Lukas 3
1 PAR eisoklimau murin nanmarki Tiperius a sapwileda ni muein Pontius Pilatus kopina en Iudäa, o Erodes nanmarki en Kaliläa, o ri a ol Pilipus nanmarki en Ituräa o Trakonitis, o Lisanias nanmarki en Apilene,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Ni muein Anas o Kaipas samero lapalap, masan en Kot ap pwara dong Ioanes nain Sakarias nan sap tan.
in the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 I ari kotikot sili nan sap karos ni kail en Iordan, padapadak duen paptais en kalula ong lapwada dip akan,
And he came into all the region round about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins;
4 Duen a intingidier nan puk en masan akan en saukop Iesaia, me masani: Ngil eu likelikwir sili nan sap tan: Komail kaonopada al en Kaun o, kaineneda al a!
as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.
5 Wau karos pan audaud o nana o dol karos pan patapatedi, o me pirok, pan inenla, o me ululen, pan patapatela.
Every valley shall be filled, And every mountain and hill shall be brought low; And the crooked shall become straight, And the rough ways smooth;
6 Uduk karos pan udial kamaur en Kot.
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 A ap masani ong aramas akan, me koieila, pwen paptaisla re a: Dakot, wan oter komail; is me padaki ong komail, en piti sang ni kamekam, me kokodo?
He said therefore to the multitudes that went out to be baptized of him, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Ari komail kapareda wan kalula mau. A komail depa lamelame, me komail pan indang pein komail: Nan Apraam sam atail. Pwe i indai ong komail, me Kot kotin kak ong wiaki ong Apraam na seri kai takai pukat.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 Sile o mier ni tapin tuka kan. Ari, tuka karos, me so wa mau, pan palepaledi o lokidokila nan iai.
And even now is the axe also laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 Pokon o ap idok re a indada: A da me kit en wia?
And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
11 A kotin sapeng masani ong irail: Meamen, me a sakit riau, i en ki ong, me sota a. O me kan a kisin manga mia, i en wia dueta.
And he answered and said unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
12 A saunopwei kan pil pwara dong i pwen paptais, irail potoan ong i: Saunpadak, a da me kit en wia?
And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Master, what must we do?
13 A masani ong irail: Komail der ale laude sang me kileledier.
And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you.
14 Saunpei kan ap pil kalelapok re a indada: A da me kit en wia? A masani ong irail: Komail der kaloke mal meamen, o der wia sapung ong meamen, a komail ale pwain omail o insenemau kila.
And soldiers also asked him, saying, And we, what must we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither exact [anything] wrongfully; and be content with your wages.
15 Aramas akan lao kiki ong o mongemongeloleki, me Ioanes me Kristus,
And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;
16 Ioanes ap sapeng masani ong irail karos: I paptais kin komail pil, a me laude sang ia kotido muri, me i sowar ong, en lapwada sal en sapwilim a sut, i me pan paptais kin komail Ngen saraui o kisiniai.
John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and [with] fire:
17 Tanir mi nan lim a, a pan kotin koko melel sapwilim a pera, ap nekid pena wan korn nan sapwilim a im en nak, a dip a pan kotin karong kila kisiniai sokun.
whose fan is in his hand, throughly to cleanse his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
18 O song toto, me a kotin panaui aramas akan o padaki ong pokon o rongamau.
With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto the people;
19 A nanmarki Erodes, me Ioanes kapung pweki Erodias en ri a ol a paud, o pweki sued karos, me Erodes wiadar,
but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
20 Kalaudela dip a ni a saliedi Ioanes nan imateng.
added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 A kadekadeo aramas karos lao paptaiselar, o Iesus pil paptaiselar o kotin laolaoki, nanlang ap ritida,
Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 O Ngen saraui kotidi dong i ni mom en muroi men, o ngil eu sang nanlang masani: Koe nai Ol kompok, me I kin peren kida.
and the Holy Ghost 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 am well pleased.
