Luke 1
1 Given that many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those things that really did take place among us,
Bhandu bhabhagwinjinji bhashilajililanga kujandika ukoto ngani ja indu yatendekaga munkumbi gwetu.
2 just as those who became eyewitnesses, from the beginning, and ministers of the Word delivered them to us,
Bhashinkujandikanga malinga shitwatagulilwe na bhandunji bhagabhweninji pugatendekaga, kuumila kundandubho na bhalunguyangaga lilobhe lya a Nnungu.
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,
Kwa nneyo, mmakulungwa a Teopili, numbe nne ngakagulileje ukoto yowe kuumila kundandubho, njibhona inapwaa ninnjandishile shiyashite tendeka,
4 so that you may know the certainty of the things in which you were instructed.
nkupinga na mmwe muumanye ukweli gwa yowe innjigenywe ila.
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.
Mobha ga upalume gwa a Elode ku Yudea, bhashinkupagwa bhaabhishila bhamo lina lyabho a Shakalia, bha likundi lya a Abhiya. Akongobhabho pubhashemwaga a Lishabheti bha shipinga sha a Aluni, bhakulungwa bhaabhishila.
6 They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
Bhowe bhanaabhili bhashinkubhanganga bhandunji bha aki kwa a Nnungu, bhalikagulilanga amuli na malajilo ga Bhakulungwa gwangali kugambwa.
7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren; and they both were well advanced in years.
Ikabheje bhakakwetenjeje bhana, pabha a Lishabheti pubhaaliji nannii na bhanaabhili pubhalinginji bhakongopanji kaje.
8 Now it happened, as he was officiating as priest before God in the order of his division,
Lyubha limo lya nnimbu gwa liengo lya bhishila gwa a Shakalia nniekalu,
9 according to the custom of the priesthood, that his lot was to burn incense, upon entering the sanctuary of the Lord;
malinga shigwaliji nkubho gwabhonji, a Shakalia bhashinkuagulwa kwa shikoma, bhajinjile nniekalu bhakatutumye lubhani.
10 and the whole multitude of the people was praying outside at the hour of incense.
Akuno lugwinjili lowe lwa bhandu pubhalinginji palanga bhalikwaajuganga a Nnungu, malanga ga tutumya lubhani.
11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense;
Malaika jwa Bhakulungwa akwaakoposhelaga, gwabhajimile nkono nnilo gwa shitala sha tutumishiya lubhani.
12 and upon seeing him Zacharias was shaken, and a fear fell upon him.
A Shakalia bhakammoneje malaika jwa a Nnungu jula gubhatengwishe na jogopa.
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.
Malaika jwa a Nnungu jula gwabhalugulile, “A Shakalia, nnajogope pabha kujuga kwenu kupilikenwe, na akongobhenu a Lishabheti, shibhankolele mwana jwannume, na mmwe shimunsheme lina lyakwe a Yowana.”
14 And you will have joy and exultation, and many will rejoice over his birth.
“Mpinga kwiinonyela kwa kaje na bhandu bhabhagwinji bhapinga angalilanga kubhelekwa kwakwe.
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.
Shabhe jwankulungwa pa meyo ga Bhakulungwa, akapinjikwa kung'wa togwa wala ukana, apinga gumbaywa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, kuumila nnutumbo lwa akwabhe.
16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God;
Shaabhatendebhuyanje bha Ishilaeli bhabhagwinji bhaabhujilanje Bhakulungwa a Nnungu bhabhonji.
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.”
Shaalongolele pa meyo ga Bhakulungwa alikomboywa na mbumu na mashili malinga a Eliya. Apinga lundanya mitima ja ashainamundu na bhana bhabhonji, apinga kwaatendanga bhakakwaakundanga a Nnungu kubha na ng'aniyo ya aki, nkupinga abhaalashiye Bhakulungwa bhandunji shibhabhanganje tayali kwaaposhela.”
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.”
A Shakalia gubhammushiye malaika jula, “Yeneyo nne pushiniimanye bhuli? Nne nankongopa na akangu na bhalabho bhakongopele.”
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.
