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,

2 (When Annas and Caiaphas were the hie Priestes) the worde of God came vnto Iohn, the sonne of Zacharias in the wildernes.
Anna ingkaw Kaiapha khawsoeih boei khyt na a ni awm awh, ) kqawng na ak awm Zekariah capa Johan a venawh Khawsak awi ce law hy.
3 And hee came into all the coastes about Iordan, preaching the baptisme of repentance for the remission of sinnes,
Anih ing ce Jordan long keng qam boeih awh cet nawh thawlh qeennaak ham zutnaak baptisma awi ce kqawn hy.
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.
Tawngha Isaiah ak awi cabu awh a na qee hyt myihna: “Ramkoh awhkaw ak khy awi ing, 'Bawipa a lam ce qoek a bah unawh, a lamkhqi ce qui sak lah uh,
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.
Lawk-kqawngkhqi ce be kawm usaw, tlangkhqi ce neem sak kawm uh; Lam ak kawikhqi ce dyng kawm usaw, lam ak kawkkhqi ce qui sakna awm kaw.
6 And all flesh shall see the saluation of God.
Cawhtaw thlang boeih ing Khawsa a hulnaak ce hu kawm uh' tinawh,” kqawn hy.
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?
A venawh baptisma huh aham ak law thlang kqeng a venawh, “Nangmih khqui a cadilkhqi! Ak law hly kawi kawsonaak ce cehtaak aham u ing a nik kqawn peek khqi?
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.
Zutnaak ing ak tingna thaih qah lah uh. Na mimah ingkaw na mimah, “Abraham cahlah ni,” koeh ti uh. Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, vawhkaw lungkhqi za Khawsa ing Abraham a cakhqi na dyih sak thai hy.
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.
Tuhkawng taw thing kung boeih awh hqaica toen na awm hawh hy, thing ikawmih awm ak thaih leek amak qah taw hlu unawh mai awh phum khawi uhy,” tinak khqi hy.
10 Then the people asked him, saying, What shall we doe then?
Cawh thlang kqeng ing, “Cawhtaw ikaw ka mi sai kaw?” tinawh doet uhy.
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 ing, “Angki zunghih ak ta ing amak ta ce pe seitaw, awk-ai ak ta ing amak ta a venawh cemyihna sai lawt seh,” tinak khqi hy.
12 Then came there Publicanes also to bee baptized, and saide vnto him, Master, what shall we doe?

13 And hee saide vnto them, Require no more then that which is appointed vnto you.
Cek khqi venawh, “A ngoe anglakawh ak doem na koeh cawi law uh,” tinak khqi hy.
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.
Qalkap a vangkhqi ce law unawh a venawh, “Kaimih taw ikaw ka mi sai kaw?” tina uhy. A mingmih a venawh, “Amak thym na tangka koeh lo unawh, amak thym na thlang thawlh koeh puk uh; nami huh namik thaphu ing naming ngaih qep sak uh,” tinak khqi hy.
15 As the people waited, and all men mused in their heartes of Iohn, if he were not that Christ,
Thlangkhqi ing amik kawlung na Johan ve Khrih hawh mai hy voei aw? tinawh poek uhy.
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.
Cehlai Johan ing cekkhqi boeih a venawh, “Kai ingtaw tui ing baptisma ni pek khqi nyng. Cehlai kai anglakawh ak bau khqoet thlang law hyn kaw, kai taw anih a khawmyk qui ak suh peek aham naza am kawih nyng.
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.

18 Thus then exhorting with many other things, he preached vnto the people.
Awih chang khawzah ing cekkhqi ce a yn coengawh awithang leek ce kqawn pek khqi hy.
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,
Cehlai ram ukkung boei Herod ing ik-oeih che a saikhqi boeih ingkaw, a na a zu Herodi ce a zunaak a dawngawh, Johan ing ak kaanaak awh,
20 He added yet this aboue all, that he shut vp Iohn in prison.
Herod ing ce mihkhqi boeih ce cun nawh: Johan ce am tu coengawh thawng khuina thla hy.
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:
Cawhce, vemyihna awm hy, thlangkhqi boeih baptisma a mi huh awh, Jesu awm hu lawt hy. Ak cykcah huiawh, khan ce awng qu nawh
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.
