Luke 3
1 And in the fifteenth year of the government of Tiberius Caesar—Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip, tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Kawoy Xibaaryoosi Roome biittan kawotin, tammanne ichchashantho laythan, Phenxe Philaaxoosi Yihuda haariya wode, Heroodisi Galiila haariya wode, iya ishaa Filiphphoosi Ixuuriyasanne Xirakkonddosa haariya wode, Lisaniyoosi Ablaanisa haariya wode,
2 [and] Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests—there came a word of God to John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness,
Hannaranne Qayyafara kahine halaqa gidi de7ishin, Xoossaa qaalay Zakkariyaasa na7aa Yohaannisakko bazzo biittaa yis.
3 and he came to all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming an immersion of conversion for forgiveness of sins,
Yohaannisi, “Hintte nagaraappe simmitenne xammaqetite. Xoossay hintte nagaraa atto gaana” yaagidi tamaarssishe Yorddaanose Shaafaa heeran de7iya biitta ubbaa bis.
4 as it has been written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the LORD, Make His paths straight;
Hessika nabey Isayaasi ba maxaafan, “Bazzo giddon ba qaala dhoqqu oothidi, waassiya uraa qaalay, ‘Godaa ogiya giigisite, horogaakka piddi oothite.
5 Every valley will be filled, And every mountain and hill will be made low, And the crooked will become straightness, And the rough become smooth ways;
Aafo ubbay kumana, zumaynne dereynne ziqqi gaana. Wobbe ogey luulana, giigonna horogay qinxi gaana.
6 And all flesh will see the salvation of God.”
Asho ma77ida ubbay, Xoossaa ashuwa be7ana’” gidi xaafidayssada hanis.
7 Then he said to the multitudes coming forth to be immersed by him, “Brood of vipers! Who prompted you to flee from the coming wrath?
Yohaannisi, ba kushen xammaqettanaw yida asaakko, “Hinttenoo, shoosha nayto yaanaw de7iya hanquwafe attana mela hinttena zoriday oonee?
8 Make, therefore, fruits worthy of conversion, and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have a father—Abraham; for I say to you that God is able to raise children to Abraham out of these stones;
Hiza, hintte simuwa qonccisiya lo77o ooso oothite, hintte wozanan, ‘Nuus, nu aaway Abrahamey de7ees gidi ceeqettofite.’ Haa si7ite, ha shuchchatappe Xoossay Abrahames na7a kessanaw dandda7ees.
9 and also the axe is already laid to the root of the trees, every tree, therefore, not making good fruit is cut down, and it is cast into fire.”
Hekko, beexey mithaa xaphon de7ees. Hiza, lo77o ayfe ayfonna mitha ubbay qanxettidi taman yegettana” yaagis.
10 And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, “What, then, will we do?”
Asay, “Yaatin nuuni ay oothinoo?” yaagidi oychchidosona.
11 And he answering says to them, “He having two coats, let him impart to him having none; and he having food, let him do in like manner.”
Yohaannisi zaaridi, “Nam77u afili de7iya asi baynnayssas immo. Kathi de7eyssi baynnayssas immo” yaagis.
12 And there also came tax collectors to be immersed, and they said to him, “Teacher, what will we do?”
Qaraxa qanxiseyssati xammaqettanaw yidi, “Asttamaariyaw, nuuni ay oothinoo?” yaagidosona.
13 And he said to them, “Exact no more than that directed you.”
I zaaridi, “Hintte qanxisanaw kiitettoyssafe aathidi ekkofite” yaagis.
14 And also questioning him were those warring, saying, “And we, what will we do?” And he said to them, “Do violence to no one, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.”
Qassi wotaaddareti yidi, “Nuuni ay oothinoo” yaagidi oychchidosona. Yohaannisi, “Oodebaakka wolqqan dafidi ekkofite, oonakka worddon mootoppite, hintte damoozey hinttew gido; ufayttidi de7ite” yaagis.
15 And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ;
Asay Kiristtoosa naagishe de7iya gisho, Yohaannisa, “I Kiristtoosa gidanddeshshaa?” gidi qoppidosona.
16 John answered, saying to all, “I indeed immerse you in water, but He comes who is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to loose the strap of His sandals—He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and fire;
Yohaannisi ubbaas zaaridi, “Taani hinttena haathan xammaqays, shin taappe aadhdhidi wolqqaameyssi yaana. Taani iya caammaa wodoruwa billanaw bessonna asi. I hinttena Geeshsha Ayyaananinne taman xammaqana.
17 whose winnowing shovel [is] in His hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse His floor, and will gather the wheat into His storehouse, and He will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Wudumman de7iya kathaa polo geeshshanaw pithey iya kushen de7ees. Geeshsha kathaa ba shaaliyan qolana; kaliya dhayonna taman xuuggana” yaagis.
18 And therefore, indeed, with many other things, exhorting, he was proclaiming good news to the people,
Qassi Yohaannisi asaa daro zore zoridi Wonggelaa odis.
19 and Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and concerning all the evils that Herod did,
Shin Yohaannisi Heroodisi ba ishaa machchiw, Herodiyada, ekkida gishonne haraa iita oosota gisho kaccida wode,
20 added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison.
Heroodisi kaseyssa bolla haraba ubbaa gujjidi Yohaannisa woyne gelssis.
21 And it came to pass, in all the people being immersed, Jesus also being immersed, and praying, Heaven was opened,
Yohaannisi qashettanaappe sinthe asaa ubbaa xammaqidi simmin, Yesuusikka qassi xammaqettis. I woossishin saloy dooyettis.
22 and the Holy Spirit came down in a bodily appearance, as if a dove, on Him, and a voice came out of Heaven, saying, “You are My Son, the Beloved, in You I delighted.”
Geeshsha Ayyaanay holleda benttishe iya bolla uttis. Saloppe “Taani dosiya na7ay nena; ne tana ufayssaasa yaagiya” qaalay yis.
23 And Jesus Himself was beginning to be about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, Son of Joseph,
