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,
Ary tamin’ ny taona fahadimy ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Tiberia Kaisara, fony Pontio Pilato no governora tany Jodia, ary Heroda no mpanapaka tany Galilia, ary Filipo rahalahiny no mpanapaka ny tany Itoria sy Trakonitisy, ary Lysania no mpanapaka tany Abilena,
2 in the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
ary Anasy sy Kaiafa no mpisoronabe, ― dia tonga tamin’ i Jaona, zanak’ i Zakaria, tany an-efitra ny tenin’ Andriamanitra.
3 And he came into all the region round about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins;
Ary nankany amin’ ny tany rehetra any amoron’ i Jordana izy nitory ny batisan’ ny fibebahana ho famelan-keloka;
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.
araka ny voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tenin’ Isaia mpaminany hoe: Injany! misy feon’ ny miantso mafy any an-efitra hoe: Amboary ny lalan’ i Jehovah, Ataovy mahitsy ny lalan-kalehany.
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;
Ny lohasaha rehetra hototofana, Ary ny tendrombohitra sy ny havoana rehetra haetry, Ary ny meloka hahitsy, Ary ny lalana mikitoantoana hohamarinina;
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Ary ny nofo rehetra hahita ny famonjen’ Andriamanitra.
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?
Dia hoy izy tamin’ ny vahoaka izay nankeo aminy mba hataony batisa: Ry taranaky ny menarana, iza no nanoro hevitra anareo handositra ny fahatezerana ho avy?
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.
Koa mamoaza voa miendrika ny fibebahana; ary aza manao anakampo hoe: Manana an’ i Abrahama ho rainay izahay; fa lazaiko aminareo fa Andriamanitra mahay manangana zanaka ho an’ i Abrahama avy amin’ ireto vato ireto.
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.
Ary, indro, efa mipetraka ao amin’ ny fototry ny hazo sahady ny famaky; koa ny hazo rehetra izay tsy mamoa voa tsara dia hokapohina ka hatsipy any anaty afo.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Ary ny vahoaka nanontany an’ i Jaona hoe: inona ary no hataonay?
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.
Ary namaly izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Izay manana akanjo roa dia aoka hanome ho an’ ny tsy manana; ary izay manan-kanina, dia aoka hanao toy izany koa izy.
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Teacher, what must we do?
Dia avy koa ny mpamory hetra sasany mba hataony batisa ka nanao taminy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, inona no hataonay?
13 And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you.
Ary hoy izy taminy: Aza mampandoa mihoatra noho izay notendrena halainareo.
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.
Ary nisy miaramila koa nanontany azy ka nanao hoe: Ary inona kosa no mba hataonay? Dia hoy izy taminy: Aza mitohatoha foana amin’ olona, ary aza miampanga lainga, ary mianina amin’ ny karamanareo.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;
Fa raha mbola niandry ny olona, ka samy nisaina an’ i Jaona tam-pony, na izy no Kristy, na tsia,
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:
dia namaly Jaona ka nanao tamin’ izy rehetra hoe: Izaho manao batisa anareo amin’ ny rano, fa avy Izay mahery noho izaho, ka tsy miendrika hamaha ny fehin-kapany aza aho; Izy no hanao batisa anareo amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna sy ny afo;
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.
eny an-tànany ny fikororohany hanadiovany tsara ny no am-pamoloany ka hanangonany ny vary ho any amin’ ny sompiny; fa ny akofa sy ny mololo hodorany amin’ ny afo tsy azo vonoina.
18 With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto the people;
Ary fananarana maro hafa koa no notoriny tamin’ ny olona.
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,
Fa Heroda mpanapaka, nony nanarin’ i Jaona noho ny amin’ i Herodiasy, vadin-drahalahiny, sy noho ny ratsy rehetra izay nataony,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
dia nanidy an’ i Jaona tao an-tranomaizina ho fanampin’ izany rehetra izany koa.
21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Ary rehefa natao batisa ny vahoaka rehetra, ary Jesosy koa efa natao batisa sy nivavaka, dia nisokatra ny lanitra;
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.
ary ny Fanahy Masìna nidina teo amboniny, ka ny endriny dia tahaka ny voromailala; ary nisy feo avy tany an-danitra nanao hoe: Hianao no Zanako malalako; Hianao no sitrako.
