Luke 3
1 NOW in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene:
Kawoy Xibaaryoosi Roome biittan kawotin, tammanne ichchashantho laythan, Phenxe Philaaxoosi Yihuda haariya wode, Heroodisi Galiila haariya wode, iya ishaa Filiphphoosi Ixuuriyasanne Xirakkonddosa haariya wode, Lisaniyoosi Ablaanisa haariya wode,
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness;
Hannaranne Qayyafara kahine halaqa gidi de7ishin, Xoossaa qaalay Zakkariyaasa na7aa Yohaannisakko bazzo biittaa yis.
3 and he came into all the country on the confines of Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Yohaannisi, “Hintte nagaraappe simmitenne xammaqetite. Xoossay hintte nagaraa atto gaana” yaagidi tamaarssishe Yorddaanose Shaafaa heeran de7iya biitta ubbaa bis.
4 as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, saying, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths strait:
Hessika nabey Isayaasi ba maxaafan, “Bazzo giddon ba qaala dhoqqu oothidi, waassiya uraa qaalay, ‘Godaa ogiya giigisite, horogaakka piddi oothite.
5 every valley shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be levelled, and the crooked ways made strait, and the rough roads smooth:
Aafo ubbay kumana, zumaynne dereynne ziqqi gaana. Wobbe ogey luulana, giigonna horogay qinxi gaana.
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Asho ma77ida ubbay, Xoossaa ashuwa be7ana’” gidi xaafidayssada hanis.
7 He said, therefore, to the multitudes who came out to be baptised by him, Ye broods of vipers, who hath warned you to fly from the approaching wrath?
Yohaannisi, ba kushen xammaqettanaw yida asaakko, “Hinttenoo, shoosha nayto yaanaw de7iya hanquwafe attana mela hinttena zoriday oonee?
8 Produce then fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say in yourselves, We have a father, even Abraham; for I say unto you, That God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Hiza, hintte simuwa qonccisiya lo77o ooso oothite, hintte wozanan, ‘Nuus, nu aaway Abrahamey de7ees gidi ceeqettofite.’ Haa si7ite, ha shuchchatappe Xoossay Abrahames na7a kessanaw dandda7ees.
9 But now is the ax laid even to the root of the trees; every tree therefore that produceth not good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire.
Hekko, beexey mithaa xaphon de7ees. Hiza, lo77o ayfe ayfonna mitha ubbay qanxettidi taman yegettana” yaagis.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then shall we do?
Asay, “Yaatin nuuni ay oothinoo?” yaagidi oychchidosona.
11 And he answering said to them, He that hath two coats, let him give to him that hath none; and he that hath provisions, let him do in like manner.
Yohaannisi zaaridi, “Nam77u afili de7iya asi baynnayssas immo. Kathi de7eyssi baynnayssas immo” yaagis.
12 Then came also the farmers of the taxes to be baptised, and they said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
Qaraxa qanxiseyssati xammaqettanaw yidi, “Asttamaariyaw, nuuni ay oothinoo?” yaagidosona.
13 He said unto them, Exact nothing more than is appointed for you.
I zaaridi, “Hintte qanxisanaw kiitettoyssafe aathidi ekkofite” yaagis.
14 And the military men also asked him, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Extort nothing by force; nor turn informers; and be content with your pay.
Qassi wotaaddareti yidi, “Nuuni ay oothinoo” yaagidi oychchidosona. Yohaannisi, “Oodebaakka wolqqan dafidi ekkofite, oonakka worddon mootoppite, hintte damoozey hinttew gido; ufayttidi de7ite” yaagis.
15 Now when the people were in expectation, and many reasoned in their hearts respecting John, whether he were the Messiah,
Asay Kiristtoosa naagishe de7iya gisho, Yohaannisa, “I Kiristtoosa gidanddeshshaa?” gidi qoppidosona.
16 John addressed himself to them all, saying, I indeed baptise you with water; but one mightier than I is coming, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie: he shall baptise you with the Holy Ghost and with fire;
Yohaannisi ubbaas zaaridi, “Taani hinttena haathan xammaqays, shin taappe aadhdhidi wolqqaameyssi yaana. Taani iya caammaa wodoruwa billanaw bessonna asi. I hinttena Geeshsha Ayyaananinne taman xammaqana.
17 whose winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and collect the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
Wudumman de7iya kathaa polo geeshshanaw pithey iya kushen de7ees. Geeshsha kathaa ba shaaliyan qolana; kaliya dhayonna taman xuuggana” yaagis.
18 Thus in many and various discourses exhorting them, he preached the glad tidings of the gospel to the people.
Qassi Yohaannisi asaa daro zore zoridi Wonggelaa odis.
19 Now Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him, on account of Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the other wicked actions which he had done,
Shin Yohaannisi Heroodisi ba ishaa machchiw, Herodiyada, ekkida gishonne haraa iita oosota gisho kaccida wode,
20 added this also to all the rest, and shut up John in prison.
Heroodisi kaseyssa bolla haraba ubbaa gujjidi Yohaannisa woyne gelssis.
21 Now it came to pass, at the time when John was baptising all the people, that Jesus also was baptised, and as he prayed, the heaven was opened,
Yohaannisi qashettanaappe sinthe asaa ubbaa xammaqidi simmin, Yesuusikka qassi xammaqettis. I woossishin saloy dooyettis.
22 and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily form, like a dove, upon him, and a voice came from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.
Geeshsha Ayyaanay holleda benttishe iya bolla uttis. Saloppe “Taani dosiya na7ay nena; ne tana ufayssaasa yaagiya” qaalay yis.
23 And Jesus himself was about thirty years of age when he began his ministry, being (as was supposed the son of Joseph) of Heli,
