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,
Na i te tekau ma rima o nga tau o te rangatiratanga o Taipiria Hiha, i a Ponotia Pirato e kawana ana i Huria, i a Herora e tetaraki ana i Kariri, i tona teina hoki, i a Piripi, e tetaraki ana i Ituria, i te whenua hoki o Tarakonaiti, ko Raihania e tetaraki ana i Apirini,
2 (When Annas and Caiaphas were the hie Priestes) the worde of God came vnto Iohn, the sonne of Zacharias in the wildernes.
Ko Anaha raua ko Kaiapa nga tohunga nui, ka puta te kupu a te Atua ki a Hoani tama a Hakaraia ki te koraha.
3 And hee came into all the coastes about Iordan, preaching the baptisme of repentance for the remission of sinnes,
Na ka haere mai ia ki nga wahi katoa e patata ana ki Horano, ka kauwhau i te iriiri ripeneta hei murunga hara;
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.
I pera ano ia me te mea i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga korero a Ihaia poropiti, He reo no tetahi i te koraha e karanga ana, Whakapaia te huarahi o te Ariki, whakatikaia ona ara;
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.
Ka whakakiia nga awaawa katoa, ka whakahoroa nga maunga me nga pukepuke katoa; e meinga hoki kia tika nga wahi kopikopiko, ko nga wahi taratara hei ara maeneene.
6 And all flesh shall see the saluation of God.
A e kite nga kikokiko katoa i te whakaoranga a te Atua.
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?
Na reira ka mea ia ki nga mano i haere kia iriiria e ia, E te uri nakahi, na wai koutou i whakamahara kia rere i te riri meake puta mai?
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.
Na whakaputaina nga hua e rite ana ki o te ripeneta; kei anga kei mea i roto i a koutou, Ko Aperahama to tatou matua: ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, E ahei ana ano i te Atua te whakaara tamariki ake ma Aperahama i roto i enei kohatu.
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.
Na inaianei ano kei te pa te toki ki te pakiaka o nga rakau: ki te kahore tetahi rakau e hua i te hua pai, ka tuaina, ka maka ki te ahi.
10 Then the people asked him, saying, What shall we doe then?
Na ka ui nga mano ki a ia, ka mea, Me aha ra matou?
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.
Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te tangata i nga koti e rua, kia hoatu ki te tangata kahore ona; me te tangata he kai tana, kia pera ano.
12 Then came there Publicanes also to bee baptized, and saide vnto him, Master, what shall we doe?
Na ka haere mai hoki nga pupirikana kia iriiria, ka mea ki a ia, E te kaiwhakaako, me aha matou?
13 And hee saide vnto them, Require no more then that which is appointed vnto you.
Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kei nui ake i nga mea i whakaritea ma koutou ta koutou e tango ai.
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.
Ka ui ano hoki nga hoia ki a ia, ka mea, Me aha hoki matou? Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, Kaua e tukinotia tetahi, kaua e muru noa i tetahi mea; kati ano ma koutou ko o koutou utu.
15 As the people waited, and all men mused in their heartes of Iohn, if he were not that Christ,
Na, i te iwi e tatari ana e whakaaroaro katoa ana i roto i o ratou ngakau ki a Hoani, mehemea ko te Karaiti ia;
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.
Ka whakahoki a Hoani, ka mea ki a ratou katoa, Ko ahau nei, he iriiri taku i a koutou ki te wai; kei te haere mai ia tetahi he kaha rawa ake i ahau, e kore ahau e tau hei wewete i te here o ona hu: mana koutou e iriiri ki te Wairua Tapu, ki te k apura.
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.
Ko tana mea tahi kei tona ringa, hei tino tahi i tana patunga witi, hei kohi hoki i te witi ki roto ki tana whare witi: ko te papapa ia e tahuna ki te kapura e kore e tineia.
18 Thus then exhorting with many other things, he preached vnto the people.
He maha atu ano ana kupu whakahau i kauwhau ai ia i te rongopai ki te iwi.
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,
Otira, na tona riringa i a Herora tetaraki mo Heroriaha, mo te wahine a tona tuakana, a Piripi, a mo nga kino katoa hoki i meinga e Herora;
20 He added yet this aboue all, that he shut vp Iohn in prison.
Ka apititia atu e Herora tenei ki runga i era katoa, tutakina ana e ia a Hoani ki te whare herehere.
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:
Na, ka poto katoa te iwi te iriiri, i a Ihu kua oti te iriiri, a i a ia e inoi ana, ka tuwhera te rangi,
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.
A ka heke iho te Wairua Tapu, ka heke tinana iho, ano he kukupa, ki runga ki a ia, a ka puta mai he reo no te rangi, e mea ana, Ko koe taku Tama i aroha ai, taku i ahuareka ai.
