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:
Loma yaaba badiciamo Tibeli Sesa bali piiga n binmuuli binli, Ponisa Pilata den tie Jude diema gufeneeli, Elodo den die Galile diema, O waalo Filipi n ya die Itule leni Takonita diema, Lisaniasa mo n ya die Abilena diema.
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness;
Hana leni Kayifa den taani ki tie bi kopadicianba badiba. Laa binli Sakali bijua Jan den ye mi fanpienma nni, ke U Tienu den maadi leni o.
3 and he came into all the country on the confines of Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Lane o den caa ya dogi n baali Judana ki wangi bi niba ke ban biidi bi pala bi tuonbiadi po ki lebidi bi yama wan batisi ba ban baa bi tuonbiadi sugili.
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:
Nani lan diani maama o sawalipualo Esayi tili nni: O nilo Kpaani mi fanpienma nni ki tua: Yin bogini mani o Diedo sanu, ki naadi mani o sani.
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:
Bi baa gbieni ti joaloandi kuli, ki jiini joacianli leni joabiga kuli ki dagini, ki naadi a sangoana, ki piini ti sanbuodi.
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Nisaalo kuli baa la U Tienu faabima.
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?
A nigola den kpendi Jan kani ke wan batisiba. O den maadi ba ki tua: “Yinba u waalabibuolu na, ŋme fandi yi yin sani ki ciadi U Tienu pabienli yaali n baa cua na?
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.
Yin ya tuuni mani ya tuona n doagidi ke yi lebidi yi yama. Yin da tua yi pala nni: 'Ti pia Abalahama ke o tie ti yaaja.' N waani yi ke U Tienu baa fidi ki teni ya tama n tie na n tua Abalahama puoliŋuani.
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.
Baa moala bi caani li yali i tijiini po. Ya tibu n ki luoni ya bonluonkaala n ŋani kuli, bi baa pedibu ki lu mi fantama nni.”
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then shall we do?
A nigola den buali o ki tua: “Ti nan baa tieni lede?”
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.
O den goa yedi ba: “Yua n pia liada lie, wan boagidi leni yua n ki pia, yua n pia mi jiema moko n tieni yeni.”
12 Then came also the farmers of the taxes to be baptised, and they said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
Bi lubigaaba moko den cua ke wan batisi ba, ki yedi o: “Canbaa, ti baa tieni lede?”
13 He said unto them, Exact nothing more than is appointed for you.
O den goa yedi ba: “Yin da ga li lubili ki cie ban bili maama.”
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.
A minteela moko den buali o: “Ti mo baa tieni lede?” O den yedi ba: “Da tieni mani bi niba u paalu, ki da gaani suuli ki kuli oba. Yin mangi mani yi pala leni yi ŋmapani.”
15 Now when the people were in expectation, and many reasoned in their hearts respecting John, whether he were the Messiah,
Bi niba den gu ki sugini U Tienu n gandi yua cuama. Bi kuli den buali bi yula Jan ya tie U Tienu n gandi yua.
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;
O den yedi bi kuli: “Mini n batisi yi leni mi ñima, ama yua n pia u paalu ki cie nni baa cua, mii pundi baa yua n baa loti o cacaabaabu. Wani, o baa batisi yi leni U Tienu Fuoma Yua, leni mi fantama.
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.
O kubi o kaaligu o nuu nni, o baa ŋanbi o jalu cain, ki lendi ki tigi ki wodi ki kuodi o buali nni ki nan sia mi fenma nni ya fantama n kaa pia gbindima.”
18 Thus in many and various discourses exhorting them, he preached the glad tidings of the gospel to the people.
Jan wangi bi niba o laabaaliŋamo ki go tundi ba tunditoe boncianla.
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,
Ama wan den funi leni Elodo yua n die Galile kelima o waalo pua Elodiasa po leni wan tieni ya tuonbiadi kuli po,
20 added this also to all the rest, and shut up John in prison.
Elodo go den pugini laa tuonbiadi kuli po tuonbiatoadi, ki luoni Jan li kadidieli nni.
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,
Bi niba kuli den kpendi ke Jan batisi ba, o den batisi Jesu moko. Jesu n den jaandi ya yogunu, tanpoli den luodi
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.
ke U Tienu Fuoma Yua ñani lipo ke o nannanli naani leni ki kpaajiega ki jiidi ki jagini Jesu po. Bi den gbadi u nialu ke u maadi ŋali tanpoli po ki yedi: “A tie n Bijabuadiga n pali mani apo ŋali boncianla.”
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,
