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, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea 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 in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness.
nu n'siki ghwa gha vutekesi uvukulu vwa Anasi nuKayafa, iliso lya Nguluve likamwisila uYohani umwana ghwa Sakalia ku lihaka.
3 He came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching 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 scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord. Make his roads 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 valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be made low, and the crooked will be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.
ifivonde fyoni filimemesevua, ifidunda fililimua, amasevo ghano ghabindile ghigholosivua, ni sila sino sili na manina sisyilua.
6 And all humanity will see the salvation of God.'"
avaanhu voni vilukuvwagha uvuvangi vwa Nguluve”
7 He said therefore to the crowds who went out to be baptized by him, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
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 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say among yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father;' for I tell 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 Even now the axe also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bring forth 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 The crowds asked him, "What then must we do?"
pe avaanhu mu lipugha vakamposia vakati, “lino lunoghile tuvombe ndani?”
11 He answered them, "He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him 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 Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what must we do?"
pepano avasongesia songo vamonga vakisile vope kukufughua, vakam'bula vakati, “m'bulanisi, lunoghile tuvombe ndani?
13 He said to them, "Collect no more than that which is appointed to you."
akavavula, “namugakong'aniaghe indalama fiijo kukila kino kinoghile kukong'ania.
14 Soldiers also asked him, saying, "What about us? What must we do?" He said to them, "Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. 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 As the people were in expectation, and all were wondering in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Christ,
lino, ulwakuva avaanhu valyale nu lunoghelua ulwa kumughula uKilisite juno ikwisa, kila muunhu isagha mu mwojo ghwake kuva ndeve uYohani ghwe Kilisite.
16 John answered them all, "I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with 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 fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor, and to 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 Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,
mu mbulanisio isingi nyinga alyadalikile imhola inofu ku vaanhu.
19 but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
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, that he shut up John in prison.
neke pambele kange uHelode alyavombile uvuhosi uvunge uvuvivi kyongo. akan'dindila uYohani mu ndinde.
21 Now it happened, when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying. The sky 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 a bodily form as a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying "You are my beloved Son. In you I am 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.
