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 reign of Tiberius Caesar [Ruler], Pontius Pilate [Armed with javelin] being governor of Judea [Praise], and Herod [Heroic] being tetrarch (one of four co-emperors) of Galilee [District, Circuit], and his brother Philip [Loves horses] tetrarch (one of four co-emperors) of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch (one of four co-emperors) of Abilene,
2 Matungo umudimi mukulu wa Anasi nukayafa, Lukani Langwi Itunda alumuzie Yohana wana ang'wa Zakaria mumbuga.
in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas [Rock that hollows itself out], ha D'var Elohim · the Word of God· came to John [Yah is gracious], the son of Zacharias [Remembered by Yah], in the wilderness.
3 Aulongoe muhinzo mkisali kihii nikipilimiye umongo wa mazi nu ang'wa Yordani, akizitanatia itai naubadisigwa nanukuheja imilandu.
He came into all the region around the Jordan [Descender], preaching the baptism of teshuvah ·complete repentance· for remission of sins.
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 is written in the book of the words of Isaiah [Salvation of Yah] the prophet, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of MarYah [Master Yahweh]. Make his paths straight.
5 Makombo ihi akizulig'wa malugulu niana malugulu ihi akunoneligwa ninzula niyikunyile ikikogoolwa ninzila Yihi nimbi yikuzipigwa.
Every valley will be filled. Every mountain and hill will be brought low. The crooked will become straight, and the rough ways smooth.
6 Antu ihi akuona uguni wang'wi Itunda.
Then all humanity will see God’s method of deliverance.’”
7 Kululo u Yohana akauila umilundo nukulunu antu au muhangile abatisigwe nugwenso uye wileli wanzoka nua uhungu nubii nyinyu na muhuguye kuumanka ubii nauzile.
He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be baptized by him, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee 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.
Therefore produce fruits worthy of teshuvah ·complete repentance·, and don’t begin to say among yourselves, ‘We have Abraham [Father of a multitude] Avinu ·our Father·;’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham [Father of a multitude] from these stones!
9 Ingigwa ihengo aikwa mumili a miti kululo u muti nishawitugaa Indya ninza wite ng'wa mu moto.
Even now the ax also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not produce good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.”
10 Sunga iantu niilundie akamukolya akalunga, i magwe aya utakile kutende ulii?
The multitudes asked him, “What then must we do?”
11 Akasusha akalunga ang'wi muntu ukite nkanzu Ibili utakiwe aheje nkanzu ing'wi amupe umuya numugila nuyu nukete indya witume uu.
He answered them, “He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise.”
12 Sunga iahoela mpia ikaza kubadisigwa akamuila, mumanyi kutendeuli.
Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
13 Aka aila, '' leki kuhoeli impia ni Idu kukela ni mutakile kuhoela.
He said to them, “Collect no more than that which is appointed to you.”
14 Anya nguru akamuila akalunga ause? kitumentuni?
Soldiers also asked him, saying, “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages.”
15 Matungo, Iantu aiakite Insula akumulindila U-kristo kila muntu akasiga munkolo akwe kunsoko ng'wenso Kristo.
As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John [Yah is gracious], whether perhaps he was the Messiah [Anointed one],
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 [Yah is gracious] answered them all, “I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you in Ruach haKodesh [Spirit of the Holiness] and 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.
whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
18 Ukeneli widu autanantilye nkani ninza kuantu.
Then with many other exhortations he preached 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 [Heroic] the tetrarch (one of four co-emperors), being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod [Heroic] had done,
20 Matungo naitwile Herde aiwitumile uubi ukulu na ngulu, akamu tunga Yohana kukitungo.
added this also to them all, that he shut up John [Yah is gracious] in prison.
21 Ingi aipumie matungo iantu ihii naiakubadilisi gwa nu Yesu nu ng'wenso aubadisigwe, Imatungo naukulompa, Ilunde likalunguka.
Now when all the people were baptized, Yeshua [Salvation] also had been baptized, and was praying. The sky was opened,
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.
and Ruach haKodesh [Spirit of the Holiness] descended in a bodily form like a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying “You are my agapetos ·beloved, esteemed· Son. In you 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.
