Luke 3
1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar—while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,
Mumunyaka wakkumi amusanu mubweendelezi bwa Tibeliyasi Kkayisala - aawo Pontiyasi Payileti nakali mwendelezyi waku Judiya, Heloda kali mwendelezyi waku Galilii, mwana wakwabo Filipo kali mweendelezi wachisi chaku Ituliya a Tilankonitis, a Lisaniyasi kali mwendelezyi waku Abilene,
2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas—the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
kuzwa kubupayizyi bwa Anasi aKkefasi - ijwi lya Leza lyakasika kuli Joni mwana wa Zakaliya munkanda.
3 He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Wakeenda muzisi zyoonse zizyuungulukide Joodani kakambauka lubbabbatizyo lwakusanduka akulekelela kwazibi.
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “A voice of one calling out in the wilderness, 'Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Mbuli mbukulembedwe mubbuku lyamakani aIsaya musinsimi, “Ijwi lyasikompolola munkanda, 'Amubambenzila yamwami, amululamike nzila zyakwe
5 Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be made low, and the crooked roads will be made straight, and the uneven places will be built into roads,
Yonse mimpata iyozuzukizigwa, a zilundu zyoonse atulundu tuyoba ansi amigwagwa ipilingene iyo lulamikwa, amasen aatabambinkene ayooyakwa akuba migwagw,
6 and all flesh will see the salvation of God.'”
bantu boonse bayoobona lufutuko lwa Leza.'”
7 So John said to the crowds who were coming out to be baptized by him, “You offspring of vipers! Who warned you to run away from the wrath that is coming?
Mpawo Joni wakati kumakamu akalikuza kuzo bbabbatizigwa anguwe, “Nywebo nobana bachipile! ngwani wakamuchenjezya kuti muchije kuzwa kubukali bulokuza?
8 Therefore, produce fruits that are worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say within yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones.
Aaboobo, muzyale michelo mibotu iitondezya kusanduka alimwi mutataliki kwaamba mukati kanu, “Tula Abulahamu kali taata wesu; mbundamwambila kuti Leza ulakonzya kusumpula bana ba Abulahamu kuzwa kumabwe aya.
9 Even now the ax is set against the root of the trees. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire.”
Alino kaleba kalibikidwe kale kumiyanda yamisamu. Aboobo kufumbwa musamu utazyali muchelo mubotu ulawugonkela kunsi akuuwalila mumulilo.”
10 Then the crowds kept asking him, saying, “What then are we to do?”
Alimwi makamu akendelela kunembo akumubuzya bakati, “Niinzi mpawo nzitutachite?”
11 He answered and said to them, “If someone has two tunics, he should share it with a person who has none, and the one having food should do the same.”
Wakasandula akuti kulimbabo, “Na kulumwi uujisi twakuzwata tubili, uleelede kwabana amuntu utakwe ayooyo ujisi chakulya ayiite mbobo.”
12 Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
Abasimutelo abalabo bakaza kuzo bbabbatizigwa, akwamba kuli nguwe kuti, “Muyisi, niinzi nchitweelede kuchita?”
13 He said to them, “Do not collect more money than you have been ordered to collect.”
Wakati kulimbabo, “Mutakabwezi mali nyiingi njimutabuzizigwe kubweza.”
14 Some soldiers also asked him, saying, “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Do not take money from anyone by force, and do not accuse anyone falsely. Be content with your wages.”
Bamwi basilumamba abalabo bakamubuzya, bakati, “Aniswe ninzi nchitweelede kuchita?” Wakati kulimbabo, “Mutakabwezi mali kufumbwa kulumwi changuzu, alimwi mutakapenzyi omwe chakubeja. amukakutisikane amiholo yanu.”
15 Now as the people were eagerly expecting the Christ to come, everyone was wondering in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Christ.
Lino bantu nibakachili kulindila chakupekezya kusika kwa Kkilisto boonse bakali kugamba mukati kamooyo yabo aatala aJoni, kutii ngunguwe Kkilisto.
16 John answered by saying to them all, “As for me, I baptize you with water, but someone is coming who is more powerful than I, and I am not worthy even to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
Joni wakasandula wakati kuliboonse, “Imebo lwangu ndamubbabbatizya amanzi, pele kulumwi ulobuza ulanguzu kwiinda ndime, aboobo nsikonzyi nikuba nkwangununa misungo yansangu zyakwe. Uyomu bbabbatizya aMuya Uusalala antomwe amulilo.
17 His winnowing fork is in his hand to thoroughly clear off his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his storehouse. But he will burn up the chaff with fire that can never be put out.”
Kajisi pologwe yakupupuluzya mujanza lyakwe chakusalazya lubuwa lwakwe akubunganya bbali munganda yakwe. Pele uyowumpa buungu amulilo alimwi mulilo tukoyoozima pe.”
18 With many other exhortations also, John preached good news to the people.
Mubwingi bwakumusumpula Joni wakalikwambula makani mabotu kubantu.
19 When Herod the tetrarch had been reproved for marrying his brother's wife Herodias, and for all the other evil things that Herod had done,
Alimwi Heloda kali mwendelezyi wakazumizigwa kukukwata mwanakazi wamwana wakwabo Helodiyasi azyoonse zintu zibi Heloda nzyakachitide,
20 he added this to them all, that he locked John up in prison.
wakayungizya ezi kulimbabo boonse, akujalila Joni muntolongo.
21 Now it came about, when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized, and while he was praying, the heavens opened,
Lino nichakasika chiindi aawo bantu boonse bakabbabbatizigwa Jesu alakwe wakabbabbatizigwa, nibakachili kukomba, majulu akajulika,
22 and the Holy Spirit in bodily form came down on him like a dove, and a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, whom I love. I am pleased with you.”
aMuuya Uusalala muchimo chamubili wakaza mbuli nziba, alimwi jwi lyakazwa kujulu “Ulimwana wangu ngwendiyandisisya. Ndabotelwa anduwe.”
