Njengoba abanengi sebebeke izandla ukubeka ngendlela efaneleyo ukulandiswa kwezinto eziqiniseke ngokupheleleyo phakathi kwethu,
2 Ŵalembile mpela yatite pakusalilwa ni ŵandu ŵaŵasiweni ngani syo kwa meeso gao chitandile kundanda ni kuŵa achikatumetume ŵa Liloŵe lya Akunnungu.
njengalokhu basinika labo ababonayo ngamehlo ekuqaleni njalo bezinceku zelizwi,
3 Kwapele ambuje che Teofilo, panamasile kuusosasosa usyene wose chambone kwa moŵa gamajinji, naiweni yambone kuti nannembele kwa uchenene mpela iyatite paakopochela,
kukhanye kukuhle lakimi, sengizihlolisisile zonke izinto kusukela ekuqaleni, ukuthi ngikubhalele ngokulandelana, mhlekazi Teyofilu,
4 kuti nomwe nkombole kuumanyilila usyene wa yeila yanjiganyikwe.
ukuze wazi iqiniso ngalezozinto ozifundisiweyo.
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.
Ensukwini zikaHerodi inkosi yeJudiya kwakukhona umpristi othile othiwa nguZakariya, oweqembu likaAbhiya; lomkakhe wayevela kumadodakazi kaAroni, lebizo lakhe linguElizabethi.
6 Wose ŵaŵili ŵaliji ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu, achitamaga nkukamulisya makanyo ni malajisyo ga Ambuje pangali sambi.
Njalo babelungile bobabili phambi kukaNkulunkulu, behamba ngayo yonke imilayo lezimiso zeNkosi, bengasoleki.
7 Nganaakola ŵanache pakuŵa che Elisabeti ŵaliji ngakuŵeleka, nombe wose ŵaŵili ŵaliji achekulwipe nnope.
Njalo babengelamntwana, ngoba uElizabethi wayeyinyumba, basebeleminyaka eminengi bobabili.
8 Lyuŵa limo che Sakalia pajaliji samu jao jakupanganya masengo ga chimbopesi pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu,
Kwasekusithi esenza inkonzo yobupristi phambi kukaNkulunkulu esesimisweni seqembu lakibo,
9 Mpela iyatite pakusyoŵeleka che Sakalia ŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu kwagudugudu, kuti ajinjile pa Nyuumba ja Ambuje atutumye ubani.
ngomkhuba wenkonzo yobupristi, nguye owadliwa yinkatho yokutshisa impepha esengene ethempelini leNkosi.
10 Ŵandu wose ŵaŵasongangene ŵaliji paasa aninkupopela katema kakututumya ubani.
Njalo ixuku lonke labantu lalikhuleka ngaphandle ngesikhathi sokutshisa impepha.
11 Katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje jwankopochele che Sakalia ni kwima kundyo kwa chilisa cha kututumichisya ubani.
Ingilosi yeNkosi yasibonakala kuye, imi ngakwesokunene selathi lempepha.
12 Che Sakalia paŵammweni katumetume jwa kwinani ŵasupwiche ni kukamulwa ni lipamba.
Kwathi uZakariya eyibona waqhuqha, lokwesaba kwawela phezu kwakhe.
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.
Kodwa ingilosi yathi kuye: Ungesabi Zakariya; ngoba umkhuleko wakho uzwakele, lomkakho uElizabethi uzakuzalela indodana, njalo uzakuthi ibizo layo nguJohane.
14 Chinsangalale nnope ni ŵandu ŵajinji chachine ligongo lya kupagwa kwakwe.
Futhi uzakuba lenjabulo lentokozo, labanengi bazakujabulela ukuzalwa kwakhe.
15 Chachiŵa jwankulu paujo pa Ambuje. Ngaang'wa divai ng'o, chalongoswe ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu kutyochela nnutumbo mwa achikulugwe.
Ngoba uzakuba mkhulu phambi kweNkosi, iwayini kanye lokunathwayo okulamandla kasoze akunathe, futhi uzagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele kusukela esesesiswini sikanina.
