Luke 1
1 Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
Mkulungu Teofili. Vandu vamahele valingi kuyandika bwina mambu gegahengiki pagati yitu.
2 even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
Vayandiki ngati chevatijovili vevagaweni penapo pegatumbukini magono ga mumbele mambu genago na kuvakokosela lilovi la Chapanga.
3 it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus;
Mewa na Mkulungu Teofili penamali kulolokesa uchakaka waki kwa magono gamahele, nilola mbanga nikuyandikila veve kwa uchakaka waki.
4 that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
Nikiti chenichi muni nigana wamwene umanyayi mambu goha gevakuwulili.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the priestly division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
Lukumbi Helodi peavi Nkosi wa ku Yudea, ndi pavi na Mteta wa Chapanga mweikemiwa Zakalia wa chikundi cha uteta cha Abiya, na mdala waki avi Elizabeti wa lukolo lwa Aloni.
6 They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
Voha vavili vahenga ga kumganisa Chapanga na kuyidakila mihilu na malagizu ga Bambu changabuda.
7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
Vavi lepi na mwana mbaka muugogolo wavi, ndava Elizabeti avi lepi na chiveleku.
8 Now while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his division
Ligono limonga, Zakalia peavi mukuhenga lihengu laki la uteta mu Nyumba ya Chapanga,
9 according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
Ngati cheyavili mivelu ya vamteta va Chapanga, Zakalia ahaguliwi kwa gudugudu kuyingila mu Nyumba ya Bambu ndava ya kuhukisa ubani.
10 The whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
Na lukumbi lwa kuhukisa ubani palwahikili, vala voha vevakonganiki kumuyupa Chapanga vavi cha kuvala vayupayi.
11 An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Bambu, akamuhumila na kuyima upandi wa kulyela wa lusanja lwa luteta lwa kuhukisa ubani.
12 Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
Zakalia peamuweni mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga yula, akakenyemuka.
13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, because your request has been heard. Your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akamjovela, “Zakalia, kotoka kuyogopa muni Bambu ayuwini chawamuyupili, ndava mdala waku Elizabeti yati akubabila mwana mgosi na veve walamkemela Yohani.
14 You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.
Ndi wamwene yati uheka pavaha na vandu vamahele valahekelela ndava ya kuvelekewa kwaki.
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.
Mwenuyo yati ivya mkulu, pamihu ga Bambu, alanywa lepi divayi wala ugimbi, yati ilongoswa na Mpungu Msopi kuhumila mulileme la nyina waki.
16 He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.
Yati akuvawuyisa vandu vamahele wa pa Isilaeli, vamuwuyilayi Bambu Chapanga wavi.
17 He will go 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 just; to prepare a people prepared for the Lord.”
Yati akumlongolela Bambu kuni ilongosiwa na makakala na Mpungu ngati Eliya. Ndava ya kuvatepulanisa vadadi na vana vavi, yati avakita vangamyidakila vavyayi na luhala ngati lwa vala vevakumyidikila, na kumtendelekela Bambu vandu vaki.”
18 Zacharias said to the angel, “How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.”
Zakalia akamkota Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga, “Yati nimanya wuli ngati givya chenicho? Muni nene na mdala wangu tavagogolo.”
19 The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akayangula, “Nene na Gabulieli na mtumisi wa Chapanga. Ndi anitumili nijova na veve nikujovela lilovi la bwina lenili.
20 Behold, you will be silent and not able to speak until the day that these things will happen, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”
Yuwanila, yati wivya ngajova yati nakuhotola kujova, mbaka ligono lila pegihumila ago ndava ubeli kunisadika malovi gangu gene gihumila palukumbi lwaki.”
21 The people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marveled that he delayed in the temple.
Lukumbi lwenulo vandu vevamulindilayi Zakalia kuvala vakakangasa, muni atamakisi lukumbi lutali mu Nyumba ya Chapanga.
22 When he came out, he could not speak to them. They perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.
Peahumili kuvala nakuhotola kujova na vayaki, vayaki vakamanya kuvya mu Nyumba ya Chapanga mula, muyavi agaweni maono ndi akayendelela kulangisa na mawoko muni avi ngajova.
23 When the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
Lukumbi lwaki lwa kuhenga lihengu la uteta palwamaliki, akawuya kunyumba yaki.
