Luke 3 (TYX) · Opened

1Mu mvulu wu a kwumu ya bataana (15) wu a emfumu kii Tibere Sedzare mukogho wu a nsie yi a Rome, Ponse Pilate áli mfumu wu a etsulu e nsie kii Yude, Erode mfumu wu a etsulu e nsie kii Ngalile, Filipe mwana a taara a nde mfumu wu a etsulu e nsie kii Iture ya kii Tarakonitide, ya Lisanyase áli mfumu wu a etsulu e nsie kii 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,

2Ane ya Kayife báli bakwuru ba bangaa ba nzaami baba nsomo. Me mu matala mamo Nzaami ályele mandagha ma nde kundaa Dzã, mwana a Dzakari, ku syehe.during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

3Dzã ákadzye mu etsulu e nsie ki eli be-bele a mwele wu a Dzurudẽ. Nde ákabuluta mukwughu wu: «Ligyiŋi mayele, libagha oboghoro kuu ogyiŋi mayele mu kolokolo a masumu.»He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

4Ti bu básono mu mukaana a mubighili Edzayi ti: «Likyi li munde wu li mu okakehe engumbu ku syehe: Ligyighili nzili a Mfumu, lisa mankwulu ma nde makala nsumu!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.

5Nswe mbye sa badzyighi yo Nswe munguo ya nswe nkwighi sa bakirili bye bipere, Mafuru ma manzili sa basa mo nsumu, Manzili ma mali bikumu-bikumu sa basa mo eleheEvery valley shall be filled in, and every mountain and hill made low. The crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.

6Ya baara bwohono sa bamono obvwughu o Nzaami.»And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”

7Nde ákalyele kundaa mpwumu a baara yi áakagya kundaa nde mu oyaboghoro ndiri: «Etswumu kii bampili! Nande aasuo be bu obara nkehe a Nzaami yi li mu ogya?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?

8Mu obo, lisuo bigyighili bi bifaana ya ogyiŋi mayele, ya ka libaana okabululyele mu beme o ti: “Taara a bihi Abarahame”, buulu me ndyele ti: mu mameẽ ma, Nzaami kughu otehebe baana kundaa Abarahame!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.

9Ekwu ayi bamaatwulu ŋa yulu a midza mi muti: nswe muti wu gwene oburu bimburu bi bibwe, lo nde wu okpaa ya wu otsili ku mbaa.»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.”

10Mpwumu a baara yífwulu nde ti: «Lo bihi emakye lifaana osa?»The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”

11Nde ábvuhulu kundaa bo ti: «Munde wu li a binkuru byele, agwa etsyini kundaa munde wu gwene a kye, ya munde wu li a bi-odza, asa bumõ si.»John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”

12Mintolo-mpagha si mígyi mpaala baboghoro bo, ya bályele kundaa nde ti: «Muluo, bihi emakye lifaana osa?»Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”

13Nde ábvuhulu kundaa bo ti: «Ŋa liikatolo mpagha, ka likaluhu mutala wu bátumu o.»“Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.

14Bambumbulu si báfwulu nde ti: «Lo bihi emakye lifaana osa?» Nde ályele kundaa bo ti: «Ka ligwohono kii mbwuru mu mpini o, ya ka lipfiri mpya o, lo liikakala a esee mu mufuru wu a ndaa-beme. Ya likala a esee mu nzi yi baakafiri be mu ngoono.»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.”

15Baara bákabulukebe ya bákabulugwa bifwulu kunsa mikolo mi bo mu nkooro a Dzã, ti ampe nde me Kriste.The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.

16Mu obo Dzã ábvuhulu kundaa bo bwohono ti: «Me ndi mu okaboghoro be mu madza, lo munde wu bvulu me mu mpini li mu ogya. Munde wu bvulu me, ya me ka nkughu onyana musyi a bikoghoro bi nde o. Nde sa aboghoro be mu Mufulu a Ngili ya mu mbaa.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.

17Nde aakwara mukele mu kwogho e nde mu okabala bimburu ya nsele. Nde sa akwu bimburu kunsa etaghala e nde, lo nde sa atsughu nsele ku mbaa yi aagwene okadzimi.»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.”

18Mu maluo ma malagha mama ogwa mpama, Dzã ákabulutsala Nsia yi Mbwe kundaa baara.With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.

19Lo Dzã áfyeẽ Erode, mfumu a etsulu e nsie, mu nkooro a Erodyade, mukala a mbwee a nde, ya mu mandagha mwohono ma mabi ma ási nde.But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,

20Ŋa yulu a mandagha mwohono, Erode ásyimi Dzã ya álo nde mu boloko.Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.

21Bu bamana oboghoro baara bwohono, Yiisu si báboghoro nde. Mu matala ma ákabuono nde, yulu lídzubulu,When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

22ya Mufulu a Ngili áyasughuru ŋa yulu a nde mu efaana kii beeme, ya ndagha yídzumu mu yulu: «We li mwana a me wu mukolo, me aankamono esee mu we.»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.”
