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,
Shaka sha kumi na nng'ano sha tagwala kwabho a Kaishali Tibhelio, a Pontio Pilato pubhaliji bhakulungwa bha shilambo sha ku Yudea. A Elode pubhaliji bhakulungwa bha shilambo sha ku Galilaya, na akulubhabho a Pilipi pubhaliji bhakulungwa bha ilambo ya ku Itulea na ku Tilakoniti. A Lishaniashi pubhaaliji bhakulungwa bha shilambo sha ku Abhilene,
2 [and] Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests—there came a word of God to John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness,
a Anashi na a Kayapa pubhalinginji bhakulungwanji bha bhaabhishila. Gene mobhago a Yowana bhanabhabho a Shakalia gulyajiile lilobhe lya a Nnungu kuanga kula.
3 and he came to all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming an immersion of conversion for forgiveness of sins,
Bhai a Yowana gubhapite mitala jowe jipikene na lushi lwa Yolodani bhalilunguya kuti, bhandu bhalekanje yambi yabhonji na bhatishwa, nkupinga a Nnungu bhaaleshelelanje yambi yabhonji.
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;
Malinga shiishite jandikwa nshitabhu sha a Ishaya a nkulondola, “Lilobhe lika mundu linapilikanika kuanga. ‘Mwaalashiyanje Bhakulungwa mpanda gwabho. Nngoloyanje mushibhapite.
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;
Kila liimbo shilikulilwe, Kila shitumbi na shikweya shiilinganywe. Papindile shipagoloywe, Mipanda jangali ja mmbone jipinga alaywa.
6 And all flesh will see the salvation of God.”
Na, bhandu bhowe shibhaubhonanje ntapulo gwa a Nnungu.’”
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?
Bhai a Yowana gubhaabhalanjilenje bhandu bhabhagwinji bhaikanganaga kuubhatishwa, kuti “Mmanganya bhana bha lijoka! Gani ammalanjilenje nnjibhutukanje nnjimwa ja a Nnungu jikwiya?
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;
Bhai nnanguyanje kwa itendi kuti mwiipetilenje yambi yenunji nikwaabhujila a Nnungu. Nnatandubhanje kwibheleketela kuti ‘Uwe a Bhulaimu ainabhetu!’ Numbe ngunakummalanjilanga, a Nnungu bhanakombola kugayuya magangaga nibha bhana bha a Bhulaimu.
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.”
Bhai nnaino, libhago libhishilwe mmatepo ga mikongo, kupinga kuushelanya nkongo. Kila nkongo ukaogoya iepo ya mmbone upinga shelwa nileshelwa pa moto.”
10 And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, “What, then, will we do?”
Lugwinjili lwa bhandu lukwaabhuyaga, “Bhai tutende bhuli?”
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.”
A Yowana gubhaajangwilenje. “Akwete nngubho ibhili anngabhile jwangali ngubhojo, akwete shalya atende nneyo peyo.”
12 And there also came tax collectors to be immersed, and they said to him, “Teacher, what will we do?”
Numbe bhakamula koli gubhaikengenenje kupinga kubhatishwa, gubhaabhushiyenje, “Tutende bhuli mmaajiganya?”
13 And he said to them, “Exact no more than that directed you.”
Numbe a Yowana gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Nnalonganje koli japunda jimmalanjilwenje.”
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.”
Numbe ashimanjola na bhalabhonji gubhaabhushiyenje, “Na uwe tutende ndi?” Gubhaajangulenje, “Nnatolanje indu ikamundu jojowe kwa mashili wala nnanshitakiyanje mundu kwa kunnambilila. Ntogolelanje na mishaala jenunji.”
15 And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ;
Bhandu bhatendaga lolelanga kwiya kwa bhaagombola, bhai gubhatandubhenje kwiibhuyanga mmitima jabhonji, pana a Yowana bha ni a Kilishitu.
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;
Penepo a Yowana gubhaabhalanjilenje bhowe, “Nne ngunakumbhatishanga na mashi, ikabheje bhanakwiya bhakwete mashili kumbunda nne, numbe nne nangatopela nkali kubha ntumishi jwabho. Bhenebho shibhambhatishanje kwa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo na kwa moto.
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.”
Bhenebho bhashikamula nkubhato mmakono gabho, bhalipinga kubhata yalya yabho na peta, ngano bhakabhishe munngokwe na maashe gangali shindu nijoka pa moto gwangaimika piti piti.”
18 And therefore, indeed, with many other things, exhorting, he was proclaiming good news to the people,
Bhai kwa genego na miungu jina jamigwinji, a Yowana bhakwaalungushiyangaga bhandunji Ngani ja Mmbone.
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,
Ikabheje a Yowana bhashinkwaakalipila bhakulungwa a Elode, kwa ligongo lya kwaatola shilombani a Elodia, bhaliji akongobhabho akulubhabho na indu ina yangali ya mmbone ibhaitendekanyaga.
20 added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison.
Kungai a Elode akuno bhalipunda kwitendekanya yangali ya mmbone, nigubhaatabhile a Yowana.
21 And it came to pass, in all the people being immersed, Jesus also being immersed, and praying, Heaven was opened,
Bhandu bhowe bhakamalanjeje kubhatishwa, a Yeshu na bhalabho bhakubhatishwaga. Na pubhaaliji bhalijuga kwa a Nnungu, kunnungu kukuugukaga,
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.”
na Mbumu Jwa Ukonjelo akwaatulushilaga alibhoneka mbuti ngunda. Lilobhe likupilikanikaga kukopoka kunnungu. “Ugwe mwanangu junguupinga, unonyela.”
23 And Jesus Himself was beginning to be about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, Son of Joseph,
A Yeshu pubhatandwibhe liengo lyabho kulugwinjili bhali na yaka malinga makumi gatatu, na bhandunji pubhaganishiyangaga kuti mwana jwa a Yoshepu, a Yoshepu pubhaliji bhanabho a Eli,