16 Che Yohana chiŵausye ŵandu ŵajinji ŵa ku Isilaeli kwa Ambuje Akunnungu ŵao.
Labanengi kubantwana bakoIsrayeli uzabaphendulela eNkosini uNkulunkulu wabo;
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.”
njalo yena uzahamba phambi kwayo emoyeni lemandleni kaElija, ukuphendulela inhliziyo zaboyise kubantwana, labangalaleliyo ekuhlakanipheni kwabalungileyo, ukulungiselela iNkosi isizwe esilungisiweyo.
18 Che Sakalia ŵammusisye katumetume jwa kwinani jo kuti, “Chichi chachichiimanyisye yeleyo? Pakuŵa uneji ni ŵankwangu tuchekulwipe.”
UZakariya wasesithi kuyo ingilosi: Ngizakwazi ngani lokhu? Ngoba mina ngilixhegu, lomkami useleminyaka eminengi.
19 Katumetume jwa kwinani jo ŵaajanjile che Sakalia, “Une ni Gabulieli, katumetume jwa Akunnungu, ndumikwe kuŵecheta nomwe ni kunsalila ngani jambone ji.
Ingilosi yasiphendula yathi kuye: NginguGabriyeli mina, omayo phambi kukaNkulunkulu; njalo ngithunyiwe ukukhuluma lawe, lokukubikela lezizindaba ezinhle.
20 Mpikane, chimme jwangaŵelecheta, ngankombola kuŵecheta mpaka lyuŵa pachigakopochele gelego, pakuŵa nganingakulupilila maloŵe gangu, nombego chigatimile kwa katema kakwe.”
Njalo khangela, uzakuba yisimungulu njalo wehluleke ukukhuluma, kuze kube lusuku okuzakwenzeka ngalo lezizinto, ngenxa yokuthi ungakholwanga amazwi ami, azagcwaliseka ngesikhathi sawo.
21 Kele katema ko ŵandu wose ŵaliji aninkwalindilila che Sakalia akuno achisimongaga kukaŵa kwao mu Nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
Labantu babemlindele uZakariya; bamangala ngokuphuza kwakhe ethempelini.
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.
Kuthe esephuma wehluleka ukukhuluma labo; njalo bazi ukuthi ubone umbono ethempelini; njalo yena wayesebaqhweba, wahlala eyisimungulu.
23 Paŵamalisisye moŵa gao ga kupanganya masengo ga umbopesi, che Sakalia ŵausile kumusi.
Kwasekusithi seziphelile insuku zokukhonza kwakhe, waya endlini yakhe.
24 Kanyuma kanandi che Elisabeti ŵankwawo che Sakalia ŵaliji pachiilu. Nganatyoka mu nyuumba katema ka miesi nsano.
Kwathi emva kwalezonsuku uElizabethi umkakhe wathatha isisu, wazifihla okwezinyanga ezinhlanu, esithi:
25 Achiŵechetaga kuti, “Yeleyi ni yambanganyichisye Ambuje, angamwisye ni kundyosyesya soni syangu paujo pa ŵandu.”
Yenze kanje kimi iNkosi ensukwini eyangikhangela ngazo ukususa ihlazo lami phakathi kwabantu.
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.
Kwathi ngenyanga yesithupha ingilosi uGabriyeli yathunywa nguNkulunkulu emzini weGalili othiwa yiNazaretha,
27 Ajaule kwa mwalimwalipe liina lyao che Maliamu juŵatomelwe ni jwannume, liina lyao che Yusufu, jwa lukosyo lwa che Daudi.
entombini eyayigane indoda, ebizo layo lalinguJosefa, eyendlu kaDavida; lebizo lentombi linguMariya.
28 Katumetume jwa kwinani ŵanjaulile ni kwasalila, “Ngunkomasya, mmwejo jundi ni upile! Ambuje ali pamo nomwe!”
Ingilosi yasingena kuye yathi: Ekuhle, wena othandiweyo! INkosi ilawe, ubusisiwe wena phakathi kwabesifazana.
29 Che Maliamu paŵagapilikene gele maloŵe go ŵasupwiche nnope ni kuganisya kuti chikomasyo chi malumbo gakwe chichi?
Kwathi eseyibonile wethuswa kakhulu yilizwi layo, wanakana ukuthi yikubingelela okunjani lokhu.
30 Katumetume jwa kwinani ŵansalile, “Che Maliamu, nkajogopa pakuŵa Akunnungu anonyelwe nomwe.
Ingilosi yasisithi kuye: Ungesabi, Mariya; ngoba uthole uthando kuNkulunkulu.
