Luka 3
1 Na rĩrĩ, mwaka wa ikũmi na ĩtano wa ũthamaki wa Tiberio Kaisari, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Pontio Pilato aarĩ barũthi wa Judea, nake Herode aathanaga Galili, na Filipu mũrũ wa ithe aathanaga Iturea na Tarokoniti, nake Lusania agaathana Abilene,
And in the fifteenth year in the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother, tetrarch of Ituria and the Trachonitis country, and Lusanius tetrarch of Abilene, during the high-priesthood of Annas
2 hĩndĩ ĩyo Anasi na Kaiafa maarĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene, ũhoro wa Ngai nĩwakinyĩire Johana mũrũ wa Zakaria arĩ werũ-inĩ.
and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 Nake agĩthiĩ bũrũri wothe ũrĩa warĩ hakuhĩ na Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, akĩhunjagia atĩ andũ merire nĩguo marekerwo mehia mao nĩgeetha mabatithio.
And he came into all the region round about the Jordan preaching the baptism of repentance unto the remissions of sins,
4 O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mũnabii Isaia atĩrĩ: “Nĩ mũgambo wa mũndũ ũkwanĩrĩra werũ-inĩ, akoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Haarĩriai njĩra ya Mwathani, rũngariai tũcĩra twake.
as has been written in the book of Isaiah the prophet, saying; The voice of one roaring in the wilderness; Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight His paths.
5 Mĩkuru yothe nĩĩgathikwo, nacio irĩma ciothe na tũrĩma nĩikaaraganio. Njĩra iria njogomu nĩikarũngario, nacio njĩra iria itarĩ njaraganu nĩikaaraganio.
Every valley shall be filled up and every mountain and hill shall be cut down; and the crooked places shall be straight and the rough ways smooth.
6 Nao andũ othe nĩmakona ũhonokio wa Ngai.’”
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Andũ aingĩ nĩmathiire kũrĩ Johana akamabatithie, nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ rũciaro rũrũ rwa nduĩra! Nũũ ũmũtaarĩte mũũrĩre marakara marĩa makiriĩ gũũka?
Then he said unto the multitudes coming out to be baptized by him; O generations of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Ciarai maciaro maringaine na kwĩrira. Na mũtikambĩrĩrie kwĩĩra na ngoro cianyu atĩrĩ, ‘Ithe witũ nĩ Iburahĩmu,’ Nĩgũkorwo ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, Ngai no atũme mahiga maya matuĩke ciana cia Iburahĩmu.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say among yourselves; We have Abraham our father.
9 Ithanwa nĩrĩigĩtwo itina-inĩ cia mĩtĩ, na mũtĩ o wothe ũtaciaraga maciaro mega ũrĩtemagwo ũgaikio mwaki-inĩ.”
But truly the ax is laid to the root of the trees; Therefore every tree not producing good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 Nao andũ acio makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Tũkĩagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩka atĩa?”
And the multitudes asked him, saying; What then shall we do?
11 Nake Johana akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ na nguo igĩrĩ nĩagaĩre ũrĩa ũtarĩ, nake ũrĩa ũrĩ na irio nĩeke o ta ũguo.”
And responding he says to them, Let the one having two coats, give to him having none, and let the one having food do likewise.
12 Nao etia mbeeca cia igooti o nao magĩũka mabatithio, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, twagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩkaga atĩa?”
And the publicans came also to be baptized, and said to him; Teacher, what shall we do!
13 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũtigetagie mbeeca makĩria ya ũrĩa mwathĩtwo mwĩtagie.”
And he said to them, Exact no more than that which has been appointed unto you.
14 Nacio thigari ikĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Na ithuĩ-rĩ, twagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩkaga atĩa?” Nake agĩcicookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũtigatunyage andũ mbeeca na mũtikamaigagĩrĩre igenyo; na ningĩ iganagwoi nĩ mũcaara wanyu.”
And the soldiers were asking him saying; And what shall we do? And he said to them; Oppress no one, neither defraud; and be content with your wages.
15 Na rĩrĩ, andũ nĩmaikaraga metereire marĩ na mwĩhoko, na othe magecũũranagia ngoro-inĩ ciao kana hihi Johana ahota gũkorwo nĩwe Kristũ.
And the people waiting and all reasoning in their hearts concerning John, lest he might be the Christ.
16 Nowe Johana akĩmacookeria akĩmeera othe atĩrĩ, “Niĩ-rĩ, ndĩmũbatithagia na maaĩ. No nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũgũũka ũrĩ na hinya kũngĩra, ũrĩa niĩ itagĩrĩire kuohora ndigi cia iraatũ ciake. We akaamũbatithagia na Roho Mũtheru o na mwaki.
John responded to all, saying; I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh One more powerful than I, the latchet of His sandals I am not worthy to loose; He will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire.
17 Gĩtarũrũ gĩake akĩnyiitĩte na guoko nĩguo atherie kĩhuhĩro gĩake, na acookanĩrĩrie ngano amĩikie ikũmbĩ rĩake, no nĩagacina mahuti na mwaki ũtangĩhoreka.”
Whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purify His threshing-floor, and gather the wheat into His garner, and will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
18 Johana nĩataarire andũ na ciugo nyingĩ na akamahunjagĩria Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega.
Then indeed exhorting them as to many other things he continued to preach the gospel to the people.
19 Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa Johana aatetirie Herode ũrĩa warĩ mũthamaki tondũ wa kũhikia Herodia, mũtumia wa mũrũ wa ithe na nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ mothe mooru eekĩte,
And Herod the tetrarch, being convicted by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and concerning the wickedness which Herod did,
20 Herode nĩongereire ũndũ ũngĩ mũũru makĩria; naguo nĩ wa kũnyiitithia Johana na kũmuohithia njeera.
added also this to all, and shut up John in prison.
21 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ othe maarĩkirie kũbatithio, o nake Jesũ nĩabatithirio. Na rĩrĩa aahooyaga, Igũrũ rĩkĩhingũka,
And it came to pass while all the people were being baptized, and Jesus having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 nake Roho Mũtheru agĩikũrũka akĩũmba igũrũ rĩake arĩ na mwĩrĩ wahaanaga ta wa ndutura. Naguo mũgambo ũkiuma Igũrũ ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe mũrũ wakwa ũrĩa nyendete; na nĩngenaga mũno nĩwe.”
and the Holy Spirit in bodily appearance like a dove descended on Him; and there was a voice from heaven, saying; Thou art my beloved Son, I am delighted in Thee.
23 Na rĩrĩ, Jesũ akĩambĩrĩria ũtungata wake aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka ta mĩrongo ĩtatũ. Nao andũ meeciiragia atĩ aarĩ mũrũ wa Jusufu, mũrũ wa Heli,
