Luke 1
1 Since many have undertaken to compose a history of the things that are fully believed among us,
Kanao maro ty nandrambe am-pitàñe handahatse talily amo raha atokisantikañeo
2 even as they were delivered to us by those who were, from the beginning, eye-witnesses and ministers of the word;
manahake ty nitaroña’ iareo ama’ay, ie nivalolombeloñe boak’am-baloha’e nimpitoroñe i tsaray ama’ay,
3 it seemed good to me also, having obtained exact information of all things from the very first, to write them in order for you, most excellent Theophilus,
le satriko ka, ie hinotsohotsoko boak’ am-baloha’e i hene rezay, ty hanokitse talily soa filahatse ho azo, ry roandria Teofilo,
4 that you might know the certainty of the things in which you have been instructed.
hahafohina’o ty hatò’ i tsara nañohañe azoy.
5 There was, in the days of Herod the king of Judea, a certain priest, named Zachariah, of the class of Abijah; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
Teo tañ’andro’ i Heroda mpanjaka’ Iehodà, ty mpisoroñe atao Zakaria, am-pirimboña’ i Abia; boak’ amo anak’ ampela’ i Aroneo ty tañanjomba’e, i Elizabeta ty tahina’e.
6 They were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord, blameless.
Songa vantañe añatrefan’ Añahare iereo roroe; tsy amam-pitsikoañe ty fañaveloa’iareo amo lily naho fepè’ Iehovào.
7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.
Tsy nanañ’ anake fa betsiterake t’i Elizabeta vaho sambe nigain-kantetse ie roroe.
8 It came to pass, while he was officiating as priest before God, in the order of his class, that,
Aa ie nitoroñe ami’ty naham-pisoroñe aze añatrefan’Añahare ami’ty fifandimbezam-pirimboña’e t’i Zakaria;
9 according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense, when he went into the temple of the Lord.
le amy lilim-pisoroñañey, nitsatok’ ama’e ty hañemboke, le nimoak’ an-kibohon’ Añahare ao,
10 And all the multitude of the people were praying without, at the time of incense.
vaho hene nilolok’ alafe’e ao i màroy amy fotoam-pañembohañey.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
Nisodeha ama’e amy zao ty anjeli’ i Talè, nijohañe an-kavana’ i kitrelim-pañembohañey.
12 And Zachariah was troubled at the sight, and fear fell upon him.
Nianifañe t’i Zakaria te nahaoniñe, nihohokòhoke, vaho nidoiña’ ty firevendreveñañe.
13 But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachariah; for your prayer is heard, and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
Le hoe ty asa’ i anjeliy tama’e; Ko hemban-drehe Zakaria fa jinanjiñe i halali’oy le hisama-dahy ama’o t’i Elizabeta tañanjomba’o vaho toñono ty hoe Jaona ty añara’e.
14 And you shall have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice at his birth.
Ho fale naho ehake irehe vaho maro ty hirebek’ amy hisamaha’ey,
15 For he shall be great before the Lord; and he shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb.
amy t’ie ho ra’elahy añatrefa’ Iehovà, naho tsy hinon-divay ndra toake, vaho ie mbe an-kovin-drene’e ao ro ho lifore’ i Arofo Masiñey.
16 And many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
Maro amo ana’ Israeleo ty hampitolihe’e amy Iehovà Andrianañahare’ey.
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient, by the wisdom of the just, in order to make ready for the Lord a prepared people.
Ie hañavelo añatrefa’eo ami’ty arofo naho haozara’ i Elia, hampitolihe’e amo anakeo ty tron-droae naho mb’ami’ty fahihira’ o vantañeo o manjehatseo, hampihentseñe ondaty veka’e ho a Iehovà.
18 And Zachariah said to the angel: By what sign shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife is advanced in years.
Aa hoe t’i Zakaria tamy anjeliy; Aia ty haharendrehako t’ie to? Bey iraho naho migain-kantetse ka ty valiko.
