Luka 3
1 Itungli myaka Ikumi na utano utemi wanywa kaikani Tiberia, Matungo Pontio Pilato mudimi wang'wa Uyahudi, Herode ayi mukulu wa kisali Galilaya, Filipo muluna akwe amukulu wakisali kang'wa Iturea nutrakoniti, nu Lisania amukulu wakisali kang'wa Abilene,
Now in the fifteenth year of the rule of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being ruler of Judaea, and Herod being king of Galilee, his brother Philip king of the country of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias king of Abilene,
2 Matungo umudimi mukulu wa Anasi nukayafa, Lukani Langwi Itunda alumuzie Yohana wana ang'wa Zakaria mumbuga.
When Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the waste land.
3 Aulongoe muhinzo mkisali kihii nikipilimiye umongo wa mazi nu ang'wa Yordani, akizitanatia itai naubadisigwa nanukuheja imilandu.
And he came into all the country round about Jordan, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.
4 Anga naiandikilwe mukitabu kankani yang'wa Isaya naauotile, ululi la muntu nakulila, nyika noneeli mukondien Inzura amukulu na munonelye Inzula akwe igoloke.
As it says in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight.
5 Makombo ihi akizulig'wa malugulu niana malugulu ihi akunoneligwa ninzula niyikunyile ikikogoolwa ninzila Yihi nimbi yikuzipigwa.
Every valley will be lifted up, and all the mountains and hills made low, and the twisted will be made straight, and the rough ways smooth;
6 Antu ihi akuona uguni wang'wi Itunda.
And all flesh will see the salvation of God.
7 Kululo u Yohana akauila umilundo nukulunu antu au muhangile abatisigwe nugwenso uye wileli wanzoka nua uhungu nubii nyinyu na muhuguye kuumanka ubii nauzile.
So he said to the people who went out to him for baptism: You offspring of snakes, at whose word are you going in flight from the wrath to come?
8 Leli Indiya niyipyani nitai namuleke kulunga mkati anyu kukete u Ibarahimu ingi tata witu kunsoko nimuila kuiti Itunda ukete uhumi kumuhumbula Ibalihimu ng'wana kupuma mumagwe aya.
Make clear by your acts that your hearts have been changed; and do not say to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children of Abraham.
9 Ingigwa ihengo aikwa mumili a miti kululo u muti nishawitugaa Indya ninza wite ng'wa mu moto.
And even now the axe is put to the root of the trees; and every tree which does not have good fruit will be cut down and put into the fire.
10 Sunga iantu niilundie akamukolya akalunga, i magwe aya utakile kutende ulii?
And the people put questions to him, saying, What have we to do?
11 Akasusha akalunga ang'wi muntu ukite nkanzu Ibili utakiwe aheje nkanzu ing'wi amupe umuya numugila nuyu nukete indya witume uu.
And he made answer and said to them, He who has two coats, let him give to him who has not even one; and he who has food, let him do the same.
12 Sunga iahoela mpia ikaza kubadisigwa akamuila, mumanyi kutendeuli.
Then tax-farmers came to him for baptism and said to him, Master, what have we to do?
13 Aka aila, '' leki kuhoeli impia ni Idu kukela ni mutakile kuhoela.
And he said to them, Do not make an attempt to get more money than the right amount.
14 Anya nguru akamuila akalunga ause? kitumentuni?
And men of the army put questions to him, saying, And what have we to do? And he said to them, Do no violent acts to any man, and do not take anything without right, and let your payment be enough for you.
15 Matungo, Iantu aiakite Insula akumulindila U-kristo kila muntu akasiga munkolo akwe kunsoko ng'wenso Kristo.
And while the people were waiting, and all men were questioning in their hearts about John, if he was the Christ or not,
16 U yohana akaaila ihii, ''unene kumubatiza unye kumanzi ukoli nuzile nukete uhumi kukila une, nishantakiwe kutungula uludingi la ilatu yakwe. ukumubatiza unye kung'wang'welu nu kumoto.
John made answer, saying to them all, Truly, I give you baptism with water, but one is coming who is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:
17 Ipetelo lakwe likoli kumukono akwe kupyagula ni Iza ikiuga nikakupetela Ingano nukilingila Ingano misalanka lakwe ingi gwa ukuma sansa imakamilya kumoto ni shawilimaa.
In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned in the fire which will never be put out.
18 Ukeneli widu autanantilye nkani ninza kuantu.
And so comforting them with these and other words, he gave the good news to the people;
19 U Yohana aumpatile U - Herode mukulu wa kisali akamutina U - Herode musungu wa ng'wa muluna akwe nuku mabi nidu ni mangiza u Herode nutendile.
But Herod the king, because John had made a protest on account of Herodias, his brother's wife, and other evil things which Herod had done,
20 Matungo naitwile Herde aiwitumile uubi ukulu na ngulu, akamu tunga Yohana kukitungo.
Did this most evil thing of all, and had John shut up in prison.
21 Ingi aipumie matungo iantu ihii naiakubadilisi gwa nu Yesu nu ng'wenso aubadisigwe, Imatungo naukulompa, Ilunde likalunguka.
Now it came about that when all the people had been given baptism, Jesus, having had baptism with them, was in prayer, when, the heaven being open,
22 Ung'wa ngwelu akasima migulya akwe. anga Inyunyi, Matungo yayo yayo luli likaza kupuma milunde likalilya. Ue Ingi nu anso ng'wana wane ninumukuilye.
The Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove, and a voice came from heaven, saying, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.
23 U-Yesu ung'wenso, naiwapisha Imyaka makumi ataatu. Akandilya kumanyisa akazimpaya nigwa anga ng'wana ang'wa Yusufu, anga Eli.
