Luke 1
1 Forasmuch as many have undertaken to draw up a relation concerning the matters fully believed among us,
Kote sung ah thu piang te sia mitampi in a ban a ban in at zo a, tua thu tangkona te sia ka up bel uh a hihi,
2 as those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses of and attendants on the Word have delivered them to us,
A kipatcil pan in mitmu tetti te le Pathian kamal naseam te i hong son bang in a ki at a hihi;
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,
A masabel pan in thu theampo a cialcing in he ka hikom, na tung ah a ban a ban in hong at leng pha tu hi, ci ngaisun khi hi, a thupibel Theofilas awng,
4 that thou mightest know the certainty of those things in which thou hast been instructed.
Nangma hong hil sa thu te a kip a kho thei natu in hong at khi hi.
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.
Judah kumpipa Herod hun lai in, Zacharias a kici thiampi khat om a, ama sia Abijah i thiampi pawl sung ah kihel hi: a zi min sia Elizabeth hi a, Aaron suan a hihi.
6 And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Amate ni sia Pathian mai ah mi thutang te hi uh a, thupiak te le biakna ngeina te sia paubang ngawl in a zui te a hi uh hi.
7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.
Amate in ta a nei bua uh hi, banghangziam cile Elizabeth sia ciing hi, taciang amate a ni ma in a kum uh zong ham zo hi.
8 And it came to pass, as he fulfilled his priestly service before God in the order of his course,
Zecharias sia ama pawl te taw a nasep hun cing a Pathian mai ah thiampi nasep a sep laitak in,
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.
Thiampi te nasep ngeina bang in aisan uh a, Zecharias in Topa biakinn sung a tum ciang in ngimnamtui hal tu nasep nei hi.
10 And all the multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense.
Ngimnamtui a hal laitak in mihonpi theampo a puasang ah thungen khawm uh hi.
11 And an angel of [the] Lord appeared to him, standing on the right of the altar of incense.
Topa vantungmi khat a kung ah hong kilang a, ngimnamtui hal na mun biaktau ziatsang ah ding hi.
12 And Zacharias was troubled, seeing [him], and fear fell upon him.
Zechariah in ama a mu ciang in, patau a, a tung ah launa theng hi.
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.
Ahihang vantungmi in, Zechariah: lau heak in, Pathian in na thungetna hong za zo hi, taciang na zi Elizabeth in tapa hing tu a, a min sia John, phuak tu ni hi, ci hi.
14 And he shall be to thee joy and rejoicing, and many shall rejoice at his birth.
Lungdamna le thinnopna nei tu ni hi; a sua ciang in mi tampi te zong lungdam tu uh hi.
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.
Banghangziam cile ama sia Topa mai ah mi thupi hi tu hi, sapittui ahizong, zu ahizong, dawn ngawl tu hi; a nu ngil sung pan ma in Tha Thiangtho taw kidim tu hi.
16 And many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to [the] Lord their God.
Israel mi tampi te zong amate Pathian Topa kung ah heakkiksak tu hi.
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.
Elijah i thaa le vangletna taw Topa mai ah pai tu a, pa te le ta te i thinsung te ahizong, thu ni ngawl te sia mi thuman te i ciimna ah ahizong; Topa atu in mihing te kinging kholsak le ki thoaikholsak tu in heakkiksak tu hi.
18 And Zacharias said to the angel, How shall I know this, for I am an old man, and my wife advanced in years?
Zechariah in vantungmi kung ah, nong son bang in piang takpi tu hi, ci bangbang in he tu khi ziam? banghangziam cile keima sia pasal huai khi hi, taciang ka zi zong huai mama zo hi, ci hi.
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;
Tasiaciang vantungmi in, keima sia Pathian mai ah a ding Gabriel ka hihi; nangma paupui tu le lungdamna thu son tu in hong sawl hi.
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.
Taciang, en in, hi thu te a pian ni dong pau thei ngawl tu ni hi, banghangziam cile amate hun ciang a tangtung tu ka thu na up ngawl hang a hihi, ci in zo hi.
21 And the people were awaiting Zacharias, and they wondered at his delaying in the temple.
Mipi te in Zechariah ngak uh a, biakinn sung ah ngei mama om ahikom in, lamdangsa uh hi.
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.
Biakinn sung pan a pusua ciang in amate tung ah bangma son thei ngawl hi: taciang biakinn sung ah mangmu hi, ci amate in he uh hi: banghangziam cile a khut taw lak a, pau thei tuan ngawl hi.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were completed, he departed to his house.
Thiampi nasep ni te a bo pociang in Zechariah sia a inn ah cia hi.
24 Now after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Tua zawkciang in a zi Elizabeth sia naupai a, tha nga sung bu hi,
25 Thus has [the] Lord done to me in [these] days in which he looked upon [me] to take away my reproach among men.
Tua ahikom Elizabeth in, Topa in keima atu in hi thu hong vawtsak hi, mihing te sung ah zawnsakna ka thuak nate hong laksak tu in Ama in hong ve zo hi, ci hi.
