< Luk'as Dooshishiyo 1 >
1 Shiimets Tewofloso! No dagotse k'aleets keewwotsi kishde'er kitsit tarikiyo haniye shin aywots guut'rnee.
Given that many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those things that really did take place among us,
2 Wosh han noosh beshitswots shin shinon teshts ááwon bek'tswotsnat b́ aap'tso nab́t teshtswotsiye.
just as those who became eyewitnesses, from the beginning, and ministers of the Word delivered them to us,
3 Mank'owere taa shin shino tuzat jam keewo t'iwintsdek'at t s'iliyakoń b́ tarikiyo matsdek'at neesh t guut'etwok'o sheeng wotat taash b́ daatseyi.
it seemed good to me also, most excellent Theophilus, having taken careful note of everything from Above, to write to you with precision and in sequence,
4 Han tk'alwere ndants dano ar b́woto sheegshde dań ndek'isha etaatniye.
so that you may know the certainty of the things in which you were instructed.
5 Herods Yihud datsatse nugús wotat b́teshor, Aabiya kahni fini kayotse fin finirwotsitse Zekariyasi eteetso kahniya b́ tesh. Bíwere Aron naaratse shuwetsu Eelsabti eteets máátsu detsfe b́tesh.
In the days of Herod, the king of Judea, there was a certain priest named Zacharias, of the priestly division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron and her name was Elizabeth.
6 Gitwotswere Ik'o shinatse kááwwotsi bo teshi, Doonzo alonat teron iko bo shapirawona Ik'i shinatse sheeng beya bobefoni bo teshi.
They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
7 Elsabet' mahan b teshtsotse na'o deshatsno botesh, ando gitwotsu ay dek't gaawerwtskno bo tesh.
But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren; and they both were well advanced in years.
8 Manoor Zekariyas kahniwots jirwotsitse Ik'i mootse finosh b́ fini aawa b́tesh, mansha bí Ik'i shinatse b́ kahni fino b́finefera b́ tesh.
Now it happened, as he was officiating as priest before God in the order of his division,
9 Kahaniyots yoots bo k'alfok'ooń doonzo Ik' moots kindt it'ano s'uwiwosh bíats it'o keshb́wutsi.
according to the custom of the priesthood, that his lot was to burn incense, upon entering the sanctuary of the Lord;
10 Ik' mootsnowere it'ano s'uwiyewor, ash jamo úratse ned'de'rni Ik'o bok'onfo.
and the whole multitude of the people was praying outside at the hour of incense.
11 Doonzo melakiyo it'an s'uwiyeyiru t'arap'ezoke k'aniweeron ned'irwo Zekariyas ats be'eeb́wtsi.
Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense;
12 Zekariyas Ik'i melakiman b́bek'or tek'at shatb́wts.
and upon seeing him Zacharias was shaken, and a fear fell upon him.
13 Ernmó melakiyo bísh hank'owa bíet: «Zekariyaso! shatk'aye! Ik'o n k'ontso shishre, n máátsu Elsabet' nungush na'o neesh shuwitwaniye, b́ shútsono Yohansi err s'egetune.
But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, because your prayer was heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
14 B́ shuwewono geneúwi eeno neesh wotituwe, aywotsu b́ shuwewon mank'o genee'úwitunee.
And you will have joy and exultation, and many will rejoice over his birth.
15 Bí doonzo shinatse een wotitwe, weyiniwon dutsets bironat k'osh mashit úsho úyatse, indu maac'otse b́befere S'ayn shayiron s'eenk wotitwe.
For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; he must not drink either wine or strong drink; indeed, he will be filled with Holy Spirit already from his mother's womb.
16 Bí Isra'el ashotse aywotsi bo Doonz Izar Izewer maants aniyituwe,
And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God;
17 Ari nebiyo Eliyas kok'o S'ayn shayironat angon wotaŕ nihwots nibo nana'o maants, aleraw ashuwots nibono kaawwots dan telofo maants aanitwe, ashaashwotsnowere doonzosh k'anbodek'etwok'o woshitwe.»
in fact he himself will go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of fathers to children’ and the disobedient to the mindset of the righteous, to prepare a people made ready for the Lord.”
18 Ernmó Zekariyas melakiwosh «Keewan arik b́ woto eegneya t daneti? Taawere gaawerwtserere, tmáátsunwere gawerwtserane» bí et.
But Zacharias said to the angel: “How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.”
19 Melakiyonwe hank'o ett bísh bí aani, «Taa Ik'o shinatse ned'efo Gebreel taane, doo shishiyan neesh tkeewitwok'o Ik'oke wosheyat waare.
So in answer the angel said to him: “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God; I was sent to speak to you and bring you this good news.
20 Neemó bí aawo b́bodor wotitwo t keewts keewo amaneratsne, mansh neesh t keewts keew jaman wotar b́ s'eenfetso gidik' wotar s'k err nbeetesheti, noon keewono falatsne.»
Now look, you will be silent and not able to speak until the day in which these things happen, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”
21 Manoor ash ashuwots Zekariysi bokotfera botesh, Ik'i mootse b́ ja'atsosh bo adi.
Now the people were waiting for Zacharias and wondering at his delay in the sanctuary.
22 Zekariyas Ik' mootse b́ keshor ash ashuwotsnton keeweyo falratse b́ tesh, mansh bo Ik' mootse bek'o b́bek'tsok'oo danbok'ri, bí b́ kishon kitsfetstni boosh b́ daniyiri bako noon keewo falratse b́ tesh.
But when he came out he was unable to speak to them, and they understood that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary—he kept gesturing to them while remaining mute.
23 B́fiino b́ s'uwi hakon Zekariyas b́ moo maants k'az bíami.
