Luka 3
1 Chaka cha kumi na tano cha ulamusi wa Kaisali, yaani mwenye jwankulu che Tibelio, Pontio Pilato ŵaliji jwankulu jwa musi wa ku Yudea. Che Helode ŵaliji jwankulu jwa ku Galilaya ni nkulugwe che Filipo ŵaliji jwankulu jwa ku Itulea ni ku Tilakoniti. Ni che Lisania ŵaliji jwankulu jwa ku Abilene.
Then, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being procurator 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,
2 Katema che Anasi ni che Kayafa paŵaliji achakulu ŵambopesi, liloŵe lya Akunnungu lyaichilile che Yohana mwana ju che Sakalia kwipululu kula.
under the high priests Annas and Caiaphas: the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness.
3 Nipele che Yohana ŵajawile mbande syose sisili mumpika mwa lusulo lwa Yolodani. Ŵaliji nkutangasya kuti ŵandu aleche kwaleŵela Akunnungu ni kubatiswa kuti Akunnungu ŵalechelesye sambi syao.
And he went into the entire region of the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins,
4 Mpela itite pakulembekwa mu malembo ga jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu che Isaya kuti, “Mundu akunyanyisya mwipululu, ‘Mwakolochesye Ambuje litala lyao, ngolosye mwakusaka kupita.
just as it has been written in the book of the sermons of the prophet Isaiah: “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord. Make straight his paths.
5 Machemba gose gauchilwe, ikwesya ni itumbi iŵe yekolosye uchenene, papapindiche pagolochekwe, ni matala gagali ni tusimbo gakolochekwe uchenene.
Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low. And what is crooked shall be made straight. And the rough paths shall be made into level ways.
6 Ni ŵandu wose chauwone ukulupusyo kutyochela kwa Akunnungu.’”
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
7 Che Yohana ŵaasalile ŵandu ŵajinji uŵaiche achisakaga kubatiswa achitiji, “Ŵanyamwe uŵelesi wa lijoka! Ŵaani ŵansalile kuti chinkombole kuutila uchimwa wa Akunnungu wauŵandichile kwika?
Therefore, he said to the crowd that went out in order to be baptized by him: “You progeny of vipers! Who told you to flee from the approaching wrath?
8 Mpela ila itela ya isogosi yaikusachilwa kusogola ni ŵanyamwe nnosye kwa isambo kuti nnesile sambi, nkatanda sambano kulisalila mmitima jenu kuti, ‘Tukwete ambuje ŵetu che Iblahimu!’ Ngunsalila kuti, Akunnungu akupakombola kugapanganya maganga ga gaŵe uŵelesi u che Iblahimu.
So then, produce fruits worthy of repentance. And do not begin to say, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that God has the power to raise up sons to Abraham from these stones.
9 Sambano jino liŵago lili chile kata michiga ja itela, nipele, chitela chachili chose changasogola isogosi yambone chichigwisikwe ni kujasikwa pa mooto.”
For even now the axe has been placed at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that does not produce good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire.”
10 Mpingo wa ŵandu ula wausisye, “Sambano tupanganye ichichi?”
And the crowed was questioning him, saying, “What then should we do?”
11 Che Yohana ŵajanjile, “Ŵaali ni minjilo jiŵili ŵagaŵile ŵanganakola mwinjilo ni ŵaali ni yakulya apanganye iyoyo peyo.”
But in response, he said to them: “Whoever has two coats, let him give to those who do not have. And whoever has food, let him act similarly.”
12 Nombe ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ŵaiche achisakaga kubatiswa, ŵausisye, “Jwakwiganya, noweji tupanganye ichichi?”
Now the tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?”
13 Nombe ŵaasalile, “Nkapochela nsongo kupunda iŵannajisye.”
But he said to them, “You should do nothing more than what has been appointed to you.”
14 Nombe ŵangondo ŵausisye, “Noweji tupanganye ichichi?” Nombe ŵajanjile, “Nkapokola mbiya kwa mundu jwalijose jula atamuno nkammechetela jwalijose jula ya unami. Njikute ni mbote syenu pesyo.”
Then the soldiers also questioned him, saying, “And what should we do?” And he said to them: “You should strike no one, and you should not make false accusations. And be content with your pay.”
15 Ŵandu wose ŵaliji nkulolela kwika kwa Nkulupusyo, ŵaliusyaga mmitima jao i che Yohana achitiji panepa ŵelewo ni Kilisito Nkulupusyo jwaŵalanjile Akunnungu.
Now all were thinking about John in their hearts, and the people were supposing that perhaps he might be the Christ.
16 Che Yohana ŵaajanjile wose, “Uneji ngumbatisya ni meesi, nambo atakwika jwali ni machili kuumbunda une, none nganguŵajilwa kugopola migoji ja italawanda yao. Ŵelewo chachimbatisya kwa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni kwa mooto.
John responded by saying to everyone: “Indeed, I baptize you with water. But there will arrive one stronger than me, the laces of whose shoes I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit, and with fire.
17 Ŵelewo akwete lupeta mmakono mwao ali chile kupeta ngano, chakumbikanye ngano jambone ni kutaga mu ngokwe ni ikambi kuitinisya pa mooto wangasimika.”
His winnowing fan is in his hand. And he will purify his threshing floor. And he will gather the wheat into the barn. But the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”
18 Kwa maloŵe gane gamajinji che Yohana ŵachisisye ŵandu kuleka sambi kwa kwalalichila Ngani Jambone.
Indeed, he also proclaimed many other things, exhorting the people.
19 Nambo che Yohana ŵanjamwiche jwankulu che Helode ligongo lya kwajigala che Helodia ŵankwawo nkulugwe ni kwatenda ŵankwawo ni yose yangalumbana iŵaitesile.
But Herod the tetrarch, when he was corrected by him concerning Herodias, his brother’s wife, and concerning all the evils that Herod had done,
20 Che Helode ŵapundangenye ungalimate kwa kwataŵa che Yohana mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa.
added this also, above all else: that he confined John to prison.
21 Ŵandu wose paŵamasile kubatiswa, nombe Che Yesu ŵabatiswe. Paŵaliji nkupopela, kwinani kwaugwiche,
Now it happened that, when all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized; and as he was praying, heaven was opened.
22 ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵantuluchile achiŵaga mpela njuŵa. Ni liloŵe lyapikaniche kutyochela kwinani lichitiji, “Mmwejo ni mwanangu nonyelwe nomwe.”
And the Holy Spirit, in a corporal appearance like a dove, descended upon him. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my beloved Son. In you, I am well pleased.”
23 Che Yesu paŵatandite masengo gao ŵaŵandichile yaka selasini ni ŵandu ŵaganisisye kuti ŵelewo ŵaliji mwanagwao che Yusufu mwana ju che Heli.
