Luke 1
1 Since, indeed, many have attempted to set in order a narrative of the things that have been completed among us,
Vazhinji vakaedza kurondedzera nhoroondo dzezvinhu zvakaitika pakati pedu,
2 just as they have been handed on to those of us who from the beginning saw the same and were ministers of the word,
sokuturirwa kwazvakaitwa kwatiri neavo vakazviona kubva pakutanga naivozve vari varanda veshoko.
3 so it seemed good to me also, having diligently followed everything from the beginning, to write to you, in an orderly manner, most excellent Theophilus,
Naizvozvo, sezvo neniwo ndakanyatsoongorora zvose kubva pakutanga, ndakati zvakanakawo kuti ndikunyorerei imi Tiofiro mune mukurumbira, nhoroondo ndichinyatsotevedzanisa,
4 so that you might know the truthfulness of those words by which you have been instructed.
kuitira kuti mugoziva chokwadi chezvinhu zvamakadzidziswa.
5 There was, in the days of Herod, king of Judea, a certain priest named Zechariah, of the section of Abijah, and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
Panguva yaHerodhi mambo weJudhea kwakanga kuno muprista ainzi Zekaria, akanga ari weboka rouprista hwaAbhija; mukadzi wake Erizabheti akanga ari chizvarwa chaAroni.
6 Now they were both just before God, progressing in all of the commandments and the justifications of the Lord without blame.
Vose vakanga vakarurama pamberi paMwari, vachichengeta mirayiro yaShe yose nezvaakatema, vasina zvavangapomerwa.
7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both had become advanced in years.
Asi vakanga vasina vana, nokuti Erizabheti akanga asingabereki; uye vose vari vaviri vakanga vachembera kwazvo.
8 Then it happened that, when he was exercising the priesthood before God, in the order of his section,
Mumwe musi Zekaria akati ari pabasa reboka rake achibata somuprista pamberi paMwari,
9 according to the custom of the priesthood, the lot fell so that he would offer incense, entering into the temple of the Lord.
akasarudzwa nomujenya, maererano netsika youprista, kuti aende andopisa zvinonhuhwira mutemberi yaShe.
10 And the entire multitude of the people was praying outside, at the hour of incense.
Uye nguva yokupisa zvinonhuhwira yakati yasvika, vanamati vose vakaungana panze vachinyengetera.
11 Then there appeared to him an Angel of the Lord, standing at the right of the altar of incense.
Ipapo mutumwa waShe akazviratidza kwaari, akamira kurutivi rworudyi rwearitari yezvinonhuhwira.
12 And upon seeing him, Zechariah was disturbed, and fear fell over him.
Zekaria akati achimuona, akavhunduka uye akabatwa nokutya.
13 But the Angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth shall bear a son to you. And you shall call his name John.
Asi mutumwa akati kwaari, “Usatya, Zekaria; munyengetero wako wanzwikwa. Mukadzi wako Erizabheti achakuberekera mwanakomana, uye unofanira kumutumidza zita rokuti Johani.
14 And there will be joy and exultation for you, and many will rejoice in his nativity.
Achava mufaro nokufarisisa kwamuri, uye vazhinji vachafara nokuda kwokuberekwa kwake,
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.
nokuti achava mukuru pamberi paShe. Haafaniri kutongonwa waini kana zvinonwiwa zvose zvakaviriswa, uye achazadzwa noMweya Mutsvene kunyange kubva pakuberekwa kwake.
16 And he will convert many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God.
Achadzorera vanhu vazhinji vaIsraeri kuna She Mwari wavo.
17 And he will go before him with the spirit and power of Elijah, so that he may turn the hearts of the fathers to the sons, and the incredulous to the prudence of the just, so as to prepare for the Lord a completed people.”
Uye achafamba pamberi paShe, mumweya nomusimba raEria, kuti adzorere mwoyo yamadzibaba kuvana vavo uye kuti vasingateereri vadzokere kuuchenjeri hwavakarurama, kuti agadzirire vanhu vakagadzirirwa kugamuchira Ishe.”
