Lukas 3
1 Eta Tiberio Cesaren emperadoregoaren hamaborzgarren vrthean, Pontio Pilate Iudeaco gobernadore cenean, eta Herodes Galileaco tetrarcha, eta harén anaye Philippe halaber Iturea eta Trachonite comarcaco tetrarcha, eta Lisania Abilineco tetrarcha,
By now Tiberias had been Caesar for fifteen years. Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea. Herod was ruler of Galilee, his brother Philip was ruler of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanius was ruler of Abiline.
2 Eta Annas eta Caiphas Sacrificadore subirano ciradenean: eman cequión Iaincoaren hitza Ioannes Zachariasen semeari desertuan.
Annas and Caiphas were the current high priests. This was the time when the word of God came to John, Zechariah's son, who was living in the desert.
3 Eta ethor cedin Iordanaren inguruco comarca gucira, predicatzen çuela emendamendutaco Baptismoa bekatuén barkamendutan:
He went throughout the whole Jordan region, announcing to everyone that they needed to be baptized to show they had repented and their sins had been forgiven.
4 Nola baita scribatua Esaias prophetaren hitzén liburuän, dioela, Desertuan oihuz dagoenaren voza da, Appain eçaçue Iaunaren bidea, plana itzaçue haren bidescác.
As Isaiah the prophet wrote: “A voice was heard crying out in the desert, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord: make his paths straight.
5 Haran gucia betheren da, eta mendi eta mendisca gucia beheraturen da, eta makur diraden gauçác chuchenduren dirade, eta bide ikeçuac planaturen,
Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be leveled. Crooked ways will be straightened, and rough roads will be smoothed.
6 Eta ikussiren du haragui guciac Iaincoaren saluagarria.
Every human being will see God's salvation.’”
7 Erraiten cerauen bada harenganic batheya litecençat ethorten ciraden gendetzey, Vipera castá, norc auisatu çaituzte ethorteco den hirari ihes eguiten?
John addressed the crowds that came to him to be baptized. “You viper's brood! Who warned you to flee from the coming judgment?” he asked.
8 Eguin itzaçue bada fructu emendamenduaren digneac: eta etzaiteztela has erraiten ceuroc baithan, Abraham dugu aita: ecen badiotsuet, Iaincoac harri hautaric-ere Abrahami haour suscita, ahal dieçaqueola.
“Demonstrate that you have truly repented. Don't try to justify yourselves by saying, ‘We're Abraham's descendants.’ Let me tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these stones.
9 Bada ia aizcora-ere arborén errora eçarria da: beraz arbore fructu on eguiten eztuen gucia piccatzen da, eta sura egoizten.
The ax is set to begin chopping at the base of the trees. Any tree that doesn't produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.”
10 Orduan interroga ceçaten gendetzéc, cioitela, Cer eguinen dugu beraz?
“So what should we do?” the crowds asked him.
11 Eta ihardesten çuela erran ciecén, Bi arropa dituenac eman bieço eztuenari: eta iatecoric duenac, halaber eguin beça.
“If you have two coats, then share with someone who doesn't have one. If you have food, then share with those who don't,” he told them.
12 Ethor cedin publicanoetaric-ere batheya litecençat: eta erran cieçoten, Magistruá, cer eguinen dugu?
Some tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher, what should we do?” they also asked.
13 Eta harc erran ciecén, Deus ordenatu çaiçuen baino guehiago ezteçaçuela erekar.
“Don't collect any more tax than you're meant to,” he replied.
14 Interroga ceçaten gendarmesec-ere, cioitela, Eta guc cer eguinen dugu? Eta dioste, Nehor ezteçaçuela tormenta, ez iniuria: eta contenta çaitezte çuen gagéz.
“What about us?” some soldiers asked. “What should we do?” “Don't demand money with threats of violence. Don't make accusations that are untrue. Be satisfied with your wages,” he replied.
15 Eta populua beha cegoela, eta guciéc bere bihotzetan pensatzen çutela Ioannesez, eya hura liçatenez Christ,
The people were waiting expectantly, and wondered whether John himself might be the Messiah.
16 Ihardets ceçan Ioannesec, erraiten cerauela guciey, Eguia da nic batheyatzen çaituztet vrez: baina heldu da ni baino borthitzago dena, ceinen çapatetaco hedearen lachatzeco ezpainaiz digne: harc batheyaturen çaituzte Spiritu sainduaz eta suz.
John replied and explained to everybody, “Yes, I am baptizing you in water. But the one who is coming is more important than me, and I'm not worthy to undo his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
17 Ceinen bahea haren escuan içanen baita, eta garbituren du chahu bere larraina: eta bilduren du bihia bere granerera: baina lastoa choil erreren du bihinere hiltzen ezten suan.
His winnowing fork is in his hand and he's ready to separate the wheat from the chaff on his threshing floor. He'll gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with fire that can't be extinguished.”
18 Bada anhitz berce gauçaz-ere exhortatzen çuela euangelizatzen ceraucan populuari.
John gave many warnings like this as he announced the good news to the people.
19 Baina Herodes tetrarcha harçaz reprehenditzen cenean, Herodias bere anaye Philipperen emazteagatic, eta berac eguin cituen gaichtaqueria guciacgatic,
But when John reprimanded Herod the ruler for marrying Herodias, Herod's brother's wife, and for all the evil things he'd done,
20 Eratchequi ceçan haur-ere berce gucién gainera, eçar baitzeçan Ioannes presoindeguian.
Herod added to his crimes by having John thrown into jail.
21 Eta guertha cedin populu gucia batheyatzen cela, eta Iesus batheyaturic othoiztez cegoela, irequi baitzedin cerua:
Now it happened that after everyone had been baptized, Jesus was baptized as well. As he was praying, heaven was opened,
22 Eta iauts baitzedin Spiritu saindua forma visibletan vsso columba baten guissán, haren gainera, eta vozbat cerutic eguin baitzedin, cioela, Hi aiz ene Seme maitea, hitan hartzen diat neure atseguin ona.
and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, taking the form of a dove. A voice came from heaven, saying, “You are my son, the one I love. I am truly pleased with you.”
