Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the 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 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto 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 country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the 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, saying, The voice of one crying 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 shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
Kila liimbo shilikulilwe, Kila shitumbi na shikweya shiilinganywe. Papindile shipagoloywe, Mipanda jangali ja mmbone jipinga alaywa.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Na, bhandu bhowe shibhaubhonanje ntapulo gwa a Nnungu.’”
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
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 begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto 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 now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the 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 people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
Lugwinjili lwa bhandu lukwaabhuyaga, “Bhai tutende bhuli?”
11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
A Yowana gubhaajangwilenje. “Akwete nngubho ibhili anngabhile jwangali ngubhojo, akwete shalya atende nneyo peyo.”
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
Numbe bhakamula koli gubhaikengenenje kupinga kubhatishwa, gubhaabhushiyenje, “Tutende bhuli mmaajiganya?”
13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
Numbe a Yowana gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Nnalonganje koli japunda jimmalanjilwenje.”
14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any 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 in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
Bhandu bhatendaga lolelanga kwiya kwa bhaagombola, bhai gubhatandubhenje kwiibhuyanga mmitima jabhonji, pana a Yowana bha ni a Kilishitu.
16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with 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 fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
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 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
Bhai kwa genego na miungu jina jamigwinji, a Yowana bhakwaalungushiyangaga bhandunji Ngani ja Mmbone.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which 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 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
Kungai a Elode akuno bhalipunda kwitendekanya yangali ya mmbone, nigubhaatabhile a Yowana.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Bhandu bhowe bhakamalanjeje kubhatishwa, a Yeshu na bhalabho bhakubhatishwaga. Na pubhaaliji bhalijuga kwa a Nnungu, kunnungu kukuugukaga,
22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art 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.”
