1 lino mu mwaka ghwa kijigho na ghahaano mu vutavulua vwa kaisali Tibelia, unsiki ghuno uPontio Pilato alyale ghavana ghwa vaYahudi, uHelode alyale m'baha ghwa vughavo a vwa Galilaya, nu Filipo unyalukola ghwake alyale m'baha ghwa vughavo vwa Itulea ni kya Tulakoniti, nu Lisania alyale m'baha ghwa vughavo vwa Abilene.
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2 nu n'siki ghwa gha vutekesi uvukulu vwa Anasi nuKayafa, iliso lya Nguluve likamwisila uYohani umwana ghwa Sakalia ku lihaka.
in the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 akakyulile mu vughavo vwoni kusyuta ikikogha Yoldani, akidalikila ulwofugho lwa kulata vwimila ulusaghilo lwa vuhosi.
And he came into all the region round about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins;
4 ndavule jilembilue mu kilembe kya masio gha m'bili Yesaya kuuti,” ilisio lwa muunhu juno ali kulihaka” muvombaghe vunono mu sila ja Mutwa, muvombaghe vunono mu maghendele amagholofu.
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 ifivonde fyoni filimemesevua, ifidunda fililimua, amasevo ghano ghabindile ghigholosivua, ni sila sino sili na manina sisyilua.
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 avaanhu voni vilukuvwagha uvuvangi vwa Nguluve”
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 pe uYohani akalivuula ilipugha ilikome lwa vaanhu vano vakisile neke vofughue nu mwene, mwe vaholua mu kisina kya njoka isinya miino makali, ghwe veni juno avasyovile kujikimbila ing'alasi jino jikwisa.
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 muholaghe imheeke inofu, kange namungajovaghe mu numbula sinu kuuti,' tulinaghwo uAbulahamu juno ghwe baba ghwitu, uNguluve iwesia kukumwimikisia uAbulahamu avaanha nambe kuhumilanila na mavue agha.
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 tayale inemo jivikilue pa lilela lya mpiki. pe amapiki ghoni ghano naghihola imheke inono, lidumulivua na kutaghua ku mwoto,
And even now is the axe also laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 pe avaanhu mu lipugha vakamposia vakati, “lino lunoghile tuvombe ndani?”
And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
11 akavamula akati, “ndeve umuunhu ali ni kanju ivili anoghile afule jimo kwa junge juno nsila namne jimo, na juno alinikyakulia ghwope avombe vule vule”
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 pepano avasongesia songo vamonga vakisile vope kukufughua, vakam'bula vakati, “m'bulanisi, lunoghile tuvombe ndani?
And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Master, what must we do?
13 akavavula, “namugakong'aniaghe indalama fiijo kukila kino kinoghile kukong'ania.
And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you.
14 avasikali vamonga vope vakamposia vakatisagha, “pe nusue? tunoghile tuvombe ndani?” akavavula akati,” namungatolaghe indalama kwa muunhu ghweni ku ngufu, namungahighaghe umuunhu ghweni ku vudesi. mukwilanaghe nu luhombo lwinu”
And soldiers also asked him, saying, And we, what must we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither exact [anything] wrongfully; and be content with your wages.
15 lino, ulwakuva avaanhu valyale nu lunoghelua ulwa kumughula uKilisite juno ikwisa, kila muunhu isagha mu mwojo ghwake kuva ndeve uYohani ghwe Kilisite.
And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;
16 uYohani akavamula vooni akati, “une nikuvofugha umue na malenga, neke kwale jumo juno ikwisa ali ni ngufu kukila une, kange naninoghile nambe kupinya ingoji sa filatu fyake. ikuvofugha umue ku mwoto ghwa Mhepo uMwimike.
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 with the Holy Ghost and [with] fire:
17 ilihelo lyake lili muluvoko lwake neke kupeeta vunono amasanji gha ngano na kujikong'ania vunono mu kihenge kyamwene. neke inyanya amasanji ku mwoto ghuno nambe naghusimika.
whose fan is in his hand, throughly to cleanse his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
18 mu mbulanisio isingi nyinga alyadalikile imhola inofu ku vaanhu.
With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto the people;
19 uYohani alyadalikile uHelode um'baha ghwa vughavo kwa kukuntoola uHelodia un'dala ghwa nyalukolo ghwake na kuvuhosi uvunge vwinga vuno uHelode alyavombile.
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 neke pambele kange uHelode alyavombile uvuhosi uvunge uvuvivi kyongo. akan'dindila uYohani mu ndinde.
added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 pe lukahumile kang kuuti, unsiki avaanhu vooni valyale vikwofughua nu Yohani, ghwope uYesu kange akofughue. unsiki ghuno akale ikufunya ikyanya jikadinduka.
Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 uMhepo uMwimike akika n'kyanya jaake ku kihwani kya m'bili hwene king'undya, nu n'siki ghughughuo ilisio likisa kuhuma kukyanya likatisagha, “uve veve n'swambango mughanike, uninoghiile kyongo une.
and the Holy Ghost 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.
