Luka 1
1 Ambuje che Teofilo: Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵatesile iŵakombwele kulemba kwa ukotopasyo asila ngani syasikopochele pa uweji.
Inasmuch as many undertook to draw up a narration concerning the accomplished among us things,
2 Ŵalembile mpela yatite pakusalilwa ni ŵandu ŵaŵasiweni ngani syo kwa meeso gao chitandile kundanda ni kuŵa achikatumetume ŵa Liloŵe lya Akunnungu.
even as delivered [them] to us those from [the] beginning eyewitnesses and servants having been of the word,
3 Kwapele ambuje che Teofilo, panamasile kuusosasosa usyene wose chambone kwa moŵa gamajinji, naiweni yambone kuti nannembele kwa uchenene mpela iyatite paakopochela,
it seemed good also to me also to me having been acquainted from the first with all things carefully with method to you to write, most excellent Theophilus,
4 kuti nomwe nkombole kuumanyilila usyene wa yeila yanjiganyikwe.
so that you may know concerning which you were instructed [of the] things the certainty.
5 Katema che Helode paŵaliji mwenye jwa ku Yudea, paliji ni jwambopesi jwa Akunnungu jumo liina lyao che Sakalia jwa mpingo wa ŵambopesi waukwimililwa ni che Abiya. Ŵankwawo ŵaŵilangagwa che Elisabeti, nombewo ŵaliji ŵa lukosyo lwa jwambopesi che Haluni.
There was in the days of Herod (*k*) king of Judea a priest certain named Zechariah of [the] division of Abijah, and (the *k*) wife (of him *N(k)O*) of the daughters of Aaron and the name of her Elizabeth.
6 Wose ŵaŵili ŵaliji ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu, achitamaga nkukamulisya makanyo ni malajisyo ga Ambuje pangali sambi.
They were now righteous both (in front of *N(k)O*) God walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7 Nganaakola ŵanache pakuŵa che Elisabeti ŵaliji ngakuŵeleka, nombe wose ŵaŵili ŵaliji achekulwipe nnope.
And no there was to them child, inasmuch as was Elizabeth barren and both having advanced in the years of them were.
8 Lyuŵa limo che Sakalia pajaliji samu jao jakupanganya masengo ga chimbopesi pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu,
It came to pass now in the priestly serving of him in the order of the division of him before God,
9 Mpela iyatite pakusyoŵeleka che Sakalia ŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu kwagudugudu, kuti ajinjile pa Nyuumba ja Ambuje atutumye ubani.
according to the custom of the priesthood the lot picked [him as] the [one] to burn incense entering into the temple of the Lord;
10 Ŵandu wose ŵaŵasongangene ŵaliji paasa aninkupopela katema kakututumya ubani.
And all the multitude were of the people praying outside at the hour of the incense.
11 Katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje jwankopochele che Sakalia ni kwima kundyo kwa chilisa cha kututumichisya ubani.
Appeared then to him an angel of [the] Lord already standing at [the] right of the altar of the incense;
12 Che Sakalia paŵammweni katumetume jwa kwinani ŵasupwiche ni kukamulwa ni lipamba.
And was troubled Zechariah having seen [him], and fear fell upon him.
13 Nambo katumetume jwa kwinani ŵansalile, “Che Sakalia nkajogopa pakuŵa Akunnungu akupikene kupopela kwenu ni ŵankwenu che Elisabeti chammelechele mwanache jwannume, nomwe chimwaŵilanje a Yohana.
Said then to him the angel; Not do fear Zechariah; because has been heard the prayer of you, and the wife of You Elizabeth will bear a son to you, and you will call the name of him John.
14 Chinsangalale nnope ni ŵandu ŵajinji chachine ligongo lya kupagwa kwakwe.
And he will be joy to you and gladness, and many at the (birth *N(k)O*) of him will rejoice.
15 Chachiŵa jwankulu paujo pa Ambuje. Ngaang'wa divai ng'o, chalongoswe ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu kutyochela nnutumbo mwa achikulugwe.
He will be for great before the Lord, and wine and strong drink certainly not shall he drink, and [of the] Spirit Holy he will be filled even from [the] womb of [the] mother of him.
