Lukka 3
1 Awo mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ettaano ogw’okufuga kwa Kayisaali Tiberiyo, Pontiyo Piraato bwe yali nga ye gavana wa Buyudaaya, Kerode nga y’afuga Ggaliraaya, muganda we Firipo nga y’afuga Italiya ne Tirakoniti, ne Lusaniya nga y’afuga Abireene,
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 Ana ne Kayaafa nga be Bakabona Abasinga Obukulu, Yokaana, mutabani wa Zaakaliya ng’ali mu ddungu, n’afuna obubaka obuva eri Katonda.
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 Yokaana n’atambulanga ng’agenda abuulira mu bitundu ebyetoolodde Yoludaani, ng’ategeeza abantu obubaka obw’okubatizibwa obw’okwenenya olw’okusonyiyibwa ebibi,
And he went into all the surrounding region of the Jordan proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins
4 nga bwe kyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebigambo bya nnabbi Isaaya nti, “Eddoboozi ly’oyo ayogerera mu ddungu nti, Mulongoose ekkubo lya Mukama, Muluŋŋamye amakubo ge;
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 Buli kiwonvu kirijjuzibwa, na buli lusozi n’akasozi birisendebwa, na buli ekyakyama kirigololwa, n’obukubo obulimu obugulumugulumu bulifuuka enguudo ez’omuseetwe.
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 Abalina omubiri bonna baliraba obulokozi bwa Katonda.”
and will behold all flesh the salvation of God.
7 Kyeyava agamba abantu abajjanga gy’ali okubatizibwa nti, “Mmwe abaana b’emisota, ani eyabalabula okudduka obusungu obugenda okujja?
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 Kale mubale ebibala ebiraga nga mwenenyezza, so temwogera munda zammwe nti tulina jjajjaffe Ibulayimu. Kubanga mbagamba nti Katonda asobola, mu mayinja gano, okuggyiramu Ibulayimu abazzukulu.
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 Ne kaakano embazzi eteekeddwa ku kikolo ky’emiti. Noolwekyo buli muti ogutabala bibala birungi gujja kutemebwawo gusuulibwe mu muliro.”
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 Ekibiina ne kimumubuuza nti, “Kale tukole ki?”
And were asking him the crowds saying; What then (shall we do? *N(k)O*)
11 Yokaana n’abaddamu ng’agamba nti, “Alina ekkooti ebbiri, emu agigabire atalina, n’oyo alina emmere aweeko oyo atalina kyakulya.”
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 Awo abasolooza b’omusolo nabo, ne bajja babatizibwe. Ne babuuza Yokaana nti, “Omuyigiriza tukole ki?”
Came then also tax collectors to be baptized and they said to him; Teacher, what (shall we do? *N(k)O*)
13 Yokaana n’abaddamu nti, “Temusoloozanga muwendo gusukka ku ogwo ogwalagibwa.”
And he said to them; Nothing more beyond that appointed to you do collect.
14 Abaserikale nabo ne babuuza Yokaana nti, “Ate ffe, tukole tutya?” Yokaana n’abagamba nti, “Temuggyangako bantu nsimbi zaabwe. So temubawaayirizanga, n’empeera ebaweebwa ebamalenga.”
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 Abantu baali balindirira nga basuubira, era nga buli muntu yeebuuza obanga Yokaana ye Kristo.
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 Yokaana n’addamu bonna ng’agamba nti, “Nze mbabatiza na mazzi, naye waliwo ajja, alina obuyinza okunsinga, n’okusaanira sisaanira na kusumulula lukoba lwa ngatto ze. Oyo alibabatiza n’omuliro ne Mwoyo Mutukuvu;
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 n’olugali luli mu mukono gwe okulongoosa egguuliro lye n’okukuŋŋaanyiza eŋŋaano mu tterekero lye, naye ebisusunku alibyokya n’omuliro ogutazikira.”
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 Yokaana n’abuulirira abantu ebigambo bingi ebirala, nga bw’ababuulira Enjiri.
Many indeed therefore other things exhorting he was evangelising the people.
19 Naye Yokaana bwe yanenya Kerode, omufuzi, olw’okutwala Kerodiya eyali muka muganda we, n’olw’ebibi ebirala Kerode bye yali akoze,
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 ate ku ebyo byonna Kerode n’ayongerako na kino: n’akwata Yokaana n’amuggalira mu kkomera.
added yet this to all: Also he locked up John in (*k*) prison.
21 Olunaku lumu, abantu bonna abaaliwo nga babatizibwa, ne Yesu n’abatizibwa. Yesu n’asaba, eggulu ne libikkuka,
It came to pass now in baptizing all the people and when Jesus having been baptized and having prayed [was] opening the heaven
22 Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’amukkako mu kifaananyi eky’ejjiba. Eddoboozi ne liva mu ggulu ne ligamba nti, “Ggwe Mwana wange omwagalwa gwe nsanyukira ennyo.”
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.