24 After these days Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,
Lukumbi luhupi palwamaliki Elizabeti mdala wa Zakalia yula akavya na ndumbu, akawela munyumba miheyi mhanu,
25 “Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my reproach among men.”
kuni ajova “Bambu anitangatili na aniloli, hinu cheaniwusili soni pavandu!”
26 Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
Mu mwehi wa sita, Chapanga amtumili mtumu waki wa kunani Gabulieli kumuji wa Nazaleti, ku Galilaya.
27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of David’s house. The virgin’s name was Mary.
Kwa kamwali mmonga mwavamkemela Maliya, Mwenuyo ahongiwi na mgosi mmonga liina laki Yosefu wa lukolo lwa Daudi.
28 Having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, you highly favored one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!”
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga Akamuhegelela akamjambusa, “Tikuwoni! Bambu avi pamonga na veve kangi akugubiki uganu waki!”
29 But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be.
Maliya peayuwini malovi gala, akakenyemuka, akahololela, jambusa yeniyi mana yaki kyani?
30 The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akamjovela, “Kotoka kuyogopa Maliya, muni Chapanga aganisiwi na veve.
31 Behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and shall name him ‘Jesus.’
Walavya na ndumbu, walaveleka mwana mgosi, yati ukumkemela liina laki Yesu.
32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,
Mwenuyo yati ivya mkulu, yati ikemelewa Mwana wa Chapanga Mkulu. Bambu Chapanga yati amuvika kuvya Nkosi, ngati cheamuviki Nkosi Daudi mweavi gogo waki.
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob for the ages (aiōn g165). There will be no end to his Kingdom."
Ndi yati ivya Nkosi wa lukolo lwa Yakobo magono goha, na unkosi waki wangali na mwishu!” (aiōn g165)
34 Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?”
Maliya akamyangula, “Genago galavya wuli, muni nene nangammanya mgosi?”
35 The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born from you will be called the Son of God.
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akayangula, “Mpungu Msopi yati ukuhelelela, na uhotola waki Chapanga Mkulu walakugubika ngati chimuwili, muni mwana mweubwela kumveleka uyo, yati ikemelawa msopi na Mwana wa Chapanga.
36 Behold, Elizabeth your relative also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
Hati mlongo waku Elizabeti, agegi ndumbu ya mwana mgosi na hinu mumwehi wa sita, pamonga na ugogolo waki, mweamanyikini na vandu kuvya ngaveleka.
37 For nothing spoken by God is impossible.”
Muni kawaka lilovi langahotoleka kwa Chapanga.”
38 Mary said, “Behold, the servant of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.
Maliya akajova, “Nene nivii penapa namvanda wa bambu, nikitiwayi ngati chaukajovili.” Ndi mtumi wa kunani kwa Chapanga akawuka.
39 Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,
Ndi lwapiti lepi lukumbi lutali, Maliya akapanganyika akayumbatika kuhamba kumuji wewavi kuvidunda vya ku Yudea.
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.
Kwenuko akayingila munyumba ya Zakalia akamjambusa Elizabeti.
41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Bahapo Elizabeti peayuwini jambusa ya Maliya, kamwana kakahumba chaluheku mulileme la Elizabeti. Elizabeti akalongoswa Mpungu Msopi
42 She called out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
akajova kwa lwami luvaha, “Umotisiwi kuliku vadala voha, na mweubwela kumveleka huyo amotisiwi!
43 Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Nene nayani hati nyina wa Bambu wangu anibwelili?
44 For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy!
Nikujovela, panayuwini jambusa yaku, kamwana kakahumba mulileme langu chaluheku.
45 Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!”
Umotisiwi veve mweusadika kuvya yati gihumila gala geakujovili Bambu.”
46 Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord.
Maliya akajova, “Mtima wangu ukumlumba Bambu,
47 My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,
mpungu wangu umhekela Bambu, ndava Msangula wangu.
48 for he has looked at the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.
Muni aulolili cha lipyana ungolongondi wa mvanda waki! Kutumbula hinu viveleku vyoha yati vakunikemela mwenisangalwiki,
49 For he who is mighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name.
ndava muni Chapanga ana makakala anihengili gakulu, na liina laki ndi msopi
50 His mercy is for generations and generations on those who fear him.
Chivelekelu mbaka chivelekelu mwene magono goha avi na lipyana kwa vandu vevakumtopesa.
51 He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
Alangisi makakala gaki kwa kukita mambu gakulu. Avapechengini vevimeka mumaholo ga mitima yavi.
