Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanius the 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,

3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance, for the remission 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, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye 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 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;
Yonse mimpata iyozuzukizigwa, a zilundu zyoonse atulundu tuyoba ansi amigwagwa ipilingene iyo lulamikwa, amasen aatabambinkene ayooyakwa akuba migwagw,
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
bantu boonse bayoobona lufutuko lwa Leza.'”
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?
Mpawo Joni wakati kumakamu akalikuza kuzo bbabbatizigwa anguwe, “Nywebo nobana bachipile! ngwani wakamuchenjezya kuti muchije kuzwa kubukali bulokuza?
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.
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 And now also the ax 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.
Alino kaleba kalibikidwe kale kumiyanda yamisamu. Aboobo kufumbwa musamu utazyali muchelo mubotu ulawugonkela kunsi akuuwalila mumulilo.”
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
Alimwi makamu akendelela kunembo akumubuzya bakati, “Niinzi mpawo nzitutachite?”
11 He answereth and saith to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath provisions, let him do likewise.
Wakasandula akuti kulimbabo, “Na kulumwi uujisi twakuzwata tubili, uleelede kwabana amuntu utakwe ayooyo ujisi chakulya ayiite mbobo.”
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Master, what shall we do?
Abasimutelo abalabo bakaza kuzo bbabbatizigwa, akwamba kuli nguwe kuti, “Muyisi, niinzi nchitweelede kuchita?”
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
Wakati kulimbabo, “Mutakabwezi mali nyiingi njimutabuzizigwe kubweza.”
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.
Bamwi basilumamba abalabo bakamubuzya, bakati, “Aniswe ninzi nchitweelede kuchita?” Wakati kulimbabo, “Mutakabwezi mali kufumbwa kulumwi changuzu, alimwi mutakapenzyi omwe chakubeja. amukakutisikane amiholo yanu.”
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, whether he was the Christ, or not;
Lino bantu nibakachili kulindila chakupekezya kusika kwa Kkilisto boonse bakali kugamba mukati kamooyo yabo aatala aJoni, kutii ngunguwe Kkilisto.
16 John answered, saying to [them] all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: 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 Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
Kajisi pologwe yakupupuluzya mujanza lyakwe chakusalazya lubuwa lwakwe akubunganya bbali munganda yakwe. Pele uyowumpa buungu amulilo alimwi mulilo tukoyoozima pe.”
18 And many other things in his exhortation he preached to the people.
Mubwingi bwakumusumpula Joni wakalikwambula makani mabotu kubantu.
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,
Alimwi Heloda kali mwendelezyi wakazumizigwa kukukwata mwanakazi wamwana wakwabo Helodiyasi azyoonse zintu zibi Heloda nzyakachitide,
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
wakayungizya ezi kulimbabo boonse, akujalila Joni muntolongo.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Lino nichakasika chiindi aawo bantu boonse bakabbabbatizigwa Jesu alakwe wakabbabbatizigwa, nibakachili kukomba, majulu akajulika,
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.
aMuuya Uusalala muchimo chamubili wakaza mbuli nziba, alimwi jwi lyakazwa kujulu “Ulimwana wangu ngwendiyandisisya. Ndabotelwa anduwe.”