19 And the angel answered and said to him: I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God; and I am sent to speak to you, and to announce to you this good news.
Tinoi’ i anjeliy ty hoe, Izaho n’o Gabriele mpijohañe añatrefan’ Añahareo; niraheñe hivolañ’ ama’o, hitaroñe o talili-soa zao.
20 And behold, you shall be dumb and not able to speak, till the day in which these things shall take place, because you did not believe my words, which shall be fulfilled in their proper time.
Fe inao! ho moan-drehe, tsy hahasaontsy ampara’ t’ie tafetetse, ami’te tsy natokisa’o o volakoo, ie ho heneke amy nifantañañey.
21 And the people were waiting for Zachariah, and they wondered that he stayed so long in the temple.
Nandiñe i Zakaria ondatio, nilatsa t’ie tambatse amy toetse miavakey ao.
22 But when he came out, he was not able to speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them, and remained speechless.
Ie niavotse, le tsy nahasaontsy am’ iereo naho nioni’ iereo te niboahan-draha añ’ anjomba miavak’ ao, ie nanondrotondro am’iareo, fa le lia’e nimoañe.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were completed, that he departed to his own house.
Ie amy zao, naho niheneke o andro fitoroña’eo, le nimpoly mb’añ’ anjomba’e añe.
24 And after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and kept herself retired for five months, saying:
Añe i andro rezay le niareñe t’i Elizabeta, vali’e, vaho nipalitse lime volañe, fa hoe ty asa’e:
25 Thus has the Lord dealt with me in the days in which he has looked with regard upon me, to take away my reproach among men.
Zao ty nanoe’ Iehovà amako amy andro nivazoho’ey, hañafaha’e amako ty sirika’ondatio.
26 And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
Ie amy fah’enembola’ey le niraheñe boak’ aman’Añahare ao t’i Gabriela anjely homb’an-drova atao Nazareta e Galilia añe,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.
mb’ami’ty somondrara nifofoe’ t’indaty atao Iosefe, anjomba’ i Davide, Marie ty añara’ i somondraray.
28 And the angel came into her presence, and said: Hail, graciously accepted: the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women.
Niheo ama’e i anjeliy nanao ty hoe; Akore ry isoheñe! mitahy azo t’Iehovà.
29 And she was perplexed at his words, and reasoned, what this salutation could mean.
Nitsonevotse amy zao re amy tsara’ey, le nitsakore i fañontanea’ey.
30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary; for you have found favor with God.
Ko hemban-drehe, Marie, hoe i anjeliy fa nanjò fañisohañe aman’ Añahare.
31 And behold, you shall conceive and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.
Oniño t’ie hiareñ’ an-koviñ’ ao le hisama-dahy, vaho hatao’o Iesoà ty añara’e
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of David his father;
Ho fanalolahy re, le ho toñoneñe ty hoe: Ana’ i Andindimoneñey naho hatolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare aze ty fiambesa’ i Davide rae’e;
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
le ho fehe’e nainae’e ty anjomba’ Iakobe vaho tsy ho modo i fifehea’ey. (aiōn g165)
34 But Mary said to the angel: How shall this be, since I know not a man?
Le hoe t’i Marie tamy anjeliy; Akore ty hahamete’ izay, izaho tsy mahavany lahy?
35 And the angel answered and said to her: The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; for which reason, also, that which is begotten, being holy, shall be called the Son of God.
Aa le hoe ty natoi’ i anjeliy aze; Hitotsak’ ama’o i Arofo Masiñey, hañalok’ azo ty haozara’ i Andindimoneñey; le ho toñoneñe ty hoe, Anan’ Añahare, i Masiñe hasama’oy.
36 And behold, Elizabeth your kinswoman, even she has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren;
Inao te niaren-dahy ka t’i Elizabeta longo’o ndra te bey; fa enem-bolañe henaneo i natao betsiterakey,
37 for nothing shall be impossible with God.