31 Mpikane, chimme ŵa pachiilu, chimummeleche mwanache jwannume, nomwe chimummilanje Che Yesu.
Njalo khangela, uzathatha isisu, uzale indodana, uzakuthi ibizo layo nguJesu.
32 Jwelejo chaŵe jwankulu ni chaŵilanjikwe Mwana jwa Akumanani. Ambuje Akunnungu chiŵape umwenye wa che Daudi, Ambuje ŵao.
Yena uzakuba mkhulu, uzabizwa ngokuthi yiNdodana yoPhezukonke; futhi iNkosi uNkulunkulu izamnika isihlalo sobukhosi sikayise uDavida,
33 Pelepo chachilulongosya lukosyo lwa che Yakobo moŵa gose pangali mbesi, ni umwenye wakwe ngauika kumbesi.” (aiōn g165)
njalo uzabusa phezu kwendlu kaJakobe kuze kube nininini, langombuso wakhe kawuzukuba lokuphela. (aiōn g165)
34 Che Maliamu ŵanjanjile Katumetume jwa kwinani, “Ana chiikomboleche chinauli pakuŵa une ngangummanyilila jwannume?”
UMariya wasesithi kuyo ingilosi: Lokhu kungenzeka njani, njengoba ngingazi indoda?
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.
Ingilosi yasiphendula yathi kuye: UMoya oNgcwele uzakuza phezu kwakho, lamandla oPhezukonke azakwembesa; ngakho lalokhu okungcwele okuzazalwa nguwe kuzakuthiwa yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
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.
Njalo khangela, isinini sakho uElizabethi, laye ukhulelwe yindodana ebudaleni bakhe; lale yinyanga yesithupha kuye obekuthiwa uyinyumba.
37 Pakuŵa ngapagwa chindu changachikukomboleka kwa Akunnungu.”
Ngoba kuNkulunkulu kakulalutho oluzakwehlula.
38 Che Maliamu ŵatite, “Une ndili apano kapolo jwa Ambuje, ipanganyiche kwa une mpela intite pakusala.” Nipele katumetume jwa kwinani jula ŵajawile.
UMariya wasesithi: Khangela, incekukazi yeNkosi; kakube kimi njengelizwi lakho. Ingilosi yasisuka kuye.
39 Pangakaŵa, che Maliamu ŵalinganyisye ulendo ni ŵajawile kwa kwanguya mu musi umo wauli mu ikwesya ya ku Yuda.
Ngalezonsuku uMariya wasesukuma waya ezintabeni ngokuphangisa, emzini weJuda,
40 Kweleko, che Maliamu ŵajinjile mu nyuumba ji che Sakalia ni kwakomasya che Elisabeti.
wangena endlini kaZakariya, wabingelela uElizabethi.
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,
Kwasekusithi uElizabethi ezwe ukubingelela kukaMariya, inkonyane yeqa esiswini sakhe; loElizabethi wagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele,
42 ŵanyanyisye, “Mpegwile upile kwapunda achakongwe wose ni jwele juchimummeleche jwana upile.
wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, wathi: Ubusisiwe wena phakathi kwabesifazana, njalo sibusisiwe isithelo sesizalo sakho!
43 Une ni ŵaani atamuno achikulugwe Ambuje ŵangu aiche kukwangu?
Kanti kuvela ngaphi lokhu kimi, ukuthi unina weNkosi yami eze kimi?
44 Nnole pambilikene pe chikomasyo chenu, kanache kakali nnutumbo mwangu katungunyiche nkusangalala.
Ngoba khangela, kuthe ilizwi lokubingelela kwakho lifika endlebeni zami, umntwana weqa esiswini sami ngokuthokoza.
45 Ndi ni upile mmwejo unkulupilile kuti chigatyochele gantanjile Ambuje.”
Futhi ubusisiwe okholiweyo, ngoba kuzagcwaliseka lezozinto ezakhulunywa kuye yiNkosi.
46 Nombe che Maliamu ŵatite, “Ntima wangu ukwakusya Ambuje,
UMariya wasesithi: Umphefumulo wami uyayikhulisa iNkosi,
47 ni mbumu jangu jikusangalala ligongo lya Akunnungu, Nkulupusyo jwangu.
lomoya wami uyathokoza kuNkulunkulu uMsindisi wami,
48 Pakuŵa Akunnungu akulolite kwa chanasa kulitulusya kwa kapolo jwao. Kwa yeleyo kutandilila sambano iŵelesi yose chachimilanga jundi ni upile,
ngoba ukhangele ubuphansi bencekukazi yakhe. Ngoba khangela, kusukela khathesi zonke izizukulwana zizakuthi ngibusisiwe.
