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,
Xibeeriyoos Qeesaar moʼee waggaa kudha shanaffaatti jechuunis yommuu Phonxoos Phiilaaxoos bulchaa Yihuudaa turetti, Heroodis bulchaa Galiilaa ture; obboleessi isaa Fiiliphoos bulchaa Ixuriyaasii fi Xiraakonitiis, Lisaaniiyaas immoo bulchaa Abileeniis turan;
2 during the high priesthood of Annas (also Caiaphas), the word of God came upon John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
yeroo sana Haannaasii fi Qayyaaffaan luboota ol aantota turan. Dubbiin Waaqaa gammoojjii keessatti gara Yohannis ilma Zakkaariyaas dhufe.
3 So he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins;
Innis dhiifama cubbuutiif cuuphaa qalbii jijjiirrannaa lallabaa biyya naannoo Yordaanos hunda keessa deeme.
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.
Kunis isa kitaaba dubbii Isaayyaas raajichaa keessatti akkana jedhamee barreeffamee dha: “Sagalee nama gammoojjii keessaa iyyu tokkoo: ‘Karaa Gooftaa qopheessaa; daandii isaas qajeelchaa.
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;
Sululli hundi ni guutama; tulluu fi gaarri hundinuus gad deebifamu. Karaan jalʼaan ni qajeela; daandiin buʼaa baʼiinis wal qixxeeffama.
6 and all flesh will see the salvation of God.’”
Sanyiin namaa hundinuus fayyisuu Waaqaa ni arga.’”
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?
Yohannisis warra harka isaatti cuuphamuuf dhufaniin akkana jedhe; “Isin ijoollee buutii nana! Dheekkamsa dhufu jalaa akka baqattaniif eenyutu isinitti hime?
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!
Egaa ija qalbii jijjiirrannaa mirkaneessu naqadhaa. Isin, ‘Abbaan keenya Abrahaamii dha’ ofiin jechuu hin jalqabinaa. Waaqni dhagoota kanneen irraa Abrahaamiif ijoollee kaasuu akka dandaʼu ani isinittan himaatii.
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.”
Qottoon amma iyyuu hidda mukkeenii irra kaaʼameera; mukti ija gaarii hin naqanne hundinuus muramee ibiddatti darbatama.”
10 So the people started asking him, “What then must we do?”
Namoonni sunis, “Yoos maal haa goonuu ree?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
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.”
Yohannisis deebisee, “Namni uffata lama qabu isa homaa hin qabneef haa qoodu; kan nyaata qabus akkasuma haa godhu” jedheen.
12 Well even tax collectors came to be baptized by him and said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
Qaraxxoonni cuuphamuu dhufanii, “Yaa barsiisaa, nu hoo maal haa goonu?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
13 So He said to them, “Don't charge more than what was determined to you.”
Innis, “Waan ajajamtan caalaa walitti hin qabinaa” jedheen.
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.”
Loltoonnis akkasuma, “Nu immoo maal haa goonu ree?” jedhanii isa gaafatan. Innis, “Humnaan nama irraa maallaqa hin fudhatinaa; sobaan nama hin himatinaa; mindaan keessan isin haa gaʼu” jedheen.
15 Now as the people were expectant and all were reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether he just might be the Messiah,
Namoonni sun hawwiidhaan eegaa turan; hundi isaaniis, “Yohannis kun inni Kiristoos taʼinnaa laata?” jedhanii garaa isaaniitti yaadaa turan.
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;
Yohannis akkana jedhee isaan hundaaf deebii kenne; “Ani bishaaniin isin cuupha. Garuu kan na caalaa jabaa taʼe tokko ni dhufa; ani hidhaa kophee isaa illee hiikuun naaf hin malu. Inni Hafuura Qulqulluu fi ibiddaan isin cuupha.
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.”
Innis oobdii isaa qulqulleessee gombisaa isaatti qamadii galfachuudhaaf afarsaan isaa harka isaa jira; habaqii garuu ibidda hin dhaamneen guba.”
18 (Indeed, with many other exhortations as well he kept on preaching to the people;
Yohannisis dubbii biraa baayʼeedhaan namoota gorsee wangeelas isaanitti lallabe.
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—
Heroodis bulchaan garuu yommuu sababii inni niitii obboleessa isaa Heroodiyaas fuudhee fi sababii hammina inni hojjetee ture kaan hundaatiif Yohannis isa ifate,
20 added this also to them all: he actually locked John up in his prison.)
hammina isaa hunda irratti dabalee Yohannisin mana hidhaatti galchee itti cufe.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus, having been baptized also, was praying, when the heaven was opened
Yeroo namoonni hundinuu cuuphamaa turanitti, Yesuusis ni cuuphame. Utuu inni kadhachaa jiruu samiin banamee,
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.”
Hafuurri Qulqulluun bifa gugeetiin mulʼatee isa irratti gad buʼe. Sagaleen, “Ati Ilma koo isa ani jaalladhuu dha; ani sitti nan gammada” jedhu tokkos samii irraa ni dhufe.
23 (Beginning His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (so it was supposed) a son of Joseph, Jesus Himself was of Eli,