26 But in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent of God to a city of Galilee, of which [the] name [was] Nazareth,
Tha luk a cin ciang in, Pathian in vantungmi Gabriel sia Galilee ngam Nazareth khua ah a om,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name [was] Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name [was] Mary.
Ngaknu thiangtho khat, David suan Joseph taw nupa tu in zuthawl piaksa, Mary kung ah paisak hi.
28 And the angel came in to her, and said, Hail, [thou] favoured one! the Lord [is] with thee: [blessed art thou amongst women].
Vantungmi a kung ah hongpai a, na tung ah thupha om tahen, nangma sia a thupi mama maipha nga na hihi, Topa nang taw hong om hi: numei te sung ah thuphatoai na hihi, ci hi.
29 But she, [seeing] [the angel], was troubled at his word, and reasoned in her mind what this salutation might be.
Ama in vantungmi a mu ciang, a sonthu hang in a thinsung buai a, bangbang paupuina hi tu ziam, ci ngaisun hi.
30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God;
Taciang vantungmi in, Mary awng, lau heak in, banghangziam cile Pathian mai ah maipha nga zo ni hi, ci hi.
31 and behold, thou shalt conceive in the womb and bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
En in, nau na pai tu a, tapa nei tu ni hi, taciang a min sia Jesus phuak tu ni hi, ci hi.
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;
Ama sia mi thupi hi tu a, A sangbel i Tapa, kici tu hi: taciang Topa Pathian in a Pa David i kumpi tokhum pia tu hi:
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)
Ama in Jacob suan te a tawntung in uk tu a; Ama ukna sia tawp hun nei ngawl tu hi. (aiōn g165)
34 But Mary said to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?
Mary in vantungmi kung ah, bangbang piang thei tu ziam, keima in pa taw ki he ngei ngawl khi hi, ci hi.
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.
Vantungmi in zo kik a, Tha Thiangtho na tung ah hong theng tu a, A sangbel i vangletna in hong tuam tu hi: tua ahikom na sung pan in a suak tu tapa thiangtho sia Pathian Tapa kici tu hi, ci hi.
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:
En in, na mealheak Elizbeth, a ciing ci in ngual i son ngei sia a kum ham zawkciang in tapa pai hi: tu in tha luk pha zo hi.
37 for nothing shall be impossible with God.
Banghangziam cile, Pathian taw a piang thei ngawl bangma om ngawl tu hi.
38 And Mary said, Behold the bondmaid of [the] Lord; be it to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
Mary in, keima sia Topa i sal nu ka hihi; ka tung ah na ci bang in hi tahen, ci hi. Taciang vantungmi a kung pan in paikhia hi.
39 And Mary, rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah,
Tua hun in, Mary ding a, Judah ngam huam mualtung khua ah manlangtak in pai hi;
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth.
Zechariah innsung ah tum a, Elizabeth paupui hi.
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,
Taciang, Elizabeth in Mary paupuina a zak ciang in a ngil sung ah nauno tawn hi; taciang Elizabeth sia Tha Thiangtho taw kidim a:
42 and cried out with a loud voice and said, Blessed [art] thou amongst women, and blessed the fruit of thy womb.
Aw ngingtak taw, nangma sia numei te sung pan thuphatoai na hihi, taciang na ngilsung a om nauno zong thuphatoai a hihi.
43 And whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Bangbang in ka Topa i nu sia kei kung ah hongpai ziam?
44 For behold, as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped with joy in my womb.
Banghangziam cile, en in, nong paupui na aw ka zak pociang, ka ngil sung ah nauno sia lungdamna taw tawn hi.
45 And blessed [is] she that has believed, for there shall be a fulfilment of the things spoken to her from [the] Lord.
A um nu sia thuphatoai a hihi: banghangziam cile tua thu te sia Topa in ama a son bang in vawt tu hi, ci hi.
46 And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,
Mary in, ka nuntakna in Topa lamsang hi,
47 and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Keima hong Ngum Pathian tung ah ka thaa a lungdam hi.
48 For he has looked upon the low estate of his bondmaid; for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Banghangziam cile, nunniam kei a salnu hong ve hi: en vun, tu pan kipan in khangkhat zawk khangkhat, thuphatoai nu, hong kici tu hi.
49 For the Mighty One has done to me great things, and holy [is] his name;
Banghangziam cile a vanglian Pathian in keima atu in a thupi mama te vawt zo hi; taciang a min thiangtho hi.
50 and his mercy [is] to generations and generations to them that fear him.
A hesuakna sia ama a zakta te tung ah khangkhat zawk khangkhat om tawntung hi.
51 He has wrought strength with his arm; he has scattered haughty [ones] in the thought of their heart.
Ama in a ban taw thahatna hong lak zo a; a ki phasak te thinsung ngaisutna zong ki thethangsak siat zo hi.
