< Luke 3 >
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Itungli myaka Ikumi na utano utemi wanywa kaikani Tiberia, Matungo Pontio Pilato mudimi wang'wa Uyahudi, Herode ayi mukulu wa kisali Galilaya, Filipo muluna akwe amukulu wakisali kang'wa Iturea nutrakoniti, nu Lisania amukulu wakisali kang'wa Abilene,
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
Matungo umudimi mukulu wa Anasi nukayafa, Lukani Langwi Itunda alumuzie Yohana wana ang'wa Zakaria mumbuga.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Aulongoe muhinzo mkisali kihii nikipilimiye umongo wa mazi nu ang'wa Yordani, akizitanatia itai naubadisigwa nanukuheja imilandu.
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths!
Anga naiandikilwe mukitabu kankani yang'wa Isaya naauotile, ululi la muntu nakulila, nyika noneeli mukondien Inzura amukulu na munonelye Inzula akwe igoloke.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth;
Makombo ihi akizulig'wa malugulu niana malugulu ihi akunoneligwa ninzula niyikunyile ikikogoolwa ninzila Yihi nimbi yikuzipigwa.
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Antu ihi akuona uguni wang'wi Itunda.
7 He said therefore to the multitudes that came forth to be baptized by him, Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
Kululo u Yohana akauila umilundo nukulunu antu au muhangile abatisigwe nugwenso uye wileli wanzoka nua uhungu nubii nyinyu na muhuguye kuumanka ubii nauzile.
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Leli Indiya niyipyani nitai namuleke kulunga mkati anyu kukete u Ibarahimu ingi tata witu kunsoko nimuila kuiti Itunda ukete uhumi kumuhumbula Ibalihimu ng'wana kupuma mumagwe aya.
9 And already also is the axe lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that beareth not good fruit is to be cut down, and cast into the fire.
Ingigwa ihengo aikwa mumili a miti kululo u muti nishawitugaa Indya ninza wite ng'wa mu moto.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Sunga iantu niilundie akamukolya akalunga, i magwe aya utakile kutende ulii?
11 He answered and said to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
Akasusha akalunga ang'wi muntu ukite nkanzu Ibili utakiwe aheje nkanzu ing'wi amupe umuya numugila nuyu nukete indya witume uu.
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Sunga iahoela mpia ikaza kubadisigwa akamuila, mumanyi kutendeuli.
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
Aka aila, '' leki kuhoeli impia ni Idu kukela ni mutakile kuhoela.
14 And soldiers also asked him, saying, And what must we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no one, accuse no one falsely, and be content with your wages.
Anya nguru akamuila akalunga ause? kitumentuni?
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Matungo, Iantu aiakite Insula akumulindila U-kristo kila muntu akasiga munkolo akwe kunsoko ng'wenso Kristo.
16 John answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.
U yohana akaaila ihii, ''unene kumubatiza unye kumanzi ukoli nuzile nukete uhumi kukila une, nishantakiwe kutungula uludingi la ilatu yakwe. ukumubatiza unye kung'wang'welu nu kumoto.
17 His winnowing-shovel is in his hand to thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
Ipetelo lakwe likoli kumukono akwe kupyagula ni Iza ikiuga nikakupetela Ingano nukilingila Ingano misalanka lakwe ingi gwa ukuma sansa imakamilya kumoto ni shawilimaa.
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Ukeneli widu autanantilye nkani ninza kuantu.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias the wife of his brother, and on account of all the evil deeds which Herod had done,
U Yohana aumpatile U - Herode mukulu wa kisali akamutina U - Herode musungu wa ng'wa muluna akwe nuku mabi nidu ni mangiza u Herode nutendile.
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Matungo naitwile Herde aiwitumile uubi ukulu na ngulu, akamu tunga Yohana kukitungo.
21 And it came to pass, when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying, that the heaven was opened,
Ingi aipumie matungo iantu ihii naiakubadilisi gwa nu Yesu nu ng'wenso aubadisigwe, Imatungo naukulompa, Ilunde likalunguka.
22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in a bodily shape as a dove; and a voice came from heaven: “Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased.”
Ung'wa ngwelu akasima migulya akwe. anga Inyunyi, Matungo yayo yayo luli likaza kupuma milunde likalilya. Ue Ingi nu anso ng'wana wane ninumukuilye.
