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,
Mme e rile mo ngwageng ya lesome le botlhano ya puso ya ga kgosi kgolo Teberio Kaefase, molaetsa wa tla mo go Johane (morwa Sakarea) ka a ne a nna kwa ntle mo dikakeng (Pilatwe e ne e le mmusi mo Judea ka lobaka loo; Herode e le mmusi mo Galalea, monnawe Filipo e le mmusi mo Iturea le Trakoniti; Lusaniase e le mmusi mo Abilene; Anase le Kaeafase e le baperesiti ba bagolo ba Sejuta).
2 (When Annas and Caiaphas were the hie Priestes) the worde of God came vnto Iohn, the sonne of Zacharias in the wildernes.
3 And hee came into all the coastes about Iordan, preaching the baptisme of repentance for the remission of sinnes,
Hong Johane a tsamaya gongwe le gongwe mo ditlhakoreng tsoopedi tsa noka ya Jorodane, a rera gore batho ba tshwanetse go kolobediwa go supa gore ba sokologetse mo Modimong, ebile ba sokologile mo dibeng tsa bone, gore ba tle ba itshwarelwe.
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.
Mo mafokong a ga moporofiti Isaia, Johane e ne, “E le lentswe le le kuang mo sekakeng, le re baakanyang tsela e Morena o tlaa tsamayang mo go yone! Mo katolosetseng tsela.
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.
Ritibatsang dithaba! Katelang melatswana! Tlhamalatsang ditsela tse di kgopo! Rethefatsang le tsone tse di dikhuti!
6 And all flesh shall see the saluation of God.
Ke gone batho botlhe ba tlaa bonang Mmoloki yo o tswang legodimong.”
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?
Se ke sekai sa thero ya ga Johane mo dikokoanong tsa batho ba ba neng ba tsile kolobetsong: “Losika lwa dinoga ke lona! Lo leka go falola molete kwa ntle ga go sokologela mo Modimong ka boammaaruri! Ke gone ka moo lo batlang go kolobediwa!
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.
Tsamayang pele lo ye go itshupa ka mokgwa o lo tshelang ka one gore ke boammaaruri lo ikwatlhaile. Le gone lo se ka lwa akanya gore lo falotse ka gore lo losika lwa ga Aberahame. Moo ga go a lekana. Modimo o ka ntsha bana ba ga Aberahame mo majeng a a sekaka a!
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.
“Selepe sa katlholo ya gagwe se tlhomilwe mo godimo ga lona, se baakanyeditswe go kgaola medi ya lona le go lo kgaolela fa fatshe. Ee, setlhare sengwe le sengwe se se sa ungweng loungo lo lo siameng se tlaa rengwa se be se latlhelwa mo molelong.”
10 Then the people asked him, saying, What shall we doe then?
Mme batho ba ba kokoaneng ba fetola bare, “O batla gore re direng?” Hong a ba fetola a re,
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.
“Fa o na le dikobo di le pedi,” naya yo o tlhokang e nngwe. Fa o na le dijo tse dingwe di abele ba ba bolailweng ke tlala.
12 Then came there Publicanes also to bee baptized, and saide vnto him, Master, what shall we doe?
Le e leng bone bakgethisi tota ba ba itsegeng ka bosula jwa bone ba tla go kolobediwa mme ba botsa ba re, “Re tlaa go tlhomamisetsa jang gore re latlhile dibe tsa rona?”
13 And hee saide vnto them, Require no more then that which is appointed vnto you.
Johane a re, “Ke tlaa itse jang boammaaruri jwa lona. Tlhomamisang gore lo seka lwa phutha makgetho a a fetang a mmuso wa Seroma o o lo kopang gore lo a kokoanye.”
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.
Mme masole mangwe a botsa a re, “A le rona? Jaanong ka ga rona?” Johane a fetola a re, “Lo seka lwa gapa madi ka patiko le thubakanyo; lo se pateletse ope ka ga se lo itseng a sa se dire; mme itumeleleng tuelo ya lona!”
15 As the people waited, and all men mused in their heartes of Iohn, if he were not that Christ,
Batho botlhe ba solofetse Mesia go tla ka bonako, ebile ba gakaletse go itse gore a Johane ke ene kgotsa nnyaa. E e ne e le potso ya lobaka lwa oura, mme ba ne ba tsaya kgang ka yone gongwe le gongwe.
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.
Johane a araba potso e a re, “Ka nna legale ke lo kolobetsa ka metsi; mme mongwe o e tla yo o nang le nonofo e kgolo go feta yame; yo ke sa tshwanelang le fa e le go nna motlhanka wa gagwe mme ene o tlaa lo kolobetsa ka molelo ka Mowa o o Boitshepo.
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.
O tlaa kgaoganya mmoko le mabele, a tshube mmoko ka molelo o o sa khutleng mme a boloke mabele.”
18 Thus then exhorting with many other things, he preached vnto the people.
A dirisa ditlhagiso di le dintsi fa a ntse a bolelela batho mafoko a a molemo a Modimo.
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,
(Mme ya re Johane a sena go bona Herode mmusi wa Galalea molato, ka go nyala Herodease, mosadi wa ga monnawe, le ka ga diphoso tse dintsi tse o di dirileng, Herode a tsenya Johane mo kgolegelong, ka go dira jalo a ba a oketsa sebe se, mo go tse dingwe tse dintsi tsa gagwe).
20 He added yet this aboue all, that he shut vp Iohn in prison.
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:
Erile ka letsatsi lengwe Jesu ka boene a tlhakana le boidiidi jwa batho ba ba neng ba kolobediwa ke Johane. Mme e rile fa a sena go kolobediwa, a rapela, mme magodimo a bulega,
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.
mme Mowa o o Boitshepo o le mo setshwanong sa lephoi wa tlhomama mo godimo ga gagwe, mme lentswe le le tswang legodimong la re, “O Morwaake yo o rategang thata. Ee, o boitumelo jwa me.”
23 And Iesus himselfe began to bee about thirtie yeere of age, being as men supposed the sonne of Ioseph, which was the sonne of Eli,
