Luka 3
1 Tiberi badciamo n dini li bali, li piiga n bina mu po, Ponsi Piilaati den tie Suude bado, ke Herodi tie Gaalile bado, ke o ninjua Fiilipi tie Iture yeni Traconiiti bado, Lisaniasi tie Abilen bado.
Now in the fifteenth year of the government of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Ituraea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Hani yeni Kayiifi n den tie bi Salyidcianba. Laa binli i ke U Tienu bo maadi leni Sakari bijua Jan mi fanpienma nni.
in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, [the] word of God came upon John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness.
3 Jan bo gedi Surdan fuanli nni kuli. O bo yii bi niba ke ban cua ke ban wuli ba U Tienu ñima, ke lan waani ke bi lebdi bi yama ke U Tienu dini sugli bi tuonbiadi po.
And he came into all the district round the Jordan, preaching [the] baptism of repentance for [the] remission of sins,
4 Yeni ke U Tienu Sawalpualo Esayi n bo diani yaala o tili nni tieni yeni mɔni: Bi gbia o nulo nialu ke o kpaandi mi fanpienma ki tua: Bobni man o sani,
as it is written in [the] book of [the] words of Esaias the prophet: Voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of [the] Lord, make straight his paths.
5 Baalɔdga kuli ba piini, Juali kuli yeni gbangbanli kuli ba sali, Ti sangolndi ba sondi, Ti sanbuodi kuli ṅ sali,
Every gorge shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked [places] shall become a straight [path], and the rough places smooth ways,
6 Ke bi niba kuli ba lá U Tienu ŋalbalgo.
and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Jan bo maadi ya niwulgu n bo cuoni ki bua ke wan wuli ba U Tienu ñima ki: A waalaba buoli! ŋma tundi yi ke yi sani U Tienu mutuoli yaali n cuoni?
He said therefore to the crowds which went out to be baptised by him, Offspring of vipers, who has forewarned you to flee from the coming wrath?
8 Waani man i tuona nni ke i lebdi i yenyienu. Da kubi man i pala nni ke: «Ti tie Abrahama yaabila!» kelima, diidi man a tana ne: N maadi yi ke U Tienu ba fidi ki cedi ke ŋan kpandi Abrahama bila.
Produce therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and begin not to say in yourselves, We have Abraham for [our] father, for I say unto you that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
9 Tin faami! Bi bobni li yali ki ba cua ki guli i tiidi: Ya tubu kuli ki loni luanŋanli bi ba cua bu ki juu bu u muu.
And already also the axe is applied to the root of the trees; every tree therefore not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into [the] fire.
10 Lani ke ku niwulgu buali o: Ti ba tieni ledi?
And the crowds asked him saying, What should we do then?
11 ke o ŋmiani ba: li ya tie ke yua pia liada lie, wan teni yua ki pia, liadyenli. Yua pia ti jiedi mɔ, wan bɔgdi ki teni yua ki pia.
And he answering says to them, He that has two body-coats, let him give to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise.
12 A patendgaala (lonpogaala) mɔ bo cua ke wan wuli ba U Tienu ñima. Bi bo buali Jan: ... Canbaa, ti ba tieni ledi?
And tax-gatherers came also to be baptised, and they said to him, Teacher, what should we do?
13 ... ke o ŋmiani ba, Da gaa man ti patendi (lonpo) ke ti cie Gobna n seni maama.
And he said to them, Take no more [money] than what is appointed to you.
14 Sijenba mɔ den buali o: ... Ke tinba i, ti mɔ ba tieni ledi? ... O den ŋmiani ba, da fie man obá ligi, ki gɔ da fani ku faagu obá po: I pali ṅ ya mani i ŋmaapani po.
And persons engaged in military service also asked him saying, And we, what should we do? And he said to them, Oppress no one, nor accuse falsely, and be satisfied with your pay.
15 Bi niba den ye li dandanli nni paaa, ki ji den buali bi bá nni, bii Jan n baa tie O Candaano.
But as the people were in expectation, and all were reasoning in their hearts concerning John whether he might be the Christ,
16 Ke Jan ŋmiani bi kuli: ... Min wan wuu yi mi ñima nni. Ama o nulo ba cua, ki pia u paalu ki cie nni. Mii dagdi yeni min lodi o taacagbanu. Wani, o ba wuli yi mi Foŋanma yeni U Tienu muu nni.
John answered all, saying, I indeed baptise you with water, but the mightier than I is coming, the thong of whose sandals I am not fit to unloose; he shall baptise you with [the] Holy Spirit and fire;
17 O kubi o dilendyetonga, ki ba lendi o dii, ki wodi i diŋami ki kuodi o bɔnbuali nni. Ku fengu wani, o ba lu gu ya muu n kan baa jundi (gbeni) nni.
whose winnowing-fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his threshing-floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 Jan gɔ ŋanbi ki puuni bi niba U Tienu ñɔmaama n buali maama, muandi ba laabamanli.
Exhorting then many other things also he announced [his] glad tidings to the people.
19 Ama, o bo jalgi o bado Herodi yeni wan kuani Herodiati, o ninjawaalo denpua, ki gɔ tieni ya tuonbiadi n yabi.
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him as to Herodias, the wife of his brother, and as to all the wicked things which Herod had done,
20 Herodi gɔ bo cuo Jan ki luoni o dansalgi ki pugni o tuonbiadi po.
added this also to all [the rest], that he shut up John in prison.
21 Bi niba kuli cua ke Jan n wuli ba U Tienu ñima. Ke Jan wuli Jesu mɔ U Tienu ñima. Ama, ya yogu ke Jesu den jaandi, ke Tanpoli po luodi.
And it came to pass, all the people having been baptised, and Jesus having been baptised and praying, that the heaven was opened,
22 Ke Mi Foŋanma jiidi o po, ki naani nani li lanjeli yeni, ke nialu bă ñani tanpoli po ki maadi: ... A tie n bibuadga. N pali mani a po boncianla.
and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form as a dove upon him; and a voice came out of heaven, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I have found my delight.
23 Ya yogu ke Jesu bo cili o tuonli, o den pia bina piita i. Nani bi niba n bo maali (maadi) ke tie Sosefi bijua yeni, o yaajanba yela nne: Eli,