And so, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he took off for home.
24 Muk'i b́teshihakon b́ máátsu Elsabet na'o maac'bwtsi, úts shashosh b moots ááshutsatni b tesh, hank'owo bi et,
Well after those days his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and stayed in seclusion five months. She kept saying,
25 «Doonzo keewi sheenghan taash k'alre, ashuwots dagotse t gac'ewo tiatse k'aaú dek't juu k'rere.»
“So that's what the Lord has done for me in the days when He concerned Himself to take away my reproach among the people!”
26 Elsabet bmac'ts shirtl shashon melakiyo Gebr'el Gelil datsatse fa'ú Naazreti eteef kituts Ik'oke b́ wosheyi.
Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee named Natsareth,
27 B́ woshewwere Dawit naar wottso Yosefi eteef ashosh wid'ets baarna'a s'eenúka b́ tesh, b shútsonwere Mariyami b tesh.
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; the virgin's name was Mary.
28 Melakiyonwere b maants waat, «Nee Ik'i s'aaton s'eentsune, jeeno neesh wotowe! doonzo neentoniye, [Nee máátswotsitse derek neene]» bí et.
So upon entering where she was the angel said, “Rejoice, recipient of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”
29 Biwere melakiyo keew keewatse tuutson aydek'at tek'at, «Jam aatan awuk'o jam aate k'una?» etaat asaabbdek'i.
But upon seeing him she was perplexed at his word and was trying to figure out what sort of greeting it might be.
30 Melakiyonwere hank'o bish bíet, «Mariyame! Ik'i shinatse n baatsirwotse shatk'aye,
The angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, because you have found favor with God.
31 Eshe! Na'o mac'ituune, nungush na'ono shuwiytuune, b́ shútsono Iyesusi etetune.
Now then, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS.
32 Bí were een wotitwe, jamoniyere damb bogo Ik'o naayiye eteetwe, doonzo Ik'o b́ nih Dawit naashi jooro imetuwe.
He will be great, and will be called ‘Son of the Most High’; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David,
33 Isra'el ashaatsnowere dúre dúrosh naashitwe, b́ naashonwere s'uwo deshatse.» (aiōn )
and He will reign over the house of Jacob into the ages; indeed, of His kingdom there will be no end!” (aiōn )
34 Mariyam melakiyosh «Taaho baarna'a s'eenu taanere, bere, hank'ó keewan aak'oneya woto b́faliti?» bi eti.
So Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be, since I do not know a man?”
35 Melakiyonúwere hank'o ett bíaany, «S'ayin shayiro ni ats weetuwe, jamoniyere damb bogts Ik'o angonwere neen gúúpetuwe, mansh niyatse shuwet na'o S'ayno wotitwe, Ik'o naayiye eteetwe.
In answer the angel said to her: “Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will hover over you; precisely for this reason the holy One who is to be born will be called ‘Son of God’!
36 Njaguu Elsabet dab mahani eteere beyat ja'at and b gaweriyakon nungush na'o maac' dek'raniye, b maac'ihakon and shirtl shasho bodrane.
Furthermore, your relative Elizabeth, she has actually conceived a son in her old age and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren;
37 Ik'osh maawet keewo aaliye.»
because any word spoken by God will be possible.”
38 Maniyakon Mariyam, «Hamb! Taa doonzo gonú taane, taash niettsok'o wotowe» bieti. Manoor melakiyo biyoke k'az bí ami.
So Mary said: “Yes, I am the Lord's slave! Let it happen to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
39 Manoor Mariyam gur báár datso Yihud datsomantse fa'a kitu maants kááron tuwat bi ami.
Then Mary quickly got ready and went into the hill country in those days, to a town of Judah,
40 Zekariyas mootso kindat Elsabetsh jamo b imi.
and entered the house of Zacharias and saluted Elizabeth.
41 Elsabet Mariyam bin jamo bi aator b k'aaro bshishtsok'oon b maac'itsi na'o t'oolo gedb́k'ri. Elsabetwere S'ayn shayiron s'eengutsat
Well it happened that as Elizabeth heard Mary's salutation the babe bounced up and down in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with Holy Spirit.
42 B k'aaro eensh dek'at hank'o bi et, «Nee máátswotsitse derek neene, niyatse shuweetwonwe deereke.
And she cried out with a great voice and said: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the Fruit of your womb!
43 Tdoonz ind taan s'iilo b waan taash aak'o mangi eene,
Why am I so favored that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 N jamo t shishtsok'on manoor t maac'otse fa'a na'o gene'on t'oolere.
Yes indeed, because as the sound of your salutation came into my ears the babe bounced up and down in my womb for joy.
45 Doonzoke bish keewets aap'o b́s'eenetwotse nee amantsu aak'o deerek neene!»
Blessed is she who believed, because there will be a fulfillment of the things that have been spoken to her from the Lord.”
46 Mariyam hank'owa bi et «T kashu t doonzi úditwanee,
So Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 T shayiru t doonzn ti aton geneeúitwane,
and my spirit has exulted over God my Savior,
48 Ik'o taan ashitsi ashe dash gonú b́ s'iiltsotse, Hambetse okoon shuwets jamo deretsuniye etetúne taasha,
in that He paid attention to the humble station of His slave (f). Yes indeed, because from now on all generations will declare me to be highly favored,
49 Ik' kup'o een een keewwotsi taash k'alre. B́ shútsonwere S'ayine.
in that the Mighty One did sublime things for me, and Holy is His name.

