Luke 3
1 And in the fifteenth year of the government of Tiberius Caesar—Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip, tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias 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 [and] Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests—there came a word of God to John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness,
Katema che Anasi ni che Kayafa paŵaliji achakulu ŵambopesi, liloŵe lya Akunnungu lyaichilile che Yohana mwana ju che Sakalia kwipululu kula.
3 and he came to all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming an immersion of conversion for forgiveness of sins,
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 has been written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare 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 Every valley will be filled, And every mountain and hill will be made low, And the crooked will become straightness, And the rough become smooth ways;
Machemba gose gauchilwe, ikwesya ni itumbi iŵe yekolosye uchenene, papapindiche pagolochekwe, ni matala gagali ni tusimbo gakolochekwe uchenene.
6 And all flesh will see the salvation of God.”
Ni ŵandu wose chauwone ukulupusyo kutyochela kwa Akunnungu.’”
7 Then he said to the multitudes coming forth to be immersed by him, “Brood of vipers! Who prompted you to flee from the coming wrath?
Che Yohana ŵaasalile ŵandu ŵajinji uŵaiche achisakaga kubatiswa achitiji, “Ŵanyamwe uŵelesi wa lijoka! Ŵaani ŵansalile kuti chinkombole kuutila uchimwa wa Akunnungu wauŵandichile kwika?
8 Make, therefore, fruits worthy of conversion, and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have a father—Abraham; for I say to you that God is able to raise children to Abraham out of these stones;
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 and also the axe is already laid to the root of the trees, every tree, therefore, not making good fruit is cut down, and it is cast into fire.”
Sambano jino liŵago lili chile kata michiga ja itela, nipele, chitela chachili chose changasogola isogosi yambone chichigwisikwe ni kujasikwa pa mooto.”
10 And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, “What, then, will we do?”
Mpingo wa ŵandu ula wausisye, “Sambano tupanganye ichichi?”
11 And he answering says to them, “He having two coats, let him impart to him having none; and he having food, let him do in like manner.”
Che Yohana ŵajanjile, “Ŵaali ni minjilo jiŵili ŵagaŵile ŵanganakola mwinjilo ni ŵaali ni yakulya apanganye iyoyo peyo.”
12 And there also came tax collectors to be immersed, and they said to him, “Teacher, what will we do?”
Nombe ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ŵaiche achisakaga kubatiswa, ŵausisye, “Jwakwiganya, noweji tupanganye ichichi?”
13 And he said to them, “Exact no more than that directed you.”
Nombe ŵaasalile, “Nkapochela nsongo kupunda iŵannajisye.”
14 And also questioning him were those warring, saying, “And we, what will we do?” And he said to them, “Do violence to no one, nor accuse 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 And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ;
Ŵandu wose ŵaliji nkulolela kwika kwa Nkulupusyo, ŵaliusyaga mmitima jao i che Yohana achitiji panepa ŵelewo ni Kilisito Nkulupusyo jwaŵalanjile Akunnungu.
16 John answered, saying to all, “I indeed immerse you in water, but He comes who is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to loose the strap of His sandals—He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and 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 winnowing shovel [is] in His hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse His floor, and will gather the wheat into His storehouse, and He will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Ŵelewo akwete lupeta mmakono mwao ali chile kupeta ngano, chakumbikanye ngano jambone ni kutaga mu ngokwe ni ikambi kuitinisya pa mooto wangasimika.”
18 And therefore, indeed, with many other things, exhorting, he was proclaiming good news to the people,
Kwa maloŵe gane gamajinji che Yohana ŵachisisye ŵandu kuleka sambi kwa kwalalichila Ngani Jambone.
19 and Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and concerning all the evils that Herod did,
Nambo che Yohana ŵanjamwiche jwankulu che Helode ligongo lya kwajigala che Helodia ŵankwawo nkulugwe ni kwatenda ŵankwawo ni yose yangalumbana iŵaitesile.
20 added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison.
Che Helode ŵapundangenye ungalimate kwa kwataŵa che Yohana mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa.
21 And it came to pass, in all the people being immersed, Jesus also being immersed, and praying, Heaven was opened,
Ŵandu wose paŵamasile kubatiswa, nombe Che Yesu ŵabatiswe. Paŵaliji nkupopela, kwinani kwaugwiche,
22 and the Holy Spirit came down in a bodily appearance, as if a dove, on Him, and a voice came out of Heaven, saying, “You are My Son, the Beloved, in You I delighted.”
ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵantuluchile achiŵaga mpela njuŵa. Ni liloŵe lyapikaniche kutyochela kwinani lichitiji, “Mmwejo ni mwanangu nonyelwe nomwe.”
23 And Jesus Himself was beginning to be about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, Son of Joseph,
