Lukha 3
1 Lino umwakha gwa kumi na tano ugwa nkilunga kesari Tiberia, imisikhi Pontio Pilati ale gavana va va yuta, Uherode alimbaha va nkoa gwa Galilaya, nu Filipo ulukololwe ale imbaha va unkoa gwa Iturea na kwu Trakoniti, na Lisania ale mmbaha va nkoa gwa Abilene,
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,
2 nu nsikhi gwa kuhani umbaha u Anasi nu Kayafa, ilimenyu lya Nguluve likha mwichela u Yohana umwana va Sakhaliya, khulunalawe.
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of YHWH came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 Agendile unkoa gwoni ukhuchungula Inyanja Yolidani, alikhulumbilila ulwocho lwa khupela ulusyiekhilo lwa mbivi
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 Nduvu yisimbiwe amemenyu mwa myamalago u Isaya, “Elimenyu lya munu uviilela mundunyikha, “Mnochage Injila ya Nkuludeva, Mnochage umwigendela umwene yigolokhage.
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 YHWH, make his paths straight.
5 Amaguli goni gisyeliwa, ifyamba nu twamba finovhiwa, imisewe ugubendile gigolokha, ninjila imbivi chigolokha.
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;
6 Avanu voni yavikhovovona uvupokhi vwa Nguluve.”
And all flesh shall see the salvation of YHWH.
7 Pwo, Yohana akhavavula anyaulundamano uhivaha lwa vanu uvuvagendile lekhe vochiwe nu mwene, “Umwe mwi khipapo kya njokha muvele ni sumu veni uviavavolile ukhunjila uvuhigi uvuyakhave vukhwicha?
Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Holaga Isekhe khikongana nu lukhuto pwo mlekhe ukhuchova mgati nayomwe, “Tulinu Ibrakimu vi dada veto; ulwakuva ni khuvavula ukhuta Unguluve, iwesya ukhuhalila u Ibrahimu avana ndagave mawe aga.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That YHWH is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 Lino isokha yivikhivwe pa malela ga mmbikhi pwu lino umbikhi gwu gwoni ugusagwihola isekhe inonu, gugidiwa nu khutaga mmwoto.
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 Pwu avanu palulundamano vakha mbucha vakhata,” Pwu yinogwa tugahendakhikhi?”
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 Akhavanda akhata, “Umunu unyalini khanzu ivili ahumye yimo ampe uyunge uvialivuvule ficho ingave alini khyalya agahe evwo.”
He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
12 Pwu avange avasonga songa vakhicho khwukwochiwa, pwu vakhembula, “Immanyiai, Tunongivwa tugale ndakhekhi?
Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 Akhavavula, “Mlekhe ukhutola indalana nyingi ficho icho sayinogiwa ukhutola.”
And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 Avange avasikhali navope vakha mbucha, “Na yufwe? Tulondiwa tugahe ndakhe khi?” Akhavavula mlekhe ukhutola khumunu uvi avechaga khumakha khange mlekhe ukisile khumunu uvi avechaga kuvudesi, mkelage ni misahala gyimyo.”
And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
15 Pwu lino ulwakhuva avanu vukhale nuvunogwqe vwa khugula u Kristi uviye khave ikwicha, khila akhava isaga munumbula ya mwene ukhuta u Yohana pange iva vi Kristi.
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Messiah, or not;
16 UYohana akhanda akhavavula voni, “Une nikhuvocha umwe na magasi, pwu kwali umpamato ayikwicha uvi alinamakha khulina, khage saninogile ukhuvupola imilegeha gya fikato fya mwene ikwu vocha umwe nu mepo umbalache nu mwoto.
John answered, saying unto 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 shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire:
17 Uluhelo lwa mwene lulimmavokho ga mwene ukhonocho vunonu uwanda vwa mwene nu ukhupetela mgano nu khulundamania nkibana kya mwene. Pwu, ayinyunyania amapunji nu mwoto ugwu sagichima.
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 Kumavungu agange mingi khange, alikhulumbilila inongwa inonu kwa Yesu.
And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
19 UYohana akhadukha khange khwa Herode umbaha va nkoa pa khutola u Herodia, ichinge nyingi icho Herode alikhuvomba.
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
20 Pwu khuvulongolo u Herode akhavomba uvuvivi uvunge uvuvala ficho akhandindila uYohani mligelesya.
Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Pwu yikhahumila ukhuta, unsikhu avanu voni upwu valikhwochiwa nu Yohana, na yu Yisu alikhwochiwa. Unsikhi upwa likhwisaya, khukhanya khukhadi ndukha.
Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Yahushua also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 Umepo Umbalache akhikha pakhanya pa mwene ikhwoni kya khivili vili kifane njiva, unsikhi gugugwa ilimenyu likhicha ukhuhuma khukhaya iyitu, “Uve mwana vango ugane, ndiganile ficho na yue.”
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.
