Luke 3
1 By now Tiberias had been Caesar for fifteen years. Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea. Herod was ruler of Galilee, his brother Philip was ruler of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanius was ruler of Abiline.
Leleꞌ naa, Tiberius dadꞌi keser mana toꞌu parendaꞌ sia Roma, too sanahulu lima ena. Pontius Pilatus dadꞌi hofernor sia propensi Yudea. Herodes dadꞌi hofernor sia propensi Galilea. Herodes aꞌan Filipus, dadꞌi hofernor sia propensi Iturea no propensi Trakonitis. Boe ma Lisanias dadꞌi hofernor sia propensi Abilene. Leleꞌ naa Hanas no Kayafas dadꞌi malangga monaeꞌ agama Yahudi sia kota Yerusalem. Leleꞌ naa o, Yohanis, Sakaria anan, leo sia mamana rouꞌ fo naꞌadꞌoꞌ mia kamboꞌ. Sia naa, Lamatuaꞌ fee hara-liin neu e.
2 Annas and Caiphas were the current high priests. This was the time when the word of God came to John, Zechariah's son, who was living in the desert.
3 He went throughout the whole Jordan region, announcing to everyone that they needed to be baptized to show they had repented and their sins had been forgiven.
Yohanis rena nala, ma ana lao nisiꞌ basa kamboꞌ mana deka no loe Yarden, de nafadꞌe atahori ra nae, “Hei musi mitaa ma lao hela basa sala mara, fo Lamatualain fee ambon neu sala-kilu mara naa ra. Hei o musi sarani dei, fo dadꞌi tanda oi, hei malole mo Lamatuaꞌ ena.”
4 As Isaiah the prophet wrote: “A voice was heard crying out in the desert, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord: make his paths straight.
Dalahulun, Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-olan baꞌi Yesaya suraꞌ soꞌal Yohanis nae, “Hambu atahori sia mamana rouꞌ nggasi nae, Basa atahori mihehere tao mitetu dalaꞌ, fo simbo Lamatuaꞌ neneman! Tao mitetu dalaꞌ fo soru E.
5 Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be leveled. Crooked ways will be straightened, and rough roads will be smoothed.
Mbori misofe ndola romaꞌ. Poko mitetu leteꞌ ra. Tao mindoo dꞌala penggoꞌ ra, tao mimilenu dꞌala fatu-fatuꞌ ra.
6 Every human being will see God's salvation.’”
Naa fo atahori mia basa nusaꞌ ra bisa bubꞌuluꞌ rae, Lamatuaꞌ nae fee atahori rasodꞌa mia sala-kilu nara.’”
7 John addressed the crowds that came to him to be baptized. “You viper's brood! Who warned you to flee from the coming judgment?” he asked.
Atahori hetar rema mia sudꞌiꞌ a bee fo roꞌe Yohanis sarani se. Te ana bua se nae, “Weh! Hei mana peko-lelekoꞌ! Hei onaꞌ mengge marasoꞌ a! Afiꞌ duꞌa mae hei nenemboꞌit mia Lamatuaꞌ huku-dokin noꞌa lelekoꞌ miloeꞌ tao sala! Hokoꞌ! Nda dooꞌ sa ena, Lamatuaꞌ fee huku-dokiꞌ neu basa atahori nda mana dꞌoaꞌ tao salaꞌ no matetuꞌ sa.
8 “Demonstrate that you have truly repented. Don't try to justify yourselves by saying, ‘We're Abraham's descendants.’ Let me tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these stones.
Hei afiꞌ duꞌa mae, ‘Au ia nda hambu huku-dokiꞌ sa, huu au baꞌi Abraham tititi-nonosin.’ Hambu sia bee taꞌo naa? Naa nda tulun hei sa, huu nda bisa tao nggi dadꞌi atahori meumareꞌ sa. Lamatuaꞌ bisa tao fatu ia ra dadꞌi baꞌi Abaraham tititi-nonosin. Au ufadꞌe, e! Mitudꞌu no hei tatao-nonoim mara, mae hei misidꞌea lao hela sala mara, ma tungga baliꞌ neu Lamatuaꞌ ena.
9 The ax is set to begin chopping at the base of the trees. Any tree that doesn't produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.”
Hei musi tao dꞌala maloleꞌ. Mete ma hokoꞌ, dodꞌoo fa te hei hambu Lamatuaꞌ huku-doki mamberan, onaꞌ atahori ungga hendi hau huuꞌ rendiꞌ taꞌa. Mete ma hau huuꞌ sa nda naꞌena buna-bꞌoa maloleꞌ sa, na, nda ma nggunaꞌ sa! De malole lenaꞌ ungga hendi e, fo tao ai rala neu.”
10 “So what should we do?” the crowds asked him.
Basa ma, atahori naa ra ratane Yohanis rae, “Dadꞌi hai musi tao sa?”
11 “If you have two coats, then share with someone who doesn't have one. If you have food, then share with those who don't,” he told them.
