Ang Pulong Sang Dios

Lucas 3:1-38

Ang Pagwali ni Juan nga Manugbautiso

(Mat. 3:1-12; Mar. 1:1-8; Juan 1:19-28)

1-2Pagkaligad sang pila ka tuig, may ginhambal ang Dios kay Juan nga anak ni Zacarias didto sa kamingawan. Natabo ini sang ika-15 nga tuig sang pagdumala ni Tiberius nga Emperador sang Roma. Sa sini man nga tion, si Poncio Pilato ang gobernador sang Judea, kag si Herodes ang pangulo sang Galilea. Si Felipe nga utod ni Herodes ang pangulo sang Iturea kag Traconitis; kag si Lysanias ang pangulo sang Abilene. Si Anas kag si Caifas ang pangulo nga mga pari. 3Tungod sang ginhambal sang Dios kay Juan, nagkadto siya sa tanan nga lugar sa pihak kag pihak sang Suba sang Jordan kag nagwali. Nagsiling siya sa mga tawo, “Hinulsuli kag bayai ninyo ang inyo mga sala, kag magpabautiso kamo, agod patawaron kamo sang Dios.” 4Sa sini nga iya ginahimo natuman ang ginsulat ni Propeta Isaias,

“May magawali sing mabaskog sa kamingawan. Magasiling siya sa mga tawo,

‘Ipreparar ninyo ang alagyan para sa Ginoo.

Tadlunga ang dalan nga iya pagaagyan!

5Ang tagsa ka nalupyakan tampukan,

kag ang tagsa ka bukid tapanon.

Ang mga tiko nga dalan tadlungon,

kag ang mga batsihon nga dalan kay-uhon.

6Dayon makita sang tanan nga tawo kon ano ang himuon sang Dios sa pagluwas sa ila.’ ”3:6 Isa. 40:3-5.

7Madamo sang mga tawo ang nagkadto kay Juan agod magpabautiso. Nagsiling si Juan sa ila, “Kamo nga mga kaliwat sang mga man-og! Sin-o ang nagsiling sa inyo nga makapalagyo kamo sa palaabuton nga kaakig sang Dios? 8Kon matuod nga naghinulsol kamo sa inyo mga sala, pamatud-i ninyo ini sa inyo mga binuhatan. Indi kamo magsiling nga indi kamo pagsilutan tungod kay kamo mga kaliwat ni Abraham. Kay bisan ang mga bato nga ini sarang mahimo sang Dios nga mga anak ni Abraham. 9Tandai ninyo ini: ang wasay handa na sa pagtapas sa puno sang mga kahoy. Ang tagsa ka kahoy nga wala nagapamunga sang maayo nga bunga pagatapson kag ihaboy sa kalayo.”

10Nagpamangkot ang mga tawo kay Juan, “Ti ano ang amon himuon?” 11Nagsabat si Juan, “Kon sin-o sa inyo ang may duha ka panid nga bayo, ihatag ang isa sa wala sing bayo. Kag kon sin-o sa inyo ang may pagkaon, hatagi ang wala.” 12May mga manugsukot sang buhis nga nagkadto man kay Juan agod magpabautiso. Nagsiling sila kay Juan, “Manunudlo, ano ang amon himuon?” 13Nagsabat si Juan, “Kon nagasukot kamo sang buhis, indi kamo magsukot sing sobra sa ginapasukot sa inyo sang gobyerno.” 14May mga soldado man nga nagpamangkot. Siling nila, “Ti, kami iya, ano man ang amon himuon?” Nagsabat si Juan sa ila, “Indi kamo magpamahog ukon magbutang-butang agod makapanguwarta. Magkontento kamo sa inyo suweldo.”