52 He has put down rulers from thrones, and exalted the lowly.
Ama in a vanglian te amate tokhum pan in a nuai ah khiasuk zo a, mi nunniam te domto zo hi.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things, and sent away the rich empty.
Ama in a ngilkial te thupha te taw ngilvasak zo a; a hau te khut hawm taw ki heamsak hi.
54 He has helped Israel his servant, in order to remember mercy,
Ama in a hesuakna phawk tawntung in a sal Israel hu zo hi;
I pu i pa te kung ah a sonsa bangma in, Abraham le a suan te hu hi, ci hi. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her house.
Taciang Mary sia Elizabeth kung ah tha thum sung om a, ama inn ah ciakik hi.
57 But the time was fulfilled for Elizabeth that she should bring forth, and she gave birth to a son.
Elizabeth nau sua tu hun a cin ciang in tapa nei hi.
58 And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard that [the] Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.
Elizabeth kung ah Topa hesuakna lianpi kilang ci a innpam te le a mealheak te in a zak uh ciang in lungdampui tek mama uh hi.
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.
Nausen ni liat a cin ciang in vunteap tan tu in hongpai a, a pa min zui in, Zechariah, ci uh hi.
60 And his mother answering said, No; but he shall be called John.
A nu in, hi ngawl hi; a min John kici tu hi, ci in zo hi.
61 And they said to her, There is no one among thy kinsfolk who is called by this name.
Amate in, na phung sung uh ah hibang min nei kuama om ngawl hi, ci uh hi.
62 And they made signs to his father as to what he might wish it to be called.
Taciang amate in a pa khut taw lak uh a, bangbang ci nuam ni ziam, ci dong uh hi.
63 And having asked for a writing-table, he wrote saying, John is his name. And they all wondered.
Zechariah in lai at natu ngen a, a min sia John hi, ci at hi. Taciang a vekpi in lamdangsa mama uh hi.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake, blessing God.
Taciang thatkhatthu in a kam ki hong in a lei hong suakta kik ahikom, pau in Pathian pok hi.
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.
A kim a om theampo tung ah lau na hong theng a; tua thu sia Judah kual mualtung khuano theampo ah ki zel hi.
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.
Tua thu a za theampo in amate thinsung tek ah keam uh a, hisia bangbang nausen hi peuma tu ziam! ci tek uh hi. Taciang Topa khut sia Ama tung ah om hi.
67 And Zacharias his father was filled with [the] Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
John i pa Zechariah sia Tha Thiangtho taw kidim hi, taciang maisang thu a pualak na ah,
68 Blessed be [the] Lord the God of Israel, because he has visited and wrought redemption for his people,
Israel te Topa Pathian minthang tahen; banghangziam cile a mite ve in hun zo hi,
69 and raised up a horn of deliverance for us in the house of David his servant;
Eite atu in ngupna kii sia a sal David inn sung pan in hong suaksak zo hi;
70 as he spoke by [the] mouth of his holy prophets, who have been since the world began; (aiōn g165)
Leitung kipat lai pan in kamsang thiangtho te kam zang in son zo hi: (aiōn g165)
71 deliverance from our enemies and out of the hand of all who hate us;
I ngal te le hong ensan te khutsung pan in eite ngum tu in ahizong;
72 to fulfil mercy with our fathers and remember his holy covenant,
I pu i pa te tung ah vawt tu in thu a ciam sa hesuakna le thuciam thiangtho phawk tawntung tu in ahizong;
73 [the] oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
I pa Abraham tung ah a kiciamna thukham,
74 to give us, that, saved out of the hand of our enemies, we should serve him without fear
Eite tung ah pia tu le i ngal te khutsung pan in hong suaktasak tu a, lau na om ngawl in,
75 in piety and righteousness before him all our days.
I nuntaksung theampo Ama mai ah thianthona le thutang suana taw Ama na i sep thei natu a hihi.
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;
Taciang nang, nausen, A sangbel i kamsang, hong ci tu hi: banghangziam cile Topa mai ah a lampi puakhol tu in pai tu hi;
77 to give knowledge of deliverance to his people by [the] remission of their sins
A mite tung ah, amate mawna pan in mawmaisak na tungtawn in ngupna thu hesak tu in,
78 on account of [the] bowels of mercy of our God; wherein [the] dayspring from on high has visited us,
I Pathian i a neam thuthiamna tungtawn in; van pan zing nisuak bang in hong ve zo hi,
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.
Khuazing le thi na lim sung ah a to te khuavak pia tu le eite i peang te thinnopna lampi ah hong makai tu hi, ci hi.
80 — And the child grew and was strengthened in spirit; and he was in the deserts until the day of his shewing to Israel.
Nausen sia khang a, thaa lam ah thahat hi, Israel te kung ah a kilaak mateng duisung ah om hi.
