Luka 3
1 Woli, mumwaka gwa kumi na tano ogwokukama bhwa Kaisali Tibelia, omwanya ogwo Pontiyo Pilato aliga ali mukama wa Uyaudi, Helode aliga ali mukulu wo mukoa gwa Galilaya, na Filipo mumulawabho aligaali mukulu wo mukowa Ituleya na Tlakoniti, na Lisania aliga ali mukulu wo mukoa gwa Abilene,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Omwanya ogwomugabhisi mukulu owa Anasi na Kayafa, Ligambo lya Nyamuanga lyamwijie Yowana mwana wa Jakaliya, mwibhala.
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 Nalibhata mumukowa gwona okwiinda Yolodani, nalasha obhubhatijwa bhwo kuta kulwokusasibhwa ebhibhibhi
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 Kutyo jandikilwe muchitabho magambo ga Isaya omulagi,”Obhulaka bhwo munu unu kalagilisha mwibhala,”Muichume injla ya Latabhugenyi, mukole injila yae inu imile.
As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
5 Bhuli kolongo elijusibhwa, bhuli bhanga ne bhibhanga ebhinyalambulwa, jinjila jinu jikotele ejigololwa, na jinjila jinu jilina magunguli jilinyalambulilwa.
Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
6 Bhanu bhona bhali bhulola obhwelulo bhwa Nyamuanga.”
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Kulwejo, Yowana nabhwila elikofyanya enene elyabhanu bhanu bhajaga okubhatijwa nage,”Emwe olwibhulo lwa injoka yo bhusungu, niga unu amabhakabhusha okubhilima lisungu linu elija?
Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized by him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Mwibhule amatwasho ganu agagendana no kuta, na mutaja kwaika munda yemwe,”Chinage Ibulaimu unu ali lata weswe; kulwokubha enibhabhwila ati, Nyamuanga katula okumubhonela abhana okusoka ku mabhuyi ganu.
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 of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
9 Nawoli inshoka iteweyo kumisi ja mati. Kulwejo, bhuli ti linu litakwibhula matwasho ga kisi, elitemwa no kweswa mumulilo.
And now also the axe is laid to the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 Nibheya abhanu bha mwiijo nibhamubhusha nibhaikati,”Woli jichiile chikoleki?”
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 Abhasubhishe naikati,”labha omunu ali na nkanju ebhili jimwiile asoshe nkanju imwi ku undi unu atanayo silisili, na unu ali nebhilyo ona nakole kutyo.”
He answereth and saith to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
12 Nibheya amwi ya bhatobhesha bhushulu nibhaja okubhatijwa, na nibhamubhwila ati,”Mwiigisha, jichiile chikole kutiki?
Then came also tax collectors to be baptized, and said to him, Master, what shall we do?
13 Nabhabhwilati, Musige okumanya jiyela kukila kutyo omwendibhwa okukumanya.”
And he said to them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 Na amwi ya bhasilikale ona nibhamubhusha nibhaikati,”Kaoli eswe kutiki? Echendibhwa chikole kutiki?”Nabhabhwilati, Mutaja kugega jiyelaku munu wonawona kwa managa, mutaja kumubheelesha munu wonawona kwo lubheyi. mwihye ne miyelo jemwe”
And the soldiers likewise asked him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
15 Woli, kulwokubha abhanu bhaliga bhano bhwila bhwo kumulinda Kilisto unu alija, bhuli munu aliga neganilisha mumwoyo gwae ingulu ya Yowana labha niwe Kilisto.
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, whether he was the Christ, or not;
16 Yowana nasubhya kwo kubhabhwila bhona ati,”Anye enibhabhatija kwa manji, tali alio umwi unu kaja unu ali na managa kukila anye, na anye niteile kusulumula jingoe je bhilato bhyae. Kabhabhatija emwa kwo mwoyo mwelu na kwomulilo.
John answered, saying to them all, I indeed baptize you in water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire:
17 Lisungulilo lyae lili mumabhoko gae koleleki achumechume kisi owokusungulila ingano no kuikumanya muchitala chae. Tali kasingalisha ingunyu kwo mulilo gunu gutakusima.
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 Kwo kubhatongela agandi mamfu ona, alasishe emisango jo bhwana kubhanu,
And many other things in his exhortation he preached to the people.
19 Yowana amuganyishe ona Helode omukulu wo mukowa kwo kutwala Helodiya, omugasi wo mumula wabho na kwobhunyamuke bhwamfu bhunu Helode aliga nakola.
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
20 Tali eile Helode akolele obhunyamuke obhundi bhubhibhi muno. Namubhoya Yowana mwibhoelo.
Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Njiya njisokanati, omwanya gunu abhanu bhona bhaliga nibhabhatijwa na Yowana, Yesu ona abhatijishwe. Omwanya ogwo asabhilwe, olwile nilwiguka.
Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 Omwoyo Mwelu natuka ingulu yae kulwolususo lwa lilengesi lya inguti, omwanya ogwo obhulaka nibhuja okusoka mulwile nibhwaikati,”Awe ulimwana wani mwendwa. Enikondelwa muno na nawe”
And the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
