Luuka 3
1 lino mu mwaka ghwa kijigho na ghahaano mu vutavulua vwa kaisali Tibelia, unsiki ghuno uPontio Pilato alyale ghavana ghwa vaYahudi, uHelode alyale m'baha ghwa vughavo a vwa Galilaya, nu Filipo unyalukola ghwake alyale m'baha ghwa vughavo vwa Itulea ni kya Tulakoniti, nu Lisania alyale m'baha ghwa vughavo vwa Abilene.
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother was tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,
2 nu n'siki ghwa gha vutekesi uvukulu vwa Anasi nuKayafa, iliso lya Nguluve likamwisila uYohani umwana ghwa Sakalia ku lihaka.
during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
3 akakyulile mu vughavo vwoni kusyuta ikikogha Yoldani, akidalikila ulwofugho lwa kulata vwimila ulusaghilo lwa vuhosi.
He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins,
4 ndavule jilembilue mu kilembe kya masio gha m'bili Yesaya kuuti,” ilisio lwa muunhu juno ali kulihaka” muvombaghe vunono mu sila ja Mutwa, muvombaghe vunono mu maghendele amagholofu.
as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord; make his paths straight.
5 ifivonde fyoni filimemesevua, ifidunda fililimua, amasevo ghano ghabindile ghigholosivua, ni sila sino sili na manina sisyilua.
Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be brought low. The crooked roads will be made straight, and the rough ways will be made smooth.
6 avaanhu voni vilukuvwagha uvuvangi vwa Nguluve”
And all flesh will see the salvation of God.’”
7 pe uYohani akalivuula ilipugha ilikome lwa vaanhu vano vakisile neke vofughue nu mwene, mwe vaholua mu kisina kya njoka isinya miino makali, ghwe veni juno avasyovile kujikimbila ing'alasi jino jikwisa.
John said to the crowds that were coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
8 muholaghe imheeke inofu, kange namungajovaghe mu numbula sinu kuuti,' tulinaghwo uAbulahamu juno ghwe baba ghwitu, uNguluve iwesia kukumwimikisia uAbulahamu avaanha nambe kuhumilanila na mavue agha.
Produce fruit consistent with repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you that God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.
9 tayale inemo jivikilue pa lilela lya mpiki. pe amapiki ghoni ghano naghihola imheke inono, lidumulivua na kutaghua ku mwoto,
Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10 pe avaanhu mu lipugha vakamposia vakati, “lino lunoghile tuvombe ndani?”
So the crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”
11 akavamula akati, “ndeve umuunhu ali ni kanju ivili anoghile afule jimo kwa junge juno nsila namne jimo, na juno alinikyakulia ghwope avombe vule vule”
John answered them, “Whoever has two tunics must share with him who has none, and whoever has food must do likewise.”
12 pepano avasongesia songo vamonga vakisile vope kukufughua, vakam'bula vakati, “m'bulanisi, lunoghile tuvombe ndani?
Some tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?”
13 akavavula, “namugakong'aniaghe indalama fiijo kukila kino kinoghile kukong'ania.
He said to them, “Collect no more than what you have been authorized to collect.”
14 avasikali vamonga vope vakamposia vakatisagha, “pe nusue? tunoghile tuvombe ndani?” akavavula akati,” namungatolaghe indalama kwa muunhu ghweni ku ngufu, namungahighaghe umuunhu ghweni ku vudesi. mukwilanaghe nu luhombo lwinu”
Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” He said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone by threats or false accusations, and be content with your wages.”
15 lino, ulwakuva avaanhu valyale nu lunoghelua ulwa kumughula uKilisite juno ikwisa, kila muunhu isagha mu mwojo ghwake kuva ndeve uYohani ghwe Kilisite.
Now as the people were waiting in expectation and were all questioning in their hearts whether John might be the Christ,
16 uYohani akavamula vooni akati, “une nikuvofugha umue na malenga, neke kwale jumo juno ikwisa ali ni ngufu kukila une, kange naninoghile nambe kupinya ingoji sa filatu fyake. ikuvofugha umue ku mwoto ghwa Mhepo uMwimike.
John answered them all, “I baptize you with water, but one is coming who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
17 ilihelo lyake lili muluvoko lwake neke kupeeta vunono amasanji gha ngano na kujikong'ania vunono mu kihenge kyamwene. neke inyanya amasanji ku mwoto ghuno nambe naghusimika.
His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly clean out his threshing floor and gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.”
18 mu mbulanisio isingi nyinga alyadalikile imhola inofu ku vaanhu.
With these and many other exhortations John preached good news to the people.
19 uYohani alyadalikile uHelode um'baha ghwa vughavo kwa kukuntoola uHelodia un'dala ghwa nyalukolo ghwake na kuvuhosi uvunge vwinga vuno uHelode alyavombile.
But when John rebuked Herod the tetrarch because of his marriage to Herodias, his brother's wife, and because of all the evils he had done,
20 neke pambele kange uHelode alyavombile uvuhosi uvunge uvuvivi kyongo. akan'dindila uYohani mu ndinde.
Herod added this to everything else: He locked John up in prison.
21 pe lukahumile kang kuuti, unsiki avaanhu vooni valyale vikwofughua nu Yohani, ghwope uYesu kange akofughue. unsiki ghuno akale ikufunya ikyanya jikadinduka.
Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus had also been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened,
22 uMhepo uMwimike akika n'kyanya jaake ku kihwani kya m'bili hwene king'undya, nu n'siki ghughughuo ilisio likisa kuhuma kukyanya likatisagha, “uve veve n'swambango mughanike, uninoghiile kyongo une.
and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “Yoʋ are my beloved Son; in yoʋ I am well pleased.”
