Luke 3
1 Nowe in the fifteenth yeere of the reigne of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being gouernour of Iudea, and Herod being Tetrarch of Galile, and his brother Philip Tetrarch of Iturea, and of the countrey of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the Tetrarch of Abilene,
Ketah sangpuxang Tiberiha a bawi k'um, akum xaleimhma üng, Pontas Pilat cun Judah khaw ukia kyaki. Herod cun Kalile bawia kya lü, a na Philip cun Ituhrih la Tarakonik khawa bawi lü, Abilin khawa Luhtari cun bawia kyaki,
2 (When Annas and Caiaphas were the hie Priestes) the worde of God came vnto Iohn, the sonne of Zacharias in the wildernes.
Acunüng, Anna la Kaiphah ktaiyü ngvaia ani kya k'um üng, khawkhyawng khawa Pamhnama ngthu, Zakhariha capa Johana veia pha lawki.
3 And hee came into all the coastes about Iordan, preaching the baptisme of repentance for the remission of sinnes,
Acunüng, Johan cun Jordan tuinu kama, khaw avan üng cit hü lü, “Pamhnam naw nami katnak aning jah mhlätnak vaia, ngjut u lü baptican khan ua”
4 As it is written in the booke of the sayings of Esaias the Prophet, which saith, The voyce of him that crieth in the wildernes is, Prepare ye the way of the Lord: make his paths straight.
Sahma Hesajah naw, “Khawkhyawng khawa ngpyang hüki mata ngthu cun, ‘Bawipa lam pyang ua, a lam he jah ngdüngsak ua.
5 Euery valley shalbe filled, and euery mountaine and hill shall be brought lowe, and crooked things shalbe made straight, and the rough wayes shalbe made smoothe.
Nghawi naküt jah kbe ua. Mcung naküt pi jah ngmisak u lü, lam ngkhep he pi jah ngdüngsak ua,
6 And all flesh shall see the saluation of God.
khyang avan naw Pamhnama küikyanak hmu khai he’ tia, a ng’yuka kba,” a ti.
7 Then said he to the people that were come out to be baptized of him, O generations of vipers, who hath forewarned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Acunüng, khyang he baptican khan khai hea Johana veia lawki he üng, “Kphyuksea mjü he aw! Mhnama mlungsonak pha law khai üng nami lät khaia u naw aning jah mtheh ni?
8 Bring foorth therefore fruites worthy amendment of life, and beginne not to say with your selues, We haue Abraham to our father: for I say vnto you, that God is able of these stones to raise vp children vnto Abraham.
Acunakyase nami ngjutnak cun nami bilawh üng mdan ua. ‘Kami pu Abraham ni’ ä ti ua. Ka tiki ni, Pamhnam naw hina lung üngka Abrahama ca hea jah mcawm theiki ni.
9 Nowe also is the axe layed vnto the roote of the trees: therefore euery tree which bringeth not foorth good fruite, shalbe hewen downe, and cast into the fire.
“Thingphung avan üng xei msäna kyaki. Akdawa am ngtheihkia thing avan cun ksawm pit u lü mei üng tawna kya khai,” a ti.
10 Then the people asked him, saying, What shall we doe then?
Acunüng khyang he naw, “Ini kami pawh kawm?” tia ami kthäh.
11 And he answered, and said vnto them, He that hath two coates, let him part with him that hath none: and hee that hath meate, let him doe likewise.
Johan naw jah msang lü, “Upi kcu nghngih taki naw am taki üng mat pe se; upi ei vai taki naw am taki üng pe se,” a ti.
12 Then came there Publicanes also to bee baptized, and saide vnto him, Master, what shall we doe?
Ngcawn klawk he pi a veia baptican khan khaia law u lü, “Saja aw, ini kami pawh kawm?” tia ami kthäh.
13 And hee saide vnto them, Require no more then that which is appointed vnto you.
Johan naw, “Ami ning jah kthähsaka däm bawki ä kthäh ti ua,” a ti.
14 The souldiers likewise demaunded of him, saying, And what shall we doe? And he saide vnto them, Doe violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely, and be content with your wages.
Acukba yekap he naw pi, “Ini kami pawh kawm?” tia ami kthäh. Acunüng Johan naw, “Ua ngui pi ä yutei ua, amdanga khyang i ä kpuk sawxat ua, nami ngkhengnak khäksak ua,” a ti.
15 As the people waited, and all men mused in their heartes of Iohn, if he were not that Christ,
Acunüng, khyang he naw ngak'uhei u lü, khyang avan naw Johan cun ami mlung k'uma, “Mesijaha am kyaki aw?” tia ami ngaihkyu k'um üng,
16 Iohn answered, and saide to them all, In deede I baptize you with water, but one stronger then I, commeth, whose shoes latchet I am not worthy to vnloose: hee will baptize you with the holy Ghost, and with fire.
Johan naw, jah msang lü, “Kei naw tui üng baptican ka ning jah khansak khawiki; cunsepi keiha kyäp bawki law khai, a khawdawk yüi kphyan pe khaia pi am ngkawi nawng; ani naw Ngmüimkhya Ngcim la mei am baptican ning jah khan lawsak khai,
17 Whose fanne is in his hande, and hee will make cleane his floore, and will gather the wheate into his garner, but the chaffe will hee burne vp with fire that neuer shalbe quenched.
Angsi a jahnak vaia a kut üng kphya kpawmki; angtak kheia ta lü angsi cun am thi theihkia mei üng mkhih khai,” a ti.
18 Thus then exhorting with many other things, he preached vnto the people.
Acunüng ami ngneiksak ami thuhlaih vaia jah mcäi lü, thangkdaw pi jah mthehki.
19 But when Herod the Tetrarch was rebuked of him, for Herodias his brother Philips wife, and for all the euils which Herod had done,
Cunsepi sangpuxang Herod cun a na a khyu Herodih a khyunaka phäha la katnak khawjah a pawha phäha Johan naw a jüih.
20 He added yet this aboue all, that he shut vp Iohn in prison.
Acunüng Herod naw aksehlena Johan cun thawngim üng a khyüm.
21 Nowe it came to passe, as all the people were baptized, and that Iesus was baptized and did pray, that the heauen was opened:
Khyang he ami van baptican ami khan law päng üng, Jesuh pi baptican khan hngaki. Ktaiyü se khankhaw nghmawng law lü,
22 And the holy Ghost came downe in a bodily shape like a doue, vpon him, and there was a voyce from heauen, saying, Thou art my beloued Sonne: in thee I am well pleased.
Ngmüimkhya Ngcim cun mümca kba ngdang law lü a khana cu lawki, acunüng khankhaw üngka naw ngthu, “Nang ka jawng'engnak leng lenga ka capa; na khana ka jekyai leng lengki ni,” tia ngthang lawki.
