Luke 3
1 In the fiftenthe yeare of the raygne of Tiberius the Emperoure Pontius Pylate beinge leftenaut of Iurie and Herode beinge Tetrach of Galile and his brother Philip Tetrach in Iturea and in the region of Traconites and Lysanias the Tetrach of Abyline
Sasa, katika mwaka wa kumi na tano wa utawala wa Kaisari Tiberia, wakati Pontio Pilato alikuwa gavana wa Uyahudi, Herode alikuwa mkuu wa mkoa wa Galilaya, na Filipo ndugu yake alikuwa mkuu wa mkoa wa Iturea na Trakoniti, na Lisania alikuwa mkuu wa mkoa wa Abilene,
2 when Anna and Cayphas were the hye prestes: the worde of God came vnto Iohn ye sonne of zacharias in the wildernes.
na wakati wa ukuhani mkuu wa Anasi na Kayafa, Neno la Mungu lilimjia Yohana mwana wa Zakaria, jangwani.
3 And he came in to all the coostes aboute Iordan preachynge the baptyme of repentaunce for the remission of synnes
Alisafiri katika mkoa wote kuzunguka Mto Yordani, akihubiri ubatizo wa toba kwa ajili ya msamaha wa dhambi
4 at it is written in the boke of the sayinges of Esaias ye Prophet which sayeth: The voyce of a cryar in wyldernes prepare the waye of the Lorde make hys pathes strayght.
Kama ilivyoandikwa katika kitabu cha maneno ya Isaya nabii, “sauti ya mtu aliaye nyikani, “Itengenezeni tayari njia ya Bwana, yatengenezeni mapito yake yaliyoonyoka.
5 Every valley shalbe fylled and every moutayne and hyll shalbe brought lowe. And crocked thinges shalbe made streight: and the rough wayes shalbe made smoth:
Kila bonde litajazwa, kila mlima na kilima vitasawazishwa, barabara zilizopinda zitanyoshwa, na njia zilizoparaza zitalainishwa.
6 and all flesshe shall se the saveour sent of God.
Watu wote watauona wokovu wa Mungu.”
7 Then sayde he to the people that were come to be baptysed of him: O generacion of vipers who hath taught you to flye from the wrath to come?
Hivyo, Yohana akawaambia makutano makubwa ya watu waliomjia wapate kubatizwa na yeye, “Ninyi uzao wa nyoka wenye sumu, nani aliwaonya kuikimbia gadhabu inayokuja?
8 Bringe forth due frutes of repentaunce and begynne not to saye in youre selves we have Abraham to oure father. For I saye vnto you: God is able of these stones to reyse vp chyldren vnto Abraham.
Zaeni matunda yanayoedana na toba, na msianze kusema ndani yenu, “Tunaye Ibarahimu ambaye ni baba yetu; kwa sababu nawaambia ya kwamba, Mungu anaweza kumwinulia Ibrahimu watoto hata kutokana na mawe haya.
9 Now also ys the axe leyd vnto the rote of the trees: so yt every tree which bringeth not forth good frute shalbe hewe doune and caste in to ye fyre.
Tayari shoka limeshawekwa kwenye mzizi wa miti. Hivyo, kila mti usiozaa matunda mema, hukatwa na kutupwa motoni.
10 And the people axed him sayinge: What shall we do then?
Kisha watu katika makutano walimuuliza wakisema, “Sasa tunatakiwa tufanyeje?”
11 He answered and sayde vnto them: He that hath two coottes let him parte with him that hath none: and he that hath meate let him do lyke wyse.
Alijibu na kuwaambia, “kama mtu ana kanzu mbili anatakiwa atoe kanzu moja kwa mwingine ambaye hana kabisa, na ambaye ana chakula na afanye vivyo hivyo.”
12 Then came ther Publicans to be baptised and sayde vnto him: Master what shall we do?
Kisha baadhi ya watoza ushuru walikuja pia kubatizwa, na wakamwambia, “Mwalimu, tunatakiwa kufanya nini?
13 And he sayde vnto the: requyre no more then that which ys appoynted vnto you.
Akawaambia, “Msikusanye fedha zaidi kuliko mnachotakiwa kukusanya.”
14 The soudyoures lyke wyse demaunded of hym sayinge: and what shall we do? And he sayde to them: Do violence to noo ma: nether trouble eny man wrongfully: but be content with youre wages.
Baadhi ya maaskari pia wakamuuliza wakisema, “Na sisi je? Tunatakiwa tufanye nini?” Akawambia, “Msichukue fedha kwa mtu yeyote kwa nguvu, na msimtuhumu mtu yeyote kwa uongo. Ridhikeni na mishahara yenu.”
15 As the people were in a doute and all men disputed in their hertes of Iohn whether he were very Christ:
Sasa, kwa kuwa watu walikuwa na shauku ya kumngojea Kristo atakaye kuja, kila mmoja alikuwa anawaza moyoni mwake kuhusu Yohana kama yeye ndiye Kristo.
16 Ihon answered and sayde to them all: I baptyse you wt water but a stronger then I cometh after me whose shue latchet I am not worthy to vnlouse: he will baptise you with the holy goost and with fyre:
Yohana akajibu kwa kuwaambia wote, “Mimi nawabatiza ninyi kwa maji, lakini kuna mmoja ajaye ambaye ana nguvu kuliko mimi, na sisitahili hata kufungua kamba za viatu vyake. Atawabatiza ninyi kwa Roho Mtakatifu na kwa moto.
17 which hath his fanne in his hond and will pourge his floore and will gader the corne into his barne: but the chaffe wyll he bourne with fyre that never shalbe quenched.
Pepeto lake liko mkononi mwake ili kusafisha vizuri uwanda wake wa kupepetea ngano na kuikusanya ngano ghalani mwake. Lakini, atayateketeza makapi kwa moto ambao hauwezi kuzimika.
18 And many other thinges in his exhortacion preached he vnto the people.
Kwa maonyo mengine mengi pia, alihubiri habari njema kwa watu.
19 Then Herode the Tetrach (when he was rebuked of him for Herodias his brother Philippes wyfe and for all the evyls which Herod had done)
Yohana alimkemea pia Herode mkuu wa mkoa kwa kumuoa Herodia, mke wa ndugu yake na kwa maovu mengine mengi ambayo Herode alikuwa ameyatenda.
20 added this above all and leyd Iohn in preson.
Lakini baadaye Herode alifanya uovu mwingine mbaya sana. Alimfunga Yohana gerezani.
21 And yt fortuned as all the people receaved baptyme (and when Iesus was baptised and dyd praye) that heave was opened
Kisha ilitokea kwamba, wakati watu wote walipokuwa wakibatizwa na Yohana, naye Yesu alibatizwa pia. Wakati alipokuwa akiomba, mbingu zikafunguka.
22 and the holy goost came doune in a bodely shape lyke a dove vpo him and a voyce came fro heve sayinge: Thou arte my dere sonne in the do I delyte.
Roho Mtakatifu akashuka juu yake kwa mfano wa kiwiliwili kama njiwa, wakati huo huo sauti ikaja kutoka mbinguni ikisema, “Wewe ni Mwanangu mpendwa. Ninapendezwa sana na wewe.”
