Luke 3 (DIF) · Opened

1Tiberius kilpawoldra marapratjana ja mara wora mitaia kapara matja ngamana, Pontius Pilatus najinajibanietja Judaiani, ja Herodes kapakapara Galilaiani, ja Philippus neji nunkani kapakapara Ituraiani ja Trachonitis mitani, ja Lysanias kapakapara Abyleneni,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,

2Ja Hannas ja Kaiphas Priesta pirna nganana wonti. Jendranguta Johanningu Zachariani ngatamurani Godaia jaura pantjina wonti pitarani.during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

3Ja nau mitani Jorda kaiarani karakara wokarana wonti ja madlentjandru karitjimalkani multibani jaura kaukaubana wonti madlentji kalingala.He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

4Worderu Jesaiani Prophetaia jaurani parai, jeruja jatanani: „Karkanietjaia ngaiala pitarani parai: Kaparaia palto ngankinganimai ja tidna palto nunkani talku ngankanimai.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.

5Wipawipa pratjana palparu pantjila nganai, ja mardawonpa ja dako pratjana waka pantjila nganai; ja kuntikunti talku, ja palto diladila palara pantjila nganai.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.

6Ja kana warupotujeli Godaia Kulkanipirna najila nganai.“And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”

7Nulu kana wolarani, tana nunkangu dunkana wonti nunkangundru multibanila manila, jatana wonti: „Wiparaia kuparu worajai! Warlenulu jurangu wondrana wonti japa mindrinanto tirini, nau wokarala nganai?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?

8Madlentjandru karitjinaia tandra talku punkibanau, ja wata wonianau jataterila: «Ngaiana Abraham ngaperi ngaianani ngamalkai;» ngangau ngani jurangu jatai, Goda ngurunguru nganai tanangupini mardandru kupa jiritjibala Abrahamangu.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.

9Kalara matja pita kaparani parai; pita pratjana, wata tandra ngumu punkibanani wokaribala nganai ja turuni worala nganai.“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.”

10Ja kana wolarali nina jekibana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Mina ngaiani ngankananto?“The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”

11Nulu kalabana wonti ja tanangu jatana wonti: „Warle kati mandru ngamalkai, nulia nunkangu jinkiatimai, nulia wata ngamalkai; ja warle buka ngamalkai, ngankaiatimai bakana jeruja.“John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”

12Ja bakana mardatandrakampanietja wokarana wonti multibanila manila, ja nunkangu jatana wonti: „Ngujangujara jinkinietjajai, mina ngaiani ngankananto?“Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”

13Nau tanangu jatana wonti: „Kampanimai mina jurangu parai kampananto, wata morla!““Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.

14Bakana kalti ja kirraetjali nina jekibana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Ja ngaiani, mina ngaiani ngankananto?“ Ja nau tanangu jatana wonti: „Wata kulno jupanau, ja wata kaukau wapanau, ja murlali ngananau kalalani juranani!“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.”

15Kana wolara kalkaterina wonti, ja pratjana ngarali tananali ngundrana wonti Johanningundru, nauja munta Christus nganai kara.The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.

16Johannili kalabana wonti ja jatana wonti pratjanani: „Ngato jurana ngapali multibai, ngakangu ngadani kulno wokarala nganai, Nau morla ngurunguru nganai ngakangu; nunkangu ngani wata talku nganai nunkani jinka tidnaputandru dukarala. Nulu jurana multibala nganai Jaolali kulikirieli ja turujeli.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.

17Marani nunkanani pirra nunkani parai, ja Nulu jiraua nunkani darpala nganai, ja buka tandra nunkani kampani pungaia mapala nganai, ja ngurdi Nulu japila nganai turujeli, nau wata paliai.“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.”

18Ja morla marapu nulu kurukurubana wonti ja ngantjani jaura kana wolarani kaukaubana wonti.With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.

19Herodili kapakaparali, ninapini nulu kurukurubana wonti Herodias nunkanaia nejia noandru, ja madlentji pratjanandru, mina Herodili ngankana wonti,But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,

20Pratjanani bakana jenia ngokana wonti, ja Johannes kanjangari pungani widmana wonti.Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.

21Jendranguta kana pratjanali multibanila manina wonti, ja bakana Jesujeli multibanila manina wonti, ja Nau ngatjinani pariwilpa piririna wonti.When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

22Ja Jaolali kulikirieli nunkangu ngarina wonti kantji mulapara jeribaka, ja ngaiala kulno pariwilpandru pantjina wonti ja jatana wonti: „Jidni Ngatamura ngantjalu ngankani nganai, jinkangu ngani murlali nganai.“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.”
