Luke 1
1 Forasmuch as many have undertaken to draw up a relation concerning the matters fully believed among us,
Bonchcho Tewofiloosa, nu giddon polettidabas daroti, banttaw dandda7ettida mela xaafidosona.
2 as those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses of and attendants on the Word have delivered them to us,
He taarikiya entti xaafiday koyroppe doomidi ayfe markkatinne qaala haggaazeyssati nuus odidayssa.
3 it has seemed good to me also, accurately acquainted from the origin with all things, to write to thee with method, most excellent Theophilus,
Takka ta baggara koyroppe akeeka xeellidaappe guye, he taarikiya hanotaa maarayada new xaafoy taw lo77o gidi benttis.
4 that thou mightest know the certainty of those things in which thou hast been instructed.
Hessika, ne tamaaridabay tuma gideyssa erisanaassa.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Abia, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.
Yihuda kawuwa Heroodisa wode Abbaya yaraappe gidida Zakkariyaasa giya Ayhude kahiney de7ees. Iya machchiyaka Aarona sheeshaappe. I sunthaykka Elsabeexo.
6 And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Nam77ayka Godaa woganne kiita ubbaa naagidi borey baynna Xoossaa sinthan xillotethan de7idosona.
7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.
Hanoppe attin Elsabeexa maynthi gidida gisho enttaw na7i baawa. Nam77ayka qassi cimidosona.
8 And it came to pass, as he fulfilled his priestly service before God in the order of his course,
Issi gallas Zakkariyaasi ba gishuwa maaran Xoossaa sinthan kahinetethan haggaazees.
9 it fell to him by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter into the temple of the Lord to burn incense.
Kahinetetha wogan Xoossa Keethi gelidi ixaane cuyisanaw iya saami gakkis.
10 And all the multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense.
Ixaaney cuya wode asay karen woossees.
11 And an angel of [the] Lord appeared to him, standing on the right of the altar of incense.
Godaa kiitanchchoy yarshshuwa yarshshiya bessaafe ushachcha baggara eqqidi benttis.
12 And Zacharias was troubled, seeing [him], and fear fell upon him.
Zakkariyaasi iya be7ida wode dagammidi daro yayyis.
13 But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias, because thy supplication has been heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
Shin kiitanchchoy iyaakko, “Zakkariyaasa yayyofa; ne woosay si7ettis. Ne machchiya Elsabeexa adde na7a yelana, iya Yohaannisa gada ne sunthana.
14 And he shall be to thee joy and rejoicing, and many shall rejoice at his birth.
I new injjenne ufayssi gidana; daroti iya yeletethan ufayttana.
15 For he shall be great before [the] Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with [the] Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
Godaa sinthan I gita gidana woyne ushshaa gidin hara mathoya ushshaa uyenna. Ba aaye ulon de7ishe Geeshsha Ayyaanan kumana.
16 And many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to [the] Lord their God.
Isra7eele asatappe darota bantta Godaa, Xoossaakko zaarana.
17 And he shall go before him in [the] spirit and power of Elias, to turn hearts of fathers to children, and disobedient ones to [the] thoughts of just [men], to make ready for [the] Lord a prepared people.
Aawata wozana naytakko zaarana, kiitettonayssata xillota cinccatethaako zaarana mela, Godaas bessiya dere giigisanaw Eliyaasa ayyaananinne wolqqan Godaa sinthan baana” yaagis.
18 And Zacharias said to the angel, How shall I know this, for I am an old man, and my wife advanced in years?
Zakkariyaasi kiitanchchuwako, “Ta hessa aybin eranee? Taaranne ta machcheera cimida” yaagis.
19 And the angel answering, said to him, I am Gabriel, who stand before God, and I have been sent to speak to thee, and to bring these glad tidings to thee;
Kiitanchchoy zaaridi, “Taani Xoossaa sinthan eqqiya Gabreele. Ha mishirachchuwa new odanaw Xoossaafe kiitetas.
20 and behold, thou shalt be silent and not able to speak, till the day in which these things shall take place, because thou hast not believed my words, the which shall be fulfilled in their time.
Hekko, wodiya naagidi polettiya ta qaala ne ammanonna ixxida gisho, hayssi polettana gakkanaw neeni muume gidana, odettanawukka dandda7akka” yaagis.
21 And the people were awaiting Zacharias, and they wondered at his delaying in the temple.
He wode Zakkariyaasi Xoossa Keethi gelidi gam77ida gisho, aybi hanide gidi asay karen naagishe gam77is.
22 But when he came out he could not speak to them, and they recognised that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he was making signs to them, and continued dumb.
I kare keyidi enttana odisanaw dandda7ibeenna. Malli besoppe attin odettanaw dandda7onayssa be7ida wode qonccethi be7idayssa eridosona.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were completed, he departed to his house.
Zakkariyaasi ba haggazuwa polidi soo simmis.
24 Now after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Hessafe guye, iya machchiya Elsabeexa qanthatasu. Ichchashu ageena kumethi bana geenthada gam77asu.