18 And Zechariah said to the Angel: “How may I know this? For I am elderly, and my wife is advanced in years.”
Zekaria akabvunza mutumwa akati, “Ndichazviziva seiko izvi? Ini ndava murume mutana uye mukadzi wangu achembera kwazvo.”
19 And in response, the Angel said to him: “I am Gabriel, who stands before God, and I have been sent to speak to you, and to proclaim these things to you.
Mutumwa akapindura akati, “Ndini Gabhurieri. Ndinomira pamberi paMwari, uye ndatumwa kuti ndizotaura newe, ndizokuudza nhau dzakanaka idzi.
20 And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak, until the day on which these things shall be, because you have not believed my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.”
Uye iye zvino uchava chimumumu uye uchatadza kutaura kusvikira pazuva razvichaitika, nokuti hauna kutenda mashoko angu, iwo achaitika nenguva yawo.”
21 And the people were waiting for Zechariah. And they wondered why he was being delayed in the temple.
Zvichakadaro, vanhu vakanga vakamirira Zekaria vakashamiswa kuti akanga atora nguva yakareba kudai seiko ari mutemberi.
22 Then, when he came out, he was unable to speak to them. And they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he was making signs to them, but he remained mute.
Akati abuda, akasagona kutaura navo. Vakazviona kuti akanga aona chiratidzo mutemberi, nokuti akaramba achitaura navo namaoko, uye akaramba ari chimumumu asingagoni kutaura.
23 And it happened that, after the days of his office were completed, he went away to his house.
Nguva yokushumira kwake yakati yapera, akadzokera kumba kwake.
24 Then, after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and she hid herself for five months, saying:
Shure kwaizvozvo, mukadzi wake Erizabheti akava nemimba uye akazvivanza kwemwedzi mishanu.
25 “For the Lord did this for me, at the time when he decided to take away my reproach among men.”
Akati mumwoyo make, “Ishe andiitira izvi. Mumazuva ano akaratidza nyasha dzake uye akabvisa kunyadziswa kwangu pakati pavanhu.”
26 Then, in the sixth month, the Angel Gabriel was sent by God, to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
Mumwedzi wechitanhatu, Mwari akatuma mutumwa Gabhurieri kuNazareta, guta riri muGarirea,
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.
kumhandara yakanga yatsidzirwa kuwanikwa nomurume ainzi Josefa, chizvarwa chaDhavhidhi. Zita remhandara iyi rainzi Maria.
28 And upon entering, the Angel said to her: “Hail, full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women.”
Mutumwa akasvika kwaari akati, “Kwaziwa, iwe wakanzwirwa nyasha zvikuru! Ishe anewe.”
29 And when she had heard this, she was disturbed by his words, and she considered what kind of greeting this might be.
Maria akatambudzika zvikuru namashoko ake uye akashamiswa kuti kukwazisa kwakadai ndekworudzii.
30 And the Angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace with God.
Asi mutumwa akati kwaari, “Usatya, Maria, iwe wanzwirwa nyasha naMwari.
31 Behold, you shall conceive in your womb, and you shall bear a son, and you shall call his name: JESUS.
Uchava nomwana uye uchazvara mwanakomana, ugomutumidza zita rokuti Jesu.
32 He will be great, and he will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father.
Achava mukuru uye achanzi Mwanakomana weWokumusoro-soro. Ishe Mwari achamupa chigaro choushe chababa vake Dhavhidhi,
33 And he will reign in the house of Jacob for eternity. And his kingdom shall have no end.” (aiōn g165)
uye achatonga pamusoro peimba yaJakobho nokusingaperi; umambo hwake hahungatongogumi.” (aiōn g165)
34 Then Mary said to the Angel, “How shall this be done, since I do not know man?”
Maria akabvunza mutumwa akati, “Ko, izvi zvichaitika seiko sezvo ini ndiri mhandara?”
35 And in response, the Angel said to her: “The Holy Spirit will pass over you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. And because of this also, the Holy One who will be born of you shall be called the Son of God.
Mutumwa akapindura achiti, “Mweya Mutsvene achauya pamusoro pako, uye simba reWokumusoro-soro richakufukidza. Saka mutsvene achazvarwa achanzi Mwanakomana waMwari.
