Luke 1
1 Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
Vingi vitangile ukhuvikho vunonu amamenyu (simulizi) amamenyu galo ugukavombikhe kati yunyo,
2 even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
Nduvuvatupile ufwe, yufwe ukhuhuma khuvutengulilo twalolile na miho gito na vavombi va limenyu.
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;
Pwu nayune, vwu nilolile vunonu uvutengulilo wa mbombo inchi nchoni ukuhuma khuvute ngulilo - nikwene lunonu kulyune ukhukhwandikila vunonu mhesimiwa fincho Theofilo.
4 that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
Inave vwinogwa ulumanye uvwa yihwe li vwa mbombo iyumanyile.
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.
Mfigono fya Herode, umbaha va Yuta, ali pwa ukuhani yumo ale vi Sakhaliya, va khikolo kya Abiya. UU dala ahumile khyu kuvana va Haruni, ni litavwa lya mwene ale vi Elizabeti.
6 They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
Voni vale va yilweli kuvulongolo kwa Nguluve; valikugenda khisita lunoninoni mu ndagilo nchoni ncha Nguluve.
7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
Khange savakhale nu mwana, ulwa khuva u sabati ale gumba, khange voni vala vagogolo fincho.
8 Now while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his division
Pwu lino yikhahumila ukhuva u sakhaliya ale va Nguluve, vwivomba imbombo ya vukuhani msamu ya mwene.
9 according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
Ukhukongana nu lwiho ulwa khuhala vi kuhani alikhu uvi ya khave ivomba, vahalaga ni kura ukhwingile mmtembile ya Nguluve nu ukhufukhutila uvumba.
10 The whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
Ikhipuga kyoni kya vanu lili kudova khunji unsikhi gwa kufukhutila uvumba.
11 An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
Pwu usungwa va Nguluve akha ngumila nu khoima khunelyo khwu nekhelo ya khufukhutila.
12 Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
Usakhelia akha dwada vu ambene uvudwanchi vukhagwila.
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.
Pwu unsugwa akhambula akhata ulekhe ukhudwada, “Sakhaliya, ulwakhuva uludovo lwakho lupulikhikhe. UU ndala vakho uelisabeti ikhukhuholela umwana. Elifavwa lya mwene vukhumwilanya Yohana.
14 You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.
Vwiva nu luhekhelo nu khukimagila, khenye vingi vikhv khuhovokhele ukhu holiwa khumwene
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.
is ulwakhuva iva mbahahi pavulongolo pamiho ga mmbaha. Sakhanywinchage idivai na ikivinywa ikhikali, khange iva adigile nu mepo umbanche, ukhuma mwitumbu mwa mamaye.
16 He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.
Na vanu vingi va mu Israeli vi vipindukha kwa nkuludeva Unguluve va vene.
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.”
Ihitage khuvulongolo khumiho ga Ntwa nu mepo na makha ga Eliya. Ayivomba evo ukhukilivula inumbula ya baba kwu vana, uvu savidwa yavitota nu luhala lwa avalinu vwa yihweli. Ayimba wvo ukhuvika kwa Ntwa avanu uvu vavikhwe khu nongwa ya mwene.”
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.”
Sakhalia akambula usungwa, “Nikulumanyandakhekhe ukhulu manya eeli? Ulwakhuva une niligogolo na yu ndala vanga imgakha gya mwene givile mingi fincho.”
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.
Usung'wa akhambula akhata, “Une nene gabileli, uvikhwima pamiho ga Nguluve nikhasuhiwe kukhumbula, ukhukhugegela inongwa iyi inonu.
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.”
Ulolage, sayawilola, vwivamye, sukhanchove mpaka isikhu yila yakhave yihumila. Yehumile ulwakhuva amamenyu ganyo yagihumila khunsikhi unonu.”
21 The people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marveled that he delayed in the temple.
Pwu lino avanu vali khugulila u Sakhalia. Walikudega ukhuta unsikhi gwoni ale mtembile.
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.
Vwu ahumile khunji alikhulemwa ukhunchova na vene. Vakhalumanya ukhuta upile amagono fivi vwali mtembile, alikhupi vonesya mufihwano akhanchiga mye.
23 When the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
Yukhahumela ukhuta amanchuva ga vuvombi vwa mwene vuvusilile akhahega ukhuvuya khumiave.
24 After these days Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,
Usakheliya vu avuyile khumiave ukhuhuma khuvuvombi wa mwene mu tembile, uu dala va mwene va akhava nu luleme. Navope sakhahuma mu nyumba ya mwene khu mienchi gihano akhata,
25 “Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my reproach among men.”
“Ili lyu utwa avombile khulione upwa khandolile kwu vupendelelo ahenche isoni khuliune khange pamiho ga vanu.”
