Luke 1
1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a narration of the things that have been accomplished among us;
Abhanu bafu bhekomesishe okujitonda kisi emisango jinu jakumiye agati yeswe.
2 According as they have delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word:
Lwakutyo eswe chayabhwilwe na bhanu bhajilolele na ameso kwambila kubhwambilo bhali bhakosi bho Omusango gwa Nyamuanga.
3 It seemed good to me also, having diligently attained to all things from the beginning, to write to thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
Kulwejo anye ona, nejile namala okukengela kisi obhwambilo bhwe emisango jona- nalola ati nikisi nikwandikile kubhwitondi bhwajo-Teofilo owechibhalo.
4 That thou mayest know the verity of those words in which thou hast been instructed.
Koleleki utule okumenya echimali che emisango jinu weigisibhwe.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zachary, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.
Munsiku ja Herode omukama wa Yudea, aliga alio omugabisi atogwaga Zakaria, owamulubho lwo obhugabhisi bhwa Abiya; omugasi waye Elizabeti aliga asokole muluganda lwa Haruni.
6 And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and justifications of the Lord without blame.
Abho bhone bhaliga bhali bhalengelesi imbele ya Nyamuanga bhagwatiliye ebhilagilo byona ebhyo Omukama na jindamu jaye.
7 And they had no son, for that Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
Nawe bhaliga bhatana mwana, kulwokubha Elizabethi aliga alimugumba, na bhaliga bhakokoye muno.
8 And it came to pass, when he executed the priestly function in the order of his course before God,
Kakingile akatungu ko olubho lwa Zakaria okubha imbele ya Nyamuanga nakolaga emilimu jobhugabhisi,
9 According to the custom of the priestly office, it was his lot to offer incense, going into the temple of the Lord.
Mbe nibhamusola okwingana lwa kutyo bhasolwaga mumilimu jo obugabhisi, agende mwiyekalu okututa omuchumulilo.
10 And all the multitude of the people was praying without, at the hour of incense.
Katungu nibhatuta omuchumulilo elikofyanya lyaliga lilianja nilisabhwa.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the alter of incense.
Mbe Malaika wo Omukama amufulumukiyeko nemelegulu mukubhoko kwe ebhulyo okwe ebhigabhilo bhokututila.
12 And Zachary seeing him, was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
Ejile Zakaria amulola natinyuka nabhamo nobhubha.
13 But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachary, for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John:
Nawe malaika namubhwila ati, “Wasiga kubhaya Zakaria, kulwokubha lisabhwa lyao lyongwibhwa. Omugasi wao Elijabeti kaja okwibhulila omwana we echilume. Risina lyaye umutoge Yoana.
14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice in his nativity.
Ulikondelwa nokusandabha, na bhanfu bhalikondelelwa ukwibhulwa kwaye.
15 For he shall be great before the Lord; and shall drink no wine nor strong drink: and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.
Kulwokubha alibha mukulu imbele ya meso go Omukama. Atalinywa omulamba gwa majabhibhu amwi echinu chinu echitamisha, na alijusibhwa Mwoyo Mweru kusokelela munda ya nyilamwene.
16 And he shall convert many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.
Alubhasubhya bhanu bhafu bha Isiraeli kumukama Nyamuanga webhwe
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias; that he may turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and the incredulous to the wisdom of the just, to prepare unto the Lord a perfect people.
Alitangata imbele yo obhusu bhwa Lata Bhugenyi kulwo mwoyo na mumanaga ga Eliya. Alikola kutyo koleleki asubye emitima ja abhebhusi kubhana, koleleki bhanyantongwa bhalame mubhwengeso bhwa abhalengelesi. Alikola kutyo okubhemalilisha bhanu bhelabhilwe okusolwa ingulu yaye.”
18 And Zachary said to the angel: Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.
Zakaria nabhwila malaika ati, “Omusango gunu enigumenya kutiki? Kulwokubha anye nakokoye ke emyaka jo omugasi wani ona jabheye myafu muno.”
19 And the angel answering, said to him: I am Gabriel, who stand before God: and am sent to speak to thee, and to bring thee these good tidings.
Malaika nasubhya namubhwila ati, “Anye nanye Gabhulyeli, unu nimeleguyu imbele ya Nyamuanga. Nitumilwe okuja nikubhwile omusango gunu ogwekisi.
20 And behold, thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be able to speak until the day wherein these things shall come to pass, because thou hast not believed my words, which shall be fulfilled in their time.
Mbe lola oubha mujibhi, utakwaika kukingila kulusiku olwo jinu jilikumila. Kulwokubha walemele okwikilisha emisango jani ejojilikumila mukatungu akene.
21 And the people were waiting for Zachary; and they wondered that he tarried so long in the temple.
Mbe abhanu bhaliga bhamulindiliye zakaria. Nibhalugula okulola namala omwanya mulela ali mwiyekalu.
22 And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they understood that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he made signs to them, and remained dumb.
Nawe ejile auluka atatule kwaika nabho. Nibhamenya ati aliga alolele chiroro mwiyekaru.
