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, while his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Iturea and Trachonitis and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
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.
2 during the high priesthood of Annas (also Caiaphas), the word of God came upon John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
nu n'siki ghwa gha vutekesi uvukulu vwa Anasi nuKayafa, iliso lya Nguluve likamwisila uYohani umwana ghwa Sakalia ku lihaka.
3 So he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins;
akakyulile mu vughavo vwoni kusyuta ikikogha Yoldani, akidalikila ulwofugho lwa kulata vwimila ulusaghilo lwa vuhosi.
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: “A voice calling out: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord in the wilderness, make His paths straight.
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.
5 Every ravine will be filled up, and every mountain and hill will be leveled; the crooked parts of the roads will be straightened out, and the rough parts will be smoothed out;
ifivonde fyoni filimemesevua, ifidunda fililimua, amasevo ghano ghabindile ghigholosivua, ni sila sino sili na manina sisyilua.
6 and all flesh will see the salvation of God.’”
avaanhu voni vilukuvwagha uvuvangi vwa Nguluve”
7 Then he said to the crowds that were coming out to be baptized by him: “You sons of poisonous snakes! Who tipped you off to flee from the coming wrath?
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.
8 Well then, produce fruits befitting repentance, and don't even begin to say among yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as father,’ because I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!
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.
9 But even now the axe is being laid to the root of the trees; so then, every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
tayale inemo jivikilue pa lilela lya mpiki. pe amapiki ghoni ghano naghihola imheke inono, lidumulivua na kutaghua ku mwoto,
10 So the people started asking him, “What then must we do?”
pe avaanhu mu lipugha vakamposia vakati, “lino lunoghile tuvombe ndani?”
11 In answer he said to them, “He who has two coats, let him share with him who has none; and he who has food should do likewise.”
akavamula akati, “ndeve umuunhu ali ni kanju ivili anoghile afule jimo kwa junge juno nsila namne jimo, na juno alinikyakulia ghwope avombe vule vule”
12 Well even tax collectors came to be baptized by him and said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
pepano avasongesia songo vamonga vakisile vope kukufughua, vakam'bula vakati, “m'bulanisi, lunoghile tuvombe ndani?
13 So He said to them, “Don't charge more than what was determined to you.”
akavavula, “namugakong'aniaghe indalama fiijo kukila kino kinoghile kukong'ania.
14 So the soldiers started asking him too: “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Don't extort or harass anyone, and be content with your wages.”
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”
15 Now as the people were expectant and all were reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether he just might be the Messiah,
lino, ulwakuva avaanhu valyale nu lunoghelua ulwa kumughula uKilisite juno ikwisa, kila muunhu isagha mu mwojo ghwake kuva ndeve uYohani ghwe Kilisite.
16 John anticipated them all saying: “I indeed am baptizing you with water, but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal straps I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with Holy Spirit and fire;
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.
17 whose winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor and gather the wheat into His barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
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.
18 (Indeed, with many other exhortations as well he kept on preaching to the people;
mu mbulanisio isingi nyinga alyadalikile imhola inofu ku vaanhu.
19 but Herod the tetrarch—being reproved by him concerning Herodias, his brother's wife, as also about all the wicked things that Herod perpetrated—
uYohani alyadalikile uHelode um'baha ghwa vughavo kwa kukuntoola uHelodia un'dala ghwa nyalukolo ghwake na kuvuhosi uvunge vwinga vuno uHelode alyavombile.
20 added this also to them all: he actually locked John up in his prison.)
neke pambele kange uHelode alyavombile uvuhosi uvunge uvuvivi kyongo. akan'dindila uYohani mu ndinde.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus, having been baptized also, was praying, when the heaven was opened
pe lukahumile kang kuuti, unsiki avaanhu vooni valyale vikwofughua nu Yohani, ghwope uYesu kange akofughue. unsiki ghuno akale ikufunya ikyanya jikadinduka.
22 and the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove and rested upon Him, and a Voice came out of heaven saying, “You are my beloved Son; in you I am always well pleased.”
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.
