Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, while his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Iturea and Trachonitis and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Tiberi badciamo n dini li bali, li piiga n bina mu po, Ponsi Piilaati den tie Suude bado, ke Herodi tie Gaalile bado, ke o ninjua Fiilipi tie Iture yeni Traconiiti bado, Lisaniasi tie Abilen bado.
2 during the high priesthood of Annas (also Caiaphas), the word of God came upon John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
Hani yeni Kayiifi n den tie bi Salyidcianba. Laa binli i ke U Tienu bo maadi leni Sakari bijua Jan mi fanpienma nni.
3 So he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins;
Jan bo gedi Surdan fuanli nni kuli. O bo yii bi niba ke ban cua ke ban wuli ba U Tienu ñima, ke lan waani ke bi lebdi bi yama ke U Tienu dini sugli bi tuonbiadi po.
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: “A voice calling out: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord in the wilderness, make His paths straight.
Yeni ke U Tienu Sawalpualo Esayi n bo diani yaala o tili nni tieni yeni mɔni: Bi gbia o nulo nialu ke o kpaandi mi fanpienma ki tua: Bobni man o sani,
5 Every ravine will be filled up, and every mountain and hill will be leveled; the crooked parts of the roads will be straightened out, and the rough parts will be smoothed out;
Baalɔdga kuli ba piini, Juali kuli yeni gbangbanli kuli ba sali, Ti sangolndi ba sondi, Ti sanbuodi kuli ṅ sali,
6 and all flesh will see the salvation of God.’”
Ke bi niba kuli ba lá U Tienu ŋalbalgo.
7 Then he said to the crowds that were coming out to be baptized by him: “You sons of poisonous snakes! Who tipped you off to flee from the coming wrath?
Jan bo maadi ya niwulgu n bo cuoni ki bua ke wan wuli ba U Tienu ñima ki: A waalaba buoli! ŋma tundi yi ke yi sani U Tienu mutuoli yaali n cuoni?
8 Well then, produce fruits befitting repentance, and don't even begin to say among yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as father,’ because I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!
Waani man i tuona nni ke i lebdi i yenyienu. Da kubi man i pala nni ke: «Ti tie Abrahama yaabila!» kelima, diidi man a tana ne: N maadi yi ke U Tienu ba fidi ki cedi ke ŋan kpandi Abrahama bila.
9 But even now the axe is being laid to the root of the trees; so then, every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
Tin faami! Bi bobni li yali ki ba cua ki guli i tiidi: Ya tubu kuli ki loni luanŋanli bi ba cua bu ki juu bu u muu.
10 So the people started asking him, “What then must we do?”
Lani ke ku niwulgu buali o: Ti ba tieni ledi?
11 In answer he said to them, “He who has two coats, let him share with him who has none; and he who has food should do likewise.”
ke o ŋmiani ba: li ya tie ke yua pia liada lie, wan teni yua ki pia, liadyenli. Yua pia ti jiedi mɔ, wan bɔgdi ki teni yua ki pia.
12 Well even tax collectors came to be baptized by him and said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
A patendgaala (lonpogaala) mɔ bo cua ke wan wuli ba U Tienu ñima. Bi bo buali Jan: ... Canbaa, ti ba tieni ledi?
13 So He said to them, “Don't charge more than what was determined to you.”
... ke o ŋmiani ba, Da gaa man ti patendi (lonpo) ke ti cie Gobna n seni maama.
14 So the soldiers started asking him too: “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Don't extort or harass anyone, and be content with your wages.”
Sijenba mɔ den buali o: ... Ke tinba i, ti mɔ ba tieni ledi? ... O den ŋmiani ba, da fie man obá ligi, ki gɔ da fani ku faagu obá po: I pali ṅ ya mani i ŋmaapani po.
15 Now as the people were expectant and all were reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether he just might be the Messiah,
Bi niba den ye li dandanli nni paaa, ki ji den buali bi bá nni, bii Jan n baa tie O Candaano.
16 John anticipated them all saying: “I indeed am baptizing you with water, but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal straps I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with Holy Spirit and fire;
Ke Jan ŋmiani bi kuli: ... Min wan wuu yi mi ñima nni. Ama o nulo ba cua, ki pia u paalu ki cie nni. Mii dagdi yeni min lodi o taacagbanu. Wani, o ba wuli yi mi Foŋanma yeni U Tienu muu nni.
17 whose winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor and gather the wheat into His barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
O kubi o dilendyetonga, ki ba lendi o dii, ki wodi i diŋami ki kuodi o bɔnbuali nni. Ku fengu wani, o ba lu gu ya muu n kan baa jundi (gbeni) nni.
18 (Indeed, with many other exhortations as well he kept on preaching to the people;
Jan gɔ ŋanbi ki puuni bi niba U Tienu ñɔmaama n buali maama, muandi ba laabamanli.
19 but Herod the tetrarch—being reproved by him concerning Herodias, his brother's wife, as also about all the wicked things that Herod perpetrated—
Ama, o bo jalgi o bado Herodi yeni wan kuani Herodiati, o ninjawaalo denpua, ki gɔ tieni ya tuonbiadi n yabi.
20 added this also to them all: he actually locked John up in his prison.)
Herodi gɔ bo cuo Jan ki luoni o dansalgi ki pugni o tuonbiadi po.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus, having been baptized also, was praying, when the heaven was opened
Bi niba kuli cua ke Jan n wuli ba U Tienu ñima. Ke Jan wuli Jesu mɔ U Tienu ñima. Ama, ya yogu ke Jesu den jaandi, ke Tanpoli po luodi.
22 and the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove and rested upon Him, and a Voice came out of heaven saying, “You are my beloved Son; in you I am always well pleased.”
Ke Mi Foŋanma jiidi o po, ki naani nani li lanjeli yeni, ke nialu bă ñani tanpoli po ki maadi: ... A tie n bibuadga. N pali mani a po boncianla.
23 (Beginning His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (so it was supposed) a son of Joseph, Jesus Himself was of Eli,
