< Luke 3 >
1 Nowe in the fifteenth yeere of the reigne of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being gouernour of Iudea, and Herod being Tetrarch of Galile, and his brother Philip Tetrarch of Iturea, and of the countrey of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the Tetrarch of Abilene,
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.
2 (When Annas and Caiaphas were the hie Priestes) the worde of God came vnto Iohn, the sonne of Zacharias in the wildernes.
Katema che Anasi ni che Kayafa paŵaliji achakulu ŵambopesi, liloŵe lya Akunnungu lyaichilile che Yohana mwana ju che Sakalia kwipululu kula.
3 And hee came into all the coastes about Iordan, preaching the baptisme of repentance for the remission of sinnes,
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.
4 As it is written in the booke of the sayings of Esaias the Prophet, which saith, The voyce of him that crieth in the wildernes is, Prepare ye the way of the Lord: make his paths straight.
Mpela itite pakulembekwa mu malembo ga jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu che Isaya kuti, “Mundu akunyanyisya mwipululu, ‘Mwakolochesye Ambuje litala lyao, ngolosye mwakusaka kupita.
5 Euery valley shalbe filled, and euery mountaine and hill shall be brought lowe, and crooked things shalbe made straight, and the rough wayes shalbe made smoothe.
Machemba gose gauchilwe, ikwesya ni itumbi iŵe yekolosye uchenene, papapindiche pagolochekwe, ni matala gagali ni tusimbo gakolochekwe uchenene.
6 And all flesh shall see the saluation of God.
Ni ŵandu wose chauwone ukulupusyo kutyochela kwa Akunnungu.’”
7 Then said he to the people that were come out to be baptized of him, O generations of vipers, who hath forewarned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Che Yohana ŵaasalile ŵandu ŵajinji uŵaiche achisakaga kubatiswa achitiji, “Ŵanyamwe uŵelesi wa lijoka! Ŵaani ŵansalile kuti chinkombole kuutila uchimwa wa Akunnungu wauŵandichile kwika?
8 Bring foorth therefore fruites worthy amendment of life, and beginne not to say with your selues, We haue Abraham to our father: for I say vnto you, that God is able of these stones to raise vp children vnto Abraham.
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.
9 Nowe also is the axe layed vnto the roote of the trees: therefore euery tree which bringeth not foorth good fruite, shalbe hewen downe, and cast into the fire.
Sambano jino liŵago lili chile kata michiga ja itela, nipele, chitela chachili chose changasogola isogosi yambone chichigwisikwe ni kujasikwa pa mooto.”
10 Then the people asked him, saying, What shall we doe then?
Mpingo wa ŵandu ula wausisye, “Sambano tupanganye ichichi?”
11 And he answered, and said vnto them, He that hath two coates, let him part with him that hath none: and hee that hath meate, let him doe likewise.
Che Yohana ŵajanjile, “Ŵaali ni minjilo jiŵili ŵagaŵile ŵanganakola mwinjilo ni ŵaali ni yakulya apanganye iyoyo peyo.”
12 Then came there Publicanes also to bee baptized, and saide vnto him, Master, what shall we doe?
Nombe ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ŵaiche achisakaga kubatiswa, ŵausisye, “Jwakwiganya, noweji tupanganye ichichi?”
13 And hee saide vnto them, Require no more then that which is appointed vnto you.
Nombe ŵaasalile, “Nkapochela nsongo kupunda iŵannajisye.”
14 The souldiers likewise demaunded of him, saying, And what shall we doe? And he saide vnto them, Doe violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely, and be content with your wages.
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.”
15 As the people waited, and all men mused in their heartes of Iohn, if he were not that Christ,
Ŵandu wose ŵaliji nkulolela kwika kwa Nkulupusyo, ŵaliusyaga mmitima jao i che Yohana achitiji panepa ŵelewo ni Kilisito Nkulupusyo jwaŵalanjile Akunnungu.
16 Iohn answered, and saide to them all, In deede I baptize you with water, but one stronger then I, commeth, whose shoes latchet I am not worthy to vnloose: hee will baptize you with the holy Ghost, and with fire.
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.
17 Whose fanne is in his hande, and hee will make cleane his floore, and will gather the wheate into his garner, but the chaffe will hee burne vp with fire that neuer shalbe quenched.
Ŵelewo akwete lupeta mmakono mwao ali chile kupeta ngano, chakumbikanye ngano jambone ni kutaga mu ngokwe ni ikambi kuitinisya pa mooto wangasimika.”
18 Thus then exhorting with many other things, he preached vnto the people.
Kwa maloŵe gane gamajinji che Yohana ŵachisisye ŵandu kuleka sambi kwa kwalalichila Ngani Jambone.
19 But when Herod the Tetrarch was rebuked of him, for Herodias his brother Philips wife, and for all the euils which Herod had done,
Nambo che Yohana ŵanjamwiche jwankulu che Helode ligongo lya kwajigala che Helodia ŵankwawo nkulugwe ni kwatenda ŵankwawo ni yose yangalumbana iŵaitesile.
20 He added yet this aboue all, that he shut vp Iohn in prison.
Che Helode ŵapundangenye ungalimate kwa kwataŵa che Yohana mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa.
21 Nowe it came to passe, as all the people were baptized, and that Iesus was baptized and did pray, that the heauen was opened:
Ŵandu wose paŵamasile kubatiswa, nombe Che Yesu ŵabatiswe. Paŵaliji nkupopela, kwinani kwaugwiche,
22 And the holy Ghost came downe in a bodily shape like a doue, vpon him, and there was a voyce from heauen, saying, Thou art my beloued Sonne: in thee I am well pleased.
ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵantuluchile achiŵaga mpela njuŵa. Ni liloŵe lyapikaniche kutyochela kwinani lichitiji, “Mmwejo ni mwanangu nonyelwe nomwe.”
