Luke 3 (SCH) · Opened

1Hanchu, Teberius Caesar Rêng chang a kum sômleirangana, Pontius Pilat Judea rama governor ania, Herod Galilee rama ânlal lâiin, A nâipa Philip, Iturea le Trachonitis rama ânlal lâiin, Abilene rama Lysanias ânlal lâia han,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,

2Annas le Caiaphas ngei hah Ochai Inlal annia. Ma zora lâia han ramchâra Zakaria nâipasal John kôma Pathien chong a juong tunga.during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

3Hanchu, John'n Jordan Tuidung pang revêl ramtina a se titira, “Nin sietnangei renga insîr ungla baptisma chang roi, hanchu Pathien'n nin sietnangei nangni ngâidam a tih” tiin chong a rila.He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

4Dêipu Isaiah lekhabua miziek anghan: “Ramchâra mi inkhat iniek rôl han, Pumapa lampui sin ungla, a lôna rang, A lampuingei mintûn roi.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.

5Vakuong tin minsip nîng ata, Muol, tang tin mincham nîng atih, Lampui akôi ngei mintûn nîng ata, Lampui anthir ngei minnâm nîng atih.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.

6Hanchu mitinin Pathien sanmingringna mûng an tih.”And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”

7Hanchu, John kôm baptis chang rangin mipuingei an honga, an kôm, “Murûlngei o!” “Pathien dûk juong mintung rang renga jôk rangin tumo nangni ril?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?

8Nin sietnangei nin insîr tatak iti nin nunchana minlang roi, Ei richibul Abraham kêng aninga ti khâi no roi, Pathien'n hi lungngei khom hih Abraham richisuonpârngei a minchang thei.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.

9Thingkung tin aruzung idêna phûr rangin reipui a om chit ani zoi. Thingkung tin mara sa ânra loi nâm chu phûrpaia meia pai nîng atih,” a tia.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.”

10Mipuingei han, “Hanchu, Imo kin tho rang ani zoi,” an tia.The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”

11Ama'n a thuona, “Kâncholi abop a dônngeiin a dônloingei sem ungla, sâkruo a dônngeiin a dônloingei sem ngei roi” a tia.John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”

12Sum rusuongpungei senkhat baptisma chang rangin an honga, a kôma, “Minchupu, imo kin tho rang?” an tia.Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”

13“Balam pêna chu rusuong no roi” a tia.“Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.

14Râlmingei khom an honga a kôm, “Keinite imo kin tho rang?” an tia. An kôma, “Tute sum rangrâtin lâk no ungla, dikloiin mi nôn no ungla, nin loa han nin mulung minchuk roi,” a tia.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.”

15Mipuingeiin John chungroia sabeina neiin, Messiah ai ni duoi mini tiin an mindona.The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.

16Hanchu, John'n, “Keiman chu tuiin nangni ka baptis ngâia, keima nêka roiinpui uol mi a juong ani. Keima chu a kekok sût rang luon inhoi mu-ung. Ama han Ratha Inthieng le meiin nangni baptis a tih,” a tipe ngeia.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.

17“A jâpna rang relei a chôia, jâp a ta, butak hah sapanga thun a ta, arishi kai chu mei thi ngâiloia hâl minmang a tih,” a tia.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.”

18An om lam thûlna rang mohôknân lam tamtakin thurchi Sa a ril ngeia.With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.

19Herod'n neinun tamtak saloi a tho pênah, a nâipa Philip lômnu Herodias lômnua a nei sikin John'n a ngoa.But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,

20Ma nêka saloi uol thôn, Herod'n, John hah intâng ina a khum zoi.Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.

21Hanchu mipui murdi baptisma an chang zoiin, Jisua khom baptisma a changa. Chubai a tho lâitakin, invân ân onga.When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

22Pharvali angin, Ratha Inthieng a chunga a juongchuma, Invân renga chong ajuon ringa, “Ka nâipasal moroitak ni ni, na chunga ku mulung arâisân ok,” a tia.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.”