49 pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵaali ni Ukombole ambanganyichisye gamakulungwa, liina lyao lili lyeswela.
Ngoba yena olamandla ungenzele izinto ezinkulu, lingcwele lebizo lakhe,
50 Chanasa chao ngachikumala kwa chiŵelesi ni chiŵelesi, kwa ŵandu ŵakwachimbichisya.
lesihawu sakhe sikusizukulwana ngesizukulwana kulabo abamesabayo.
51 Atesile yekulungwa kwa nkono wao, ŵapwilingenye ŵakulikanganichila mu ng'anisyo sya mitima jao.
Wenzile amandla ngengalo yakhe; uhlakazile abazigqajayo ekunakaneni kwenhliziyo zabo.
52 Ŵatulwisye mamwenye mu itengu yao ya umwenye, ni ŵakwesisye ŵandu ŵakulitulusya.
Wehlisile iziphathamandla ezihlalweni zobukhosi, kodwa uphakamisile abantukazana.
53 Ŵakulaga ŵajikutisye indu yambone, ni ŵaali ni ipanje ŵalesile ajaule makono pe.
Abalambileyo ubasuthise ngezinto ezinhle, kodwa abanothileyo wabamukisa beze.
54 Achikamwisye chilambo cha ku Isilaeli katumetume jwao, achikumbuchilaga kwalosya chanasa chao,
Umsizile uIsrayeli inceku yakhe, ngokukhumbula isihawu,
55 kwa che Iblahimu ni uŵelesi wao moŵa gose pangali mbesi mpela iŵatite pakwalanga achambuje ŵetu.” (aiōn g165)
njengoba watsho kubobaba bethu, kuAbrahama, lenzalweni yakhe kuze kube nininini. (aiōn g165)
56 Che Maliamu ŵatemi ni che Elisabeti mpela miesi jitatu ni ŵausile kumangwao.
UMariya wasehlala laye okungaba zinyanga ezintathu, wasebuyela endlini yakhe.
57 Kaaiche katema kakuligopola che Elisabeti, ŵaligopwele mwanache jwannume.
Isikhathi sikaElizabethi sokuthi abelethe sesiphelele, wasebeletha indodana.
58 Ŵapachiŵandi pao ni achalongo achinjao paŵapikene kuti Ambuje ammonele chanasa ni ŵasangalele pamo nawo.
Abakhelene laye lezinini zakhe basebesizwa ukuthi iNkosi yenze isihawu sayo saba sikhulu kuye, basebethokoza laye.
59 Pagaiche moŵa nane chitandile mwanache kupagwa ŵaiche kukummumbasya. Ŵasachile kwapa liina lya che Sakalia, atatigwe.
Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesificaminwembili, beza ukuzasoka usane; balubiza ngebizo likayise ngokuthi nguZakariya.
60 Nambo achikulugwe ŵatite, “Ngaŵa, nambo chaŵilanjikwe a Yohana.”
Kodwa unina waphendula wathi: Hatshi bo, kodwa luzathiwa nguJohane.
61 Ŵanyawo ŵansalile, “Nambo, ngapagwa mundu jwalijose jwali ni lyele liina mulukosyo lwao.”
Basebesithi kuye: Kakho ezihlotsheni zakho obizwa ngalelibizo.
62 Pelepo ŵammusisye atatigwe kwa imanyisyo kuti asale liina chi lyasachile ŵaŵilanjile mwanagwao.
Basebeqhweba uyise, ukuthi angathanda ukuthi lubizwe ngokuthini.
63 Nombewo ŵaŵilasisye chibao pa kulembelela, ni ŵalembile yeleyi, “Liina lyakwe a Yohana.” Wose ni ŵasimonjile.
Wasecela into yokubhalela, wabhala, esithi: NguJohane ibizo lalo; basebemangala bonke.
64 Papopo pepo che Sakalia ŵatandite sooni kuŵecheta achalapaga Akunnungu.
Njalo wahle wavulwa umlomo wakhe lolimi lwakhe lwatshwaphululwa, wasekhuluma edumisa uNkulunkulu.
