< 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:
Leleꞌ naa, Tiberius dadꞌi keser mana toꞌu parendaꞌ sia Roma, too sanahulu lima ena. Pontius Pilatus dadꞌi hofernor sia propensi Yudea. Herodes dadꞌi hofernor sia propensi Galilea. Herodes aꞌan Filipus, dadꞌi hofernor sia propensi Iturea no propensi Trakonitis. Boe ma Lisanias dadꞌi hofernor sia propensi Abilene. Leleꞌ naa Hanas no Kayafas dadꞌi malangga monaeꞌ agama Yahudi sia kota Yerusalem. Leleꞌ naa o, Yohanis, Sakaria anan, leo sia mamana rouꞌ fo naꞌadꞌoꞌ mia kamboꞌ. Sia naa, Lamatuaꞌ fee hara-liin neu e.
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness;
3 and he came into all the country on the confines of Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Yohanis rena nala, ma ana lao nisiꞌ basa kamboꞌ mana deka no loe Yarden, de nafadꞌe atahori ra nae, “Hei musi mitaa ma lao hela basa sala mara, fo Lamatualain fee ambon neu sala-kilu mara naa ra. Hei o musi sarani dei, fo dadꞌi tanda oi, hei malole mo Lamatuaꞌ ena.”
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:
Dalahulun, Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-olan baꞌi Yesaya suraꞌ soꞌal Yohanis nae, “Hambu atahori sia mamana rouꞌ nggasi nae, Basa atahori mihehere tao mitetu dalaꞌ, fo simbo Lamatuaꞌ neneman! Tao mitetu dalaꞌ fo soru E.
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:
Mbori misofe ndola romaꞌ. Poko mitetu leteꞌ ra. Tao mindoo dꞌala penggoꞌ ra, tao mimilenu dꞌala fatu-fatuꞌ ra.
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Naa fo atahori mia basa nusaꞌ ra bisa bubꞌuluꞌ rae, Lamatuaꞌ nae fee atahori rasodꞌa mia sala-kilu nara.’”
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?
Atahori hetar rema mia sudꞌiꞌ a bee fo roꞌe Yohanis sarani se. Te ana bua se nae, “Weh! Hei mana peko-lelekoꞌ! Hei onaꞌ mengge marasoꞌ a! Afiꞌ duꞌa mae hei nenemboꞌit mia Lamatuaꞌ huku-dokin noꞌa lelekoꞌ miloeꞌ tao sala! Hokoꞌ! Nda dooꞌ sa ena, Lamatuaꞌ fee huku-dokiꞌ neu basa atahori nda mana dꞌoaꞌ tao salaꞌ no matetuꞌ sa.
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.
Hei afiꞌ duꞌa mae, ‘Au ia nda hambu huku-dokiꞌ sa, huu au baꞌi Abraham tititi-nonosin.’ Hambu sia bee taꞌo naa? Naa nda tulun hei sa, huu nda bisa tao nggi dadꞌi atahori meumareꞌ sa. Lamatuaꞌ bisa tao fatu ia ra dadꞌi baꞌi Abaraham tititi-nonosin. Au ufadꞌe, e! Mitudꞌu no hei tatao-nonoim mara, mae hei misidꞌea lao hela sala mara, ma tungga baliꞌ neu Lamatuaꞌ ena.
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.
Hei musi tao dꞌala maloleꞌ. Mete ma hokoꞌ, dodꞌoo fa te hei hambu Lamatuaꞌ huku-doki mamberan, onaꞌ atahori ungga hendi hau huuꞌ rendiꞌ taꞌa. Mete ma hau huuꞌ sa nda naꞌena buna-bꞌoa maloleꞌ sa, na, nda ma nggunaꞌ sa! De malole lenaꞌ ungga hendi e, fo tao ai rala neu.”
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then shall we do?
Basa ma, atahori naa ra ratane Yohanis rae, “Dadꞌi hai musi tao sa?”
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.
Boe ma ana nataa nae, “Mete ma miꞌena badꞌu rua, na, fee esa neu atahori nda ma badꞌuꞌ sa. Mete ma miꞌena nanaat, na, banggi fee atahori nda mana naꞌena nanaat sa.”
