Luke 3
1 Now, in the fifteenth year of the supremacy of Tiberius Caesar, —Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and, Philip his brother, tetrarch of Ituraea and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanius, tetrarch of Abylene, —
Hanchu, Teberius Caesar Rêng chang a kum sômleirangana, Pontius Pilat Judea rama governor ania, Herod Galilee rama ânlal lâiin, A nâipa Philip, Iturea le Trachonitis rama ânlal lâiin, Abilene rama Lysanias ânlal lâia han,
2 in the High-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, came a word of God unto John the son, of Zechariah, in rue desert;
Annas le Caiaphas ngei hah Ochai Inlal annia. Ma zora lâia han ramchâra Zakaria nâipasal John kôma Pathien chong a juong tunga.
3 and he came into all the country about the Jordan, proclaiming an immersion of repentance into remission of sins:
Hanchu, John'n Jordan Tuidung pang revêl ramtina a se titira, “Nin sietnangei renga insîr ungla baptisma chang roi, hanchu Pathien'n nin sietnangei nangni ngâidam a tih” tiin chong a rila.
4 as it is written in the book of the discourses of Isaiah the prophet: A voice of one crying aloud! In the desert, prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight, be making his paths;
Dêipu Isaiah lekhabua miziek anghan: “Ramchâra mi inkhat iniek rôl han, Pumapa lampui sin ungla, a lôna rang, A lampuingei mintûn roi.
5 Every chasm, shall be filled up, and, every mountain and hill, be made low; and the, crooked, places shall become, straight, and the, rugged, places, smooth ways; —
Vakuong tin minsip nîng ata, Muol, tang tin mincham nîng atih, Lampui akôi ngei mintûn nîng ata, Lampui anthir ngei minnâm nîng atih.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Hanchu mitinin Pathien sanmingringna mûng an tih.”
7 He was saying, therefore, unto the multitudes who were going forth to be immersed by him—Broods of vipers! who suggested to you, to flee from the coming wrath?
Hanchu, John kôm baptis chang rangin mipuingei an honga, an kôm, “Murûlngei o!” “Pathien dûk juong mintung rang renga jôk rangin tumo nangni ril?
8 Bring forth, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to be saying within yourselves, As our father, we have, Abraham; for, I say unto you—God is able, out of these stones, to raise up children unto Abraham.
Nin sietnangei nin insîr tatak iti nin nunchana minlang roi, Ei richibul Abraham kêng aninga ti khâi no roi, Pathien'n hi lungngei khom hih Abraham richisuonpârngei a minchang thei.
9 And, already, even the axe, unto the root of the trees is being laid; every tree, therefore, not bringing forth [good] fruit, is to be hewn down, and, into fire, to be cast.
Thingkung tin aruzung idêna phûr rangin reipui a om chit ani zoi. Thingkung tin mara sa ânra loi nâm chu phûrpaia meia pai nîng atih,” a tia.
10 And the multitude began to question him saying—What, then, shall we do?
Mipuingei han, “Hanchu, Imo kin tho rang ani zoi,” an tia.
11 And, answering, he said unto them—He that hath two tunics, let him share with him that hath none, and, he that hath food, in like manner, let him be doing.
Ama'n a thuona, “Kâncholi abop a dônngeiin a dônloingei sem ungla, sâkruo a dônngeiin a dônloingei sem ngei roi” a tia.
12 And there came, even tax-collectors, to be immersed; and they said unto him—Teacher! what, shall we, do?
Sum rusuongpungei senkhat baptisma chang rangin an honga, a kôma, “Minchupu, imo kin tho rang?” an tia.
13 And, he, said unto them, Nothing more than what is appointed you, exact ye.
“Balam pêna chu rusuong no roi” a tia.
14 Then were questioning him, soldiers also, saying—What shall, even we, do? And he said unto them—Molest ye, no one, neither accuse falsely; and be content with your supplies.
Râlmingei khom an honga a kôm, “Keinite imo kin tho rang?” an tia. An kôma, “Tute sum rangrâtin lâk no ungla, dikloiin mi nôn no ungla, nin loa han nin mulung minchuk roi,” a tia.
15 Now, as the people were in expectation, and all were deliberating in their hearts, concerning John, —whether by any means, he, might be, the Christ,
Mipuingeiin John chungroia sabeina neiin, Messiah ai ni duoi mini tiin an mindona.
16 John answered, saying unto all—I, indeed, in water, am immersing you, but he that is mightier than I, cometh, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose, —he, will immerse you in Holy Spirit and fire:
Hanchu, John'n, “Keiman chu tuiin nangni ka baptis ngâia, keima nêka roiinpui uol mi a juong ani. Keima chu a kekok sût rang luon inhoi mu-ung. Ama han Ratha Inthieng le meiin nangni baptis a tih,” a tipe ngeia.
17 whose fan is in his hand, to clear out his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his granary; but, the chaff, will he burn up with fire unquenchable.
“A jâpna rang relei a chôia, jâp a ta, butak hah sapanga thun a ta, arishi kai chu mei thi ngâiloia hâl minmang a tih,” a tia.
18 So then indeed, as to many things and various, he exhorted, and continued telling his glad-message unto the people.
An om lam thûlna rang mohôknân lam tamtakin thurchi Sa a ril ngeia.
19 But, Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother, and concerning all the wicked things Herod had done,
Herod'n neinun tamtak saloi a tho pênah, a nâipa Philip lômnu Herodias lômnua a nei sikin John'n a ngoa.
20 added this also unto all, —he locked up John in prison.
Ma nêka saloi uol thôn, Herod'n, John hah intâng ina a khum zoi.
21 Now it came to pass, when one and all the people were immersed, Jesus also, having been immersed, and being at prayer, heaven was opened;
Hanchu mipui murdi baptisma an chang zoiin, Jisua khom baptisma a changa. Chubai a tho lâitakin, invân ân onga.
22 and the Holy Spirit descended, in bodily appearance, as a dove, upon him, —and, a voice out of heaven, came—Thou, art my Son, the Beloved, in thee, I delight.
Pharvali angin, Ratha Inthieng a chunga a juongchuma, Invân renga chong ajuon ringa, “Ka nâipasal moroitak ni ni, na chunga ku mulung arâisân ok,” a tia.
23 And, Jesus himself, was, when he began, about thirty years of age, being the son, as was supposed—of Joseph, of Heli:
