Luka 3
1 Umwaha, ugwa kumi na tano owalongozye hwakwe Kaisari Tiberia, Pantio Pilato nali liwali owayahudi, na Herode omwene owa Galilaya, no Filipo oholo wakwe omwene uwa Iturea nensi eya Trakoniti, na Lisania no mwene owa Abilene,
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituræa and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Wakati owa kohani ogosi owa anasi no Kayafa, izu elya NGOLOBHE lya fishiye oYohana omwana owa Zakaria, mwipoli.
in the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 Afishele mnsi yonti yelikaribu ne Yordani, alombeleye owoziwa owa lete usajilwa olwa hwefwe embibhi.
And he came into all the region round about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins;
4 Neshe shahwasimbilwe chuo eshe mazu aga kuwe Isaya, “Izu ya mntu wali mwipoli, “Lilenganyi idala elya GOSI, gagalosyaji omwashile hwakwe.
as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.
5 Entebha yonti yayimema nigamba nagamba hayisiwa, papatejile payibha pagoloshe papakwanyushe paile nganiha.
Every valley shall be filled, And every mountain and hill shall be brought low; And the crooked shall become straight, And the rough ways smooth;
6 Bhonti abhebele bhayihulo owaule owa NGOLOBHE.”
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Basi, abhabholele amabongano bhala bhabhaliye ili abhoziwe amwe mpapwo wenzoha wenu yabhasundile amwe ayinjile enkuni yehayenza?
He said therefore to the multitudes that went out to be baptized of him, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Basi fumyaje amadondo gagahwanziwa ulusajilo, wala mgajeahwanza ayanje mmoyo genyu, “Tilinawo udada uIbrahimu eshi embabhola yaje amawe ega, ONGOLOBHE abhajiye ahwubhosrzye uIbrahimu abhana.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 Neshi etwanga tayari ebhehwelwe pamashinshi age makwi. Basi, kila likwi lya sagalipapa amadondo aminza, lidumlwa nalitaje mmwoto.
And even now the axe also lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 Amabungano gabhozya, “Tikhozye wole eshi?”
And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
11 Wabhajibu wabhabhozya, “Yali na magolola gabhele na apele yasaga aunigolola yali nevyalye wape abhombe eshoshesho.”
And he answered and said unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
12 Bhabhasonjezya bhape bhenza ahwoziwe, bhabhozya,”Manyiziji, tubhombe yenu ate?
And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Teacher, what must we do?
13 Wabhabhola, “Mgaje sonjezye ahantu zaidi ya hata hahapangwilwe.
And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you.
14 Asikali bhape bhabhozya bhayanga, “ate nate tibhombe wele? Wabhabhole msafwele omntu wala msashitake ilenka antele myanje no mshahara gwenyu.”
And soldiers also asked him, saying, And we, what must we do? And he said unto them, Extort from no man by violence, neither accuse [any one] wrongfully; and be content with your wages.
15 Basi, abhantu nabhali bhabhagola gaganzafumile, wonti bhasega sebhaga mmoyo gabho enongwa ezya Yohana nkashe umwene Kristi.
And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;
16 UYohana wagalula wabhabhozya bhonti lyoli ane embozya namenze lelo ahwenza ohwemaha ashile ane sembwezizye ayengezye olwabho olye vilato vyakwe. omwahale ayibhoziwa hupepo ozelu no mwoto.
John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and [in] fire:
17 Afwanaje ubheto lwakwa lulimakho no wape ayozya tee mhati yakwe na bhonganye engano yakwe. Mshanga, antele amapetelo aigapemba mmwoto gwa sagaguzima.
whose fan is in his hand, thoroughly to cleanse his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
18 Basi hurusundo hugamwabho aminji, abhalombeleye abhantu.
With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto the people;
19 Lelo omwene oHerode akhalipiwe nomwe kwajili ya Herode, ushe wa holo wakwe, namabhibhi gonti gabhombile o Herode.
but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
20 Ahonjezye eli neli afunjile oyohani mwijela.
added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Bhabhantu wonti bhabhamaushe ahinziwe no Yesu wape ahoziwe wape alabhile emwanya zya higushe.
Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 Upepo uzelu ahishile pamwanya yakwe hufwano ongwebelebele, neshe enjebha izu lya fumile amwanya, “Awe wemwana wane wegene. Ensogwezewe nawe.”
and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form, as a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
23 No Yesu yoyo nahandile amanyizye, ali apate umri wakwe neshe amaha salathini. ategemelwa ajemwana wa Yusufu, wa Eli,
