Luke 1
1 Forasmuch as many have undertaken to draw up a relation concerning the matters fully believed among us,
Mamih taengah aka soep tangtae hno kah cilol te muep a thuep tih boelrhai vaengah,
2 as those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses of and attendants on the Word have delivered them to us,
oltak kah tueihyoeih la aka om rhoek neh a tongcuek lamloh loh aka hmu rhep rhoek loh mamih taengah m'paek uh vanbangla,
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,
kai khaw khaeh khaeh boeih ka thuep koep tih hlangcong Theophilu nang taengah daek ham tluep ka poek.
4 that thou mightest know the certainty of those things in which thou hast been instructed.
Te daengah ni hiluepnah ol loh n'thuituen te khaw na ming eh.
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.
Judea manghai Herod tue vaeng ah, Abijah rhoihui khosoih pakhat, a ming ah Zekhariah te om tih Elizabeth aka ming nah Aaron canu te a yuu nah.
6 And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Pathen hmaiah a dueng la bok om rhoi. Boeipa kah rhilam neh olpaek cungkuem dongah cuemthuek la pongpa rhoi.
7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.
Tedae Elizabeth tah cakol la om tih camoe a om kolla a kum khaw patong la bok om rhoi coeng.
8 And it came to pass, as he fulfilled his priestly service before God in the order of his course,
Pathen hmaiah a khosoih vaengkah bangla anih rhoihui te aitlaeng loh a pha.
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.
Khosoih kah khosing bangla, Boeipa kah bawkim khuiah kun tih hmueihphum ham a yo.
10 And all the multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense.
Bo-ul tue vaengah pilnam khuikah aka om rhaengpuei boeih khaw poeng ah thangthui uh.
11 And an angel of [the] Lord appeared to him, standing on the right of the altar of incense.
Te vaengah Boeipa kah puencawn tah a taengah a phoe pah tih bo-ul hmueihtuk kah bantang ah pai.
12 And Zacharias was troubled, seeing [him], and fear fell upon him.
Zekhariah loh a thuen doela a sawt dongah rhihnah loh anih a tlak thil.
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.
Tedae anih te puencawn pakhat loh, “Zekhariah rhih boeh, nang kah rhenbihnah te a hnatun coeng dongah na yuu Elizabeth loh nang ham capa pakhat han cun vetih, a ming te Johan la na khue ni.
14 And he shall be to thee joy and rejoicing, and many shall rejoice at his birth.
Nang ham omngaihnah neh kohoenah la om vetih anih kah rhuirhong dongah boeih omngaih uh ni.
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.
Boeipa hmaiah a len la om vetih, misurtui neh yu te o loengloeng mahpawh. A manu bung khuiah a om vaengah Mueihla Cim neh baetawt ni.
16 And many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to [the] Lord their God.
Israel ca rhoek te a Boeipa Pathen taengla muep a mael puei ni.
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.
Anih tah a hmaiah Elijah kah mueihla neh thaomnah dongah lamhma ni. Pa rhoek kah thinko te ca rhoek taengla, lokhak rhoek te aka dueng lungcueinah dongla mael ni. Rhoekbah tangtae pilnam tah Boeipa ham a hmoel ni,” a ti nah.
18 And Zacharias said to the angel, How shall I know this, for I am an old man, and my wife advanced in years?
Te phoeiah Zekhariah loh puencawn taengah, “Hekah he Ba nen lae ka ming eh? Kai tah patong la ka om coeng tih ka yuu khaw a kum te ham coeng,” a ti nah.
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;
Te dongah puencawn loh anih te a doo tih, “Kai tah Pathen hmaiah aka pai Gabriel ni, nang taengah he rhoek he phong ham neh thui ham n'tueih.
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.
Tedae kai ol te na tangnah pawt dongah he he a soep nah khohnin duela olmueh la na om vetih na cal thai mahpawh ne. Amah tue ah ka ol te soep bit ni,” a ti nah.
21 And the people were awaiting Zacharias, and they wondered at his delaying in the temple.
Te vaengah Zekhariah te aka lamso pilnam a om dongah bawkim khuiah a di te a ngaihmang uh.
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.
Ha thoeng vaengah tah amih te voek thai voel pawh. Te dongah bawkim khuiah a mangthui a hmuh coeng tila a ming uh. Te dongah Zekhriah loh amih taengah a lu a thuk tih olmueh la phat om.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were completed, he departed to his house.
Amah kah thothueng khohnin te a cup la a om phoeiah tah amah im la cet.
24 Now after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Te khohnin phoeiah a yuu Elizabeth te vawn tih amah khaw hla nga thuh uh.
