Luka 3
1 Loma yaaba badiciamo Tibeli Sesa bali piiga n binmuuli binli, Ponisa Pilata den tie Jude diema gufeneeli, Elodo den die Galile diema, O waalo Filipi n ya die Itule leni Takonita diema, Lisaniasa mo n ya die Abilena diema.
In year then fifteenth of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when is being governor Pontius Pilate of Judea and when is being tetrarch of Galilee Herod, Philip now the brother when he is being tetrarch of Ituraea and of Trachonitis [the] region and Lysanias of Abilene being tetrarch
2 Hana leni Kayifa den taani ki tie bi kopadicianba badiba. Laa binli Sakali bijua Jan den ye mi fanpienma nni, ke U Tienu den maadi leni o.
during ([the] high priesthood *N(k)O*) of Annas and Caiaphas, came [the] declaration of God upon John the (*k*) of Zechariah son in the wilderness.
3 Lane o den caa ya dogi n baali Judana ki wangi bi niba ke ban biidi bi pala bi tuonbiadi po ki lebidi bi yama wan batisi ba ban baa bi tuonbiadi sugili.
And he went into all the surrounding region of the Jordan proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins
4 Nani lan diani maama o sawalipualo Esayi tili nni: O nilo Kpaani mi fanpienma nni ki tua: Yin bogini mani o Diedo sanu, ki naadi mani o sani.
as it has been written in [the] book of [the] words of Isaiah the prophet (saying: *k*) [The] voice of one crying in the wilderness do prepare the way of [the] Lord, straight do make the paths of Him.
5 Bi baa gbieni ti joaloandi kuli, ki jiini joacianli leni joabiga kuli ki dagini, ki naadi a sangoana, ki piini ti sanbuodi.
Every valley will be filled and every mountain and hill will be made low; and will become the crooked into (straight *NK(o)*) and the rough into ways smooth;
6 Nisaalo kuli baa la U Tienu faabima.
and will behold all flesh the salvation of God.
7 A nigola den kpendi Jan kani ke wan batisiba. O den maadi ba ki tua: “Yinba u waalabibuolu na, ŋme fandi yi yin sani ki ciadi U Tienu pabienli yaali n baa cua na?
He was saying therefore to the coming out crowds to be baptized by him; Offspring of vipers, who forewarned you to flee from the soon coming wrath?
8 Yin ya tuuni mani ya tuona n doagidi ke yi lebidi yi yama. Yin da tua yi pala nni: 'Ti pia Abalahama ke o tie ti yaaja.' N waani yi ke U Tienu baa fidi ki teni ya tama n tie na n tua Abalahama puoliŋuani.
do produce therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and not may begin to say in yourselves; [As] father We have Abraham. I say for to you that is able God from stones these to raise up children to Abraham.
9 Baa moala bi caani li yali i tijiini po. Ya tibu n ki luoni ya bonluonkaala n ŋani kuli, bi baa pedibu ki lu mi fantama nni.”
Already now also the ax to the root of the trees is applied; every therefore tree not producing fruit good is cut down and into [the] fire is thrown.
10 A nigola den buali o ki tua: “Ti nan baa tieni lede?”
And were asking him the crowds saying; What then (shall we do? *N(k)O*)
11 O den goa yedi ba: “Yua n pia liada lie, wan boagidi leni yua n ki pia, yua n pia mi jiema moko n tieni yeni.”
Answering now (he was saying *N(k)O*) to them; The [one] having two tunics he should impart to the [one] none having and the [one] having food likewise he should do.
12 Bi lubigaaba moko den cua ke wan batisi ba, ki yedi o: “Canbaa, ti baa tieni lede?”
Came then also tax collectors to be baptized and they said to him; Teacher, what (shall we do? *N(k)O*)
13 O den goa yedi ba: “Yin da ga li lubili ki cie ban bili maama.”
And he said to them; Nothing more beyond that appointed to you do collect.
14 A minteela moko den buali o: “Ti mo baa tieni lede?” O den yedi ba: “Da tieni mani bi niba u paalu, ki da gaani suuli ki kuli oba. Yin mangi mani yi pala leni yi ŋmapani.”
Were asking then him also those being soldiers saying; What (may do *N(k)O*) also we ourselves And he said (to *k*) (to them; *N(k)O*) No one may extort nor may accuse falsely and do be content with the wages of you.
15 Bi niba den gu ki sugini U Tienu n gandi yua cuama. Bi kuli den buali bi yula Jan ya tie U Tienu n gandi yua.
When were expecting then the people and wondering all in the hearts of them concerning John, whether whether he himself would be the Christ,
16 O den yedi bi kuli: “Mini n batisi yi leni mi ñima, ama yua n pia u paalu ki cie nni baa cua, mii pundi baa yua n baa loti o cacaabaabu. Wani, o baa batisi yi leni U Tienu Fuoma Yua, leni mi fantama.
Answered saying ([to] all *N(k)O*) John: I myself indeed with water baptize you; comes however the [One] mightier than I, of whom not I am worthy to untie the strap of the sandals of Him. He himself you will baptize with [the] Spirit Holy and with fire,
17 O kubi o kaaligu o nuu nni, o baa ŋanbi o jalu cain, ki lendi ki tigi ki wodi ki kuodi o buali nni ki nan sia mi fenma nni ya fantama n kaa pia gbindima.”
of whom the winnowing fork [is] in the hand of Him (and *k*) (to scour *N(k)O*) the threshing floor of Him and (to gather *N(k)O*) the wheat into the barn of Him. But the chaff He will burn up with fire unquenchable.
18 Jan wangi bi niba o laabaaliŋamo ki go tundi ba tunditoe boncianla.
Many indeed therefore other things exhorting he was evangelising the people.
19 Ama wan den funi leni Elodo yua n die Galile kelima o waalo pua Elodiasa po leni wan tieni ya tuonbiadi kuli po,
And Herod the tetrarch being reproved by him concerning Herodias the wife (of Philip *K*) of the brother of him and concerning all that did [the] evils Herod,
20 Elodo go den pugini laa tuonbiadi kuli po tuonbiatoadi, ki luoni Jan li kadidieli nni.
added yet this to all: Also he locked up John in (*k*) prison.
21 Bi niba kuli den kpendi ke Jan batisi ba, o den batisi Jesu moko. Jesu n den jaandi ya yogunu, tanpoli den luodi
It came to pass now in baptizing all the people and when Jesus having been baptized and having prayed [was] opening the heaven
22 ke U Tienu Fuoma Yua ñani lipo ke o nannanli naani leni ki kpaajiega ki jiidi ki jagini Jesu po. Bi den gbadi u nialu ke u maadi ŋali tanpoli po ki yedi: “A tie n Bijabuadiga n pali mani apo ŋali boncianla.”
and descending the Spirit Holy in a bodily form (as *N(k)O*) a dove upon Him and a voice out of heaven coming (saying: *k*) You yourself are the Son of Mine the beloved, in You I am well pleased.
