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;
Satria maro no efa nanoratra nandahatra tantara ny amin’ ny zavatra izay efa tanteraka tamintsika tokoa,
2 According as they have delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word:
araka izay efa noraisintsika natolotry ny vavolombelona izay sady nahita maso no efa mpitory ny teny hatramin’ ny voalohany:
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,
dia sitrako koa, rehefa nofotorako tsara ny zavatra rehetra hatramin’ ny niandohany, ny hanoratra izany aminao araka ny filaharany, ry Teofilo tsara indrindra,
4 That thou mayest know the verity of those words in which thou hast been instructed.
mba hahafantaranao tsara fa mafy orina ny teny izay nampianarina anao.
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.
Tamin’ ny andron’ i Heroda, mpanjakan’ i Jodia, nisy mpisorona anankiray atao hoe Zakaria, isan’ ny antokon’ i Abia; ary ny vadiny dia avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Arona, Elizabeta no anarany.
6 And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and justifications of the Lord without blame.
Ary samy marina teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra izy mivady sady nitondra tena tsy nanan-tsiny araka ny didy sy ny fitsipika rehetra nomen’ ny Tompo.
7 And they had no son, for that Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
Ary tsy nanan-janaka izy, fa momba Elizabeta; ary samy efa antitra izy mivady.
8 And it came to pass, when he executed the priestly function in the order of his course before God,
Ary nony nanao raharaham-pisoronana teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra Zakaria araka ny fifandimbiasan’ ny antokony,
9 According to the custom of the priestly office, it was his lot to offer incense, going into the temple of the Lord.
araka ny fanao amin’ ny fisoronana, dia anjarany araka ny filokana ny hiditra ao amin’ ny tempolin’ ny Tompo ka handoro ditin-kazo manitra.
10 And all the multitude of the people was praying without, at the hour of incense.
Ary ny vahoaka rehetra nitoetra teo ivelany nivavaka tamin’ ny ora fandoroana ny ditin-kazo manitra.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the alter of incense.
Ary nisy anjelin’ ny Tompo niseho taminy teo ankavanan’ ny alitara fandoroana ny ditin-kazo manitra.
12 And Zachary seeing him, was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
Ary nony nahita azy Zakaria, dia taitra loatra izy ka raiki-tahotra.
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:
Fa hoy ilay anjely taminy: Aza matahotra, ry Zakaria; fa efa nohenoina ny fangatahanao, ka Elizabeta vadinao dia hiteraka zazalahy aminao, ary Jaona no hataonao anarany.
14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice in his nativity.
Ary ho faly sy ho ravoravo ianao; ary maro no hifaly amin’ ny hahaterahany.
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.
Fa ho lehibe eo anatrehan’ ny Tompo izy ary tsy hisotro divay na toaka sady hofenoina ny Fanahy Masìna hatrany an-kibon-dreniny aza.
16 And he shall convert many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.
Ary maro amin’ ny Zanak’ isiraely no hampodiny amin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny.
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.
Ary izy handeha eo alohany amin’ ny fanahy sy ny herin’ i Elia mba hampody ny fon’ ny ray ho amin’ ny zanaka, ary ny tsy manoa ho amin’ ny fahendren’ ny marina, hamboatra firenena voaomana ho an’ ny Tempo.
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.
Ary hoy Zakaria tamin’ ilay anjely: Inona no hahafantarako izany? fa izaho efa antitra, ary efa antitra koa ny vadiko.
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.
Ary ilay anjely namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Izaho no Gabriela, izay mitsangana eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra; ary nirahina hiteny aminao aho ka hilaza aminao izany teny mahafaly izany.
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.
Koa, indro, ho moana ianao ka tsy hahay miteny ambara-pahatongan’ ny andro hisehoan’ izany zavatra izany, ho valin’ ny tsy ninoanao ny teniko, izay ho tanteraka amin’ ny fotoany.
21 And the people were waiting for Zachary; and they wondered that he tarried so long in the temple.
Ary ny olona dia niandry an’ i Zakaria ka gaga noho izy naharitra ela tao amin’ ny tempoly.
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.
Kanjo rehefa nivoaka izy, dia tsy nahay niteny taminy; ary dia fantatry ny olona fa efa nahita fahitana tao amin’ ny tempoly izy; ary izy nanao baikon’ ny moana taminy, ary dia mbola moana ihany.
23 And it came to pass, after the days of his office were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
Ary rehefa tapitra ny andro nanaovany fanompoam-pivavahana, dia lasa nody tany an-tranony izy.
24 And after those days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying:
Ary taorian’ izany andro izany dia nitoe-jaza Elizabeta vadiny, dia niery dimy volana izy ka nanao hoe:
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he hath had regard to take away my reproach among men.
