Luke 3
1 And in the fifteenth year of the government of Tiberius Caesar—Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip, tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Muchilimo che ikumi ni iyanza cho mubuso wa Tiberiasi Sisare- chikwina bulyo Pontiusi Pilato abali mubusi wa Judeya, Heroda ibali muyendisi wa Galileya, mwanchakwe Filipe abali kuyendisa chikiliti cha Ituria ni Trakoniyisi, mi Lisaniasi abali kuyendisa chikiliti cha Abilene,
2 [and] Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests—there came a word of God to John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness,
mwi nako ya vuvusi vwa muprisita mukulwana yo hanzi Ananiasi ni Kaishala-inzwi lye Ireeza ni lyeza kwa Johani mwana Zakaria, mwi ikanda.
3 and he came to all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming an immersion of conversion for forgiveness of sins,
Aba yendi mu zikiliti zonse zi zimbulukite Jorodani, ku kutaza i nkolobezo ya ku baka ya kuwondela zibi.
4 as it has been written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the LORD, Make His paths straight;
Sina mukuñolelwe mwi mvuka ya manzwi a Isaya mupolofita, “Inzwi lya yenke lisumpa mwi ikaanda, 'Mu vakanye i nzila ya Simwine, mu wolole inzila zakwe.
5 Every valley will be filled, And every mountain and hill will be made low, And the crooked will become straightness, And the rough become smooth ways;
Mikokolombwa yonse mu izuzwe, mi ilundu ni chi ulu mu zi bozekezwe hansi, ni inzila zi nyonokete muzi wololwe, ni zi baka zisa shiyeme muzi zakwe mu migwagwa,
6 And all flesh will see the salvation of God.”
mi inyama zonse muzi bone kuhaza kwe Ireeza.”
7 Then he said to the multitudes coming forth to be immersed by him, “Brood of vipers! Who prompted you to flee from the coming wrath?
Linu Johani na wamba ku vantu vangi vavali kwiza kuku kolobezwa kwali, “Inwe muvaana va zihili! Njeni yava mi mamelisi kutiya ku vukali vukezite?
8 Make, therefore, fruits worthy of conversion, and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have a father—Abraham; for I say to you that God is able to raise children to Abraham out of these stones;
Linu he, muvike zilyantu ziswanele ku vaaka, mi kanji muti mukati kenu, 'Twina Abrahama che sheetu,' ni miwambile kuti Ireeza uwola ku busa baana ba Abrahama mwa a mavwe.
9 and also the axe is already laid to the root of the trees, every tree, therefore, not making good fruit is cut down, and it is cast into fire.”
Nanga hanu ibbeule li bakanyezwe muhiisi wa masamu. Mu kuti i samu lyonse lisahi zilyantu zi lotu mulitemenwe hansi ni ku sohelwa mu mulilo.”
10 And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, “What, then, will we do?”
vungi vungi vwa vantu ni va tanga kumubuza, ni vacho, “Linu aha tuchita vule?”
11 And he answering says to them, “He having two coats, let him impart to him having none; and he having food, let him do in like manner.”
Chetaava nikuti kuvali, “Chikuti muntu wina zizwato zo beele, ali kauhanyeze ni ya sena, nozuna wina zilyo naye achite cho kuswana.”
12 And there also came tax collectors to be immersed, and they said to him, “Teacher, what will we do?”
Va kunganyi ba mali naabo niveza kuku kolobezwa, mi ni kucho kwali, “Muruti, chinzi chitu lukela kuchita?”
13 And he said to them, “Exact no more than that directed you.”
Na wamba kwavo, “kanji mukunganyi mali mangii kuhitiliza amwa laelwa ku kunganya.”
14 And also questioning him were those warring, saying, “And we, what will we do?” And he said to them, “Do violence to no one, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.”
Vamwi masole navo chiva muvuza, ni va cho, “Mi linu iswe vule? Tu swanela ku chita nzi?” Na wamba kubali, “kanji muhindi mali kuyense muntu cha kuhambiliza, imi kanji munyansi muntu cha mafosisa. mulikolwisise kache ntuwelo zenu.”
15 And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ;
Linu vantu hanu hachivava lindile che ntakazo kwiza kwa Kiriste, zumwi no zumwi avali komokelwe mwi nkulo zavo ku amana ni Johani mukuti pona chova njeye Kireste.
16 John answered, saying to all, “I indeed immerse you in water, but He comes who is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to loose the strap of His sandals—He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and fire;
Johani ne taava cha kuwamba kuvali vonse, “Ka changu, Ni mikolobeza ni menzi, kono zumwi ukezite yokolete tota hita Ime, mi Ime kani swaneli ni ku sumununa mihala ye nsangu zakwe. Mwa mi kolobeze cha Luhuho lu Jolola ni cha mulilo.
17 whose winnowing shovel [is] in His hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse His floor, and will gather the wheat into His storehouse, and He will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Chi damiso cha kwe cha haluvuwa cina mwi yanza lyakwe ku joloza luli lu vuwa lwa kwe ni ku kunganya mahila mu chishete cha kwe. Kono mwa hise buhundu ni mulilo usa zimwa.”
18 And therefore, indeed, with many other things, exhorting, he was proclaiming good news to the people,
Ni manzwi mangi a mwi e nsusuwezo hape, Johani na kutaza ivañeli indotu kuvantu.
19 and Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and concerning all the evils that Herod did,
Mi Heroda mubusi ha nyanswa cha kusesa mwihyavwe wa mwa nce, Herodiasi, mi ni cha zonse zivi zintu Heroda za vapangi,
20 added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison.
ava weli izi kumi landu yakwe: ne yalila Johani mwi ntolongo.
21 And it came to pass, in all the people being immersed, Jesus also being immersed, and praying, Heaven was opened,
Linu nikwa va kuti, vantu vonse chivavali kukolovezwe, Jesu naye ava kolovezwe. mi haho havali ku lapela, mawulu niye yaluka,
22 and the Holy Spirit came down in a bodily appearance, as if a dove, on Him, and a voice came out of Heaven, saying, “You are My Son, the Beloved, in You I delighted.”
Mi Luhuho Lujolola mu chi vumbantu cha vuntu ni lweza cha ku shulumuka hali ubu inkuva, mi inzwi nilya zwa mwi ulu, “U mwanangu wa muswisu, uni saka, Ni kondetwa ka chako.”
