Luke 3
1 And in the fifteenth year of the government of Tiberius Caesar — Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother, tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene —
Tamy taom-paha folo-lime-ambi’ ty naha mpanjaka i Tiberio Kaisara, ie niragova e Iehodà t’i Pontio Pilato naho mpifeleke e Galilia t’i Heroda, naho mpifeleke e Itoria miharo am-pari’ i Trakonitisy t’i Filipo rahalahi’e, naho mpifeleke e Abilena t’i Lisania
2 Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests — there came a word of God unto John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness,
vaho tami’ty naha-talèm-pisoroñe i Anasy naho i Kaiafa, le nivotrake amy Jaona ana’ i Zakaria am-babangoañe añe ty saontsin’ Añahare.
3 and he came to all the region round the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of reformation — to remission of sins,
Nitsitsihe’e i tane fiaria’ i saka Iordaneiy nitalily ty filiporam-pisolohoañe ho ami’ty fañahàn-kakeo;
4 as it hath been written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, 'A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye His paths;
ie pinatetse amy boken-tsara’ Isaia mpitokiy ty ti-hoe: Ty fiarañànaña’ i mikoike am-patram-bey añey: Hajario ty lala’ i Talè, Avantaño o oloñolo’eo,
5 every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straightness, and the rough become smooth ways;
Lembefañe ze hene goledoñe, aketrake ze atao vohitse naho tamboho, ho vantañeñe o mikelokelokeo, naho fonga hareneñe o lalañe tomoantoañeo;
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'
Vaho ho oni’ ze kila nofotse ty fandrombahan’ Añahare.
7 Then said he to the multitudes coming forth to be baptised by him, 'Brood of vipers! who did prompt you to flee from the coming wrath?
Le hoe re tamy lahialeñe nivovotse mb’ ama’e mb’eo halipotsey: O ry Tariran-dapetake! Ia ty nanoro anahareo hibotitsike amy haviñerañe mitotokey?
8 make, therefore, fruits worthy of the reformation, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have a father — Abraham; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise children to Abraham;
Ampiboaho vokatse mañeva soloho; le ko mamototse mitsakore an-troke ao ty hoe, Rae’ay t’i Abraàme. Itaroñako te mahafitroatse anake ho a i Abraàme amo vato retoañe t’i Andrianañahare.
9 and already also the axe unto the root of the trees is laid, every tree, therefore, not making good fruit is cut down, and to fire it is cast.'
Fa ampoto-katae eo henaneo i fekoñey; le ho firaeñe vaho hafetsak’ añ’afo ao ze hatae tsy mamoa voa soa.
10 And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, 'What, then, shall we do?'
Aa hoe ty ontane’ i lahialeñey ama’e: Ino ty hanoe’ay?
11 and he answering saith to them, 'He having two coats — let him impart to him having none, and he having victuals — in like manner let him do.'
Hoe ty natoi’e: Ze aman-tsaroñe roe, soa re te handiva ami’ty tsy ama’e; le hoe izay ka ze manañe mahakama.
12 And there came also tax-gatherers to be baptised, and they said unto him, 'Teacher, what shall we do?'
Pok’eo ka o mpamory vili-lohao halipotse, nanao ama’e ty hoe: O Mpañoke, ino ty hanoe’ay?
13 and he said unto them, 'Exact no more than that directed you.'
Le hoe re tam’iereo: Ko mangalake mandikoatse ty linily ho anahareo.
14 And questioning him also were those warring, saying, 'And we, what shall we do?' and he said unto them, 'Do violence to no one, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.'
Le hoe ty ontane’ o lahin-defoñeo: Izahay ka! Ino ty hanoe’ay? Le hoe re tam’iereo: Ko misenge hery ama’ ondaty, le ko manao talily vìlañe, vaho mimoneña amo karama’areoo.
15 And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ;
Amy fitamà’ ondatioy, le hene niereñere i Jaona añ’arofo te hera ie i Norizañey, ke tsy ie,
16 John answered, saying to all, 'I indeed with water do baptise you, but he cometh who is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to loose the latchet of his sandals — he shall baptise you with the Holy Spirit and with fire;
le hoe ty natoi’ i Jaona am’iareo iaby: Toe alìpoko an-drano ao nahareo, fa homb’eo ty maozatse te amako; tsy mañeva ahy ty hañaha o tomin-kana’eo. Ie ty handipotse anahareo an-Tio Masiñe naho añ-Afo.
17 whose winnowing shovel [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat to his storehouse, and the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.'
Am-pità’e ty tsikelo’e, le hahoro’e an-tihy famofohañe ao o vokatseo vaho hatonto’e an-driha o mahakamao, fa ho sodora’e añ’afo tsy hay vonoeñe ty kafo’e.
18 And, therefore, indeed with many other things, exhorting, he was proclaiming good news to the people,
Mbe maro ty fañosihañe nanoe’e te nitaroñe am’ondatio.
19 and Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, and concerning all the evils that Herod did,
Aa ie nitrevoke i Heroda mpanjaka ty amy Herodiasie valin-drahalahi’e naho ze fonga sata raty nanoe’ i Heroda,
20 added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison.
le mbore nahili’e am-balabey ao t’i Jaona, ho tovo’ iaby rezay.
21 And it came to pass, in all the people being baptised, Jesus also being baptised, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Ie fonga nalipotse ondatio, nilipotse ka t’Iesoà, niloloke naho nisokake i likerañey
22 and the Holy Spirit came down in a bodily appearance, as if a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, saying, 'Thou art My Son — the Beloved, in thee I did delight.'
vaho nizotso ama’e am-batañe manahake ty deho i Arofo Masiñey, le hoe ty fiarañanañañe hirik’andindìñe ao: Anako irehe, kokoako; Ihe ro mahafale ahiko.
23 And Jesus himself was beginning to be about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, son of Joseph,