Izao no nataon’ ny Tompo tamiko tamin’ ny andro izay nitsinjovany hahafa-tondromaso ahy amin’ ny olona.
26 And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
Ary tamin’ ny fahenim-bolana dia nirahin’ Andriamanitra ny anjely Gabriela ho any an-tanàna anankiray any Galilia atao hoe Nazareta,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
ho any amin’ ny virijina anankiray, izay voafofo ho vadin’ ny lehilahy atao hoe Josefa, avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Davida; ary ny anaran’ ny virijina dia Maria.
28 And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Ary nony niditra tao aminy ilay anjely, dia nanao hoe: Arahaba, ry ilay nohasoavina, ny Tompo momba anao.
29 Who having heard, was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be.
Ary taitra loatra izy noho ny teniny ka nieritreritra izay tokony ho hevitr’ izany fiarahabana izany.
30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.
Ary hoy ilay anjely taminy: Aza matahotra, ry Maria, fa efa nahita fitia tamin’ Andriamanitra ianao.
31 Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
Ary, indro, hitoe-jaza ianao ka hiteraka zazalahy, ary ny anarany dia hataonao hoe Jesosy.
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;
Izy ho lehibe ka hatao hoe Zanaky ny Avo Indrindra; ary Jehovah Andriamanitra hanome Azy ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida rainy;
33 and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever. And of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
ary hanjaka amin’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba mandrakizay Izy; ary ny fanjakany tsy hanam-pahataperana. (aiōn g165)
34 And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?
Ary hoy Maria tamin’ ilay anjely: Hanao ahoana re no hahatanteraka izany, fa tsy mahalala lahy aho?
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.
Ary ilay anjely namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Ny Fanahy Masìna ho tonga ao aminao, ary hisy herin’ ny Avo Indrindra hanaloka anao; koa ny Masìna Izay hateraka dia hatao hoe Zanak’ Andriamanitra.
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:
Ary, indro, Elizabeta havanao dia efa mitoe-jaza koa, na dia efa antitra aza; ary efa mandray enina izy izao, izay natao hoe momba.
37 Because no word shall be impossible with God.
Fa tsy hisy tsy ho tanteraka ny teny rehetra ataon’ Andriamanitra.
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.
Dia hoy Maria: Inty ny ankizivavin’ ny Tompo; aoka anie ho tonga amiko araka ny teninao. Dia nandao azy ilay anjely.
39 And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.
Ary Maria niainga tamin’ izany andro izany ka nandeha faingana ho any amin’ ny tany havoana, ho ao an-tanàna anankiray any Joda;
40 And she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted Elizabeth.
ary niditra tao an-tranon’ i Zakaria izy ka niarahaba an’ i Elizabeta.
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:
Ary rehefa ren’ i Elizabeta ny fiarahaban’ i Maria, dia nibitaka ny zaza tao an-kibony; ary nofenoina ny Fanahy Masìna Elizabeta,
42 And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
dia niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery hoe izy: Voatahy samy vehivavy ianao, ary voatahy ny hateraky ny kibonao.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Avy aiza no ahatongavan’ izao amiko, no mba vangian’ ny renin’ ny Tompoko aho?
44 For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
Fa, indro, raha vao ren’ ny sofiko ny feon’ ny fiarahabanao, dia nibitaka noho ny hafaliana ny zaza ao an-kiboko.
45 And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.
Ary sambatra ianao izay nino; fa hefaina izay zavatra nampilazain’ ny Tompo taminao.
46 And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.
Ary hoy Maria: Ny foko mankalaza ny Tompo,
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Ary ny fanahiko efa ravoravo tamin’ Andriamanitra, Mpamonjy ahy;
48 Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Fa efa nijery ny fahambani-toetry ny ankizivaviny Izy. Fa, indro, hatramin’ ny ankehitriny dia hataon’ ny taranaka rehetra ho sambatra aho.
49 Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name.
Fa ny Mahery efa nanao zavatra lehibe tamiko; Ary masìna ny anarany.
50 And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.
Ary ny famindram-pony dia amin’ izay matahotra Azy hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby.
51 He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
Nanao asa lehibe tamin’ ny sandriny Izy; Nampihahaka ny mpiavonavona tamin’ ny fiheveran’ ny fony Izy.
52 He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble.
Nampiala ny lehibe tamin’ ny seza fiandrianany Izy, Ary nanandratra ny ambany kosa.
53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
Ny noana novokisany soa; Fa ny manan-karena kosa nampialainy maina.
