Luka 3
1 Nanya likus likure nin natowun kube na ugo Tiberius Kaisar, ame Bilatus Ba-bunti wa di ugomna Nyahudiya, Hiridus wadi unan bunu gwamnna in Galili, gwana me Filibus wadi unan bunu kipin ituriya nin Tarakunitis, Lisaniyas wadi unan bunu gwamna Abiliya,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, while his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Iturea and Trachonitis and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 nin kubi na Annas wadi kumalami kudya nin Kayafas, uliru Kutelle da kitin Yohanna, usaun Zakariya, nanya kusho.
during the high priesthood of Annas (also Caiaphas), the word of God came upon John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 A wa cinu akeu nigberi naa na ni wadi ngau kurawa urdun, a wadin wazin shintinu nmyen nin foo na acara udu uwesu kulapi.
So he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins;
4 Nafo na inna yertin nanya kufa ligbulang Ishaya unan liru nin nuu Kutelle, “Li wai nmong din yicu nanya kusho, 'Kelen libau Kutelle, kelen tikoot mene ti so dert.
as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: “A voice calling out: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord in the wilderness, make His paths straight.
5 Vat awu ima kulu anin, vat atala nin naparan ima toltinu ana nin vat, tibau ti ginlang ima nakpu tinin, tibau ti nanzan ima kelu tinin lau.
Every ravine will be filled up, and every mountain and hill will be leveled; the crooked parts of the roads will be straightened out, and the rough parts will be smoothed out;
6 Vat anit ma yenu utucu Kutelle.'”
and all flesh will see the salvation of God.’”
7 Yohanna woro ligozin na nite ale na iwa ccinu uda kiti me ada shintu nani nanya mmyen, “Anung kuewunu fiyii timung, nghani na kpada minu icun kiti finana nayi to na tidin cinu?
Then he said to the crowds that were coming out to be baptized by him: “You sons of poisonous snakes! Who tipped you off to flee from the coming wrath?
8 Nutunon nono nanga na nibatina ufubu, na iwa cizin ugbondilu nanya mine ba, “Tidin Ibrahim ucif bite,' bara na ina belen munu au Kutelle wa sa a nutuno Ibrahim ku nono tutung unuzu natala alele.
Well then, produce fruits befitting repentance, and don't even begin to say among yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as father,’ because I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!
9 Nene imalu tii kidowo tilin kuce bara nani vat kuca ko na kunutuno kumat kucine ba wase ikowo kunin i ta ulaku.”
But even now the axe is being laid to the root of the trees; so then, every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10 Amon nanya ligozie teringhe imoro, “Iyanghari ti ma nin ti.”
So the people started asking him, “What then must we do?”
11 A kawa a woro nnani, “Umong wa di nin nalutuk aba, ana ule na a salimung, ule na asi nin nimonli a su nani.”
In answer he said to them, “He who has two coats, let him share with him who has none; and he who has food should do likewise.”
12 Among anan sessun gandu da ida shintin nani nmyen, i woroghe, “'Unan yiru, inghanghri ti ma ti?”
Well even tax collectors came to be baptized by him and said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
13 A woro nani, “Na ima seru ikurfung ikata ile imong na ina beling minu.
So He said to them, “Don't charge more than what was determined to you.”
14 Among a soja da tiringhe, i woro, “Arike fa? Tiba tizighari?” Aworo nani, “Na iwa seru ikurfun kifin mmong nin likara ba. Na iwa vura umong ba teren kibinai nin imung na idin bizu minu.”
So the soldiers started asking him too: “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Don't extort or harass anyone, and be content with your wages.”
15 Nene na anite wa din ncaa ndak Yesu, kogha wadin kpilzule sa Yohanna re Kristi.
Now as the people were expectant and all were reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether he just might be the Messiah,
16 Yohanna kawa a woro nani vat, “Bara meng idin shintu munu nanya myen, umong din cinu ulenge na akafini nin likara, na meng bafin inbunku tii nakpatak mye ba, ama shintu munu nanya Ruhu Ulau nin laa.
John anticipated them all saying: “I indeed am baptizing you with water, but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal straps I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with Holy Spirit and fire;
17 Kupark mye di nanya nacara mye na ama kyeliu uaalkama a gutun insoronghe ayiru iyole atii filai ama juju insoronghe nin la ule na iwa se ibico ba.”
whose winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor and gather the wheat into His barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
18 Nin mong ugbaru udia tutung, abele anite ulilrun nlai.
(Indeed, with many other exhortations as well he kept on preaching to the people;
19 Yohanna kpada Hiridus ku kitin yerun nwaii mbene mye Hirudiya, nin vat nadu ananzang Hiridus na ana su.
but Herod the tetrarch—being reproved by him concerning Herodias, his brother's wife, as also about all the wicked things that Herod perpetrated—
20 Bara nan Hiridus kuru a ti nlong lidu tinanzang a mati i tursu Yohanna ilu nanya kilari lican.
added this also to them all: he actually locked John up in his prison.)
21 Nene kubi da, na Yohanna wa shintu anit vat nanya nmyen, a shintino Yesu ku wang na awa din nlira kitene kani puno.
Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus, having been baptized also, was praying, when the heaven was opened
22 Uruhu Kutelle tulu kitene mye nafo kuwulung, liwui nuzu kitene kani, “Fere gono nayi ning udin puzi ayi.”
and the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove and rested upon Him, and a Voice came out of heaven saying, “You are my beloved Son; in you I am always well pleased.”