25 Thus has [the] Lord done to me in [these] days in which he looked upon [me] to take away my reproach among men.
“Boeipa loh kai ham hnin at neh a saii tangloeng coeng, te nen ni hlang lakliah kai dogkah hnaelnah te khoe hamla n'hip,” a ti.
26 But in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent of God to a city of Galilee, of which [the] name [was] Nazareth,
Hla rhuk dongah Pathen taeng lamkah puencawn Gabriel te Galilee khopuei, a ming ah Nazareth la a tueih.
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name [was] Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name [was] Mary.
David imkhui kah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Joseph ham te oila a bae pah. Oila ming tah Mary ni.
28 And the angel came in to her, and said, Hail, [thou] favoured one! the Lord [is] with thee: [blessed art thou amongst women].
Te phoeiah huta taengla kun tih, “A lungvat tangtae aw, omngaih lah, Boeipa tah nang taengah om pai,” a ti nah.
29 But she, [seeing] [the angel], was troubled at his word, and reasoned in her mind what this salutation might be.
Tedae Mary te tekah olka dongah konglong ngaihit la om tih te toidalnah loh metla a om eh tila a poek.
30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God;
Puencawn loh anih te, “Mary rhih boeh, Pathen taengkah lungvatnah na dang coeng te.
31 and behold, thou shalt conceive in the womb and bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
Te dongah bungvawn neh na yom tih capa na cun vaengah a ming te Jesuh sui ne.
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;
Anih tah tanglue la om vetih Khohni capa tila a khue ni. Boeipa Pathen loh anih te a napa David kah ngolkhoel te a paek ni.
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)
Jakob im ah kumhal due manghai pawn ni. A ram te khaw bawt ti om mahpawh,” a ti nah. (aiōn g165)
34 But Mary said to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?
Te vaengah Mary loh puencawn taengah, “Hekah he metlam a om eh? tongpa khaw ka ming moenih,” a ti nah.
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.
Te dongah anih te puencawn loh a doo tih, “Mueihla Cim loh nang n'thoeng thil vetih, Khohni kah thaomnah te nang m'muek sak ni. Te dongah na cun te aka cim Pathen Capa tila a khue bal ni.
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:
Te phoeiah namah huiko Elizabeth te a patong soiah, camoe a yom van coeng ke. Te dongah cakol la a khue te tahae ah hla rhuk lo coeng.
37 for nothing shall be impossible with God.
Pathen kah olka boeih long tah a tloel nah moenih,” a ti nah.
38 And Mary said, Behold the bondmaid of [the] Lord; be it to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
Te dongah Mary loh, “Boeipa kah salnu he, na olka bangla kai taengah om saeh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah puencawn tah anih taeng lamloh nong.
39 And Mary, rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah,
Mary tah tekah khohnin ah thoo tih tlang kah Judah kho ah thahluenah neh cet.
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth.
Zekhariah im khuiah kun tih Elizabeth te a voek.
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,
Mary kah toidalnah te Elizabeth loh a yaak vaengah a bung khuikah cahni te soipet tih Elizabeth khaw Mueihla Cim neh baetawt.
42 and cried out with a loud voice and said, Blessed [art] thou amongst women, and blessed the fruit of thy womb.
Te vaengah tamlung neh pang khungdaeng tih, “Nang tah huta rhoek lakliah na yoethen coeng tih, nang bung kah a thaih te a yoethen coeng.
43 And whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Kai aih he metlam nim, ka boeipa kah a manu kai taengla ha pawk tarha he?
44 For behold, as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped with joy in my womb.
Nang kah toidalnah ol te ka hna khuiah a kun vaengah tah, ka bung khuikah cahni loh kohoenah neh soipet he.
45 And blessed [is] she that has believed, for there shall be a fulfilment of the things spoken to her from [the] Lord.
Te dongah Boeipa loh a thui te hmakhahnah om ni tila aka tangnah tah a yoethen,” a ti nah.
46 And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,
Mary long khaw, “Boeipa te ka hinglu loh a oep.
47 and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Ka mueihla tah ka khangkung Pathen dongah hlampan coeng.
48 For he has looked upon the low estate of his bondmaid; for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
A salnu mathoe he a paelki thil coeng dongah tahae lamkah tah cadil boeih loh kai ng'uem uh pawn ni.
49 For the Mighty One has done to me great things, and holy [is] his name;
Kai taengah thaom tloe la a saii dongah, a ming tah cim pai saeh.
50 and his mercy [is] to generations and generations to them that fear him.
A rhennah tah amah aka rhih rhoek kah cadil cahma ham ni.
51 He has wrought strength with his arm; he has scattered haughty [ones] in the thought of their heart.
A ban neh a thaomnah a saii, a thinko kopoek ah buhueng aka pom te a taekyak.
