Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
| ܒܫܢܬ ܚܡܫܥܤܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܛܝܒܪܝܘܤ ܩܤܪ ܒܗܓܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܦܢܛܝܘܤ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܒܝܗܘܕ ܟܕ ܪܫܐ ܪܒܝܥܝܐ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܒܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܪܫܐ ܪܒܝܥܝܐ ܒܐܝܛܘܪܝܐ ܘܒܐܬܪܐ ܕܛܪܟܘܢܐ ܘܠܘܤܢܝܐ ܪܫܐ ܪܒܝܥܝܐ ܕܐܒܝܠܝܢܐ |
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of YHWH came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
| ܒܪܒܘܬ ܟܗܢܘܬܐ ܕܚܢܢ ܘܕܩܝܦܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܥܠ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܒܪ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܒܚܘܪܒܐ |
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
| ܘܐܬܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܬܪܐ ܕܚܕܪܝ ܝܘܪܕܢܢ ܟܕ ܡܟܪܙ ܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܬܝܒܘܬܐ ܠܫܘܒܩܢܐ ܕܚܛܗܐ |
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of YHWH, make his paths straight.
| ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܕܡܠܐ ܕܐܫܥܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܩܠܐ ܕܩܪܐ ܒܚܘܪܒܐ ܛܝܒܘ ܐܘܪܚܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܬܪܘܨܘ ܒܦܩܥܬܐ ܫܒܝܠܐ ܠܐܠܗܢ |
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
| ܟܠܗܘܢ ܢܚܠܐ ܢܬܡܠܘܢ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܛܘܪܐ ܘܪܡܬܐ ܢܬܡܟܟܘܢ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܥܪܡܐ ܠܫܦܝܐ ܘܐܬܪܐ ܥܤܩܐ ܠܦܩܥܬܐ |
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of YHWH.
| ܘܢܚܙܐ ܟܠ ܒܤܪ ܚܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ |
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
| ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܠܡܥܡܕ ܝܠܕܐ ܕܐܟܕܢܐ ܡܢܘ ܚܘܝܟܘܢ ܠܡܥܪܩ ܡܢ ܪܘܓܙܐ ܕܥܬܝܕ |
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That YHWH is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
| ܥܒܕܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܦܐܪܐ ܕܫܘܝܢ ܠܬܝܒܘܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܪܘܢ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܒܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܕܐܒܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܡܩܡܘ ܒܢܝܐ ܠܐܒܪܗܡ |
9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
| ܗܐ ܕܝܢ ܢܪܓܐ ܤܝܡ ܥܠ ܥܩܪܐ ܕܐܝܠܢܐ ܟܠ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܦܐܪܐ ܛܒܐ ܠܐ ܥܒܕ ܡܬܦܤܩ ܘܒܢܘܪܐ ܢܦܠ |
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
| ܘܡܫܐܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܢܥܒܕ |
11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
| ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܟܘܬܝܢܝܢ ܢܬܠ ܠܡܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܘܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܤܝܒܪܬܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܥܒܕ |
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
| ܘܐܬܘ ܐܦ ܡܟܤܐ ܠܡܥܡܕ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܡܢܐ ܢܥܒܕ |
13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܬܒܥܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܝܬܝܪ ܥܠ ܡܐ ܕܦܩܝܕ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܡܬܒܥ |
14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
| ܘܡܫܐܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܦܠܚܝ ܐܤܛܪܛܝܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܢܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܒܐܢܫ ܬܬܛܓܪܘܢ ܘܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܬܥܫܩܘܢ ܘܢܤܦܩܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܦܤܘܢܝܬܟܘܢ |
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Messiah, or not;
| ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܡܤܒܪ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܐ ܥܠ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܕܕܠܡܐ ܗܘܝܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ |
16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire:
| ܥܢܐ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܗܐ ܡܥܡܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܡܝܐ ܐܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܘ ܕܚܝܠܬܢ ܡܢܝ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܫܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܫܪܐ ܥܪܩܐ ܕܡܤܢܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܢܥܡܕܟܘܢ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܒܢܘܪܐ |
17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
| ܗܘ ܕܐܚܝܕ ܪܦܫܐ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܘܡܕܟܐ ܐܕܪܘܗܝ ܘܚܛܐ ܟܢܫ ܠܐܘܨܪܘܗܝ ܘܬܒܢܐ ܢܘܩܕ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܕܥܟܐ |
18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
| ܐܦ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܤܒܪ ܠܥܡܐ |
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
| ܗܪܘܕܤ ܕܝܢ ܛܛܪܪܟܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܬܟܤܤ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܥܠ ܗܪܘܕܝܐ ܐܢܬܬ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܘܥܠ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܗܘܐ |
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
| ܐܘܤܦ ܐܦ ܗܕܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܘܚܒܫܗ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ |
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Yahushua also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
| ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܥܡܕ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܘܐܦ ܝܫܘܥ ܥܡܕ ܘܟܕ ܡܨܠܐ ܐܬܦܬܚܘ ܫܡܝܐ |
22 And the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
| ܘܢܚܬܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܒܕܡܘܬ ܓܘܫܡܐ ܕܝܘܢܐ ܘܩܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܒܪܝ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܕܒܟ ܐܨܛܒܝܬ |
23 And Yahushua himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܒܪ ܫܢܝܢ ܬܠܬܝܢ ܘܡܤܬܒܪ ܗܘܐ ܒܪ ܝܘܤܦ ܒܪ ܗܠܝ |
