Luke 3
1 When the Emperor Tiberius had been ruling [the Roman Empire] for 15 years, and while Pontius Pilate was the governor of Judea [district], and Herod [Antipas] was ruling Galilee [district], and his brother Philip was ruling Iturea and Trachonitis [districts], and Lysanius was ruling Abilene [district],
Y mina quinse na año gui tiempo anae si Tiberio Sesat jagobietna, ya si Ponsio Pilato, güiya magalaje guiya Judea; ya si Herodes, güiya magalaje tetrarca guiya Galilea; ya y cheluña as Felipe, güiya magalaje tetrarca guiya Iturea yan y ya tanon Traconite; ya si Lisanias, güiya magalaje tetrarca guiya Abilinia;
2 and while Annas and Caiaphas were the high priests [in Jerusalem], God gave messages to Zechariah’s son John while he was living in the desolate region.
Ya y dangculo na mamale si Annas yan si Caefas, este na tiempo, mato y sinangan Yuus gui as Juan, lajin Sacharias, gui jalomtano.
3 [So] John went all over the area close to the Jordan [River]. He kept telling people, “If you want [God] to forgive you for your sins, you must (repent/turn away from your sinful behavior) [before you ask me] to baptize [you]!”
Ya güiya mato gui todo y tano gui oriyan Jordan, jasesetmon y managpang en sinetsot para y maasiin isao.
4 John was the one who [fulfilled] these words that had [been written] by the prophet Isaiah {that the prophet Isaiah had written} on a scroll [long ago]: In a desolate area, someone [SYN] will be heard shouting [to the people who pass by], “Prepare yourselves [to receive] the Lord when he comes! [Make yourselves ready so that you will be prepared when he comes], [just like people] straighten out the road [MET] [for an important official] [MET, DOU]!
Taegüije esta matugue gui leblo ni y sinangan y profeta Isaias, na ilegña: Inagangña ni y umaagang gui jalomtano: Famauleg y chalan y Señot, y cayejonña natutunas.
5 [Just like people] level off all the places where the land rises and [just like they] fill all the ravines, and [just like people] make the road straight wherever it is crooked, and [just like people] make smooth the bumps in the road, [similarly you need to remove all the obstacles which prevent God from blessing you]!
Todo y finacañada umanafanbula, yan todo y tano boca yan y manloca na ogso umanafanagpapa; yan y manechong umanafanunas, yan y chalan farangca unamafanyano.
6 Then people [SYN] everywhere will understand how God can save [MTY] [people].”
Ya todo y catne ulie y satbasion Yuus.
7 Although large groups of people came to John to be baptized {in order that he would baptize them}, [he knew that many of them were not sincere]. So he kept saying to them, “You [people are evil] [MET] [like] poisonous snakes! [I] warn you that [God] will some day punish [MTY] [everyone] who sins. And (do not think that you can escape [from his punishing] [MTY] [you if you do not turn from your sinful behavior!/did someone tell you] that you can escape [from his punishing] [MTY] [you if you do not turn from your sinful behavior]?) [RHQ] (OR, Who told you that you could escape [God’s punishment?])
Enaomina ilegña ni y linajyan taotao na manmato para ufanmatagpange pot güiya: Rasan culebla, jaye jamyo fumanagüe na insuaye y binibo ni y mamamaela?
8 Do what is appropriate for people who have truly turned from their sinful behavior! [God promised to give Abraham many] descendants. In order to fulfill that promise, God does not need you! I tell you that he can change these stones to make them descendants of Abraham! So do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We [(exc)] are descendants of Abraham, [so God will not punish us, even though we have] sinned!’
Chile tinegchanmiyo ni y magajet na sinetsot, ya chamiyo insigue di sumasangan nu jamyoja: Guaja tatanmame si Abraham; sa jusanganejamyo na siña, si Yuus güine gui acho janafangajulo y famaguon Abraham.
9 [God is ready to punish you if you do not turn away from your sinful behavior, just like a man] [MET] lays his axe at the roots [of a fruit] tree [to chop it down and throw it into the fire if it does not produce good fruit] [MET].”
Ya pagoja y gachae gaegueja gui jale y trongcon jayo sija: todo y trongcon jayo na ti mauleg tinegchañija, umautut ya umayute gui guafe.
10 [Then] various ones in the crowd asked John, “What shall we [(exc)] do [to escape God punishing us] (OR), [to show that we have repented]?”
