Luka 3
1 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.
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Annas neh Kaiaphas khosoihham la a om vaengah Pathen kah ol tah khosoek kah Zekhariah capa Johan taengla thoeng.
Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
3 Te phoeiah Jordan pingpang te boeih a pha tih tholh khodawkngainah ham yutnah baptisma kawng a hoe.
And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the immersion of repentance in order to the remission of sins;
4 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.
as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight;
5 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.
every ravine shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made level; and the crooked ways shall be made straight; and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
6 Te vaengah pumsa boeih loh Pathen kah khangnah a hmuh ni.
and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 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?
Therefore he said to the multitudes that came out to be immersed by him: Generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
8 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.
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 from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.
9 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.
And now also the ax is lying at the root of the trees; therefore, every tree that does not produce good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire.
10 Te dongah amah te hlangping loh a dawt tih, “Te koinih balae ka saii uh eh?” a ti nah.
And the multitudes asked him, saying: What, then, shall we do?
11 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.
He answered and said to them: He that has two coats, let him give to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise.
12 Te vaengah mangmucoi rhoek khaw nuem hamla ha pawk uh tih anih taengah, “Saya, balae ka saii uh eh? “a ti uh.
And the publicans also came to be immersed, and they said to him: Teacher, what shall we do?
13 Te dongah amih te, “Nangmih ng'uen phoeiah a yet la khoboe boeh,” a ti nah.
And he said to them: Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 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.
And soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Take nothing from any one by extortion, nor by false accusation, and be content with your pay.
15 Pilnam kah a lamso vanbangla amamih kah thinko ah Johan te boeih a thui uh tih, “Anih he Khrih coini,” a ti uh.
While the people were in suspense, and all were reasoning in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not,
16 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.
John answered them all, saying: I indeed immerse you in water; but there comes One mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.
17 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.
His winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his thrashing-floor, and gather the grain into his granary, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
18 Te dongah pilnam te a tloe neh muep a thaphoh tih olthangthen a phong pah.
With many other exhortations he proclaimed the good news to the people.
19 Tedae Herod a khoboei vaengah a mana yuu Herodias kawng dongah Herod loh boethae a saii boeih te Johan loh a toeltham.
But Herod the tetrarch having been reproved by him on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and for all the wicked deeds which Herod did,
20 Te te boeih a tungsaep thil dongah Johan te thongim ah a uup.
added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Pilnam te boeih a nuem vaengah Jesuh khaw a nuem tih a thangthui hatah vaan te ong uh.
And it came to pass, while all the people were being immersed, that Jesus also was immersed; and as he was praying, the heaven was opened,
22 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.
and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, in a bodily form, like a dove; and there came a voice from heaven, which said: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I delight.
