Luka 1
1 Mamih taengah aka soep tangtae hno kah cilol te muep a thuep tih boelrhai vaengah,
Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters 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,
even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to 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 traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus [God friend];
4 Te daengah ni hiluepnah ol loh n'thuituen te khaw na ming eh.
that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were 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 [Heroic], the king of Judea [Praise], a certain priest named Zacharias [Remembered by Yah], of the priestly division of Abiyah [My father Yah]. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron [Light-bringer], and her name was Elizabeth [My God oath].
6 Pathen hmaiah a dueng la bok om rhoi. Boeipa kah rhilam neh olpaek cungkuem dongah cuemthuek la pongpa rhoi.
They were both upright before God, observing all the mitzvot ·instructions· and ordinances of Yahweh blamelessly.
7 Tedae Elizabeth tah cakol la om tih camoe a om kolla a kum khaw patong la bok om rhoi coeng.
But they had no child, because Elizabeth [My God oath] was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
8 Pathen hmaiah a khosoih vaengkah bangla anih rhoihui te aitlaeng loh a pha.
Now while he served in the priest’s office before God in the order of his priestly division,
9 Khosoih kah khosing bangla, Boeipa kah bawkim khuiah kun tih hmueihphum ham a yo.
according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of Yahweh and burn incense (as the Cohen Gadol ·High Priest· on Yom Kippur ·Day of Atonement·). On the seventh month Ethanim ·Ever-flowing durable stream (in Hebrew), 7· or Tishrei ·[Beginning (in Babylonian)]· on the 10th day).
10 Bo-ul tue vaengah pilnam khuikah aka om rhaengpuei boeih khaw poeng ah thangthui uh.
All the people were outside, praying, at the time of the incense burning,
11 Te vaengah Boeipa kah puencawn tah a taengah a phoe pah tih bo-ul hmueihtuk kah bantang ah pai.
when there appeared to him an angel of MarYah [Master Yahweh], standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Zekhariah loh a thuen doela a sawt dongah rhihnah loh anih a tlak thil.
Zacharias [Remembered by Yah] was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon 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.
But the angel said to him, “Don’t be afraid, Zacharias [Remembered by Yah], because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elizabeth [My God oath], will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John [Yah is gracious].
14 Nang ham omngaihnah neh kohoenah la om vetih anih kah rhuirhong dongah boeih omngaih uh ni.
You will have joy and gladness; and many will 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 will be great in the sight of MarYah [Master Yahweh], and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with Ruach haKodesh [Spirit, Breath of the Holiness], even from his mother’s womb.
16 Israel ca rhoek te a Boeipa Pathen taengla muep a mael puei ni.
He will turn many of the children of to MarYah [Master Yahweh], 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.
He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah [My God Yah], ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to prepare a people prepared for Adonai.”
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.
Zacharias [Remembered by Yah] 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 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.
The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel [Man of God], who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news.
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.
Behold, you will be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things will happen, because you didn’t trust my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”
21 Te vaengah Zekhariah te aka lamso pilnam a om dongah bawkim khuiah a di te a ngaihmang uh.
The people were waiting for Zacharias [Remembered by Yah], and they marveled that he delayed 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.
When he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.
23 Amah kah thothueng khohnin te a cup la a om phoeiah tah amah im la cet.
When the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
24 Te khohnin phoeiah a yuu Elizabeth te vawn tih amah khaw hla nga thuh uh.
After these days Elizabeth [My God oath], his wife, conceived, and she 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.
“Thus has MarYah [Master Yahweh] done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my reproach among men.”
26 Hla rhuk dongah Pathen taeng lamkah puencawn Gabriel te Galilee khopuei, a ming ah Nazareth la a tueih.
Now in the sixth month Elul ·Search, 6·, the angel Gabriel [Man of God] was sent from God to a city of Galilee [District, Circuit], named Nazareth [Branch, Separated one],

to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph [May he add], of David [Beloved]’s house. The virgin’s name was Mary [Rebellion].

Having come in, the angel said to her, “Shalom ·Complete peace·, favored lady! Adonai is with you. Blessed are you among women!”
29 Tedae Mary te tekah olka dongah konglong ngaihit la om tih te toidalnah loh metla a om eh tila a poek.
But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be.
30 Puencawn loh anih te, “Mary rhih boeh, Pathen taengkah lungvatnah na dang coeng te.
The angel said to her, “Don’t be afraid, Mary [Rebellion], for you have found favor with God.
31 Te dongah bungvawn neh na yom tih capa na cun vaengah a ming te Jesuh sui ne.
Behold, you will conceive in your womb, and give birth to a son, and will call his name ‘Yeshua [Salvation].’
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 will be great, and will be called haBen haElohim Chayim [the Son of the God Living]. MarYah [Master Yahweh] God will give him the throne of his forefather, David [Beloved],
and he will reign over the house of Jacob [Supplanter] forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom.” (aiōn g165)

The angel answered her, “The Ruach Kodesh [Holy Spirit, Breath] will come on you, and the power of the Elyon [Most High] will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born from you will be called the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·.
36 Te phoeiah namah huiko Elizabeth te a patong soiah, camoe a yom van coeng ke. Te dongah cakol la a khue te tahae ah hla rhuk lo coeng.
Behold, Elizabeth [My God oath], your relative, also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month Elul ·Search, 6· with her who was called barren.
37 Pathen kah olka boeih long tah a tloel nah moenih,” a ti nah.
For nothing spoken by God is impossible.”
38 Te dongah Mary loh, “Boeipa kah salnu he, na olka bangla kai taengah om saeh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah puencawn tah anih taeng lamloh nong.
Mary [Rebellion] said, “Behold, the servant of MarYah [Master Yahweh]; let it be done to me according to your word.” The angel departed from her.

For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy!