36 And behold, your cousin Elizabeth has herself also conceived a son, in her old age. And this is the sixth month for her who is called barren.
Kunyange hama yako Erizabheti achava nomwana pamazuva okukwegura kwake, uye mwedzi uno ndowechitanhatu kuna iye ainzi asingabereki.
37 For no word will be impossible with God.”
Nokuti hakuna chinhu chisingagonekwi naMwari.”
38 Then Mary said: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me according to your word.” And the Angel departed from her.
Maria akati, “Ini ndiri muranda waShe. Ngazviitike hazvo kwandiri sezvamareva.” Ipapo mutumwa akabva paari.
39 And in those days, Mary, rising up, traveled quickly into the hill country, to a city of Judah.
Panguva iyoyo Maria akagadzirira ndokukurumidza kuenda kune rimwe guta romunyika yezvikomo yeJudhea,
40 And she entered into the house of Zechariah, and she greeted Elizabeth.
uko kwaakasvikopinda mumba maZekaria akakwazisa Erizabheti.
41 And it happened that, as Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Erizabheti akati anzwa kukwazisa kwaMaria, mwana akakwakuka mudumbu make, ipapo Erizabheti akazadzwa noMweya Mutsvene.
42 And she cried out with a loud voice and said: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
Akadanidzira nenzwi guru achiti, “Wakaropafadzwa iwe pakati pavakadzi, uye akaropafadzwa mwana wauchazvara!
43 And how does this concern me, so that the mother of my Lord would come to me?
Asi ini ndanzwirwawo nyasha seiko, zvokuti mai vaShe wangu vauye kwandiri?
44 For behold, as the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
Pangosvika inzwi rokukwazisa kwenyu munzeve dzangu mwana ari mudumbu mangu abva akwakuka nomufaro.
45 And blessed are you who believed, for the things that were spoken to you by the Lord shall be accomplished.”
Akaropafadzwa iye akatenda kuti zvakataurwa kwaari naShe zvichaitika!”
46 And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord.
Maria akati: “Mwoyo wangu unokudza Ishe
47 And my spirit leaps for joy in God my Savior.
uye mweya wangu unofara muna Mwari Muponesi wangu,
48 For he has looked with favor on the humility of his handmaid. For behold, from this time, all generations shall call me blessed.
nokuti akanga ane hanya nokuninipiswa kwomurandakadzi wake. Kubva zvino marudzi ose achanditi ndakaropafadzwa,
49 For he who is great has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
nokuti Iye Wamasimba andiitira zvinhu zvikuru, zita rake idzvene.
50 And his mercy is from generation to generations for those who fear him.
Ngoni dzake dzinosvika kuna avo vanomutya, kubva kune chimwe chizvarwa kusvikira kune chimwe chizvarwa.
51 He has accomplished powerful deeds with his arm. He has scattered the arrogant in the intentions of their heart.
Iye akaita mabasa esimba noruoko rwake; akaparadzira avo vanozvikudza mundangariro dzemwoyo yavo.
52 He has deposed the powerful from their seat, and he has exalted the humble.
Akabvisa vatongi pazvigaro zvavo, asi akasimudzira vanozvininipisa.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
Akagutsa vane nzara nezvinhu zvakanaka, asi akadzinga vapfumi vasina chinhu.
54 He has taken up his servant Israel, mindful of his mercy,
Akabatsira muranda wake Israeri, achirangarira kuva nengoni,
kuna Abhurahama nezvizvarwa zvake nokusingaperi, kunyange sezvaakareva kumadzibaba edu.” (aiōn g165)
56 Then Mary stayed with her for about three months. And she returned to her own house.
Maria akagara naErizabheti kwemwedzi inenge mitatu uye mushure maizvozvo akazodzokera zvake kumusha.
57 Now the time for Elizabeth to give birth arrived, and she brought forth a son.
Nguva yakati yasvika yokuti Erizabheti ave nomwana, akazvara mwana mukomana.