His mercy is for generations of generations to those fearing Him.

He has done mighty deeds with His arm; He has dispersed the arrogant in the reasoning of their hearts.

He has dethroned rulers and exalted the lowly.

He has filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty.

He has taken the part of His servant Israel, in remembrance of mercy,
just as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed while there is an age.” (aiōn )
56 Mariyamwere Elsabetnton keez shashosh b́teshiyhakon b galomaants aanat k'azbiami.
So Mary stayed with her about three months, and returned to her house.
57 Elsabet b shuwi aawo b́bore nungush na'o shuubk'ri.
Now the time for Elizabeth to give birth was completed and she bore a son.
58 B giyuwotsnat b jag jamwotswere doonzo bish mhetiyo b́ woshtso shisht binton bo geneúwi.
Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had used His great mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.

So it was, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and they started calling him by the name of his father, Zacharias.
60 Indunmó «Mank'o woteratse, b́ shútso Yohansiye» bi eti.
His mother reacted and said, “Absolutely not; he shall be called John!”
61 Bowere bish «N jagotse shútsann s'eegetso konwor aalneya?» bo eti.
So they said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”
62 Maniye okoon nihosh, «N naayi koni err s'egetwok'owe ngeyi?» ett kolon bo aati.
So they started motioning to his father, as to what he would have him called.
63 Zekariyasu bín guut'etuwo bísh bo imetuwok'o aatdek't «B́shutsoniye Yohansiye» ett b́ guut'i, jametswotsu keewmaanatse tuutson bo adi.
Asking for a writing tablet he wrote this: “His name is to be John!” They all marveled.
64 Manoor Zekariyas albero bishwtsat bí eree noonkeewo b́fali, Ik'o údo dek'b́tuwi.
Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue freed and he started to speak, blessing God.
65 Manatse tuutson bogiyi jametswots shatoon tek'bowtsi, keewman gúrmanatsi Yhud dats jamwotsatse shiyeb́wtsi.
(Well a fear came on all who lived around them; and all these sayings kept being talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.

67 Na'i marmat'o nih Zekariyas S'ayin shayiron s'eenwtsat hank'o ett bek'on b́keewi,
Now his father Zacharias was filled with Holy Spirit and prophesied saying:
68 «Bí ashuwotsi mheretiyon waa b́s'iltsonat b́ kashitsotse, Isra'elko Izar Izewer, doonzosh údo wotowe!
“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and provided redemption for His people;

And you, child, will be called Prophet of the Most High, because you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways,

to give a knowledge of salvation to His people by the forgiveness of their sins,

80 Na'onu eenb́wtsi, shayironowere kup'b́wutsi, Isra'el ash jamosh b́ be'efetsosh worwotse b́beeyi.
So the child kept growing and being strengthened in spirit, and he stayed in uninhabited areas until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
