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,
Pea ʻi hono hongofulu ma nima ʻoe taʻu ʻoe pule ʻa Taipiliusi Sisa, ko e ʻeiki pule ʻa Ponito Pailato ʻi Siutea, pea tuʻi ai ʻa Helota ʻi Kāleli, pea tuʻi ʻa hono tokoua ko Filipe ʻi ʻAitulia mo e feituʻu ʻo Tilakonite, pea tuʻi ʻa Lisaniasi ʻi ʻApiline,
2 (When Annas and Caiaphas were the hie Priestes) the worde of God came vnto Iohn, the sonne of Zacharias in the wildernes.
Pea ko ʻAnasi mo Kaiafasi ko e ongo taulaʻeiki lahi ʻakinaua, naʻe hoko ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia Sione ko e foha ʻo Sakalaia ʻi he toafa.
3 And hee came into all the coastes about Iordan, preaching the baptisme of repentance for the remission of sinnes,
Pea haʻu ia ki he potu fonua kotoa pē ʻo ofi ki Sioatani, ʻo ne malangaʻaki ʻae papitaiso ʻoe fakatomala ki he fakamolemole ʻoe angahala:
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.
ʻO hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ʻae ngaahi lea ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e leʻo ʻoe tokotaha ʻoku kalanga ʻi he toafa, ‘Mou teuteu ʻae hala ʻo Sihova, pea fakatonutonu hono ʻaluʻanga.
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.
ʻE tanu ʻae luo kotoa pē, ʻE holoki hifo ʻae moʻunga mo e tafungofunga kotoa pē; Pea ʻe fakatotonu ʻae pikopiko, Pea ʻe fakatokalelei ʻae ngaahi hala ʻoku tokatāmaki;
6 And all flesh shall see the saluation of God.
Pea ʻe mamata ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki he fakamoʻui ʻae ʻOtua.’”
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?
Pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki he kakai kuo ʻalu ange ke nau papitaiso ʻiate ia, “ʻAe fānau ʻae ngata fekai, Ko hai ne ne valoki ʻakimoutolu ke mou puna mei he houhau ʻe haʻu?
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.
Ko ia mou fakahā ʻae ngaahi fua ʻoku ngali mo e fakatomala, pea ʻoua naʻa lau leva ʻi homou loto, ‘ʻOku mau tamai ʻaki ʻa ʻEpalahame:’ he ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku faʻa fai ʻe he ʻOtua ke fakatupu ʻi he ngaahi maka ni ʻae fānau kia ʻEpalahame.
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.
Pea ko eni foki, kuo tuku ʻae toki ki he tefito ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau: pea ko ia, ka ʻilonga ʻae ʻakau ʻoku ʻikai tupu ai ʻae fua lelei ʻe tā hifo [ia], ʻo laku ki he afi.”
10 Then the people asked him, saying, What shall we doe then?
Pea fehuʻi ʻae kakai kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā nai te mau fai?”
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.
Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ʻoku maʻu ʻae kofutuʻa ʻe ua, ke ne foaki kiate ia ʻoku ʻikai maʻu; pea ko ia ʻoku maʻu ʻae meʻa kai, ke fai pehē [foki].”
12 Then came there Publicanes also to bee baptized, and saide vnto him, Master, what shall we doe?
Pea haʻu foki ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau ke papitaiso, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ko e hā te mau fai?”
13 And hee saide vnto them, Require no more then that which is appointed vnto you.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua naʻa mou maʻu ʻo lahi ʻi he meʻa kuo tuʻutuʻuni maʻamoutolu.”
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.
Pea fehuʻi foki ʻe he kau tau kiate ia, ʻo pehē; “Pea ko e hā te mau fai?” Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua naʻa fai fakamālohi ki ha taha, pea ʻoua naʻa lohiakiʻi; pea mou fiemālie ʻi hoʻomou totongi.”
15 As the people waited, and all men mused in their heartes of Iohn, if he were not that Christ,
Pea naʻe lolotonga ʻae ʻamanaki ʻae kakai, mo nau fifili kotoa pē ʻi honau loto kia Sione, pe ko e Kalaisi ia pe ʻikai;
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.
Pea lea ʻa Sione, ʻo ne pehēange kiate kinautolu kotoa pē, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou papitaiso ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae vai; ka ʻoku haʻu ʻae tokotaha ʻoku mālohi ʻiate au, pea ʻoku ʻikai taau mo au ke u vete ʻae nonoʻo ʻo hono topuvaʻe: pea ʻe papitaiso ʻaki ʻe ia ʻakimoutolu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni mo e afi:
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.
ʻOku ʻi hono nima ʻa hono fohe, pea te ne fakamaʻa ʻaupito hono hahaʻanga, pea ʻe ia ʻae kafukafu ʻaki ʻae afi taʻemate.”
18 Thus then exhorting with many other things, he preached vnto the people.
Pea lahi ʻae meʻa kehekehe naʻa ne malangaʻaki ʻi heʻene enginaki ki he kakai.
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,
Ka naʻe valoki ʻe ia ʻa Helota ko e tuʻi, koeʻuhi ko Helotiasi ko e uaifi ʻo hono tokoua ko Filipe, pea mo e kovi kotoa pē ne fai ʻe Helota.
20 He added yet this aboue all, that he shut vp Iohn in prison.
Pea ne fakalahi ʻaki ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē, ʻa ʻene fakahū ʻa Sione ki he fale fakapōpula.
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:
Pea kuo papitaiso ʻae kakai kotoa pē, pea pehē, ne papitaiso foki mo Sisu, pea ʻi heʻene lotu, ne matoʻo ʻae langi,
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.
Pea maliu hifo ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate ia ʻo hangē ko e sino ʻoe lupe, pea hoko mai mo e leʻo mei he langi, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoku ʻAlo ʻofaʻanga koe; ʻoku ou fiemālie lahi ʻiate koe.”
23 And Iesus himselfe began to bee about thirtie yeere of age, being as men supposed the sonne of Ioseph, which was the sonne of Eli,