26 Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
Pwu lino umwenchi ugwa ntunato gwa mimba gya Elisabeti, Unguluve akhambula unsung'wa Gabilieli ukhuhila ikhilunga khya Mgalilaya khu khwilangiwa Nasaleti,
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.
Khu ng'inja uvyalondwe nu gosi uvi ikhwilangiwa vi Yusufu. Umwene ale va khivumbu kho kya Ndaveli, khange ilifavwa lya g'inja uyu ale vi Ihaliya.
28 Having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, you highly favored one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!”
Akhincha khumwene nukhuta, “Nikukhuponia, uveve vyu pokhile uluhungu uluvaha! Untwa ahovwikhe nuve.”
29 But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be.
Limo amamenyu ga Nsungwa ga nja nchiche nu khusifa ukhulumanya khekhi unusungwa akhatile nikhu khupoia (salaam) ukhuu nchakhudege khu mwene.
30 The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
Unsungwa akhambula, “Ulekhe ukhu dwadwa, Maliya, ulwakhuva vwupilile uhehungu ukhuhuma khwa Nguluve.
31 Behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and shall name him ‘Jesus.’
Khange lola, vwigega uheleme mulitumbu lyakho vwihola umwana. Nayuve yavukhumwilaga ilitavwa lyamwene vi 'Yisu.'
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,
Iva mmbaha ikwilangiwaga mwa ve khukhanya fincho. Utwa Unguluve ikhumpa ikhigoda ikhinyahwangulo ikya Ndaveli ubaha va mwene.
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob for the ages (aiōn g165). There will be no end to his Kingdom."
Ayilongoncha pa kyanya pa kwumbu kho kya Yakhobo myakha gyoni nu ludeva lwa mwene lwiva luchila vumalilo. (aiōn g165)
34 Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?”
Umaliya akhambula unsung'wa, ili lihumela ndekhekhi ulwakhuva sanegele nigone nu ng'osi uvi ave, nchaga?
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.
Usung'wa akhamwanda nu khumbula, “Umepo umbalancho ikhwo khwinchela paliyuve pwu lina umbalanche uviyakhave iholiwa ayikhwi langivwa mwane va va Nguluve.
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.
Pwu lola, uhekhulolwakho u Elisabeti alinuleme lwa mwana khu vutamo wa vugogolo vwa mwene. Ugu mwenchigwa sita khumwene, uvivalikhu ihwilanya igomba.
37 For nothing spoken by God is impossible.”
Uhwakhuva lisikhuli ilyo likhuntola Unguluve.”
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.
Umaliya akhala, “Lola une nili mbombi va khidala va Nguluve. Ilakhe lwe yive vule vule khulione nduvo ilimenyu lyakho.” Pwu unsung'wa akhandekha.
39 Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,
Pwu pafigono ifyo Umaliya akhahega khimbivi mbivi akhaluta khukhelunga khya twamba, khu jini gwa khilonga ya Yuta.
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.
Khaluta mnyumba ya Sakhaliya nu khumponia Uelisabeti.
41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Pyu yikhahumila ukhuta Usabeti avile apolikhe uheponio mwene akhanchumba, nu Sabeti akhadiga umepo umbalenche.
42 She called out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
Akhatoncha ilimenyu lya mwene nu khunchova khulinyu ili vaha, “Usayivwe uve mumbadala, nu mwana uvyalimwitumbu lyakho asayivwe.
43 Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Khange yiva ndakhikhi kyulune ukhuva, mama va Nkuludeva vango ukhuta inche khulione?
44 For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy!
Ulwakhuva, likhavile lipulikhikhemu mbulukhutu nchango ilimenyu lya khuponia uve umwana mwandileme lyango akhanchumbo nu hehovokho.
45 Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!”
Khange asayivwage dala uvi alikwidikha ukhuta vukhala vuhumila khuvumalilo vwa Nkhuludeva.”
46 Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord.
Mariamu akasema, nafsi yangu inamsifu Bwana,
47 My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,
Nu mepo yango yihovwikhile mwa Nguluve umpokhi vango.
48 for he has looked at the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.
Uhwa khuva alolile pasi pa mbombi va mwene udala. Lola, ukhuhuma lino ifipepo fyoni fikhunyi langaga insayiwa.
49 For he who is mighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name.
Ulwa khuva umwene ummanyi avombile imbombo imbaha khuliune, khulitavwa lya mwene ilivalenche.
50 His mercy is for generations and generations on those who fear him.
Uluhungu lwa mwene lutama khipaponi khipato khuvala avikhudwada umwene.
51 He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
Avonisye amakha kwu khwa khivokho kya mwene; avahaselihimie vala ava likwiginie pa masago ga numbula yu vene.
52 He has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted the lowly.
Avisinche pasi avana va vavaha ukhuhuma kwu fitamilo fya vene ifinya hvangulo nu khuvavikha kwu khyanya uvavale va pasi.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.
