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,
Henu, mu mwaka ghwa kumi na tano bhwa utawala bhwa Kaisari Tiberia, wakati Pontio Pilato ajhe gavana ghwa Uyahudi, Herode ajhele mbaha ghwa mkoa ghwa Galilaya, ni Filipo ndogomunu ajhele mbaha ghwa mkoa bhwa Iturea ni Trakoniti, ni Lisania ajhele mbaha ghwa mkoa bhwa Abilene,
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
ni bhwakati bhwa ukuhani mbaha bhwa Anasi ni Kayafa, Lilobhi lya k'yara lyan'hidili Yohana mwana ghwa Zakaria, jangwani.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Asafiri mu mkoa bhuoha kusyongoka kiholo Yorodani, akihubiri bhubatisu bhwa toba kwandabha jha msamaha bhwa dhambi.
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.
Kama kya jhilembibhu mu kitabu kya malobhi gha nabii Isaya, “sauti jha munu jha ajhe munyika,” Mujhitengenesiajhi tayari njela jha Bwana, mughatengenesiajhi mapito gha muene ghaghanyokili.
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;
Kila libondi libeta kujasibhwa, kila kid'onda fibeta kusawazishibhwa, barabara syasibedeme sibeta kunyosibhwa, ni njela sya siparasibhu sibetakulainishibhwa.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Bhanu bhoha bhibetakubhubhona wokovu bhwa K'yara.”
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?
Efyo, Yohana akabhajobhela makutano mabhajha gha bhanu bhabhan'hidili bhabhwesiajhi kubatisibhwa ni muene, “Muenga uzao bhwa lijhoka bhenye sumu, niani abhaonyili kujhijumba gadhabu jhajhihida?
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.
Muhogolayi matunda ghaghiyendana ni toba, na musijhendi kujobha mgati mwa jhomu, “Tujhe ni Ibrahimu ambajhe Dadi jhitu kwa ndabha nikabhajobhela jha kujha k'yara ibhwesya kunjinulila Ibrahimu bhana hata kutokana ni maganga agha.
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.
Tayari libhagu limelikubhekibhwa mu mzizi bhwa libehe. Efyo, khila libehe lya lihogolalepi matunda manofu, lidumulibhwa ni kutaghibhwa mu muoto.
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
Kisha bhanu mu makutano bhan'tokili bhakajobha, “Henu twilondeka tukheta bhuli?”
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.
Ajibili ni kujobhoha, “Kama munu ajhe ni kanzu sibhele jhilondeka ampelayi kanzu jhimonga jhinu jha adulili, na ambajhe ajhe ni kyakulya na abhombayi mebhu.”
12 Then came also tax collectors to be baptized, and said to him, Master, what shall we do?
Kisha baadhi jha bhatoza ushuru bhahidili kabhele kubhatisibhwa, na bhan'jobhili, “Mwalimu twilondeka kubhomba kiki?
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
Akabhajobhela, “musikusanyi hela nisu kuliko kya mwilondeka kubhonganiya.”
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.
Baadhi jha maaskari kabhele bhakan'kota bhakajobha, “Ni teta je? Twilondeka tuketajhi kiki?” Akabhajobhela, “Musitoli hela kwa munu jhejhioha kwa nghofu, na musin'tuhumu munu jhejhioha kwa udesi. Muridhikayi kwa mishahara jhinu.”
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, whether he was the Christ, or not;
Henu, kwa kujha bhanu bhajhele ni shauku jha kundendela Kristo jhaibeta kuhida, khila mmonga akajhaibhwasya mu muoyo bhwa muene kuhusu Yohana kama muene ndo kristo.
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:
Yohana ajibili ni kubhajobhela bhoha, “Nene nikabhabatisya muenga kwa masi, lakini ajhe mmonga jhaihida ambajhe muene ajhe ni nghofu kuliko nene, na nilondeka lepi hata kuhobhosya mighojhi jha filatu fya muene. Ibeta kubhabatisya muenga kwa Roho mtakatifu ni kwa muoto.
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.
Pepeto lya muene lijhele mumabhoko gha muene bhwa kupepetela ngano ni kujhibhonganiya ngano mu ghala lya muene. Lakini, ibeta kughateketesya makapi kwa muoto ambabho bhwibhwesya lepi kusimika.
18 And many other things in his exhortation he preached to the people.
Kwa maonyo ghangi ghamehele kabhele, ahubiri habari jhinofu kwa bhanu.
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,
Yohana an'kemili kabhele Herode mbaha ghwa mkoa kwa kun'gega Herodia, n'dala ghwa ndongo munu ni kwa maovu ghangi ghamehele ambagho Herode aghabhombili.
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
Lakini baadajhe Herode abhombili uovu bhongi bhubhibhi sana. An'kongili Yohana muligereza.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Kisha jhatokili kwamba, wakati bhanu bhoha bhibatisibhwa ni Yohana, ni muene Yesu abatisibhu kabhele. Wakati bho isoka, mbingu syafunguiki.
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.
Roho mtakatifu akaselela panani pa muene kwa mfano ghwa kiwiliwili kama njebha, wakati bhobhuobhu sauti ikahida kuhomela kumbinguni jhajobhili, “Bhebhe ghwa mwanabhangu mpendwa. Nipendesibhu sana ni bhebhe.”
