Luke 3 (TBX) · Opened

1Eivek vakovek qes 15 wei Sisa Taibilias wo king wei Rom gyeik Pontias Pailat wo lei ngandoung wei seyap wei distrik Yudia yo de Herot yeiteyei distrik Galili dom li Pilip yeiteyei distrik Itulia me Tlakonaitis, de Lisanias yeiteyei distrik Abilini.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,

2Gyeik ingwei Anas aluw Kaiapas wo lumuki lukanzek eno Anutu xe qayeeng lam wou Yoan wei Sakalias neu yo eivek tembuing bandaing.during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

3Woyom moxo la eivek tembuing danghei dalus wei toundei memiing Yorodan vivi yo, me la neil xoulek wou moux alis vex bei xel pekwi xow me zipek, en kandek Anutu semaleeng xel xe sewokeing veil.He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

4Lulti yon qandi nambei poropet Yesaya byex eivek qapiya yo, “Vya taxeing ti lam eivek tembuing bandaing bei, ‘Xam menyex wou sakwaing en Tambiy Ngandoung, xam ghe bong sakwaing embo bombek en e.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.

5Xam samax manya dalus e pup me qandax lukendu is qetyei dalus e deteina. Sakwaing dalus wei wo xeighekeing eno embo bombek, me sakwaing wei wo nol eno embo belin.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.

6Me xel xomaxoneing dalus tyek gyei Anutu xe sakwaing wei vind xomaxoneing veil nilul o.’”And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”

7Yoan neil wou xel qendu ngandoung wei lam bei e zipek xel o, “Xam on myeiy nilul neu xam. Eti peti xam bei tyek xam a pek veil Anutu xe lalei vanei?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?

8Xam ghe buk neing me talex bei xam ghe pekwi xow, me xam se neil wou ma bei xa bumi Apraham. En a neil wou xam bei, Anutu teyeimbei neil me qakous ti beimambei ne bong ambei Apraham neuyeiw.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.

9Qov di yeip woy wou xax qes, me xax dalus wei se vuk neing nimza, eno tyek buv veil de banex ena eivek nenyex.”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.”

10Xel moux alis vex ngenong teling bei, “Om tyek xa bong ambei nya?”The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”

11Om Yoan neil elox wou xel bei, “Tambiy ti xe teimb yayuw toundei ond e bong nge wou tambiy wei ning teimb ma yo, de xelti xe yaeing toundei wou e ond e bong ambei nyon.”John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”

12Xel wei mi qou takis, eno valu lam is ambei nyon en embei nam zipek, om xel teling wou bei, “Putoung, tyek xa bong ambei nya?”Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”

13Moxo neil wou xel bei, “Xam a qou takis teyei lek ingwei seyap toung o, de xam se qou e zekna.”“Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.

14Woyom xel vevek valu teling wou bei, “Dom xa ne bong ambei nya?” Moxo neil elox wou xel bei, “Xam seng bo nol wou xomaxoneing me panax xel xe malew. Me na byex qayeeng tyonyeing lek xomaxoneing en xel xe malew. Qe xam ghe bou naleimim bei malew wei xam ghe mi qou en xuk on teyei woy.”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.”

15Xel xomaxoneing wei mindei me axe lulti beimambei yon xel dalus di wou naleind ngenong bei, “Beip Yoan on Kilisi?”The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.

16Yoan lewexe wou xel dalus bei, “A lipek xam en memiing, ekom tambiy ti nikanzek ghanaw ay eno tyek nam, de a se nimza teyeimbei a tul yis veil e xe vaxalambes. Eno moxo tyek zipek xam en Laweeng Vambuing me nenyex is.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.

17Moxo zeim taliv eivek mema, en embei beyal wit neing veil myapapu, de qekuwou me na toung eivek xomek yaeing, ekom moxo tyek besei myapapu lek nenyex wei se mi mey yo.”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.”

18Yoan neil qayeeng valu wei embei byex xomaxoneing laleind o de neil Xoulek Nimza wou xel.With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.

19Ekom gyeik Yoan neil xel xe seyap Herot en sewokeing wei luw Herodias wei li venei yo, me kwa nilul dalus wei mi wong eno is.But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,

20De Herot tetulexe tine is nilul dalus wei mi wong o, dom toung Yoan la eivek xeitueing.Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.

21Gyeik ingwei xomaxoneing dalus di lipek, eno Yesu lipek is. Me ka e di zeimema, eno tyoung gheyapu tax.When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

22Me Laweeng Vambuing lep me lam wou e, nambei beliy me lam dei lek e. De vya ti lam anghei tyoung gheyapu nei: “Wang on a Neung moux, wei a laleing vind o, a wo xeinglala en wang.”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.”
