Lioka 3
1 Ary tamin’ ny taona fahadimy ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Tiberia Kaisara, fony Pontio Pilato no governora tany Jodia, ary Heroda no mpanapaka tany Galilia, ary Filipo rahalahiny no mpanapaka ny tany Itoria sy Trakonitisy, ary Lysania no mpanapaka tany Abilena,
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 ary Anasy sy Kaiafa no mpisoronabe, ― dia tonga tamin’ i Jaona, zanak’ i Zakaria, tany an-efitra ny tenin’ Andriamanitra.
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 Ary nankany amin’ ny tany rehetra any amoron’ i Jordana izy nitory ny batisan’ ny fibebahana ho famelan-keloka;
And he went into all the surrounding region of the Jordan proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins
4 araka ny voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tenin’ Isaia mpaminany hoe: Injany! misy feon’ ny miantso mafy any an-efitra hoe: Amboary ny lalan’ i Jehovah, Ataovy mahitsy ny lalan-kalehany.
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 Ny lohasaha rehetra hototofana, Ary ny tendrombohitra sy ny havoana rehetra haetry, Ary ny meloka hahitsy, Ary ny lalana mikitoantoana hohamarinina;
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 Ary ny nofo rehetra hahita ny famonjen’ Andriamanitra.
and will behold all flesh the salvation of God.
7 Dia hoy izy tamin’ ny vahoaka izay nankeo aminy mba hataony batisa: Ry taranaky ny menarana, iza no nanoro hevitra anareo handositra ny fahatezerana ho avy?
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 Koa mamoaza voa miendrika ny fibebahana; ary aza manao anakampo hoe: Manana an’ i Abrahama ho rainay izahay; fa lazaiko aminareo fa Andriamanitra mahay manangana zanaka ho an’ i Abrahama avy amin’ ireto vato ireto.
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 Ary, indro, efa mipetraka ao amin’ ny fototry ny hazo sahady ny famaky; koa ny hazo rehetra izay tsy mamoa voa tsara dia hokapohina ka hatsipy any anaty afo.
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 Ary ny vahoaka nanontany an’ i Jaona hoe: inona ary no hataonay?
And were asking him the crowds saying; What then (shall we do? *N(k)O*)
11 Ary namaly izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Izay manana akanjo roa dia aoka hanome ho an’ ny tsy manana; ary izay manan-kanina, dia aoka hanao toy izany koa izy.
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 Dia avy koa ny mpamory hetra sasany mba hataony batisa ka nanao taminy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, inona no hataonay?
Came then also tax collectors to be baptized and they said to him; Teacher, what (shall we do? *N(k)O*)
13 Ary hoy izy taminy: Aza mampandoa mihoatra noho izay notendrena halainareo.
And he said to them; Nothing more beyond that appointed to you do collect.
14 Ary nisy miaramila koa nanontany azy ka nanao hoe: Ary inona kosa no mba hataonay? Dia hoy izy taminy: Aza mitohatoha foana amin’ olona, ary aza miampanga lainga, ary mianina amin’ ny karamanareo.
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 Fa raha mbola niandry ny olona, ka samy nisaina an’ i Jaona tam-pony, na izy no Kristy, na tsia,
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 dia namaly Jaona ka nanao tamin’ izy rehetra hoe: Izaho manao batisa anareo amin’ ny rano, fa avy Izay mahery noho izaho, ka tsy miendrika hamaha ny fehin-kapany aza aho; Izy no hanao batisa anareo amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna sy ny afo;
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 eny an-tànany ny fikororohany hanadiovany tsara ny no am-pamoloany ka hanangonany ny vary ho any amin’ ny sompiny; fa ny akofa sy ny mololo hodorany amin’ ny afo tsy azo vonoina.
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 Ary fananarana maro hafa koa no notoriny tamin’ ny olona.
Many indeed therefore other things exhorting he was evangelising the people.
19 Fa Heroda mpanapaka, nony nanarin’ i Jaona noho ny amin’ i Herodiasy, vadin-drahalahiny, sy noho ny ratsy rehetra izay nataony,
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 dia nanidy an’ i Jaona tao an-tranomaizina ho fanampin’ izany rehetra izany koa.
added yet this to all: Also he locked up John in (*k*) prison.
21 Ary rehefa natao batisa ny vahoaka rehetra, ary Jesosy koa efa natao batisa sy nivavaka, dia nisokatra ny lanitra;
It came to pass now in baptizing all the people and when Jesus having been baptized and having prayed [was] opening the heaven
22 ary ny Fanahy Masìna nidina teo amboniny, ka ny endriny dia tahaka ny voromailala; ary nisy feo avy tany an-danitra nanao hoe: Hianao no Zanako malalako; Hianao no sitrako.
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.
23 Ary tokony ho efa telo-polo taona Jesosy, raha vao nanomboka ny raharahany, ka natao ho zanak’ i Josefa, izay zanak’ i Hely,
