< Luke 3 >

1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,

Na i te tekau ma rima o nga tau o te rangatiratanga o Taipiria Hiha, i a Ponotia Pirato e kawana ana i Huria, i a Herora e tetaraki ana i Kariri, i tona teina hoki, i a Piripi, e tetaraki ana i Ituria, i te whenua hoki o Tarakonaiti, ko Raihania e tetaraki ana i Apirini,

2 Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.

Ko Anaha raua ko Kaiapa nga tohunga nui, ka puta te kupu a te Atua ki a Hoani tama a Hakaraia ki te koraha.

3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the immersion of repentance in order to the remission of sins;

Na ka haere mai ia ki nga wahi katoa e patata ana ki Horano, ka kauwhau i te iriiri ripeneta hei murunga hara;

4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight;

I pera ano ia me te mea i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga korero a Ihaia poropiti, He reo no tetahi i te koraha e karanga ana, Whakapaia te huarahi o te Ariki, whakatikaia ona ara;

5 every ravine shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made level; and the crooked ways shall be made straight; and the rough ways shall be made smooth;

Ka whakakiia nga awaawa katoa, ka whakahoroa nga maunga me nga pukepuke katoa; e meinga hoki kia tika nga wahi kopikopiko, ko nga wahi taratara hei ara maeneene.

6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

A e kite nga kikokiko katoa i te whakaoranga a te Atua.

7 Therefore he said to the multitudes that came out to be immersed by him: Generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

Na reira ka mea ia ki nga mano i haere kia iriiria e ia, E te uri nakahi, na wai koutou i whakamahara kia rere i te riri meake puta mai?

8 Bring forth, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance. And begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.

Na whakaputaina nga hua e rite ana ki o te ripeneta; kei anga kei mea i roto i a koutou, Ko Aperahama to tatou matua: ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, E ahei ana ano i te Atua te whakaara tamariki ake ma Aperahama i roto i enei kohatu.

9 And now also the ax is lying at the root of the trees; therefore, every tree that does not produce good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire.

Na inaianei ano kei te pa te toki ki te pakiaka o nga rakau: ki te kahore tetahi rakau e hua i te hua pai, ka tuaina, ka maka ki te ahi.

10 And the multitudes asked him, saying: What, then, shall we do?

Na ka ui nga mano ki a ia, ka mea, Me aha ra matou?

11 He answered and said to them: He that has two coats, let him give to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise.

Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te tangata i nga koti e rua, kia hoatu ki te tangata kahore ona; me te tangata he kai tana, kia pera ano.

12 And the publicans also came to be immersed, and they said to him: Teacher, what shall we do?

Na ka haere mai hoki nga pupirikana kia iriiria, ka mea ki a ia, E te kaiwhakaako, me aha matou?

13 And he said to them: Exact no more than that which is appointed you.

Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kei nui ake i nga mea i whakaritea ma koutou ta koutou e tango ai.

14 And soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Take nothing from any one by extortion, nor by false accusation, and be content with your pay.

Ka ui ano hoki nga hoia ki a ia, ka mea, Me aha hoki matou? Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, Kaua e tukinotia tetahi, kaua e muru noa i tetahi mea; kati ano ma koutou ko o koutou utu.

15 While the people were in suspense, and all were reasoning in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not,

Na, i te iwi e tatari ana e whakaaroaro katoa ana i roto i o ratou ngakau ki a Hoani, mehemea ko te Karaiti ia;

16 John answered them all, saying: I indeed immerse you in water; but there comes One mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.

Ka whakahoki a Hoani, ka mea ki a ratou katoa, Ko ahau nei, he iriiri taku i a koutou ki te wai; kei te haere mai ia tetahi he kaha rawa ake i ahau, e kore ahau e tau hei wewete i te here o ona hu: mana koutou e iriiri ki te Wairua Tapu, ki te k apura.

17 His winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his thrashing-floor, and gather the grain into his granary, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.

Ko tana mea tahi kei tona ringa, hei tino tahi i tana patunga witi, hei kohi hoki i te witi ki roto ki tana whare witi: ko te papapa ia e tahuna ki te kapura e kore e tineia.

18 With many other exhortations he proclaimed the good news to the people.

He maha atu ano ana kupu whakahau i kauwhau ai ia i te rongopai ki te iwi.

19 But Herod the tetrarch having been reproved by him on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and for all the wicked deeds which Herod did,

Otira, na tona riringa i a Herora tetaraki mo Heroriaha, mo te wahine a tona tuakana, a Piripi, a mo nga kino katoa hoki i meinga e Herora;

20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

Ka apititia atu e Herora tenei ki runga i era katoa, tutakina ana e ia a Hoani ki te whare herehere.

21 And it came to pass, while all the people were being immersed, that Jesus also was immersed; and as he was praying, the heaven was opened,

Na, ka poto katoa te iwi te iriiri, i a Ihu kua oti te iriiri, a i a ia e inoi ana, ka tuwhera te rangi,

22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, in a bodily form, like a dove; and there came a voice from heaven, which said: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I delight.

A ka heke iho te Wairua Tapu, ka heke tinana iho, ano he kukupa, ki runga ki a ia, a ka puta mai he reo no te rangi, e mea ana, Ko koe taku Tama i aroha ai, taku i ahuareka ai.

23 And Jesus was about thirty years old when he began his ministry, being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, son of Heli,
