Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being Governor of Judaea, Herod Tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip Tetrarch of Ituraea and 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 during the High-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, a message from God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the Desert.
nu nsikhi gwa kuhani umbaha u Anasi nu Kayafa, ilimenyu lya Nguluve likha mwichela u Yohana umwana va Sakhaliya, khulunalawe.
3 John went into all the district about the Jordan proclaiming a baptism of the penitent for the forgiveness 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 prophet Isaiah, "The voice of one crying aloud! 'In the Desert prepare ye a road for the Lord: make His highway straight.
Nduvu yisimbiwe amemenyu mwa myamalago u Isaya, “Elimenyu lya munu uviilela mundunyikha, “Mnochage Injila ya Nkuludeva, Mnochage umwigendela umwene yigolokhage.
5 Every ravine shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill levelled down, the crooked places shall be turned into straight roads, and the rugged ways into smooth;
Amaguli goni gisyeliwa, ifyamba nu twamba finovhiwa, imisewe ugubendile gigolokha, ninjila imbivi chigolokha.
6 and then shall all mankind see God's salvation.'"
Avanu voni yavikhovovona uvupokhi vwa Nguluve.”
7 Accordingly John used to say to the crowds who came out to be baptized by him, "O vipers' brood, who has 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 Live lives which shall prove your change of heart; and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our forefather,' for I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones.
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 even now the axe is lying at the root of the trees, so that every tree which fails to yield good fruit will quickly be hewn down and thrown into the fire."
Lino isokha yivikhivwe pa malela ga mmbikhi pwu lino umbikhi gwu gwoni ugusagwihola isekhe inonu, gugidiwa nu khutaga mmwoto.
10 The crowds repeatedly asked him, "What then are we to do?"
Pwu avanu palulundamano vakha mbucha vakhata,” Pwu yinogwa tugahendakhikhi?”
11 "Let the man who has two coats," he answered, "give one to the man who has none; and let the man who has food share it with others."
Akhavanda akhata, “Umunu unyalini khanzu ivili ahumye yimo ampe uyunge uvialivuvule ficho ingave alini khyalya agahe evwo.”
12 There came also a party of tax-gatherers to be baptized, and they asked him, "Rabbi, what are we to do?"
Pwu avange avasonga songa vakhicho khwukwochiwa, pwu vakhembula, “Immanyiai, Tunongivwa tugale ndakhekhi?
13 "Do not exact more than the legal amount," he replied.
Akhavavula, “Mlekhe ukhutola indalana nyingi ficho icho sayinogiwa ukhutola.”
14 The soldiers also once and again inquired of him, "And we, what are we to do?" His answer was, "Neither intimidate any one nor lay false charges; and be content with your pay."
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 suspense and all were debating in their minds whether John might possibly be the Anointed One,
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 he answered the question by saying to them all, "As for me, I am baptizing you with water, but One mightier than I is coming, whose very sandal-strap I am not worthy to unfasten: He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and with 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 clear out His threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into His storehouse; but the chaff He will burn up in fire unquenchable."
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 With many exhortations besides these he declared the Good News to the people.
Kumavungu agange mingi khange, alikhulumbilila inongwa inonu kwa Yesu.
19 But Herod the Tetrarch, being repeatedly rebuked by him about Herodias his brother's wife, and about all the wicked deeds that he had done,
UYohana akhadukha khange khwa Herode umbaha va nkoa pa khutola u Herodia, ichinge nyingi icho Herode alikhuvomba.
20 now added this to crown all the rest, that he threw John into prison.
Pwu khuvulongolo u Herode akhavomba uvuvivi uvunge uvuvala ficho akhandindila uYohani mligelesya.
21 Now when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the sky 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 came down in bodily shape, like a dove, upon Him, and a voice came from Heaven, which said, "Thou art My Son, dearly loved: in Thee is My delight."
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 He--Jesus--when He began His ministry, was about thirty years old. He was the son (it was supposed) of Joseph, son of Heli,
