Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip being tetrarch of the region belonging to Ituraea, and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias being tetrarch of Abilene,
Shaka sha kumi na nng'ano sha tagwala kwabho a Kaishali Tibhelio, a Pontio Pilato pubhaliji bhakulungwa bha shilambo sha ku Yudea. A Elode pubhaliji bhakulungwa bha shilambo sha ku Galilaya, na akulubhabho a Pilipi pubhaliji bhakulungwa bha ilambo ya ku Itulea na ku Tilakoniti. A Lishaniashi pubhaaliji bhakulungwa bha shilambo sha ku Abhilene,
2 in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to be in John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
a Anashi na a Kayapa pubhalinginji bhakulungwanji bha bhaabhishila. Gene mobhago a Yowana bhanabhabho a Shakalia gulyajiile lilobhe lya a Nnungu kuanga kula.
3 And he came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching an immersion of repentance for remission of sins,
Bhai a Yowana gubhapite mitala jowe jipikene na lushi lwa Yolodani bhalilunguya kuti, bhandu bhalekanje yambi yabhonji na bhatishwa, nkupinga a Nnungu bhaaleshelelanje yambi yabhonji.
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, which says, The voice of a man crying out in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.
Malinga shiishite jandikwa nshitabhu sha a Ishaya a nkulondola, “Lilobhe lika mundu linapilikanika kuanga. ‘Mwaalashiyanje Bhakulungwa mpanda gwabho. Nngoloyanje mushibhapite.
5 Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be brought low. And the crooked things will be into straight and the rough into smooth ways.
Kila liimbo shilikulilwe, Kila shitumbi na shikweya shiilinganywe. Papindile shipagoloywe, Mipanda jangali ja mmbone jipinga alaywa.
6 And all flesh will see the salvation of God.
Na, bhandu bhowe shibhaubhonanje ntapulo gwa a Nnungu.’”
7 He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be immersed by him, Ye offspring of vipers, who showed you to flee from the coming wrath?
Bhai a Yowana gubhaabhalanjilenje bhandu bhabhagwinji bhaikanganaga kuubhatishwa, kuti “Mmanganya bhana bha lijoka! Gani ammalanjilenje nnjibhutukanje nnjimwa ja a Nnungu jikwiya?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have a father, Abraham. For I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Bhai nnanguyanje kwa itendi kuti mwiipetilenje yambi yenunji nikwaabhujila a Nnungu. Nnatandubhanje kwibheleketela kuti ‘Uwe a Bhulaimu ainabhetu!’ Numbe ngunakummalanjilanga, a Nnungu bhanakombola kugayuya magangaga nibha bhana bha a Bhulaimu.
9 And even now the axe is laid at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore not making good fruit is cut down, and cast into fire.
Bhai nnaino, libhago libhishilwe mmatepo ga mikongo, kupinga kuushelanya nkongo. Kila nkongo ukaogoya iepo ya mmbone upinga shelwa nileshelwa pa moto.”
10 And the crowds questioned him, saying, What then shall we do?
Lugwinjili lwa bhandu lukwaabhuyaga, “Bhai tutende bhuli?”
11 And having answered, he says to them, He who has two coats, let him share with him not having, and he who has food, let him do likewise.
A Yowana gubhaajangwilenje. “Akwete nngubho ibhili anngabhile jwangali ngubhojo, akwete shalya atende nneyo peyo.”
12 And tax collectors also came to be immersed, and they said to him, Teacher, what should we do?
Numbe bhakamula koli gubhaikengenenje kupinga kubhatishwa, gubhaabhushiyenje, “Tutende bhuli mmaajiganya?”
13 And he said to them, Collect not one thing more than from what has been appointed for you.
Numbe a Yowana gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Nnalonganje koli japunda jimmalanjilwenje.”
14 And men who were soldiers also questioned him, saying, And we, what should we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no man, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.
Numbe ashimanjola na bhalabhonji gubhaabhushiyenje, “Na uwe tutende ndi?” Gubhaajangulenje, “Nnatolanje indu ikamundu jojowe kwa mashili wala nnanshitakiyanje mundu kwa kunnambilila. Ntogolelanje na mishaala jenunji.”
15 And as the people were expectant, and all pondering in their hearts about John, if perhaps he was the Christ,
Bhandu bhatendaga lolelanga kwiya kwa bhaagombola, bhai gubhatandubhenje kwiibhuyanga mmitima jabhonji, pana a Yowana bha ni a Kilishitu.
16 John responded, saying to them all, I indeed immerse you in water, but a man mightier than I comes, of whom I am not worthy to unloose the strap of his shoes. He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and fire,
Penepo a Yowana gubhaabhalanjilenje bhowe, “Nne ngunakumbhatishanga na mashi, ikabheje bhanakwiya bhakwete mashili kumbunda nne, numbe nne nangatopela nkali kubha ntumishi jwabho. Bhenebho shibhambhatishanje kwa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo na kwa moto.
17 whose winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will gather the wheat into his storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
Bhenebho bhashikamula nkubhato mmakono gabho, bhalipinga kubhata yalya yabho na peta, ngano bhakabhishe munngokwe na maashe gangali shindu nijoka pa moto gwangaimika piti piti.”
18 Indeed therefore, also exhorting the people with many other things, he preached the good news.
Bhai kwa genego na miungu jina jamigwinji, a Yowana bhakwaalungushiyangaga bhandunji Ngani ja Mmbone.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him about Herodias his brother's wife, and about all of which evil things Herod had done,
Ikabheje a Yowana bhashinkwaakalipila bhakulungwa a Elode, kwa ligongo lya kwaatola shilombani a Elodia, bhaliji akongobhabho akulubhabho na indu ina yangali ya mmbone ibhaitendekanyaga.
20 also added this to them all, he even locked up John in prison.
Kungai a Elode akuno bhalipunda kwitendekanya yangali ya mmbone, nigubhaatabhile a Yowana.
21 Now it came to pass, during the immersion of all the people, Jesus also having been immersed and praying, for the heaven to be opened,
Bhandu bhowe bhakamalanjeje kubhatishwa, a Yeshu na bhalabho bhakubhatishwaga. Na pubhaaliji bhalijuga kwa a Nnungu, kunnungu kukuugukaga,
22 and the Holy Spirit to descend in a bodily form as a dove upon him, and a voice to occur out of heaven, saying, Thou are my beloved Son. In thee I am well pleased.
na Mbumu Jwa Ukonjelo akwaatulushilaga alibhoneka mbuti ngunda. Lilobhe likupilikanikaga kukopoka kunnungu. “Ugwe mwanangu junguupinga, unonyela.”
23 And Jesus himself was beginning to be about thirty years old, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,
