Luka 3
1 Nambeambe katika mwaka wa komi na tano na utawala wa kaisari Tiberia, wakati Pontio Pilato abile gavana wa uyahudi, Herode abile nkolo wa nkoa wa Galilaya, na Filipo nnuna wake abile nkolo wa nkoa wa Iturea na Trakoniti, na Lisania abile nkolo wa nkoa wa Abilene.
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip, tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias, tetrarch of Abilene;
2 Na wakati wa kuhani nkolo wa Anasi na Kyafa, Neno lya Nnongo lamuichile Yohana mwana wa Zakaria, mulijangwa.
during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the Desert.
3 Atisafiri katika mikoa yoti atizunguka libende Yordani, akihubiri ubatizo wa toba kwaajili ya msamaha wa sambi.
And Johnwent into all the region about the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
4 Kati yaiandikilwe katika kitabu cha maneno ga Isaya nabii, “lilobe lya mundu abili kumwitu, 'Mutengeneze tayari ndela ya Ngwana, mugatengeneze mapito gake yangyookile.
As it is written in the book of the prophet Isaiah. The voice of one crying in the desert, Prepare the way for God, make straight paths for him.
5 Kila libende litwelia, kila kitombe nakitombe vipala sawazishwa, ndela yaipindile ipala nyookile, na ndela yabii na mashimo yapala lainishilwe.
Every ravine shall be filled up, Every hill and mountain shall be laid low, The crooked shall be made straight, And the rough roads smooth;
6 Bandu boti bapala kuubona wokovu wa Nnongo.”
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Yohana atikuwabakiya makutano makolo ya bandu bamwichite bapate kubatizwa na ywembe, “Mwenga ubeleko wa mng'ambo bene sumu, nyai ywaboonile kaibutuka ghadhabu yaicha?
So Johnused to say to the crowd of those who were going out to be baptized by him. "You breed of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Mubeleke matunda yagaendana na toba, na kana mutumbwe baya nkati yinu, “Tubile nakwe Ibrahimu ambae nga tate bitu; kwa sababu mndakuwabakiya kwamba, Nnongo andawecha kumkakatuliya Ibrahimu bana hata bokana maliwe haga.
Then bring forth fruit befitting your penitence, and do not begin to say to yourselves, "We have Abraham as our father." I tell you that God is able to raise up sons to Abraham out of these stones.
9 Tayari libao labekitwe kwenye ndandai ya mkongo, nga nyoo, kila mkongo waulebeka kwaa matunda mema, wapalakatwa ni kutinya mu'mwoto.
And now truly the axe is already laid at the root of the trees. So every tree which is not bearing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."
10 Boka po bandu katika makutano atikolya akibaya, “nambeambe tupala tupange kitiwi?”
And the crowd began to ask him questions. "What shall we do then?" they asked. In reply he said to them.
11 Atijibu na kuwabakiya, “kati mundu abii na kanzu ibele apalikwa apiye nganzu imo kwa ywenge ambaye ntopo kabisa, na ambaye abi na chakulya na apange nyonyoo.”
"If you have two shirts share with him who has none; and let him who has food do the same."
12 Boka po baadhi ya batoza ushuru baichile pia batizwa, na batikummakia, “mwalimu, tupalikwa panga namani?
There came to him publicans also to be baptized, and they said to him, "Master, what must we do?"
13 Atikuabakiya, “Kana mkumbe mbange zaidi kuliko chapalikwa kumba.”
And he said to them, "Exact no more than the sum allowed you."
14 Baadhi ya maaskari batikumlokiya bakibaya, “Na twenga je? tupalikwa tupange namani? Atikuabakiya, “Kna mtole mbanje kwa mundu yoyote kwa ngupu, na kana mumuhukumu mundu yoyoti kwa ubocho. mulidhike na mishahara yinu”
The soldiers also repeatedly questioned him, saying, "And we, what shall we do?" "Do not intimidate any one," he replied, "nor lay false charges, and be content with your pay."
15 Nambeambe, kwa kuwa bandu babile na shauku ya kumlenda Kristo ywapala icha, kila yumo abile aandawacha mu'mwoyo wake husu Yohana kati ywembe ndiye Kristo.
And while the people were in expectation, and all men were debating in their hearts about John,
16 Yohana akayangwa na kubabakiya, “Nenga nakuwabatiza mwenga kea mache, lakini kubii ni yumo ywaicha ambaye abi na ngupy kuliko nee, na nistahili kwaa hata taba kamba yee ilatu yake. Apakwa batiza mwenga kwa Roho Mpeletau na kwa mwoto.
whether perhaps he were the Christ, Johnanswered, saying to all of them. "I indeed am baptizing you in water, but One is coming after me, mightier than I, whose shoe-latchet I am not worthy to unloose. He shall baptize you in the Holy Ghost and in fire.
17 Pepeto lyake libi muluboko lwake ili kusafisha kunanoga uwanda wake wake wa pepetya ngano na kuikumba ngano muligolo lyake. Lakini, apala kuyateketeza maakapi kwa mwoto uwecha kwa imika.
He has his fan in his hand to cleanse his threshing-floor thoroughly, and to gather the wheat into his storehouse, but the chaff will he burn with unquenchable fire."
18 Kwa maono genge ganambone, atihubiri habari njema kwa bandu.
With many other exhortations then Johndeclared the gospel to the people;
19 Yohana atikunkemeya pia Herode nkolo wa nkoa wa kwa kum'tola Herodia, nnyumbowe na nnuna wake ni kwa malau yenge ganambone ambayo Herode ayapangite.
but Herod, the Tetrarch, when reproved by him because of Herodias, his brother’s wife, and because of all the wicked deeds that he had done,
20 Lakini baada yake Herode apangite lilau lyenge libaya muno, Amtabike Yohana muligereza.
added yet this above them all that he shut up Johnin prison.
21 Boka po yatipita kwamba, muda bandu bote babile bakibatizwa ni Yohana, na ywembe Yesu atibatizwa pia. muda abile akiloba, maunde yatiyogoka.
Now after all the people had been baptized, and Jesus himself had been baptized and was praying,
22 Roho mpeletau atiiuluka mnani yake kwa mfani wa kiwili kati ngunda, muda wowo lilobe latiicha boka kumaunde yatibaya, “Wenga nga mwana wango wanikupendile. Napendezwile muno ni wenga.”
heaven opened, and the Holy Spirit, in bodily form like a dove, descended upon him. and a voice came out of heaven, saying. "Thou art my Son, dearly beloved; in thee is my delight."
23 Nambeambe Yesu mwene, atumbwike pundisha, abile ni umri wapata miaka thelathini. Abile ni mwana (kati ya idhanilwe) ywa Tusufu, mwana wa Eli,
