Luke 3 (SBS) · Opened

1Muchilimo che ikumi ni iyanza cho mubuso wa Tiberiasi Sisare- chikwina bulyo Pontiusi Pilato abali mubusi wa Judeya, Heroda ibali muyendisi wa Galileya, mwanchakwe Filipe abali kuyendisa chikiliti cha Ituria ni Trakoniyisi, mi Lisaniasi abali kuyendisa chikiliti cha 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,

2mwi nako ya vuvusi vwa muprisita mukulwana yo hanzi Ananiasi ni Kaishala-inzwi lye Ireeza ni lyeza kwa Johani mwana Zakaria, mwi ikanda.during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

3Aba yendi mu zikiliti zonse zi zimbulukite Jorodani, ku kutaza i nkolobezo ya ku baka ya kuwondela zibi.He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

4Sina mukuñolelwe mwi mvuka ya manzwi a Isaya mupolofita, “Inzwi lya yenke lisumpa mwi ikaanda, 'Mu vakanye i nzila ya Simwine, mu wolole inzila zakwe.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.

5Mikokolombwa yonse mu izuzwe, mi ilundu ni chi ulu mu zi bozekezwe hansi, ni inzila zi nyonokete muzi wololwe, ni zi baka zisa shiyeme muzi zakwe mu migwagwa,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.

6mi inyama zonse muzi bone kuhaza kwe Ireeza.”And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”

7Linu Johani na wamba ku vantu vangi vavali kwiza kuku kolobezwa kwali, “Inwe muvaana va zihili! Njeni yava mi mamelisi kutiya ku vukali vukezite?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?

8Linu he, muvike zilyantu ziswanele ku vaaka, mi kanji muti mukati kenu, 'Twina Abrahama che sheetu,' ni miwambile kuti Ireeza uwola ku busa baana ba Abrahama mwa a mavwe.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.

9Nanga hanu ibbeule li bakanyezwe muhiisi wa masamu. Mu kuti i samu lyonse lisahi zilyantu zi lotu mulitemenwe hansi ni ku sohelwa mu mulilo.”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.”

10vungi vungi vwa vantu ni va tanga kumubuza, ni vacho, “Linu aha tuchita vule?”The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”

11Chetaava nikuti kuvali, “Chikuti muntu wina zizwato zo beele, ali kauhanyeze ni ya sena, nozuna wina zilyo naye achite cho kuswana.”John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”

12Va kunganyi ba mali naabo niveza kuku kolobezwa, mi ni kucho kwali, “Muruti, chinzi chitu lukela kuchita?”Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”

13Na wamba kwavo, “kanji mukunganyi mali mangii kuhitiliza amwa laelwa ku kunganya.”“Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.

14Vamwi masole navo chiva muvuza, ni va cho, “Mi linu iswe vule? Tu swanela ku chita nzi?” Na wamba kubali, “kanji muhindi mali kuyense muntu cha kuhambiliza, imi kanji munyansi muntu cha mafosisa. mulikolwisise kache ntuwelo zenu.”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.”

15Linu vantu hanu hachivava lindile che ntakazo kwiza kwa Kiriste, zumwi no zumwi avali komokelwe mwi nkulo zavo ku amana ni Johani mukuti pona chova njeye Kireste.The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.

16Johani ne taava cha kuwamba kuvali vonse, “Ka changu, Ni mikolobeza ni menzi, kono zumwi ukezite yokolete tota hita Ime, mi Ime kani swaneli ni ku sumununa mihala ye nsangu zakwe. Mwa mi kolobeze cha Luhuho lu Jolola ni cha mulilo.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.

17Chi damiso cha kwe cha haluvuwa cina mwi yanza lyakwe ku joloza luli lu vuwa lwa kwe ni ku kunganya mahila mu chishete cha kwe. Kono mwa hise buhundu ni mulilo usa zimwa.”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.”

18Ni manzwi mangi a mwi e nsusuwezo hape, Johani na kutaza ivañeli indotu kuvantu.With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.

19Mi Heroda mubusi ha nyanswa cha kusesa mwihyavwe wa mwa nce, Herodiasi, mi ni cha zonse zivi zintu Heroda za vapangi,But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,

20ava weli izi kumi landu yakwe: ne yalila Johani mwi ntolongo.Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.

21Linu nikwa va kuti, vantu vonse chivavali kukolovezwe, Jesu naye ava kolovezwe. mi haho havali ku lapela, mawulu niye yaluka,When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

22Mi Luhuho Lujolola mu chi vumbantu cha vuntu ni lweza cha ku shulumuka hali ubu inkuva, mi inzwi nilya zwa mwi ulu, “U mwanangu wa muswisu, uni saka, Ni kondetwa ka chako.”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.”
