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 Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
2 nin kubi na Annas wadi kumalami kudya nin Kayafas, uliru Kutelle da kitin Yohanna, usaun Zakariya, nanya kusho.
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto 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.
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission 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 Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, 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 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 Vat anit ma yenu utucu Kutelle.'”
And all flesh shall 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 said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
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.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to [our] father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 Nene imalu tii kidowo tilin kuce bara nani vat kuca ko na kunutuno kumat kucine ba wase ikowo kunin i ta ulaku.”
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 Amon nanya ligozie teringhe imoro, “Iyanghari ti ma nin ti.”
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
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.”
He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
12 Among anan sessun gandu da ida shintin nani nmyen, i woroghe, “'Unan yiru, inghanghri ti ma ti?”
Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 A woro nani, “Na ima seru ikurfung ikata ile imong na ina beling minu.
And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed 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.”
And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse [any] falsely; and be content with your wages.
15 Nene na anite wa din ncaa ndak Yesu, kogha wadin kpilzule sa Yohanna re Kristi.
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
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 answered, saying unto [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 shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with 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 fan [is] in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 Nin mong ugbaru udia tutung, abele anite ulilrun nlai.
And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto 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 for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
20 Bara nan Hiridus kuru a ti nlong lidu tinanzang a mati i tursu Yohanna ilu nanya kilari lican.
Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in 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, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, 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 Ghost 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.
