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,
Xibeeriyoos Qeesaar moʼee waggaa kudha shanaffaatti jechuunis yommuu Phonxoos Phiilaaxoos bulchaa Yihuudaa turetti, Heroodis bulchaa Galiilaa ture; obboleessi isaa Fiiliphoos bulchaa Ixuriyaasii fi Xiraakonitiis, Lisaaniiyaas immoo bulchaa Abileeniis turan;
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
yeroo sana Haannaasii fi Qayyaaffaan luboota ol aantota turan. Dubbiin Waaqaa gammoojjii keessatti gara Yohannis ilma Zakkaariyaas dhufe.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins;
Innis dhiifama cubbuutiif cuuphaa qalbii jijjiirrannaa lallabaa biyya naannoo Yordaanos hunda keessa deeme.
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.
Kunis isa kitaaba dubbii Isaayyaas raajichaa keessatti akkana jedhamee barreeffamee dha: “Sagalee nama gammoojjii keessaa iyyu tokkoo: ‘Karaa Gooftaa qopheessaa; daandii isaas qajeelchaa.
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;
Sululli hundi ni guutama; tulluu fi gaarri hundinuus gad deebifamu. Karaan jalʼaan ni qajeela; daandiin buʼaa baʼiinis wal qixxeeffama.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Sanyiin namaa hundinuus fayyisuu Waaqaa ni arga.’”
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?
Yohannisis warra harka isaatti cuuphamuuf dhufaniin akkana jedhe; “Isin ijoollee buutii nana! Dheekkamsa dhufu jalaa akka baqattaniif eenyutu isinitti hime?
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.
Egaa ija qalbii jijjiirrannaa mirkaneessu naqadhaa. Isin, ‘Abbaan keenya Abrahaamii dha’ ofiin jechuu hin jalqabinaa. Waaqni dhagoota kanneen irraa Abrahaamiif ijoollee kaasuu akka dandaʼu ani isinittan himaatii.
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.
Qottoon amma iyyuu hidda mukkeenii irra kaaʼameera; mukti ija gaarii hin naqanne hundinuus muramee ibiddatti darbatama.”
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
Namoonni sunis, “Yoos maal haa goonuu ree?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
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.
Yohannisis deebisee, “Namni uffata lama qabu isa homaa hin qabneef haa qoodu; kan nyaata qabus akkasuma haa godhu” jedheen.
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Master, what shall we do?
Qaraxxoonni cuuphamuu dhufanii, “Yaa barsiisaa, nu hoo maal haa goonu?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
Innis, “Waan ajajamtan caalaa walitti hin qabinaa” jedheen.
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.
Loltoonnis akkasuma, “Nu immoo maal haa goonu ree?” jedhanii isa gaafatan. Innis, “Humnaan nama irraa maallaqa hin fudhatinaa; sobaan nama hin himatinaa; mindaan keessan isin haa gaʼu” jedheen.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, whether he was the Christ, or not;
Namoonni sun hawwiidhaan eegaa turan; hundi isaaniis, “Yohannis kun inni Kiristoos taʼinnaa laata?” jedhanii garaa isaaniitti yaadaa turan.
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:
Yohannis akkana jedhee isaan hundaaf deebii kenne; “Ani bishaaniin isin cuupha. Garuu kan na caalaa jabaa taʼe tokko ni dhufa; ani hidhaa kophee isaa illee hiikuun naaf hin malu. Inni Hafuura Qulqulluu fi ibiddaan isin cuupha.
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.
Innis oobdii isaa qulqulleessee gombisaa isaatti qamadii galfachuudhaaf afarsaan isaa harka isaa jira; habaqii garuu ibidda hin dhaamneen guba.”
18 And many other things in his exhortation he preached to the people.
Yohannisis dubbii biraa baayʼeedhaan namoota gorsee wangeelas isaanitti lallabe.
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,
Heroodis bulchaan garuu yommuu sababii inni niitii obboleessa isaa Heroodiyaas fuudhee fi sababii hammina inni hojjetee ture kaan hundaatiif Yohannis isa ifate,
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
hammina isaa hunda irratti dabalee Yohannisin mana hidhaatti galchee itti cufe.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Yeroo namoonni hundinuu cuuphamaa turanitti, Yesuusis ni cuuphame. Utuu inni kadhachaa jiruu samiin banamee,
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.
Hafuurri Qulqulluun bifa gugeetiin mulʼatee isa irratti gad buʼe. Sagaleen, “Ati Ilma koo isa ani jaalladhuu dha; ani sitti nan gammada” jedhu tokkos samii irraa ni dhufe.
23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, who was [the son] of Heli,