23 And it came to pass, after the days of his office were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
Nijibha ati ejile amala emilimu jo obhugabhisi nemuka okusubha ika owaye.
24 And after those days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying:
Ejile Zakaria amala okusubha ika okusoka kumilimu jaye eja muyekalu, omugasi waye nagega inda. Mbe namala mesi gatanu obhutasoka ika owaye. Naika ati,
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he hath had regard to take away my reproach among men.
“Linu nilyo Lata Bhugenyi amankolelea ejile ansima koleleki ansosheko jinswalo imbele ya abhanu.”
26 And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
Inda ya Elijabheti yejile yakingya mesi mukaga, Nyamuanga atumile malaika Gabhulieli okugenda mumusi gwa Galilaya gunu ogutogwa Najareti,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
ku muyalajuma unu asandwaga obhuko no mulume natogwa Yusufu. Omumula oyo aliga wamuluganda lwa Daudi, na lisina lyo omuyalajuma aliga natogwa Mariamu.
28 And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Ejile amukingako naika ati, “Uno omu! embe, unu Uyabhilwe libhando enene! Omukama ali amwi nawe.”
29 Who having heard, was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be.
Nawe emisango ja malaika nijimusobhela nalema okumenya obhukesha obhwokulugusha bhunu bhuna nsongaki ku mwene.
30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.
Malaika namubhwila ati “Utobhaya, Mariamu, obha wabhwene ribhando ku Nyamuanga.
31 Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
Rora ougega inda Munda yao no owibhula omwana na lisina ryae oumutoga Yesu. omwene
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father;
alibha mukuru alitogwa omwana wa unu ali inguru muno Lata Bhugenyi Nya Daudi esemwene
33 and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever. And of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
Alikama oruganda lwa Yakobo kajanende no bhukama bhwaye bhutaliwao. (aiōn g165)
34 And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?
Mariamu nabhusya malaika jiribha kutiki okubha nitana murume.
35 And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
Malaika namubhira “moyo mweru alikwijila inguru yao, namanaga unu aliinguru muno Anja inguru yao. ku nokubha omwana unu kebhulwa alitongwa omwana wa Nyamuanga
36 And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren:
Lola, omuili wao Elijabheti ali na inda yo mwana mu bhulame bhae obhwo bhukaluk. Kunu ni kwesi kwa sita kwa inda yae, unu aliga natogwa mugumba.
37 Because no word shall be impossible with God.
Kulwokubha litalio linu elimusinga Nyamuanga.”
38 And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
Maliamu naikati, Lola, anye ndi mukosi we chigasi wa Nyamuanga. Siga jibhe kutyo aikile kwanye emisango jao.”Neya malaika namusiga.
39 And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.
Nio kunsiku ejo Mariamu nagenda bhwangu mu chalo chebhima, mu musi mu nsi ya Yudea.
40 And she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted Elizabeth.
Agendele nengila munyumba ya Jakalia namukesha Elijabheti.
41 And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
Oli yabhonekene ati Elijabheti ejile inkesha ya Maliamu, omwana munda yae nejunga, na Elijabheti nejushwa no mwoyo mwelu.
42 And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
Naikila ingulu kwo bhulaka bhunene,”una libhando agati ya bhagasi bhona, no mwana unu ali munda yao ona abhonekewe.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Jabhakutiki kwanye ati, nyila wa Latabhugenyi jimwiile aje kwanye?
44 For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
Kulwokubha lola, anu nongwo obhulaka bhwo kukeshyanya kwao, omwana munda yani nejunga ku lwokusandabha.
45 And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.
Na abhonekeweomugasi oyo unu ekilisishe ati jakabhonekene jinu jaikilwe jili ja chimali jinu abhwiliwe okusoka ku Latabhugenyi.”
46 And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.
Maliamu naikati, omwoyo gwani ogumukuya Latabhugenyi,
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
No mwoyo gwani gukondelewemu Nyamuanga omukisha wani.
48 Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Kulwokubha amalola kutyo ali mwololoomukosi wae owechigasi. Lola, okwambila woli jinyibhulo jona ejija okumbilikila owamabhando.
49 Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name.
Kulwokubha omwene owobhutulo amakola amgambo manene kwanye, na lisina lyae ni lyelu.
50 And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.
Nechigongo chae chilio okusoka maimbo na maimbo ku bhanu bhanu abhamwikilisha.
51 He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
Olesishe amanaga kwo kubhoko kwae, anyalambuye bhanu bhekushaga ingulu yo bhwiganilisha bhwe mioyo jebhwe.
52 He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble.
Abhatelemusishe ansi abhana bha bhakama okusoka kubhitebhe bhyebhwe ebhyobhukama no kubhakusha bhanu bhaliga bhagailwe.
53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
Abhegusishe bhanu bhaliga bhana omweko gwe bhinu bhyekisi, tali abhanibhi abhabhilimishe bhatali na chinu.