16 Che Yohana chiŵausye ŵandu ŵajinji ŵa ku Isilaeli kwa Ambuje Akunnungu ŵao.
And many of the sons of Israel he will turn to [the] Lord the God of them,
17 Ŵelewo chiŵalongolele Ambuje akuno achilongoswaga ni machili ni mbumu mpela ji che Elia, kuti ŵalumbanye achatati ni achiŵana ŵao, chiŵatende ŵangakwajitichisya Akunnungu aŵanje ni nganisyo syambone ni kwaŵika chile ŵandu kwa Ambuje.”
And he himself will go forth before Him in [the] spirit and power of Elijah to turn [the] hearts of [the] fathers to [the] children and [the] disobedient to [the] wisdom of [the] righteous, to make ready for [the] Lord a people prepared.
18 Che Sakalia ŵammusisye katumetume jwa kwinani jo kuti, “Chichi chachichiimanyisye yeleyo? Pakuŵa uneji ni ŵankwangu tuchekulwipe.”
And said Zechariah to the angel; By what will I know this? I myself for am an old man, and the wife of mine having advanced in the years of her.
19 Katumetume jwa kwinani jo ŵaajanjile che Sakalia, “Une ni Gabulieli, katumetume jwa Akunnungu, ndumikwe kuŵecheta nomwe ni kunsalila ngani jambone ji.
And answering the angel said to him; I myself am Gabriel the [one] standing before God and I was sent to speak to you and to bring glad tidings to you these.
20 Mpikane, chimme jwangaŵelecheta, ngankombola kuŵecheta mpaka lyuŵa pachigakopochele gelego, pakuŵa nganingakulupilila maloŵe gangu, nombego chigatimile kwa katema kakwe.”
And behold you will be silent and not able to speak until that day may happen these things, in return for that not you did believe in the words of mine which will be fulfilled in the season of them.
21 Kele katema ko ŵandu wose ŵaliji aninkwalindilila che Sakalia akuno achisimongaga kukaŵa kwao mu Nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
And were the people expecting Zechariah and they were wondering at the delaying in the temple of him.
22 Che Sakalia paŵakopweche paasa nganakombola kuŵecheta nawo. Nipele ŵandu ŵaimanyilile kuti aiweni yakwiwona mu Nyuumba ja Akunnungu. Ŵajendelechele kuŵecheta nawo kwa makono pakuŵa ŵaliji ngakuŵecheta.
Having come out then not he was able to speak to them; and they recognized that a vision he has seen in the temple. And he himself was making signs to them and was remaining mute.
23 Paŵamalisisye moŵa gao ga kupanganya masengo ga umbopesi, che Sakalia ŵausile kumusi.
And it came to pass when were fulfilled the days of the service of him, he departed to the home of him.
24 Kanyuma kanandi che Elisabeti ŵankwawo che Sakalia ŵaliji pachiilu. Nganatyoka mu nyuumba katema ka miesi nsano.
After then these days conceived Elizabeth the wife of him and was hiding herself months five saying
25 Achiŵechetaga kuti, “Yeleyi ni yambanganyichisye Ambuje, angamwisye ni kundyosyesya soni syangu paujo pa ŵandu.”
that Thus to me has done (the *k*) Lord in [the] days in which He looked upon [me] to take away (the *k*) disgrace of mine among men.
26 Pa mwesi wa sita wa chitumbo cha che Elisabeti, Akunnungu ŵantumile Gabulieli, katumetume jwa kwinani ajaule musi wa ku Nasaleti chilambo cha ku Galilaya.
In now the month sixth was sent the angel Gabriel (by *N(k)O*) God to a city of Galilee whose name [was] Nazareth
27 Ajaule kwa mwalimwalipe liina lyao che Maliamu juŵatomelwe ni jwannume, liina lyao che Yusufu, jwa lukosyo lwa che Daudi.
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name [was] Joseph of [the] house of David, and the name of the virgin [was] Mary.
28 Katumetume jwa kwinani ŵanjaulile ni kwasalila, “Ngunkomasya, mmwejo jundi ni upile! Ambuje ali pamo nomwe!”
And having come (*ko*) (angel *KO*) to her he said; Greetings! you graciously favored; The Lord [is] with you. (blessed [are] you yourself among women. *KO*)
29 Che Maliamu paŵagapilikene gele maloŵe go ŵasupwiche nnope ni kuganisya kuti chikomasyo chi malumbo gakwe chichi?
And (having seen [him] *K*) at the statement she was troubled (of him *k*) and was pondering what kind would be salutation this.
