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],
Кала Тибериё дэшупанч бэрш сас императороса, Понтиё Пилато сас баро рай андэ Иудея, Иродо сас рай тетрархо андэ Галилея, о Филипо, пхрал лэско, — рай тетрархо андэ Итурея и Трахонитско пхув, а Лисаниё — рай тетрархо андэ Авилиния.
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.
Андэ кодья вряма сас барэ рашаенца Анас и Каиафа. Сас лав Дэвлэстар кав Иоано, шаво лэ Захарияско, андэ мал.
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]!”
Иоано прожалас пай всавори пхув пашав Иордано и акхарэлас манушэн тэ каисавэн и тэ болэнпэ, кай о Дэл тэ эртисарэл лэндирэ бэзэха.
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]!
Сар запистрасордо андо лил пророкоско Исаяско: «Гласо цыписавэл андэ мал: Гытон о дром Раести, ворта терэн дрома важ Лэсти!
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]!
Всаворэ оврагоря пхэрдёна, всаворэ барэ и цэкнэ плая тэлёна, бангэ дрома тернапэ ворта, нагладосавэ дрома гладосавэна,
6 Then people [SYN] everywhere will understand how God can save [MTY] [people].”
и всаворэ мануша дикхэна фэрисаримос Дэвлэско».
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?])
Иоано пхэнэлас манушэнди, савэ авэнас тэ болэнпэ: — Родо сапано! Ко пхэндя тумэнди тэ нашэн холятар, сави жал пэр тумэндэ?
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!’
Сикавэн рындонэнца, со тумэ каисайле, и на гындон: «Дад амаро исин Авраамо». Пхэнав тумэнди, со Дэл ваздэла андай кадэла бара шаворэн Авраамости.
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].”
Акэ, товэр пашав корнё дрэвоско пашлёл: всаворэ дрэворя, савэ на анэн лашо плодо, пхагэн товэрэса и шон андэ яг.
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]?”
Пушэнас лэстар и мануша: — Со амэнди тэ терас?
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.”
Вов пхэндя лэнди: — Кастэ исин дуй гада, мэк отдэл екх кодлэсти, кастэ нинай, кастэ исин хамос, мэк дэл епаш кодлэсти, кастэ нинай.
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]?”
Авиле лэстэ тэ болэнпэ стидэмаря налогонэндирэ и пушэнас лэстар: — Сытяримари! Со амэнди тэ терас?
13 He said to them, “Do not take from the people any more money than [the Roman government] tells you to take!”
Вов пхэндя лэнди: — На лэн лэ манушэндар майбут колэстар, со трэбуй тумэнди тэ лэн.
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.”
Пушэнас лэс и халавдэ: — Со амэнди тэ терас? Вов пхэндя лэнди: — На залэн манушэндар зораса. На хохавэн лэ манушэн, жувэн пэ кола ловэ, савэ тумэнди потинэн.
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.
Всаворэ мануша ажутярэнас и гындонас андэ пэсти водя пала Иоано, чи на вов о Христосо.
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)
Иоано пхэндя всаворэнди: — Мэ болав тумэн паеса, нэ авэла Кодва, Ко майзорало мандар. Мэ на ашав тэ роспхандав Лэсти тэраха. Вов болэла тумэн Свэнтонэ Духоса и ягаса.
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).”
И андэ Лэстирэ васт ганавди, вов жужарэла пэско токо и стидэла ворзо Пэско андэ пусын, ай шэлуха спхабарэла андэ яг, сави на пэрэашэла тэ пхабол.
18 John kept telling people many things to urge them [to turn to God], as he told them the good message [from God].
Кала и авэр будэр лава пхэнэлас лэнди Иоано, кала пхэнэлас лэнди Радосаво Лав.
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.
Иоано ля тэ ужылисарэл раес тетрархос Иродос, важ кода со вов ля палав ром Иродиада, ромня пэстирэ пхралэстиря, и колэсти со вов терэлас найлашэ рындоря.
20 But Herod [had his soldiers] put John in prison. That was another evil thing he did.
Тунчи Иродо тердя инке екх вырито рындо — пхандадя лэ Иоанос андо баруно.
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.
Кала всаворэ мануша болдэпэ, кадя ж сас болдо и Исусо. Тунчи Вов мангляпэ Дэвлэс, и отпхэрнадяпэ болыбэн.
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!”
И Свэнто Духо, сар голубо, сжыля по Исусо. Сас гласо упрал, саво пхэнэлас: — Ту Шаво Мэрно, савэс Мэ камав! Ту — Мэрно радомос!
