Luk 1
1 Ka talue poung e Theophilus, maimouh dawk kamnuek tangcoung e a konglamnaw hah,
Forasmuch as many have undertaken to draw up a relation concerning the matters fully believed among us,
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.
as those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses of and attendants on the Word have delivered them to us,
3 Kai ni hai apuengcue hoi ka kamtu e a konglamnaw pueng teh atang katang tie na panue thai nahanelah,
it has seemed good to me also, accurately acquainted from the origin with all things, to write to thee with method, most excellent Theophilus,
4 hote konglamnaw teh nang koe pou hruek hane kawi lah ao telah ka pouk.
that thou mightest know the certainty of those things in 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 Judaea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Abia, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.
6 ahnimouh roi teh kâpoelawknaw pueng a tarawi roi, tounhoehe lah ao teh, Cathut hmalah tamikalan lah ao roi.
And they were both just 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 they were both 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 fulfilled his priestly service before God in the order of his course,
9 vaihmanaw e singyoe patetlah cungpam a khoe. Cathut e bawkim thung a kâen teh hmuitui hmai sawinae a sak.
it fell to him by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter into the temple of the Lord to burn incense.
10 Hottelah Cathut koe a sak lahun navah taminaw pueng teh alawilah a ratoum awh.
And all the multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of 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 of the altar of incense.
12 Zekhariah ni a hmu navah a kalue teh a taki.
And Zacharias was troubled, seeing [him], 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 to him, Fear not, Zacharias, because thy supplication has been heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear 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 he shall be to thee joy and rejoicing, 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 before [the] Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with [the] Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
16 Ahni ni Isarel catounnaw moikapap Cathut koe lah a kamlang sak han.
And many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to [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 before him in [the] spirit and power of Elias, to turn hearts of fathers to children, and disobedient ones to [the] thoughts of just [men], to make ready for [the] Lord a prepared people.
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, How shall I know this, for I am an old man, and my wife advanced in years?
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, who stand before God, and I have been sent to speak to thee, and to bring 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 silent and not able to speak, till the day in which these things shall take place, because thou hast not believed my words, the which shall be fulfilled in their 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 awaiting Zacharias, and they wondered at his delaying 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
But when he came out he could not speak to them, and they recognised that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he was making signs to them, and continued 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 service were completed, he departed to his house.
24 Hathnukkhu hoi a yu Elizabeth teh camo a neng dawkvah thapa yung panga touh imthungkhu a kamung.
Now after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
25 Cathut ni taminaw e hmalah kaie yeiraiponae pueng na la pouh toe a ti.
Thus has [the] Lord done to me in [these] 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.
But in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent of God to a city of Galilee, of which [the] name [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 betrothed to a man whose name [was] Joseph, of the house of David; 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 came in to her, and said, Hail, [thou] favoured one! the Lord [is] with thee: [blessed art thou amongst women].
29 Meri ni hote lawk a thai navah a lungtâsue teh hote lawk teh bangpatet e lawk maw ati teh a kâpouk.
But she, [seeing] [the angel], was troubled at his word, and reasoned in her mind what this salutation might be.
30 Kalvantami ni hai Meri na lungpuen hanh. Nang teh Cathut koe minhmai kahawi na hmu toe.
And the angel said to 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 the womb and bear 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 Son of [the] Highest; and [the] Lord God shall 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 the ages, and of his kingdom there shall not be an 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.
But Mary said to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a 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 to her, [The] Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and power of [the] Highest overshadow thee, wherefore the holy thing also which shall be born shall be called 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, Elizabeth, thy kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her that was called barren:
37 Cathut hanelah ka coung thai hoeh e hno buet touh hai awm hoeh telah bout a dei pouh.
for nothing shall be 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.
And Mary said, Behold the bondmaid of [the] Lord; be it to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
39 Hathnukkhu Meri ni, Judah ram mon dawk kaawm e kho buet touh dawk karanglah a cei hnukkhu,
And Mary, rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah,
40 Zekhariah im dawk a kâen teh Elizabeth a pato.
and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth.
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, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with [the] Holy Spirit,
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 cried out with a loud voice and said, Blessed [art] thou amongst women, and blessed 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 to 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 behold, as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped with 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 has believed, for there shall be a fulfilment of the things spoken to her from [the] Lord.
46 Meri nihai, ka lungthin ni Cathut a pholen teh,
And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 ka muitha ni ka rungngangkung Cathut dawk a lunghawi.
and my spirit has rejoiced 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 has looked upon the low estate of his bondmaid; for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call 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 has done to me great things, and holy [is] his name;
50 Cathut ka taket e taminaw teh Bawipa e pahrennae ahnimouh dawk pou a kangning.
and his mercy [is] to generations and generations to them that fear him.
51 A kut hoi a hnotithainae teh a kamnue sak toe. Kâoupkâpawi e taminaw teh koung kathek kayak awh toe.
He has wrought strength with his arm; he has scattered haughty [ones] in the thought of their heart.
52 Bawitungkhungnaw dawk hoi khobawinaw a pabo teh, ka kârahnoum e taminaw a tawmdawm toe.
He has put down rulers from thrones, and exalted the lowly.
53 A von kahlamnaw ka boum ca lah a paca vaiteh, katangrengnaw a kuthrawng lah a ban sak toe.
He has filled the hungry with good things, and sent away the rich empty.
54 Maimae mintoenaw ni a dei e patetlah,
He has helped Israel his servant, in order to remember mercy,
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 spoke to our fathers, ) to Abraham and to his seed for ever. (aiōn g165)
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 to her house.
57 Elizabeth teh a khenae hnin thapa a kuep navah ca tongpa teh a khe.
But the time was fulfilled for Elizabeth that she should bring forth, and she gave birth to 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 kinsfolk heard that [the] Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they rejoiced with 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 it after the name of his father, Zacharias.
60 A manu ni telah na phung mahoeh, Jawhan telah na phung han atipouh.
And his mother answering 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 no one among thy kinsfolk 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 as to what he might wish it to be 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 having asked for a writing-table, he wrote saying, John is his name. And they all wondered.
64 Telah a thut tahma vah Zekhariah teh lawk bout a dei thai teh Cathut a pholen.
And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake, blessing God.
65 Imteng kaawmnaw pueng ni a taki awh teh, hete a konglamnaw pueng teh Judah ram pueng koe koung a kamthang.
And fear came upon all who dwelt round about them; and in the whole hill-country of Judaea all these things 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 heart, saying, What then will this child be? And [the] Lord's hand 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 Spirit, 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, because he has visited and wrought redemption for his people,
69 Talaivan pek kamtawng hoi amae profet kathoungnaw ni a dei e patetlah,
and raised up a horn of deliverance for us in the house of David his servant;
as he spoke by [the] mouth of his holy prophets, who have been since the world began; (aiōn g165)
71 Hete hloutnae teh maimouh na ka taran e naw hoi ka maithoe e naw pueng, kut dawk hoi hloutnae doeh.

to give us, that, saved out of the hand of our enemies, we should serve him without fear

in piety and righteousness before him all our days.

And thou, child, shalt be called [the] prophet of [the] Highest; for thou shalt go before the face of [the] Lord to make ready his ways;

on account of [the] bowels of mercy of our God; wherein [the] dayspring from on high has visited us,

— And the child grew and was strengthened in spirit; and he was in the deserts until the day of his shewing to Israel.