Toe tsy eo ty tsy lefen’ Añahare.
38 And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word. And the angel departed from her.
Hoe t’i Marie; Intoy ty anak’ ampata’ Iehovà; lonike te ho amako i sinaontsi’oy. Le nienga aze i anjeliy.
39 And Mary arose in those days, and went with haste into the mountainous country, into a city of Judah;
Niongake amy andro rezay t’i Marie, nikapikapike mb’an-tanàñe ambohibohi’ Iehodà mb’eo;
40 and she came into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
le nimoak’ añ’ anjomba’ i Zakaria ao vaho nañontane i Elizabeta.
41 And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, that the babe in her womb leaped for joy.
Ie jinanji’ i Elizabeta i fañontanea’ i Mariey, le nivoañe ty ajaja an-tro’e ao; mbore nilifore’ i Arofo Masiñey t’i Elizabeta.
42 And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke with a loud voice, and said: Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
Le ty hoe ty napaza’e; Haha amy ze atao ampela irehe vaho soatata ty anake hasama’o.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Ia ka iraho, te nitilihe’ ty rene’ i Talèkoy?
44 For, behold, when the voice of your salutation sounded in my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.
Hete! ie nimoak’ an-tsofiko ao i feom-pañontanea’oy le nisondrakak’an-kaehake ty ajaja an-troko ato.
45 And blessed is she who believed; for there shall be a fulfillment of the things which were spoken to her from the Lord.
En-droa, haha i niantoke te ho henefeñe ama’e o raha nitsarae’ Iehovày.
46 And Mary said: My soul magnifies the Lord,
Aa le nanao ty ti-hoe t’i Marie: Mañonjoñe Iehovà ty fiaiko,
47 and my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior;
vaho mirebek’ aman’Añahare mpandrombak’ ahy ty troko;
48 for he has looked upon the lowly condition of his handmaid. For, behold, from this time, all generations shall call me blessed;
Nivazohoe’e ty hasotria’ i anak’ am-pata’ey, Oniño te hanao ahy haha ze hene tariratse henane zao.
49 for He that is Mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name:
Nanao raha fiain-tane amako i Maozatsey—masiñe ty tahina’e.
50 and his mercy is from generation to generation upon those who fear him.
Ferenaiña’e pak’an-tariratse an-tariratse o mañeveñe ama’eo.
51 He has done mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in the understanding of their hearts.
Nampiboaha’e haozarañe ty fità’e; naparatsia’e o mpiebotsebotse am-pitsakorean-tro’eo.
52 He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the lowly.
Nafotsa’e amo fiambesam-bolo- nahe’eo o fanalolahio, vaho naonjo’e o mpirèkeo.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things, but the rich he has sent empty away.
Nanjàñe’e raha soa o nisalikoo, fe nampolie’e hara’e o mpañalealeo.
54 He has helped Israel his servant, (as he spoke to our fathers, )
Nimbae’e t’Israele mpitoro’e, hahatiahia’e i fiferenaiñañe
nitsarae’e amy Abraàme naho amo tarira’e nainai’eoy, i nampitamà’e an-droaen-tikañey. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
Telo volañe varàñe ty nitoboha’ i Marie ama’e ao vaho nimpoly mb’añ’anjomba’e añe.
57 Now the time for Elizabeth to be delivered had fully come; and she gave birth to a son.
Henek’ amy zao o andro nahatoly i Elizabetao, le nisama-dahy.
58 And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had showed great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.
Jinanji’ ondaty mpitrao-tanàñe ama’eo naho o longo’eo t’ie niferenaiña’ Iehovà, le nitrao-kafaleañe ama’e.
59 And it came to pass, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they called him by the name of his father, Zachariah.
