Luke 3 (LIN) · Opened

1Tango Tibere Sezare akokisaki mibu zomi na mitano na bokonzi, Ponse Pilato azalaki moyangeli ya Yuda ; Erode azalaki moyangeli ya Galile ; Filipo, ndeko mobali ya Erode, azalaki moyangeli ya Itureya mpe ya Trakonitide ; mpe Lisaniasi azalaki moyangeli ya Abilene.In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

2Ana mpe Kayifa bazalaki bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe. Na mobu yango, Nzambe alobaki na Yoane, mwana mobali ya Zakari, kati na esobe.during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

3Yoane akomaki kotambola na etuka mobimba, zingazinga ya moluka Yordani ; na mateya na ye, azalaki koloba : « Bobongola mitema na bino, bozwa libatisi, mpe Nzambe akolimbisa masumu na bino. »He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

4Boye nde ekokisamaki, makambo oyo mosakoli Ezayi akomaki kati na buku na ye : « Mongongo ya moto moko ezali kobelela kati na esobe : ‹ Bobongisa nzela mpo na Nkolo, bosembolela Ye banzela ya mike !as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.

5Mabwaku nyonso ekotondisama, bangomba nyonso ya milayi mpe ya mikuse ekokitisama, babalabala oyo ezali nyoka-nyoka ekosembolama, banzela ya mabulu-mabulu ekobongisama,Every valley shall be filled in, and every mountain and hill made low. The crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.

6mpe bato nyonso bakomona lobiko ya Nzambe. › »And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”

7Yoane alobaki na ebele ya bato oyo bayaki epai na ye mpo ete abatisa bango : « Bana ya banyoka, nani alakisaki bino kokima kanda oyo ezali koya ?Then John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

8Bolakisa na nzela ya bizaleli ete bobongoli mitema, mpe bokoma te komilobela : ‹ Abrayami azali koko na biso ! › Pamba te, nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo ete Nzambe azali na makoki ya kobimisa, wuta na mabanga oyo, bakitani mpo na Abrayami.Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.

9Epasola esili kobongisama mpo na kokata banzete wuta na misisa, mpe nzete nyonso oyo ebotaka bambuma ya malamu te ekokatama mpe ekobwakama na moto. »The axe lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”

10Ebele ya bato batunaki ye : — Tosengeli kosala nini ?The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”

11Yoane azongiselaki bango : — Tika ete moto oyo azali na kazaka mibale apesa moko na moto oyo azangi kazaka, mpe tika ete moto oyo azali na bilei akabola na bato oyo bazangi bilei.John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”

12Bafutisi mpako mpe bayaki mpo ete babatisa bango ; batunaki Yoane : — Moteyi, tosengeli kosala nini ?Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”

13Azongiselaki bango : — Tango bofutisaka mpako, bobakisaka mbongo mosusu te na likolo ya oyo esengeli kofutama.“Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.

14Basoda mpe batunaki ye : — Bongo biso, tosengeli kosala nini ? Yoane azongiselaki bango : — Bobotola mbongo ya bato te mpe bokosela bato makambo te ; kasi bosepela kaka na lifuti na bino.Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” “Do not take money by force or false accusation,” he said. “Be content with your wages.”

15Lokola bato bazalaki kozela na elikya makasi, moko na moko azalaki komituna na se ya motema soki Yoane te nde azali Masiya.The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.

16Yoane azongiselaki bango : — Ngai nazali kobatisa bino na mayi ; kasi ezali na Moto moko oyo azali koya, aleki ngai na nguya, mpe ngai nabongi kutu te mpo na kofungola ata basinga ya basandale na Ye ; ezali Ye nde akobatisa bino kati na Molimo Mosantu mpe na moto.John answered all of them: “I baptize you with water, but One more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

17Asimbi kiyungulu na loboko na Ye mpo na kopetola etando na Ye mpe mpo na koyamba ble kati na ebombelo na Ye ; kasi akotumba matiti oyo ekotikala na nzela ya moto oyo ekufaka te.His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

18Yoane azalaki lisusu kolendisa bato mpe koteya bango Sango Malamu na nzela ya maloba mosusu ebele.With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.

19Kasi Yoane apamelaki mokonzi Erode mpo ete azwaki na libala Erodiade, mwasi ya ndeko na ye, mpe mpo ete asalaki lisusu mabe ebele.But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,

20Na likolo ya mabe nyonso oyo Erode asalaki, abakisaki lisusu mabe ya kokanga Yoane kati na boloko.Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.

21Wana bato nyonso bazalaki kokende kozwa libatisi, Yesu mpe azwaki libatisi. Mpe wana Yesu azalaki kosambela, Likolo efungwamaki,When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

22mpe Molimo Mosantu akitelaki Ye na lolenge ya nzoto, lokola ebenga. Bongo mongongo moko eyokanaki wuta na Likolo : « Ozali Mwana na Ngai ya bolingo, nasepelaka na Yo mingi. »and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
