Luke 1
1 Given that many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those things that really did take place among us,
Kanao maro ty nandrambe am-pitàñe handahatse talily amo raha atokisantikañeo
2 just as those who became eyewitnesses, from the beginning, and ministers of the Word delivered them to us,
manahake ty nitaroña’ iareo ama’ay, ie nivalolombeloñe boak’am-baloha’e nimpitoroñe i tsaray ama’ay,
3 it seemed good to me also, most excellent Theophilus, having taken careful note of everything from Above, to write to you with precision and in sequence,
le satriko ka, ie hinotsohotsoko boak’ am-baloha’e i hene rezay, ty hanokitse talily soa filahatse ho azo, ry roandria Teofilo,
4 so that you may know the certainty of the things in which you were instructed.
hahafohina’o ty hatò’ i tsara nañohañe azoy.
5 In the days of Herod, the king of Judea, there was a certain priest named Zacharias, of the priestly division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron and her name was Elizabeth.
Teo tañ’andro’ i Heroda mpanjaka’ Iehodà, ty mpisoroñe atao Zakaria, am-pirimboña’ i Abia; boak’ amo anak’ ampela’ i Aroneo ty tañanjomba’e, i Elizabeta ty tahina’e.
6 They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
Songa vantañe añatrefan’ Añahare iereo roroe; tsy amam-pitsikoañe ty fañaveloa’iareo amo lily naho fepè’ Iehovào.
7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren; and they both were well advanced in years.
Tsy nanañ’ anake fa betsiterake t’i Elizabeta vaho sambe nigain-kantetse ie roroe.
8 Now it happened, as he was officiating as priest before God in the order of his division,
Aa ie nitoroñe ami’ty naham-pisoroñe aze añatrefan’Añahare ami’ty fifandimbezam-pirimboña’e t’i Zakaria;
9 according to the custom of the priesthood, that his lot was to burn incense, upon entering the sanctuary of the Lord;
le amy lilim-pisoroñañey, nitsatok’ ama’e ty hañemboke, le nimoak’ an-kibohon’ Añahare ao,
10 and the whole multitude of the people was praying outside at the hour of incense.
vaho hene nilolok’ alafe’e ao i màroy amy fotoam-pañembohañey.
11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense;
Nisodeha ama’e amy zao ty anjeli’ i Talè, nijohañe an-kavana’ i kitrelim-pañembohañey.
12 and upon seeing him Zacharias was shaken, and a fear fell upon him.
Nianifañe t’i Zakaria te nahaoniñe, nihohokòhoke, vaho nidoiña’ ty firevendreveñañe.
13 But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, because your prayer was heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
Le hoe ty asa’ i anjeliy tama’e; Ko hemban-drehe Zakaria fa jinanjiñe i halali’oy le hisama-dahy ama’o t’i Elizabeta tañanjomba’o vaho toñono ty hoe Jaona ty añara’e.
14 And you will have joy and exultation, and many will rejoice over his birth.
Ho fale naho ehake irehe vaho maro ty hirebek’ amy hisamaha’ey,
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; he must not drink either wine or strong drink; indeed, he will be filled with Holy Spirit already from his mother's womb.
amy t’ie ho ra’elahy añatrefa’ Iehovà, naho tsy hinon-divay ndra toake, vaho ie mbe an-kovin-drene’e ao ro ho lifore’ i Arofo Masiñey.
16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God;
Maro amo ana’ Israeleo ty hampitolihe’e amy Iehovà Andrianañahare’ey.
17 in fact he himself will go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of fathers to children’ and the disobedient to the mindset of the righteous, to prepare a people made ready for the Lord.”
Ie hañavelo añatrefa’eo ami’ty arofo naho haozara’ i Elia, hampitolihe’e amo anakeo ty tron-droae naho mb’ami’ty fahihira’ o vantañeo o manjehatseo, hampihentseñe ondaty veka’e ho a Iehovà.
18 But Zacharias said to the angel: “How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.”
Aa hoe t’i Zakaria tamy anjeliy; Aia ty haharendrehako t’ie to? Bey iraho naho migain-kantetse ka ty valiko.