Alikuvigusya avalininjala kwu finu ifinonu, pwu atayili avaswimile mavakho gene.
54 He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
Ahuminche uvutangile kwa Israeli umbombi va mwene, ukhukumbu kha ukhuvonesya uhihungu lwa mwene
(Nduvu anchovile kwa dada yetu) khwa Abrahamu ni khipapo kya mwene milele.” (aiōn g165)
56 Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.
Umaliya akhatama nu Elisabeti iminchi gidatu ndee pwa khavuya kwu nyumba ya mwene.
57 Now the time that Elizabeth should give birth was fulfilled, and she gave birth to a son.
Pwu lino unsikhi gukhavile guhege lile ugwa Elisabeti ukhuhola umwana udimi.
58 Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her.
Awambunchege na vahukhulolwe vakhapu likha umwu unkuludeva vwa kunchinche uluhunge hwa mwene, pwu vakhahovokha paninie nu mwene.
59 On the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
Pwu yikhahumila ikhigono ikya nane ukhuta vali kwincha kwigida umwana. Yikhenong'ikwa ukhumwilanga ilitavwa lya mwene, “Zekaria,” Ukhuva liyavwa lya dada va mwene,
60 His mother answered, “Not so; but he will be called John.”
Pwa mama va mwene akhamula akhata, “Ate; ikwilangiwa Yohana.”
61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”
Vakhambula, asikhuli nu via liyumo mukikolo kyako uviikwila ngiwa nilitawa ili.”
62 They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
Vakhambombela ikhimanyilo udadaye ukhumbula umwene ukhuta alikunongwa ampe ilitavwa iliveni.
63 He asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, “His name is John.” They all marveled.
Udadaye alikhunongwa ikbavo kya kwandika, pwu akhandikha, “Ilitavwa lya mwene vi Yohana.” Voni valikhudegu pa ili.
64 His mouth was opened immediately and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.
Unsikhi ndugu undomo kwa mwene gulichadinduliwa nu lulimi lwa mwene lulikukyega. Alikhunchova nu khuginia u Nguluve.
65 Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.
Uwudwanchi vukhevinchele voni uvuvatamaga paninie nevene. Imbimbo nchikhagenda ikhulunga kyoni ikya fyamba fya Yuta.
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.
Pwu voni uvuvapulikhe vakha gavika munumbula ncha vene vita, “Umwana uyu viva ndekhekhi nela khekhi?” Ulwakhuva ikhivokho kya Nkuludeva khi khale nu mwene.
67 His father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Udadaye va Sakhaliya adigile umepo umbalanche nu khuhumya uvunyamalago, akhata,
68 “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people;
“Aginivwage Unkuludeva, Unguluve va Israeli, ulwakhuva atangile nu khuvombela uvapokhi vwa vanu va mwene.
69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
Atwimikile ulusuga lwa vupokhi mnyumba ya mbombi va mwene Undaveti, ukuhuhuma mkhikolo kya mbombi va mwene Undaveti,
Nduvu anchovvile kwu ndomo gwa va nyamalago va mwene uvulalepwo imisi khi ikya khatele. (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us;
Ikhutupokha khuvavivi vito nu khumyammavoko ga voni avikhutuvipila.
72 to show mercy toward our fathers, to remember his holy covenant,
Ayivomba evwo ukhuvonesya ikisa khuva dada vito, nu khumbukha uhwidihano lwa mwene uluvalanche,
73 the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
Ulwidiko ulwu anchovile kwa Abrahamu udada vito.
74 to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, should serve him without fear,
Akhidiga ukhugangancha ukhuta yiwesekhano ukhumbombela U Nguluve khesita vudwanchi, vwu tupokiwe ukhuma mumavokho ga vavivi veto.
75 in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life.
Mu vuvalanche nu vwa yehweli mbolongolo mmwene ifigono fyeto fyoni.
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,
Ena, na yuve mwana, vwikhwalaa ngivwa nyamalago va uvali khu kyanya fincho, ulwakhuva ayigendelaga mmbolongolo mwa Nkuludeva ukhuvavikhila injila, ukhuvavikha avanu ukhumulu pilila, umwene,
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the remission of their sins,
Ukhuvavula avanu ukhuta ya vipokhi vwa kwu njila ya khusyikheliwa imbivincha vene.
78 because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the dawn from on high will visit us,
Ili yalihumila ulwakhuva khisa kya Nguluve vito, ulwakhuva ilinehuva ukhuhuma khukhenya likhutinchela
79 to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
ukhuvala khuvala avitama mhisi na mnu mwafuli gwa vufwe ayivombavo ugalongoncha amalunde gitu kwu njila ya lunonchehencho.”
80 The child was growing and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
Pwu, mwana ula akhavula nu khuva na makha mumepo pwa akatama mchagalawe mpakha ihincho lya khuhumila umwene khu Israeli.
