Luke 3
1 By now Tiberias had been Caesar for fifteen years. Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea. Herod was ruler of Galilee, his brother Philip was ruler of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanius was ruler of Abiline.
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 Annas and Caiphas were the current high priests. This was the time when the word of God came to John, Zechariah's son, who was living in the desert.
Omwanya ogwomugabhisi mukulu owa Anasi na Kayafa, Ligambo lya Nyamuanga lyamwijie Yowana mwana wa Jakaliya, mwibhala.
3 He went throughout the whole Jordan region, announcing to everyone that they needed to be baptized to show they had repented and their sins had been forgiven.
Nalibhata mumukowa gwona okwiinda Yolodani, nalasha obhubhatijwa bhwo kuta kulwokusasibhwa ebhibhibhi
4 As Isaiah the prophet wrote: “A voice was heard crying out in the desert, ‘Prepare 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 leveled. Crooked ways will be straightened, and rough roads will be smoothed.
Bhuli kolongo elijusibhwa, bhuli bhanga ne bhibhanga ebhinyalambulwa, jinjila jinu jikotele ejigololwa, na jinjila jinu jilina magunguli jilinyalambulilwa.
6 Every human being will see God's salvation.’”
Bhanu bhona bhali bhulola obhwelulo bhwa Nyamuanga.”
7 John addressed the crowds that came to him to be baptized. “You viper's brood! Who warned you to flee from the coming judgment?” he asked.
Kulwejo, Yowana nabhwila elikofyanya enene elyabhanu bhanu bhajaga okubhatijwa nage,”Emwe olwibhulo lwa injoka yo bhusungu, niga unu amabhakabhusha okubhilima lisungu linu elija?
8 “Demonstrate that you have truly repented. Don't try to justify yourselves by saying, ‘We're Abraham's descendants.’ Let me tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these stones.
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 The ax is set to begin chopping at the base of the trees. Any tree that doesn't produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.”
Nawoli inshoka iteweyo kumisi ja mati. Kulwejo, bhuli ti linu litakwibhula matwasho ga kisi, elitemwa no kweswa mumulilo.
10 “So what should we do?” the crowds asked him.
Nibheya abhanu bha mwiijo nibhamubhusha nibhaikati,”Woli jichiile chikoleki?”
11 “If you have two coats, then share with someone who doesn't have one. If you have food, then share with those who don't,” he told them.
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 Some tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher, what should we do?” they also asked.
Nibheya amwi ya bhatobhesha bhushulu nibhaja okubhatijwa, na nibhamubhwila ati,”Mwiigisha, jichiile chikole kutiki?
13 “Don't collect any more tax than you're meant to,” he replied.
Nabhabhwilati, Musige okumanya jiyela kukila kutyo omwendibhwa okukumanya.”
14 “What about us?” some soldiers asked. “What should we do?” “Don't demand money with threats of violence. Don't make accusations that are untrue. Be satisfied with your wages,” he replied.
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 The people were waiting expectantly, and wondered whether John himself might be the Messiah.
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 replied and explained to everybody, “Yes, I am baptizing you in water. But the one who is coming is more important than me, and I'm not worthy to undo his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with 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 His winnowing fork is in his hand and he's ready to separate the wheat from the chaff on his threshing floor. He'll gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with fire that can't be extinguished.”
Lisungulilo lyae lili mumabhoko gae koleleki achumechume kisi owokusungulila ingano no kuikumanya muchitala chae. Tali kasingalisha ingunyu kwo mulilo gunu gutakusima.
18 John gave many warnings like this as he announced the good news to the people.
Kwo kubhatongela agandi mamfu ona, alasishe emisango jo bhwana kubhanu,
19 But when John reprimanded Herod the ruler for marrying Herodias, Herod's brother's wife, and for all the evil things he'd done,
Yowana amuganyishe ona Helode omukulu wo mukowa kwo kutwala Helodiya, omugasi wo mumula wabho na kwobhunyamuke bhwamfu bhunu Helode aliga nakola.
20 Herod added to his crimes by having John thrown into jail.
Tali eile Helode akolele obhunyamuke obhundi bhubhibhi muno. Namubhoya Yowana mwibhoelo.
21 Now it happened that after everyone had been baptized, Jesus was baptized as well. As he was praying, heaven was opened,
Njiya njisokanati, omwanya gunu abhanu bhona bhaliga nibhabhatijwa na Yowana, Yesu ona abhatijishwe. Omwanya ogwo asabhilwe, olwile nilwiguka.
22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, taking the form of a dove. A voice came from heaven, saying, “You are my son, the one I love. I am truly pleased with you.”
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”
