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,
Kaesare Tiberio dii ade ne mfe dunum so na Onyankopɔn asɛm baa Sakaria ba Yohane so wɔ sare so.
2 in the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
Saa bere no na Pilato yɛ amrado wɔ Yudea, na Herode di Galilea mansinhene; ne nua Filipo di Iturea ne Trakoniti mansin so, na Lisania di Abilene mansinhene, na Anas ne Kaiafa nso yɛ Yudafo asɔfo mpanyin.
3 And he came into all the region round about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins;
Yohane kyinkyinii Asubɔnten Yordan ho nyinaa kyerɛkyerɛɛ nnipa se, wɔmma wɔmmɔ wɔn asu nsakra mfi wɔn bɔne ho, na wɔde wɔn bɔne akyɛ wɔn.
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.
Sɛnea Odiyifo Yesaia kae se, “Nne bi teɛ mu wɔ sare so se, ‘Munsiesie kwan mma Awurade; momma nʼatempɔn nteɛ.
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;
Obon biara bɛyɛ ma. Bepɔw ne nkoko nyinaa bɛkɔ fam; asase a ɛyɛ abonkyiabonkyi no bɛyɛ tamaa, na mmeae a ɛyɛ akɔntɔnkye no ayɛ tataw.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Na nnipa nyinaa behu Onyankopɔn nkwagye.’”
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?
Yohane ka kyerɛɛ nkurɔfo a wɔbaa hɔ se ɔmmɔ wɔn asu no se, “Awɔ mma! Hena na ɔbɔɔ mo kɔkɔ sɛ munguan mfi abufuwhyew a ɛreba no ho?
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.
Monkɔbɔ ɔbra pa mfa nkyerɛ sɛ moasakra ampa. Na monnhoahoa mo ho sɛ moyɛ Abraham asefo, efisɛ Onyankopɔn betumi ama saa abo yi adan nnipa ma wɔabɛyɛ Abraham asefo.
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.
Onyankopɔn de nʼabonnua ato dua biara a ɛnsow aba pa ntin ho sɛ ɔde betwa na ɔde agu gya mu ahyew no.”
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Nnipakuw no bisaa no se, “Na ɛno de, dɛn na yɛnyɛ?”
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.
Yohane buaa wɔn se, “Sɛ wowɔ ntama abien a, ma nea onni bi no baako. Saa ara nso na sɛ wowɔ aduan a, ma nea onni bi no bi.”
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Teacher, what must we do?
Towgyefo a wɔbaa hɔ sɛ wɔmmɔ wɔn asu no nso bisae se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, yɛnyɛ dɛn?”
13 And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you.
Obuaa wɔn se, “Munnnye mmmoro nea wɔatwa ato hɔ sɛ munnye no.”
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.
Asraafo bi nso bisae se, “Yɛn nso yɛnyɛ dɛn?” Yohane buaa wɔn se, “Mommmɔ apoo, monntoto obiara ano, momma mo akatua nsɔ mo ani!”
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;
Esiane sɛ saa bere no na nnipa no nyinaa rehwɛ Agyenkwa no kwan nti, na wosusuw sɛ Yohane ne Agyenkwa no.
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:
Eyi maa Yohane ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Me de, mede nsu na ɛrebɔ mo asu. Nanso obi di mʼakyi a ɔreba a, ɔwɔ tumi sen me na ne mpaboa mpo, mensɛ sɛ mikura. Ɔno de, sɛ ɔba a ɔde Honhom Kronkron ne ogya na ɛbɛbɔ mo asu.
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.
Ɔno na sɛ ɔba a, obehuhuw aburow no so ayiyi mu aba pa no afi ntɛtɛ no mu, na ɔde aba pa no akosie na ɔde ogya a ennum da ahyew ntɛtɛ no.”
18 With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto the people;
Ɔnam afotu ahorow so kaa asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
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,
Yohane kaa Herode anim wɔ ne nua yere Herodia a ɔwaree no ne bɔne ahorow a na ɔyɛ no ho.
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Eyi maa Herode de Yohane too afiase.
21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Bere a Yohane bɔɔ nkurɔfo pii asu wiee no, ɔbɔɔ Yesu nso asu. Ɔbɔɔ no asu wiee a ɔrebɔ mpae no, ɔsoro buei.
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.
Honhom Kronkron sian te sɛ aborɔnoma baa Yesu so na nne bi fi ɔsoro kae se, “Wone me Dɔba a wosɔ mʼani.”