58 And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and so they congratulated her.
Vavakidzani vake nehama dzake vakanzwa kuti Ishe akanga amunzwira ngoni huru, vakafara pamwe chete naye.
59 And it happened that, on the eighth day, they arrived to circumcise the boy, and they called him by his father’s name, Zechariah.
Pazuva rorusere vakauya kuzodzingisa mwana, uye vakanga vachizomutumidza zita rababa vake Zekaria,
60 And in response, his mother said: “Not so. Instead, he shall be called John.”
asi mai vake vakati, “Kwete! Anofanira kunzi Johani.”
61 And they said to her, “But there is no one among your relatives who is called by that name.”
Ivo vakati kwaari, “Pakati pehama dzenyu hapana munhu ane zita iroro.”
62 Then they made signs to his father, as to what he wanted him to be called.
Ipapo vakaninira namaoko kuna baba vake, kuti vazive zita raaida kupa mwana.
63 And requesting a writing tablet, he wrote, saying: “His name is John.” And they all wondered.
Akavakumbira pokunyorera, akanyora kuti “Zita rake ndiJohani” uye vose vakashamiswa nazvo.
64 Then, at once, his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosened, and he spoke, blessing God.
Pakarepo muromo wake wakazarurwa uye rurimi rwake rukasunungurwa, akatanga kutaura, achirumbidza Mwari.
65 And fear fell upon all of their neighbors. And all these words were made known throughout all the hill country of Judea.
Vavakidzani vose vakazadzwa nokutya, nomunyika yose yezvikomo yeJudhea vanhu vakataura pamusoro pezvinhu izvi zvose.
66 And all those who heard it stored it up in their heart, saying: “What do you think this boy will be?” And indeed, the hand of the Lord was with him.
Vanhu vose vakazvinzwa vakashamiswa nazvo, vakati, “Mwana uyu achava akadiniko?” Nokuti ruoko rwaShe rwaiva naye.
67 And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit. And he prophesied, saying:
Zekaria baba vake vakazadzwa noMweya Mutsvene uye vakaprofita vachiti:
68 “Blessed is the Lord God of Israel. For he has visited and has wrought the redemption of his people.
“Ishe, Mwari waIsraeri ngaakudzwe, nokuti akauya akadzikinura vanhu vake.
69 And he has raised up a horn of salvation for us, in the house of David his servant,
Akatisimudzira runyanga rworuponeso muimba yomuranda wake Dhavhidhi,
sezvaakataura kubudikidza navaprofita vake vatsvene vekare, (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all those who hate us,
iko kuponeswa kubva kuvavengi vedu naparuoko rwavose vanotivenga,
72 to accomplish mercy with our fathers, and to call to mind his holy testament,
kunzwira madzibaba edu ngoni nokurangarira sungano yake tsvene,
73 the oath, which he swore to Abraham, our father, that he would grant to us,
mhiko yaakapikira baba vedu Abhurahama:
74 so that, having been freed from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear,
kutinunura kubva muruoko rwavavengi vedu, uye kutigonesa kuti timushumire tisingatyi,
75 in holiness and in justice before him, throughout all our days.
muutsvene nokururama pamberi pake mazuva edu ose.
76 And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High. For you will go before the face of the Lord: to prepare his ways,
“Uye iwe, mwana wangu, uchanzi muprofita weWokumusoro-soro; nokuti uchatungamira pamberi paShe kuti umugadzirire nzira,
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people for the remission of their sins,
kuti ape vanhu vake ruzivo rworuponeso kubudikidza nokuregererwa kwezvivi zvavo,
78 through the heart of the mercy of our God, by which, descending from on high, he has visited us,
nokuda kwomwoyo munyoro waMwari wedu, naye zuva richatibudira richibva kudenga,
79 to illuminate those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to direct our feet in the way of peace.”
kuti rivhenekere pamusoro paavo vagere murima nomumumvuri worufu, uye kuti usesedze tsoka dzedu munzira yorugare.”
80 And the child grew, and he was strengthened in spirit. And he was in the wilderness, until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
Uye mwana akakura akava nesimba mumweya; uye akagara mugwenga kusvikira azoonekwa pachena kuvaIsraeri.