65 Ŵandu wose ŵaŵatamaga pachiŵandi nawo ŵajinjilwe ni lipamba ni ngani syo syakunguluchilwe mbande syose mu chilambo cha ikwesya ya ku Yudea.
Lokwesaba kwehlela phezu kwabo bonke abakhelene labo; njalo kwakhulunywa ngazo zonke lezizinto kulo lonke elezintabeni zeJudiya,
66 Ŵandu wose ŵaŵapikene yeleyo, ŵaganisisye mmitima jao achiliusyaga, “Ana mwanache ju chaaŵe jwantiuli?” Pakuŵa, isyene machili ga Ambuje galiji pamo nawo.
labo bonke abazizwayo bazilondoloza ezinhliziyweni zabo, besithi: Kambe lolusane luzakuba njani? Njalo isandla seNkosi sasilalo.
67 Che Sakalia, atatigwe jwele mwanache jo, ŵalongweswe ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni ŵalondwele achitiji,
LoZakariya uyise wagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele, waprofetha, esithi:
68 “Twakusye Ambuje, Akunnungu ŵa ku Isilaeli, pakuŵa ŵaichilile ni kwawombola ŵandu ŵakwe.
Ibusisiwe iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ngoba ihambele yasenzela inkululeko isizwe sayo,
69 Atupele Nkulupusyo jwaali ni machili, jwa uŵelesi u che Daudi katumetume jwao.
yasivusela uphondo losindiso endlini kaDavida inceku yayo,
njengalokho yakhuluma ngomlomo wabaprofethi bayo abangcwele kusukela ekuqaleni komhlaba, (aiōn g165)
71 kuti chachitukulupusya mmakono mwa ŵammagongo ŵetu, ni ŵandu ŵakutuchima.
isikhulula ezitheni zethu, lesandleni sabo bonke abasizondayo;
72 Ŵaŵechete kuti chalosye chanasa chao kwa achambuje ŵetu, ni kulikumbuchila lilangano lyao lyeswela.
ukwenzela obaba bethu isihawu, lokukhumbula isivumelwano sayo esingcwele,
73 Ŵaalumbilile ambuje ŵetu che Iblahimu, kuti chatupe uwe upile.
isifungo eyasifunga kubaba wethu uAbrahama,
74 Chatukulupusye mmakono mwa ŵammagongo ŵetu, ni kwapopelela pangali lipamba,
ukusinika, ukuthi sesikhululiwe esandleni sezitha zethu, siyikhonze singelakwesaba,
75 mu uswela ni umbone, moŵa gose ga umi wetu.
ngobungcwele langokulunga phambi kwayo zonke izinsuku zempilo yethu.
76 Nomwe mwanangu chimmilanjikwe, jwakulondola jwa Akumanani, chimwalongolele Ambuje ni kwakolochesya litala lyao,
Lawe-ke, sane, uzabizwa ngokuthi ungumprofethi woPhezukonke; ngoba uzahamba phambi kobuso beNkosi ukulungisa izindlela zayo;
77 ni kwamanyisya ŵandu ŵao kuti chiŵakulupusye kwa kwalechelesya sambi syao.
lokunika isizwe sayo ulwazi losindiso ngothethelelo lwezono zabo,
78 Akunnungu ŵetu chatende yeleyo ligongo akwete ntima wa unonyelo ni wa chanasa, ni chiwombolo kutyochela kwinani chichituichilile mpela lulanga lwa lyuŵa lya kundaŵi,
ngesihelo sikaNkulunkulu wethu, okuthi ngaso ukusa kwaphezulu kusethekelele,
79 ni kwalanguchisya wose ŵakutama mu chipi chekulungwa cha chiwa, chatulongosye kutama mu utame wa chitendewele.”
ukubakhanyisela abahlezi emnyameni lethunzini lokufa, ukuqondisa inyawo zethu endleleni yokuthula.
80 Mwanache jwakusile ni kulimbichika mmbumu mwakwe. Jwatemi mwipululu mpaka lyuŵa liŵalilosisye kwa ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli.
Wakhula-ke umntwana omncane, waqina emoyeni, waba sezinkangala kwaze kwaba lusuku lokubonakala kwakhe kuIsrayeli.
