Luk 1
1 Ka talue poung e Theophilus, maimouh dawk kamnuek tangcoung e a konglamnaw hah,
SINCE many have attempted to compose a narrative of facts, confirmed to us by the fullest evidence:
2 apuengcue hoi kahmawt ni teh kapanuekkhainaw hoi lawk dawk thaw katawknaw ni maimouh koe a dei tangcoung e patetlah tami moikapap ni ca lahoi thut hanelah a panki awh.
exactly as they delivered them to us, who were eve witnesses from the first, and ministers of the word;
3 Kai ni hai apuengcue hoi ka kamtu e a konglamnaw pueng teh atang katang tie na panue thai nahanelah,
it seemed right to me also, having obtained accurate knowledge of all things from above, to write to thee in regular order, most excellent Theophilus,
4 hote konglamnaw teh nang koe pou hruek hane kawi lah ao telah ka pouk.
to the intent that thou mayest clearly know the certainty of those matters, concerning which thou hast been instructed.
5 Judah ram ka uk e Herod Siangpahrang kut rahim vah Abijah tie vaihma miphun dawk hoi e vaihma Zekhariah teh ao. Ahnie a yu teh Aron e catoun, a min teh Elizabeth,
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abiah: and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elisabeth.
6 ahnimouh roi teh kâpoelawknaw pueng a tarawi roi, tounhoehe lah ao teh, Cathut hmalah tamikalan lah ao roi.
And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7 Elizabeth teh carôe dawkvah ahnimouh roi teh ca tawn roi hoeh. A kum haiyah a cue poung roi toe.
And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were far advanced in years.
8 Hatnavah, Zekhariah teh amae a huinaw hoi cungtalah atueng a pha toung dawkvah, Cathut hmalah vaihma thaw a tawk lahun nah,
And it came to pass, as he discharged his priestly office in the order of his periodical ministration before God,
9 vaihmanaw e singyoe patetlah cungpam a khoe. Cathut e bawkim thung a kâen teh hmuitui hmai sawinae a sak.
according to the custom of the priesthood, it fell to his lot to burn the incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
10 Hottelah Cathut koe a sak lahun navah taminaw pueng teh alawilah a ratoum awh.
And all the multitude of people was praying without, at the time of the burning the incense.
11 Hatnavah Cathut e kalvantami teh Zekhariah hmalah a kamnue teh hmuitui hmaisawi thuengnae aranglah a kangdue.
And an angel of the Lord appeared to him standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Zekhariah ni a hmu navah a kalue teh a taki.
And Zacharias was agitated greatly at the sight, and fear fell upon him.
13 Kalvantami ni Zekhariah taket hanh, nange ratoumnae teh Cathut ni a thai toe. Na yu Elizabeth teh ca tongpa a khe han, a min teh Jawhan telah na phung han.
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bring thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
14 Nang teh na konawm vaiteh na lunghawi han, hote ca tongpa na khe kecu dawk taminaw pueng hai a konawm awh han.
And it shall give thee joy and exultation; and many shall rejoice at his birth:
15 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni teh Cathut hmalah ka talue e tami lah ao han. Misurtui hoi parui kawinaw pueng net mahoeh. A manu e von thung ao nahoi Kathoung Muitha hoi akawi han.
for he shall be great in the sight of the Lord; and he shall never drink wine, nor any intoxicating liquor; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.
16 Ahni ni Isarel catounnaw moikapap Cathut koe lah a kamlang sak han.
And many of the children of Israel shall he turn unto the Lord, their God.
17 Ahni teh Cathut ni a tha e laicei lah ao vaiteh Profet Elijah patetlah muitha hnotithainae hoi kakawi e tami lah ao han. A napanaw hoi a capanaw kâpo sak vaiteh lawk ka ngai hoeh e taminaw hah tami kalannaw e lungangnae lam koe lah bout a hrawi han. Cathut e taminaw teh Bawipa hanelah coungkacoe lah ao thai nahan kârakueng awh telah a dei.
And he shall go forth before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to convert the hearts of fathers with their children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to prepare a people ready for the Lord.
