Luka 3
1 Woli, mumwaka gwa kumi na tano ogwokukama bhwa Kaisali Tibelia, omwanya ogwo Pontiyo Pilato aliga ali mukama wa Uyaudi, Helode aliga ali mukulu wo mukoa gwa Galilaya, na Filipo mumulawabho aligaali mukulu wo mukowa Ituleya na Tlakoniti, na Lisania aliga ali mukulu wo mukoa gwa Abilene,
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar—while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Omwanya ogwomugabhisi mukulu owa Anasi na Kayafa, Ligambo lya Nyamuanga lyamwijie Yowana mwana wa Jakaliya, mwibhala.
during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas—the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
3 Nalibhata mumukowa gwona okwiinda Yolodani, nalasha obhubhatijwa bhwo kuta kulwokusasibhwa ebhibhibhi
He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
4 Kutyo jandikilwe muchitabho magambo ga Isaya omulagi,”Obhulaka bhwo munu unu kalagilisha mwibhala,”Muichume injla ya Latabhugenyi, mukole injila yae inu imile.
As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “A voice of one calling out in the wilderness, 'Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
5 Bhuli kolongo elijusibhwa, bhuli bhanga ne bhibhanga ebhinyalambulwa, jinjila jinu jikotele ejigololwa, na jinjila jinu jilina magunguli jilinyalambulilwa.
Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be made low, and the crooked roads will be made straight, and the uneven places will be built into roads,
6 Bhanu bhona bhali bhulola obhwelulo bhwa Nyamuanga.”
and all flesh will see the salvation of God.'”
7 Kulwejo, Yowana nabhwila elikofyanya enene elyabhanu bhanu bhajaga okubhatijwa nage,”Emwe olwibhulo lwa injoka yo bhusungu, niga unu amabhakabhusha okubhilima lisungu linu elija?
So John said to the crowds who were coming out to be baptized by him, “You offspring of vipers! Who warned you to run away from the wrath that is coming?
8 Mwibhule amatwasho ganu agagendana no kuta, na mutaja kwaika munda yemwe,”Chinage Ibulaimu unu ali lata weswe; kulwokubha enibhabhwila ati, Nyamuanga katula okumubhonela abhana okusoka ku mabhuyi ganu.
Therefore, produce fruits that are worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say within yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones.
9 Nawoli inshoka iteweyo kumisi ja mati. Kulwejo, bhuli ti linu litakwibhula matwasho ga kisi, elitemwa no kweswa mumulilo.
Even now the ax is set against the root of the trees. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire.”
10 Nibheya abhanu bha mwiijo nibhamubhusha nibhaikati,”Woli jichiile chikoleki?”
Then the crowds kept asking him, saying, “What then are we to do?”
11 Abhasubhishe naikati,”labha omunu ali na nkanju ebhili jimwiile asoshe nkanju imwi ku undi unu atanayo silisili, na unu ali nebhilyo ona nakole kutyo.”
He answered and said to them, “If someone has two tunics, he should share it with a person who has none, and the one having food should do the same.”
12 Nibheya amwi ya bhatobhesha bhushulu nibhaja okubhatijwa, na nibhamubhwila ati,”Mwiigisha, jichiile chikole kutiki?
Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
13 Nabhabhwilati, Musige okumanya jiyela kukila kutyo omwendibhwa okukumanya.”
He said to them, “Do not collect more money than you have been ordered to collect.”
14 Na amwi ya bhasilikale ona nibhamubhusha nibhaikati,”Kaoli eswe kutiki? Echendibhwa chikole kutiki?”Nabhabhwilati, Mutaja kugega jiyelaku munu wonawona kwa managa, mutaja kumubheelesha munu wonawona kwo lubheyi. mwihye ne miyelo jemwe”
Some soldiers also asked him, saying, “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Do not take money from anyone by force, and do not accuse anyone falsely. Be content with your wages.”
15 Woli, kulwokubha abhanu bhaliga bhano bhwila bhwo kumulinda Kilisto unu alija, bhuli munu aliga neganilisha mumwoyo gwae ingulu ya Yowana labha niwe Kilisto.
Now as the people were eagerly expecting the Christ to come, everyone was wondering in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Christ.
16 Yowana nasubhya kwo kubhabhwila bhona ati,”Anye enibhabhatija kwa manji, tali alio umwi unu kaja unu ali na managa kukila anye, na anye niteile kusulumula jingoe je bhilato bhyae. Kabhabhatija emwa kwo mwoyo mwelu na kwomulilo.
John answered by saying to them all, “As for me, I baptize you with water, but someone is coming who is more powerful than I, and I am not worthy even to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
17 Lisungulilo lyae lili mumabhoko gae koleleki achumechume kisi owokusungulila ingano no kuikumanya muchitala chae. Tali kasingalisha ingunyu kwo mulilo gunu gutakusima.
His winnowing fork is in his hand to thoroughly clear off his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his storehouse. But he will burn up the chaff with fire that can never be put out.”
18 Kwo kubhatongela agandi mamfu ona, alasishe emisango jo bhwana kubhanu,
With many other exhortations also, John preached good news to the people.
19 Yowana amuganyishe ona Helode omukulu wo mukowa kwo kutwala Helodiya, omugasi wo mumula wabho na kwobhunyamuke bhwamfu bhunu Helode aliga nakola.
When Herod the tetrarch had been reproved for marrying his brother's wife Herodias, and for all the other evil things that Herod had done,
20 Tali eile Helode akolele obhunyamuke obhundi bhubhibhi muno. Namubhoya Yowana mwibhoelo.
he added this to them all, that he locked John up in prison.
21 Njiya njisokanati, omwanya gunu abhanu bhona bhaliga nibhabhatijwa na Yowana, Yesu ona abhatijishwe. Omwanya ogwo asabhilwe, olwile nilwiguka.
Now it came about, when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized, and while he was praying, the heavens opened,
22 Omwoyo Mwelu natuka ingulu yae kulwolususo lwa lilengesi lya inguti, omwanya ogwo obhulaka nibhuja okusoka mulwile nibhwaikati,”Awe ulimwana wani mwendwa. Enikondelwa muno na nawe”
and the Holy Spirit in bodily form came down on him like a dove, and a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, whom I love. I am pleased with you.”
