Luke 3
1 Ní ọdún kẹ́ẹ̀dógún ìjọba Tiberiu Kesari, nígbà tí Pọntiu Pilatu jẹ́ baálẹ̀ Judea, tí Herodu sì jẹ́ tetrarki Galili, Filipi arákùnrin rẹ̀ sì jẹ́ tetrarki Iturea àti ti Trakoniti, Lisania sì jẹ́ tetrarki Abilene,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
2 tí Annasi òun Kaiafa ń ṣe olórí àwọn àlùfáà, nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run tọ Johanu ọmọ Sekariah wá ní ijù.
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 Ó sì wá sí gbogbo ilẹ̀ aginjù Jordani, ó ń wàásù ìtẹ̀bọmi ìrònúpìwàdà fún ìmúkúrò ẹ̀ṣẹ̀,
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 bí a ti kọ ọ́ nínú ìwé ọ̀rọ̀ wòlíì Isaiah pé, “Ohùn ẹni tí ń kígbe ní ijù, ‘Ẹ tún ọ̀nà Olúwa ṣe, ẹ mú ipa ọ̀nà rẹ̀ tọ́.
As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
5 Gbogbo ọ̀gbun ni a yóò kún, gbogbo òkè ńlá àti òkè kékeré ni a ó tẹ́ pẹẹrẹ. Wíwọ́ ni a ó ṣe ní títọ́, àti ọ̀nà gbọ́ngungbọ̀ngun ni a o sọ di dídán.
Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways [shall be] made smooth;
6 Gbogbo ènìyàn ni yóò sì rí ìgbàlà Ọlọ́run.’”
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Nígbà náà ni ó wí fún ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wá láti ṣe ìtẹ̀bọmi lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ̀yin ìran paramọ́lẹ̀, ta ni ó kìlọ̀ fún un yín láti sá kúrò nínú ìbínú tí ń bọ̀?
Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Nítorí náà kí ẹ̀yin kí ó so èso tí ó yẹ fún ìrònúpìwàdà, kí ẹ má sì ṣe sí í wí nínú ara yín pé, ‘Àwa ní Abrahamu ní baba.’ Kí èmi kí ó wí fún un yín, Ọlọ́run lè gbé ọmọ dìde fún Abrahamu nínú òkúta wọ̀nyí.
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 Àti nísinsin yìí pẹ̀lú, a fi àáké lé gbòǹgbò igi náà, gbogbo igi tí kò bá so èso rere, a óò ge lulẹ̀, a sì wọ jù sínú iná.”
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 Àwọn ènìyàn sì ń bi í pé, “Kí ni kí àwa kí ó ṣe?”
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 Ó dáhùn ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹni tí ó bá ní ẹ̀wù méjì, kí ó fi ọ̀kan fún ẹni tí kò ní; ẹni tí ó bá sì ní oúnjẹ, kí ó ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.”
He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
12 Àwọn agbowó òde sì tọ̀ ọ́ wá láti ṣe ìtẹ̀bọmi lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, wọ́n sì bi í pé, “Olùkọ́, kí ni àwa ó ha ṣe?”
Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ má ṣe fi agbára gbà jù bí a ti rán yín lọ mọ́.”
And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 Àwọn ọmọ-ogun sì béèrè lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ pé, “Àti àwa, kí ni àwa ó ṣe?” Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ má ṣe hùwà ipá sí ẹnikẹ́ni, kí ẹ má sì ṣe ka ẹ̀sùn èké sí ẹnikẹ́ni; kí òwò ọ̀yà yín tó yín.”
And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse [any] falsely; and be content with your wages.
15 Bí àwọn ènìyàn sì ti ń retí, tí gbogbo wọn sì ń rò nínú ara wọn nítorí Johanu, bí òun ni Kristi tàbí òun kọ́;
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
16 Johanu dáhùn ó sì wí fún gbogbo wọn pé, “Lóòótọ́ ni èmi ń fi omi bamitiisi yín, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó lágbára jù mí lọ ń bọ̀, okùn bàtà ẹsẹ̀ ẹni tí èmi kò tó tú, Òun ni yóò fi Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ àti iná bamitiisi yín.
John answered, saying unto [them] all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
17 Ẹni tí àtẹ rẹ̀ ń bẹ ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀, láti gbá ilẹ̀ ìpakà rẹ̀ mọ́ tó tó, kí ó sì kó alikama rẹ̀ sínú àká; ṣùgbọ́n ìyàngbò ni yóò fi iná àjóòkú sun.”
Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 Johanu lo oríṣìíríṣìí ọ̀rọ̀ púpọ̀ láti gba àwọn ènìyàn níyànjú àti láti wàásù ìyìnrere fún wọn.
And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
19 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà ti Johanu bú Herodu tetrarki, tí ó bá wí nítorí Herodia aya Filipi arákùnrin rẹ̀, àti nítorí ohun búburú gbogbo tí Herodu tí ṣe,
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
20 Ó fi èyí parí gbogbo rẹ̀ nígbà tí ó fi Johanu sínú túbú.
Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Nígbà tí a ṣe ìtẹ̀bọmi àwọn ènìyàn gbogbo tán, ó sì ṣe, a bamitiisi Jesu pẹ̀lú, bí ó ti ń gbàdúrà, ọ̀run ṣí sílẹ̀,
Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ sí orí rẹ̀ ní àwọ̀ àdàbà, ohùn kan sì ti ọ̀run wá, tí ó wí pé, “Ìwọ ni àyànfẹ́ ọmọ mi; ẹni tí inú mi dùn sí gidigidi.”
And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
23 Jesu tìkára rẹ̀ ń tó bí ẹni ọgbọ̀n ọdún, nígbà tí ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ó jẹ́ (bí a ti fi pè) ọmọ Josẹfu, tí í ṣe ọmọ Eli,
