Luka 3:1-38
3 Mu mwaka ugira 15 w’ingoma ya Tiberiyo Sezari, igihe Ponsiyo Pilato yari buramatari w’intara ya Yudaya, Herodi*+ akaba yari buramatari w’intara ya Galilaya, Filipo mwenewabo akaba yari buramatari w’intara ya Itureya na Tirakoniti, Lisaniya na we akaba yari buramatari w’intara ya Abilene,
2 igihe Anasi yari umukuru w’abaherezi, Kayifa+ na we ari umuherezi mukuru, Yohani+ mwene Zakariya yararonse ubutumwa buvuye ku Mana ari mu bugaragwa+.
3 Nuko Yohani aja mu karere kose ko mu micungararo ya Yorodani, agenda arigisha abantu ngo babatizwe kugira berekane ko bigaye maze bababarirwe ibicumuro vyabo+,
4 nk’uko vyanditswe mu gitabu c’umuhanuzi Yesaya ngo: «Hari ijwi ry’umuntu mu bugaragwa asemerera ati: “Nimutegure inzira ya Yehova*! Nimugorore ibarabara ryiwe+.
5 Umubande wose utegerezwa kwuzuzwa, umusozi wose n’umurambi wose na vyo biringanizwe. Inzira zigoramye zitegerezwa kugororwa, inzira zuzuyemwo ibidunduri na zo zitegerezwa kuringanizwa,
6 kandi abantu bose* bazobona ingene Imana ikiza*+.”»
7 Atangura kubwira amasinzi y’abantu bariko baraza ngo ababatize ati: «Mwa ruvyaro rw’imamba mwe, ni nde yababuriye ngo muhunge uburake buriko buraza+?
8 Nimwame rero ivyamwa bikwiranye n’ukwigaya. Ntimutangure kwibwira ngo: “Data ni Aburahamu.” Ndababwiye ko Imana ishobora gukura abana ba Aburahamu muri aya mabuye.
9 Nkako, ishoka iramaze gushirwa ku muzi w’ibiti. Igiti cose rero kitama ivyamwa vyiza kizocibwa maze gitererwe mu muriro+.»
10 Amasinzi y’abantu na yo yaramubaza ati: «None dukore iki?»
11 Na we akabishura ati: «Uwufise impuzu zibiri* nahe uwudafise n’imwe, kandi n’uwufise ivyo kurya agire gutyo nyene+.»
12 Mbere n’abatozakori baraza kubatizwa+, bakamubaza bati: «Mwigisha, dukore iki?»
13 Na we akabishura ati: «Ntimusabe* ibirenze kw’ikori ritegekanijwe+.»
14 Abasoda na bo nyene baramubaza bati: «Dukore iki?» Na we akabishura ati: «Ntihagire uwo muhohotera* canke uwo mwagiriza ibinyoma+, ahubwo mubumbwe n’impembo yanyu*.»
15 Abantu rero bari biteze Kristu, kandi bose baguma biyumvira mu mitima yabo ivyerekeye Yohani bati: «Ubwo ntiyoba ari we Kristu+?»
16 Yohani yarabishura, akabwira abantu bose ati: «Jewe ndababatiza mu mazi, mugabo uwukomeye kundusha ariko araza, kandi simbereye no kubohora imigozi y’ibirato* vyiwe+. Azobabatiza mu mpwemu nyeranda no mu muriro+.
17 Afise mu minwe igipawa ciwe co kugosora kugira akubure neza imbuga* yiwe. Azokwegeraniza ingano ziwe mu bigega, ariko umuguruka azowuturirira mu muriro utazima.»
18 Yarahaye abantu n’izindi mpanuro nyinshi, kandi abandanya kubabwira inkuru nziza.
19 Mugabo Herodi buramatari w’intara ya Galilaya, kubera ko Yohani yari yamuhambariye ku bijanye na Herodiya umugore wa mwenewabo no ku bijanye n’ibindi bibi vyose yari yarakoze,
20 yongera ikibi mu kindi mu gupfungira Yohani mw’ibohero+.
21 Abantu bose rero bamaze kubatizwa, Yezu na we nyene arabatizwa+. Ariko arasenga, ijuru riruguruka+
22 hanyuma impwemu nyeranda imanuka kuri we imeze nk’inuma. Maze ijwi riva mw’ijuru, rivuga riti: «Uri Umwana wanje nkunda cane. Naragushimye+.»
