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,
Nan tan sa a, Seza Tibè te gen kenzan depi li te wa; Pons Pilat t'ap kòmande nan peyi Jide; Ewòd menm te chèf nan peyi Galile; Filip, frè Ewòd la, te chèf nan peyi Litoure ak nan rejyon Trakonit; Lizanyas te chèf nan Labilèn.
2 in the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
Lè sa a, se An ak Kayif ki t'ap sèvi tankou granprèt. Nan menm epòk sa a, Bondye pale ak Jan, pitit Zakari a, ki te nan dezè a.
3 And he came into all the region round about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins;
Jan mache nan tout peyi bò larivyè Jouden an; li t'ap bay mesaj sa a: Tounen vin jwenn Bondye. vin resevwa batèm: Bondye va padonnen peche nou yo.
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.
Se konsa, sa ki te ekri nan Liv ki gen pawòl pwofèt Ezayi a vin rive vre: Se vwa yon nonm k'ap rele nan dezè a: Pare gran wout Seyè nou an. Plani chemen an byen plani pou li.
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;
Tout fon gen pou konble. Tout gwo mòn, tout ti mòn gen pou vin plat. Kote ki gen detou gen pou vin dwat. Chemen ki an movèz eta gen pou vin bèl.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Tout moun va wè jan Bondye ap delivre nou an.
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?
Moun t'ap vin an foul bò kote Jan pou l' te batize yo. Lè konsa li di yo: Bann vèmen! Ki moun ki fè nou konnen nou kapab chape anba kòlè Bondye k'ap vini an?
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.
Fè bagay ki pou fè wè nou chanje lavi nou tout bon. Sispann di nan kè nou: Se pitit pitit Abraram nou ye! Paske, mwen pa kache di nou sa: Bondye kapab pran wòch sa yo, li fè yo tounen pitit pou Abraram.
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.
Epitou, rach la tou pare pou koupe rasin pyebwa yo. Nenpòt pyebwa ki pa bay bon donn, yo pral koupe sa, jete nan dife.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Foul moun yo mande l' konsa: Kisa pou nou fè menm?
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.
Li reponn yo: Sa ki gen de rad, se pou yo bay sak pa genyen an yonn. Sa ki gen manje pou manje, se pou l' separe l' bay yon lòt.
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Teacher, what must we do?
Kèk pèseptè kontribisyon te vini tou pou l' te batize yo. Yo mande Jan: Mèt, kisa pou nou fè?
13 And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you.
Li reponn yo: Pa fè moun peye plis pase sa lalwa mande a.
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.
Kèk sòlda tou mande li: E nou menm, kisa pou nou fè? Li reponn yo: Pa fè brital ak pesonn. Pa fè manti sou pesonn pou pran lajan nan men yo. Fè kè nou kontan ak sa yo peye nou an.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;
Pèp la t'ap tann konsa: yo t'ap mande nan kè yo si se pa Jan ki Kris la.
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:
Lè sa a, Jan di yo tout: Mwen batize nou nan dlo. Men, gen yon moun ki gen pou vini ki gen plis pouvwa anpil pase mwen. Mwen menm, mwen pa bon ase pou m' ta demare kòd sapat ki nan pye li. Se li menm ki va batize nou nan Sentespri ak nan dife.
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.
Laye l' nan men li, l'ap vannen tout grenn ki sou glasi a. La ranmase grenn ki bon yo, la mete yo nan galata li. Men, l'ap boule pay la nan yon dife ki p'ap janm mouri.
18 With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto the people;
Se avèk anpil lòt pawòl konsa Jan t'ap ba yo konsèy, li t'ap anonse bon nouvèl la bay pèp la.
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,
Men, Jan te fè chèf Ewòd repwòch poutèt Ewodyad, madanm frè li a, li te pran pou madanm li, ak pou anpil lòt move zak li te fè.
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Le sa a, Ewòd mete ankò sou sa l' te fè deja: li fè fèmen Jan nan prizon.
21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Lè Jan te fin batize tout moun, li batize Jezi tou. Antan Jezi t'ap lapriyè, syèl la louvri.
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.
Sentespri a desann sou li an fòm yon ti pijon. Yon vwa soti nan syèl la, li di: Ou se Pitit mwen renmen anpil la, ou fè kè m' kontan anpil.
