Luke 1
1 Many have undertaken to compose an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,
Bhamehele bhakitahidi kubheka simulizi mpangilio kuhusu masuala ambagho ghatimisibhu kati jhitu,
2 just as they were handed down to us by the initial eyewitnesses and servants of the word.
Kama kyabhatupelili tete, ambabho kuhomela kubhuandu twajhele mashahidi bha mihu ni bhatumishi bha bhajumbe.
3 Therefore, having carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,
Hivyo ni nene kabhele, baada jha kuchungusya kwa uangalifu chanzo kya mambo ghoha agha kuhoma kubhuandu - nibhuene ni kinofu kwa nene kabhele kukuj'handikila mu mpangilio bhuake - mheshimibhwa Theofilo.
4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
Ili kwamba abhwesiajhi kumanya ukweli ghwa mambo ghaufundisibhu.
5 In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah, and whose wife Elizabeth was a daughter of Aaron.
Katika magono gha Herode, mfalme ghwa Yudea, pajhele ni kuhani fulani jhaakutibhweghe Zakaria, bhwa lukholo lwa Abiya. N'dala munu ahomili mu bhabinti bha Haruni, ni lihina lya muene akutibhweghe Elizabeth.
6 Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and decrees of the Lord.
Bhoha bhajhele ni haki mbele sya k'yara; Bhagendili bila lawama mu amri syoha ni malagisu gha Bwana.
7 But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well along in years.
Lakini bhajhelepi ni muana, kwandabha Elizabeth ajhe tasa, ni kwa wakati obho bhuoha bhoha bhabhele bhajhele bhaseya sana.
8 One day while Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,
Henu jhatokili kujha Zakaria ajhele ku uwepo bhwa K'yara, akajhendelela ni wajibu bhwa kikuhani ku utaratibu bhwa zamu jha muene.
9 he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
Kulengana ni desturi jha kuchagula ndo kuhani jholekhu jhaibetakuhudumu, jha ahagulibhu kwa kura kujhingila mu hekalu lya Bwana ni kabhele ngaafukizi uvumba.
10 And at the hour of the incense offering, the whole congregation was praying outside.
Likundi lyoha lya bhanu likajha lis'oka kwibhala wakati bhwa kufukizibhwa kwa uvumba.
11 Just then an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
Henu malaika bha Bwana bhan'tokili ni kujhenia lubhafu lwa kulia bhwa madhabahu gha kufukizila.
12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and gripped with fear.
Zakaria atishiki bho ambwene; hofu jhambinili.
13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John.
Lakini malaika akan'jobhela, “Usitili Zakaria, kwandabha maombi gha jhobhi nighap'eliki. N'dala bhu Elizabeth ibeta kuhogola mwana. Lihina lya muene wibetakun'kuta Yohana.
14 He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice at his birth,
Wibetakujha ni furaha ni uchangamfu, ni bhingi bhibeta kuhobhokela kuhogoleka kwa muene.
15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He shall never take wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb.
Kwa kujha wibetakujha wembahe pa mihu gha Bwana. Ibetalepi kunywa divai wala kinywaji kikali, na ibeta kujha ajasibhu ni Roho mtakatifu kuhomela mu lileme lya nyinamunu.
16 Many of the sons of Israel he will turn back to the Lord their God.
Ni bhanu bhingi bha Israel bhibeta kugeusibhwa kwa Bwana k'yara ghwa bhene.
17 And he will go on before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
Ibeta kulota palongolo pa mihu pa Bwana ku Roho ni nghofu sya Eliya. Ibeta kubhomba naha ili kukerebhusya mioyo ghya Dadi kwa bhana, ili kwamba bhabhibela kutii bhibeta kulota mu hekima jha bhenye haki. Ibeta kubhomba naha ili kubheka tayari kwa Bwana bhanu ambabho bhaandalibhu kwa ndabha jha muene.”
18 “How can I be sure of this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “I am an old man, and my wife is well along in years.”
Zakaria akan'jobhela malaika, “Nibetakubhwesya bhuli kumanya ele? kwandabha nene ne n'seya ni n'dala bhangu miaka ghya muene ghimehele sana.”