18 Zekhariah ni kalvantami koevah hote hno a coung thai han doeh telah bangtelah hoi maw ka panue thai han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai teh, ka matawng toe, ka yu hai a matawng toe telah atipouh.
And Zacharias said to the angel, By what shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife far advanced in her age.
19 Kalvantami ni kai teh Gabriel doeh, hete lunghawinae kamthang nang koe dei hanelah, na ka patoun e Cathut hmalah ka kangdout e doeh.
And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and I have been sent to speak to thee, and to proclaim these glad tidings to thee.
20 Nang teh kaie lawk na tang hoeh dawkvah hete hno a kuep hoehnahlan totouh lawk dei thai laipalah, na lawk a a han. Kaie ka lawk teh atueng a pha toteh a kuep han telah a dei pouh.
And behold, thou shalt be dumb, and unable to speak, until that day when these things shall come to pass, because thou hast not believed my words, which shall be fulfilled at their exact time.
21 Taminaw ni Zekhariah teh ngaihawi laihoi a ring awh teh bangkongmaw bawkim thung atu sittouh a o vaw titeh a kângairukhai awh.
And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
22 Ahni teh bawkim thung hoi a tâco navah lawk a dei thai hoeh dawkvah, kamnuenae a hmu telah a panue awh. Zekhariah teh a lawk a a dawkvah a kut khok hoi ahnimanaw koe a yavai pouh
And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he himself made signs to them, and continued deaf and dumb.
23 Vaihma thaw a tawk e atueng abaw hnukkhu Zekhariah teh im lah a ban.
And it came to pass, when the days of his ministry were fulfilled, he went to his own house.
24 Hathnukkhu hoi a yu Elizabeth teh camo a neng dawkvah thapa yung panga touh imthungkhu a kamung.
And after those days Elisabeth his wife conceived, and kept herself in retirement five months, saying,
25 Cathut ni taminaw e hmalah kaie yeiraiponae pueng na la pouh toe a ti.
Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days in which he looked upon me to take away my reproach among men.
26 Thapa yung taruk navah Cathut ni kalvantami Gabriel koe, Galilee ram Nazareth kho dawk kaawm e tangla koe a patoun.
Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, the name of which was Nazareth,
27 Hote tangla teh Devit miphun a min Joseph ka kâphung e tami hoi kâhâ tangcoung e lah ao. A min teh Meri doeh.
to a virgin of the house of David, betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
28 Kalvantami ni Meri koe a tho teh na konawm haw, yawhawinae ka coe e napui nang teh Cathut ni na okhai telah atipouh.
And the angel coming in to her said, All hail! O thou highly favoured one! the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 Meri ni hote lawk a thai navah a lungtâsue teh hote lawk teh bangpatet e lawk maw ati teh a kâpouk.
And when she saw him, she was greatly agitated at his address: and reasoned in herself what kind of salutation this could be.
30 Kalvantami ni hai Meri na lungpuen hanh. Nang teh Cathut koe minhmai kahawi na hmu toe.
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God.
31 Nang teh camo na neng vaiteh ca tongpa na khe han, a min teh Jisuh telah na phung han.
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS.
32 Hote capa teh ka lentoe poung e tami lah ao vaiteh Lathueng Poung e Capa telah kaw lah ao han. Cathut ni ahni teh a na pa Devit e bawitungkhung a poe han.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father;
33 Ahni ni Jakop catounnaw hah pout laipalah a uk han. Ahnie uknaeram teh poutnae awm mahoeh telah atipouh. (aiōn g165)
and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
34 Meri ni kai teh tongpa hoi kâ panuenae awmhoeh rah, hete hno heh kai koe bangtelamaw a coung thai han telah kalvantami hah a pacei.
And Mary said, How shall this be, seeing I know not man?
35 Kalvantami ni Kathoung Muitha nang dawk a pha toteh Lathueng Poung e bahu nang dawk ao han. Hatdawkvah khe lah kaawm e kathounge camo hah Cathut capa telah kaw lah ao han.
And the angel answering said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee; wherefore also the Holy One that shall be born of thee, shall be called the Son of God.
