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 Galil, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Mu mwaka walikumi ne cisanu Tibelyo, mwami wa ku Loma. Pontiyasi Pilato pacindi ico walikuba emuleli wacishi ca Yudeya. Helodi neye walikuba muleli wa cishi ca Galileya. Filipo mukwabo Helodi, walikendelesha cishi ca Ituliya ne Tilakoniti. Lisaniya walikuba emuleli wa cishi ca Abilini.
2 in the cohanim gedolim of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness.
Pa cindico Anasi ne Kayafa balikuba beshimilumbo bamakulene. Pacindi copeleci Lesa walamupa mulumbe Yohane mwanendi Sakaliya mucinyika.
3 He came into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming the immersion of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
Popelapo Yohane walaya akukambauka muminshi yonse yalikuba yashunguluka mulonga wa Yolodani, kabambileti, “Sandukani mu myoyo yenu, mubatishiwe, kwambeti Lesa amulekelele bwipishi bwenu.”
4 As it is written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord. Make his roads straight.
Ibi embyalamba mushinshimi Yesaya eti, “Muntu labilikishinga mucinyika lambangeti, ‘Kamubamba nshila ya mwami. Kamululamika nshila yakendi.
5 Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be made low, and the crooked will be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.
Misena yonse yakunama nikafukilwe, milundu ne bina byonse nibikacepeshewe. Nshila shapetuka petuka nishikalulamikwe. Sha byeshikupuntula nishikaswepe.
6 And all humanity will see the salvation of God.'"
Lino mishobo yonse ya bantu nikabone lupulusho lwa Lesa!’”
7 He said therefore to the crowds who went out to be immersed by him, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Bantu bangi balaya nkwalikuba Yohane kwambeti enga ababatishe. Nomba nendi walabambileti, “Amwe omulyeti njoka, niyani lamucenjeshe kufwamba bukalu bwa Lesa bulesanga?
8 Bring forth therefore 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.
Kamwinsani milimo yaina yeshikulesha kwambeti mulasanduku myoyo yenu. Kamutambangeti, mwalulama pakwinga Abulahamu. ebameshenu. Ndamwambilinga Lesa ngausandula mabwe aya kuba banabendi Abulahamu.
9 Even now the axe also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire."
Nomba lino kembe kakankwa kendi pamiyanda ya bitondo. Neco citondo cili conse citaseme bisepo byaina, nicikatemwe nekuciwala pamulilo.”
10 The crowds asked him, "What then must we do?"
Nomba bantu balamwipusha Yohane eti, “Nomba lino twinse aconi?”
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."
Nendi Yohane walambeti, “Uyo ukute byakulya apeko munendi wabula. Neye ukute byakufwala ense copeleco.”
12 Tax collectors also came to be immersed, and they said to him, "Teacher, what must we do?"
Naboyo beshimisonko balikuyanda kubatishiwa, balamwipusha Yohane eti, “Shikwiyisha, nomba twinsenga cani?”
13 He said to them, "Collect no more than that which is appointed to you."
Nendi Yohane walabambileti, “Mutasonkeshanga mwelo wapitilila.”
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."
Naboyo bashilikali balamwipusheti, “Nomba twinsenga cani?” Nendi Yohane walabambileti, “Mutalamunanga muntu cintu cakendi pakumuyosha nambi kumunanika mulandu. Amwe mali ngomulafolonga amukwanine.”
15 As the people were in expectation, and all were wondering in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Messiah,
Pakwinga pacindici bantu bangi balikupembelela kwisa kwa Mupulushi Walaiwa ne Lesa, bantu balatatika kuyeyeti mpani Yohane eMupulushi usa Walaiwa ne Lesa.
16 John answered them all, "I indeed immerse you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will immerse you with the Ruach ha-Kodesh and with fire,
Lino Yohane walabambila bonseti, “Ame ndamubatishinga ne menshi, nsombi lesanga wampita kayi nkandela kucikonsha kuba musha wakendi uyo wela kusungulula ntambo sha nkwabilo shakendi. Uyo nendi naka mubatishenga ne Mushimu Uswepa ne mulilo.
17 whose winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
Nendi ukute cakupupulushilako maila mumakasa akendi kwambeti apupulushe nekwalongela mulyanga, Lino nakatente bungu bonse mumulilo utashimiki.”
18 Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,
Yohane walikukambauka Mulumbe Waina nekubacenjesha munshila shapusa pusana.
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,
Nomba Yohane walakalalila mwami Helodi pacebo cakweba Helodyasi, muka mukwabo, ne pacebo ca bintu byaipa nabimbi mbyalikwinsa.
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Kusankanya pabwipishi ubu, Helode walamusunga Yohane mujele.
21 Now it happened, when all the people were immersed, Yeshua also had been immersed, and was praying. The sky was opened,
Busuba nabumbi bantu bonse mpobalabatishiwa, neye Yesu walabatishiwa. Lino pacindi mpwali kupaila kwilu kwalacaluka,
22 and the Ruach ha-Kodesh descended in a bodily form as a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying "You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased."
Kai ne Mushimu Uswepa walikuboneketi nkulimba walaseluka nekwisa kwikala pali endiye. Ne liswi lyalanyumfwika kwilu eti, “Njobe mwaname ngonsuni mumoyo mwakame, pali njobe ndakondwa.”
23 When he began, Yeshua was about thirty years old, being the son, as was supposed, of Joseph, of Eli,