25 Thus has [the] Lord done to me in [these] days in which he looked upon [me] to take away my reproach among men.
Iya, “Goday ba maarotan ta boriya asaa giddofe digganaw be7idi ha wodiyan hayssa oothis” yaagasu.
26 But in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent of God to a city of Galilee, of which [the] name [was] Nazareth,
Elsabeexa qanthatin usuppuntha ageenan, Xoossay kiitanchchuwa Gabreele Galiila biittan de7iya Naazirete katamaa kiittis.
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name [was] Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name [was] Mary.
Kawuwa Dawite sheeshaappe gidida Yoosefa giya uraas oyshettida geela7eekko kiittis. He geela7iya Mayraamo geetettawusu.
28 And the angel came in to her, and said, Hail, [thou] favoured one! the Lord [is] with thee: [blessed art thou amongst women].
Kiitanchchoy iikko bidi, “Daro dosettidare, saroy new gido, Xoossay neera de7ees” yaagis.
29 But she, [seeing] [the angel], was troubled at his word, and reasoned in her mind what this salutation might be.
Mayraama iya odan daro dagammada, “Hayssi aybi sarotho” gada heetasu.
30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God;
Kiitanchchoy zaaridi, “Mayraame babbofa; neeni Xoossaa sinthan saba demmadasa.
31 and behold, thou shalt conceive in the womb and bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
Hekko neeni qanthatana adde na7a yelana, iya sunthaaka Yesuusa gada sunthana.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called Son of [the] Highest; and [the] Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father;
I gita gidana, Ubbaafe Bolla Xoossaa na7aa geetetti xeegettana. Godaa Xoossay iya aawa Dawite araata iyaw immana.
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for the ages, and of his kingdom there shall not be an end. (aiōn g165)
I Yayqooba sheeshaa bolla merinaw kawotana; iya kawotethaas zawi baawa” yaagis. (aiōn g165)
34 But Mary said to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?
Mayraama kiitanchchuwako, “Hessi waanidi hananee? Ta adde erikke” yaagasu.
35 And the angel answering said to her, [The] Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and power of [the] Highest overshadow thee, wherefore the holy thing also which shall be born shall be called Son of God.
Kiitanchchoy zaaridi, “Geeshsha Ayyaanay ne bolla wodhdhana, Ubbaafe Bolla Xoossaa wolqqay ne bolla kuyattana. Hessa gisho, yelettiya geeshsha na7ay Xoossaa Na7aa geetettana.
36 And behold, Elizabeth, thy kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her that was called barren:
Hekko, ne dabbiya Elsabeexa ba cimatetha laythan adde na7a qanthatasu. Iya maynthi geetettidaaro, shin ha77i usuppuntha ageena oykkasu.
37 for nothing shall be impossible with God.
Xoossaa xooniyabay baawa” yaagis.
38 And Mary said, Behold the bondmaid of [the] Lord; be it to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
Mayraama, “Hekko, taani Godaa aylliw, ne qaalada taw hano” yaagasu. Hessafe guye, kiitanchchoy iippe shaakettis.
39 And Mary, rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah,
Mayraama he saaminttan denddada Yihuda biittan de7iya issi geze katama basu.
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth.
Zakkariyaasa soo gelada Elsabeexo sarothasu.
41 And it came to pass, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with [the] Holy Spirit,
Elsabeexa Mayraami sarothuwa si7ida wode I uluwan de7iya na7ay ufayssan guppis. Elsabeexa Geeshsha Ayyaanan kumada,
42 and cried out with a loud voice and said, Blessed [art] thou amongst women, and blessed the fruit of thy womb.
ba qaala dhoqqu oothada, “Neeni maccasaa giddofe anjjettidaaro, ne qanthatida na7aykka anjjettidayssa.
43 And whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Hanoshin, ta Godaa aaye, neeni taakko yaana mela taani oonee?
44 For behold, as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped with joy in my womb.
Hekko ne sarothuwa ta si7ida wode ta uluwan de7iya na7ay ufayssan guppis.
45 And blessed [is] she that has believed, for there shall be a fulfilment of the things spoken to her from [the] Lord.
Goday polana gidi immida qaala ammanidaara, iya anjjettidaaro” yaagasu.
46 And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,
Mayraama hayssada yaagasu: “Ta shemppiya Godaa bonchchawusu,
47 and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour.
ta Ayyaanay dhaliya Xoossan ufayttees.
48 For he has looked upon the low estate of his bondmaid; for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
I ba aylle kawushshatethaa be7is. Hachchife doomidi yeletethi ubbay tana anjjettidaaro gaana.
49 For the Mighty One has done to me great things, and holy [is] his name;
Ays giikko, wolqqaama gidida I, taw gitabaa oothis. Iya sunthay Geeshshaa.
50 and his mercy [is] to generations and generations to them that fear him.
Iya bonchcheyssata bolla, iya maarotethay merinaappe merinaa gakkanaassa.
51 He has wrought strength with his arm; he has scattered haughty [ones] in the thought of their heart.
Ba qesiyan minobaa oothis, bantta wozanan otortteyssata laallis.
