Luka 3
1 Henu, mu mwaka ghwa kumi na tano bhwa utawala bhwa Kaisari Tiberia, wakati Pontio Pilato ajhe gavana ghwa Uyahudi, Herode ajhele mbaha ghwa mkoa ghwa Galilaya, ni Filipo ndogomunu ajhele mbaha ghwa mkoa bhwa Iturea ni Trakoniti, ni Lisania ajhele mbaha ghwa mkoa bhwa Abilene,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 ni bhwakati bhwa ukuhani mbaha bhwa Anasi ni Kayafa, Lilobhi lya k'yara lyan'hidili Yohana mwana ghwa Zakaria, jangwani.
during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to Yochanan, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness.
3 Asafiri mu mkoa bhuoha kusyongoka kiholo Yorodani, akihubiri bhubatisu bhwa toba kwandabha jha msamaha bhwa dhambi.
He came into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming the immersion of repentance for remission of sins.
4 Kama kya jhilembibhu mu kitabu kya malobhi gha nabii Isaya, “sauti jha munu jha ajhe munyika,” Mujhitengenesiajhi tayari njela jha Bwana, mughatengenesiajhi mapito gha muene ghaghanyokili.
As it is written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.
5 Kila libondi libeta kujasibhwa, kila kid'onda fibeta kusawazishibhwa, barabara syasibedeme sibeta kunyosibhwa, ni njela sya siparasibhu sibetakulainishibhwa.
Every valley will be filled. Every mountain and hill will be brought low. The crooked will become straight, and the rough ways smooth.
6 Bhanu bhoha bhibetakubhubhona wokovu bhwa K'yara.”
All flesh will see God’s salvation.’”
7 Efyo, Yohana akabhajobhela makutano mabhajha gha bhanu bhabhan'hidili bhabhwesiajhi kubatisibhwa ni muene, “Muenga uzao bhwa lijhoka bhenye sumu, niani abhaonyili kujhijumba gadhabu jhajhihida?
He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be immersed by him, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Muhogolayi matunda ghaghiyendana ni toba, na musijhendi kujobha mgati mwa jhomu, “Tujhe ni Ibrahimu ambajhe Dadi jhitu kwa ndabha nikabhajobhela jha kujha k'yara ibhwesya kunjinulila Ibrahimu bhana hata kutokana ni maganga agha.
Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance, and don’t begin to say amongst yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father;’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!
9 Tayari libhagu limelikubhekibhwa mu mzizi bhwa libehe. Efyo, khila libehe lya lihogolalepi matunda manofu, lidumulibhwa ni kutaghibhwa mu muoto.
Even now the axe also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10 Kisha bhanu mu makutano bhan'tokili bhakajobha, “Henu twilondeka tukheta bhuli?”
The multitudes asked him, “What then must we do?”
11 Ajibili ni kujobhoha, “Kama munu ajhe ni kanzu sibhele jhilondeka ampelayi kanzu jhimonga jhinu jha adulili, na ambajhe ajhe ni kyakulya na abhombayi mebhu.”
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 Kisha baadhi jha bhatoza ushuru bhahidili kabhele kubhatisibhwa, na bhan'jobhili, “Mwalimu twilondeka kubhomba kiki?
Tax collectors also came to be immersed, and they said to him, “Rabbi, what must we do?”
13 Akabhajobhela, “musikusanyi hela nisu kuliko kya mwilondeka kubhonganiya.”
He said to them, “Collect no more than that which is appointed to you.”
14 Baadhi jha maaskari kabhele bhakan'kota bhakajobha, “Ni teta je? Twilondeka tuketajhi kiki?” Akabhajobhela, “Musitoli hela kwa munu jhejhioha kwa nghofu, na musin'tuhumu munu jhejhioha kwa udesi. Muridhikayi kwa mishahara jhinu.”
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 Henu, kwa kujha bhanu bhajhele ni shauku jha kundendela Kristo jhaibeta kuhida, khila mmonga akajhaibhwasya mu muoyo bhwa muene kuhusu Yohana kama muene ndo kristo.
As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning Yochanan, whether perhaps he was the Messiah,
16 Yohana ajibili ni kubhajobhela bhoha, “Nene nikabhabatisya muenga kwa masi, lakini ajhe mmonga jhaihida ambajhe muene ajhe ni nghofu kuliko nene, na nilondeka lepi hata kuhobhosya mighojhi jha filatu fya muene. Ibeta kubhabatisya muenga kwa Roho mtakatifu ni kwa muoto.
Yochanan answered them all, “I indeed immerse you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and fire.
17 Pepeto lya muene lijhele mumabhoko gha muene bhwa kupepetela ngano ni kujhibhonganiya ngano mu ghala lya muene. Lakini, ibeta kughateketesya makapi kwa muoto ambabho bhwibhwesya lepi kusimika.
His winnowing 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 Kwa maonyo ghangi ghamehele kabhele, ahubiri habari jhinofu kwa bhanu.
Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,
19 Yohana an'kemili kabhele Herode mbaha ghwa mkoa kwa kun'gega Herodia, n'dala ghwa ndongo munu ni kwa maovu ghangi ghamehele ambagho Herode aghabhombili.
but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
20 Lakini baadajhe Herode abhombili uovu bhongi bhubhibhi sana. An'kongili Yohana muligereza.
added this also to them all, that he shut up Yochanan in prison.
21 Kisha jhatokili kwamba, wakati bhanu bhoha bhibatisibhwa ni Yohana, ni muene Yesu abatisibhu kabhele. Wakati bho isoka, mbingu syafunguiki.
Now when all the people were immersed, Yeshua also had been immersed and was praying. The sky was opened,
22 Roho mtakatifu akaselela panani pa muene kwa mfano ghwa kiwiliwili kama njebha, wakati bhobhuobhu sauti ikahida kuhomela kumbinguni jhajobhili, “Bhebhe ghwa mwanabhangu mpendwa. Nipendesibhu sana ni bhebhe.”
and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying “You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased.”