30 Katumetume jwa kwinani ŵansalile, “Che Maliamu, nkajogopa pakuŵa Akunnungu anonyelwe nomwe.
And said the angel to her; Not do fear Mary, you have found for favor with God.
31 Mpikane, chimme ŵa pachiilu, chimummeleche mwanache jwannume, nomwe chimummilanje Che Yesu.
and behold you will conceive in womb and will bring forth a son and you will call the name of Him Jesus.
32 Jwelejo chaŵe jwankulu ni chaŵilanjikwe Mwana jwa Akumanani. Ambuje Akunnungu chiŵape umwenye wa che Daudi, Ambuje ŵao.
He will be great and Son of [the] Most High He will be called, and will give to Him [the] Lord God the throne of David of the father of Him,
33 Pelepo chachilulongosya lukosyo lwa che Yakobo moŵa gose pangali mbesi, ni umwenye wakwe ngauika kumbesi.” (aiōn g165)
and He will reign over the house of Jacob to the ages, and of the kingdom of Him not there will be an end! (aiōn g165)
34 Che Maliamu ŵanjanjile Katumetume jwa kwinani, “Ana chiikomboleche chinauli pakuŵa une ngangummanyilila jwannume?”
Said then Mary to the angel; How will be this since a man not I know?
35 Katumetume jwa kwinani ŵanjanjile che Maliamu, “Mbumu jwa Akunnungu chantuluchile ni machili ga Akumanani chigammunichile mpela mmwilili, kwaligongo lyo, mwanache juchapagwe chaŵilanjikwe Jwanswela ni Mwana jwa Akunnungu.
And answering the angel said to her; [the] Spirit Holy will come upon you and power of [the] Most High will overshadow you; therefore also the [one] being born Holy [One] will be called [the] Son of God.
36 Atamuno che Elisabeti, alongo ajenu nombe ŵana chiilu cha mwana jwannume atamuno achekulwipe, awu mwesi wao wa sita kwa jwelejo juŵamanyiche ni ŵandu kuti ngakuŵeleka.
And behold Elizabeth the (relative *N(k)O*) of you also she (has conceived *N(k)O*) a son in old age of her, and this month [the] sixth is to her who [was] called barren
37 Pakuŵa ngapagwa chindu changachikukomboleka kwa Akunnungu.”
For not will be impossible with (God *N(k)O*) every declaration.
38 Che Maliamu ŵatite, “Une ndili apano kapolo jwa Ambuje, ipanganyiche kwa une mpela intite pakusala.” Nipele katumetume jwa kwinani jula ŵajawile.
Said then Mary; Behold the handmaid of [the] Lord; Would [that] it happen to me according to the declaration of you. And departed from her the angel.
39 Pangakaŵa, che Maliamu ŵalinganyisye ulendo ni ŵajawile kwa kwanguya mu musi umo wauli mu ikwesya ya ku Yuda.
Having risen up then Mary in days these she went into the hill country with haste to a town of Judah
40 Kweleko, che Maliamu ŵajinjile mu nyuumba ji che Sakalia ni kwakomasya che Elisabeti.
and she entered into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
41 Che Elisabeti paŵapilikene chikomasyo chi che Maliamu, papopo mwanache juŵaliji nnutumbo mu che Elisabeti jwatungunyiche kwa kusangalala. Nombe che Elisabeti ŵalongweswe ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu,
And it came to pass as heard the greeting of Mary Elizabeth, leaped the baby in the womb of her, and was filled with [the] Spirit Holy Elizabeth
42 ŵanyanyisye, “Mpegwile upile kwapunda achakongwe wose ni jwele juchimummeleche jwana upile.
and she cried out (in a shout *N(k)O*) loud and said; Blessed [are] you yourself among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of the womb of you.
43 Une ni ŵaani atamuno achikulugwe Ambuje ŵangu aiche kukwangu?
And from where to me this that may come the mother of the Lord of mine to me myself?