36 Hothloilah cakaroe telah kaw e nange na hui Elizabeth teh camo a nengnae thapa yung taruk touh a pha toe.
And, behold, Elisabeth thy cousin, she also hath conceived in her old age: and this is the fifth month of pregnancy with her who was called barren.
37 Cathut hanelah ka coung thai hoeh e hno buet touh hai awm hoeh telah bout a dei pouh.
For there is nothing impossible with God.
38 Meri ni kai teh Cathut e a sannu doeh, Bawipa e lawk patetlah kai dawk kuep lawiseh telah a dei pouh hnukkhu kalvantami ni a ceitakhai.
Then said Mary, Behold a servant of the Lord, be it to me according to thy declaration. And the angel departed from her.
39 Hathnukkhu Meri ni, Judah ram mon dawk kaawm e kho buet touh dawk karanglah a cei hnukkhu,
Then Mary arose in those days, and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah,
40 Zekhariah im dawk a kâen teh Elizabeth a pato.
and entered into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elisabeth.
41 Meri ni a patonae lawk Elizabeth ni a thai navah a von thung e camo teh a kâroe. Elizabeth teh Kathoung Muitha hoi akawi teh,
And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped for joy in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
42 nang teh napuinaw pueng hlak yawkahawipoung e lah na o. Nange na von thung kaawm e camo hai a yawkahawi e tami doeh.
and she exclaimed with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43 Ka Bawipa e a manu ni kai koe a pha navah yawhawinae bangkongmaw kai ni ka coe.
And whence is this favour shewn me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Nange na lawk kai ni ka thai navah kaie ka von thung e camo teh a lunghawi teh a coukdouk.
For, lo! as the voice of thy salutation reached my ears, the babe leaped for joy in my womb.
45 Bawipa ni a dei e lawk a kuep mingming han doeh telah ka yuem e napui teh a yawkahawi e doeh telah a hram laihoi a dei.
And blessed is she that hath believed; for there shall be a fulfilment of the things told her from the Lord.
46 Meri nihai, ka lungthin ni Cathut a pholen teh,
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 ka muitha ni ka rungngangkung Cathut dawk a lunghawi.
and my spirit hath exulted in God my Saviour:
48 Bangkongtetpawiteh, amamae a sannu a kârahnoumnae na hmu pouh toe. Atu hoi hmalah ka tho hane a tami pueng ni a yawkahawi e tami telah na dei awh han.
for he hath looked upon the lowly state of his maid-servant: for, lo! henceforth shall all generations pronounce me blessed.
49 Athaonae hoi kakawi e Cathut ni hno kalen kai hanlah na sak pouh toe. A min teh thoung raw naseh.
For the Mighty One hath done great things for me; and holy is his name.
50 Cathut ka taket e taminaw teh Bawipa e pahrennae ahnimouh dawk pou a kangning.
And his mercy is upon those who fear him, from generation to generation.
51 A kut hoi a hnotithainae teh a kamnue sak toe. Kâoupkâpawi e taminaw teh koung kathek kayak awh toe.
He hath displayed strength from his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 Bawitungkhungnaw dawk hoi khobawinaw a pabo teh, ka kârahnoum e taminaw a tawmdawm toe.
He hath cast down potentates from the throne, and hath exalted the lowly.
53 A von kahlamnaw ka boum ca lah a paca vaiteh, katangrengnaw a kuthrawng lah a ban sak toe.
He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
54 Maimae mintoenaw ni a dei e patetlah,
He hath succoured Israel his servant, that he might be mindful of mercy for ever; (aiōn g165)
55 Abraham koehoi a catounnaw koe pahrennae pou a sak hanelah a pouk teh, amae san Isarelnaw a tawmdawm toe telah atipouh. (aiōn g165)
as he had spoken to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed.
56 Meri teh Elizabeth koe thapa yung thum touh ao hnukkhu a ma im bout a ban.
And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her home.
57 Elizabeth teh a khenae hnin thapa a kuep navah ca tongpa teh a khe.
Now Elisabeth’s time was up that she should be delivered; and she brought a son.
58 Cathut ni ka taluepoung e pahrennae Elizabeth koe a kamnue sak e hah imteng e a huikonaw ni a thai navah, ahni hoi cungtalah a konawm awh.
