Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanius the tetrarch of Abilene,
Kawoy Xibaaryoosi Roome biittan kawotin, tammanne ichchashantho laythan, Phenxe Philaaxoosi Yihuda haariya wode, Heroodisi Galiila haariya wode, iya ishaa Filiphphoosi Ixuuriyasanne Xirakkonddosa haariya wode, Lisaniyoosi Ablaanisa haariya wode,
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
Hannaranne Qayyafara kahine halaqa gidi de7ishin, Xoossaa qaalay Zakkariyaasa na7aa Yohaannisakko bazzo biittaa yis.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins;
Yohaannisi, “Hintte nagaraappe simmitenne xammaqetite. Xoossay hintte nagaraa atto gaana” yaagidi tamaarssishe Yorddaanose Shaafaa heeran de7iya biitta ubbaa bis.
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Hessika nabey Isayaasi ba maxaafan, “Bazzo giddon ba qaala dhoqqu oothidi, waassiya uraa qaalay, ‘Godaa ogiya giigisite, horogaakka piddi oothite.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways [shall be] made smooth;
Aafo ubbay kumana, zumaynne dereynne ziqqi gaana. Wobbe ogey luulana, giigonna horogay qinxi gaana.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Asho ma77ida ubbay, Xoossaa ashuwa be7ana’” gidi xaafidayssada hanis.
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized by him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Yohaannisi, ba kushen xammaqettanaw yida asaakko, “Hinttenoo, shoosha nayto yaanaw de7iya hanquwafe attana mela hinttena zoriday oonee?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for [our] father: for I say to you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Hiza, hintte simuwa qonccisiya lo77o ooso oothite, hintte wozanan, ‘Nuus, nu aaway Abrahamey de7ees gidi ceeqettofite.’ Haa si7ite, ha shuchchatappe Xoossay Abrahames na7a kessanaw dandda7ees.
9 And now also the ax is laid to the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Hekko, beexey mithaa xaphon de7ees. Hiza, lo77o ayfe ayfonna mitha ubbay qanxettidi taman yegettana” yaagis.
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
Asay, “Yaatin nuuni ay oothinoo?” yaagidi oychchidosona.
11 He answereth and saith to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath provisions, let him do likewise.
Yohaannisi zaaridi, “Nam77u afili de7iya asi baynnayssas immo. Kathi de7eyssi baynnayssas immo” yaagis.
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Master, what shall we do?
Qaraxa qanxiseyssati xammaqettanaw yidi, “Asttamaariyaw, nuuni ay oothinoo?” yaagidosona.
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
I zaaridi, “Hintte qanxisanaw kiitettoyssafe aathidi ekkofite” yaagis.
14 And the soldiers likewise asked him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse [any] falsely, and be content with your wages.
Qassi wotaaddareti yidi, “Nuuni ay oothinoo” yaagidi oychchidosona. Yohaannisi, “Oodebaakka wolqqan dafidi ekkofite, oonakka worddon mootoppite, hintte damoozey hinttew gido; ufayttidi de7ite” yaagis.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, whether he was the Christ, or not;
Asay Kiristtoosa naagishe de7iya gisho, Yohaannisa, “I Kiristtoosa gidanddeshshaa?” gidi qoppidosona.
16 John answered, saying to [them] all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:
Yohaannisi ubbaas zaaridi, “Taani hinttena haathan xammaqays, shin taappe aadhdhidi wolqqaameyssi yaana. Taani iya caammaa wodoruwa billanaw bessonna asi. I hinttena Geeshsha Ayyaananinne taman xammaqana.
17 Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
Wudumman de7iya kathaa polo geeshshanaw pithey iya kushen de7ees. Geeshsha kathaa ba shaaliyan qolana; kaliya dhayonna taman xuuggana” yaagis.
18 And many other things in his exhortation he preached to the people.
Qassi Yohaannisi asaa daro zore zoridi Wonggelaa odis.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
Shin Yohaannisi Heroodisi ba ishaa machchiw, Herodiyada, ekkida gishonne haraa iita oosota gisho kaccida wode,
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
Heroodisi kaseyssa bolla haraba ubbaa gujjidi Yohaannisa woyne gelssis.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Yohaannisi qashettanaappe sinthe asaa ubbaa xammaqidi simmin, Yesuusikka qassi xammaqettis. I woossishin saloy dooyettis.
22 And the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
Geeshsha Ayyaanay holleda benttishe iya bolla uttis. Saloppe “Taani dosiya na7ay nena; ne tana ufayssaasa yaagiya” qaalay yis.
23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, who was [the son] of Heli,
