Luka 3
1 Mushinja sha lilongu na muhanu wa ukolamlima wa Kaisari Tiberiwu, Pontiwu Pilatu kaweriti mkolamlima gwa Yudeya, Herodi kaweriti mkolamlima gwa mkowa gwa Galilaya na Filipi mlongu gwakuwi kaweriti mkolamlima gwa mikowa ya Itureya na Trakuniti. Lusaniya kaweriti mkolamlima gwa Abileni,
Now, in the fifteenth year of the supremacy of Tiberius Caesar, —Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and, Philip his brother, tetrarch of Ituraea and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanius, tetrarch of Abylene, —
2 na Anasi na Kayafa waweriti watambika wakulu, shipindi ashi shisoweru sha Mlungu shimwizira Yohani mwana gwa Zakariya kushiwala kulii.
in the High-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, came a word of God unto John the son, of Zechariah, in rue desert;
3 Su Yohana kagenda pahala poseri papaweriti na lushemba Yoridani kaweriti kankubwera pakalonga, “Mleki vidoda vyamtenditi na mkabatizwi, su Mlungu hakawalekiziyi vidoda vyamtenditi.”
and he came into all the country about the Jordan, proclaiming an immersion of repentance into remission of sins:
4 Ayi ndo yawalembiti mushintola sha mbuyi gwa Mlungu Isaya, “Liziwu lya muntu lipikanika kushiwala, ‘Mumtenderi kala Mtuwa njira yakuwi, mumnyawili weri njira zyakuwi!’”
as it is written in the book of the discourses of Isaiah the prophet: A voice of one crying aloud! In the desert, prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight, be making his paths;
5 “‘Kila shibokela hawashifintili, Kila lugongu na shigongu hashipalaswi, Paweriti padusunka hapanyoshwi, Zinjira za vuluvulu hazinyawi.
Every chasm, shall be filled up, and, every mountain and hill, be made low; and the, crooked, places shall become, straight, and the, rugged, places, smooth ways; —
6 Wantu woseri hawawuwoni ulopoziwu wa Mlungu!’”
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Lipinga lya wantu liziti kwa Yohani su wabatizwi. Yomberi kawagambira, “Mwenga mwashiyiwuku sha wanjoka, kakugambirani gaa mtugi maya ga Mlungu gagiza?
He was saying, therefore, unto the multitudes who were going forth to be immersed by him—Broods of vipers! who suggested to you, to flee from the coming wrath?
8 Mulanguziyi nakaka ntambu yamutenda handa mleka vidoda vyamtenditi. Namwanja kulonga, ‘Twenga Aburahamu ndo mbuyi gwetu!’ Nukugambirani nakaka, Mlungu tembera katendi ata mabuwi aga gaweri wana wa Aburahamu!
Bring forth, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to be saying within yourselves, As our father, we have, Abraham; for, I say unto you—God is able, out of these stones, to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 Su vinu liwagu litulwa kala kudumula mishigira ya mitera, na kila mtera gwagulera ndiri mabwajubwaju gaherepa, hagudumulwi na kugwasila mumotu.”
And, already, even the axe, unto the root of the trees is being laid; every tree, therefore, not bringing forth [good] fruit, is to be hewn down, and, into fire, to be cast.
10 Wantu wamkosiyiti Yohana Mbatiza, “Su twenga tutendi hashi?”
And the multitude began to question him saying—What, then, shall we do?
11 Yomberi kawankula, “Yakana nguwu mbili kamupi kahera nguwu na yakana shiboga na yomberi katendi ntambu iraayi.”
And, answering, he said unto them—He that hath two tunics, let him share with him that hath none, and, he that hath food, in like manner, let him be doing.
12 Watola kodi wiziti wabatizwi, wamkosiya, “Mfunda na twenga tutendi hashi?”
And there came, even tax-collectors, to be immersed; and they said unto him—Teacher! what, shall we, do?
13 Kawagambira, “Namtola kodi nentu ya shiyasi shawatuliti.”
And, he, said unto them, Nothing more than what is appointed you, exact ye.
14 Na wamanjagila wamkosiya, “Na twenga tutendi ashi?” Su yomberi kawankula, “Mwenga mleki kuwapoka wantu vintu vyawu, ama kuwasitaka wantu pamuwapayira hera. Mjimili shibena mgongu shampata.”
Then were questioning him, soldiers also, saying—What shall, even we, do? And he said unto them—Molest ye, no one, neither accuse falsely; and be content with your supplies.
15 Wantu woseri waweriti wankulolera kwiza kwa Mlopoziya, waweriti wankulikosiya mumyoyu mwawu Yohani, ndo Kristu?
Now, as the people were in expectation, and all were deliberating in their hearts, concerning John, —whether by any means, he, might be, the Christ,
16 Paliya Yohani kuwagambira woseri, “Neni nankubatiza kwa mashi, kumbiti kwana muntu kiza kana uwezu kuliku neni. Neni weza ndiri kuyopola lugoyi lwa kutawira shiyatu shakuwi. Mweni ayu hakakubatizani kwa Rohu Mnanagala na kwa motu.
John answered, saying unto all—I, indeed, in water, am immersing you, but he that is mightier than I, cometh, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose, —he, will immerse you in Holy Spirit and fire:
17 Yomberi mumawoku mwakuwi kana luselu lwa kupetera, hakayijojiniri nganu na kuitula muluhanja lyakuwi, kumbiti hakatoli miwawi na kuipambira pamotu gwagutenda ndiri tiya.”
whose fan is in his hand, to clear out his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his granary; but, the chaff, will he burn up with fire unquenchable.
18 Kwa visoweru vivuwa Yohani kaweriti kankuwabwelera wantu visoweru viheri, kankuwagambira wantu waleki vidoda vyawatenda.
So then indeed, as to many things and various, he exhorted, and continued telling his glad-message unto the people.
19 Yohani kamkalipiriti Herodi yakaweriti mkola mlima gwa mukowa, toziya kaweriti kamupoka Herodiya yakaweriti mdala gwa mlongu gwakuwi na katenditi vintu vivuwa vidoda nentu.
But, Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother, and concerning all the wicked things Herod had done,
20 Su Herodi katenditi shidoda nentu kwa kamtatira Yohani mushibetubetu.
added this also unto all, —he locked up John in prison.
21 Wantu woseri pawawabatiziti kala, Yesu wambatiziti vilavi. Pakaweriti kankuluwa, kumpindi kuvuguka,
Now it came to pass, when one and all the people were immersed, Jesus also, having been immersed, and being at prayer, heaven was opened;
22 na Rohu Mnanagala kamsulukira kaweriti gambira mpongu mfanu gwa ngunda, liziwu lipikanika kulawa kumpindi palilonga, “Gwenga gwa mwana gwangu yanukufira. Gunhelepera”
and the Holy Spirit descended, in bodily appearance, as a dove, upon him, —and, a voice out of heaven, came—Thou, art my Son, the Beloved, in thee, I delight.
23 Yesu pakanjiti lihengu lyakuwi kaweriti na mivinja milongu mitatu. Su wantu wamaniti hangu, Yesu kaweriti mwana gwa Yosefu na Yosefu kaweriti mwana gwa Heli.