Boe ma ana nataa nae, “Mete ma miꞌena badꞌu rua, na, fee esa neu atahori nda ma badꞌuꞌ sa. Mete ma miꞌena nanaat, na, banggi fee atahori nda mana naꞌena nanaat sa.”
12 Some tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher, what should we do?” they also asked.
Basa ma, mana edꞌa bea ra rema roꞌe Yohanis sarani se. Ara ratane rae, “Papa meser! Hai musi tao taꞌo bee?”
13 “Don't collect any more tax than you're meant to,” he replied.
Ana nataa nae, “Hei akaꞌ peko-lelekoꞌ. Te ia na hei musi ue-tao no ndoo-tetuꞌ. Afi moꞌe bea lenaꞌ-lenaꞌ mia mana parenda ra atoran. Hela rauinggu ra bae bea tungga atoran.”
14 “What about us?” some soldiers asked. “What should we do?” “Don't demand money with threats of violence. Don't make accusations that are untrue. Be satisfied with your wages,” he replied.
Hambu soldꞌadꞌu hira o mia naa boe. Ara ratane Yohanis rae, “hai taꞌo bee? Hai musi tao sa?” Basa ma nataa nae, “Afi mia mateꞌ atahori ra doin, tungga hihii mara. Ma afiꞌ fua salaꞌ leli neu atahori. Hei musi mimihoꞌo-mitidꞌale mo nggadꞌi mara.”
15 The people were waiting expectantly, and wondered whether John himself might be the Messiah.
Rena oꞌolan ma, basa atahori ra esa keis esa ma utu-utu rae, “Awee! Mbei ma Yohanis ia, Kristus, fo Lamatuaꞌ helu basa nae haitua nema eniꞌ a dalahulun!”
16 John replied and explained to everybody, “Yes, I am baptizing you in water. But the one who is coming is more important than me, and I'm not worthy to undo his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
Te Yohanis ai se nae, “Rena malolole! Dei fo hambu atahori sa manaseliꞌ lena au nae nema. Onaꞌ mae dadꞌiꞌ a dedꞌenun o, au nda undandaa sa. Au sarani hei noꞌ a oe, te dei fo Ana tao lenaꞌ au, Ana tao nasofe rala mara no Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren. Dei fo Ana tao nameu nggi, onaꞌ atahori hotu manggarauꞌ rendiꞌ ai.
17 His winnowing fork is in his hand and he's ready to separate the wheat from the chaff on his threshing floor. He'll gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with fire that can't be extinguished.”
Ana huku-doki atahori mana tao salaꞌ ra, onaꞌ atahori mana tao moleꞌ sa nalaidꞌi are-gandum dꞌekeꞌ. Basa ma ana oni are-gandum dꞌeke meuꞌ nisiꞌ soka-poleꞌ rala neu, ma hotu hendi manggenggeoꞌ ra. Onaꞌ naa boe, dei fo Kristus huku-doki atahori mana tao salaꞌ ra, ma nggari se risiꞌ ai mbilaꞌ nda mana mamaꞌetuꞌ a sa.
18 John gave many warnings like this as he announced the good news to the people.
No taꞌo naa, Yohanis fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ mata-mataꞌ neu atahori, ma nafadꞌe se Lamatuaꞌ Hara-lii Malolen.
19 But when John reprimanded Herod the ruler for marrying Herodias, Herod's brother's wife, and for all the evil things he'd done,
Leleꞌ naa, Yohanis o olaꞌ relo-relo Herodes tataon. Eni salan taꞌo ia: Herodes naa, hofernor sia propensi Galilea. Salan naen seli ena. Salan esa, naeni: Ana lea nala odꞌin saon, naran Herodias. Naa te, odin feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ, ma nda feꞌe mahelaꞌ no Herodias sa. Herodes masodꞌan fo nda matetuꞌ naa sa, tao Yohanis ai e no relo-relo, de Herodes nda hii e sa. Basa ma Herodes toꞌu nala e, de nggari e bui rala neu.
20 Herod added to his crimes by having John thrown into jail.
21 Now it happened that after everyone had been baptized, Jesus was baptized as well. As he was praying, heaven was opened,
Dalahulun, leleꞌ ara nda feꞌe humu Yohanes sa, ana sarani atahori hetar. Ma Ana o sarani Yesus boe. Basa naa ma Yesus hule-oꞌe ma lalai a sii.
22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, taking the form of a dove. A voice came from heaven, saying, “You are my son, the one I love. I am truly pleased with you.”
Boe ma Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren onda neu E. Dula-daleꞌ a mata aon onaꞌ mbui lunda. Boe ma haraꞌ mia lalai nae, “Ho ia, Au Ana susue ngga. Ho tao mumuhoꞌo Au mukundooꞌ a.”
23 Jesus was around thirty when he began his public ministry. People presumed he was the son of Joseph. Joseph was the son of Heli,
