Luke 3 (VID) · Opened

1Yali miyaka ja kumi na jihano ja undewa wa Kaizali Tibeliyo na Pontio Pilato nayali yolongoza honhu ha Yudeya na Helodi nayali yolongoza honhu ha Galilaya na mng'holoze Filipo nayali yolongoza honhu ha Itulea hamwe na honhu ha Tlakoniti, hamba Lusania nayali yolongoza honhu ha Abilene kahi.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,

2Anasi na Kayafa wali watambika wakulu. Mihela ajo lizi lya Nguluwi nalimuyila Yohani mwanage Sakaliya kuli honhu hagunuche.during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

3Yohani nakaluta mweng'ha mla mbakane na lwanda lwa Yolodani. Kazangulangusa wanhu, mumgalamchile Nguluwi na kubatizigwa leka Nguluwi yawosele gehile.He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

4Vyoyandichigwe mchitabu cha mloli Isaya, “Lizi lya munhu lyanguchema hagunuche, ‘Mgongomanyileni Mkulu nzila ya heye, mgolole nzila za heye ya kukola.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.

5Hagwile howa hatiligwe, mla mwinuche mowa muselegwe, habinuche howa hagoloswe, nzila zihile zowa zigoloswe.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.

6Na weng'ha womona Nguluwi yowalohola wanhu!’ ”And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”

7Wanhu wenji wali wokuya hala kubatizwa na Yohani na heye kazanguwalonjela, “Hemwe lulelo lwa izoka, yalikohi yowadeteleza kota moibilima ng'halazi ya Nguluwi ilihabehi kuya?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?

8Mlajile kwa madito kota mumgalamchila Nguluwi. Mleche kwaluka sambi kota moibilima ng'halazi ya Nguluwi kwa kulonga, mhaza wa hetwe Abulahamu. Ndanguwalonjelani ng'hatu, Nguluwi kana ludali lwa kugagalula aga maganga gawe wana wa Abulahamu.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.

9Iwago liwichigwa goya kuli mizabi ja igodi. Chila mgodi wohambe ulele mafuza ganojile, wotemangwa na kutajigwa mchiluli.”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.”

10Wala wanhu wamemile wamuuza, lelo tudite choni?The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”

11Nakawedichila, “Yawele na migwanda mili yamgawile nayali hela, hihyo nayali na ndiya yadite hiho.”John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”

12Wakongoza sendi nawo woya kubatizigwa, wamuuza, “Mlangusa tudite ndaze?”Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”

13Heye nakawalonjela, “Mleche konjeza kuhola chila chima chiwichigwe.”“Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered.

14Wamizi nawo wamuuza, “Hetwe natwe tudite choni? Kawedichila, mleche kuhola chinhu cha munhu kwa ludali kahi ne kumtagusa munhu kwa udesi, chikukwileni chila cho mpegwa.”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.”

15Weng'ha wali wobeteza chinhu chimwenga, waluka kiuza mnhumbula za hewo zilingumlapa Yohani. Wazanguvizela heye ndo Kilistu Mlohozi yahaguligwe na Nguluwi.The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ.

16Baho Yohani kawalonjela weng'ha, “Heni ndanguwabatiza kwa mazi, ila kanguya myangu nayali na ludali kusinda heni. Sijeza kudohola ng'weso za makwamba ga heye. Heye kowa yobatiza kwa Muhe Yelile na kwa chiluli.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.

17Heye kana luhelo lwa kuyugulila nyhadikwa, yalunde uhemba kuli ng'hano, na mibadu kojisoma kwa chiluli hambe chizime.”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.”

18Hamwe na luzi lwinji, Yohani nakawahimiliza wanhu yowadamlila Mbuli Inojile.With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.

19Ila Yohani nakamdeuza mndewa Helodi, kamuwala, nakamhola Helodiya mdala wa mng'holoze na kumdita mdala wa heye, hamba nakadita ganji menji gehile.But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,

20Kahi Helodi nakadita chinhu chinji chihile kwa kumuhindila Yohani mchinweng'ho.Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.

21Wanhu weng'ha lowabatizigwe, Yesu naye nakabatizigwa. Hoyali yomlanda Nguluwi, ulanga naugubuligwa,When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

22Muhe Yelile imlagalila kota ng'hunda na lihulikwa lizi kulawa kilanga ilonga, “Hegwe ndo mwanangu ndikuganile, nojezwa na hegwe.”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.”
