1 Mamih taengah aka soep tangtae hno kah cilol te muep a thuep tih boelrhai vaengah,
Inasmuch as many took it in hand to present a history concerning these things which have been fulfilled among us,
2 oltak kah tueihyoeih la aka om rhoek neh a tongcuek lamloh loh aka hmu rhep rhoek loh mamih taengah m'paek uh vanbangla,
as those being eyewitnesses and ministers of the Word have delivered unto us;
3 kai khaw khaeh khaeh boeih ka thuep koep tih hlangcong Theophilu nang taengah daek ham tluep ka poek.
it seemed good to me also, having followed carefully all things from the beginning, to write unto thee consecutively, O most noble Theophilus,
4 Te daengah ni hiluepnah ol loh n'thuituen te khaw na ming eh.
in order that thou mayest know the certainty of the words concerning which thou hast been instructed.
5 Judea manghai Herod tue vaeng ah, Abijah rhoihui khosoih pakhat, a ming ah Zekhariah te om tih Elizabeth aka ming nah Aaron canu te a yuu nah.
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Ahijah, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.
6 Pathen hmaiah a dueng la bok om rhoi. Boeipa kah rhilam neh olpaek cungkuem dongah cuemthuek la pongpa rhoi.
And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord, blameless.
7 Tedae Elizabeth tah cakol la om tih camoe a om kolla a kum khaw patong la bok om rhoi coeng.
And there was no child to them, as Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in their days.
8 Pathen hmaiah a khosoih vaengkah bangla anih rhoihui te aitlaeng loh a pha.
And it came to pass, while he was officiating in the order of his course before God,
9 Khosoih kah khosing bangla, Boeipa kah bawkim khuiah kun tih hmueihphum ham a yo.
(according to the custom of the priesthood he was chosen by lot to offer incense), having gone into the temple of the Lord;
10 Bo-ul tue vaengah pilnam khuikah aka om rhaengpuei boeih khaw poeng ah thangthui uh.
and all the multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense;
11 Te vaengah Boeipa kah puencawn tah a taengah a phoe pah tih bo-ul hmueihtuk kah bantang ah pai.
the angel of the Lord appeared unto him standing on the right hand of the altar of incense:
12 Zekhariah loh a thuen doela a sawt dongah rhihnah loh anih a tlak thil.
and Zacharias was troubled seeing him, and fear fell on him.
13 Tedae anih te puencawn pakhat loh, “Zekhariah rhih boeh, nang kah rhenbihnah te a hnatun coeng dongah na yuu Elizabeth loh nang ham capa pakhat han cun vetih, a ming te Johan la na khue ni.
And the angel said to him; Fear not, Zacharias; because thy prayer has been heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bring forth a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name John.
14 Nang ham omngaihnah neh kohoenah la om vetih anih kah rhuirhong dongah boeih omngaih uh ni.
And there shall be joy and rejoicing, and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15 Boeipa hmaiah a len la om vetih, misurtui neh yu te o loengloeng mahpawh. A manu bung khuiah a om vaengah Mueihla Cim neh baetawt ni.
For he shall be great before the Lord; and he shall not drink wine and strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost even from the womb of his mother.
16 Israel ca rhoek te a Boeipa Pathen taengla muep a mael puei ni.
And he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord, their God.
17 Anih tah a hmaiah Elijah kah mueihla neh thaomnah dongah lamhma ni. Pa rhoek kah thinko te ca rhoek taengla, lokhak rhoek te aka dueng lungcueinah dongla mael ni. Rhoekbah tangtae pilnam tah Boeipa ham a hmoel ni,” a ti nah.
And he will go before Him in the spirit and Power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient unto the understanding of the righteous, to prepare a people made ready for the Lord.
18 Te phoeiah Zekhariah loh puencawn taengah, “Hekah he Ba nen lae ka ming eh? Kai tah patong la ka om coeng tih ka yuu khaw a kum te ham coeng,” a ti nah.
And Zacharias said to the angel: According to what shall I know this? for I am old and my wife advanced in her days.
19 Te dongah puencawn loh anih te a doo tih, “Kai tah Pathen hmaiah aka pai Gabriel ni, nang taengah he rhoek he phong ham neh thui ham n'tueih.
And the angel responding said to him; I am Gabriel standing in the presence of God, and am sent to speak to you and to preach to you these things.
20 Tedae kai ol te na tangnah pawt dongah he he a soep nah khohnin duela olmueh la na om vetih na cal thai mahpawh ne. Amah tue ah ka ol te soep bit ni,” a ti nah.
And behold thou shalt be dumb and unable to speak, unto the day upon which these things may take place; because thou didst not believe my words, which shall be fulfilled in their time.
21 Te vaengah Zekhariah te aka lamso pilnam a om dongah bawkim khuiah a di te a ngaihmang uh.
And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and were wondering because he tarries in the temple.
22 Ha thoeng vaengah tah amih te voek thai voel pawh. Te dongah bawkim khuiah a mangthui a hmuh coeng tila a ming uh. Te dongah Zekhriah loh amih taengah a lu a thuk tih olmueh la phat om.
And having come out he was unable to speak to them; and they recognized that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he was beckoning to them and remained dumb.
23 Amah kah thothueng khohnin te a cup la a om phoeiah tah amah im la cet.
And it came to pass when the days of his ministry were fulfilled, he went away to his own house.
24 Te khohnin phoeiah a yuu Elizabeth te vawn tih amah khaw hla nga thuh uh.
And after these days Elizabeth, his wife, conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
25 “Boeipa loh kai ham hnin at neh a saii tangloeng coeng, te nen ni hlang lakliah kai dogkah hnaelnah te khoe hamla n'hip,” a ti.
That the Lord so hath done unto me, in the days in which He condescended to take away my reproach among men.

