Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being Governor of Judaea, Herod Tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip Tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias Tetrarch of Abilene,
Ni mi ise u tso don tra wa Tiberia Caesar - Chu, u, Pontiyus Bilatus ana gomna Judiya, Hiridus ka Chu ni Galili, vayima Filibus ka chu ni Ituriyada Tarakunitas, mba Lasaniyas ana Chu ni Abaliya.
2 during the High-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, a message from God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the Desert.
Ni nton wa Hanana ba kayafa bana bi ninkoh bitun tre Irji kaye ni Yahaya vren Zakariya ni miji.
3 John went into all the district about the Jordan proclaiming a baptism of the penitent for the forgiveness of sins;
Sei ka zren kagon gbugbulu mi yie'u nei u urdu, dani hla tre Irji ni bawu, a yo'u ba duba ye kpa Irji nda dun ba sukpa ni ba wu, duba wru lah tre mba hle ni bawu.
4 as it is written in the book of the prophet Isaiah, "The voice of one crying aloud! 'In the Desert prepare ye a road for the Lord: make His highway straight.
Na wa ba na nha nvunvu u tre Anabi Ishaya ndi llan di ri si yo ni miji, mlan koh Bachi tie dun koh ma hi yreyre.
5 Every ravine shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill levelled down, the crooked places shall be turned into straight roads, and the rugged ways into smooth;
Ko san ngbulu ba shu, u ngbulu ba ba gble tita ba kma ti fime, u nkoh bi tie memme ba kma bi ba ba shu, ni ngbulu baba tita ba ba yra ba nda kma me nkoh ni bubu biwa be gblegble me'a.
6 and then shall all mankind see God's salvation.'"
U bi he nimi kpa ba to Ceto u Irji.
7 Accordingly John used to say to the crowds who came out to be baptized by him, "O vipers' brood, who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
Sai Yohana a hla ni gbugbu ndji wa ba si ye dun sukpa bawu'a. Yohana yo ba ndi “biyi mri iwan, anha hla ni yiwu dun yi tsutsu ni nfu wa ani ye ni yiwu'a?”
8 Live lives which shall prove your change of heart; and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our forefather,' for I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones.
Nitu kii, kma tie klo kunkro wa ndi ba bre dun ba wru lla tre hle bawu dana ta tre ni kpamba ndi ki he ni Ibrahim wa a iti mbu, mi hla niwu Irji hei ni gbengble wa ani zu titi biyi kma tie mri ni Ibrahim rji ni tita bi yi.
9 And even now the axe is lying at the root of the trees, so that every tree which fails to yield good fruit will quickly be hewn down and thrown into the fire."
Ko zizan ba mlan gla tie nitu nja bi ba kunkro. U wawu kunkro bi wandi bana klo bi na ba gen ba nda vu ba sru ni lu.”
10 The crowds repeatedly asked him, "What then are we to do?"
U gbugbu ndji baki mye'u ndi, “Zizan ki tie ni he?”
11 "Let the man who has two coats," he answered, "give one to the man who has none; and let the man who has food share it with others."
A kasa nda tre “Indji wandi a he ni nklon ha, ka ban rhi ni ndji wandi ana he ni rhi na, u ndji wa ahe ni lah ka tie naki ngame.
12 There came also a party of tax-gatherers to be baptized, and they asked him, "Rabbi, what are we to do?"
Bi kpa ban ba ye du ba sukpa ni bawu, nda tre, “Ndji-u-tsro, ki tie ni he?”
13 "Do not exact more than the legal amount," he replied.
A hla ni bawu ndi, “Nata kpa inklen zan kpe wandi ba tre dun yi kpa na.”
14 The soldiers also once and again inquired of him, "And we, what are we to do?" His answer was, "Neither intimidate any one nor lay false charges; and be content with your pay."
Sojoji bari ngame ba mye, ndi, “U kita na? Ki tie ni he?” A bla hla ni bawu, “Na kpa nkleh niwo njo ni gbengble na, ndi na tie ce ti ndrjo na. Nji kpe-andi bi u mbi dun mla yi.”
15 And while the people were in suspense and all were debating in their minds whether John might possibly be the Anointed One,
Zizan wa ba ndji ba si ya nkoh ye u Kristi'a, wawu mba ba si rhimre ni suron mba nitu Yohana, ko wawu mba hi Kristi'a.
16 he answered the question by saying to them all, "As for me, I am baptizing you with water, but One mightier than I is coming, whose very sandal-strap I am not worthy to unfasten: He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and with fire.
Yohana a kasa ni bawu nda tre ndi, “Ime mi si sukpa ni yiwu ni mma, u ndji waa si ye ni koshi mu, a zan me ni gbengble, u mina tsra wa mi sie rjirji lagban u zama na. Wawu ni sukpa ni yiwu ni Ruhu Tsratsra ni lu.
17 His winnowing-shovel is in His hand to clear out His threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into His storehouse; but the chaff He will burn up in fire unquenchable."
Ahei ni mumu ni wo ma wandi ani tie ndu niwu nda zen memme bie nda ka waa bi zi nimi iwron. U ani gon biwa ba tie meme'a ni lu wa ana y'bi na.”
18 With many exhortations besides these he declared the Good News to the people.
Ni mi tsro mba Yohana a hla tre ndindi ni ndji ba.
19 But Herod the Tetrarch, being repeatedly rebuked by him about Herodias his brother's wife, and about all the wicked deeds that he had done,
Hiridus wa ana Chu, a son gran wa vayi ma Hiridiya, ni mbru meme kpie wa Hiridus azi tie'a,
20 now added this to crown all the rest, that he threw John into prison.
a ka biyi suru nhaa, ndi a ka Yohana tro ni brusuna.
21 Now when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the sky opened,
Inton wa ba sukpa ba ndji wawu, Yesu me ba sukpa'a niwu ngame, wa asi he ni mi bre wa ka toh shulu bu'u,
22 and the Holy Spirit came down in bodily shape, like a dove, upon Him, and a voice came from Heaven, which said, "Thou art My Son, dearly loved: in Thee is My delight."
wa toh Ruhu Tsatsar ka grji ye son nitu ma na ngyu, wa ka wo lan Irji ni shu, “Iwu yi wu vren mu wandi isuron mu a kpa wu. Suron mu ku si ni wu.”
23 And He--Jesus--when He began His ministry, was about thirty years old. He was the son (it was supposed) of Joseph, son of Heli,