12 Then came also the farmers of the taxes to be baptised, and they said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
Basa ma, mana edꞌa bea ra rema roꞌe Yohanis sarani se. Ara ratane rae, “Papa meser! Hai musi tao taꞌo bee?”
13 He said unto them, Exact nothing more than is appointed for you.
Ana nataa nae, “Hei akaꞌ peko-lelekoꞌ. Te ia na hei musi ue-tao no ndoo-tetuꞌ. Afi moꞌe bea lenaꞌ-lenaꞌ mia mana parenda ra atoran. Hela rauinggu ra bae bea tungga atoran.”
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.
Hambu soldꞌadꞌu hira o mia naa boe. Ara ratane Yohanis rae, “hai taꞌo bee? Hai musi tao sa?” Basa ma nataa nae, “Afi mia mateꞌ atahori ra doin, tungga hihii mara. Ma afiꞌ fua salaꞌ leli neu atahori. Hei musi mimihoꞌo-mitidꞌale mo nggadꞌi mara.”
15 Now when the people were in expectation, and many reasoned in their hearts respecting John, whether he were the Messiah,
Rena oꞌolan ma, basa atahori ra esa keis esa ma utu-utu rae, “Awee! Mbei ma Yohanis ia, Kristus, fo Lamatuaꞌ helu basa nae haitua nema eniꞌ a dalahulun!”
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;
Te Yohanis ai se nae, “Rena malolole! Dei fo hambu atahori sa manaseliꞌ lena au nae nema. Onaꞌ mae dadꞌiꞌ a dedꞌenun o, au nda undandaa sa. Au sarani hei noꞌ a oe, te dei fo Ana tao lenaꞌ au, Ana tao nasofe rala mara no Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren. Dei fo Ana tao nameu nggi, onaꞌ atahori hotu manggarauꞌ rendiꞌ ai.
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.
Ana huku-doki atahori mana tao salaꞌ ra, onaꞌ atahori mana tao moleꞌ sa nalaidꞌi are-gandum dꞌekeꞌ. Basa ma ana oni are-gandum dꞌeke meuꞌ nisiꞌ soka-poleꞌ rala neu, ma hotu hendi manggenggeoꞌ ra. Onaꞌ naa boe, dei fo Kristus huku-doki atahori mana tao salaꞌ ra, ma nggari se risiꞌ ai mbilaꞌ nda mana mamaꞌetuꞌ a sa.
18 Thus in many and various discourses exhorting them, he preached the glad tidings of the gospel to the people.
No taꞌo naa, Yohanis fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ mata-mataꞌ neu atahori, ma nafadꞌe se Lamatuaꞌ Hara-lii Malolen.
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,
Leleꞌ naa, Yohanis o olaꞌ relo-relo Herodes tataon. Eni salan taꞌo ia: Herodes naa, hofernor sia propensi Galilea. Salan naen seli ena. Salan esa, naeni: Ana lea nala odꞌin saon, naran Herodias. Naa te, odin feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ, ma nda feꞌe mahelaꞌ no Herodias sa. Herodes masodꞌan fo nda matetuꞌ naa sa, tao Yohanis ai e no relo-relo, de Herodes nda hii e sa. Basa ma Herodes toꞌu nala e, de nggari e bui rala neu.
20 added this also to all the rest, and shut up John in prison.
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,
Dalahulun, leleꞌ ara nda feꞌe humu Yohanes sa, ana sarani atahori hetar. Ma Ana o sarani Yesus boe. Basa naa ma Yesus hule-oꞌe ma lalai a sii.
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.
Boe ma Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren onda neu E. Dula-daleꞌ a mata aon onaꞌ mbui lunda. Boe ma haraꞌ mia lalai nae, “Ho ia, Au Ana susue ngga. Ho tao mumuhoꞌo Au mukundooꞌ a.”
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,
Leleꞌ Yesus mulai nafadꞌe atahori Lamatuaꞌ dala masodꞌan, mbeima Ana too telu nulu ena. Atahori rahine rae, Yesus naa, Yusuf Anan. Yusuf bei-baꞌi nara, onaꞌ ia: Yusuf aman, Eli.
