Luke 3
1 Nowe in the fifteenth yeere of the reigne of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being gouernour of Iudea, and Herod being Tetrarch of Galile, and his brother Philip Tetrarch of Iturea, and of the countrey of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the Tetrarch of Abilene,
Lino umwakha gwa kumi na tano ugwa nkilunga kesari Tiberia, imisikhi Pontio Pilati ale gavana va va yuta, Uherode alimbaha va nkoa gwa Galilaya, nu Filipo ulukololwe ale imbaha va unkoa gwa Iturea na kwu Trakoniti, na Lisania ale mmbaha va nkoa gwa Abilene,
2 (When Annas and Caiaphas were the hie Priestes) the worde of God came vnto Iohn, the sonne of Zacharias in the wildernes.
nu nsikhi gwa kuhani umbaha u Anasi nu Kayafa, ilimenyu lya Nguluve likha mwichela u Yohana umwana va Sakhaliya, khulunalawe.
3 And hee came into all the coastes about Iordan, preaching the baptisme of repentance for the remission of sinnes,
Agendile unkoa gwoni ukhuchungula Inyanja Yolidani, alikhulumbilila ulwocho lwa khupela ulusyiekhilo lwa mbivi
4 As it is written in the booke of the sayings of Esaias the Prophet, which saith, The voyce of him that crieth in the wildernes is, Prepare ye the way of the Lord: make his paths straight.
Nduvu yisimbiwe amemenyu mwa myamalago u Isaya, “Elimenyu lya munu uviilela mundunyikha, “Mnochage Injila ya Nkuludeva, Mnochage umwigendela umwene yigolokhage.
5 Euery valley shalbe filled, and euery mountaine and hill shall be brought lowe, and crooked things shalbe made straight, and the rough wayes shalbe made smoothe.
Amaguli goni gisyeliwa, ifyamba nu twamba finovhiwa, imisewe ugubendile gigolokha, ninjila imbivi chigolokha.
6 And all flesh shall see the saluation of God.
Avanu voni yavikhovovona uvupokhi vwa Nguluve.”
7 Then said he to the people that were come out to be baptized of him, O generations of vipers, who hath forewarned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Pwo, Yohana akhavavula anyaulundamano uhivaha lwa vanu uvuvagendile lekhe vochiwe nu mwene, “Umwe mwi khipapo kya njokha muvele ni sumu veni uviavavolile ukhunjila uvuhigi uvuyakhave vukhwicha?
8 Bring foorth therefore fruites worthy amendment of life, and beginne not to say with your selues, We haue Abraham to our father: for I say vnto you, that God is able of these stones to raise vp children vnto Abraham.
Holaga Isekhe khikongana nu lukhuto pwo mlekhe ukhuchova mgati nayomwe, “Tulinu Ibrakimu vi dada veto; ulwakuva ni khuvavula ukhuta Unguluve, iwesya ukhuhalila u Ibrahimu avana ndagave mawe aga.
9 Nowe also is the axe layed vnto the roote of the trees: therefore euery tree which bringeth not foorth good fruite, shalbe hewen downe, and cast into the fire.
Lino isokha yivikhivwe pa malela ga mmbikhi pwu lino umbikhi gwu gwoni ugusagwihola isekhe inonu, gugidiwa nu khutaga mmwoto.
10 Then the people asked him, saying, What shall we doe then?
Pwu avanu palulundamano vakha mbucha vakhata,” Pwu yinogwa tugahendakhikhi?”
11 And he answered, and said vnto them, He that hath two coates, let him part with him that hath none: and hee that hath meate, let him doe likewise.
Akhavanda akhata, “Umunu unyalini khanzu ivili ahumye yimo ampe uyunge uvialivuvule ficho ingave alini khyalya agahe evwo.”
12 Then came there Publicanes also to bee baptized, and saide vnto him, Master, what shall we doe?
Pwu avange avasonga songa vakhicho khwukwochiwa, pwu vakhembula, “Immanyiai, Tunongivwa tugale ndakhekhi?
13 And hee saide vnto them, Require no more then that which is appointed vnto you.
Akhavavula, “Mlekhe ukhutola indalana nyingi ficho icho sayinogiwa ukhutola.”
14 The souldiers likewise demaunded of him, saying, And what shall we doe? And he saide vnto them, Doe violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely, and be content with your wages.
Avange avasikhali navope vakha mbucha, “Na yufwe? Tulondiwa tugahe ndakhe khi?” Akhavavula mlekhe ukhutola khumunu uvi avechaga khumakha khange mlekhe ukisile khumunu uvi avechaga kuvudesi, mkelage ni misahala gyimyo.”
15 As the people waited, and all men mused in their heartes of Iohn, if he were not that Christ,
Pwu lino ulwakhuva avanu vukhale nuvunogwqe vwa khugula u Kristi uviye khave ikwicha, khila akhava isaga munumbula ya mwene ukhuta u Yohana pange iva vi Kristi.
16 Iohn answered, and saide to them all, In deede I baptize you with water, but one stronger then I, commeth, whose shoes latchet I am not worthy to vnloose: hee will baptize you with the holy Ghost, and with fire.
UYohana akhanda akhavavula voni, “Une nikhuvocha umwe na magasi, pwu kwali umpamato ayikwicha uvi alinamakha khulina, khage saninogile ukhuvupola imilegeha gya fikato fya mwene ikwu vocha umwe nu mepo umbalache nu mwoto.
17 Whose fanne is in his hande, and hee will make cleane his floore, and will gather the wheate into his garner, but the chaffe will hee burne vp with fire that neuer shalbe quenched.
Uluhelo lwa mwene lulimmavokho ga mwene ukhonocho vunonu uwanda vwa mwene nu ukhupetela mgano nu khulundamania nkibana kya mwene. Pwu, ayinyunyania amapunji nu mwoto ugwu sagichima.
18 Thus then exhorting with many other things, he preached vnto the people.
Kumavungu agange mingi khange, alikhulumbilila inongwa inonu kwa Yesu.
19 But when Herod the Tetrarch was rebuked of him, for Herodias his brother Philips wife, and for all the euils which Herod had done,
UYohana akhadukha khange khwa Herode umbaha va nkoa pa khutola u Herodia, ichinge nyingi icho Herode alikhuvomba.
20 He added yet this aboue all, that he shut vp Iohn in prison.
Pwu khuvulongolo u Herode akhavomba uvuvivi uvunge uvuvala ficho akhandindila uYohani mligelesya.
21 Nowe it came to passe, as all the people were baptized, and that Iesus was baptized and did pray, that the heauen was opened:
Pwu yikhahumila ukhuta, unsikhu avanu voni upwu valikhwochiwa nu Yohana, na yu Yisu alikhwochiwa. Unsikhi upwa likhwisaya, khukhanya khukhadi ndukha.
22 And the holy Ghost came downe in a bodily shape like a doue, vpon him, and there was a voyce from heauen, saying, Thou art my beloued Sonne: in thee I am well pleased.
Umepo Umbalache akhikha pakhanya pa mwene ikhwoni kya khivili vili kifane njiva, unsikhi gugugwa ilimenyu likhicha ukhuhuma khukhaya iyitu, “Uve mwana vango ugane, ndiganile ficho na yue.”
