< 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 —
Hanchu, Teberius Caesar Rêng chang a kum sômleirangana, Pontius Pilat Judea rama governor ania, Herod Galilee rama ânlal lâiin, A nâipa Philip, Iturea le Trachonitis rama ânlal lâiin, Abilene rama Lysanias ânlal lâia han,
2 Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests — there came a word of God unto John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness,
Annas le Caiaphas ngei hah Ochai Inlal annia. Ma zora lâia han ramchâra Zakaria nâipasal John kôma Pathien chong a juong tunga.
3 and he came to all the region round the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of reformation — to remission of sins,
Hanchu, John'n Jordan Tuidung pang revêl ramtina a se titira, “Nin sietnangei renga insîr ungla baptisma chang roi, hanchu Pathien'n nin sietnangei nangni ngâidam a tih” tiin chong a rila.
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;
Dêipu Isaiah lekhabua miziek anghan: “Ramchâra mi inkhat iniek rôl han, Pumapa lampui sin ungla, a lôna rang, A lampuingei mintûn roi.
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;
Vakuong tin minsip nîng ata, Muol, tang tin mincham nîng atih, Lampui akôi ngei mintûn nîng ata, Lampui anthir ngei minnâm nîng atih.
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'
Hanchu mitinin Pathien sanmingringna mûng an tih.”
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?
Hanchu, John kôm baptis chang rangin mipuingei an honga, an kôm, “Murûlngei o!” “Pathien dûk juong mintung rang renga jôk rangin tumo nangni ril?
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;
Nin sietnangei nin insîr tatak iti nin nunchana minlang roi, Ei richibul Abraham kêng aninga ti khâi no roi, Pathien'n hi lungngei khom hih Abraham richisuonpârngei a minchang thei.
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.'
Thingkung tin aruzung idêna phûr rangin reipui a om chit ani zoi. Thingkung tin mara sa ânra loi nâm chu phûrpaia meia pai nîng atih,” a tia.
10 And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, 'What, then, shall we do?'
Mipuingei han, “Hanchu, Imo kin tho rang ani zoi,” an tia.
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.'
Ama'n a thuona, “Kâncholi abop a dônngeiin a dônloingei sem ungla, sâkruo a dônngeiin a dônloingei sem ngei roi” a tia.
12 And there came also tax-gatherers to be baptised, and they said unto him, 'Teacher, what shall we do?'
Sum rusuongpungei senkhat baptisma chang rangin an honga, a kôma, “Minchupu, imo kin tho rang?” an tia.
13 and he said unto them, 'Exact no more than that directed you.'
“Balam pêna chu rusuong no roi” a tia.
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.'
Râlmingei khom an honga a kôm, “Keinite imo kin tho rang?” an tia. An kôma, “Tute sum rangrâtin lâk no ungla, dikloiin mi nôn no ungla, nin loa han nin mulung minchuk roi,” a tia.
15 And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ;
Mipuingeiin John chungroia sabeina neiin, Messiah ai ni duoi mini tiin an mindona.
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;
Hanchu, John'n, “Keiman chu tuiin nangni ka baptis ngâia, keima nêka roiinpui uol mi a juong ani. Keima chu a kekok sût rang luon inhoi mu-ung. Ama han Ratha Inthieng le meiin nangni baptis a tih,” a tipe ngeia.
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.'
“A jâpna rang relei a chôia, jâp a ta, butak hah sapanga thun a ta, arishi kai chu mei thi ngâiloia hâl minmang a tih,” a tia.
18 And, therefore, indeed with many other things, exhorting, he was proclaiming good news to the people,
An om lam thûlna rang mohôknân lam tamtakin thurchi Sa a ril ngeia.
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,
Herod'n neinun tamtak saloi a tho pênah, a nâipa Philip lômnu Herodias lômnua a nei sikin John'n a ngoa.
20 added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison.
Ma nêka saloi uol thôn, Herod'n, John hah intâng ina a khum zoi.
21 And it came to pass, in all the people being baptised, Jesus also being baptised, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Hanchu mipui murdi baptisma an chang zoiin, Jisua khom baptisma a changa. Chubai a tho lâitakin, invân ân onga.
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.'
Pharvali angin, Ratha Inthieng a chunga a juongchuma, Invân renga chong ajuon ringa, “Ka nâipasal moroitak ni ni, na chunga ku mulung arâisân ok,” a tia.
23 And Jesus himself was beginning to be about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, son of Joseph,