19 “I am Gabriel,” replied the angel. “I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.
Malaika ajibili ni kun'jobhela, “Nene ne Gabrili, ambajhe nijhema palongolo pa K'yara. Nalaghisibhu kukujobhela, kukuletela habari ejhe njema.
20 And now you will be silent and unable to speak until the day this comes to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at their proper time.”
Na langayi, wibetalepi kulongela, wibetakujha kununu, wibetalepi kulongela mpaka ligono lela mambo agha pa ghibeta kuhomela. Ejhe Kwandabha ghwa shindilu kukiera malobhi ghangu ambagho ghibeta kutimisibhwa kwa wakati mwafaka.”
21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he took so long in the temple.
Henu bhanu bhakajha bhakandela Zakaria. Bhasyangesibhu kujha ajhele itumila muda ghumehele mu hekalu.
22 When he came out and was unable to speak to them, they realized he had seen a vision in the temple. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless.
Lakini bho ahomili kwibhala, abhwesilepi kulongela nabhu. Bhakatambula kujha ibeta kujha akabhili maono bho ajhe mu hekalu. Ajhendelili kulasya ishara ni kubakila kinunu.
23 And when the days of his service were complete, he returned home.
Ikatokela kwamba lgono lya huduma jha muene bhosimaliki kukerebhuka kunyumba jha muene.
24 After these days, his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. She declared,
Baada jha Zakaria kukerebhuka kunyumba kuhoma ku huduma jha muene jhe hekalu, n'dala munu ajhe ni luleme. Ni muene abhokilepi panyumba jha muene kwa muda bhwa miezi mitano. Akajobha,
25 “The Lord has done this for me. In these days He has shown me favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.”
“Ele ndo Bwana alibhombi kwa nene bho anilangili kwa upendeleo ili kujhibhosya soni jha nene palongolo pa bhanu.”
26 In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,
Henu, pa mwesi ghwa sita bhwa luleme lwa Elizabeth, k'yara an'jobhili malaika Gabrieli kulota ku mji ghwa Galilaya bhwawikutibhwa Nazareti,
27 to a virgin pledged in marriage to a man named Joseph, who was of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary.
Kwa bikra jha aposibhu ni n'gosi ambajhe lihina lya muene lyajhele Yusufu. Muene ajhele bhwa lukholo lwa Daudi, ni lihina lya bikra ojhu ajhele Mariamu.
28 The angel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
Akahida kwa muene ni kujobha, “salaam, bhebhe jhe upokili neema mbaha! Bwana apendisibhu nabhi”
29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
Lakini malobhi gha malaika ghan'changenye na ajhelibhu lepi kwandabha jha kiki malaika ajobhili salaam ejhe jha ajabu kwa muene.
30 So the angel told her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
Malaika akan'jobhela, “Usitili, Mariamu, kwandabha ukabhili neema kuhoma kwa k'yara.
31 Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus.
Na langayi, na wibeta kuhogola muana. Ni bhebhe wibetakun'kuta lihina lya muene '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,
Ibeta kujha mbaha ne ibeta kukutibhwa mwana jha ajhee panani sana. Bwana k'yara ibeta kump'ela kiti kya enzi kya Daudi dadimunu.
Ibeta kutawala panani pa lukholo lwa Yakobo milele ni ufalme bhwa muene wibetalepi kujha ni mwisho. (aiōn g165)
34 “How can this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
Mariamu akan'jobhela malaika, e'le libetakutokela kwa muda gani, ndabha nibhwajhi lepi kugona ni n'gosi jhejhioha?
35 The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God.
Malaika ajibili ni kun'jobhela, “Roho mtakatifu ibeta kuhidila juu jha bhebhe, ni nghofu jha ajhekunani sana jhibeta kuhida panani pa bhebhe. kwa hiyo, mtakatifu jha ibeta kuhogoleka ibeta kukutibhwa mwana ghwa K'yara.
36 Look, even Elizabeth your relative has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called barren is in her sixth month.
Na langayi, ndongo bhu Elizabeth ajhe ni luleme lwa mwana mu umri bhwa muene bhwa useya. Obho ndo mwesu ghwa sita kwa muene, ambajhe ambajhe akutibhweghe mgumba.