44 Nnole pambilikene pe chikomasyo chenu, kanache kakali nnutumbo mwangu katungunyiche nkusangalala.
Behold for as came the voice of the greeting of you into the ears of mine, leaped in exultation the baby in the womb of mine.
45 Ndi ni upile mmwejo unkulupilile kuti chigatyochele gantanjile Ambuje.”
And blessed [is] the [one] having believed that there will be a fulfillment to the [things] spoken to her from [the] Lord.
46 Nombe che Maliamu ŵatite, “Ntima wangu ukwakusya Ambuje,
And said Mary: Magnifies the soul of Mine the Lord,
47 ni mbumu jangu jikusangalala ligongo lya Akunnungu, Nkulupusyo jwangu.
and rejoices the spirit of mine in God the Savior of mine,
48 Pakuŵa Akunnungu akulolite kwa chanasa kulitulusya kwa kapolo jwao. Kwa yeleyo kutandilila sambano iŵelesi yose chachimilanga jundi ni upile,
For He has looked upon the humiliation of the handmaiden of Him. Behold for from henceforth will count blessed me all the generations
49 pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵaali ni Ukombole ambanganyichisye gamakulungwa, liina lyao lili lyeswela.
For has done to me (great [things] *N(k)O*) the Mighty One; And holy [is] the name of Him;
50 Chanasa chao ngachikumala kwa chiŵelesi ni chiŵelesi, kwa ŵandu ŵakwachimbichisya.
And the mercy of Him [is] to generations (and *no*) (generations *N(k)O*) to those fearing Him;
51 Atesile yekulungwa kwa nkono wao, ŵapwilingenye ŵakulikanganichila mu ng'anisyo sya mitima jao.
He has shown strength with [the] arm of Him; He has scattered [the] proud in [the] thought of heart of them;
52 Ŵatulwisye mamwenye mu itengu yao ya umwenye, ni ŵakwesisye ŵandu ŵakulitulusya.
He has brought down rulers from thrones and exalted [the] humble;
53 Ŵakulaga ŵajikutisye indu yambone, ni ŵaali ni ipanje ŵalesile ajaule makono pe.
[Those] hungering He has filled with good things and [those] being rich He has sent away empty;
54 Achikamwisye chilambo cha ku Isilaeli katumetume jwao, achikumbuchilaga kwalosya chanasa chao,
He has helped Israel [the] servant of Him remembering mercy,
55 kwa che Iblahimu ni uŵelesi wao moŵa gose pangali mbesi mpela iŵatite pakwalanga achambuje ŵetu.” (aiōn g165)
even as He spoke to the fathers of us, to Abraham and to the descendants of him to the age. (aiōn g165)
56 Che Maliamu ŵatemi ni che Elisabeti mpela miesi jitatu ni ŵausile kumangwao.
Dwelt then Mary with her (about *N(k)O*) months three and returned to the home of her.
57 Kaaiche katema kakuligopola che Elisabeti, ŵaligopwele mwanache jwannume.
Now Elizabeth was fulfilled the time to give birth for her and she bore a son.
58 Ŵapachiŵandi pao ni achalongo achinjao paŵapikene kuti Ambuje ammonele chanasa ni ŵasangalele pamo nawo.
And heard the neighbours and the relatives of her that magnified [the] Lord the mercy of Him with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
59 Pagaiche moŵa nane chitandile mwanache kupagwa ŵaiche kukummumbasya. Ŵasachile kwapa liina lya che Sakalia, atatigwe.
And it came to pass on day the eighth they came to circumcise the child and were calling it after the name of the father of him Zechariah.
60 Nambo achikulugwe ŵatite, “Ngaŵa, nambo chaŵilanjikwe a Yohana.”
And answering the mother of him said; No, but he will be called John.
61 Ŵanyawo ŵansalile, “Nambo, ngapagwa mundu jwalijose jwali ni lyele liina mulukosyo lwao.”
And they said to her that No [one] is (among the relatives *N(k)O*) of you who is called the name by this.
62 Pelepo ŵammusisye atatigwe kwa imanyisyo kuti asale liina chi lyasachile ŵaŵilanjile mwanagwao.
They were making signs then to the father of him the what maybe he would wish to be called (him. *N(k)O*)
63 Nombewo ŵaŵilasisye chibao pa kulembelela, ni ŵalembile yeleyi, “Liina lyakwe a Yohana.” Wose ni ŵasimonjile.
And having asked for a writing tablet he wrote saying; John is (the *ko*) name of him. And they marveled all.