54 He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy:
Asosishe obhusakisi ku Israel omukosi wae, koleleki okwichuka okwolesha echigongo
(lwakutyo aikile ku bhalata bheswe) ku Abrahamu no lwibhulo lwae kajanende.” (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months; and she returned to her own house.
Maliamu ekae na Elijabheti kwa mwanya gwa mesi gasatu kutya nio nasubha ika ewae.
57 Now Elizabeth’s full time of being delivered was come, and she brought forth a son.
Woli omwanya gwaliga gweile ogwa Elijabheti okwibhula omwana wae na nebhula omwana we chilume.
58 And her neighbours and kinsfolks heard that the Lord had shewed his great mercy towards her, and they congratulated with her.
Abhekashanya bhae na bhaili bhae bhonguhywe kutyo Latabhugenyi amwikisishe echigongo kumwene, nibhakondelelwa amwi nage.
59 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called him by his father’s name Zachary.
Woli jasokene ku lusiku lwa nane ati bhejile okumtenda omwana. Jaliga jibheile okumtoga lisina lyae, “Jakaliya,”kwo kulubha lisina lye esemwene,
60 And his mother answering, said: Not so; but he shall be called John.
Tali nyila wae nasubhya naikati,”Payi; kabhilikilwa Yowana.”
61 And they said to her: There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
Nibhamubwilati, atalio na umwi amwi mubhaili bhao unu kabhilikilwa lisinaelyo.”
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
Nibhamukolela echijejekanyo esemwene wae okususanyisha omwene aliga nenda atogwe niga.
63 And demanding a writing table, he wrote, saying: John is his name. And they all wondered.
Esemwene nenda olubao lwo kwandikila, na nandikati,”Lisina lyae ni Yowana.”Bhona nibhalugusibhwa nelyo.
64 And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.
Aonao omunwa gwae nigwiguka no lulimi lwae nilusulumuka. Naloma nakumukusha Nyamuanga.
65 And fear came upon all their neighbours; and all these things were noised abroad over all the hill country of Judea.
Nibhobhaya bhona bhanu bhaliga bhekae ayeyi nabho. Emisango ejo nijiswila muchalo chona echa mabhanga ga Yudeya.
66 And all they that had heard them laid them up in their heart, saying: What an one, think ye, shall this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.
Bhona bhanu bhagonguhye nibhagabhika mumitima jebhwe, nibhaika ati, “Omwana unu ni wakutiki?” Kulwokubha okubhoko kwa Nyamuanga kuliamwi nage.
67 And Zachary his father was filled with the Holy Ghost; and he prophesied, saying:
Esemwene wae Jakaliya ejusibhwe no Mwoyo Mwelu nasosha obhulagi, naikati, Asimwe
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people:
Latabhugenyi, Nyamuanga wa Isilaeli, kulwokubha amasakila na amafulubhendela omwelulo gwa bhanu bhae.
69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, in the house of David his servant:
Amachinamusisha liyembe elyomwelulo mu nyumba yo mukosi wae Daudi, okusoka mubhamwi bho luganda lwo mukosi wae Daudi,
Lwakutyo aikile kwo munwa gwa bhalagi bhae bhanu bhaliga bhalio ku mwanya gwa kala. (aiōn g165)
71 Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us:
Kaja ochikisha okusoka kubhasoko bheswe no kusoka mumabhoko gabhanu bhachiyatile.
72 To perform mercy to our fathers, and to remember his holy testament,
Alikola kutya okwolesha echigongo kubhalata, nokwichuka lilagano lyae lyo bhwelu,
73 The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us,
no mulayi gunu aikile ku lata weswe Aburamu.
74 That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear,
Alaiye okwolesha ati jakatulikene okumukolela Omwene atali na bhubuha, chisanga chamalile okuchungulwa okusoka mumabhoko ga bhasoko bheswe.
75 In holiness and justice before him, all our days.
Mubhwelu no bhulengelesi lmbele yaye munsiku jeswe jona.
76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways:
Yee, aona mwana, oubhilikilwa mulagi wa Unu ali ingulu muno, kulwokubha ouja okugenda mubhusu bhwa Latabhugenyi koleleki okumuchumila injila, okubhamenyesha abhanu kulwokuja kwae,
77 To give knowledge of salvation to his people, unto the remission of their sins:
Okubhamenyesha abhanu bhae ati, bhalichungulwa kwo kwiswalililwa ebhibhibhi bhyebhwe.
78 Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, in which the Orient from on high hath visited us:
Linu libhonekene kulwainsonga ye chigongo cha Nyamuanga weswe, kulwainsonga ati lisubha okusoka ingulu lilichijila,
79 To enlighten them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: to direct our feet into the way of peace.
Okumulikila bhanu bhanu bhekae muchisute na mwilengesi lyo lufu. Kakola kutyo okutangasha amagulu geswe mu njila yo mulembe.”
80 And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit; and was in the deserts until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
Woli, omwana oyo nakula nabha namanaga ge chinyamwoyo na ekae mwibhala kukinga olusiku lwo kubhonekana kwae ku Isilaeli.
