Luka 3
1 Umwaha, ugwa kumi na tano owalongozye hwakwe Kaisari Tiberia, Pantio Pilato nali liwali owayahudi, na Herode omwene owa Galilaya, no Filipo oholo wakwe omwene uwa Iturea nensi eya Trakoniti, na Lisania no mwene owa Abilene,
And in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, in the presidency of Pontius Pilate in Judaea, while Herod was Tetrarch in Galilee, and Philip his brother Tetrarch in Ituraea and in the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias Tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Wakati owa kohani ogosi owa anasi no Kayafa, izu elya NGOLOBHE lya fishiye oYohana omwana owa Zakaria, mwipoli.
in the high priesthood of Annas and of Caiaphas; the word of God was upon John the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
3 Afishele mnsi yonti yelikaribu ne Yordani, alombeleye owoziwa owa lete usajilwa olwa hwefwe embibhi.
And he came into all the region about the Jordan, proclaiming the baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
4 Neshe shahwasimbilwe chuo eshe mazu aga kuwe Isaya, “Izu ya mntu wali mwipoli, “Lilenganyi idala elya GOSI, gagalosyaji omwashile hwakwe.
As it is written in the book of the discourses of Isaiah the prophet, who said: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord; and make straight paths in the plain for our God.
5 Entebha yonti yayimema nigamba nagamba hayisiwa, papatejile payibha pagoloshe papakwanyushe paile nganiha.
All valleys shall be filled up, and all mountains and hills be lowered; and the hillock shall be levelled down, and the rough place become smooth.
6 Bhonti abhebele bhayihulo owaule owa NGOLOBHE.”
And all flesh shall see the life which is of God.
7 Basi, abhabholele amabongano bhala bhabhaliye ili abhoziwe amwe mpapwo wenzoha wenu yabhasundile amwe ayinjile enkuni yehayenza?
And he said to the multitudes, who came to him to be baptized: Ye progeny of vipers, who hath instructed you to flee from the future wrath?
8 Basi fumyaje amadondo gagahwanziwa ulusajilo, wala mgajeahwanza ayanje mmoyo genyu, “Tilinawo udada uIbrahimu eshi embabhola yaje amawe ega, ONGOLOBHE abhajiye ahwubhosrzye uIbrahimu abhana.
Bring forth, therefore, fruits comporting, with repentance. And begin not to say in yourselves: We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God can, from these stones, raise up sons to Abraham.
9 Neshi etwanga tayari ebhehwelwe pamashinshi age makwi. Basi, kila likwi lya sagalipapa amadondo aminza, lidumlwa nalitaje mmwoto.
And lo, the ax is put to the root of trees. Every tree therefore that beareth not good fruits, is hewed down, and falleth into the fire.
10 Amabungano gabhozya, “Tikhozye wole eshi?”
And the multitudes asked him, and said: What, then, shall we do?
11 Wabhajibu wabhabhozya, “Yali na magolola gabhele na apele yasaga aunigolola yali nevyalye wape abhombe eshoshesho.”
He answered and said to them: Whoever hath two tunics, let him give one to him that hath none; and whoever hath food, let him do the same.
12 Bhabhasonjezya bhape bhenza ahwoziwe, bhabhozya,”Manyiziji, tubhombe yenu ate?
And publicans also came to be baptized. And they said to him: Teacher, what shall we do?
13 Wabhabhola, “Mgaje sonjezye ahantu zaidi ya hata hahapangwilwe.
And he said to them: Exact no more than ye are required to exact.
14 Asikali bhape bhabhozya bhayanga, “ate nate tibhombe wele? Wabhabhole msafwele omntu wala msashitake ilenka antele myanje no mshahara gwenyu.”
And those serving in war inquired of him, and said: And what shall we do? He said to them: Be insolent to no one, and oppress no one, and let your pay satisfy you.
15 Basi, abhantu nabhali bhabhagola gaganzafumile, wonti bhasega sebhaga mmoyo gabho enongwa ezya Yohana nkashe umwene Kristi.
And while the people were thinking of John, and all pondered in their heart, whether he were the Messiah;
16 UYohana wagalula wabhabhozya bhonti lyoli ane embozya namenze lelo ahwenza ohwemaha ashile ane sembwezizye ayengezye olwabho olye vilato vyakwe. omwahale ayibhoziwa hupepo ozelu no mwoto.
John answered and said to them: Behold, I baptize you with water; but after me cometh one mightier than I, the strings of whose shoes I am not worthy to untie; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
17 Afwanaje ubheto lwakwa lulimakho no wape ayozya tee mhati yakwe na bhonganye engano yakwe. Mshanga, antele amapetelo aigapemba mmwoto gwa sagaguzima.
He holdeth his winnowing shovel in his hand, and he will make clean his threshing floor; and the wheat he gathereth into his garners, and the chaff he will burn with fire not extinguished.
18 Basi hurusundo hugamwabho aminji, abhalombeleye abhantu.
And many other things also, he taught and proclaimed to the people.
19 Lelo omwene oHerode akhalipiwe nomwe kwajili ya Herode, ushe wa holo wakwe, namabhibhi gonti gabhombile o Herode.
But Herod the Tetrarch, because he was reproved by John, on account of Herodias the wife of his brother Philip, and on account of all the evil things he had done,
20 Ahonjezye eli neli afunjile oyohani mwijela.
added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Bhabhantu wonti bhabhamaushe ahinziwe no Yesu wape ahoziwe wape alabhile emwanya zya higushe.
And it occurred, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also was baptized. And as he prayed, the heavens were opened;
22 Upepo uzelu ahishile pamwanya yakwe hufwano ongwebelebele, neshe enjebha izu lya fumile amwanya, “Awe wemwana wane wegene. Ensogwezewe nawe.”
and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, in the bodily likeness of a dove: and there was a voice from heaven, which said: Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I have delight.
23 No Yesu yoyo nahandile amanyizye, ali apate umri wakwe neshe amaha salathini. ategemelwa ajemwana wa Yusufu, wa Eli,
