Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka wa ikũmi na ĩtano wa ũthamaki wa Tiberio Kaisari, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Pontio Pilato aarĩ barũthi wa Judea, nake Herode aathanaga Galili, na Filipu mũrũ wa ithe aathanaga Iturea na Tarokoniti, nake Lusania agaathana Abilene,
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
hĩndĩ ĩyo Anasi na Kaiafa maarĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene, ũhoro wa Ngai nĩwakinyĩire Johana mũrũ wa Zakaria arĩ werũ-inĩ.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Nake agĩthiĩ bũrũri wothe ũrĩa warĩ hakuhĩ na Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, akĩhunjagia atĩ andũ merire nĩguo marekerwo mehia mao nĩgeetha mabatithio.
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mũnabii Isaia atĩrĩ: “Nĩ mũgambo wa mũndũ ũkwanĩrĩra werũ-inĩ, akoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Haarĩriai njĩra ya Mwathani, rũngariai tũcĩra twake.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
Mĩkuru yothe nĩĩgathikwo, nacio irĩma ciothe na tũrĩma nĩikaaraganio. Njĩra iria njogomu nĩikarũngario, nacio njĩra iria itarĩ njaraganu nĩikaaraganio.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Nao andũ othe nĩmakona ũhonokio wa Ngai.’”
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized by him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Andũ aingĩ nĩmathiire kũrĩ Johana akamabatithie, nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ rũciaro rũrũ rwa nduĩra! Nũũ ũmũtaarĩte mũũrĩre marakara marĩa makiriĩ gũũka?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say to you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Ciarai maciaro maringaine na kwĩrira. Na mũtikambĩrĩrie kwĩĩra na ngoro cianyu atĩrĩ, ‘Ithe witũ nĩ Iburahĩmu,’ Nĩgũkorwo ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, Ngai no atũme mahiga maya matuĩke ciana cia Iburahĩmu.
9 And now also the axe is laid to the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Ithanwa nĩrĩigĩtwo itina-inĩ cia mĩtĩ, na mũtĩ o wothe ũtaciaraga maciaro mega ũrĩtemagwo ũgaikio mwaki-inĩ.”
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
Nao andũ acio makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Tũkĩagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩka atĩa?”
11 He answereth and saith to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
Nake Johana akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ na nguo igĩrĩ nĩagaĩre ũrĩa ũtarĩ, nake ũrĩa ũrĩ na irio nĩeke o ta ũguo.”
12 Then came also tax collectors to be baptized, and said to him, Master, what shall we do?
Nao etia mbeeca cia igooti o nao magĩũka mabatithio, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, twagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩkaga atĩa?”
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũtigetagie mbeeca makĩria ya ũrĩa mwathĩtwo mwĩtagie.”
14 And the soldiers likewise asked him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
Nacio thigari ikĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Na ithuĩ-rĩ, twagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩkaga atĩa?” Nake agĩcicookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũtigatunyage andũ mbeeca na mũtikamaigagĩrĩre igenyo; na ningĩ iganagwoi nĩ mũcaara wanyu.”
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, whether he was the Christ, or not;
Na rĩrĩ, andũ nĩmaikaraga metereire marĩ na mwĩhoko, na othe magecũũranagia ngoro-inĩ ciao kana hihi Johana ahota gũkorwo nĩwe Kristũ.
16 John answered, saying to them all, I indeed baptize you in water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire:
Nowe Johana akĩmacookeria akĩmeera othe atĩrĩ, “Niĩ-rĩ, ndĩmũbatithagia na maaĩ. No nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũgũũka ũrĩ na hinya kũngĩra, ũrĩa niĩ itagĩrĩire kuohora ndigi cia iraatũ ciake. We akaamũbatithagia na Roho Mũtheru o na mwaki.
17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
Gĩtarũrũ gĩake akĩnyiitĩte na guoko nĩguo atherie kĩhuhĩro gĩake, na acookanĩrĩrie ngano amĩikie ikũmbĩ rĩake, no nĩagacina mahuti na mwaki ũtangĩhoreka.”
18 And many other things in his exhortation he preached to the people.
Johana nĩataarire andũ na ciugo nyingĩ na akamahunjagĩria Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa Johana aatetirie Herode ũrĩa warĩ mũthamaki tondũ wa kũhikia Herodia, mũtumia wa mũrũ wa ithe na nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ mothe mooru eekĩte,
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
Herode nĩongereire ũndũ ũngĩ mũũru makĩria; naguo nĩ wa kũnyiitithia Johana na kũmuohithia njeera.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ othe maarĩkirie kũbatithio, o nake Jesũ nĩabatithirio. Na rĩrĩa aahooyaga, Igũrũ rĩkĩhingũka,
22 And the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
nake Roho Mũtheru agĩikũrũka akĩũmba igũrũ rĩake arĩ na mwĩrĩ wahaanaga ta wa ndutura. Naguo mũgambo ũkiuma Igũrũ ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe mũrũ wakwa ũrĩa nyendete; na nĩngenaga mũno nĩwe.”
23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being ( as was supposed ) the son of Joseph, who was the son of Heli,
