Luka 3
1 Muchilimo che ikumi ni iyanza cho mubuso wa Tiberiasi Sisare- chikwina bulyo Pontiusi Pilato abali mubusi wa Judeya, Heroda ibali muyendisi wa Galileya, mwanchakwe Filipe abali kuyendisa chikiliti cha Ituria ni Trakoniyisi, mi Lisaniasi abali kuyendisa chikiliti cha Abilene,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Yehuda, and Herod being tetrarch of Galila, and his brother Philipus tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachona, and Lusania tetrarch of Avilina,
2 mwi nako ya vuvusi vwa muprisita mukulwana yo hanzi Ananiasi ni Kaishala-inzwi lye Ireeza ni lyeza kwa Johani mwana Zakaria, mwi ikanda.
in the high priesthood of Khanan and Qayapha, the word of God came to Yukhanan, the son of Zekharya, in the wilderness.
3 Aba yendi mu zikiliti zonse zi zimbulukite Jorodani, ku kutaza i nkolobezo ya ku baka ya kuwondela zibi.
He came into all the region around the Yurdinan, preaching a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
4 Sina mukuñolelwe mwi mvuka ya manzwi a Isaya mupolofita, “Inzwi lya yenke lisumpa mwi ikaanda, 'Mu vakanye i nzila ya Simwine, mu wolole inzila zakwe.
As it is written in the scroll of the words of Eshaya the prophet, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord. Make his roads straight.
5 Mikokolombwa yonse mu izuzwe, mi ilundu ni chi ulu mu zi bozekezwe hansi, ni inzila zi nyonokete muzi wololwe, ni zi baka zisa shiyeme muzi zakwe mu migwagwa,
Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be made low, and the crooked will be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.
6 mi inyama zonse muzi bone kuhaza kwe Ireeza.”
And all humanity will see the salvation of God.'"
7 Linu Johani na wamba ku vantu vangi vavali kwiza kuku kolobezwa kwali, “Inwe muvaana va zihili! Njeni yava mi mamelisi kutiya ku vukali vukezite?
He said therefore to the crowds who went out to be baptized by him, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Linu he, muvike zilyantu ziswanele ku vaaka, mi kanji muti mukati kenu, 'Twina Abrahama che sheetu,' ni miwambile kuti Ireeza uwola ku busa baana ba Abrahama mwa a mavwe.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say among yourselves, 'We have Avraham for our father;' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Avraham from these stones.
9 Nanga hanu ibbeule li bakanyezwe muhiisi wa masamu. Mu kuti i samu lyonse lisahi zilyantu zi lotu mulitemenwe hansi ni ku sohelwa mu mulilo.”
Even now the axe also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire."
10 vungi vungi vwa vantu ni va tanga kumubuza, ni vacho, “Linu aha tuchita vule?”
The crowds asked him, "What then must we do?"
11 Chetaava nikuti kuvali, “Chikuti muntu wina zizwato zo beele, ali kauhanyeze ni ya sena, nozuna wina zilyo naye achite cho kuswana.”
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 Va kunganyi ba mali naabo niveza kuku kolobezwa, mi ni kucho kwali, “Muruti, chinzi chitu lukela kuchita?”
Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what must we do?"
13 Na wamba kwavo, “kanji mukunganyi mali mangii kuhitiliza amwa laelwa ku kunganya.”
He said to them, "Collect no more than that which is appointed to you."
14 Vamwi masole navo chiva muvuza, ni va cho, “Mi linu iswe vule? Tu swanela ku chita nzi?” Na wamba kubali, “kanji muhindi mali kuyense muntu cha kuhambiliza, imi kanji munyansi muntu cha mafosisa. mulikolwisise kache ntuwelo zenu.”
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 Linu vantu hanu hachivava lindile che ntakazo kwiza kwa Kiriste, zumwi no zumwi avali komokelwe mwi nkulo zavo ku amana ni Johani mukuti pona chova njeye Kireste.
As the people were in expectation, and all were wondering in their hearts concerning Yukhanan, whether perhaps he was the Meshikha,
16 Johani ne taava cha kuwamba kuvali vonse, “Ka changu, Ni mikolobeza ni menzi, kono zumwi ukezite yokolete tota hita Ime, mi Ime kani swaneli ni ku sumununa mihala ye nsangu zakwe. Mwa mi kolobeze cha Luhuho lu Jolola ni cha mulilo.
Yukhanan 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 with the Rukha d'Qudsha and with fire,
17 Chi damiso cha kwe cha haluvuwa cina mwi yanza lyakwe ku joloza luli lu vuwa lwa kwe ni ku kunganya mahila mu chishete cha kwe. Kono mwa hise buhundu ni mulilo usa zimwa.”
whose winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
18 Ni manzwi mangi a mwi e nsusuwezo hape, Johani na kutaza ivañeli indotu kuvantu.
Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,
19 Mi Heroda mubusi ha nyanswa cha kusesa mwihyavwe wa mwa nce, Herodiasi, mi ni cha zonse zivi zintu Heroda za vapangi,
but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodia, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
20 ava weli izi kumi landu yakwe: ne yalila Johani mwi ntolongo.
added this also to them all, that he shut up Yukhanan in prison.
21 Linu nikwa va kuti, vantu vonse chivavali kukolovezwe, Jesu naye ava kolovezwe. mi haho havali ku lapela, mawulu niye yaluka,
Now it happened, when all the people were baptized, Yeshua also had been baptized, and was praying. The sky was opened,
22 Mi Luhuho Lujolola mu chi vumbantu cha vuntu ni lweza cha ku shulumuka hali ubu inkuva, mi inzwi nilya zwa mwi ulu, “U mwanangu wa muswisu, uni saka, Ni kondetwa ka chako.”
and the Rukha d'Qudsha descended in a bodily form as a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying "You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased."
