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,
In year then fifteenth of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when is being governor Pontius Pilate of Judea and when is being tetrarch of Galilee Herod, Philip now the brother when he is being tetrarch of Ituraea and of Trachonitis [the] region and Lysanias of Abilene being tetrarch
2 hĩndĩ ĩyo Anasi na Kaiafa maarĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene, ũhoro wa Ngai nĩwakinyĩire Johana mũrũ wa Zakaria arĩ werũ-inĩ.
during ([the] high priesthood *N(k)O*) of Annas and Caiaphas, came [the] declaration of God upon John the (*k*) of Zechariah son 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 went into all the surrounding region of the Jordan proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness 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 it has been written in [the] book of [the] words of Isaiah the prophet (saying: *k*) [The] voice of one crying in the wilderness do prepare the way of [the] Lord, straight do make the paths of Him.
5 Mĩkuru yothe nĩĩgathikwo, nacio irĩma ciothe na tũrĩma nĩikaaraganio. Njĩra iria njogomu nĩikarũngario, nacio njĩra iria itarĩ njaraganu nĩikaaraganio.
Every valley will be filled and every mountain and hill will be made low; and will become the crooked into (straight *NK(o)*) and the rough into ways smooth;
6 Nao andũ othe nĩmakona ũhonokio wa Ngai.’”
and will behold all flesh 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?
He was saying therefore to the coming out crowds to be baptized by him; Offspring of vipers, who forewarned you to flee from the soon coming wrath?
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.
do produce therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and not may begin to say in yourselves; [As] father We have Abraham. I say for to you that is able God from stones these to raise up children to Abraham.
9 Ithanwa nĩrĩigĩtwo itina-inĩ cia mĩtĩ, na mũtĩ o wothe ũtaciaraga maciaro mega ũrĩtemagwo ũgaikio mwaki-inĩ.”
Already now also the ax to the root of the trees is applied; every therefore tree not producing fruit good is cut down and into [the] fire is thrown.
10 Nao andũ acio makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Tũkĩagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩka atĩa?”
And were asking him the crowds saying; What then (shall we do? *N(k)O*)
11 Nake Johana akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ na nguo igĩrĩ nĩagaĩre ũrĩa ũtarĩ, nake ũrĩa ũrĩ na irio nĩeke o ta ũguo.”
Answering now (he was saying *N(k)O*) to them; The [one] having two tunics he should impart to the [one] none having and the [one] having food likewise he should do.
12 Nao etia mbeeca cia igooti o nao magĩũka mabatithio, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, twagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩkaga atĩa?”
Came then also tax collectors to be baptized and they said to him; Teacher, what (shall we do? *N(k)O*)
13 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũtigetagie mbeeca makĩria ya ũrĩa mwathĩtwo mwĩtagie.”
And he said to them; Nothing more beyond that appointed to you do collect.
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.”
Were asking then him also those being soldiers saying; What (may do *N(k)O*) also we ourselves And he said (to *k*) (to them; *N(k)O*) No one may extort nor may accuse falsely and do be content with the wages of you.
15 Na rĩrĩ, andũ nĩmaikaraga metereire marĩ na mwĩhoko, na othe magecũũranagia ngoro-inĩ ciao kana hihi Johana ahota gũkorwo nĩwe Kristũ.
When were expecting then the people and wondering all in the hearts of them concerning John, whether whether he himself would 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.
Answered saying ([to] all *N(k)O*) John: I myself indeed with water baptize you; comes however the [One] mightier than I, of whom not I am worthy to untie the strap of the sandals of Him. He himself you will baptize with [the] Spirit Holy and with fire,
17 Gĩtarũrũ gĩake akĩnyiitĩte na guoko nĩguo atherie kĩhuhĩro gĩake, na acookanĩrĩrie ngano amĩikie ikũmbĩ rĩake, no nĩagacina mahuti na mwaki ũtangĩhoreka.”
of whom the winnowing fork [is] in the hand of Him (and *k*) (to scour *N(k)O*) the threshing floor of Him and (to gather *N(k)O*) the wheat into the barn of Him. But the chaff He will burn up with fire unquenchable.
18 Johana nĩataarire andũ na ciugo nyingĩ na akamahunjagĩria Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega.
Many indeed therefore other things exhorting he was evangelising 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 reproved by him concerning Herodias the wife (of Philip *K*) of the brother of him and concerning all that did [the] evils Herod,
20 Herode nĩongereire ũndũ ũngĩ mũũru makĩria; naguo nĩ wa kũnyiitithia Johana na kũmuohithia njeera.
added yet this to all: Also he locked up John in (*k*) prison.
21 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ othe maarĩkirie kũbatithio, o nake Jesũ nĩabatithirio. Na rĩrĩa aahooyaga, Igũrũ rĩkĩhingũka,
It came to pass now in baptizing all the people and when Jesus having been baptized and having prayed [was] opening the heaven
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 descending the Spirit Holy in a bodily form (as *N(k)O*) a dove upon Him and a voice out of heaven coming (saying: *k*) You yourself are the Son of Mine the beloved, in You I am well pleased.
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,
