Luke 3 (GAX) · Opened

1Xiberyoos mooticha te'ee woggaa kudhanii shaneesso'ootitti, Phonxoos Philaaxoos bulchaa biyya Yihuda'aa, Heroodis biyya Galiila'aatitti, obboleessi isaa Filiphoos biyya Ixuriya'aatii fi Xuraakonixiititti, Lisaaniyaasille biyya Abiliinya'aatitti bulchitoota biyyaa te'ane.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,

2Yennaa Haannaasii fi Qayyaaffaan Yihudootaaf hayyoota gugurdoo te'aneeranutti, Yohaannisiin ilmi Zakaariyaasii goomolee keessa jiruun dubbiin Waaqaa itti dhutte.during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

3Yohaannis adaala biyya Yordaanosii duudii keessa ideemee, «Cubbuu teessan irraa deebi'aatii cuuphama'a; Waaqille cubbuu teessan isiniif hin araarama» jedhee lallabe.He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

4Isaayaasiin raagichi marroo Yohaannisiitiif, «Nami tokko goomolee keessatti, ‹Karaa Gootta'aa qopheessa'a; daandii inni irra ideemu qajeelcha'a!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.

5«‹Baleen martinuu guutantuu ti, koobii fi gaarri martinuu diriiruu ti. Karaan daddabaan qajeelee, daandiin kattattaan wol qixxoottuu ti.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.

6Nami duudiin fayyisiisa Waaqaa hin dhagga› » jedhee barreesseera.And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”

7Yohaannis gumii harka isaatitti cuuphamiisaaf gara isaa dhutteen, «Isin ilmaan buuti'ii! Akka isin mufii Waaqaa ta isinitti dhufaartu jalaa baqattanu eennutti isinitti hime?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?

8Cubbuu teessan irraa akka deebitane waan mudhisu tolcha'a. Abbaan keenna Abrahaam jedhiisatti hin ka'ina'a. Waaqi dhakoota kana keessaa fuudhee Abrahaamiif ilmaan tolchiisa akka dande'u ani isinitti hima.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.

9Agaraan mukoota hiddatti muriisaaf qophoweera. Muki midhaan dansaa hin buunne maraa muramee ibiddatti hin gatama» jedhe.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.”

10Jennaan kolbaan, «Yoona nuuti maan tolchinu ree?» jettee Yohaannis gaafatteThe crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”

11Inni deebisee, «Nami uffana lamaan qabu ka womaa hin qanneef kennuu ti; ka sagalee qabulle worra hin qanne woliin qoodamuu ti» jedhe.John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”

12Worri qaraxa guuranu cuuphamiisaaf dhufanee, «Barsiisa'a, nuuti maan tolchinu?» jedhanee isa gaafatane.Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”

13Yohaannis isaaniin, «Ka seeraan murame caalchittanee hin guurina'a» jedhe“Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.

14Loltooti gariin, «Nuuti hore? Maan goona?» jedhanee isa gaafatane. Innille isaaniin, «Hunnaan namuu irraa beesee hin guurina'a, eennulle dharaan hin himatina'a, mindaan keessan isiniif gewuu ti» jedhe.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.”

15Kolbaan hedduun dhufa Kiristoosii eegiisatti waan jirtuuf, «Yohaannis Masiihii te'innaa?» jettee mante.The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.

16Yohaannis, «Ani amma bisaaniin isin cuupha, ka na caalu ammoo na duubaan dhufaara. Ani hidhaa kophee isaa hiikiisaafille nama te'uu moti. Inni Ayyaana Woyyichaa fi ibiddaan isin cuupha.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.

17Inni eeddummee ifii keessatti midhaan qulleessiisaaf wobanee harkatti qabateera; midhaan qulleessee gootara'atti hin galcha; huura ammoo ibidda hin dhaanneen guba» jedhe.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.”

18Yohaannis karaa adda addaa heddu'uun gorsa isaaniif kennaa, Oduu Gammadaa isaanitti lallabe.With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.

19Heroodisiin bulchaan, Heroodiyaas niitii obboleessa ifii fuudhee, waan badduu hedduu dhibiille waan hujeeruuf Yohaannis isa xixe.But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,

20Heroodis waan badduu ittuma dabalee, Yohaannis mana hidha'aatitti galche.Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.

21Kolbaan mara cuuphanteen duuba Yesuusille cuuphame. Adoo inni daadimatiisatti jiruu ol-gubbaan banantee,When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

22Ayyaanni Woyyichi saphaliisa fakkaatee dhufee isa irra bu'e. Ol-gubbaa irraa, «Ati Ilma kiyya jaalatama'a. Ani si'itti gammadeera» qoonqoon jettu dhage'ante.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.”