Malaika jwa a Nnungu gwabhalugulile, “Nne Gabhulieli, ntumishi ngujima pameyo ga a Nnungu, njitumwa kumelekete na mmwe, nintashiye jene ngani ja mmboneji.
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.”
Pabha mmangakulupalila gapinga koposhela kwa malanga gakwega, shimme bhubhu, nkakombola kubheleketa mpaka lyubha pushigakoposhele gunimmalanjilega.”
21 Now the people were waiting for Zacharias and wondering at his delay in the sanctuary.
Penepo bhandu bhaalindililangaga a Shakalia gubhakanganigwenje kwa nndi bhashikabhiya Nniekalu mula.
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.
Bhakakoposheje palanga bhakakombweleje kubheleketa nabhonji. Gubhamumanyinji kuti ipali ibhaiweni Nniekalu mula. Ikabheje gubhapundile bheleketa nabhonji kwa ilangulo ya makono, pabha bhashinkubha bhubhu.
23 And so, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he took off for home.
Nnimbu gwabho gwa liengo lya bhishila ukamaleje, a Shakaliya gubhabhujile kumui.
24 Well after those days his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and stayed in seclusion five months. She kept saying,
Pangakabhika a Lishabheti gubhajukwite shitumbo. Gubhatemi pamui miyei nng'ano.
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!”
Bhalinkuti, “Nnei ni shibhandendele Bhakulungwa bhakamoneje, bhashinjosheya oni jangu, jinakolaga pa meyo ga bhandunji.”
26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee named Natsareth,
Mwei gwa shita gwa shitumbo sha a Lishabheti, malaika jwa a Nnungu Gabhulieli ashinkutumwa na a Nnungu ajende ku Nashaleti ja ku Galilaya,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; the virgin's name was Mary.
kwa a mwali bhaishana bhashemwaga a Malia, ntemela gwa a Yoshepu bha shipinga sha a Daudi.
28 So upon entering where she was the angel said, “Rejoice, recipient of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”
Malaika jula gwabhajendele, nikwaabhalanjila, “Shalamu shenu mmwe a Malia! Nshipegwa nema yaigwinji! Bhakulungwa pubhali na mmwe.”
29 But upon seeing him she was perplexed at his word and was trying to figure out what sort of greeting it might be.
A Malia bhakapilikaneje gene malobhego gubhatengwishe kaje, nikwiibhuya sha muntima, shene shalamushi malombolelo gakwe nndi?
30 The angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, because you have found favor with God.
Malaika jula gwabhalugulile, “Nnajogope a Malia, pabha Bhakulungwa bhashikumpa nema.
31 Now then, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS.
Pilikana! Shinnjukute shitumbo, na shinkole mwana jwannume na munsheme lina lyakwe Yeshu.
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,
Jwenejo apingabha jwankulungwa na shashemwe Mwana jwa bhali Kunani Kaje. Bhakulungwa a Nnungu shibhampe shitengu sha upalume sha anaigwe a Daudi.
33 and He will reign over the house of Jacob into the ages; indeed, of His kingdom there will be no end!” (aiōn g165)
Kwa nneyo shabhe Nkulungwa jwa shipinga sha a Yakobho pitipiti na upalume gwakwe ukakola mpelo.” (aiōn g165)
34 So Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be, since I do not know a man?”
A Malia gubhammushiye malaika, “Pushiitendeshe yeneyo bhuli, na nne niibhelele mwali nng'ishana nganabhe kummanya jwannume?”
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’!
Malaika jula gwajangwile, “Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo shannjiile na mashili ga Bhakulungwa a Nnungu shiganng'unishile mbuti shiwili, kwa nneyo, mwana shabhelekwejo, shashemwe jwa Ukonjelo, Mwana jwa a Nnungu.
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;
Na mmumanye kuti nkali alongo ajenu a Lishabheti na ukongopa gwabho bhajukwite shitumbo sha mwana jwannume, aguno mwei gwabho gwa nng'ano na gumo kwa bhene bhamanyishe na bhandu kuti anannii.
37 because any word spoken by God will be possible.”
Pabha shakwa shikaakomboleka kwa a Nnungu.”
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.
