Luka 3
1 E higa mar apar gabich mar loch Kaisar Teberio, kane Pontio Pilato ne ruodh Judea, to Herode ne ruodh Galili, kendo Filipo owadgi ne ruodh Iturea gi Trakoniti, to Lusania ne ruodh Abilen,
Now in the fifteenth year of the rule of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being ruler of Judaea, and Herod being king of Galilee, his brother Philip king of the country of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias king of Abilene,
2 e kinde ma jodolo madongo ne gin Anas gi Kaifas, wach Nyasaye ne obiro ne Johana wuod Zekaria e thim.
When Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the waste land.
3 Nodhi e piny duto molworo Jordan, koyalo batiso mar weyo richo mondo mi owenegi richo.
And he came into all the country round about Jordan, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.
4 Kaka nondiki e kitabu mar weche mag Isaya janabi niya: “Ngʼat moro kok e thim ni, ‘Losuru yo ne Jehova Nyasaye, losneuru yore moriere tir.
As it says in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight.
5 Hoho ka hoho nobugi mapongʼ, gode madongo gi matindo duto nopie. Yore mobam biro bedo moriere, yore motimo gogni nobed mayom.
Every valley will be lifted up, and all the mountains and hills made low, and the twisted will be made straight, and the rough ways smooth;
6 Kendo ji duto biro neno warruok mar Nyasaye.’”
And all flesh will see the salvation of God.
7 Johana nowacho ne oganda mane biro mondo obatisgi niya, “Un koth thuondegi! En ngʼa mane onyisou mondo uring utony ne mirima mager mabiro?
So he said to the people who went out to him for baptism: You offspring of snakes, at whose word are you going in flight from the wrath to come?
8 Nyaguru olemo manyiso ni uselokoru uweyo richo. Kendo kik upar e kindu uwegi ni, ‘Wan gi Ibrahim kaka wuonwa.’ Nimar awachonu ni kata mana kitegi Nyasaye nyalo loko nyithind Ibrahim.
Make clear by your acts that your hearts have been changed; and do not say to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children of Abraham.
9 Le oseketi e tiend yiende, kendo yien ka yien ma ok nyag olemo mabeyo ibiro tongʼ mi go piny kendo witi e mach.”
And even now the axe is put to the root of the trees; and every tree which does not have good fruit will be cut down and put into the fire.
10 Oganda nopenje niya, “Kara en angʼo monego watim?”
And the people put questions to him, saying, What have we to do?
11 Johana nodwoko niya, “Ngʼat man-gi sede ariyo owinjore chiw achiel okonygo nyawadgi ma ongego, kendo jalno man kod chiemo bende onego tim kamano.”
And he made answer and said to them, He who has two coats, let him give to him who has not even one; and he who has food, let him do the same.
12 Josol osuru bende nobiro ire mondo obatisgi. Negipenje niya, “Japuonj. En angʼo mowinjore watim?”
Then tax-farmers came to him for baptism and said to him, Master, what have we to do?
13 Nonyisogi niya, “Kik usol osuru moloyo kaka idwaro ni mondo usol.”
And he said to them, Do not make an attempt to get more money than the right amount.
14 Eka askeche moko nopenje niya, “To en angʼo mowinjore watim.” Nodwokogi niya, “Kik uma ngʼato pesa githuon kata donjo ne ji gi miriambo to misara maru muyudo mondo oromu.”
And men of the army put questions to him, saying, And what have we to do? And he said to them, Do no violent acts to any man, and do not take anything without right, and let your payment be enough for you.
15 Ji ne pod rito gi geno ahinya kendo giduto ne giwuoro ka giparo e chunjegi ni nyalo bedo ni Johana e Kristo.
And while the people were waiting, and all men were questioning in their hearts about John, if he was the Christ or not,
16 Johana nodwokogi duto niya, “An abatisou gi pi. To ngʼato moro biro bangʼa ma oloya gi duongʼ, ma ok awinjora gonyo tond wuochene. En obiro batisou gi Roho Maler kod mach.
John made answer, saying to them all, Truly, I give you baptism with water, but one is coming who is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:
17 Odheru mare mar piedho cham ni e lwete mondo opiedhgo cham duto maler e kar dino cham, kendo ochok cham koketo e deche, to obiro wangʼo mihudhi gi mach ma ok nyal negi.”
In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned in the fire which will never be put out.
18 To gi weche moko mangʼeny Johana nojiwo ji kendo noyalo Injili ne ji.
And so comforting them with these and other words, he gave the good news to the people;
19 To ka Johana nokwero Ruoth Herode nikech wach Herodia, ma chi owadgi, kendo kuom gik mamoko maricho mane osetimo,
But Herod the king, because John had made a protest on account of Herodias, his brother's wife, and other evil things which Herod had done,
20 Herode nomedo timo gima rachie moloyo kendo nomako Johana motero e od twech.
Did this most evil thing of all, and had John shut up in prison.
21 Kane ibatiso ji duto, Yesu bende ne obatisi. To kane olemo, polo noyawore
Now it came about that when all the people had been given baptism, Jesus, having had baptism with them, was in prayer, when, the heaven being open,
22 kendo Roho Maler mane obiro e kido mar akuru nolor mopiyo kuome, to dwol noa e polo mawacho niya, “In e Wuoda, ma ahero; chunya mor kodi.”
The Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove, and a voice came from heaven, saying, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.
