< 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.
In the fiftenthe yeare of the raygne of Tiberius the Emperoure Pontius Pylate beinge leftenaut of Iurie and Herode beinge Tetrach of Galile and his brother Philip Tetrach in Iturea and in the region of Traconites and Lysanias the Tetrach of Abyline
2 Na wakati wa kuhani nkolo wa Anasi na Kyafa, Neno lya Nnongo lamuichile Yohana mwana wa Zakaria, mulijangwa.
when Anna and Cayphas were the hye prestes: the worde of God came vnto Iohn ye sonne of zacharias in the wildernes.
3 Atisafiri katika mikoa yoti atizunguka libende Yordani, akihubiri ubatizo wa toba kwaajili ya msamaha wa sambi.
And he came in to all the coostes aboute Iordan preachynge the baptyme of repentaunce for the remission of synnes
4 Kati yaiandikilwe katika kitabu cha maneno ga Isaya nabii, “lilobe lya mundu abili kumwitu, 'Mutengeneze tayari ndela ya Ngwana, mugatengeneze mapito gake yangyookile.
at it is written in the boke of the sayinges of Esaias ye Prophet which sayeth: The voyce of a cryar in wyldernes prepare the waye of the Lorde make hys pathes strayght.
5 Kila libende litwelia, kila kitombe nakitombe vipala sawazishwa, ndela yaipindile ipala nyookile, na ndela yabii na mashimo yapala lainishilwe.
Every valley shalbe fylled and every moutayne and hyll shalbe brought lowe. And crocked thinges shalbe made streight: and the rough wayes shalbe made smoth:
6 Bandu boti bapala kuubona wokovu wa Nnongo.”
and all flesshe shall se the saveour sent 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?
Then sayde he to the people that were come to be baptysed of him: O generacion of vipers who hath taught you to flye 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.
Bringe forth due frutes of repentaunce and begynne not to saye in youre selves we have Abraham to oure father. For I saye vnto you: God is able of these stones to reyse vp chyldren vnto Abraham.
9 Tayari libao labekitwe kwenye ndandai ya mkongo, nga nyoo, kila mkongo waulebeka kwaa matunda mema, wapalakatwa ni kutinya mu'mwoto.
Now also ys the axe leyd vnto the rote of the trees: so yt every tree which bringeth not forth good frute shalbe hewe doune and caste in to ye fyre.
10 Boka po bandu katika makutano atikolya akibaya, “nambeambe tupala tupange kitiwi?”
And the people axed him sayinge: What shall we do then?
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.”
He answered and sayde vnto them: He that hath two coottes let him parte with him that hath none: and he that hath meate let him do lyke wyse.
12 Boka po baadhi ya batoza ushuru baichile pia batizwa, na batikummakia, “mwalimu, tupalikwa panga namani?
Then came ther Publicans to be baptised and sayde vnto him: Master what shall we do?
13 Atikuabakiya, “Kana mkumbe mbange zaidi kuliko chapalikwa kumba.”
And he sayde vnto the: requyre no more then that which ys appoynted vnto 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 soudyoures lyke wyse demaunded of hym sayinge: and what shall we do? And he sayde to them: Do violence to noo ma: nether trouble eny man wrongfully: but be content with youre wages.
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.
As the people were in a doute and all men disputed in their hertes of Iohn whether he were very Christ:
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.
Ihon answered and sayde to them all: I baptyse you wt water but a stronger then I cometh after me whose shue latchet I am not worthy to vnlouse: he will baptise you with the holy goost and with fyre:
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.
which hath his fanne in his hond and will pourge his floore and will gader the corne into his barne: but the chaffe wyll he bourne with fyre that never shalbe quenched.
18 Kwa maono genge ganambone, atihubiri habari njema kwa bandu.
And many other thinges in his exhortacion preached he vnto 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.
Then Herode the Tetrach (when he was rebuked of him for Herodias his brother Philippes wyfe and for all the evyls which Herod had done)
20 Lakini baada yake Herode apangite lilau lyenge libaya muno, Amtabike Yohana muligereza.
added this above all and leyd Iohn in preson.
21 Boka po yatipita kwamba, muda bandu bote babile bakibatizwa ni Yohana, na ywembe Yesu atibatizwa pia. muda abile akiloba, maunde yatiyogoka.
And yt fortuned as all the people receaved baptyme (and when Iesus was baptised and dyd praye) that heave was opened
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.”
and the holy goost came doune in a bodely shape lyke a dove vpo him and a voyce came fro heve sayinge: Thou arte my dere sonne in the do I delyte.
