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,
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 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.
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 John went through the whole district of the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance, for the forgiveness 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 This was in fulfillment 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.
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 chasm will be filled, every mountain and hill will be leveled. The winding ways will be straightened, the rough roads made 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 everyone will see the salvation of God.”’
Nisaalo kuli baa la U Tienu faabima.
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?
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 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!
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 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.”
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 “What are we to do then?” the people asked.
A nigola den buali o ki tua: “Ti nan baa tieni lede?”
11 “Let anyone who has two coats,” answered John, “share with the person who has none; and anyone who has food do the same.”
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 Even tax collectors came to be baptized, and said to John, “Teacher, what are we to do?”
Bi lubigaaba moko den cua ke wan batisi ba, ki yedi o: “Canbaa, ti baa tieni lede?”
13 “Do not collect more than you have authority to demand,” John answered.
O den goa yedi ba: “Yin da ga li lubili ki cie ban bili maama.”
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.”
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 Then, while the people were in suspense, and were all debating with themselves whether John could be the Christ,
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, 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.
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 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.”
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 And so with many different appeals John told his good news to the people.
Jan wangi bi niba o laabaaliŋamo ki go tundi ba tunditoe boncianla.
19 But when John rebuked Herod the ruler, for Herodia his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things that 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 Herod crowned them all by shutting John up in prison.
Elodo go den pugini laa tuonbiadi kuli po tuonbiatoadi, ki luoni Jan li kadidieli nni.
21 Now after the baptism of all the people, and when Jesus had been baptized and was still praying, the heavens 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 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.”
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 When beginning his work, Jesus was about thirty years old. He was regarded as the son of Joseph, whose ancestors were – Eli,
