Luka 3
1 Katika mwaka wa kumi na tano wa utawala wa Kaisari Tiberio, Pontio Pilato akiwa mtawala wa Uyahudi, Herode akiwa mfalme wa Galilaya, Filipo ndugu yake akiwa mfalme wa Iturea na nchi ya Trakoniti, na Lisania akiwa mfalme wa Abilene,
In the fiftenthe yeare of the raygne of Tiberius the Emperoure Pontius Pylate beinge leftenaut of Iurie and Herode beinge Tetrach of Galile and his brother Philip Tetrach in Iturea and in the region of Traconites and Lysanias the Tetrach of Abyline
2 nao Anasi na Kayafa wakiwa makuhani wakuu, neno la Mungu likamjia Yohana, mwana wa Zekaria huko jangwani.
when Anna and Cayphas were the hye prestes: the worde of God came vnto Iohn ye sonne of zacharias in the wildernes.
3 Akaenda katika nchi yote kandokando ya Mto Yordani, akihubiri ubatizo wa toba kwa ajili ya msamaha wa dhambi.
And he came in to all the coostes aboute Iordan preachynge the baptyme of repentaunce for the remission of synnes
4 Kama ilivyoandikwa katika kitabu cha nabii Isaya: “Sauti ya mtu aliaye nyikani, ‘Itengenezeni njia ya Bwana, yanyoosheni mapito yake.
at it is written in the boke of the sayinges of Esaias ye Prophet which sayeth: The voyce of a cryar in wyldernes prepare the waye of the Lorde make hys pathes strayght.
5 Kila bonde litajazwa, kila mlima na kilima vitashushwa. Njia zilizopinda zitanyooshwa, na zilizoparuza zitasawazishwa.
Every valley shalbe fylled and every moutayne and hyll shalbe brought lowe. And crocked thinges shalbe made streight: and the rough wayes shalbe made smoth:
6 Nao watu wote watauona wokovu wa Mungu.’”
and all flesshe shall se the saveour sent of God.
7 Yohana akauambia ule umati wa watu uliokuwa unakuja ili kubatizwa naye, “Ninyi watoto wa nyoka! Ni nani aliyewaonya kuikimbia ghadhabu inayokuja?
Then sayde he to the people that were come to be baptysed of him: O generacion of vipers who hath taught you to flye from the wrath to come?
8 Basi zaeni matunda yastahiliyo toba. Wala msianze kusema mioyoni mwenu kuwa, ‘Sisi tunaye Abrahamu, baba yetu.’ Kwa maana nawaambia kuwa Mungu anaweza kumwinulia Abrahamu watoto kutoka mawe haya.
Bringe forth due frutes of repentaunce and begynne not to saye in youre selves we have Abraham to oure father. For I saye vnto you: God is able of these stones to reyse vp chyldren vnto Abraham.
9 Hata sasa shoka limeshawekwa tayari kwenye shina la kila mti. Basi kila mti usiozaa matunda mazuri hukatwa na kutupwa motoni.”
Now also ys the axe leyd vnto the rote of the trees: so yt every tree which bringeth not forth good frute shalbe hewe doune and caste in to ye fyre.
10 Ule umati wa watu ukamuuliza, “Inatupasa tufanyeje basi?”
And the people axed him sayinge: What shall we do then?
11 Yohana akawaambia, “Aliye na kanzu mbili amgawie asiye nayo, naye aliye na chakula na afanye vivyo hivyo.”
He answered and sayde vnto them: He that hath two coottes let him parte with him that hath none: and he that hath meate let him do lyke wyse.
12 Watoza ushuru nao wakaja ili wabatizwe, wakamuuliza, “Bwana na sisi inatupasa tufanyeje?”
Then came ther Publicans to be baptised and sayde vnto him: Master what shall we do?
13 Akawaambia, “Msichukue zaidi ya kiwango mlichopangiwa.”
And he sayde vnto the: requyre no more then that which ys appoynted vnto you.
14 Askari nao wakamuuliza, “Je, nasi inatupasa tufanye nini?” Akawaambia, “Msimdhulumu mtu wala msimshtaki mtu kwa uongo, bali mridhike na mishahara yenu.”
The soudyoures lyke wyse demaunded of hym sayinge: and what shall we do? And he sayde to them: Do violence to noo ma: nether trouble eny man wrongfully: but be content with youre wages.
15 Watu walikuwa na matazamio makubwa. Wakawa wanajiuliza mioyoni mwao iwapo Yohana angeweza kuwa ndiye Kristo.
As the people were in a doute and all men disputed in their hertes of Iohn whether he were very Christ:
16 Yohana akawajibu akawaambia, “Mimi nawabatiza kwa maji. Lakini atakuja aliye na nguvu kuniliko mimi, ambaye sistahili hata kufungua kamba za viatu vyake. Yeye atawabatiza kwa Roho Mtakatifu na kwa moto.
Ihon answered and sayde to them all: I baptyse you wt water but a stronger then I cometh after me whose shue latchet I am not worthy to vnlouse: he will baptise you with the holy goost and with fyre:
17 Pepeto lake liko mkononi, tayari kusafisha sakafu yake ya kupuria na kuikusanya ngano ghalani, lakini makapi atayateketeza kwa moto usiozimika.”
which hath his fanne in his hond and will pourge his floore and will gader the corne into his barne: but the chaffe wyll he bourne with fyre that never shalbe quenched.
18 Basi, kwa maonyo mengine mengi Yohana aliwasihi na kuwahubiria watu Habari Njema.
And many other thinges in his exhortacion preached he vnto the people.
19 Lakini Yohana alipomkemea Mfalme Herode kuhusu uhusiano wake na Herodia, mke wa ndugu yake, na maovu mengine aliyokuwa amefanya,
Then Herode the Tetrach (when he was rebuked of him for Herodias his brother Philippes wyfe and for all the evyls which Herod had done)
20 Herode aliongezea jambo hili kwa hayo mengine yote: alimfunga Yohana gerezani.
added this above all and leyd Iohn in preson.
21 Baada ya watu wote kubatizwa, Yesu naye akabatizwa. Naye alipokuwa akiomba, mbingu zilifunguka.
And yt fortuned as all the people receaved baptyme (and when Iesus was baptised and dyd praye) that heave was opened
22 Roho Mtakatifu akashuka juu yake kwa umbo kama la hua, nayo sauti kutoka mbinguni ikasema: “Wewe ni Mwanangu mpendwa; nami nimependezwa nawe sana.”
and the holy goost came doune in a bodely shape lyke a dove vpo him and a voyce came fro heve sayinge: Thou arte my dere sonne in the do I delyte.