19 So in answer the angel said to him: “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God; I was sent to speak to you and bring you this good news.
Tinoi’ i anjeliy ty hoe, Izaho n’o Gabriele mpijohañe añatrefan’ Añahareo; niraheñe hivolañ’ ama’o, hitaroñe o talili-soa zao.
20 Now look, you will be silent and not able to speak until the day in which these things happen, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”
Fe inao! ho moan-drehe, tsy hahasaontsy ampara’ t’ie tafetetse, ami’te tsy natokisa’o o volakoo, ie ho heneke amy nifantañañey.
21 Now the people were waiting for Zacharias and wondering at his delay in the sanctuary.
Nandiñe i Zakaria ondatio, nilatsa t’ie tambatse amy toetse miavakey ao.
22 But when he came out he was unable to speak to them, and they understood that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary—he kept gesturing to them while remaining mute.
Ie niavotse, le tsy nahasaontsy am’ iereo naho nioni’ iereo te niboahan-draha añ’ anjomba miavak’ ao, ie nanondrotondro am’iareo, fa le lia’e nimoañe.
23 And so, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he took off for home.
Ie amy zao, naho niheneke o andro fitoroña’eo, le nimpoly mb’añ’ anjomba’e añe.
24 Well after those days his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and stayed in seclusion five months. She kept saying,
Añe i andro rezay le niareñe t’i Elizabeta, vali’e, vaho nipalitse lime volañe, fa hoe ty asa’e:
25 “So that's what the Lord has done for me in the days when He concerned Himself to take away my reproach among the people!”
Zao ty nanoe’ Iehovà amako amy andro nivazoho’ey, hañafaha’e amako ty sirika’ondatio.
26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee named Natsareth,
Ie amy fah’enembola’ey le niraheñe boak’ aman’Añahare ao t’i Gabriela anjely homb’an-drova atao Nazareta e Galilia añe,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; the virgin's name was Mary.
mb’ami’ty somondrara nifofoe’ t’indaty atao Iosefe, anjomba’ i Davide, Marie ty añara’ i somondraray.
28 So upon entering where she was the angel said, “Rejoice, recipient of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”
Niheo ama’e i anjeliy nanao ty hoe; Akore ry isoheñe! mitahy azo t’Iehovà.
29 But upon seeing him she was perplexed at his word and was trying to figure out what sort of greeting it might be.
Nitsonevotse amy zao re amy tsara’ey, le nitsakore i fañontanea’ey.
30 The angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, because you have found favor with God.
Ko hemban-drehe, Marie, hoe i anjeliy fa nanjò fañisohañe aman’ Añahare.
31 Now then, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS.
Oniño t’ie hiareñ’ an-koviñ’ ao le hisama-dahy, vaho hatao’o Iesoà ty añara’e
32 He will be great, and will be called ‘Son of the Most High’; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David,
Ho fanalolahy re, le ho toñoneñe ty hoe: Ana’ i Andindimoneñey naho hatolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare aze ty fiambesa’ i Davide rae’e;
33 and He will reign over the house of Jacob into the ages; indeed, of His kingdom there will be no end!” (aiōn g165)
le ho fehe’e nainae’e ty anjomba’ Iakobe vaho tsy ho modo i fifehea’ey. (aiōn g165)
34 So Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be, since I do not know a man?”
Le hoe t’i Marie tamy anjeliy; Akore ty hahamete’ izay, izaho tsy mahavany lahy?
35 In answer the angel said to her: “Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will hover over you; precisely for this reason the holy One who is to be born will be called ‘Son of God’!
Aa le hoe ty natoi’ i anjeliy aze; Hitotsak’ ama’o i Arofo Masiñey, hañalok’ azo ty haozara’ i Andindimoneñey; le ho toñoneñe ty hoe, Anan’ Añahare, i Masiñe hasama’oy.
36 Furthermore, your relative Elizabeth, she has actually conceived a son in her old age and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren;
Inao te niaren-dahy ka t’i Elizabeta longo’o ndra te bey; fa enem-bolañe henaneo i natao betsiterakey,
37 because any word spoken by God will be possible.”
Toe tsy eo ty tsy lefen’ Añahare.
