Luka 3
1 Henu, mu mwaka ghwa kumi na tano bhwa utawala bhwa Kaisari Tiberia, wakati Pontio Pilato ajhe gavana ghwa Uyahudi, Herode ajhele mbaha ghwa mkoa ghwa Galilaya, ni Filipo ndogomunu ajhele mbaha ghwa mkoa bhwa Iturea ni Trakoniti, ni Lisania ajhele mbaha ghwa mkoa bhwa 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 the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 ni bhwakati bhwa ukuhani mbaha bhwa Anasi ni Kayafa, Lilobhi lya k'yara lyan'hidili Yohana mwana ghwa Zakaria, jangwani.
in the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 Asafiri mu mkoa bhuoha kusyongoka kiholo Yorodani, akihubiri bhubatisu bhwa toba kwandabha jha msamaha bhwa dhambi.
And he came into all the region round about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins;
4 Kama kya jhilembibhu mu kitabu kya malobhi gha nabii Isaya, “sauti jha munu jha ajhe munyika,” Mujhitengenesiajhi tayari njela jha Bwana, mughatengenesiajhi mapito gha muene ghaghanyokili.
as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.
5 Kila libondi libeta kujasibhwa, kila kid'onda fibeta kusawazishibhwa, barabara syasibedeme sibeta kunyosibhwa, ni njela sya siparasibhu sibetakulainishibhwa.
Every valley shall be filled, And every mountain and hill shall be brought low; And the crooked shall become straight, And the rough ways smooth;
6 Bhanu bhoha bhibetakubhubhona wokovu bhwa K'yara.”
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Efyo, Yohana akabhajobhela makutano mabhajha gha bhanu bhabhan'hidili bhabhwesiajhi kubatisibhwa ni muene, “Muenga uzao bhwa lijhoka bhenye sumu, niani abhaonyili kujhijumba gadhabu jhajhihida?
He said therefore to the multitudes that went out to be baptized of him, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Muhogolayi matunda ghaghiyendana ni toba, na musijhendi kujobha mgati mwa jhomu, “Tujhe ni Ibrahimu ambajhe Dadi jhitu kwa ndabha nikabhajobhela jha kujha k'yara ibhwesya kunjinulila Ibrahimu bhana hata kutokana ni maganga agha.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 Tayari libhagu limelikubhekibhwa mu mzizi bhwa libehe. Efyo, khila libehe lya lihogolalepi matunda manofu, lidumulibhwa ni kutaghibhwa mu muoto.
And even now is the axe also laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 Kisha bhanu mu makutano bhan'tokili bhakajobha, “Henu twilondeka tukheta bhuli?”
And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
11 Ajibili ni kujobhoha, “Kama munu ajhe ni kanzu sibhele jhilondeka ampelayi kanzu jhimonga jhinu jha adulili, na ambajhe ajhe ni kyakulya na abhombayi mebhu.”
And he answered and said unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
12 Kisha baadhi jha bhatoza ushuru bhahidili kabhele kubhatisibhwa, na bhan'jobhili, “Mwalimu twilondeka kubhomba kiki?
And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Master, what must we do?
13 Akabhajobhela, “musikusanyi hela nisu kuliko kya mwilondeka kubhonganiya.”
And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you.
14 Baadhi jha maaskari kabhele bhakan'kota bhakajobha, “Ni teta je? Twilondeka tuketajhi kiki?” Akabhajobhela, “Musitoli hela kwa munu jhejhioha kwa nghofu, na musin'tuhumu munu jhejhioha kwa udesi. Muridhikayi kwa mishahara jhinu.”
And soldiers also asked him, saying, And we, what must we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither exact [anything] wrongfully; and be content with your wages.
15 Henu, kwa kujha bhanu bhajhele ni shauku jha kundendela Kristo jhaibeta kuhida, khila mmonga akajhaibhwasya mu muoyo bhwa muene kuhusu Yohana kama muene ndo kristo.
And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;
16 Yohana ajibili ni kubhajobhela bhoha, “Nene nikabhabatisya muenga kwa masi, lakini ajhe mmonga jhaihida ambajhe muene ajhe ni nghofu kuliko nene, na nilondeka lepi hata kuhobhosya mighojhi jha filatu fya muene. Ibeta kubhabatisya muenga kwa Roho mtakatifu ni kwa muoto.
John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and [with] fire:
17 Pepeto lya muene lijhele mumabhoko gha muene bhwa kupepetela ngano ni kujhibhonganiya ngano mu ghala lya muene. Lakini, ibeta kughateketesya makapi kwa muoto ambabho bhwibhwesya lepi kusimika.
whose fan is in his hand, throughly to cleanse his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
18 Kwa maonyo ghangi ghamehele kabhele, ahubiri habari jhinofu kwa bhanu.
With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto the people;
19 Yohana an'kemili kabhele Herode mbaha ghwa mkoa kwa kun'gega Herodia, n'dala ghwa ndongo munu ni kwa maovu ghangi ghamehele ambagho Herode aghabhombili.
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 Lakini baadajhe Herode abhombili uovu bhongi bhubhibhi sana. An'kongili Yohana muligereza.
added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Kisha jhatokili kwamba, wakati bhanu bhoha bhibatisibhwa ni Yohana, ni muene Yesu abatisibhu kabhele. Wakati bho isoka, mbingu syafunguiki.
Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 Roho mtakatifu akaselela panani pa muene kwa mfano ghwa kiwiliwili kama njebha, wakati bhobhuobhu sauti ikahida kuhomela kumbinguni jhajobhili, “Bhebhe ghwa mwanabhangu mpendwa. Nipendesibhu sana ni bhebhe.”
and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily form, as a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
23 Henu Yesu muene, bhoajhandi kufundisya, ajhele ni umri upatao miaka thelathini. Ajhele mwana (kama kyajhejobhibhu) ghwa Yusufu, mwana ghwa Eli,
