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,
Mu mvu wu kumi wu ntnu wu lubialu lu ntinu Tibeli Sezari, Ponse Pilatu niandi wuba nyadi mu Yuda, Elode Tetalake wubiadila mu Ngalili, khombꞌandi Filipi mu Itule ayi mu Talakonite, Lisaniasi wubiadila mu Abileni.
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
Ana ayi Kayife baba bapfumu zi zinganga Nzambi. Mu mvu beni mambu ma Nzambi mayiza kuidi Yowani muana Zakali, bu kaba mu dikanga.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Yowani wudiengila tsi yoso yiba mu yenda Yolidani ayi wuba kuenda longingi: “Bila lubotama mu monisa ti lubaludi mavanga, buna Nzambi wela lemvukila masumu meno.”
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!
Banga bu busonimina mu nkanda wu mbikudi Ezayi: Mbembo yi mutu wulembu yamikina mu dikanga: Lukubika nzila yi Pfumu Luludika minsolo miandi
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;
Mindimba mioso miela sesolo, Miongo mioso ayi zimbata zioso zimiongo ziela lendumunu zinzila zi zikhondo ziela lulama minsolo mi mabadi miela fuanusu.
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Ayi batu boso bela mona phulusu yi Nzambi.
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?
Yowani wuba kambanga batu bobo baba kuizanga mu botama kuidi niandi ti: —Bana ba bikusa! Nani wululubudi mu tina nganzi yoyi yeka kuiza?
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.
Monisanu mavanga mamboti momo mafueni kuidi batu bobo babalula mavanga. Lubika banza bu lulembu yindulanga mu mintima mieno ti: “Beto dise dieto Abalahami!” Bila bukiedika ndikulukamba ti Nzambi wulenda totula bana ba Abalahami mu mataid mama.
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.
Lukeba: soka kikubimini mu zenga mianzi mi minti. Woso nti wunkambu buta mu zenga mianzi mi minti. Woso nti wunkambu buta makundimamboti wela kuangu ayi wela viku ku mbazu.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Buna nkangu wu batu wunyuvula: —Buna mbi tufueti vanga e?
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.
Wuba vutudila: —Woso mutu widi bikhutu biodi, bika kavana kimosi kuidi mutu wowo kambulu. Woso mutu widi bidia bika kavanga bobuawu.
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Ayi mimfutisi mi ziphaku miyiza botama kuidi Yowani, minyuvula: —Nlongi, mbi tuvanga e?
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
Buna wuba vutudila: —Lubika buelanga thalu va mbata thalu yoyo yizengo.
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.
Masodi mamvawu manyuvula: —Buna beto, mbi tuvanga e? Buna niandi wuba vutudila: —Lubika zionanga bima bingana; lubika fundanga batu mu mambu ma luvunu. Lutadidilanga kaka mfutu eno.
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Batu boso bata diana di ngolo bila babanzila ti Yowani niandi Klisto.
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.
Yowani wuba vutudila bawu boso ti: —Minu mu nlangu ndilembu lubotikila. Vayi mutu wowo wulembu yizi wundutidi mu lulendo; ndisi fuana ko u zibula minsinga mi zisapatu ziandi. Niandi wela kulubotikila mu Pheve Yinlongo ayi mu mbazu.
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.
Ayi simbidi mbangu mu mioko miansi; niandi wela kombula buangu kioki kela vevila. Wela lunda ble ku yilu banga vayi wela yoka biti ku mbazu yi kayilendi zima ko.
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Yowani bu kaba vananga zithumunu ziwombo kuidi batu, buna wuba kubalonganga Nsamu Wumbote.
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,
Vayi Yowani wuba tubidilanga buwombo nyadi Elode mu diambu di kakuela Elodiasi, nketo wu khombꞌandi ayi mu diambu di kavanga mavanga mawombo mankakamambimbi.
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Elode wubuela diaka yika bila kiaki va yilu mambimbi mandi moso: wukotisa Yowani mu nloko.
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,
Batu boso bu bamana botama, Yesu mamvandi wubotama. Bu kaba sambila, diyilu dizibuka
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.”
ayi Pheve Yinlongo yi nkitila banga dibembi. Kuna kuwakana mbembo yimosi yitotukila ku diyilu, yikamba ti: —Ngeyo widi Muanꞌama wu luzolo; khini yiwombo wukumbonisanga.
