Lukas 3
1 PAR eisoklimau murin nanmarki Tiperius a sapwileda ni muein Pontius Pilatus kopina en Iudäa, o Erodes nanmarki en Kaliläa, o ri a ol Pilipus nanmarki en Ituräa o Trakonitis, o Lisanias nanmarki en Apilene,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanius the tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Ni muein Anas o Kaipas samero lapalap, masan en Kot ap pwara dong Ioanes nain Sakarias nan sap tan.
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 I ari kotikot sili nan sap karos ni kail en Iordan, padapadak duen paptais en kalula ong lapwada dip akan,
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins;
4 Duen a intingidier nan puk en masan akan en saukop Iesaia, me masani: Ngil eu likelikwir sili nan sap tan: Komail kaonopada al en Kaun o, kaineneda al a!
As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
5 Wau karos pan audaud o nana o dol karos pan patapatedi, o me pirok, pan inenla, o me ululen, pan patapatela.
Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways [shall be] made smooth;
6 Uduk karos pan udial kamaur en Kot.
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 A ap masani ong aramas akan, me koieila, pwen paptaisla re a: Dakot, wan oter komail; is me padaki ong komail, en piti sang ni kamekam, me kokodo?
Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized by him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Ari komail kapareda wan kalula mau. A komail depa lamelame, me komail pan indang pein komail: Nan Apraam sam atail. Pwe i indai ong komail, me Kot kotin kak ong wiaki ong Apraam na seri kai takai pukat.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for [our] father: for I say to you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
9 Sile o mier ni tapin tuka kan. Ari, tuka karos, me so wa mau, pan palepaledi o lokidokila nan iai.
And now also the ax is laid to the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 Pokon o ap idok re a indada: A da me kit en wia?
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 A kotin sapeng masani ong irail: Meamen, me a sakit riau, i en ki ong, me sota a. O me kan a kisin manga mia, i en wia dueta.
He answereth and saith to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath provisions, let him do likewise.
12 A saunopwei kan pil pwara dong i pwen paptais, irail potoan ong i: Saunpadak, a da me kit en wia?
Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Master, what shall we do?
13 A masani ong irail: Komail der ale laude sang me kileledier.
And he said to them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 Saunpei kan ap pil kalelapok re a indada: A da me kit en wia? A masani ong irail: Komail der kaloke mal meamen, o der wia sapung ong meamen, a komail ale pwain omail o insenemau kila.
And the soldiers likewise asked him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse [any] falsely, and be content with your wages.
15 Aramas akan lao kiki ong o mongemongeloleki, me Ioanes me Kristus,
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, whether he was the Christ, or not;
16 Ioanes ap sapeng masani ong irail karos: I paptais kin komail pil, a me laude sang ia kotido muri, me i sowar ong, en lapwada sal en sapwilim a sut, i me pan paptais kin komail Ngen saraui o kisiniai.
John answered, saying to [them] all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:
17 Tanir mi nan lim a, a pan kotin koko melel sapwilim a pera, ap nekid pena wan korn nan sapwilim a im en nak, a dip a pan kotin karong kila kisiniai sokun.
Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 O song toto, me a kotin panaui aramas akan o padaki ong pokon o rongamau.
And many other things in his exhortation he preached to the people.
19 A nanmarki Erodes, me Ioanes kapung pweki Erodias en ri a ol a paud, o pweki sued karos, me Erodes wiadar,
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
20 Kalaudela dip a ni a saliedi Ioanes nan imateng.
Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 A kadekadeo aramas karos lao paptaiselar, o Iesus pil paptaiselar o kotin laolaoki, nanlang ap ritida,
Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 O Ngen saraui kotidi dong i ni mom en muroi men, o ngil eu sang nanlang masani: Koe nai Ol kompok, me I kin peren kida.
And the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
