< Luka 3 >
1 A shekara ta goma sha biyar ta mulkin Kaisar Tiberiyus, a lokacin Buntus Bilatus ne gwamnar Yahudiya, Hiridus kuma yana sarautar Galili, ɗan’uwansa Filibus yana sarautar Ituriya da Tarakunitis, Lisaniyas kuma yana sarautar Abiline.
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother was tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,
2 A lokacin ne Annas da Kayifas suke manyan firistoci. Sai maganar Allah ta zo wa Yohanna, ɗan Zakariya a hamada.
during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
3 Ya zaga dukan ƙasar da take kewaye da Urdun, yana wa’azin baftismar tuba don gafarar zunubai.
He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins,
4 Kamar yadda yake a rubuce a littafin annabi Ishaya. “Muryar mai kira a hamada, ‘Ku shirya wa Ubangiji hanya, ku miƙe hanyoyi dominsa.
as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.
5 Za a cike kowane kwari, a farfashe kowane dutse da kowane tudu. Za a miƙe hanyoyin da suka karkace, a gyaggyara hanyoyi masu gargaɗa su zama sumul.
Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be brought low. The crooked roads will be made straight, and the rough ways will be made smooth.
6 Dukan’yan Adam kuwa za su ga ceton Allah!’”
And all flesh will see the salvation of God.’”
7 Yohanna ya ce wa taron da suke zuwa domin yă yi musu baftisma, “Ku macizai! Wa ya gargaɗe ku, ku guje wa fushin nan mai zuwa?
John said to the crowds that were coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
8 Ku yi ayyukan da suka dace da tuba. Kada ma ku yi tunani za ku iya ce wa kanku, ‘Ai, muna da mahaifinmu Ibrahim.’ Ina gaya muku cewa daga cikin duwatsun nan Allah zai iya tā da’ya’ya wa Ibrahim.
Produce fruit consistent with repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you that God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.
9 An riga an sa bakin gatari a gindin itatuwa, kuma duk itacen da bai ba da’ya’ya masu kyau ba, za a sare shi a jefa cikin wuta.”
Even now the axe is laid at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10 Sai taron suka tambaye shi, suka ce “Me za mu yi ke nan?”
So the crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”
11 Ya amsa ya ce, “Ya kamata, mutumin da yake da riguna biyu, yă raba da wanda ba shi da riga, mai abinci kuma yă yi haka.”
John answered them, “Whoever has two tunics must share with him who has none, and whoever has food must do likewise.”
12 Masu karɓar haraji ma suka zo, domin a yi musu baftisma. Suka yi tambaya, suka ce “Malam, me ya kamata mu yi?”
Some tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?”
13 Ya ce musu, “Kada ku karɓa fiye da abin da aka ce a karɓa.”
He said to them, “Collect no more than what you have been authorized to collect.”
14 Sai waɗansu sojoji suka tambaye shi, “Mu fa? Me ya kamata mu yi?” Sai ya amsa ya ce, “Kada ku ƙwace kuɗin mutane, kada kuma ku yi shaidar ƙarya. Ku yi haƙuri da abin da ake biyanku.”
Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” He said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone by threats or false accusations, and be content with your wages.”
15 Mutane suka zuba ido, suna kuma tunani a zuciyarsu, ko Yohanna ne Kiristi wanda ake sauraron zuwansa.
Now as the people were waiting in expectation and were all questioning in their hearts whether John might be the Christ,
16 Yohanna ya amsa musu duka ya ce, “Ina muku baftisma da ruwa. Amma wani wanda ya fi ni iko yana zuwa, ban ma isa in kunce igiyar takalmansa ba. Shi zai yi muku baftisma da Ruhu Mai Tsarki da wuta kuma.
John answered them all, “I baptize you with water, but one is coming who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
17 Matankaɗinsa yana a hannunsa don yă tankaɗe sussukarsa ya kuma tattara alkama cikin rumbunsa, amma zai ƙone yayin da wutar da ba a iya kashewa.”
His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly clean out his threshing floor and gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.”
18 Da kalmomi masu yawa Yohanna ya yi wa mutane gargaɗi, ya kuma yi musu wa’azin bishara.
With these and many other exhortations John preached good news to the people.
19 Amma da Yohanna ya tsawata wa Hiridus mai mulki saboda Hiridiyas, matar ɗan’uwansa, da kuma dukan sauran mugayen abubuwan da ya yi,
But when John rebuked Herod the tetrarch because of his marriage to Herodias, his brother's wife, and because of all the evils he had done,
20 Hiridus dai ya ƙara ɓata al’amarin. Ya sa a kulle Yohanna a kurkuku.
Herod added this to everything else: He locked John up in prison.
21 Sa’ad da ake wa dukan mutane baftisma, sai aka yi wa Yesu shi ma. Da yana cikin addu’a, sai sama ya buɗe,
Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus had also been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened,
22 Ruhu Mai Tsarki kuma ya sauko masa a wata siffa, kamar kurciya. Sai murya ta fito daga sama, ta ce, “Kai ne Ɗana, wanda nake ƙauna, kai ne kuma kana faranta mini zuciya ƙwarai.”
and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “Yoʋ are my beloved Son; in yoʋ I am well pleased.”