52 He has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted the lowly.
Avahelisi vankosi vana makakala kuhumila muvigoda vya kulongosa, na avakwesi vevavi ngolongondi.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.
Vangangu avayukutisi mambu gabwina, na vana vindu vyamahele avalekili vahamba mawoko gawaka.
54 He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
Amtangatili mulima wa Isilaeli mtumi waki. Akumbwiki lipyana laki,
Ngati chaajovili kuvya na lipyana kwa Ibulahimu na chivelekelu chaki, magono goha.” (aiōn g165)
56 Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.
Maliya akatama kwa Elizabeti ngati miyehi yidatu, ndi akawuya kunyumba yaki.
57 Now the time that Elizabeth should give birth was fulfilled, and she gave birth to a son.
Palwahiki lukumbi lwa Elizabeti kuveleka ndi akavya na mwana mgosi.
58 Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her.
Vandu va mu lukolo na veitamanila nawu papipi, pevayuwini Bambu amkitili lipyana neju, voha vakahekelela pamonga nayu.
59 On the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
Ligono la nane vakabwela kumdumula jandu mwana, vaganayi kumpela liina Zakalia, liina la dadi waki.
60 His mother answered, “Not so; but he will be called John.”
Nambu nyina waki akajova, “Lepi, mwenuyu ikemelewa Yohani.”
61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”
Vakamjovela, “Kawaka mu lukolo lwaki mweavi na liina ngati lenili!”
62 They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
Hinu vakamkota dadi waki chakumlangisa, muni vamanyayi aganili kumpela liina loki.
63 He asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, “His name is John.” They all marveled.
Zakalia akayupa chibawu cha kuyandikila, akayandika, “Liina laki Yohani.” Vandu voha vakakangasa!
64 His mouth was opened immediately and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.
Bahapo mlomo wa Zakalia akatumbula kulongela kangi akamulumba Chapanga.
65 Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.
Vandu voha veatama nawu vakavya na wogohi, mambu ago gakalongaleka mulima woha wa vidunda vya ku Yudea.
66 All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, “What then will this child be?” The hand of the Lord was with him.
Vandu voha vevayuwini mambu genago, vakaholalela mumitima yavi na kukotana vene kwa vene mumitima yavi, “Mwe mwana uyu yati ivya wuli?” Chakaka, makakala ga Bambu gavi pamonga na mwene.
67 His father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Zakalia dadi mwana yula akalongoswa na Mpungu Msopi akatumbula kulotela ulota uwu.
68 “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people;
“Ulumbiwa Bambu Chapanga wa Isilaeli! Ndava ubweli kuvatangatila vandu vaki na kuvagombola.
69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
Atipeli Msangula mkekesi, mu chiveleku cha Daudi mtumisi waki.
Ndi atijovili kadeni munjila ya vamlota vaki va msopi, (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us;
Yati atisangula kuhuma mu mawoko ga makoko gitu, na mumakakala ga voha vavakutihakalila.
72 to show mercy toward our fathers, to remember his holy covenant,
Ajovili yati avakitila lipyana vagogo vitu na akulihololela lilaganu laki la msopi.
73 the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
Chilapu alapili kwa dadi witu Ibulahimu, kuvya akutitangatila tete
74 to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, should serve him without fear,
tigomboka kuhuma mu mawoko ga makoko gitu, na timugundamila changali wogohi,
75 in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life.
muusopi na kukita gegakumganisa Chapanga, magono goha ga wumi witu.”
76 And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,
“Wamwanangu veve, yati ukemelewa, mlota wa Chapanga mkulu, ndava walamlongolela Bambu kumkwalila njila yaki,
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the remission of their sins,
na kuvakokosela vandu kuvya valasanguliwa kwa kulekekesewa kumbudila Chapanga wavi.
78 because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the dawn from on high will visit us,
Chapanga witu yati ikita genago ndava lipyana ya mtima waki wa ngolongondi. Usangula waki yati ubwela kuhuma kunani ngati lumuli chelulangasa chelihumila lilanga,
79 to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
na kuvalangasila voha vevitama muchitita chikulu cha lifwa, na kutilongosa titama wumi wa uteke.”
80 The child was growing and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
Mwana yula akakula, na akakangamala mumpungu waki. Akatama kulugangatu mbaka ligono paajilangisi pavandu va pa Isilaeli.