A Malia gubhashite, “Nne nantumwa jwa Bhakulungwa, ibhe malinga shiumalanjile.” Bhai malaika jula gwajabhwile.
39 Then Mary quickly got ready and went into the hill country in those days, to a town of Judah,
Gakapiteje malanga gashoko, a Malia gubhapite shangu ku shilambo shimo sha kuitumbi ya ku Yudea.
40 and entered the house of Zacharias and saluted Elizabeth.
Kweneko gubhajinjile nnyumba ja a Shakalia, nikwaalamushila a Lishabheti.
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.
A Lishabheti bhakapilikaneje lamushilwa na a Malia, shitumbo sha a Lishabheti shikutukulaga nkwiinonyela. Na bhalabho a Lishabheti Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo akwaagumbalaga,
42 And she cried out with a great voice and said: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the Fruit of your womb!
nigubhabhelekete kwa lilobhe lya utiya, “Nshipegwa mboka kupunda bhanabhakongwe bhowe, na mwana junkupinga kunkolajo ashipegwa mboka.
43 Why am I so favored that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Kwa bhuli nne njikuywa nnei, nkali anyinamundu bha Bhakulungwa bhangu bhang'owele?
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.
Nnole! Ngapilikanejepe kulamushila kwenu, shitumbo shangu shikutukulaga nkwiinonyela.
45 Blessed is she who believed, because there will be a fulfillment of the things that have been spoken to her from the Lord.”
Mbaya mmwe nkulupalile kuti yene immalanjilwe na Bhakulungwa ila shiitendeshe.”
46 So Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,
Na bhalabho a Malia gubhashite, “Ntima gwangu unakwaakuya Bhakulungwa,
47 and my spirit has exulted over God my Savior,
Na mbumu yangu inakwiinonyela ligongo lya a Nnungu Bhaatapula bhangu.
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,
Pabha bhashikuubhona ungakola mashili uka ntumishi jwabho. Kwa nneyo kuumila nnaino ibheleko yowe shibhanjemanje akwete mboka,
49 in that the Mighty One did sublime things for me, and Holy is His name.
Pabha a Nnungu Bhakwete Mashili, bhashindendela gamakulungwa. Na lina lyabho ni bha ukonjelo.
50 His mercy is for generations of generations to those fearing Him.
Bhenebho bhanakwaabhonelanga shiya bhene bhakwaajogopanga bhala, kuumila lubheleko mpaka lubheleko.
51 He has done mighty deeds with His arm; He has dispersed the arrogant in the reasoning of their hearts.
Pabha kwa mashili ga nkono gwabho bhashitenda gamakulungwa. Bhashikwapwilinganyanga bhakwetenje mbwinya mmitima jabhonji,
52 He has dethroned rulers and exalted the lowly.
Bhashikwaatuluyanga bhapalume mwitengu yabhonji ya upalume, Nikwaakweyanga bhaitimalikenje.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty.
Bhakwetenje shibhanga bhashikwaatendanga bhajukutanje ya mmbone, Ikabhe matajili bhashikwaalekanga bhapwilingane gwangali shoshowe.
54 He has taken the part of His servant Israel, in remembrance of mercy,
Bhashikunnjangutila ntumishi jwabho Ishilaeli, Bhalikumbushila miadi ja kummonela shiya.
Kwa a Bhulaimu na lubheleko lwabho pitipiti, Malinga shibhaabhalanjilenje bhanangulungwa bhetu.” (aiōn g165)
56 So Mary stayed with her about three months, and returned to her house.
A Malia nigubhatemi na a Lishabheti malinga myei jitatu, nigubhabhujile kunngwabho.
57 Now the time for Elizabeth to give birth was completed and she bore a son.
Mobha ga kwigopola a Lishabheti gakaishileje, gubhaigopwele mwana jwannume.
58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had used His great mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.
Ashaatami ajabho na ashaalongo ajabho bhakapilikananjeje, kuti Bhakulungwa bhaabhonele shiya sha kaje a Lishabheti, gubhaengelelenje pamo na bhenebho.
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.
