Lúcás 3
1 Agus an-cuigeadh bliadhan déug dimpireachid Thibérius Séasar, ar mbeith do Phonsius Phioláid na úachdarán a ttir Iúdáighe, agus Ioruáith na théatrarc sa Ngalilé, agus Philip a dhearbhrathair na théatrarc air Ituréa agus air chrích Thrachonítis, agus Lísánias na thetrarch air Abiléne,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 An tan do bhí Annas agus Caiphás na nárdshagartuibh, tháinic bríathar Dé chum Eóin mhic Sacharías san bhfásach.
during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to Yochanan, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness.
3 Uime sin tháinic sé ar feadh na dúithche a dtimcheall Iórdan, ag seanmóir bhaisdigh na haithrighe chuin maithmbeachuis na bpeacadh;
He came into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming the immersion of repentance for remission of sins.
4 Mar a tá sgríobhtha a leabhar comhráidhteagh Esaías fáidh, a deir, Guth an té éighmheas ar an bhfásadh, Ullmhuighidh slighe an Tighearna, déanuidh a chasáin díreach.
As it is written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.
5 Líonfuidhear gach uile ghleann, agus ísleochthar gach uile sliabh agus chnoc; agus béid na neithe cama díreach, agus na slighthe garba mín;
Every valley will be filled. Every mountain and hill will be brought low. The crooked will become straight, and the rough ways smooth.
6 Agus do chífi gach uile fheoil slanughadh Dé.
All flesh will see God’s salvation.’”
7 Uime sin a dubhairt sé rís a tslúagh tháinic a mach do chum go mbaisdfeadh seisean íad: A shliochd na naithreach neimhe, cía thug rabhadh dhaóibh teitheadh ón fheirg a tá ag teachd?
He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be immersed by him, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Ar a nadhbharsin tabhraidh tórrtha bhus iomchubhaidh don naithrighe úaibh, agus ná tionsgnaidh a rádh ionnaibh féin, A tá Abraham na athair aguinn: oír a deirimsi ribh, Gur ab éidir lé Dia clann do dhúsachd as na clochmibhse féin D'abraham.
Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance, and don’t begin to say among yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father;’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!
9 Agus a tá an tuáigh a nois fós ar na cur chum fréimhe na gcrann: ar a nadhbharsin gach uile chrann nach dtabhair toradh maith gearrthar é, agus teilgthear sa teinidh é.
Even now the ax also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10 Agus do fhíafruigh an slúagh nile dhe, ag rádh, Ar a nadhbharsin créud do dheunam?
The multitudes asked him, “What then must we do?”
11 Agus ar bhfreagra dhósan a dubhairt sé ríu, An té agá bhfuil dá chóta, roinneadh ris an té ag nach bhfuil; agus gidh bé agá bhfuil bíadh, déanadh sé mar an gcéudna.
He answered them, “He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise.”
12 Agus tangadar na puibliocáin mar an gcéudna ionnus go mbaisdfidhe íad, agus a dubhradar ris, A mhaighisdir, créud do dhéunáimné?
Tax collectors also came to be immersed, and they said to him, “Rabbi, what must we do?”
13 Agus a dubhairt seision ríu, Na déunuidh ní sa mhó ná do horduigheadh dhaóibh.
He said to them, “Collect no more than that which is appointed to you.”
14 Agus do chuireadar na saighdiúirígh fós ceisd air, ag rádh, Agus créad do dhéunuimne? agus a dubhairt seisean ríu, Ná déunaidh foiréigean ar dhuine ar bith, agus ná hagraidh duine ar bith go heugcórach agus go madh lór libh bhur dtúarasdal féin.
Soldiers also asked him, saying, “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages.”
15 Agus ar mbeith ag feitheamh don phobal, agus ag smúainiughadh dhóibh uile an a gcroidhthibh a dtimcheall Eóin, nar bheisean Chríosd,
As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning Yochanan, whether perhaps he was the Messiah,
16 Do fheagair Eóin, ag rádh ríu uile, Baisdeamsa sibh go deimhin lé huisge; achd a tá neach is nearthmhuire ná misi ag teachd, ag nach fiú mé íallach a bhróg do sgáoileadh: baisdfidh seision sibh leis an Spiorad Náomh agus lé teinidh:
Yochanan answered them all, “I indeed immerse you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and fire.
17 Aga bhfuil a chríathar an a láimh, agus glanfidh sé a urlár féin, agus cruinnéochuidh sé an chruithneachd dá sgiobol féin; achd loisgfidh sé an cháith lé teine nách eidir a mhúchadh.
His winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
18 Agus ag teagasg mhóráin eile fós dó do mhinigh sé an siosgéul don phobal.
Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,
19 Agus ar gcur an aghaidh Iórúaith an Téatrarca dhó, fá Heródias bean Philip a dhearbhrathar, agus fá gach uile olc dá ndearna Iorúaith,
but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
20 Do chuir sé so leis do bhárr ar gach ní, gur dhúin sé ar Eóin a bpríosún.
added this also to them all, that he shut up Yochanan in prison.
21 Agus tárla, an tan do baisdeadh an pobal uile, agus do bhí Iósa agá bhalsdeadh, agus ag déanamh úrnaighthe, gur bosgladh neamh,
Now when all the people were immersed, Yeshua also had been immersed and was praying. The sky was opened,
22 Agus gur thuirrling an Spiorad Náomh a bhfioghair chorpardha mar cholum air, agus do dtáinic guth ó neamh, ag rádh, Is tú mo Mhac grádhachsa; is ionnadsa a tá mo dheaghthoil.
and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying “You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased.”
23 Agus do bhí Iosa féin a dtimchioll a dheichmblíadhan fichead dáois, ar mbeith (do réir bhreathnuighthe na ndáoine) na mbac ag Ióseph, mhic Héli,
