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],
Afost činčsprjače d aj kum caru alu Rimuluj Tiberije ančiput s vladjaskă. Poncije Pilat afost upravitelju ăn regije Judeje. Herod avladit ăn regije Galileje, a fratusov Filip avladit ăn regije Itureje š Trahonitide, a Lizanije avladit ăn regije Abilene.
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.
Š Ana š Kaifa afost marj popurj ăn Jeruzalem. Ăn vrijamjaja Dimizov rubja alu Ivan, bijatu alu Zaharija, ăn pustinje.
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]!”
Jel apljikat ăn tuatje lokurj pănglă apă Jordan s rubjaskă alu lumjej k trjebje s s bătjază s pokazaskă kum sa okrinit dăla grešală š Dimizov lja oprostit grešala.
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]!
Kum askris proroku Izaija, Ivan afost “glasu karje strigă ăn pustinje: ‘Pripremic drumu d Domnu š očistic d jel stazilje!
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]!
Ispunic tuată dolina š poravnic tot djalu š brjegu! Ispravic drumu karje strămb š poravnic aja čije nuje ravno!
6 Then people [SYN] everywhere will understand how God can save [MTY] [people].”
Tuată lumja osă vjadje spasjala alu Dimizovuluj!”
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?])
Ivan rubja alu mulc lumje karje vinja s s bătjază: “Voj, šarpilor! Činje va zăs k aša d ljaznje putjec s fuđic dăla kaznă karje Dimizov trimjatje?
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!’
Fičec binje karje arată k vas okrinit dăla grešala avuastră. Š vu ănšălăc akă găndic k ištjec sigurni samo daja če ištjec sămănca alu Abraham. Ali jo vu zăk, Dimizov puatje d bulovanjištja s stvurjaskă kupi alu 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].”
Dimizov uskoro osă luvjaskă ku sukurja ăn tot ljemnu karje nu dă bun plod. Tot ljemnu karje nu dă bun plod osă fije tijat š arunkat ăn fok.”
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]?”
Antribat mulc lumje p Ivan: “Atunča če trjebje s fičem?”
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.”
Ivan lja zăs: “Činje arje duavă kămăšj, trjebje s dja alu ălja karje narje ničuna. A činje arje mănkarje, trjebje s podiljaskă ku ălja karje narje.”
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]?”
Avinjit s s bătjază čak š carinikurlje š la tribat: “Učiteljulje, če trjebje s fičem?”
13 He said to them, “Do not take from the people any more money than [the Roman government] tells you to take!”
Ivan lja zăs: “Nu lăc maj marje porezu njego če je lumja datorj.”
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.”
Š la tribat vuastja: “A če trjebje noj s fičem?” Ivan lja zăs: “Nu lăc banji dăla nimilja ku săla š p nimilja nu punjec minčunj s dobidic banji. Njego fic zadovoljni ku plata avuastră.”
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.
Kum lumja očekuja k Kristu ăndată vinje, toc ăn inimă s ăntriba dal je Ivan Kristu.
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)
Daja Ivan alu toc azăs: “Jo p voj bătjez ku apa, ali vinje njeko maj marje d minje, atăta d marje k jo nu sănt dostojan čak s ji fiuv argat. Jel p voj osă bătjază ku Sufljetu alu Svăntuluj š ku foku.
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).”
Jel osă fije kašă omu karje odvojaštje gruvu dăla jarbă. Gruvu osă sprimjaskă ăn ostavă, a jarba osă apringă ku foku karje nikad nu prestanjaštje s argă.”
18 John kept telling people many things to urge them [to turn to God], as he told them the good message [from God].
Ivan rubja alu lumjej Bună vorbă d Dimizov ku multje altje opomenje.
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.
Ivan la intja alu toc la ukorit p Herod, karje irja vladaru dăn regije Galileje, daja če sa ănsurat ku Herodijada, karje afost mujarja alu fratisov, š d multje altje rovj ča fukut Herod.
20 But Herod [had his soldiers] put John in prison. That was another evil thing he did.
Ali kănd la ukorit Ivan, Herod p tot aja adodajit još unu rov: jel adat alu vuastja aluj s puje p Ivan ăn kisuarje.
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.
Majdată njego če p Ivan la pus ăn kisuarje, kănd Ivan bătizat p toc karje avinjit la jel, jel bătizat š p Isusu. Atunča kănd Isusu sa rugat, čerju sa diškis,
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!”
š Sufljetu alu Svăntuluj sa slubuzăt p jel ăn oblik kašă golubu. Dăn čerj sa uzăt glasu: “Tu ješt Bijatu alu mjov p karje jo vrjauv! Tu ješt radostu alu mjov!”
23 When Jesus began [his work for God], he was about 30 years old. It was {[People]} thought that he was [the son of] Joseph. [Joseph was the son] of Heli.