54 He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy:
Niahy an’ isiraely mpanompony Izy, fa nahatsiaro ny famindram-pony
(Araka ny voalazany tamin’ ny razantsika), tamin’ i Abrahama sy ny taranany mandrakizay. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months; and she returned to her own house.
Ary Maria nitoetra teo amin’ i Elizabeta tokony ho telo volana vao nody tany an-tranony.
57 Now Elizabeth’s full time of being delivered was come, and she brought forth a son.
Ary tonga ny andro hahaveloman’ i Elizabeta, dia niteraka zazalahy izy.
58 And her neighbours and kinsfolks heard that the Lord had shewed his great mercy towards her, and they congratulated with her.
Ary ny niara-monina taminy sy ny havany nandre fa efa nohalehibiazin’ ny Tompo ny famindram-pony taminy; dia niara-nifaly taminy ireo.
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.
Ary tamin’ ny andro fahavalo dia tonga hamora ny zaza izy, ka efa saiky hataony hoe Zakaria araka ny anaran-drainy ny anarany.
60 And his mother answering, said: Not so; but he shall be called John.
Fa ny reniny namaly ka nanao hoe: Tsy izany, fa hatao hoe Jaona izy.
61 And they said to her: There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
Fa hoy izy ireo taminy: Tsy misy na dia iray akory aza amin’ ny havanao izay manana izany anarana izany.
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
Ary nanao baikon’ ny moana tamin’ ny rainy iry ireo, izay tokony ho tiany hatao anarany.
63 And demanding a writing table, he wrote, saying: John is his name. And they all wondered.
Ary nangataka fàfana izy ka nanoratra hoe: Jaona no anarany. Dia gaga avokoa izy rehetra.
64 And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.
Ary dia nisokatra niaraka tamin’ izay ny vavany, ka afaka niteny ny lelany; dia niteny izy ka nidera an’ Andriamanitra.
65 And fear came upon all their neighbours; and all these things were noised abroad over all the hill country of Judea.
Dia raiki-tahotra izay rehetra niara-monina taminy; ary niely teny amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Jodia rehetra ny lazan’ izany rehetra izany.
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.
Ary izay rehetra nandre dia nandatsaka izany tam-pony ka nanao hoe: Ho zaza hanao ahoana re io? Fa ny tanan’ ny Tompo nomba azy.
67 And Zachary his father was filled with the Holy Ghost; and he prophesied, saying:
Ary dia feno ny Fanahy Masìna Zakaria rainy ka naminany hoe:
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people:
Isaorana anie ny Tompo Andriamanitry ny Isiraely; Fa nitsinjo ny olony Izy ka nanao fanavotana ho azy,
69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, in the house of David his servant:
Ary nanangana tandro-pamonjena ho antsika Amin’ ny taranak’ i Davida mpanompony Izy
(Araka izay nampilazainy ny mpaminaniny masìna hatramin’ ny fahagola), (aiōn g165)
71 Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us:
Dia famonjena antsika amin’ ny fahavalontsika, sy amin’ ny tànan’ izay rehetra mankahala antsika;
72 To perform mercy to our fathers, and to remember his holy testament,
Manefa famindram-po amin’ ny razantsika Izy Sady mahatsiaro ny fanekeny masìna,
73 The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us,
Dia ny fianianana izay nianianany tamin’ i Abrahama razantsika,
74 That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear,
Hanao izay hahazoantsika hanompo Azy tsy amin-tahotra, Satria afaka amin’ ny fahavalontsika isika,
75 In holiness and justice before him, all our days.
Amin’ ny fahamasinana sy ny fahamarinana eo anatrehany amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainantsika.
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:
Ary ianao, ry zaza, dia hatao hoe mpaminanin’ ny Avo Indrindra; Fa hialoha eo anatrehan’ ny Tompo ianao hamboatra ny lalany.
77 To give knowledge of salvation to his people, unto the remission of their sins:
Hanome ny olony ny fahalalam-pamonjena amin’ ny famelana ny helony,
78 Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, in which the Orient from on high hath visited us:
Noho ny halehiben’ ny famindram-pon’ Andriamanitsika, izay hiposahan’ ny mazava avy any amin’ ny avo ho antsika.
79 To enlighten them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: to direct our feet into the way of peace.
Hamirapiratra amin’ izay mipetraka ao amin’ ny maizina sy ao amin’ ny aloky ny fahafatesana, Hanitsy ny diantsika ho amin’ ny lalam-piadanana.
80 And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit; and was in the deserts until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
Ary ny zazakely nitombo ka nihahery tam-panahy; ary nitoetra tany an-efitra izy ambara-pahatongan’ ny andro nisehoany tamin’ ny Isiraely.