52 He has put down rulers from thrones, and exalted the lowly.
Wolqqaama kawota araataappe kawushshis; banttana kawushshidayssata kabboys.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things, and sent away the rich empty.
Koshattidayssata lo77oban kalssis, shin dureta mela kushe yeddis.
54 He has helped Israel his servant, in order to remember mercy,
Ba maarota qoppidi, Ba aylliya Isra7eele maaddis.
Hessika nu aawatas odida qaalaa, Abrahamesinne iya sheeshas gidayssa merinaw polanaassa” yaagasu. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her house.
Mayraama Elsabeexi matan heedzu ageena mela gam77ada ba soo simmasu.
57 But the time was fulfilled for Elizabeth that she should bring forth, and she gave birth to a son.
Elsabeexis yelo qammay gakkin adde na7a yelasu.
58 And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard that [the] Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.
I shoorotinne I dabboti Goday gita maarota oothidayssa si7idi, iira issife ufayttidosona.
59 And it came to pass on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called it after the name of his father, Zacharias.
Hosppuntha gallasan yooga na7a qaxxaranaw yidosona. Iya aawa sunthan Zakkariyaasa gidi sunthanaw koyidosona.
60 And his mother answering said, No; but he shall be called John.
Shin aayiya, “Akkay, Yohaannisa geetettanaw bessees” yaagasu.
61 And they said to her, There is no one among thy kinsfolk who is called by this name.
Enttika, “Ne dabbotappe ha sunthan xeegettiday oonikka baawa” yaagidosona.
62 And they made signs to his father as to what he might wish it to be called.
Iya aaway oona gidi sunthaneekko eranaw koyidi iya malla oychchidosona.
63 And having asked for a writing-table, he wrote saying, John is his name. And they all wondered.
I xaafiyabaa oychchi ekkidi, “Iya sunthay Yohaannisa” gidi xaafis. Ubbay I xaafidayssa be7idi malaalettidosona.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake, blessing God.
Iira Zakkariyaasa inxarssay bilettis, Xoossaa galatishe odetethi oykkis.
65 And fear came upon all who dwelt round about them; and in the whole hill-country of Judaea all these things were the subject of conversation.
Shooroti ubbay yashshan kumidosona. Ha hanidabay geze Yihuda biittan odettis.
66 And all who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, What then will this child be? And [the] Lord's hand was with him.
Hessa si7ida ubbay, “Ha na7ay ay hananddeshsha” gidi bantta giddon odettidosona. Godaa kushey iyara de7ees.
67 And Zacharias his father was filled with [the] Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Yohaannisa aaway Zakkariyaasi Geeshsha Ayyaanan kumidi hayssada yaagidi tinbbite odis.
68 Blessed be [the] Lord the God of Israel, because he has visited and wrought redemption for his people,
“Isra7eeliya Goday galatetto, yidi ba asaa wozis.
69 and raised up a horn of deliverance for us in the house of David his servant;
Ba aylliya Dawite keethan atotethaa kaciya denthis.
70 as he spoke by [the] mouth of his holy prophets, who have been since the world began; (aiōn g165)
Hessika beni wode geeshsha nabeta doonan odettidayssa mela, (aiōn g165)
71 deliverance from our enemies and out of the hand of all who hate us;
Iya ashoy nu morkketappenne nuura eqettiya ubbaa kushiyappe.
72 to fulfil mercy with our fathers and remember his holy covenant,
Hessa I oothiday nu aawatas ba maarota bessanaasinne, ba geeshsha caaquwa naaganaassa.
73 [the] oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
Nu aawa Abrahames caaqqida caaquwa qoppanasinne
74 to give us, that, saved out of the hand of our enemies, we should serve him without fear
nu morkketa kusheppe kessidi yashshi baynna iya haggaazana melassa.
75 in piety and righteousness before him all our days.
Nu laytha ubban geeshshatethaninne xillotethan ba sinthan nuna essanaassa.
76 And thou, child, shalt be called [the] prophet of [the] Highest; for thou shalt go before the face of [the] Lord to make ready his ways;
Qassi laa na7aw, neeni Ubbaafe Bolla Xoossaa nabe geetettana. Godaa ogiya loythanaw ne iya sinthan baana.
77 to give knowledge of deliverance to his people by [the] remission of their sins
Entta nagaray qushettin, entti atotethi demmanayssa ne Godaa deriyas odana.
78 on account of [the] bowels of mercy of our God; wherein [the] dayspring from on high has visited us,
Nu Xoossaa lo77o maarotethaafe denddoyssan wontta xalqey nuus saluwappe keyis.
79 to shine upon them who were sitting in darkness and in [the] shadow of death, to guide our feet into [the] way of peace.
Hessika dhumaninne, hayqo kuya garssan de7eyssatas poo7isanaassa, nu tohuwakka saro ogiyakko zaaranaassa” yaagis.
80 — And the child grew and was strengthened in spirit; and he was in the deserts until the day of his shewing to Israel.
Na7ay diccis, Ayyaanan minnis, Isra7eele asaas qonccana gakkanaw bazzo biittan de7is.
