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,
And in the fifteenth year of the government of Tiberius Caesar — Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother, tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of 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.
Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests — there came a word of God unto John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness,
3 Asafiri mu mkoa bhuoha kusyongoka kiholo Yorodani, akihubiri bhubatisu bhwa toba kwandabha jha msamaha bhwa dhambi.
and he came to all the region round the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of reformation — to 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 hath been written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, 'A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye His paths;
5 Kila libondi libeta kujasibhwa, kila kid'onda fibeta kusawazishibhwa, barabara syasibedeme sibeta kunyosibhwa, ni njela sya siparasibhu sibetakulainishibhwa.
every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straightness, and the rough become smooth ways;
6 Bhanu bhoha bhibetakubhubhona wokovu bhwa K'yara.”
and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'
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?
Then said he to the multitudes coming forth to be baptised by him, 'Brood of vipers! who did prompt you to flee from the coming wrath?
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.
make, therefore, fruits worthy of the reformation, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have a father — Abraham; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise children to Abraham;
9 Tayari libhagu limelikubhekibhwa mu mzizi bhwa libehe. Efyo, khila libehe lya lihogolalepi matunda manofu, lidumulibhwa ni kutaghibhwa mu muoto.
and already also the axe unto the root of the trees is laid, every tree, therefore, not making good fruit is cut down, and to fire it is cast.'
10 Kisha bhanu mu makutano bhan'tokili bhakajobha, “Henu twilondeka tukheta bhuli?”
And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, 'What, then, shall 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.”
and he answering saith to them, 'He having two coats — let him impart to him having none, and he having victuals — in like manner let him do.'
12 Kisha baadhi jha bhatoza ushuru bhahidili kabhele kubhatisibhwa, na bhan'jobhili, “Mwalimu twilondeka kubhomba kiki?
And there came also tax-gatherers to be baptised, and they said unto him, 'Teacher, what shall we do?'
13 Akabhajobhela, “musikusanyi hela nisu kuliko kya mwilondeka kubhonganiya.”
and he said unto them, 'Exact no more than that directed 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.”
And questioning him also were those warring, saying, 'And we, what shall we do?' and he said unto them, 'Do violence to no one, nor accuse falsely, and 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.
And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ;
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.
John answered, saying to all, 'I indeed with water do baptise you, but he cometh who is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to loose the latchet of his sandals — he shall baptise you with the Holy Spirit and with 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.
whose winnowing shovel [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat to his storehouse, and the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.'
18 Kwa maonyo ghangi ghamehele kabhele, ahubiri habari jhinofu kwa bhanu.
And, therefore, indeed with many other things, exhorting, he was proclaiming 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.
and Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, and concerning all the evils that Herod did,
20 Lakini baadajhe Herode abhombili uovu bhongi bhubhibhi sana. An'kongili Yohana muligereza.
added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison.
21 Kisha jhatokili kwamba, wakati bhanu bhoha bhibatisibhwa ni Yohana, ni muene Yesu abatisibhu kabhele. Wakati bho isoka, mbingu syafunguiki.
And it came to pass, in all the people being baptised, Jesus also being baptised, and praying, the heaven 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 came down in a bodily appearance, as if a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, saying, 'Thou art My Son — the Beloved, in thee I did delight.'
23 Henu Yesu muene, bhoajhandi kufundisya, ajhele ni umri upatao miaka thelathini. Ajhele mwana (kama kyajhejobhibhu) ghwa Yusufu, mwana ghwa Eli,