38 So Mary said: “Yes, I am the Lord's slave! Let it happen to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
Hoe t’i Marie; Intoy ty anak’ ampata’ Iehovà; lonike te ho amako i sinaontsi’oy. Le nienga aze i anjeliy.
39 Then Mary quickly got ready and went into the hill country in those days, to a town of Judah,
Niongake amy andro rezay t’i Marie, nikapikapike mb’an-tanàñe ambohibohi’ Iehodà mb’eo;
40 and entered the house of Zacharias and saluted Elizabeth.
le nimoak’ añ’ anjomba’ i Zakaria ao vaho nañontane i Elizabeta.
41 Well it happened that as Elizabeth heard Mary's salutation the babe bounced up and down in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with Holy Spirit.
Ie jinanji’ i Elizabeta i fañontanea’ i Mariey, le nivoañe ty ajaja an-tro’e ao; mbore nilifore’ i Arofo Masiñey t’i Elizabeta.
42 And she cried out with a great voice and said: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the Fruit of your womb!
Le ty hoe ty napaza’e; Haha amy ze atao ampela irehe vaho soatata ty anake hasama’o.
43 Why am I so favored that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Ia ka iraho, te nitilihe’ ty rene’ i Talèkoy?
44 Yes indeed, because as the sound of your salutation came into my ears the babe bounced up and down in my womb for joy.
Hete! ie nimoak’ an-tsofiko ao i feom-pañontanea’oy le nisondrakak’an-kaehake ty ajaja an-troko ato.
45 Blessed is she who believed, because there will be a fulfillment of the things that have been spoken to her from the Lord.”
En-droa, haha i niantoke te ho henefeñe ama’e o raha nitsarae’ Iehovày.
46 So Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,
Aa le nanao ty ti-hoe t’i Marie: Mañonjoñe Iehovà ty fiaiko,
47 and my spirit has exulted over God my Savior,
vaho mirebek’ aman’Añahare mpandrombak’ ahy ty troko;
48 in that He paid attention to the humble station of His slave (f). Yes indeed, because from now on all generations will declare me to be highly favored,
Nivazohoe’e ty hasotria’ i anak’ am-pata’ey, Oniño te hanao ahy haha ze hene tariratse henane zao.
49 in that the Mighty One did sublime things for me, and Holy is His name.
Nanao raha fiain-tane amako i Maozatsey—masiñe ty tahina’e.
50 His mercy is for generations of generations to those fearing Him.
Ferenaiña’e pak’an-tariratse an-tariratse o mañeveñe ama’eo.
51 He has done mighty deeds with His arm; He has dispersed the arrogant in the reasoning of their hearts.
Nampiboaha’e haozarañe ty fità’e; naparatsia’e o mpiebotsebotse am-pitsakorean-tro’eo.
52 He has dethroned rulers and exalted the lowly.
Nafotsa’e amo fiambesam-bolo- nahe’eo o fanalolahio, vaho naonjo’e o mpirèkeo.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty.
Nanjàñe’e raha soa o nisalikoo, fe nampolie’e hara’e o mpañalealeo.
54 He has taken the part of His servant Israel, in remembrance of mercy,
Nimbae’e t’Israele mpitoro’e, hahatiahia’e i fiferenaiñañe
nitsarae’e amy Abraàme naho amo tarira’e nainai’eoy, i nampitamà’e an-droaen-tikañey. (aiōn g165)
56 So Mary stayed with her about three months, and returned to her house.
Telo volañe varàñe ty nitoboha’ i Marie ama’e ao vaho nimpoly mb’añ’anjomba’e añe.
57 Now the time for Elizabeth to give birth was completed and she bore a son.
Henek’ amy zao o andro nahatoly i Elizabetao, le nisama-dahy.
58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had used His great mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.
Jinanji’ ondaty mpitrao-tanàñe ama’eo naho o longo’eo t’ie niferenaiña’ Iehovà, le nitrao-kafaleañe ama’e.
59 So it was, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and they started calling him by the name of his father, Zacharias.