Lyubha lya nane gubhaikengenenje kukuntaga mwana unyago, nigubhapinjilenje kumpa lina lya ainagwe, Shakalia.
60 His mother reacted and said, “Absolutely not; he shall be called John!”
Ikabheje akwabhe nigubhakanile, bhalinkuti, “Nngabha, ikabhe shashemwe a Yowana.”
61 So they said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”
Gubhaalugulilenje, “Pakuti jwakwa mundu muulongo gwenu ashemwa lyene linalyo!”
62 So they started motioning to his father, as to what he would have him called.
Bhai gubhaabhushiyenje ainagwe kwa ilangulo ya makono bhamumanyanje lina lyashi libhapinga kumpa mwanagwabho.
63 Asking for a writing tablet he wrote this: “His name is to be John!” They all marveled.
Numbe a Shakalia gubhajujile shibhao sha jandika, gubhajandishe nnei, “Lina lyakwe a Yowana.” Gubhakanganigwenje bhowe.
64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue freed and he started to speak, blessing God.
Popo pepo a Shakalia, gubhakombwele kubheleketa kabhili, bhalinkwaakuya a Nnungu.
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.
Ashaatami ajabho bhowe gubhajogopenje, na bhandu bhowe bhatendaga kungulushilanga jene nganijo mmbali yowe ya shilambo sha mwiitumbi ya ku Yudea.
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.)
Bhowe bhapilikenenje genego, gubhaganishiyenje mmitima jabhonji nikwiibhuya, “Igala jwene mwanaju apingabha mundu jwashi?” Pabha nkono gwa Bhakulungwa pugwaaliji naka jwenejo.
67 Now his father Zacharias was filled with Holy Spirit and prophesied saying:
A Shakalia, ainagwe mwana, gubhagumbeywe naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, gubhalondwele nnei,
68 “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and provided redemption for His people;
“Bhapegwe mboka Bhakulungwa a Nnungu bha Ishilaeli, Pabha bhashikwiya kukwagombolanga bhandu bhabho.
69 and has raised up a horn of deliverance for us in the house of His servant David
Bhashikutupa Nkutapula jwa makangala, Jwa uukulu gwa a Daudi bhatumishi bhabho.
Bhabhelenje kuumila bhukala Kupitila bhaalondola bhabho bha Ukonjelo, (aiōn g165)
71 deliverance from our enemies and out of the hand of all who hate us;
Kuti shibhatutapule mmakono ga ashaamagongo ajetu Na bhowe bhakutushimanga.
72 to use mercy with our fathers, even to remember His Holy covenant,
Pubhashite kuti shibhaabhonelanje shiya bhanangulungwa bhetu, Na shibhakumbushile malagano gabho ga Ukonjelo.
73 the oath that He swore to our father Abraham;
Bhashinkulumbila kwa ambuje a Bhulaimu, Kuti shibhatutende uwe
74 to grant to us (having been rescued from the hand of our enemies) to serve Him without fear,
Tugombolwe mmakono ga ashaamagongo ajetu, Kupinga twatindibhalile gwangali lipamba,
75 in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.
Kwa Ukonjelo na aki Mobha getu gowe.
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,
Na ugwe mwanangu, shushemwe, nkulondola jwa Bhakulungwa a Nnungu. Shugwaalongolele Bhakulungwa kukwaalashiya mpanda gwabho,
77 to give a knowledge of salvation to His people by the forgiveness of their sins,
Kwaalungushiyanga bhandu bhabho kuti, shibhatapulwanje Kwa leshelelwa yambi yabhonji.
78 through the merciful compassions of our God, with which the divine Dawn has contemplated us,
A Nnungu bhetu shibhatutendele nneyo kwa ligongo lya potekwa ntima na shiya shabho, Na Ntapulo gwabho shiututulushile kukopoka kunnungu malinga nshenje,
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.”
Kupinga kwaamulishilanga bhowe bhatemingenenje nnubhindu lwa shiwo, Bhatulongoye ndamo yetu tutame kwa ulele.”
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.
Mwana gwakulile na gwapundile kukola mashili muntima. Gwatemi kuanga mpaka lyubha lyailangwile ku bhandu bha Ishilaeli.
