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 Cesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and Trachonitis,
2 Katema che Anasi ni che Kayafa paŵaliji achakulu ŵambopesi, liloŵe lya Akunnungu lyaichilile che Yohana mwana ju che Sakalia kwipululu kula.
and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, Annas and Caiaphas being high priests, the word of God came unto John the Son of Zacharias 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 all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance in order to 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 Esaias the prophet, saying, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight:
5 Machemba gose gauchilwe, ikwesya ni itumbi iŵe yekolosye uchenene, papapindiche pagolochekwe, ni matala gagali ni tusimbo gakolochekwe uchenene.
every valley shall be raised, and every mountain and hill shall be lowered, and the crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth:
6 Ni ŵandu wose chauwone ukulupusyo kutyochela kwa Akunnungu.’”
and all men 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 said he to the multitudes that came to be baptised by him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
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 becoming penitents, and do not say within yourselves, "We have Abraham for our father," for I tell you that God can of these stones 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 now the ax is laid to the root of the trees: every tree therefore which doth not yield good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire.
10 Mpingo wa ŵandu ula wausisye, “Sambano tupanganye ichichi?”
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 Che Yohana ŵajanjile, “Ŵaali ni minjilo jiŵili ŵagaŵile ŵanganakola mwinjilo ni ŵaali ni yakulya apanganye iyoyo peyo.”
And he saith unto them, Let him that hath two coats, give one to him that hath none, and let him that hath food do the like.
12 Nombe ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ŵaiche achisakaga kubatiswa, ŵausisye, “Jwakwiganya, noweji tupanganye ichichi?”
And there came publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 Nombe ŵaasalile, “Nkapochela nsongo kupunda iŵannajisye.”
And He said unto them, Exact no more than what is appointed 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 the soldiers also asked him, saying, And what shall we do? and He said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely, 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 as the people were in suspense, and were all thinking in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ or not,
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 a mightier than I is coming, whose shoes I am not worthy to untie: He will baptize you with 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.”
whose fan is in his hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat into his granary, but will burn up the chaff in unquenchable fire.
18 Kwa maloŵe gane gamajinji che Yohana ŵachisisye ŵandu kuleka sambi kwa kwalalichila Ngani Jambone.
And many other things by way of exhortation did he preach unto 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, his brother Philip's wife, and for all the wicked things which Herod did,
20 Che Helode ŵapundangenye ungalimate kwa kwataŵa che Yohana mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa.
added this likewise to all the rest, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Ŵandu wose paŵamasile kubatiswa, nombe Che Yesu ŵabatiswe. Paŵaliji nkupopela, kwinani kwaugwiche,
Now, when all the people were baptized, and Jesus was baptized and praying,
22 ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵantuluchile achiŵaga mpela njuŵa. Ni liloŵe lyapikaniche kutyochela kwinani lichitiji, “Mmwejo ni mwanangu nonyelwe nomwe.”
the heaven was opened, and the holy Spirit descended in a corporeal form, like a dove upon Him, and there came a voice from heaven saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in 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.