37 For no word from God will ever fail.”
Kwandabha lijhelepi libeta kubwesekana kwa k'yara.”
38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it happen to me according to your word.” Then the angel left her.
Mariamu akajobha, “Langayi, nene na n'tumishi n'dala ghwa Bwana. Lekajhi jhijhelayi naha kwa nene sawasawa ni ujumbe bhwa jhobhi.” Kisha malaika akandeka.
39 In those days Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judah,
Ndipo katika magono aghu Mariamu abhokili manyata alotili ku nchi jha vilima, ku mji katika nchi jha Yudea.
40 where she entered the home of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
Alotili munyumba jha Zakaria ni kumponesya Elizabeth.
41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Bho ap'eliki salamu jha Mariamu, muana mulileme lya muene arukili, ni Elizabeth akamemesibhwa ni Roho mtakatifu.
42 In a loud voice she exclaimed, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
Apazili sauti jha muene ni kujobha kwa sauti mbaha, “ubarikibhu bhebhe zaidi miongoni mwa bhadala, ni muana jha ajhele mu lileme lya jhobhi abarikibhu.
43 And why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Na jhijhebhuli kwa nene kujha, mabhu ghwa Bwana bhangu jhilondekaghe ahidayi kwa nene?
44 For as soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
Kwa kujha langayi, bhojhipelekiki mie mb'olokhoto mwa nene sauti jha kuponesya kwa jhobhi, muana mulileme lya nene aruki kwa furaha.
45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord’s word to her will be fulfilled.”
Na abarikibhu n'dala jhola ambajhe akyeriri jha kujha ngeuhomili ukamilifu bhwa mambo ghala ghaajobhibhu kuhoma kwa Bwana.”
46 Then Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,
Mariamu akajobha, nafsi jha nene jhikan'sifu Bwana,
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!
ni roho jha nene jhibiobhwiki kwa k'yara mwokozi ghwangu.
48 For He has looked with favor on the humble state of His servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed.
Kwandabha ajhilangili hali jha pasi jha n'tumishi bhwa muene n'dala. Langayi, tangu henu mu fizazi fyoha bhibeta kunikuta mbarikibhwa.
49 For the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is His name.
Kwandabha muene jha ajhe muweza abhombi mambo mabhaha kwa nene, ni lihina lya muene ni takatifu.
50 His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation.
Rehema jha muene jhidumu kuh'oma kizazi hadi kizazi kwa bhale bhabhaken'heshimu muene.
51 He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
Alasili nghofo kwa kibhoko kya muene; abhatawenye bhela bhabhikifuneghe panani pa mabhwasu gha mioyo ghya bhene.
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones, but has exalted the humble.
Abhaselisi pasi bhana bha bhafalme kuhoma pa fiti fya bhene fya enzi ni kubhajhinula panani bhabhejhele bha hali jha pasi.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things, but has sent the rich away empty.
Abheshibishi bhenye njala kwa fenu finofu, bali matajiri abhabhengili mabhoko mat'opu.
54 He has helped His servant Israel, remembering to be merciful,
Ahomisi msaada kwa Israeli n'tumishi ghwa muene, ili kukhomboka kulasya rehema.
(Kama kyaajobhili kwa bhadadi jhitu) kwa Abrahamu ni uzao bhwa muene milele.” (aiōn g165)
56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
Mariamu atamili ni Elizabeth yapata miesi midatu efe ndo akakerebhuka kunyumba jha muene.
57 When the time came for Elizabeth to have her child, she gave birth to a son.
Henu wakati bhwajhele uwadili kwa Elizabeth kwifungula mwana bhwa muene ni kwifungula mwana ghwa kigosi.
58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they rejoiced with her.
Majirani bha muene ni bhalongo munu bhap'eliki jinsi Bwana kya ajhikuzili rehema kwa muene, na bhahobhwiki pamonga ni muene.