Ie ami’ty andro faha-valo, le nasese ho savareñe i ajajay, vaho ho natao’ iereo Zakaria ty añara’e amy te izay ty tahinan-drae’e,
60 And his mother answered and said: Not so: but he shall be called John.
fa hoe ka ty natoin-drene’e; Aiy! hatao ty hoe Jaona re.
61 And they said to her: There is no one among your relatives that is called by this name.
Aa hoe ty asa’ iareo tama’e; Leo raik’ aman-drolongo’o tsy nitoñoneñe amy tahinañe zay.
62 And they made signs to his father, to know what he wished him to be called.
Le nañatsikatsik’ an-drae’e iereo, ami’ty hoe: Ia ty satri’o hitokavañ’ aze.
63 And having asked for a writing tablet, he wrote, saying: His name is John. And they were all astonished.
Nipay fanokiran-dre vaho nanokitse ty hoe: I Jaona ty añara’e. Aa le hene nidaba.
64 And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue was loosed, and he spoke, and praised God.
Nisokak’ ami’ty manao zao ty falie’e naho nibalake i famele’ey vaho nisaontsy am-pandrengeañe an’ Andrianañahare.
65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them; and all these things were talked of everywhere throughout the mountainous country of Judea.
Hene nangebahebake o mpimoneñe nañohoke iareoo, vaho nirehafeñe mb’eo mb’eo ambohibohi’ Iehodà ao irezay.
66 And all that heard them, laid them up in their hearts, and said: What, then, will this child be? And the hand of the Lord was with him.
Songa nitsakore ty hoe añ’ arofo ao ze nahaoniñe: Ty ajaja ho akore v’itoio? Le nitahy aze ty fità’ Iehovà.
67 And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying:
Lifotse i Arofo Masiñey amy zao t’i Zakaria rae’e vaho nitoky ty ti-hoe:
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people;
Andriañeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, fa nitilihe’e vaho jineba’e ondati’eo.
69 and he has raised up for us, in the house of David his servant, a horn of salvation,
Nampitroara’e tsifam-pandrombahañe tika añ’anjomba’ i Davide mpitoro’e ao,
Nitsara am-palie’ o mpitoky miavakeo i teo nainai’e am-pifotora’ ty voatse toiy, (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
t’ie ho rombaheñe amo rafelahin- tikañeo, naho am-pità’ o malaiñe an-tikañeo,
72 in order to show the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
Hiferenaiña’e o roazan-tikañeo, naho ho tiahi’e i fañina’e miavakey,
73 the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
i fanta nifantà’e amy Abraàme raentikañey,
74 that he would grant to us, that being delivered from the hands of our enemies, we might serve him without fear,
t’ie hatolo’e amantikañe, ie fa vinotso’e amo rafelahintikañeo, hitoroñ’ aze tsy an-kahembañañe,
75 in holiness and righteousness before him, all our days.
am-piavahañe naho an-kavantañañe añatrefa’e amo hene andro iveloman-tikañeo.
76 And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High; for you shall go before the face of the Lord, to make ready his ways,
Le ihe, anako, ty hatao Mpitoki’ i Andindimoneñey, amy te Ihe ty hiaolo i Talè hañajary ty lala homba’e,
77 by giving to his people the knowledge of salvation in the remission of their sins,
hampahaoniñe ondati’eo ty fandrombahañe ie hinahan-kakeo,
78 through the tender mercies of our God; by which the dawn from on high has visited us,
ami’ty fiferenaiñan’ Añaharen-tika— ie nampitilihe’e an-tika i fanjiriha’e boak’ añ’aboy,
79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, by guiding our feet in the way of peace.
Hanolora’e hazavàñe o mpitoboke añ’ieñe ao naho an-talinjon-kavilasio, hiaoloa’e mb’an-dalan-kanintsiñe mb’eo o fandian-tikañeo.
80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.
Nitombo i ajajay le nihaozatse an-troke vaho nitoets’am-babangoañe añe ampara’ ty andro niboaha’e am’Israele.