52 He has put down rulers from thrones, and exalted the lowly.
Mangpa rhoek a ngolkhoel lamloh a hlak tih, tlayae rhoek te a pomsang.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things, and sent away the rich empty.
Bungpong rhoek te hno then neh a hah sak tih, khuehtawn rhoek a tlongtlai la a tueih.
54 He has helped Israel his servant, in order to remember mercy,
A rhennah te poek sak hamla a ca Israel te a bom.
A pa rhoek taengah a thui bangla, Abraham neh a tiingan taengah kumhal duela a khueh,” a ti. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her house.
Mary te Elizabeth neh hla thum tluk hmaih a naeh phoeiah amah im la bal.
57 But the time was fulfilled for Elizabeth that she should bring forth, and she gave birth to a son.
Elizabeth te a om tue a pha coeng tih capa a cun.
58 And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard that [the] Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.
Boeipa loh a rhennah te anih taengah a khueh tih, a oep te a huiko neh imben loh a yaak vaengah anih te a omngaih puei uh.
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.
Khohnin hnin rhet a lo vaengah camoe te yahvinrhet ham cet uh. Te vaengah anih te a napa ming Zekhariah la a khue uh.
60 And his mother answering said, No; but he shall be called John.
Tedae a manu loh a doo tih, “Moenih, Johan la a khue ni,” a ti nah.
61 And they said to her, There is no one among thy kinsfolk who is called by this name.
Te vaengah anih taengah, “Hekah ming la a khue te na cako khuiah a om pawt ah,” a ti nauh.
62 And they made signs to his father as to what he might wish it to be called.
Camoe metla khue a ngaih poek tila a napa te a yavaih uh.
63 And having asked for a writing-table, he wrote saying, John is his name. And they all wondered.
Te vaengah cabael a hoe tih a daek hatah, “A ming tah Johan ni,” a ti tih boeih a ngaihmang uh.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake, blessing God.
Te vaengah a hmui, a lai te khaw pahoi a khui pah dongah cal tih Pathen te a uem.
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.
Te vaengah amih tolvael rhoek boeih te rhihnah loh a pai thil. Te dongah hekah olka loh Judah tlang tom te boeih a ngae uh.
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.
Aka ya boeih loh a thinko khuiah a dueh uh tih, “Hekah camoe he metlam nim a om ve?” a ti uh. Tedae Boeipa kah kut loh anih te a om puei.
67 And Zacharias his father was filled with [the] Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
A napa Zekhariah tah Mueihla Cim neh baetawt.
68 Blessed be [the] Lord the God of Israel, because he has visited and wrought redemption for his people,
Te dongah a olphong neh, “A pilnam te a hip tih tlannah a saii dongah, Israel Pathen Boeipa tah uemom pai saeh.
69 and raised up a horn of deliverance for us in the house of David his servant;
A taengom David im khuiah mamih ham khangnah ki a thoh sak.
70 as he spoke by [the] mouth of his holy prophets, who have been since the world began; (aiōn g165)
Khosuen lamloh a tonghma ciim rhoek kah ka dongah a thui vanbangla, (aiōn g165)
71 deliverance from our enemies and out of the hand of all who hate us;
Mamih kah rhal rhoek neh mamih aka hmuhuet rhoek boeih kut lamkah khangnah,
72 to fulfil mercy with our fathers and remember his holy covenant,
a pa rhoek taengah rhennah tueng sak ham neh a paipi ciim te poek sak ham,
73 [the] oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
a pa Abraham taengah olhlo neh a toemngam te mamih paek ham,
74 to give us, that, saved out of the hand of our enemies, we should serve him without fear
amah taengah thothueng hamla rhal kut lamloh hoel n'hlawt coeng.
75 in piety and righteousness before him all our days.
Mamih kah khohnin rhoek boeih te amah hmaiah duengnah neh cimcaihnah ham ni.
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;
Te phoeiah, camoe, nang tah Khohni tonghma la n'khue vetih a longpuei rhoekbah ham Boeipa hmaiah na lamhma ni.
77 to give knowledge of deliverance to his people by [the] remission of their sins
Amih kah tholh khodawkngainah rhangneh a pilnam taengah khangnah mingnah a paek ni.
78 on account of [the] bowels of mercy of our God; wherein [the] dayspring from on high has visited us,
Mamih Pathen kah rhehnah om. Te nen te a sang lamkah khothoeng loh mamih n'hip.
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.
Dueknah mueihlip neh yinnah khuiah aka ngol rhoek ham te a tue vetih, mamih kah kho te ngaimongnah longpuei la hoihaeng ham ni,” a ti.
80 — And the child grew and was strengthened in spirit; and he was in the deserts until the day of his shewing to Israel.
Camoe tah rhoeng tih mueihla ah khaw rhaang. Te dongah Israel taengah a phoenah khohnin duela khosoek ah om.
