Luke 3
1 Mme e rile mo ngwageng ya lesome le botlhano ya puso ya ga kgosi kgolo Teberio Kaefase, molaetsa wa tla mo go Johane (morwa Sakarea) ka a ne a nna kwa ntle mo dikakeng (Pilatwe e ne e le mmusi mo Judea ka lobaka loo; Herode e le mmusi mo Galalea, monnawe Filipo e le mmusi mo Iturea le Trakoniti; Lusaniase e le mmusi mo Abilene; Anase le Kaeafase e le baperesiti ba bagolo ba Sejuta).
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
when Anna and Cayphas were the hye prestes: the worde of God came vnto Iohn ye sonne of zacharias in the wildernes.
3 Hong Johane a tsamaya gongwe le gongwe mo ditlhakoreng tsoopedi tsa noka ya Jorodane, a rera gore batho ba tshwanetse go kolobediwa go supa gore ba sokologetse mo Modimong, ebile ba sokologile mo dibeng tsa bone, gore ba tle ba itshwarelwe.
And he came in to all the coostes aboute Iordan preachynge the baptyme of repentaunce for the remission of synnes
4 Mo mafokong a ga moporofiti Isaia, Johane e ne, “E le lentswe le le kuang mo sekakeng, le re baakanyang tsela e Morena o tlaa tsamayang mo go yone! Mo katolosetseng tsela.
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 Ritibatsang dithaba! Katelang melatswana! Tlhamalatsang ditsela tse di kgopo! Rethefatsang le tsone tse di dikhuti!
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 Ke gone batho botlhe ba tlaa bonang Mmoloki yo o tswang legodimong.”
and all flesshe shall se the saveour sent of God.
7 Se ke sekai sa thero ya ga Johane mo dikokoanong tsa batho ba ba neng ba tsile kolobetsong: “Losika lwa dinoga ke lona! Lo leka go falola molete kwa ntle ga go sokologela mo Modimong ka boammaaruri! Ke gone ka moo lo batlang go kolobediwa!
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 Tsamayang pele lo ye go itshupa ka mokgwa o lo tshelang ka one gore ke boammaaruri lo ikwatlhaile. Le gone lo se ka lwa akanya gore lo falotse ka gore lo losika lwa ga Aberahame. Moo ga go a lekana. Modimo o ka ntsha bana ba ga Aberahame mo majeng a a sekaka a!
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 “Selepe sa katlholo ya gagwe se tlhomilwe mo godimo ga lona, se baakanyeditswe go kgaola medi ya lona le go lo kgaolela fa fatshe. Ee, setlhare sengwe le sengwe se se sa ungweng loungo lo lo siameng se tlaa rengwa se be se latlhelwa mo molelong.”
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 Mme batho ba ba kokoaneng ba fetola bare, “O batla gore re direng?” Hong a ba fetola a re,
And the people axed him sayinge: What shall we do then?
11 “Fa o na le dikobo di le pedi,” naya yo o tlhokang e nngwe. Fa o na le dijo tse dingwe di abele ba ba bolailweng ke tlala.
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 Le e leng bone bakgethisi tota ba ba itsegeng ka bosula jwa bone ba tla go kolobediwa mme ba botsa ba re, “Re tlaa go tlhomamisetsa jang gore re latlhile dibe tsa rona?”
Then came ther Publicans to be baptised and sayde vnto him: Master what shall we do?
13 Johane a re, “Ke tlaa itse jang boammaaruri jwa lona. Tlhomamisang gore lo seka lwa phutha makgetho a a fetang a mmuso wa Seroma o o lo kopang gore lo a kokoanye.”
And he sayde vnto the: requyre no more then that which ys appoynted vnto you.
14 Mme masole mangwe a botsa a re, “A le rona? Jaanong ka ga rona?” Johane a fetola a re, “Lo seka lwa gapa madi ka patiko le thubakanyo; lo se pateletse ope ka ga se lo itseng a sa se dire; mme itumeleleng tuelo ya lona!”
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 Batho botlhe ba solofetse Mesia go tla ka bonako, ebile ba gakaletse go itse gore a Johane ke ene kgotsa nnyaa. E e ne e le potso ya lobaka lwa oura, mme ba ne ba tsaya kgang ka yone gongwe le gongwe.
As the people were in a doute and all men disputed in their hertes of Iohn whether he were very Christ:
16 Johane a araba potso e a re, “Ka nna legale ke lo kolobetsa ka metsi; mme mongwe o e tla yo o nang le nonofo e kgolo go feta yame; yo ke sa tshwanelang le fa e le go nna motlhanka wa gagwe mme ene o tlaa lo kolobetsa ka molelo ka Mowa o o Boitshepo.
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 O tlaa kgaoganya mmoko le mabele, a tshube mmoko ka molelo o o sa khutleng mme a boloke mabele.”
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 A dirisa ditlhagiso di le dintsi fa a ntse a bolelela batho mafoko a a molemo a Modimo.
And many other thinges in his exhortacion preached he vnto the people.
19 (Mme ya re Johane a sena go bona Herode mmusi wa Galalea molato, ka go nyala Herodease, mosadi wa ga monnawe, le ka ga diphoso tse dintsi tse o di dirileng, Herode a tsenya Johane mo kgolegelong, ka go dira jalo a ba a oketsa sebe se, mo go tse dingwe tse dintsi tsa gagwe).
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)
added this above all and leyd Iohn in preson.
21 Erile ka letsatsi lengwe Jesu ka boene a tlhakana le boidiidi jwa batho ba ba neng ba kolobediwa ke Johane. Mme e rile fa a sena go kolobediwa, a rapela, mme magodimo a bulega,
And yt fortuned as all the people receaved baptyme (and when Iesus was baptised and dyd praye) that heave was opened
22 mme Mowa o o Boitshepo o le mo setshwanong sa lephoi wa tlhomama mo godimo ga gagwe, mme lentswe le le tswang legodimong la re, “O Morwaake yo o rategang thata. Ee, o boitumelo jwa me.”
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.
23 Jesu o ne a na le dingwaga di ka nna masome mararo fa a simolola tirelo ya gagwe. O na a itsege e le morwa Josefe.
