Luka 1
1 Mamih taengah aka soep tangtae hno kah cilol te muep a thuep tih boelrhai vaengah,
Inasmuch as many have taken in hand to arrange in order a narration about the deeds that have been brought to fullness 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,
just as they delivered them to us, who became from the beginning eyewitnesses and servants of the word,
3 kai khaw khaeh khaeh boeih ka thuep koep tih hlangcong Theophilu nang taengah daek ham tluep ka poek.
it occurred to me also, having followed closely from the beginning all things accurately, to write to thee in order, eminent Theophilus,
4 Te daengah ni hiluepnah ol loh n'thuituen te khaw na ming eh.
so that thou might know the certainty of the declarations about which thou 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.
It came to pass in the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a certain priest, named Zacharias, from the division of Abijah, and his wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was 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, going in all the commandments and righteous things 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 because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in their days.
8 Pathen hmaiah a khosoih vaengkah bangla anih rhoihui te aitlaeng loh a pha.
But it came to pass during his service as a priest in the course of his division in the presence of God,
9 Khosoih kah khosing bangla, Boeipa kah bawkim khuiah kun tih hmueihphum ham a yo.
that, according to the custom of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to burn incense after entering into the temple of the Lord.
10 Bo-ul tue vaengah pilnam khuikah aka om rhaengpuei boeih khaw poeng ah thangthui uh.
And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside 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.
And an agent of the Lord became visible to him, 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.
And Zacharias having seen, was shaken, 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 agent said to him, Fear not, Zacharias, because thy plea was heard, and thy wife Elizabeth will bear a son for thee. And thou shall call his name John.
14 Nang ham omngaihnah neh kohoenah la om vetih anih kah rhuirhong dongah boeih omngaih uh ni.
And there will be joy and exultation for thee, 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 the Lord, and he should, no, not drink wine and strong drink. And he will be filled of the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's belly.
16 Israel ca rhoek te a Boeipa Pathen taengla muep a mael puei ni.
And he will turn back 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 ahead, in front of him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn back the hearts of fathers toward children, and the disobedient in a mentality of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.
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 agent, How will I know this? For I am aged, and my wife is 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 having answered, the agent said to him, I am Gabriel who stand in the presence of God. And I was sent to speak to thee, and to announce these good news to thee.
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 will be mute, and not able to speak until that day these things will come to pass, because thou did not believe my words, which will 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 they wondered during his delay 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 when he came out, he could not speak to them, and they recognized that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he was beckoning to them, and remained speechless.
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 service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
24 Te khohnin phoeiah a yuu Elizabeth te vawn tih amah khaw hla nga thuh uh.
And after these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and she concealed 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 the Lord has done to me during the days in which he looked, to take away my shame 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 the agent Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 David imkhui kah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Joseph ham te oila a bae pah. Oila ming tah Mary ni.
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary.
28 Te phoeiah huta taengla kun tih, “A lungvat tangtae aw, omngaih lah, Boeipa tah nang taengah om pai,” a ti nah.
And the agent having come in near her, he said, Hail, thou who are highly favored. The Lord is with thee, thou who are blessed 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 having seen, she was perplexed at his saying, and was pondering what kind of greeting this might be.
30 Puencawn loh anih te, “Mary rhih boeh, Pathen taengkah lungvatnah na dang coeng te.
And the agent said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou have found favor with God.
31 Te dongah bungvawn neh na yom tih capa na cun vaengah a ming te Jesuh sui ne.
And behold, thou will conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son. And thou shall 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.
This man will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David.
And he will reign over the house of Jacob into the ages. And of his kingdom there will 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 agent, How will this be, since I know not a 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 having answered, the agent said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee. Therefore also the holy thing that is begotten will be called the Son of 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.
And behold, Elizabeth thy kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
37 Pathen kah olka boeih long tah a tloel nah moenih,” a ti nah.
For no word from God will be 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.
And Mary said, Behold the maid-servant of the Lord. May it happen to me according to thy word. And the agent departed from her.
39 Mary tah tekah khohnin ah thoo tih tlang kah Judah kho ah thahluenah neh cet.
And having risen in these days, Mary went with haste into the hill country, into a city of Judah,
40 Zekhariah im khuiah kun tih Elizabeth te a voek.
and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.
41 Mary kah toidalnah te Elizabeth loh a yaak vaengah a bung khuikah cahni te soipet tih Elizabeth khaw Mueihla Cim neh baetawt.
And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her belly. And Elizabeth was filled of the Holy Spirit,
42 Te vaengah tamlung neh pang khungdaeng tih, “Nang tah huta rhoek lakliah na yoethen coeng tih, nang bung kah a thaih te a yoethen coeng.
and she exclaimed in a great voice, and said, Blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy belly.
43 Kai aih he metlam nim, ka boeipa kah a manu kai taengla ha pawk tarha he?
And why is this to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me?
44 Nang kah toidalnah ol te ka hna khuiah a kun vaengah tah, ka bung khuikah cahni loh kohoenah neh soipet he.
For lo, when the voice of thy greeting happened in my ears, the babe leaped with joy in my belly.
45 Te dongah Boeipa loh a thui te hmakhahnah om ni tila aka tangnah tah a yoethen,” a ti nah.
And blessed is she who believed, because there will be a fulfillment of the things that were spoken to her from the Lord.
46 Mary long khaw, “Boeipa te ka hinglu loh a oep.
And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 Ka mueihla tah ka khangkung Pathen dongah hlampan coeng.
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 A salnu mathoe he a paelki thil coeng dongah tahae lamkah tah cadil boeih loh kai ng'uem uh pawn ni.
because he has looked upon the lowliness of his bondmaid. For behold, from henceforth all generations will regard me blessed,
49 Kai taengah thaom tloe la a saii dongah, a ming tah cim pai saeh.
because the Mighty has done great things to me. And his name is holy.
50 A rhennah tah amah aka rhih rhoek kah cadil cahma ham ni.
And his mercy is for generations of generations to those who fear him.
51 A ban neh a thaomnah a saii, a thinko kopoek ah buhueng aka pom te a taekyak.

He brought down potentates from thrones, and raised up lowly men.

just as he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and his seed into the age. (aiōn g165)
56 Mary te Elizabeth neh hla thum tluk hmaih a naeh phoeiah amah im la bal.
And Mary dwelt with her about three months, and returned to her house.

Now the time for Elizabeth was fulfilled for her to give birth, and she brought forth a son.
58 Boeipa loh a rhennah te anih taengah a khueh tih, a oep te a huiko neh imben loh a yaak vaengah anih te a omngaih puei uh.
And her neighbors and her kinfolk heard that the Lord magnified his mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her.

And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling it by the name of his father Zacharias.
