< Luke 3 >
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip being tetrarch of the region belonging to Ituraea, and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias being tetrarch of Abilene,
Woli, mumwaka gwa kumi na tano ogwokukama bhwa Kaisali Tibelia, omwanya ogwo Pontiyo Pilato aliga ali mukama wa Uyaudi, Helode aliga ali mukulu wo mukoa gwa Galilaya, na Filipo mumulawabho aligaali mukulu wo mukowa Ituleya na Tlakoniti, na Lisania aliga ali mukulu wo mukoa gwa Abilene,
2 in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to be in John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
Omwanya ogwomugabhisi mukulu owa Anasi na Kayafa, Ligambo lya Nyamuanga lyamwijie Yowana mwana wa Jakaliya, mwibhala.
3 And he came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching an immersion of repentance for remission of sins,
Nalibhata mumukowa gwona okwiinda Yolodani, nalasha obhubhatijwa bhwo kuta kulwokusasibhwa ebhibhibhi
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, which says, The voice of a man crying out in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.
Kutyo jandikilwe muchitabho magambo ga Isaya omulagi,”Obhulaka bhwo munu unu kalagilisha mwibhala,”Muichume injla ya Latabhugenyi, mukole injila yae inu imile.
5 Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be brought low. And the crooked things will be into straight and the rough into smooth ways.
Bhuli kolongo elijusibhwa, bhuli bhanga ne bhibhanga ebhinyalambulwa, jinjila jinu jikotele ejigololwa, na jinjila jinu jilina magunguli jilinyalambulilwa.
6 And all flesh will see the salvation of God.
Bhanu bhona bhali bhulola obhwelulo bhwa Nyamuanga.”
7 He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be immersed by him, Ye offspring of vipers, who showed you to flee from the coming wrath?
Kulwejo, Yowana nabhwila elikofyanya enene elyabhanu bhanu bhajaga okubhatijwa nage,”Emwe olwibhulo lwa injoka yo bhusungu, niga unu amabhakabhusha okubhilima lisungu linu elija?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have a father, Abraham. For I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Mwibhule amatwasho ganu agagendana no kuta, na mutaja kwaika munda yemwe,”Chinage Ibulaimu unu ali lata weswe; kulwokubha enibhabhwila ati, Nyamuanga katula okumubhonela abhana okusoka ku mabhuyi ganu.
9 And even now the axe is laid at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore not making good fruit is cut down, and cast into fire.
Nawoli inshoka iteweyo kumisi ja mati. Kulwejo, bhuli ti linu litakwibhula matwasho ga kisi, elitemwa no kweswa mumulilo.
10 And the crowds questioned him, saying, What then shall we do?
Nibheya abhanu bha mwiijo nibhamubhusha nibhaikati,”Woli jichiile chikoleki?”
11 And having answered, he says to them, He who has two coats, let him share with him not having, and he who has food, let him do likewise.
Abhasubhishe naikati,”labha omunu ali na nkanju ebhili jimwiile asoshe nkanju imwi ku undi unu atanayo silisili, na unu ali nebhilyo ona nakole kutyo.”
12 And tax collectors also came to be immersed, and they said to him, Teacher, what should we do?
Nibheya amwi ya bhatobhesha bhushulu nibhaja okubhatijwa, na nibhamubhwila ati,”Mwiigisha, jichiile chikole kutiki?
13 And he said to them, Collect not one thing more than from what has been appointed for you.
Nabhabhwilati, Musige okumanya jiyela kukila kutyo omwendibhwa okukumanya.”
14 And men who were soldiers also questioned him, saying, And we, what should we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no man, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.
Na amwi ya bhasilikale ona nibhamubhusha nibhaikati,”Kaoli eswe kutiki? Echendibhwa chikole kutiki?”Nabhabhwilati, Mutaja kugega jiyelaku munu wonawona kwa managa, mutaja kumubheelesha munu wonawona kwo lubheyi. mwihye ne miyelo jemwe”
15 And as the people were expectant, and all pondering in their hearts about John, if perhaps he was the Christ,
Woli, kulwokubha abhanu bhaliga bhano bhwila bhwo kumulinda Kilisto unu alija, bhuli munu aliga neganilisha mumwoyo gwae ingulu ya Yowana labha niwe Kilisto.
16 John responded, saying to them all, I indeed immerse you in water, but a man mightier than I comes, of whom I am not worthy to unloose the strap of his shoes. He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and fire,
Yowana nasubhya kwo kubhabhwila bhona ati,”Anye enibhabhatija kwa manji, tali alio umwi unu kaja unu ali na managa kukila anye, na anye niteile kusulumula jingoe je bhilato bhyae. Kabhabhatija emwa kwo mwoyo mwelu na kwomulilo.
17 whose winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will gather the wheat into his storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
Lisungulilo lyae lili mumabhoko gae koleleki achumechume kisi owokusungulila ingano no kuikumanya muchitala chae. Tali kasingalisha ingunyu kwo mulilo gunu gutakusima.
18 Indeed therefore, also exhorting the people with many other things, he preached the good news.
Kwo kubhatongela agandi mamfu ona, alasishe emisango jo bhwana kubhanu,
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him about Herodias his brother's wife, and about all of which evil things Herod had done,
Yowana amuganyishe ona Helode omukulu wo mukowa kwo kutwala Helodiya, omugasi wo mumula wabho na kwobhunyamuke bhwamfu bhunu Helode aliga nakola.
20 also added this to them all, he even locked up John in prison.
Tali eile Helode akolele obhunyamuke obhundi bhubhibhi muno. Namubhoya Yowana mwibhoelo.
21 Now it came to pass, during the immersion of all the people, Jesus also having been immersed and praying, for the heaven to be opened,
Njiya njisokanati, omwanya gunu abhanu bhona bhaliga nibhabhatijwa na Yowana, Yesu ona abhatijishwe. Omwanya ogwo asabhilwe, olwile nilwiguka.
22 and the Holy Spirit to descend in a bodily form as a dove upon him, and a voice to occur out of heaven, saying, Thou are my beloved Son. In thee I am well pleased.
Omwoyo Mwelu natuka ingulu yae kulwolususo lwa lilengesi lya inguti, omwanya ogwo obhulaka nibhuja okusoka mulwile nibhwaikati,”Awe ulimwana wani mwendwa. Enikondelwa muno na nawe”
