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.
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, 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.
when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, 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 came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the 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.
as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “The voice of one crying 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 made low; and the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth;
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?
He said therefore to the multitudes that came forth to be baptized by him, Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming 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.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
9 Sambano jino liŵago lili chile kata michiga ja itela, nipele, chitela chachili chose changasogola isogosi yambone chichigwisikwe ni kujasikwa pa mooto.”
And already also is the axe lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that beareth not good fruit is to be cut down, and cast into the fire.
10 Mpingo wa ŵandu ula wausisye, “Sambano tupanganye ichichi?”
And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
11 Che Yohana ŵajanjile, “Ŵaali ni minjilo jiŵili ŵagaŵile ŵanganakola mwinjilo ni ŵaali ni yakulya apanganye iyoyo peyo.”
He answered and said to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
12 Nombe ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ŵaiche achisakaga kubatiswa, ŵausisye, “Jwakwiganya, noweji tupanganye ichichi?”
And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
13 Nombe ŵaasalile, “Nkapochela nsongo kupunda iŵannajisye.”
And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered 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.”
And soldiers also asked him, saying, And what must we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no one, accuse no one falsely, and be content with your wages.
15 Ŵandu wose ŵaliji nkulolela kwika kwa Nkulupusyo, ŵaliusyaga mmitima jao i che Yohana achitiji panepa ŵelewo ni Kilisito Nkulupusyo jwaŵalanjile Akunnungu.
And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were 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 answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in 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-shovel is in his hand to thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
18 Kwa maloŵe gane gamajinji che Yohana ŵachisisye ŵandu kuleka sambi kwa kwalalichila Ngani Jambone.
And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to 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, being reproved by him on account of Herodias the wife of his brother, and on account of all the evil deeds which Herod had done,
20 Che Helode ŵapundangenye ungalimate kwa kwataŵa che Yohana mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa.
added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Ŵandu wose paŵamasile kubatiswa, nombe Che Yesu ŵabatiswe. Paŵaliji nkupopela, kwinani kwaugwiche,
And it came to pass, when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying, that the 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 descended upon him in a bodily shape as a dove; and a voice came from heaven: “Thou art my beloved Son; with thee 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.
