Luke 3
1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,
Henu, mu mwaka ghwa kumi na tano bhwa utawala bhwa Kaisari Tiberia, wakati Pontio Pilato ajhe gavana ghwa Uyahudi, Herode ajhele mbaha ghwa mkoa ghwa Galilaya, ni Filipo ndogomunu ajhele mbaha ghwa mkoa bhwa Iturea ni Trakoniti, ni Lisania ajhele mbaha ghwa mkoa bhwa Abilene,
2 Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
ni bhwakati bhwa ukuhani mbaha bhwa Anasi ni Kayafa, Lilobhi lya k'yara lyan'hidili Yohana mwana ghwa Zakaria, jangwani.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the immersion of repentance in order to the remission of sins;
Asafiri mu mkoa bhuoha kusyongoka kiholo Yorodani, akihubiri bhubatisu bhwa toba kwandabha jha msamaha bhwa dhambi.
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight;
Kama kya jhilembibhu mu kitabu kya malobhi gha nabii Isaya, “sauti jha munu jha ajhe munyika,” Mujhitengenesiajhi tayari njela jha Bwana, mughatengenesiajhi mapito gha muene ghaghanyokili.
5 every ravine shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made level; and the crooked ways shall be made straight; and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
Kila libondi libeta kujasibhwa, kila kid'onda fibeta kusawazishibhwa, barabara syasibedeme sibeta kunyosibhwa, ni njela sya siparasibhu sibetakulainishibhwa.
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Bhanu bhoha bhibetakubhubhona wokovu bhwa K'yara.”
7 Therefore he said to the multitudes that came out to be immersed by him: Generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
Efyo, Yohana akabhajobhela makutano mabhajha gha bhanu bhabhan'hidili bhabhwesiajhi kubatisibhwa ni muene, “Muenga uzao bhwa lijhoka bhenye sumu, niani abhaonyili kujhijumba gadhabu jhajhihida?
8 Bring forth, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance. And begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.
Muhogolayi matunda ghaghiyendana ni toba, na musijhendi kujobha mgati mwa jhomu, “Tujhe ni Ibrahimu ambajhe Dadi jhitu kwa ndabha nikabhajobhela jha kujha k'yara ibhwesya kunjinulila Ibrahimu bhana hata kutokana ni maganga agha.
9 And now also the ax is lying at the root of the trees; therefore, every tree that does not produce good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire.
Tayari libhagu limelikubhekibhwa mu mzizi bhwa libehe. Efyo, khila libehe lya lihogolalepi matunda manofu, lidumulibhwa ni kutaghibhwa mu muoto.
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying: What, then, shall we do?
Kisha bhanu mu makutano bhan'tokili bhakajobha, “Henu twilondeka tukheta bhuli?”
11 He answered and said to them: He that has two coats, let him give to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise.
Ajibili ni kujobhoha, “Kama munu ajhe ni kanzu sibhele jhilondeka ampelayi kanzu jhimonga jhinu jha adulili, na ambajhe ajhe ni kyakulya na abhombayi mebhu.”
12 And the publicans also came to be immersed, and they said to him: Teacher, what shall we do?
Kisha baadhi jha bhatoza ushuru bhahidili kabhele kubhatisibhwa, na bhan'jobhili, “Mwalimu twilondeka kubhomba kiki?
13 And he said to them: Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
Akabhajobhela, “musikusanyi hela nisu kuliko kya mwilondeka kubhonganiya.”
14 And soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Take nothing from any one by extortion, nor by false accusation, and be content with your pay.
Baadhi jha maaskari kabhele bhakan'kota bhakajobha, “Ni teta je? Twilondeka tuketajhi kiki?” Akabhajobhela, “Musitoli hela kwa munu jhejhioha kwa nghofu, na musin'tuhumu munu jhejhioha kwa udesi. Muridhikayi kwa mishahara jhinu.”
15 While the people were in suspense, and all were reasoning in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not,
Henu, kwa kujha bhanu bhajhele ni shauku jha kundendela Kristo jhaibeta kuhida, khila mmonga akajhaibhwasya mu muoyo bhwa muene kuhusu Yohana kama muene ndo kristo.
16 John answered them all, saying: I indeed immerse you in water; but there comes One mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.
Yohana ajibili ni kubhajobhela bhoha, “Nene nikabhabatisya muenga kwa masi, lakini ajhe mmonga jhaihida ambajhe muene ajhe ni nghofu kuliko nene, na nilondeka lepi hata kuhobhosya mighojhi jha filatu fya muene. Ibeta kubhabatisya muenga kwa Roho mtakatifu ni kwa muoto.
17 His winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his thrashing-floor, and gather the grain into his granary, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
Pepeto lya muene lijhele mumabhoko gha muene bhwa kupepetela ngano ni kujhibhonganiya ngano mu ghala lya muene. Lakini, ibeta kughateketesya makapi kwa muoto ambabho bhwibhwesya lepi kusimika.
18 With many other exhortations he proclaimed the good news to the people.
Kwa maonyo ghangi ghamehele kabhele, ahubiri habari jhinofu kwa bhanu.
19 But Herod the tetrarch having been reproved by him on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and for all the wicked deeds which Herod did,
Yohana an'kemili kabhele Herode mbaha ghwa mkoa kwa kun'gega Herodia, n'dala ghwa ndongo munu ni kwa maovu ghangi ghamehele ambagho Herode aghabhombili.
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Lakini baadajhe Herode abhombili uovu bhongi bhubhibhi sana. An'kongili Yohana muligereza.
21 And it came to pass, while all the people were being immersed, that Jesus also was immersed; and as he was praying, the heaven was opened,
Kisha jhatokili kwamba, wakati bhanu bhoha bhibatisibhwa ni Yohana, ni muene Yesu abatisibhu kabhele. Wakati bho isoka, mbingu syafunguiki.
22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, in a bodily form, like a dove; and there came a voice from heaven, which said: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I delight.
Roho mtakatifu akaselela panani pa muene kwa mfano ghwa kiwiliwili kama njebha, wakati bhobhuobhu sauti ikahida kuhomela kumbinguni jhajobhili, “Bhebhe ghwa mwanabhangu mpendwa. Nipendesibhu sana ni bhebhe.”
23 And Jesus was about thirty years old when he began his ministry, being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, son of Heli,
