Luke 3 (AQK) · Opened

1Ming ku ashe wur ne tung etum Kaisar Tibariya neni, Buntus Bilatus asi awa gir gar Yahudiya. Hiridus asi etum Galili. Zuman Filibus agir Ituriya neni Tarakunitas. Lisaniyas agir Abija,In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

2nkpang kami Hanana ne Kayafa asiba si abi tok ankpur ankpyingkpyaˈ. Nkpang kukuma si nkpyeng reng yi Arik ni nyi Yohana zu Zakariya ankwang.during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

3Asi Yohana dzip bubum ta koma nya Juda, ta dibi ban reng Arik tadi andishir aba kam asan, na aba tiba baftisma ti ba tsoˈ zup mbombom man agura.He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

4Yasi mi na tse ming mgbangwu ku Ishaya ni reng ne antinte Arik tadi, “Kor ka gyo ming ankwang kadi, Gina bi nam Atikop tsir, gina bi nap ane tsir ama.as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.

5Ati nap kowuni nfor, ati jir nkpang ashur neni gbu kpyaˈ. Ati nap tsir kami kani dan, na aba nam mbombom tsir ti kabi kong.Every valley shall be filled in, and every mountain and hill made low. The crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.

6Boboˈ andishir bati nam ta gyoˈ ya Arik.”And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”

7Yohana nadi bing ya andishira abami na nyi aba tiba baftisma, “Gina ni nyi mbombom ani hywa. Nga na vim gina bi tsur je kami ka nyi?Then John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

8Gina bi kam san ti tsintsin didik kami ti tsar gina ni ta Arik. Kɨr gina bi shum asusun amin tidi, Ibrahim awa si ada mbor. Ti ngga ban gina Arik asi ni tsi yami ati nik Ibrahim amumun ri nkpang yi yama.Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.

9Na ka amin asaˈ anu agber aring nkunkun, ti nkunkun kami baka ni nyir mumun didik ba', ba chemka gyoˈ uwur.”The axe lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”

10Asi andishir ba arip wu, “Asi ani kwara nam?”The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”

11Na tayima tadi, “Awami asi ni ntuntur waa, aba gap ne awami asang nga ma ni gin, awami asi ni ki ri aba nam ama.”John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”

12Abi ta ankor mmimi bana nyi ti aba tiba baftisma, asi aba rip wu tadi, Nitsar, kwara ti nam are?Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”

13Na diba, “Kɨr gina bi ta gari kam kiyami na di aba ta.”“Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.

14Abi rop akpa bana rip wu, “Kwara pa? Kwara nam are?” Asi awa diba, “Kɨr dung gin andishir anik gina ankor ni tsi. Kɨr ya ti gin neba nmu baˈ atu yami bana kak nik gina ankor. Kiyami awang gina bi mar gina.”Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” “Do not take money by force or false accusation,” he said. “Be content with your wages.”

15Andishir bana ngwup nyi yi Kristi, boboˈ man asi ba shum susun aman ko Yohana asi Kristi ni.The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.

16Asi Yohana adi ba, “Ngga ti gina baftisma na mashir, ti nung awami ati nyi na nang ngga ni nkpyaˈ, ba ngga ni mar awami ngga ti juk aririk akpadza ama baˈ. Asi awa ati ti gina baftisma ne Rim Tsetser ne wur.John answered all of them: “I baptize you with water, but One more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

17Awa gir mbubum ma, ati dzeng npyeng, ta abing alkama ama ashur ming gbu ma. Nema ati ngbu anfur ayami bana gi dzeng nga baˈ, ni wur kami baka rim baˈ.”His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

18Nema asi awa rip ba atu yi kiki nung nidum, Yohana na ban andishir reng arik ku re.With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.

19Nema Yohana na vim gomna Hiridus, atu yami awa Hiridus na ta Hiridiya, uwa zuman Filibus, nebi nam kiki mbombom nidum.But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,

20Hiridus na nanam adi, aba vung Yohana kung jaru.Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.

21Gong kami na ka ati andishir boboˈ baftisma, asi aya ti Yesu ma sima. Asi ming ku ben, asi shu ka bu,When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

22Rim Tsetser mi agurgu ni ji song ituma. Asi awo kor nung ka ri shu tidi, “Wasi zu Arik, awami ngga ni ta wu nyima. Ngga wo remi awowon.”and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
