Luke 3
1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Loma yaaba badiciamo Tibeli Sesa bali piiga n binmuuli binli, Ponisa Pilata den tie Jude diema gufeneeli, Elodo den die Galile diema, O waalo Filipi n ya die Itule leni Takonita diema, Lisaniasa mo n ya die Abilena diema.
2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
Hana leni Kayifa den taani ki tie bi kopadicianba badiba. Laa binli Sakali bijua Jan den ye mi fanpienma nni, ke U Tienu den maadi leni o.
3 He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,
Lane o den caa ya dogi n baali Judana ki wangi bi niba ke ban biidi bi pala bi tuonbiadi po ki lebidi bi yama wan batisi ba ban baa bi tuonbiadi sugili.
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.
Nani lan diani maama o sawalipualo Esayi tili nni: O nilo Kpaani mi fanpienma nni ki tua: Yin bogini mani o Diedo sanu, ki naadi mani o sani.
5 Every valley shall be filled in, and every mountain and hill made low. The crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.
Bi baa gbieni ti joaloandi kuli, ki jiini joacianli leni joabiga kuli ki dagini, ki naadi a sangoana, ki piini ti sanbuodi.
6 And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”
Nisaalo kuli baa la U Tienu faabima.
7 Then John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
A nigola den kpendi Jan kani ke wan batisiba. O den maadi ba ki tua: “Yinba u waalabibuolu na, ŋme fandi yi yin sani ki ciadi U Tienu pabienli yaali n baa cua na?
8 Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
Yin ya tuuni mani ya tuona n doagidi ke yi lebidi yi yama. Yin da tua yi pala nni: 'Ti pia Abalahama ke o tie ti yaaja.' N waani yi ke U Tienu baa fidi ki teni ya tama n tie na n tua Abalahama puoliŋuani.
9 The axe lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”
Baa moala bi caani li yali i tijiini po. Ya tibu n ki luoni ya bonluonkaala n ŋani kuli, bi baa pedibu ki lu mi fantama nni.”
10 The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”
A nigola den buali o ki tua: “Ti nan baa tieni lede?”
11 John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”
O den goa yedi ba: “Yua n pia liada lie, wan boagidi leni yua n ki pia, yua n pia mi jiema moko n tieni yeni.”
12 Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”
Bi lubigaaba moko den cua ke wan batisi ba, ki yedi o: “Canbaa, ti baa tieni lede?”
13 “Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.
O den goa yedi ba: “Yin da ga li lubili ki cie ban bili maama.”
14 Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” “Do not take money by force or false accusation,” he said. “Be content with your wages.”
A minteela moko den buali o: “Ti mo baa tieni lede?” O den yedi ba: “Da tieni mani bi niba u paalu, ki da gaani suuli ki kuli oba. Yin mangi mani yi pala leni yi ŋmapani.”
15 The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.
Bi niba den gu ki sugini U Tienu n gandi yua cuama. Bi kuli den buali bi yula Jan ya tie U Tienu n gandi yua.
16 John answered all of them: “I baptize you with water, but One more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
O den yedi bi kuli: “Mini n batisi yi leni mi ñima, ama yua n pia u paalu ki cie nni baa cua, mii pundi baa yua n baa loti o cacaabaabu. Wani, o baa batisi yi leni U Tienu Fuoma Yua, leni mi fantama.
17 His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
O kubi o kaaligu o nuu nni, o baa ŋanbi o jalu cain, ki lendi ki tigi ki wodi ki kuodi o buali nni ki nan sia mi fenma nni ya fantama n kaa pia gbindima.”
18 With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.
Jan wangi bi niba o laabaaliŋamo ki go tundi ba tunditoe boncianla.
19 But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,
Ama wan den funi leni Elodo yua n die Galile kelima o waalo pua Elodiasa po leni wan tieni ya tuonbiadi kuli po,
20 Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.
Elodo go den pugini laa tuonbiadi kuli po tuonbiatoadi, ki luoni Jan li kadidieli nni.
21 When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,
Bi niba kuli den kpendi ke Jan batisi ba, o den batisi Jesu moko. Jesu n den jaandi ya yogunu, tanpoli den luodi
22 and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
ke U Tienu Fuoma Yua ñani lipo ke o nannanli naani leni ki kpaajiega ki jiidi ki jagini Jesu po. Bi den gbadi u nialu ke u maadi ŋali tanpoli po ki yedi: “A tie n Bijabuadiga n pali mani apo ŋali boncianla.”