15Pagkabati sang mga tawo sa mga pagpanudlo ni Juan, naghunahuna sila nga basi kon si Juan amo na ang Cristo nga ila ginapaabot. 16Pero nagsiling si Juan sa ila, “Ako nagabautiso sa inyo sa tubig, pero may magaabot nga mas gamhanan pa sang sa akon kag indi gani ako takos nga mangin iya suluguon.3:16 indi gani ako takos nga mangin iya suluguon: sa literal, indi ako takos nga maghubad sang higot sang iya sandalyas. Siya magabautiso sa inyo sa Espiritu Santo kag sa kalayo. 17Pareho siya sa tawo nga nagapahangin sang iya inani agod painon ang tinggas sa upa. Ang tinggas ibutang niya sa bodega, pero ang upa sunugon niya sa kalayo nga indi gid mapatay.”

18Samtang ginawali ni Juan ang Maayong Balita sa mga tawo, madamo pa siya sang mga ginpangtudlo nga nakapalig-on sa ila. 19Pero si Herodes nga pangulo sang Galilea ginsaway ni Juan tungod nga ginhimo niya nga kerida ang iya bayaw nga si Herodias kag tungod sang madamo pa nga kalainan nga iya ginhimo. 20Sang ulihi nagdugang pa gid ang sala ni Herodes, kay ginpapriso niya si Juan.

Ang Pagbautiso kay Jesus

(Mat. 3:13-17; Mar. 1:9-11)

21May adlaw sadto nga pagkatapos nga nabautisohan ni Juan ang mga tawo, si Jesus nagpabautiso man. Sang nagapangamuyo si Jesus, nag-abri ang langit 22kag naghugpa sa iya ang Espiritu Santo sa dagway sang pating. Dayon may tingog nga nabatian halin sa langit nga nagasiling, “Ikaw ang akon hinigugma nga Anak. Nalipay gid ako sa imo.”

New International Reader’s Version

Luke 3:1-38

John the Baptist Prepares the Way

1Tiberius Caesar had been ruling for 15 years. Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea. Herod was the ruler of Galilee. His brother Philip was the ruler of Iturea and Traconitis. Lysanias was ruler of Abilene. 2Annas and Caiaphas were high priests. At that time God’s word came to John, son of Zechariah, in the desert. 3He went into all the countryside around the Jordan River. There he preached that people should be baptized and turn away from their sins. Then God would forgive them. 4Here is what is written in the book of Isaiah the prophet. It says,

“A messenger is calling out in the desert,

‘Prepare the way for the Lord.

Make straight paths for him.

5Every valley will be filled in.

Every mountain and hill will be made level.

The crooked roads will become straight.

The rough ways will become smooth.

6And all people will see God’s salvation.’ ” (Isaiah 40:3–5)

7John spoke to the crowds coming to be baptized by him. He said, “You are like a nest of poisonous snakes! Who warned you to escape the coming of God’s anger? 8Live in a way that shows you have turned away from your sins. And don’t start saying to yourselves, ‘Abraham is our father.’ I tell you, God can raise up children for Abraham even from these stones. 9The ax is already lying at the roots of the trees. All the trees that don’t produce good fruit will be cut down. They will be thrown into the fire.”

10“Then what should we do?” the crowd asked.

11John answered, “Anyone who has extra clothes should share with the one who has none. And anyone who has extra food should do the same.”

12Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”

13“Don’t collect any more than you are required to,” John told them.

14Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?”

John replied, “Don’t force people to give you money. Don’t bring false charges against people. Be happy with your pay.”

15The people were waiting. They were expecting something. They were all wondering in their hearts if John might be the Messiah. 16John answered them all, “I baptize you with water. But one who is more powerful than I am will come. I’m not good enough to untie the straps of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 17His pitchfork is in his hand to toss the straw away from his threshing floor. He will gather the wheat into his barn. But he will burn up the husks with fire that can’t be put out.” 18John said many other things to warn the people. He also announced the good news to them.

19But John found fault with Herod, the ruler of Galilee, because of his marriage to Herodias. She was the wife of Herod’s brother. John also spoke strongly to Herod about all the other evil things he had done. 20So Herod locked John up in prison. Herod added this sin to all his others.
