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,
Lino umwakha gwa kumi na tano ugwa nkilunga kesari Tiberia, imisikhi Pontio Pilati ale gavana va va yuta, Uherode alimbaha va nkoa gwa Galilaya, nu Filipo ulukololwe ale imbaha va unkoa gwa Iturea na kwu Trakoniti, na Lisania ale mmbaha va nkoa gwa Abilene,
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
nu nsikhi gwa kuhani umbaha u Anasi nu Kayafa, ilimenyu lya Nguluve likha mwichela u Yohana umwana va Sakhaliya, khulunalawe.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Agendile unkoa gwoni ukhuchungula Inyanja Yolidani, alikhulumbilila ulwocho lwa khupela ulusyiekhilo lwa mbivi
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!
Nduvu yisimbiwe amemenyu mwa myamalago u Isaya, “Elimenyu lya munu uviilela mundunyikha, “Mnochage Injila ya Nkuludeva, Mnochage umwigendela umwene yigolokhage.
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;
Amaguli goni gisyeliwa, ifyamba nu twamba finovhiwa, imisewe ugubendile gigolokha, ninjila imbivi chigolokha.
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Avanu voni yavikhovovona uvupokhi vwa Nguluve.”
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?
Pwo, Yohana akhavavula anyaulundamano uhivaha lwa vanu uvuvagendile lekhe vochiwe nu mwene, “Umwe mwi khipapo kya njokha muvele ni sumu veni uviavavolile ukhunjila uvuhigi uvuyakhave vukhwicha?
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.
Holaga Isekhe khikongana nu lukhuto pwo mlekhe ukhuchova mgati nayomwe, “Tulinu Ibrakimu vi dada veto; ulwakuva ni khuvavula ukhuta Unguluve, iwesya ukhuhalila u Ibrahimu avana ndagave mawe aga.
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.
Lino isokha yivikhivwe pa malela ga mmbikhi pwu lino umbikhi gwu gwoni ugusagwihola isekhe inonu, gugidiwa nu khutaga mmwoto.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Pwu avanu palulundamano vakha mbucha vakhata,” Pwu yinogwa tugahendakhikhi?”
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.
Akhavanda akhata, “Umunu unyalini khanzu ivili ahumye yimo ampe uyunge uvialivuvule ficho ingave alini khyalya agahe evwo.”
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Pwu avange avasonga songa vakhicho khwukwochiwa, pwu vakhembula, “Immanyiai, Tunongivwa tugale ndakhekhi?
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
Akhavavula, “Mlekhe ukhutola indalana nyingi ficho icho sayinogiwa ukhutola.”
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.
Avange avasikhali navope vakha mbucha, “Na yufwe? Tulondiwa tugahe ndakhe khi?” Akhavavula mlekhe ukhutola khumunu uvi avechaga khumakha khange mlekhe ukisile khumunu uvi avechaga kuvudesi, mkelage ni misahala gyimyo.”
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Pwu lino ulwakhuva avanu vukhale nuvunogwqe vwa khugula u Kristi uviye khave ikwicha, khila akhava isaga munumbula ya mwene ukhuta u Yohana pange iva vi Kristi.
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.
UYohana akhanda akhavavula voni, “Une nikhuvocha umwe na magasi, pwu kwali umpamato ayikwicha uvi alinamakha khulina, khage saninogile ukhuvupola imilegeha gya fikato fya mwene ikwu vocha umwe nu mepo umbalache nu mwoto.
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.
Uluhelo lwa mwene lulimmavokho ga mwene ukhonocho vunonu uwanda vwa mwene nu ukhupetela mgano nu khulundamania nkibana kya mwene. Pwu, ayinyunyania amapunji nu mwoto ugwu sagichima.
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Kumavungu agange mingi khange, alikhulumbilila inongwa inonu kwa Yesu.
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,
UYohana akhadukha khange khwa Herode umbaha va nkoa pa khutola u Herodia, ichinge nyingi icho Herode alikhuvomba.
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Pwu khuvulongolo u Herode akhavomba uvuvivi uvunge uvuvala ficho akhandindila uYohani mligelesya.
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,
Pwu yikhahumila ukhuta, unsikhu avanu voni upwu valikhwochiwa nu Yohana, na yu Yisu alikhwochiwa. Unsikhi upwa likhwisaya, khukhanya khukhadi ndukha.
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.”
Umepo Umbalache akhikha pakhanya pa mwene ikhwoni kya khivili vili kifane njiva, unsikhi gugugwa ilimenyu likhicha ukhuhuma khukhaya iyitu, “Uve mwana vango ugane, ndiganile ficho na yue.”
23 And Jesus himself was, when he began, about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, who was the son of Heli,