28 Te phoeiah huta taengla kun tih, “A lungvat tangtae aw, omngaih lah, Boeipa tah nang taengah om pai,” a ti nah.
And the angel having come to her said; Hail, thou blessed one; the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women.

And she seeing was troubled over his word, and was reasoning what kind this salutation might be.
30 Puencawn loh anih te, “Mary rhih boeh, Pathen taengkah lungvatnah na dang coeng te.
And the angel said to her; Fear not, Mary; for thou didst find favor with God.
31 Te dongah bungvawn neh na yom tih capa na cun vaengah a ming te Jesuh sui ne.
And behold, thou shalt conceive and hear a son, and thou shalt call His name Jesus.
32 Anih tah tanglue la om vetih Khohni capa tila a khue ni. Boeipa Pathen loh anih te a napa David kah ngolkhoel te a paek ni.
He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David:
and He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His Kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
34 Te vaengah Mary loh puencawn taengah, “Hekah he metlam a om eh? tongpa khaw ka ming moenih,” a ti nah.
And Mary said to the angel; How shall this be, since I know not man?
35 Te dongah anih te puencawn loh a doo tih, “Mueihla Cim loh nang n'thoeng thil vetih, Khohni kah thaomnah te nang m'muek sak ni. Te dongah na cun te aka cim Pathen Capa tila a khue bal ni.
And the angel responding said to her; The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee; therefore, indeed, that holy thing that is begotten shall be called the Son of God.

And behold Elizabeth thy kinswoman, indeed, herself having conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month, to her who is called barren.

Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43 Kai aih he metlam nim, ka boeipa kah a manu kai taengla ha pawk tarha he?
And whence is this to me that the mother of my Lord may come unto me?
44 Nang kah toidalnah ol te ka hna khuiah a kun vaengah tah, ka bung khuikah cahni loh kohoenah neh soipet he.
For behold when the voice of your salutation came into my ears, the infant in my womb leaped with joy.
