Luke 3
1 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,
Tiberius Kaisar a manghai kum hlainga vaengah Judea te Pontius Pilat loh a taem tih, Herod te Galilee ah khoboei la om. A manuca Philip tah Ituraea neh Trakhoniti kho kah khoboei la om. Lusania tah Abilene kah khoboei la om.
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
Annas neh Kaiaphas khosoihham la a om vaengah Pathen kah ol tah khosoek kah Zekhariah capa Johan taengla thoeng.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins;
Te phoeiah Jordan pingpang te boeih a pha tih tholh khodawkngainah ham yutnah baptisma kawng a hoe.
4 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.
Tonghma Isaiah kah ol te cabu dongah ana daek sut bangla, khosoek kah pang ol loh, “Boeipa kah longpuei te rhoekbah uh lamtah, a caehlong te a dueng la saii uh.
5 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;
Soklong te boeih a et vetih, tlang neh mol khaw boeih a tlarhoel sak ni. Aka kawn te a dueng la, long mueng khaw long tlaai la om ni.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Te vaengah pumsa boeih loh Pathen kah khangnah a hmuh ni.
7 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?
Te dongah anih kah a nuem hamla aka thoeng hlangping te, “Rhulthae rhoek kah cadil rhoek, kosi aka tawn uh te rhaelrham tak ham unim nangmih aka tueng?
8 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.
Te dongah yutnah neh a tiing la a thaih te saii uh. Na khuiah, 'Abraham te pa la ka khueh,’ ti koeloe boeh. Pathen tah hekah lungto lamloh Abraham ca rhoek a thoh thai te nangmih ham kan thui.
9 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.
Tedae hai tah thing yung ah oepsoeh la a khueh van coeng. Thaih tak la aka thai pawh thing tah boeih a vung tih hmai ah a pup,” a ti nah.
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
Te dongah amah te hlangping loh a dawt tih, “Te koinih balae ka saii uh eh?” a ti nah.
11 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.
Te dongah amih te a doo tih, “Angki yungnit aka khueh loh aka khueh pawt te doedan saeh. Te vanbangla caak aka khueh long khaw saii van saeh,” a ti nah.
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Master, what shall we do?
Te vaengah mangmucoi rhoek khaw nuem hamla ha pawk uh tih anih taengah, “Saya, balae ka saii uh eh? “a ti uh.
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
Te dongah amih te, “Nangmih ng'uen phoeiah a yet la khoboe boeh,” a ti nah.
14 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.
Anih te rhalkap rhoek long khaw a dawt uh tih, “Kaimih tah balae ka saii uh van eh?” a ti uh. Amih te khaw, “Hlang te hihham uh boeh, huttet uh boeh. Namamih kah buhcun neh rhaemhal uh,” a ti nah.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, whether he was the Christ, or not;
Pilnam kah a lamso vanbangla amamih kah thinko ah Johan te boeih a thui uh tih, “Anih he Khrih coini,” a ti uh.
16 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:
Johan loh a doo tih, “Nangmih he kai loh tui dongah kan nuem dae kai lakah aka tlung te ha pawk coeng. Anih kah khokhom rhui hlam ham pataeng aka koih la ka om moenih. Anih loh nangmih te Mueihla Cim dongah hmai neh n'nuem ni.
17 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.
A kut dongkah cangcopcung loh a cangtilhmuen a coeh vetih cang te a khai khuila a sang ni. Tedae canghi tah aka duek pawh hmai neh boeih a hoeh ni,” a ti nah.
18 And many other things in his exhortation he preached to the people.
Te dongah pilnam te a tloe neh muep a thaphoh tih olthangthen a phong pah.
19 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,
Tedae Herod a khoboei vaengah a mana yuu Herodias kawng dongah Herod loh boethae a saii boeih te Johan loh a toeltham.
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
Te te boeih a tungsaep thil dongah Johan te thongim ah a uup.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Pilnam te boeih a nuem vaengah Jesuh khaw a nuem tih a thangthui hatah vaan te ong uh.
22 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.
Te phoeiah Mueihla Cim te a pumrho neh vahu kah mueimae bangla a suntlak thil. Te vaengah, “Nang tah ka capa thintlo la na om tih, nang taengah ka lungtlun,” tila vaan lamkah ol ha thoeng.
