Luke 3
1 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 the region of Ituræa and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Ketah sangpuxang Tiberiha a bawi k'um, akum xaleimhma üng, Pontas Pilat cun Judah khaw ukia kyaki. Herod cun Kalile bawia kya lü, a na Philip cun Ituhrih la Tarakonik khawa bawi lü, Abilin khawa Luhtari cun bawia kyaki,
2 in the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
Acunüng, Anna la Kaiphah ktaiyü ngvaia ani kya k'um üng, khawkhyawng khawa Pamhnama ngthu, Zakhariha capa Johana veia pha lawki.
3 And he came into all the region round about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins;
Acunüng, Johan cun Jordan tuinu kama, khaw avan üng cit hü lü, “Pamhnam naw nami katnak aning jah mhlätnak vaia, ngjut u lü baptican khan ua”
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.
Sahma Hesajah naw, “Khawkhyawng khawa ngpyang hüki mata ngthu cun, ‘Bawipa lam pyang ua, a lam he jah ngdüngsak ua.
5 Every valley shall be filled, And every mountain and hill shall be brought low; And the crooked shall become straight, And the rough ways smooth;
Nghawi naküt jah kbe ua. Mcung naküt pi jah ngmisak u lü, lam ngkhep he pi jah ngdüngsak ua,
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
khyang avan naw Pamhnama küikyanak hmu khai he’ tia, a ng’yuka kba,” a ti.
7 He said therefore to the multitudes that went out to be baptized of him, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Acunüng, khyang he baptican khan khai hea Johana veia lawki he üng, “Kphyuksea mjü he aw! Mhnama mlungsonak pha law khai üng nami lät khaia u naw aning jah mtheh ni?
8 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.
Acunakyase nami ngjutnak cun nami bilawh üng mdan ua. ‘Kami pu Abraham ni’ ä ti ua. Ka tiki ni, Pamhnam naw hina lung üngka Abrahama ca hea jah mcawm theiki ni.
9 And even now the axe also lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
“Thingphung avan üng xei msäna kyaki. Akdawa am ngtheihkia thing avan cun ksawm pit u lü mei üng tawna kya khai,” a ti.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Acunüng khyang he naw, “Ini kami pawh kawm?” tia ami kthäh.
11 And he answered and said unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
Johan naw jah msang lü, “Upi kcu nghngih taki naw am taki üng mat pe se; upi ei vai taki naw am taki üng pe se,” a ti.
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Teacher, what must we do?
Ngcawn klawk he pi a veia baptican khan khaia law u lü, “Saja aw, ini kami pawh kawm?” tia ami kthäh.
13 And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you.
Johan naw, “Ami ning jah kthähsaka däm bawki ä kthäh ti ua,” a ti.
14 And soldiers also asked him, saying, And we, what must we do? And he said unto them, Extort from no man by violence, neither accuse [any one] wrongfully; and be content with your wages.
Acukba yekap he naw pi, “Ini kami pawh kawm?” tia ami kthäh. Acunüng Johan naw, “Ua ngui pi ä yutei ua, amdanga khyang i ä kpuk sawxat ua, nami ngkhengnak khäksak ua,” a ti.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;
Acunüng, khyang he naw ngak'uhei u lü, khyang avan naw Johan cun ami mlung k'uma, “Mesijaha am kyaki aw?” tia ami ngaihkyu k'um üng,
16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and [in] fire:
Johan naw, jah msang lü, “Kei naw tui üng baptican ka ning jah khansak khawiki; cunsepi keiha kyäp bawki law khai, a khawdawk yüi kphyan pe khaia pi am ngkawi nawng; ani naw Ngmüimkhya Ngcim la mei am baptican ning jah khan lawsak khai,
17 whose fan is in his hand, thoroughly to cleanse his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
Angsi a jahnak vaia a kut üng kphya kpawmki; angtak kheia ta lü angsi cun am thi theihkia mei üng mkhih khai,” a ti.
18 With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto the people;
Acunüng ami ngneiksak ami thuhlaih vaia jah mcäi lü, thangkdaw pi jah mthehki.
19 but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
Cunsepi sangpuxang Herod cun a na a khyu Herodih a khyunaka phäha la katnak khawjah a pawha phäha Johan naw a jüih.
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Acunüng Herod naw aksehlena Johan cun thawngim üng a khyüm.
21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Khyang he ami van baptican ami khan law päng üng, Jesuh pi baptican khan hngaki. Ktaiyü se khankhaw nghmawng law lü,
22 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form, as a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
Ngmüimkhya Ngcim cun mümca kba ngdang law lü a khana cu lawki, acunüng khankhaw üngka naw ngthu, “Nang ka jawng'engnak leng lenga ka capa; na khana ka jekyai leng lengki ni,” tia ngthang lawki.