59 On the eighth day, when they came to circumcise the child, they were going to name him after his father Zechariah.
Henu jhatokili ligono lya nane kwamba bhahidili kun'tahiri muana. Jhilondekaghe kun'kuta lihina lya muene, “Zekaria,” kwa kuzingatila lihina lya Dadimunu,
60 But his mother replied, “No! He shall be called John.”
Lakini nyinamunu ajibili ni kujobhoha, “Lepi; ibeta kukutibhwa Yohana.”
61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who bears this name.”
Bhakan'jobhela ajhelepi hata mmonga kwa bhalongobhu jhaikutibhwa kwa lihina e'le.”
62 So they made signs to his father to find out what he wanted to name the child.
Bhakambombela ishara Dadimunu kuashiria muene alondeghe lihina akutibhwayi niani.
63 Zechariah asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.
Dadi munu alondeghe kibao kya kulembela, na akalemba, “Lihina lya muene Yohana.” Bhoha bhasyangesibhu ni e'le.
64 Immediately Zechariah’s mouth was opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak, praising God.
Ghafla ndomo ghwa muene ghwafungulibhu ni lumilu lwa muene lwajhele huru. Akalongela ni kun'sifu k'yara.
65 All their neighbors were filled with awe, and people throughout the hill country of Judea were talking about these events.
Hofu jhikabhahidila bhoha bhabhaishieghe karibu nabhu. Mambo agha ghakaenela mu nchi jhioha jha vilima vya Yudea.
66 And all who heard this wondered in their hearts and asked, “What then will this child become?” For the Lord’s hand was with him.
Na bhoha bhabhap'eliki bhaghatunzili mu mioyo ghya bhene, bhakajobha, “Muana ojho kujha ghwa namna jheleku?” kwandabha kibhoko kya Bwana kyajhele pamonga naku.
67 Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
Dadimunu Zekaria amemesibhu ni Roho mtakatifu na ahomisi unabii, akajobha,
68 “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and redeemed His people.
“Asifibhwayi Bwana, k'yara ghwa Israeli, kwandabha asaidili na ashughulikili wokovu bhwa bhanu bha muene.
69 He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David,
Atujhimelili pembe jha wokovu mu nyumba jha mtumishi bhwa muene Daudi, kuh'oma miongoni mwa mtumishi bhwa muene Daudi,
Kama kyaajobhili kwa kinywa kya manabii bha muene bhabhajhele kuhoma muandi. (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us,
Ibeta kutuokola kuhoma kwa bhaadui bhitu ni kuhoma mumabhoko gha bhoha bha bhatudadili.
72 to show mercy to our fathers and to remember His holy covenant,
Ibeta kubhomba naha kulasya rehema kwa Dadi jhitu ni kukhomboka agano lya muene takatifu,
73 the oath He swore to our father Abraham, to grant us
Kiapo kyaajobhili kwa Abrahamu Dadi jhitu.
74 deliverance from hostile hands, that we may serve Him without fear,
Alapili kuthibitisya kwamba ngajhibhwesekene kun'tumikila muene bila bhuogha baada jha kuokolebhwa kuhoma mu mabhoko jha maadui bhitu.
75 in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our lives.
Mu utakatifu ni haki palongolo pa tete magono ghitu ghoha.
76 And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for Him,
Ena, ni nabii ghwa ajhele panani sana, kwa kujha wibetakulota palongolo pa mihu pa Bwana ili kubhajhendalila njela, kubhaandala bhanu kwa ndabha jha ujio bhwa muene,
77 to give to His people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,
kujha bhibeta kuokolibhwa kwa njela jha kusamehebhwa dhambi sya bhene.
78 because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the Dawn will visit us from on high,
Ele libeta kuhomela kwa ndabha jha huruma jha k'yara ghwitu, sababu ambajho lijobha kuhomela kunani libeta kutu hidila,
79 to shine on those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
Kajhangasya kwa bhene bhabhitama mu ngisi ni mu kivuli kya mauti. Ibeta kubhomba naha kujhilongosya magolo ghitu ku njela jha amani.”
80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the wilderness until the time of his public appearance to Israel.
Henu, muana jhola akakhola ni kujha mwenye nghofu mu roho na atamili nyikani mpaka ligono lya kwitokesya kwa muene kwa Israeli.