64 Papopo pepo che Sakalia ŵatandite sooni kuŵecheta achalapaga Akunnungu.
Was opened then the mouth of him immediately and the tongue of him and he was speaking blessing God.
65 Ŵandu wose ŵaŵatamaga pachiŵandi nawo ŵajinjilwe ni lipamba ni ngani syo syakunguluchilwe mbande syose mu chilambo cha ikwesya ya ku Yudea.
And came upon all fear those dwelling around them; and in all the hill country of Judea were being talked about all declarations these,
66 Ŵandu wose ŵaŵapikene yeleyo, ŵaganisisye mmitima jao achiliusyaga, “Ana mwanache ju chaaŵe jwantiuli?” Pakuŵa, isyene machili ga Ambuje galiji pamo nawo.
And laid [them] up all those having heard in the heart of them saying; What then child this will be? And (for *no*) [the] hand of [the] Lord was with him.
67 Che Sakalia, atatigwe jwele mwanache jo, ŵalongweswe ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni ŵalondwele achitiji,
And Zechariah the father of him was filled with [the] Spirit Holy and prophesied saying;
68 “Twakusye Ambuje, Akunnungu ŵa ku Isilaeli, pakuŵa ŵaichilile ni kwawombola ŵandu ŵakwe.
Blessed [be] [the] Lord the God of Israel, because He has visited and He has performed redemption [on] the people of Him,
69 Atupele Nkulupusyo jwaali ni machili, jwa uŵelesi u che Daudi katumetume jwao.
and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in (the *k*) house of David (the *k*) servant of Him,
even as He spoke through [the] mouth of the holy (of the *k*) of [old] age prophets of Him; (aiōn g165)
71 kuti chachitukulupusya mmakono mwa ŵammagongo ŵetu, ni ŵandu ŵakutuchima.
salvation from [the] enemies of us and from [the] hand of all those hating us,
72 Ŵaŵechete kuti chalosye chanasa chao kwa achambuje ŵetu, ni kulikumbuchila lilangano lyao lyeswela.
to fulfill mercy toward the fathers of us, and to remember [the] covenant holy of Him,
73 Ŵaalumbilile ambuje ŵetu che Iblahimu, kuti chatupe uwe upile.
[the] oath that He swore to Abraham the father of us,
74 Chatukulupusye mmakono mwa ŵammagongo ŵetu, ni kwapopelela pangali lipamba,
to grant us without fear from [the] hand (of the *k*) enemies (of us *k*) having been saved to serve Him
75 mu uswela ni umbone, moŵa gose ga umi wetu.
in holiness and righteousness before Him (all the days *N(k)O*) (of the life *k*) of us.
76 Nomwe mwanangu chimmilanjikwe, jwakulondola jwa Akumanani, chimwalongolele Ambuje ni kwakolochesya litala lyao,
And you yourself (now, *no*) child, prophet of [the] Most High will be called; you will go for (in front of *N(k)O*) ([the] face of *ko*) [the] Lord to prepare ways of Him,
77 ni kwamanyisya ŵandu ŵao kuti chiŵakulupusye kwa kwalechelesya sambi syao.
to give knowledge of salvation to the people of Him in forgiveness of [the] sins of them
78 Akunnungu ŵetu chatende yeleyo ligongo akwete ntima wa unonyelo ni wa chanasa, ni chiwombolo kutyochela kwinani chichituichilile mpela lulanga lwa lyuŵa lya kundaŵi,
through [the] affections of compassion of God of us in which (will visit *N(k)O*) us [the] Sunrise from on high,
79 ni kwalanguchisya wose ŵakutama mu chipi chekulungwa cha chiwa, chatulongosye kutama mu utame wa chitendewele.”
to shine upon those in darkness and in [the] shadow of death sitting, to direct the feet of us into [the] way of peace.
80 Mwanache jwakusile ni kulimbichika mmbumu mwakwe. Jwatemi mwipululu mpaka lyuŵa liŵalilosisye kwa ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli.
And the child was continuing to grow and he was strengthened in spirit and he was in the deserted places until [the] day of appearance of him to Israel.