And her neighbours and her relations heard, that the Lord had magnified his mercy upon her; and they congratulated her.
59 Ataroe hnin vah, camo e vuensoma hanelah, a tho awh teh, a na pa e a min Zekhariah patetlah phung hane a kâdei awh.
And it came to pass, on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him after the name of his father, Zacharias.
60 A manu ni telah na phung mahoeh, Jawhan telah na phung han atipouh.
And his mother spake and said, No; but he shall be called John.
61 Ahnimouh ni hai, nangmae miphun dawk telah min phung e tami buet touh hai awmhoeh rah atipouh awh.
And they said to her, There is not one among thy relations, who is called by this name.
62 Hathnukkhu, a na pa ni bangtelamaw phung han a ngai telah a pacei awh.
And they made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
63 A na pa ni hai calung a hei teh Jawhan telah a min a thut navah, taminaw pueng ni kângai a ru awh.
And desiring a writing tablet, he wrote, saying, John is his name. And they were all surprised.
64 Telah a thut tahma vah Zekhariah teh lawk bout a dei thai teh Cathut a pholen.
Instantly then his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosed, and he burst out in praises to God.
65 Imteng kaawmnaw pueng ni a taki awh teh, hete a konglamnaw pueng teh Judah ram pueng koe koung a kamthang.
And great awe fell on all those who dwelt around them: and in all the mountainous country of Judea, all these circumstances were the subject of conversation.
66 Ka thai e naw pueng ni a lung thung a pâkuem awh teh, hete camo teh bangpatet e tami lah maw ao han titeh a kâpankhai awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh Bawipa e hnotithainae teh camo hoi cungtalah ao.
And all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, Well! what a child will this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 Camo e a na pa Zekhariah teh, Kathoung Muitha hoi akawi teh profet lawk a dei,
And Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
68 Isarelnaw e kahring Cathut teh yawhawinae awmseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh Bawipa ni amae a taminaw na kountouk teh ratangnae na sak pouh toe.
Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel; for he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people;
69 Talaivan pek kamtawng hoi amae profet kathoungnaw ni a dei e patetlah,
and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David:
as he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been from the beginning: (aiōn g165)
71 Hete hloutnae teh maimouh na ka taran e naw hoi ka maithoe e naw pueng, kut dawk hoi hloutnae doeh.
even preservation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
72 Maimae mintoenaw koe lung na patawnae kamnue sak hane hoi,
to perform mercy towards our fathers, and to remember his own holy covenant:
73 maimanaw taran kut dawk hoi na rungngang vaiteh,
the oath which he sware to Abraham our father,
74 hringyung lam lungpuennae tawn laipalah thoungnae, lannae lahoi Cathut bawk thai nahan,
to give us, that we, secure from fear, rescued from the hands of our enemies, should serve him,
75 maimae na pa Abraham koe thoungnae lawk a kam e hah pahnim hoeh nahanelah doeh.
in righteousness and holiness before him, all the days of our life.
76 Camo nang, nang hai Lathueng Poung e profet telah na kaw awh han.
And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Most High; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
77 Bangkongtetpawiteh, maimae Cathut ni yonnae a ngaithoum teh rungngangnae dawk pha thainae a kong hah, amae taminaw koe pâpho vaiteh, Cathut e lamthung rakueng hanelah, nang teh hmalah na cei han.
to give the knowledge of salvation to his people, by the remission of their sins,
78 Hote pahrennae lahoi kalvan hoi kanî raeng maimouh dawk a pha teh,
through the bowels of mercy of our God; with which he hath visited us, as the dawn of the morning from on high,
79 hmonae hoi duenae tâhlip dawk kaawm e naw koe a ang vaiteh, maimouh koe roumnae lamthung na patue awh han telah a dei.
to illumine those who sat in darkness, and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet into the way of peace.
80 Hote camo teh, a roung takhang teh muitha thaonae hoi akawi. Isarel miphunnaw koe a kamnue hoehroukrak thingyeiyawn vah ao.
And the child grew, and became mighty in spirit, and was in the deserts until the days of his public exhibition to Israel.
