Lukha 3
1 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,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 nu nsikhi gwa kuhani umbaha u Anasi nu Kayafa, ilimenyu lya Nguluve likha mwichela u Yohana umwana va Sakhaliya, khulunalawe.
in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness.
3 Agendile unkoa gwoni ukhuchungula Inyanja Yolidani, alikhulumbilila ulwocho lwa khupela ulusyiekhilo lwa mbivi
He came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
4 Nduvu yisimbiwe amemenyu mwa myamalago u Isaya, “Elimenyu lya munu uviilela mundunyikha, “Mnochage Injila ya Nkuludeva, Mnochage umwigendela umwene yigolokhage.
As it is written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord. Make his roads straight.
5 Amaguli goni gisyeliwa, ifyamba nu twamba finovhiwa, imisewe ugubendile gigolokha, ninjila imbivi chigolokha.
Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be made low, and the crooked will be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.
6 Avanu voni yavikhovovona uvupokhi vwa Nguluve.”
And all humanity will see the salvation of God.'"
7 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?
He said therefore to the crowds who went out to be baptized by him, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 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.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say among yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father;' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
9 Lino isokha yivikhivwe pa malela ga mmbikhi pwu lino umbikhi gwu gwoni ugusagwihola isekhe inonu, gugidiwa nu khutaga mmwoto.
Even now the axe also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire."
10 Pwu avanu palulundamano vakha mbucha vakhata,” Pwu yinogwa tugahendakhikhi?”
The crowds asked him, "What then must we do?"
11 Akhavanda akhata, “Umunu unyalini khanzu ivili ahumye yimo ampe uyunge uvialivuvule ficho ingave alini khyalya agahe evwo.”
He answered them, "He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise."
12 Pwu avange avasonga songa vakhicho khwukwochiwa, pwu vakhembula, “Immanyiai, Tunongivwa tugale ndakhekhi?
Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what must we do?"
13 Akhavavula, “Mlekhe ukhutola indalana nyingi ficho icho sayinogiwa ukhutola.”
He said to them, "Collect no more than that which is appointed to you."
14 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.”
Soldiers also asked him, saying, "What about us? What must we do?" He said to them, "Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages."
15 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.
As the people were in expectation, and all were wondering in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Christ,
16 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.
John answered them all, "I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire,
17 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.
whose winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
18 Kumavungu agange mingi khange, alikhulumbilila inongwa inonu kwa Yesu.
Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,
19 UYohana akhadukha khange khwa Herode umbaha va nkoa pa khutola u Herodia, ichinge nyingi icho Herode alikhuvomba.
but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
20 Pwu khuvulongolo u Herode akhavomba uvuvivi uvunge uvuvala ficho akhandindila uYohani mligelesya.
added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Pwu yikhahumila ukhuta, unsikhu avanu voni upwu valikhwochiwa nu Yohana, na yu Yisu alikhwochiwa. Unsikhi upwa likhwisaya, khukhanya khukhadi ndukha.
Now it happened, when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying. The sky was opened,
22 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.”
and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form as a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying "You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased."
23 Pwu u Yisu yuywa avile tenguluve ukhumanyisya akhale ni miakha salasini. Ale mwana (nauvu yivalile) uva Yusufu, mwana va Eli,
