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,
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,
2 in the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
e kinde ma jodolo madongo ne gin Anas gi Kaifas, wach Nyasaye ne obiro ne Johana wuod Zekaria e thim.
3 And he came into all the region round about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins;
Nodhi e piny duto molworo Jordan, koyalo batiso mar weyo richo mondo mi owenegi richo.
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.
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.
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;
Hoho ka hoho nobugi mapongʼ, gode madongo gi matindo duto nopie. Yore mobam biro bedo moriere, yore motimo gogni nobed mayom.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Kendo ji duto biro neno warruok mar Nyasaye.’”
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?
Johana nowacho ne oganda mane biro mondo obatisgi niya, “Un koth thuondegi! En ngʼa mane onyisou mondo uring utony ne mirima mager mabiro?
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.
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.
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.
Le oseketi e tiend yiende, kendo yien ka yien ma ok nyag olemo mabeyo ibiro tongʼ mi go piny kendo witi e mach.”
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Oganda nopenje niya, “Kara en angʼo monego watim?”
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.
Johana nodwoko niya, “Ngʼat man-gi sede ariyo owinjore chiw achiel okonygo nyawadgi ma ongego, kendo jalno man kod chiemo bende onego tim kamano.”
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Teacher, what must we do?
Josol osuru bende nobiro ire mondo obatisgi. Negipenje niya, “Japuonj. En angʼo mowinjore watim?”
13 And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you.
Nonyisogi niya, “Kik usol osuru moloyo kaka idwaro ni mondo usol.”
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.
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.”
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;
Ji ne pod rito gi geno ahinya kendo giduto ne giwuoro ka giparo e chunjegi ni nyalo bedo ni Johana e Kristo.
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:
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.
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.
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.”
18 With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto the people;
To gi weche moko mangʼeny Johana nojiwo ji kendo noyalo Injili ne ji.
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,
To ka Johana nokwero Ruoth Herode nikech wach Herodia, ma chi owadgi, kendo kuom gik mamoko maricho mane osetimo,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Herode nomedo timo gima rachie moloyo kendo nomako Johana motero e od twech.
21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Kane ibatiso ji duto, Yesu bende ne obatisi. To kane olemo, polo noyawore
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.
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.”
