Luka 3
1 Mwaka wa kumi na tano wa utawala wa Kaisari Tiberio, Pontio Pilato alikuwa anatawala mkoa wa Yudea. Herode alikuwa mkuu wa mkoa wa Galilaya, na Filipo, ndugu yake, alikuwa mkuu wa mikoa ya Iturea na Trakoniti. Lusania alikuwa mkuu wa mkoa 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 Anasi na Kayafa walikuwa makuhani wakuu mjini Yerusalem. Wakati huo ndipo neno la Mungu lilipomjia Yohane, mwana wa Zakariya, kule jangwani.
when Anna and Cayphas were the hye prestes: the worde of God came vnto Iohn ye sonne of zacharias in the wildernes.
3 Basi, Yohane akaenda katika sehemu zote zilizopakana na mto Yordani, akihubiri watu watubu na kubatizwa ili Mungu awaondolee dhambi.
And he came in to all the coostes aboute Iordan preachynge the baptyme of repentaunce for the remission of synnes
4 Ndivyo ilivyoandikwa katika kitabu cha nabii Isaya: “Sauti ya mtu imesikika jangwani: Mtayarishieni Bwana njia yake; nyosheni mapito yake.
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 bonde litafukiwa, kila mlima na kilima vitasawazishwa; palipopindika patanyooshwa, njia mbaya zitatengenezwa.
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 Na, watu wote watauona wokovu utokao kwa Mungu.”
and all flesshe shall se the saveour sent of God.
7 Basi, Yohane akawa anawaambia watu wengi waliofika ili awabatize: “Enyi kizazi cha nyoka! Ni nani aliyewadokezea kwamba mngeweza kuiepuka ghadhabu inayokuja?
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 Basi, onyesheni kwa matendo kwamba mmetubu. Msianze sasa kusema: Sisi ni watoto wa Abrahamu. Nawaambieni hakika, Mungu anaweza kuyageuza mawe haya yawe watoto wa Abrahamu!
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 Lakini, sasa hivi shoka limewekwa tayari kukata mizizi ya miti. Kila mti usiozaa matunda mazuri utakatwa na kutupwa motoni.”
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 Umati wa watu ukamwuliza, “Tufanye nini basi?”
And the people axed him sayinge: What shall we do then?
11 Akawajibu, “Aliye na nguo mbili amgawie yule asiye na nguo; aliye na chakula afanye vivyo hivyo.”
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 Nao watoza ushuru wakaja pia ili wabatizwe, wakamwuliza, “Mwalimu, tufanye nini?”
Then came ther Publicans to be baptised and sayde vnto him: Master what shall we do?
13 Naye akawaambia, “Msitoze ushuru zaidi ya kima kilichowekwa.”
And he sayde vnto the: requyre no more then that which ys appoynted vnto you.
14 Nao askari wakamwuliza, “Na sisi tufanye nini?” Naye akawajibu, “Msichukue vitu vya mtu yeyote kwa nguvu wala kumshtaki yeyote kwa uongo. Toshekeni na mishahara yenu.”
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 Wote walikuwa wanatazamia kitu fulani; basi, wakaanza kujiuliza mioyoni mwao kuhusu Yohane: kuwa labda yeye ndiye Kristo.
As the people were in a doute and all men disputed in their hertes of Iohn whether he were very Christ:
16 Hapo Yohane akawaambia wote, “Mimi ninawabatiza kwa maji, lakini anakuja mwenye uwezo zaidi kuliko mimi ambaye sistahili hata kumfungulia kamba za viatu vyake. Yeye atawabatizeni kwa Roho Mtakatifu na kwa moto.
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 Yeye ni kama mtu anayeshika mikononi mwake chombo cha kupuria nafaka, aipure nafaka yake, akusanye ngano ghalani mwake, na makapi ayachome kwa moto usiozimika.”
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 Hivyo, pamoja na mawaidha mengine mengi, Yohane aliwahimiza watu akiwahubiria Habari Njema.
And many other thinges in his exhortacion preached he vnto the people.
19 Lakini Yohane alimgombeza Herode, mkuu wa mkoa, kwa sababu alikuwa amemchukua Herodia, mke wa ndugu yake, na kumfanya mke wake; na pia kwa ajili ya mabaya yote aliyokuwa amefanya.
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 Kisha Herode akazidisha ubaya wake kwa kumtia Yohane gerezani.
added this above all and leyd Iohn in preson.
21 Watu wote walipokuwa wamekwisha batizwa, Yesu naye alibatizwa. Na alipokuwa akisali, mbingu zilifunguka,
And yt fortuned as all the people receaved baptyme (and when Iesus was baptised and dyd praye) that heave was opened
22 na Roho Mtakatifu akamshukia akiwa na umbo kama la njiwa. Sauti ikasikika kutoka mbinguni: “Wewe ndiwe Mwanangu mpendwa, nimependezwa nawe.”
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.
