەحیاش وەڵامی دانەوە: «خاوە لە کەس وەرمەگرن و بوختان مەکەن، بە موچەکانتان ڕازی بن.» |
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.
| گەل لە چاوەڕوانیدا بوون، هەموو لە دڵی خۆیاندا دەربارەی یەحیا لێکیان دەدایەوە کە لەوانەیە یەحیا خۆی مەسیح بێت. |
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)
| یەحیا وەڵامی هەمووانی دایەوە: «من لە ئاوتان هەڵدەکێشم، بەڵام یەکێک دێت لە من بەتواناترە، ئەوەی من شایانی ئەوە نیم کە قەیتانی پێڵاوەکانی بکەمەوە. ئەو لە ڕۆحی پیرۆز و لە ئاگرتان هەڵدەکێشێت. |
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).”
| شەنی بەدەستەوەیە بۆ پاککردنەوەی جۆخینەکەی، گەنمەکە لە ئەمباردا کۆدەکاتەوە و قەسەڵەکەش بە ئاگرێکی نەکوژاوە دەسووتێنێت.» |
18 John kept telling people many things to urge them [to turn to God], as he told them the good message [from God].
| بە زۆر شتی دیکەش ئامۆژگاری گەلی دەکرد و مژدەی دەدانێ. |
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.
| بەڵام کاتێک یەحیا سەرزەنشتی هێرۆدسی ئەنتیپاسی فەرمانڕەوای جەلیلی کردبوو لەبەر ئەوەی کە هێرۆدیای براژنی خۆی هێنابوو و هەروەها لەبەر هەموو ئەو خراپانەی کردبووی، |
20 But Herod [had his soldiers] put John in prison. That was another evil thing he did.
| ئەم خراپەیەشی خستە پاڵ هەموو ئەوانە، یەحیای لە زیندان بەندکرد. |
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.
| کاتێک گەل هەموو لە ئاو هەڵکێشران، عیساش لە ئاو هەڵکێشرا. کاتێک کە عیسا نوێژی دەکرد ئاسمان کرایەوە و |
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!”
| ڕۆحی پیرۆز لە شێوەی جەستەی کۆترێک لەسەری نیشتەوە و دەنگێک لە ئاسمانەوە هات: «تۆ کوڕی خۆشەویستمی، بە تۆ زۆر دڵشادم.» |
