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,
Mu mwaka walikumi ne cisanu Tibelyo, mwami wa ku Loma. Pontiyasi Pilato pacindi ico walikuba emuleli wacishi ca Yudeya. Helodi neye walikuba muleli wa cishi ca Galileya. Filipo mukwabo Helodi, walikendelesha cishi ca Ituliya ne Tilakoniti. Lisaniya walikuba emuleli wa cishi ca Abilini.
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
Pa cindico Anasi ne Kayafa balikuba beshimilumbo bamakulene. Pacindi copeleci Lesa walamupa mulumbe Yohane mwanendi Sakaliya mucinyika.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Popelapo Yohane walaya akukambauka muminshi yonse yalikuba yashunguluka mulonga wa Yolodani, kabambileti, “Sandukani mu myoyo yenu, mubatishiwe, kwambeti Lesa amulekelele bwipishi bwenu.”
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.
Ibi embyalamba mushinshimi Yesaya eti, “Muntu labilikishinga mucinyika lambangeti, ‘Kamubamba nshila ya mwami. Kamululamika nshila yakendi.
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;
Misena yonse yakunama nikafukilwe, milundu ne bina byonse nibikacepeshewe. Nshila shapetuka petuka nishikalulamikwe. Sha byeshikupuntula nishikaswepe.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Lino mishobo yonse ya bantu nikabone lupulusho lwa Lesa!’”
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?
Bantu bangi balaya nkwalikuba Yohane kwambeti enga ababatishe. Nomba nendi walabambileti, “Amwe omulyeti njoka, niyani lamucenjeshe kufwamba bukalu bwa Lesa bulesanga?
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.
Kamwinsani milimo yaina yeshikulesha kwambeti mulasanduku myoyo yenu. Kamutambangeti, mwalulama pakwinga Abulahamu. ebameshenu. Ndamwambilinga Lesa ngausandula mabwe aya kuba banabendi Abulahamu.
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.
Nomba lino kembe kakankwa kendi pamiyanda ya bitondo. Neco citondo cili conse citaseme bisepo byaina, nicikatemwe nekuciwala pamulilo.”
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
Nomba bantu balamwipusha Yohane eti, “Nomba lino twinse aconi?”
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.
Nendi Yohane walambeti, “Uyo ukute byakulya apeko munendi wabula. Neye ukute byakufwala ense copeleco.”
12 Then came also tax collectors to be baptized, and said to him, Master, what shall we do?
Naboyo beshimisonko balikuyanda kubatishiwa, balamwipusha Yohane eti, “Shikwiyisha, nomba twinsenga cani?”
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
Nendi Yohane walabambileti, “Mutasonkeshanga mwelo wapitilila.”
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.
Naboyo bashilikali balamwipusheti, “Nomba twinsenga cani?” Nendi Yohane walabambileti, “Mutalamunanga muntu cintu cakendi pakumuyosha nambi kumunanika mulandu. Amwe mali ngomulafolonga amukwanine.”
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, whether he was the Christ, or not;
Pakwinga pacindici bantu bangi balikupembelela kwisa kwa Mupulushi Walaiwa ne Lesa, bantu balatatika kuyeyeti mpani Yohane eMupulushi usa Walaiwa ne Lesa.
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:
Lino Yohane walabambila bonseti, “Ame ndamubatishinga ne menshi, nsombi lesanga wampita kayi nkandela kucikonsha kuba musha wakendi uyo wela kusungulula ntambo sha nkwabilo shakendi. Uyo nendi naka mubatishenga ne Mushimu Uswepa ne mulilo.
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.
Nendi ukute cakupupulushilako maila mumakasa akendi kwambeti apupulushe nekwalongela mulyanga, Lino nakatente bungu bonse mumulilo utashimiki.”
18 And many other things in his exhortation he preached to the people.
Yohane walikukambauka Mulumbe Waina nekubacenjesha munshila shapusa pusana.
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,
Nomba Yohane walakalalila mwami Helodi pacebo cakweba Helodyasi, muka mukwabo, ne pacebo ca bintu byaipa nabimbi mbyalikwinsa.
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
Kusankanya pabwipishi ubu, Helode walamusunga Yohane mujele.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Busuba nabumbi bantu bonse mpobalabatishiwa, neye Yesu walabatishiwa. Lino pacindi mpwali kupaila kwilu kwalacaluka,
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.
Kai ne Mushimu Uswepa walikuboneketi nkulimba walaseluka nekwisa kwikala pali endiye. Ne liswi lyalanyumfwika kwilu eti, “Njobe mwaname ngonsuni mumoyo mwakame, pali njobe ndakondwa.”
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,
