Luka 1
1 Mamih taengah aka soep tangtae hno kah cilol te muep a thuep tih boelrhai vaengah,
Whereas many have undertaken to compose a narrative of the things, which have been fully certified 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 they delivered them to us, who were from the beginning eye-witnesses of them, and ministers of the word;
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 thoroughly traced them all from the very first, to write an account of them in order to thee,
4 Te daengah ni hiluepnah ol loh n'thuituen te khaw na ming eh.
most excellent Theophilus, that thou mayst know the certainty of the things wherein 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 king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the family of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
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 in the sight of 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 they had no child, for Elisabeth was barren; and they were both far advanced in years.
8 Pathen hmaiah a khosoih vaengkah bangla anih rhoihui te aitlaeng loh a pha.
And it came to pass, while he was in the order of his course performing the priest's office before God,
9 Khosoih kah khosing bangla, Boeipa kah bawkim khuiah kun tih hmueihphum ham a yo.
according to the custom of dividing the office of the priests, that it fell to his lot to burn incense, entring 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 people were praying without at the time of offering incense.
11 Te vaengah Boeipa kah puencawn tah a taengah a phoe pah tih bo-ul hmueihtuk kah bantang ah pai.
And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord 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 when Zacharias saw him, he was startled and struck with fear:
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 unto him, Fear not, Zacharias; for thy prayer is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, 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 he shall be a joy and transport to thee, yea, many shall rejoice on account of his birth; for he shall be great in the sight of the Lord,
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.
and he shall drink neither wine nor any other strong liquor; and he shall be filled with the holy Spirit even from his birth;
16 Israel ca rhoek te a Boeipa Pathen taengla muep a mael puei ni.
and many of the children of Israel shall he convert unto 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 shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to prepare for the Lord a people well-disposed.
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 unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife far 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.
And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God, and I am sent to speak to thee, and to tell thee 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.
and now shalt thou be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall come to pass; because thou believedst not my words, which shall be fulfilled at their season.
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 wondered at his staying so long 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.
but when he came out he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them, and continued speechless:
23 Amah kah thothueng khohnin te a cup la a om phoeiah tah amah im la cet.
and as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
24 Te khohnin phoeiah a yuu Elizabeth te vawn tih amah khaw hla nga thuh uh.
And after these days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and retired five months,
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.
saying, the Lord hath thus dealt with me in the days wherein he looked upon 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.
But in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee called 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 who was betrothed to a man, whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the name of the virgin 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 when the angel came in to the room to her, he said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured; the Lord is with thee;
29 Tedae Mary te tekah olka dongah konglong ngaihit la om tih te toidalnah loh metla a om eh tila a poek.
blessed art thou among women! and when she saw him, she was confused at what he said, and pondered in her mind what sort of salutation this could be.
30 Puencawn loh anih te, “Mary rhih boeh, Pathen taengkah lungvatnah na dang coeng te.
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast 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 shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son, and 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 Most High, and the Lord God shall give Him the throne of David his father,
and He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever, 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.
Then said Mary to the angel, How can this be, since I am a virgin?
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 answered and said unto her, The holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee, and therefore thine holy offspring shall be called the Son of God: and lo,
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.
thy cousin Elisabeth also hath conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her that was called barren;
37 Pathen kah olka boeih long tah a tloel nah moenih,” a ti nah.
for nothing is impossible with God.
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.
Then Mary said, Behold the servant of the Lord, may it be unto me according to thy word. So the angel departed from her.
39 Mary tah tekah khohnin ah thoo tih tlang kah Judah kho ah thahluenah neh cet.
Then Mary arose and went with speed into the hill-country, to a city of Juda,
40 Zekhariah im khuiah kun tih Elizabeth te a voek.
and came into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
41 Mary kah toidalnah te Elizabeth loh a yaak vaengah a bung khuikah cahni te soipet tih Elizabeth khaw Mueihla Cim neh baetawt.
And as soon as Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the child leaped in her womb, and Elisabeth was filled with 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 cried out with a loud voice, and said, 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 honor to me, that the mother of my Lord should 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 behold, as soon as the voice of thy salutation reached my ears, the child in my womb leaped for joy:
45 Te dongah Boeipa loh a thui te hmakhahnah om ni tila aka tangnah tah a yoethen,” a ti nah.
and blessed is she that believed; for there shall be a performance of the things that were told her from the Lord.
46 Mary long khaw, “Boeipa te ka hinglu loh a oep.
And Mary said, "My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour;
47 Ka mueihla tah ka khangkung Pathen dongah hlampan coeng.
for He hath regarded the low estate of his handmaid:
48 A salnu mathoe he a paelki thil coeng dongah tahae lamkah tah cadil boeih loh kai ng'uem uh pawn ni.
for behold, from henceforth shall all generations call me blessed:
49 Kai taengah thaom tloe la a saii dongah, a ming tah cim pai saeh.
for He that is mighty hath done great things for me,
50 A rhennah tah amah aka rhih rhoek kah cadil cahma ham ni.
and his name is holy, and his mercy is on them that fear Him, unto all generations.