Ya y linajyan taotao mafaesen güe ya ilegñija: Pues jafajam infatinas?
11 He answered them, “If any of you has two shirts, you should give one of them to someone who has no shirt. If any of you has [plenty of] food, you should give some to those who have no food.”
Ya manope, ilegña nu sija: Y guaja dos magaguña, unae y taya iyoña: ya y guaja naña ufatinas taegüijija.
12 [Some] tax collectors came [and asked] to be baptized ([asked him] to baptize them}. They asked him, “Teacher, what shall we [(exc)] do [to please God]?”
Ya manmato locue y publicano sija para ufanmatatagpange, ya ilegñija: Maestro jafa infatinasjam?
13 He said to them, “Do not take from the people any more money than [the Roman government] tells you to take!”
Ya ilegña nu sija: Chamiyo gumagagao mas ni y esta jamyo manmatago.
14 Some soldiers asked him, “What about us? What should we [(exc)] do [to please God]?” He said to them, “Do not [say to anyone], ‘[If you(sg) do not give me] some money, I will hurt you,’ and do not take [people to court and] falsely accuse them of doing something wrong! And be content with your wages.”
Ya mafaesen güe locue nu y sendalo sija, ilegñija: Ya jame, jafajam infatinas? Ya mansinangane: Chamiyo mumatratrata ni jaye ni infanmanchiguit, ya magof jamyo nu y apasmiyo.
15 People were expecting [that the Messiah would come soon]. Because of that, many of them wondered about John. [Some of them asked him] if he was the Messiah.
Ya y taotao sija jananangga ya manmanjajajaso todo sija as Juan gui corasonñija, cao güiya si Jesucristo.
16 John replied to them all, “No, [I am not]. I used [only] water when I baptized you. But [the Messiah] will soon come! He is far greater than I am. [He is so great that] I am not worthy to [be like his slave and] untie his sandals [MET] [like] a slave would do! He will put [his] Holy Spirit within [MTY] you [to truly change your lives], and [he will judge others of you and punish you in] the fire [MET] [in hell]. (questioned)
Manope si Juan ya ilegña nu todosija: Guajo magajet managpapange jamyo an janom; lao mamamaela uno na mas gaeninasiña qui guajo, ya ti siña yo manmerese na jupula y coreas y sapatosña: güiya managpapange an Espiritu Santo yan guafe.
17 He [is like a man] [MET] [who wants to] clear away the grain on the ground where it has been threshed {they have threshed it}. That man [uses] a huge fork [to throw the grain into the air] to separate the wheat from the chaff [MET], and then he cleans up the threshing area. [Similarly, God] will [separate righteous people from the evil people, like a man who] gathers the wheat into his storage area, and then he will burn [those who are like] chaff with a fire (that will never be put out/that will burn forever).”
Ya abanicuña gaegueja gui canaeña para unagasgas y guinecoña, ya janafandaña y trigo gui camalenña; lao usonggue y ngasan gui guafe ni ti siña upuno.
18 John kept telling people many things to urge them [to turn to God], as he told them the good message [from God].
Ya mamagat megae na sinangan ya japredica y taotao sija ni ibangelio.
19 He also rebuked [the ruler of the district], Herod [Antipas. He rebuked him] for [marrying] Herodias, his brother’s wife, [while his brother was still alive], and for doing many other evil things.
Lao si Herodes, ayo magalaje tetrarca, linalatde as Juan, pot si Herodias, asaguan y cheluña as Felipe, yan pot todo y tinaelaye sija ni jafatinas si Herodes,
20 But Herod [had his soldiers] put John in prison. That was another evil thing he did.
Ya jafatinas este mas taelaye qui todo, ya maponggle si Juan gui catset.
21 [But before John was put in prison], when many people were being baptized {when he was baptizing many people}, after Jesus was baptized {he baptized Jesus} and Jesus was praying, the sky opened.
Ya susede, anae todo y taotao manmatagpange, si Jesus locue matagpange; ya anae manaetaegüe, mababa y langet;
22 Then the Holy Spirit, resembling a dove, descended upon [Jesus]. And [God] [SYN/EUP] spoke to Jesus from heaven, saying, “You [(sg)] are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you!”
Ya tumunog gui jiloña y Espiritu Santo na gaejechuraña calang paluma, ya mato un inagang guine y langet na ilegña: Jago y lajijo ni juguaeya; iyajago nae gaegue minagofjo.
