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 tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Mushinja sha lilongu na muhanu wa ukolamlima wa Kaisari Tiberiwu, Pontiwu Pilatu kaweriti mkolamlima gwa Yudeya, Herodi kaweriti mkolamlima gwa mkowa gwa Galilaya na Filipi mlongu gwakuwi kaweriti mkolamlima gwa mikowa ya Itureya na Trakuniti. Lusaniya kaweriti mkolamlima gwa Abileni,
2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness.
na Anasi na Kayafa waweriti watambika wakulu, shipindi ashi shisoweru sha Mlungu shimwizira Yohani mwana gwa Zakariya kushiwala kulii.
3 He came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for remission of sins.
Su Yohana kagenda pahala poseri papaweriti na lushemba Yoridani kaweriti kankubwera pakalonga, “Mleki vidoda vyamtenditi na mkabatizwi, su Mlungu hakawalekiziyi vidoda vyamtenditi.”
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.
Ayi ndo yawalembiti mushintola sha mbuyi gwa Mlungu Isaya, “Liziwu lya muntu lipikanika kushiwala, ‘Mumtenderi kala Mtuwa njira yakuwi, mumnyawili weri njira zyakuwi!’”
5 Every valley will be filled. Every mountain and hill will be brought low. The crooked will become straight, and the rough ways smooth.
“‘Kila shibokela hawashifintili, Kila lugongu na shigongu hashipalaswi, Paweriti padusunka hapanyoshwi, Zinjira za vuluvulu hazinyawi.
6 All flesh will see God’s salvation.’”
Wantu woseri hawawuwoni ulopoziwu wa Mlungu!’”
7 He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be baptized by him, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Lipinga lya wantu liziti kwa Yohani su wabatizwi. Yomberi kawagambira, “Mwenga mwashiyiwuku sha wanjoka, kakugambirani gaa mtugi maya ga Mlungu gagiza?
8 Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say among yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father;’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!
Mulanguziyi nakaka ntambu yamutenda handa mleka vidoda vyamtenditi. Namwanja kulonga, ‘Twenga Aburahamu ndo mbuyi gwetu!’ Nukugambirani nakaka, Mlungu tembera katendi ata mabuwi aga gaweri wana wa Aburahamu!
9 Even now the ax also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
Su vinu liwagu litulwa kala kudumula mishigira ya mitera, na kila mtera gwagulera ndiri mabwajubwaju gaherepa, hagudumulwi na kugwasila mumotu.”
10 The multitudes asked him, “What then must we do?”
Wantu wamkosiyiti Yohana Mbatiza, “Su twenga tutendi hashi?”
11 He answered them, “He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise.”
Yomberi kawankula, “Yakana nguwu mbili kamupi kahera nguwu na yakana shiboga na yomberi katendi ntambu iraayi.”
12 Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
Watola kodi wiziti wabatizwi, wamkosiya, “Mfunda na twenga tutendi hashi?”
13 He said to them, “Collect no more than that which is appointed to you.”
Kawagambira, “Namtola kodi nentu ya shiyasi shawatuliti.”
14 Soldiers also asked him, saying, “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages.”
Na wamanjagila wamkosiya, “Na twenga tutendi ashi?” Su yomberi kawankula, “Mwenga mleki kuwapoka wantu vintu vyawu, ama kuwasitaka wantu pamuwapayira hera. Mjimili shibena mgongu shampata.”
15 As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Christ,
Wantu woseri waweriti wankulolera kwiza kwa Mlopoziya, waweriti wankulikosiya mumyoyu mwawu Yohani, ndo Kristu?
16 John answered them all, “I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire.
Paliya Yohani kuwagambira woseri, “Neni nankubatiza kwa mashi, kumbiti kwana muntu kiza kana uwezu kuliku neni. Neni weza ndiri kuyopola lugoyi lwa kutawira shiyatu shakuwi. Mweni ayu hakakubatizani kwa Rohu Mnanagala na kwa motu.
17 His winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Yomberi mumawoku mwakuwi kana luselu lwa kupetera, hakayijojiniri nganu na kuitula muluhanja lyakuwi, kumbiti hakatoli miwawi na kuipambira pamotu gwagutenda ndiri tiya.”
18 Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,
Kwa visoweru vivuwa Yohani kaweriti kankuwabwelera wantu visoweru viheri, kankuwagambira wantu waleki vidoda vyawatenda.
19 but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
Yohani kamkalipiriti Herodi yakaweriti mkola mlima gwa mukowa, toziya kaweriti kamupoka Herodiya yakaweriti mdala gwa mlongu gwakuwi na katenditi vintu vivuwa vidoda nentu.
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Su Herodi katenditi shidoda nentu kwa kamtatira Yohani mushibetubetu.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized and was praying. The sky was opened,
Wantu woseri pawawabatiziti kala, Yesu wambatiziti vilavi. Pakaweriti kankuluwa, kumpindi kuvuguka,
22 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying “You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased.”
na Rohu Mnanagala kamsulukira kaweriti gambira mpongu mfanu gwa ngunda, liziwu lipikanika kulawa kumpindi palilonga, “Gwenga gwa mwana gwangu yanukufira. Gunhelepera”