Ie ami’ty andro faha-valo, le nasese ho savareñe i ajajay, vaho ho natao’ iereo Zakaria ty añara’e amy te izay ty tahinan-drae’e,
60 His mother reacted and said, “Absolutely not; he shall be called John!”
fa hoe ka ty natoin-drene’e; Aiy! hatao ty hoe Jaona re.
61 So they said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”
Aa hoe ty asa’ iareo tama’e; Leo raik’ aman-drolongo’o tsy nitoñoneñe amy tahinañe zay.
62 So they started motioning to his father, as to what he would have him called.
Le nañatsikatsik’ an-drae’e iereo, ami’ty hoe: Ia ty satri’o hitokavañ’ aze.
63 Asking for a writing tablet he wrote this: “His name is to be John!” They all marveled.
Nipay fanokiran-dre vaho nanokitse ty hoe: I Jaona ty añara’e. Aa le hene nidaba.
64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue freed and he started to speak, blessing God.
Nisokak’ ami’ty manao zao ty falie’e naho nibalake i famele’ey vaho nisaontsy am-pandrengeañe an’ Andrianañahare.
65 (Well a fear came on all who lived around them; and all these sayings kept being talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.
Hene nangebahebake o mpimoneñe nañohoke iareoo, vaho nirehafeñe mb’eo mb’eo ambohibohi’ Iehodà ao irezay.
66 All who heard kept them in their hearts saying, “What then will this child be?” And the hand of the Lord was with him.)
Songa nitsakore ty hoe añ’ arofo ao ze nahaoniñe: Ty ajaja ho akore v’itoio? Le nitahy aze ty fità’ Iehovà.
67 Now his father Zacharias was filled with Holy Spirit and prophesied saying:
Lifotse i Arofo Masiñey amy zao t’i Zakaria rae’e vaho nitoky ty ti-hoe:
68 “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and provided redemption for His people;
Andriañeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, fa nitilihe’e vaho jineba’e ondati’eo.
69 and has raised up a horn of deliverance for us in the house of His servant David
Nampitroara’e tsifam-pandrombahañe tika añ’anjomba’ i Davide mpitoro’e ao,
Nitsara am-palie’ o mpitoky miavakeo i teo nainai’e am-pifotora’ ty voatse toiy, (aiōn g165)
71 deliverance from our enemies and out of the hand of all who hate us;
t’ie ho rombaheñe amo rafelahin- tikañeo, naho am-pità’ o malaiñe an-tikañeo,
72 to use mercy with our fathers, even to remember His Holy covenant,
Hiferenaiña’e o roazan-tikañeo, naho ho tiahi’e i fañina’e miavakey,
73 the oath that He swore to our father Abraham;
i fanta nifantà’e amy Abraàme raentikañey,
74 to grant to us (having been rescued from the hand of our enemies) to serve Him without fear,
t’ie hatolo’e amantikañe, ie fa vinotso’e amo rafelahintikañeo, hitoroñ’ aze tsy an-kahembañañe,
75 in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.
am-piavahañe naho an-kavantañañe añatrefa’e amo hene andro iveloman-tikañeo.
76 And you, child, will be called Prophet of the Most High, because you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways,
Le ihe, anako, ty hatao Mpitoki’ i Andindimoneñey, amy te Ihe ty hiaolo i Talè hañajary ty lala homba’e,
77 to give a knowledge of salvation to His people by the forgiveness of their sins,
hampahaoniñe ondati’eo ty fandrombahañe ie hinahan-kakeo,
78 through the merciful compassions of our God, with which the divine Dawn has contemplated us,
ami’ty fiferenaiñan’ Añaharen-tika— ie nampitilihe’e an-tika i fanjiriha’e boak’ añ’aboy,
79 to give light to those who are sitting in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
Hanolora’e hazavàñe o mpitoboke añ’ieñe ao naho an-talinjon-kavilasio, hiaoloa’e mb’an-dalan-kanintsiñe mb’eo o fandian-tikañeo.
80 So the child kept growing and being strengthened in spirit, and he stayed in uninhabited areas until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
Nitombo i ajajay le nihaozatse an-troke vaho nitoets’am-babangoañe añe ampara’ ty andro niboaha’e am’Israele.
