Luka 3
1 Mushinja sha lilongu na muhanu wa ukolamlima wa Kaisari Tiberiwu, Pontiwu Pilatu kaweriti mkolamlima gwa Yudeya, Herodi kaweriti mkolamlima gwa mkowa gwa Galilaya na Filipi mlongu gwakuwi kaweriti mkolamlima gwa mikowa ya Itureya na Trakuniti. Lusaniya kaweriti mkolamlima gwa Abileni,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, while his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Iturea and Trachonitis and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 na Anasi na Kayafa waweriti watambika wakulu, shipindi ashi shisoweru sha Mlungu shimwizira Yohani mwana gwa Zakariya kushiwala kulii.
during the high priesthood of Annas (also Caiaphas), the word of God came upon John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 Su Yohana kagenda pahala poseri papaweriti na lushemba Yoridani kaweriti kankubwera pakalonga, “Mleki vidoda vyamtenditi na mkabatizwi, su Mlungu hakawalekiziyi vidoda vyamtenditi.”
So he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins;
4 Ayi ndo yawalembiti mushintola sha mbuyi gwa Mlungu Isaya, “Liziwu lya muntu lipikanika kushiwala, ‘Mumtenderi kala Mtuwa njira yakuwi, mumnyawili weri njira zyakuwi!’”
as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: “A voice calling out: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord in the wilderness, make His paths straight.
5 “‘Kila shibokela hawashifintili, Kila lugongu na shigongu hashipalaswi, Paweriti padusunka hapanyoshwi, Zinjira za vuluvulu hazinyawi.
Every ravine will be filled up, and every mountain and hill will be leveled; the crooked parts of the roads will be straightened out, and the rough parts will be smoothed out;
6 Wantu woseri hawawuwoni ulopoziwu wa Mlungu!’”
and all flesh will see the salvation of God.’”
7 Lipinga lya wantu liziti kwa Yohani su wabatizwi. Yomberi kawagambira, “Mwenga mwashiyiwuku sha wanjoka, kakugambirani gaa mtugi maya ga Mlungu gagiza?
Then he said to the crowds that were coming out to be baptized by him: “You sons of poisonous snakes! Who tipped you off to flee from the coming wrath?
8 Mulanguziyi nakaka ntambu yamutenda handa mleka vidoda vyamtenditi. Namwanja kulonga, ‘Twenga Aburahamu ndo mbuyi gwetu!’ Nukugambirani nakaka, Mlungu tembera katendi ata mabuwi aga gaweri wana wa Aburahamu!
Well then, produce fruits befitting repentance, and don't even begin to say among yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as father,’ because I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!
9 Su vinu liwagu litulwa kala kudumula mishigira ya mitera, na kila mtera gwagulera ndiri mabwajubwaju gaherepa, hagudumulwi na kugwasila mumotu.”
But even now the axe is being laid to the root of the trees; so then, every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10 Wantu wamkosiyiti Yohana Mbatiza, “Su twenga tutendi hashi?”
So the people started asking him, “What then must we do?”
11 Yomberi kawankula, “Yakana nguwu mbili kamupi kahera nguwu na yakana shiboga na yomberi katendi ntambu iraayi.”
In answer he said to them, “He who has two coats, let him share with him who has none; and he who has food should do likewise.”
12 Watola kodi wiziti wabatizwi, wamkosiya, “Mfunda na twenga tutendi hashi?”
Well even tax collectors came to be baptized by him and said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
13 Kawagambira, “Namtola kodi nentu ya shiyasi shawatuliti.”
So He said to them, “Don't charge more than what was determined to you.”
14 Na wamanjagila wamkosiya, “Na twenga tutendi ashi?” Su yomberi kawankula, “Mwenga mleki kuwapoka wantu vintu vyawu, ama kuwasitaka wantu pamuwapayira hera. Mjimili shibena mgongu shampata.”
So the soldiers started asking him too: “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Don't extort or harass anyone, and be content with your wages.”
15 Wantu woseri waweriti wankulolera kwiza kwa Mlopoziya, waweriti wankulikosiya mumyoyu mwawu Yohani, ndo Kristu?
Now as the people were expectant and all were reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether he just might be the Messiah,
16 Paliya Yohani kuwagambira woseri, “Neni nankubatiza kwa mashi, kumbiti kwana muntu kiza kana uwezu kuliku neni. Neni weza ndiri kuyopola lugoyi lwa kutawira shiyatu shakuwi. Mweni ayu hakakubatizani kwa Rohu Mnanagala na kwa motu.
John anticipated them all saying: “I indeed am baptizing you with water, but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal straps I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with Holy Spirit and fire;
17 Yomberi mumawoku mwakuwi kana luselu lwa kupetera, hakayijojiniri nganu na kuitula muluhanja lyakuwi, kumbiti hakatoli miwawi na kuipambira pamotu gwagutenda ndiri tiya.”
whose winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor and gather the wheat into His barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
18 Kwa visoweru vivuwa Yohani kaweriti kankuwabwelera wantu visoweru viheri, kankuwagambira wantu waleki vidoda vyawatenda.
(Indeed, with many other exhortations as well he kept on preaching to the people;
19 Yohani kamkalipiriti Herodi yakaweriti mkola mlima gwa mukowa, toziya kaweriti kamupoka Herodiya yakaweriti mdala gwa mlongu gwakuwi na katenditi vintu vivuwa vidoda nentu.
but Herod the tetrarch—being reproved by him concerning Herodias, his brother's wife, as also about all the wicked things that Herod perpetrated—
20 Su Herodi katenditi shidoda nentu kwa kamtatira Yohani mushibetubetu.
added this also to them all: he actually locked John up in his prison.)
21 Wantu woseri pawawabatiziti kala, Yesu wambatiziti vilavi. Pakaweriti kankuluwa, kumpindi kuvuguka,
Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus, having been baptized also, was praying, when the heaven was opened
22 na Rohu Mnanagala kamsulukira kaweriti gambira mpongu mfanu gwa ngunda, liziwu lipikanika kulawa kumpindi palilonga, “Gwenga gwa mwana gwangu yanukufira. Gunhelepera”
and the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove and rested upon Him, and a Voice came out of heaven saying, “You are my beloved Son; in you I am always well pleased.”
23 Yesu pakanjiti lihengu lyakuwi kaweriti na mivinja milongu mitatu. Su wantu wamaniti hangu, Yesu kaweriti mwana gwa Yosefu na Yosefu kaweriti mwana gwa Heli.
