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,
Tamy taom-paha folo-lime-ambi’ ty naha mpanjaka i Tiberio Kaisara, ie niragova e Iehodà t’i Pontio Pilato naho mpifeleke e Galilia t’i Heroda, naho mpifeleke e Itoria miharo am-pari’ i Trakonitisy t’i Filipo rahalahi’e, naho mpifeleke e Abilena t’i Lisania
2 in the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
vaho tami’ty naha-talèm-pisoroñe i Anasy naho i Kaiafa, le nivotrake amy Jaona ana’ i Zakaria am-babangoañe añe ty saontsin’ Añahare.
3 And he came into all the region round about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins;
Nitsitsihe’e i tane fiaria’ i saka Iordaneiy nitalily ty filiporam-pisolohoañe ho ami’ty fañahàn-kakeo;
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.
ie pinatetse amy boken-tsara’ Isaia mpitokiy ty ti-hoe: Ty fiarañànaña’ i mikoike am-patram-bey añey: Hajario ty lala’ i Talè, Avantaño o oloñolo’eo,
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;
Lembefañe ze hene goledoñe, aketrake ze atao vohitse naho tamboho, ho vantañeñe o mikelokelokeo, naho fonga hareneñe o lalañe tomoantoañeo;
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Vaho ho oni’ ze kila nofotse ty fandrombahan’ Añahare.
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?
Le hoe re tamy lahialeñe nivovotse mb’ ama’e mb’eo halipotsey: O ry Tariran-dapetake! Ia ty nanoro anahareo hibotitsike amy haviñerañe mitotokey?
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.
Ampiboaho vokatse mañeva soloho; le ko mamototse mitsakore an-troke ao ty hoe, Rae’ay t’i Abraàme. Itaroñako te mahafitroatse anake ho a i Abraàme amo vato retoañe t’i Andrianañahare.
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.
Fa ampoto-katae eo henaneo i fekoñey; le ho firaeñe vaho hafetsak’ añ’afo ao ze hatae tsy mamoa voa soa.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Aa hoe ty ontane’ i lahialeñey ama’e: Ino ty hanoe’ay?
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.
Hoe ty natoi’e: Ze aman-tsaroñe roe, soa re te handiva ami’ty tsy ama’e; le hoe zay ka ze manañe mahakama.
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Teacher, what must we do?
Pok’eo ka o mpamory vili-lohao halipotse, nanao ama’e ty hoe: O Mpañoke, ino ty hanoe’ay?
13 And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you.
Le hoe re tam’iereo: Ko mangalake mandikoatse ty linily ho anahareo.
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.
Le hoe ty ontane’ o lahin-defoñeo: Izahay ka! Ino ty hanoe’ay? Le hoe re tam’iereo: Ko misenge hery ama’ ondaty, le ko manao talily vìlañe, vaho mimoneña amo karama’areoo.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;
Amy fitamà’ ondatioy, le hene niereñere i Jaona añ’arofo te hera ie i Norizañey, ke tsy ie,
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:
le hoe ty natoi’ i Jaona am’iareo iaby: Toe alìpoko an-drano ao nahareo, fa homb’eo ty maozatse te amako; tsy mañeva ahy ty hañaha o tomin-kana’eo. Ie ty handipotse anahareo an-Tio Masiñe naho añ-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.
Am-pità’e ty tsikelo’e, le hahoro’e an-tihy famofohañe ao o vokatseo vaho hatonto’e an-driha o mahakamao, fa ho sodora’e añ’afo tsy hay vonoeñe ty kafo’e.
18 With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto the people;
Mbe maro ty fañosihañe nanoe’e te nitaroñe am’ondatio.
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,
Aa ie nitrevoke i Heroda mpanjaka ty amy Herodiasie valin-drahalahi’e naho ze fonga sata raty nanoe’ i Heroda,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
le mbore nahili’e am-balabey ao t’i Jaona, ho tovo’ iaby rezay.
21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Ie fonga nalipotse ondatio, nilipotse ka t’Iesoà, niloloke naho nisokake i likerañey
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.
vaho nizotso ama’e am-batañe manahake ty deho i Arofo Masiñey, le hoe ty fiarañanañañe hirik’andindìñe ao: Anako rehe, kokoako; Ihe ro mahafale ahiko.
