Luke 3
1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of the Emperor Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod ruler of Galilee, his brother Philip ruler of the territory comprising Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias ruler 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 and when Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, a command from God came to John, the son of Zechariah, while he was in the wilderness.
3 And John went through the whole district of the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance, for the forgiveness 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 This was in fulfilment of what is said in the writings of the prophet Isaiah – “The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness: ‘Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
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 chasm will be filled, every mountain and hill will be levelled. The winding ways will be straightened, the rough roads made smooth,
Mbori misofe ndola romaꞌ. Poko mitetu leteꞌ ra. Tao mindoo dꞌala penggoꞌ ra, tao mimilenu dꞌala fatu-fatuꞌ ra.
6 and everyone will 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 And John said to the crowds that went to be baptized by him, ‘You children of snakes! Who has prompted you to seek refuge from the coming judgment?
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 Let your lives, then, prove your repentance; and do not begin to say among yourselves “Abraham is our ancestor,” for I tell you that out of these stones God is able to raise descendants for 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 Already, indeed, the axe is lying at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that fails to bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown 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 ‘What are we to do then?’ the people asked.
Basa ma, atahori naa ra ratane Yohanis rae, “Dadꞌi hai musi tao sa?”
11 ‘Let anyone who has two coats,’ answered John, ‘share with the person who has none; and anyone who has food do the same.’
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 Even tax collectors came to be baptized, and said to John, ‘Teacher, what are we to do?’
Basa ma, mana edꞌa bea ra rema roꞌe Yohanis sarani se. Ara ratane rae, “Papa meser! Hai musi tao taꞌo bee?”
13 ‘Do not collect more than you have authority to demand,’ John answered.
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 when some soldiers on active service asked ‘And we – what are we to do?’ he said, ‘Never use violence, or exact anything by false accusation; 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 Then, while the people were in suspense, and were all debating with themselves whether John could be the Christ,
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, addressing them all, said, ‘I, indeed, baptize you with water; but there is coming one more powerful than I, and I am not fit even to unfasten his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit 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 His winnowing-fan is in his hand so that he may clear his threshing-floor, and store the grain in his barn, but the chaff he will burn with a fire that cannot be put out.’
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 And so with many different appeals John told his good news to the people.
No taꞌo naa, Yohanis fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ mata-mataꞌ neu atahori, ma nafadꞌe se Lamatuaꞌ Hara-lii Malolen.
19 But when John rebuked Herod the ruler, for Herodia his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things that 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 Herod crowned them all by shutting John up in prison.
21 Now after the baptism of all the people, and when Jesus had been baptized and was still praying, the heavens 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 Spirit came down on him in the form of a dove, and from the heavens came a voice – ‘You are my dearly loved son; you bring me great joy.’
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 When beginning his work, Jesus was about thirty years old. He was regarded as the son of Joseph, whose ancestors were – Eli,
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.