51 A ban neh a thaomnah a saii, a thinko kopoek ah buhueng aka pom te a taekyak.
He hath wrought powerfully with his arm; He hath confounded those that were proud in the imagination of their heart.
52 Mangpa rhoek a ngolkhoel lamloh a hlak tih, tlayae rhoek te a pomsang.
He hath cast down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the humble.
53 Bungpong rhoek te hno then neh a hah sak tih, khuehtawn rhoek a tlongtlai la a tueih.
He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He hath sent away empty.
54 A rhennah te poek sak hamla a ca Israel te a bom.
He hath supported Israel his servant,
55 A pa rhoek taengah a thui bangla, Abraham neh a tiingan taengah kumhal duela a khueh,” a ti. (aiōn g165)
in remembrance of his mercy (even as He promised to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed, ) for ever." (aiōn g165)
56 Mary te Elizabeth neh hla thum tluk hmaih a naeh phoeiah amah im la bal.
And Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her own house.
57 Elizabeth te a om tue a pha coeng tih capa a cun.
Now when Elisabeth's time for her delivery was fully come, 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 neighbours and kindred heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they congratulated her;
59 Khohnin hnin rhet a lo vaengah camoe te yahvinrhet ham cet uh. Te vaengah anih te a napa ming Zekhariah la a khue uh.
and on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child: and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father:
60 Tedae a manu loh a doo tih, “Moenih, Johan la a khue ni,” a ti nah.
but his mother said, No, but he shall be called John:
61 Te vaengah anih taengah, “Hekah ming la a khue te na cako khuiah a om pawt ah,” a ti nauh.
and they said to her, There is none of thy relations of this name.
62 Camoe metla khue a ngaih poek tila a napa te a yavaih uh.
And they made signs to his father, what name he would have him called by.
63 Te vaengah cabael a hoe tih a daek hatah, “A ming tah Johan ni,” a ti tih boeih a ngaihmang uh.
And he called for a writing-tablet, and wrote upon it, His name is John: and they all wondered.
64 Te vaengah a hmui, a lai te khaw pahoi a khui pah dongah cal tih Pathen te a uem.
And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake and praised God.
65 Te vaengah amih tolvael rhoek boeih te rhihnah loh a pai thil. Te dongah hekah olka loh Judah tlang tom te boeih a ngae uh.
And an awe fell upon all that dwelt round about them; and all these things were divulged through the whole hill-country of Judea.
66 Aka ya boeih loh a thinko khuiah a dueh uh tih, “Hekah camoe he metlam nim a om ve?” a ti uh. Tedae Boeipa kah kut loh anih te a om puei.
And all that heard them, laid them up in their hearts, saying, What a child will this be? And the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 A napa Zekhariah tah Mueihla Cim neh baetawt.
And his father Zacharias was filled with the holy Spirit,
68 Te dongah a olphong neh, “A pilnam te a hip tih tlannah a saii dongah, Israel Pathen Boeipa tah uemom pai saeh.
and prophesied, saying, "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,
69 A taengom David im khuiah mamih ham khangnah ki a thoh sak.
and hath raised up an horn of salvation for us,
in the house of his servant David, as He spake by the mouth of his holy prophets from the beginning, (aiōn g165)
71 Mamih kah rhal rhoek neh mamih aka hmuhuet rhoek boeih kut lamkah khangnah,
even salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
72 a pa rhoek taengah rhennah tueng sak ham neh a paipi ciim te poek sak ham,
to display his mercy towards our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
73 a pa Abraham taengah olhlo neh a toemngam te mamih paek ham,
according to the oath which He sware to Abraham our father,
74 amah taengah thothueng hamla rhal kut lamloh hoel n'hlawt coeng.
to grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him,
75 Mamih kah khohnin rhoek boeih te amah hmaiah duengnah neh cimcaihnah ham ni.
all the days of our life.
76 Te phoeiah, camoe, nang tah Khohni tonghma la n'khue vetih a longpuei rhoekbah ham Boeipa hmaiah na lamhma ni.
And thou, my child, shalt be called the prophet of the most High; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord,
77 Amih kah tholh khodawkngainah rhangneh a pilnam taengah khangnah mingnah a paek ni.
to make known salvation to his people,
78 Mamih Pathen kah rhehnah om. Te nen te a sang lamkah khothoeng loh mamih n'hip.
in the remission of their sins, through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring hath visited us from on high,
79 Dueknah mueihlip neh yinnah khuiah aka ngol rhoek ham te a tue vetih, mamih kah kho te ngaimongnah longpuei la hoihaeng ham ni,” a ti.
to enlighten them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet into the way of peace."
80 Camoe tah rhoeng tih mueihla ah khaw rhaang. Te dongah Israel taengah a phoenah khohnin duela khosoek ah om.
And the child grew, and became strong in spirit: and he was in the deserts till the time of his being manifested to Israel.
