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.
Now, in the fifteenth year of the supremacy of Tiberius Caesar, —Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and, Philip his brother, tetrarch of Ituraea and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanius, tetrarch of Abylene, —
2 Annas neh Kaiaphas khosoihham la a om vaengah Pathen kah ol tah khosoek kah Zekhariah capa Johan taengla thoeng.
in the High-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, came a word of God unto John the son, of Zechariah, in rue desert;
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, proclaiming an immersion of repentance into 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 discourses of Isaiah the prophet: A voice of one crying aloud! In the desert, prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight, be making his paths;
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 chasm, shall be filled up, and, every mountain and hill, be made low; and the, crooked, places shall become, straight, and the, rugged, places, smooth ways; —
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?
He was saying, therefore, unto the multitudes who were going forth to be immersed by him—Broods of vipers! who suggested to 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 do not begin to be saying within yourselves, As our father, we have, Abraham; for, I say unto you—God is able, out of these stones, to raise up children unto 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, already, even the axe, unto the root of the trees is being laid; every tree, therefore, not bringing forth [good] fruit, is to be hewn down, and, into fire, to be cast.
10 Te dongah amah te hlangping loh a dawt tih, “Te koinih balae ka saii uh eh?” a ti nah.
And the multitude began to question 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.
And, answering, he said unto them—He that hath two tunics, let him share with him that hath none, and, he that hath food, in like manner, let him be doing.
12 Te vaengah mangmucoi rhoek khaw nuem hamla ha pawk uh tih anih taengah, “Saya, balae ka saii uh eh? “a ti uh.
And there came, even tax-collectors, to be immersed; and they said unto 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 unto them, Nothing more than what is appointed you, exact ye.
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.
Then were questioning him, soldiers also, saying—What shall, even we, do? And he said unto them—Molest ye, no one, neither accuse falsely; and be content with your supplies.
15 Pilnam kah a lamso vanbangla amamih kah thinko ah Johan te boeih a thui uh tih, “Anih he Khrih coini,” a ti uh.
Now, as the people were in expectation, and all were deliberating in their hearts, concerning John, —whether by any means, he, might be, the Christ,
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, saying unto all—I, indeed, in water, am immersing you, but he that is mightier than I, cometh, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose, —he, will immerse you in Holy Spirit and 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.
whose fan is in his hand, to clear out his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his granary; but, the chaff, will he burn up with fire unquenchable.
18 Te dongah pilnam te a tloe neh muep a thaphoh tih olthangthen a phong pah.
So then indeed, as to many things and various, he exhorted, and continued telling his glad-message unto 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, being reproved by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother, and concerning all the wicked things Herod had done,
20 Te te boeih a tungsaep thil dongah Johan te thongim ah a uup.
added this also unto all, —he locked up John in prison.
21 Pilnam te boeih a nuem vaengah Jesuh khaw a nuem tih a thangthui hatah vaan te ong uh.
Now it came to pass, when one and all the people were immersed, Jesus also, having been immersed, and being at prayer, 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, in bodily appearance, as a dove, upon him, —and, a voice out of heaven, came—Thou, art my Son, the Beloved, in thee, I delight.
23 Jesuh loh amah bibi a tong vaengah a kum sawmthum tluk lo coeng. Poek vaengah Heli capa Joseph kah a ca bangla om.
And, Jesus himself, was, when he began, about thirty years of age, being the son, as was supposed—of Joseph, of Heli:
