Luke 3
1 And in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, in the presidency of Pontius Pilate in Judaea, while Herod was Tetrarch in Galilee, and Philip his brother Tetrarch in Ituraea and in the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias 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 in the high priesthood of Annas and of Caiaphas; the word of God was upon John the son of Zachariah, 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 region about the Jordan, proclaiming the baptism of repentance for the forgiveness 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 discourses of Isaiah the prophet, who said: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord; and make straight paths in the plain for our God.
Malinga shiishite jandikwa nshitabhu sha a Ishaya a nkulondola, “Lilobhe lika mundu linapilikanika kuanga. ‘Mwaalashiyanje Bhakulungwa mpanda gwabho. Nngoloyanje mushibhapite.
5 All valleys shall be filled up, and all mountains and hills be lowered; and the hillock shall be levelled down, and the rough place become smooth.
Kila liimbo shilikulilwe, Kila shitumbi na shikweya shiilinganywe. Papindile shipagoloywe, Mipanda jangali ja mmbone jipinga alaywa.
6 And all flesh shall see the life which is of God.
Na, bhandu bhowe shibhaubhonanje ntapulo gwa a Nnungu.’”
7 And he said to the multitudes, who came to him to be baptized: Ye progeny of vipers, who hath instructed you to flee from the future wrath?
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 comporting, with repentance. And begin not to say in yourselves: We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God can, from these stones, raise up sons to 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 lo, the ax is put to the root of trees. Every tree therefore that beareth not good fruits, is hewed down, and falleth 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 multitudes asked him, and said: What, then, shall we do?
Lugwinjili lwa bhandu lukwaabhuyaga, “Bhai tutende bhuli?”
11 He answered and said to them: Whoever hath two tunics, let him give one to him that hath none; and whoever hath food, let him do the same.
A Yowana gubhaajangwilenje. “Akwete nngubho ibhili anngabhile jwangali ngubhojo, akwete shalya atende nneyo peyo.”
12 And publicans also came to be baptized. And they said to him: Teacher, what shall we do?
Numbe bhakamula koli gubhaikengenenje kupinga kubhatishwa, gubhaabhushiyenje, “Tutende bhuli mmaajiganya?”
13 And he said to them: Exact no more than ye are required to exact.
Numbe a Yowana gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Nnalonganje koli japunda jimmalanjilwenje.”
14 And those serving in war inquired of him, and said: And what shall we do? He said to them: Be insolent to no one, and oppress no one, and let your pay satisfy you.
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 while the people were thinking of John, and all pondered in their heart, whether he were the Messiah;
Bhandu bhatendaga lolelanga kwiya kwa bhaagombola, bhai gubhatandubhenje kwiibhuyanga mmitima jabhonji, pana a Yowana bha ni a Kilishitu.
16 John answered and said to them: Behold, I baptize you with water; but after me cometh one mightier than I, the strings of whose shoes I am not worthy to untie; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit 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 He holdeth his winnowing shovel in his hand, and he will make clean his threshing floor; and the wheat he gathereth into his garners, and the chaff he will burn with fire not extinguished.
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 also, he taught and proclaimed to the people.
Bhai kwa genego na miungu jina jamigwinji, a Yowana bhakwaalungushiyangaga bhandunji Ngani ja Mmbone.
19 But Herod the Tetrarch, because he was reproved by John, on account of Herodias the wife of his brother Philip, and on account of all the evil things he 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 this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Kungai a Elode akuno bhalipunda kwitendekanya yangali ya mmbone, nigubhaatabhile a Yowana.
21 And it occurred, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also was baptized. And as he prayed, the heavens were opened;
Bhandu bhowe bhakamalanjeje kubhatishwa, a Yeshu na bhalabho bhakubhatishwaga. Na pubhaaliji bhalijuga kwa a Nnungu, kunnungu kukuugukaga,
22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, in the bodily likeness of a dove: and there was a voice from heaven, which said: Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I have delight.
na Mbumu Jwa Ukonjelo akwaatulushilaga alibhoneka mbuti ngunda. Lilobhe likupilikanikaga kukopoka kunnungu. “Ugwe mwanangu junguupinga, unonyela.”
23 And Jesus was about thirty years old. And he was accounted the son of Joseph, the son of Heli,
