< Luke 3 >

1 And in the fifteenth year of the government of Tiberius Caesar — Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother, tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene —
Luungwanglong Teberius ih asih paang banga phansiit adi; Pontius Pilat ah Judia ni Kobono angta, Hirod ah Galili phansiitte angta, heh no Philip ah langla Ituria nyia Trakonite phansiitte angta; Lisania ah Abilini hadaang phansiitte angta,
2 Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests — there came a word of God unto John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness,
eno Annas nyia Kaiphas ah romwah phokhothoon ang nyuuta. Erah tokdi phisaang hah ni Jekaria sah Joon suh Rangte ih jengkhaap baatta.
3 and he came to all the region round the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of reformation — to remission of sins,
Eno Joon ih Jordaan Juungko ni Rangte tiit ah tumbaat kaatta, “Sen rangdah nawa ngaak hanno juungtem an, eno ba Rangte ih sen rangdah ah biin anaan han.”
4 as it hath been written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, 'A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye His paths;
Erah ah khowah Isaia leedap ni raangthiin cho angta: “Mih phisaang hah ni riingla; ‘Teesu raang ih lam ban hoon thiin an; Heh khoomtheng lamjun ih tan an!
5 every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straightness, and the rough become smooth ways;
Hoongbeng haleng loong ah ebook et ah, kong akaan loong ah hoongthung hane ih hoon ah. lam koongkot loong ah lamjun ih hoon ah, lamthih loong ah lamse ih hoon ah.
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'
Rangte jiin nawa khopiiroidong ah warep ih tup ah!”
7 Then said he to the multitudes coming forth to be baptised by him, 'Brood of vipers! who did prompt you to flee from the coming wrath?
Miloong hantek Joon ih juungtem toom tem he ih ra rum taha. Joon ih liirumta, “Pu sen loong ah!” “O ih baat tahan Rangte ih echamnaang theng daapkaat ha dowa sen epui etheng eah?
8 make, therefore, fruits worthy of the reformation, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have a father — Abraham; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise children to Abraham;
Rangdah nawa elek elang ih sen reeraang pakna nawa ih noisok anbah. Sen chamchi nah seng Abraham sutoom ih laklak nakwaan an. Abraham sutoom bah Rangte ih jong ah toon ano botseh jen hoon et ah!
9 and already also the axe unto the root of the trees is laid, every tree, therefore, not making good fruit is cut down, and to fire it is cast.'
Bang hehing nah joot haat suh chaang ah ban thiin et ha; hetiikmuh bang loong ah joot haat ano we nah haattak ah.”
10 And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, 'What, then, shall we do?'
Miloong ih heh suh cheng rumta, “Erah ang abah, seng ih tumjih et theng ah?”
11 and he answering saith to them, 'He having two coats — let him impart to him having none, and he having victuals — in like manner let him do.'
Heh ih ngaakbaat rumta, “O di samsong enyi jeela esiit ah samsong mute suh kotjih, erah damdi o di phaksat jeela rah ih pheekot et theng.”
12 And there came also tax-gatherers to be baptised, and they said unto him, 'Teacher, what shall we do?'
Mararah sokse seete nep juungtem ra taha, eno cheng rumta, “Nyootte, seng ih tumjih reejih ah?”
13 and he said unto them, 'Exact no more than that directed you.'
Eno Joon ih baat rumta, “Sokse mathan seejih ah erah ba se an erah tokkhodoh ehan nak mook se an.”
14 And questioning him also were those warring, saying, 'And we, what shall we do?' and he said unto them, 'Do violence to no one, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.'
Mararah sipaahi ih nep heh suh cheng rumta, seng ih aleh? Tumjih etjih ah? Heh ih baat rumta, “Mih dowa ngun chaan ih nakmok suh an adoleh mih lathika doh ethih etu ih nak nan an. Sen ngun la di mathan cholan erah suh roon an.”
15 And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ;
Mina loong ah ih choocho ih dong laalom rumta, eno neng ih Joon asuh Kristo tam angla ih thun rumta.
16 John answered, saying to all, 'I indeed with water do baptise you, but he cometh who is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to loose the latchet of his sandals — he shall baptise you with the Holy Spirit and with fire;
Eno Joon ih loongtang suh baat rumta, “Ngah ih juung nawa ih juungtem rumhala, enoothong nga lini mih wasiit nga nang ih elong raaha. Ngah bah heh lakhoop pak taajoh tha uh taliikang. Heh ih bah Esa Chiiala nyia we nawa ih juungtem han.
17 whose winnowing shovel [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat to his storehouse, and the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.'
Heh jiinni nunrek je ah, erah ih raan ah dannun ano pung nah toonthiin ah, eno hephaang loong ah we nah babah uh lamettheng adoh tak ah.”
18 And, therefore, indeed with many other things, exhorting, he was proclaiming good news to the people,
Joon ih hejaat hejaat lam nawa ih miloong asuh Ruurang Ese ah nyootsoot leh neng roidong ah elek raangtaan ih baat rumta.
19 and Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, and concerning all the evils that Herod did,
Enoothong Joon ih Kobono Hirod asuh liita, tumeah heh ih Hirodias heh no minuh ah, kapta, erah damdi uh ethih loong ephoop reeta.
20 added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison.
Hirod ih Joon ah phaatak ni sakta rah boot thetreeta.
21 And it came to pass, in all the people being baptised, Jesus also being baptised, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Miloong juungtem lini, Jisu ih nep heh juungtem ah we temta. Heh ih rangsoom adi, rang kaasak ah daap eta,
22 and the Holy Spirit came down in a bodily appearance, as if a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, saying, 'Thou art My Son — the Beloved, in thee I did delight.'
eno Esa Chiiala ah hansi ni wotuupi likhiik heh khothung ni datpura taha. Eno rang ni root esiit dongjengta, “An ah nga mongnook sah. Ngah an suh eroon elang.”
23 And Jesus himself was beginning to be about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, son of Joseph,
