Luke 1
1 As you know, many others have attempted to put down in writing the things that have been fulfilled that involve us.
Abhanu bafu bhekomesishe okujitonda kisi emisango jinu jakumiye agati yeswe.
2 They based their accounts on evidence from the earliest eyewitnesses and ministers of the Word,
Lwakutyo eswe chayabhwilwe na bhanu bhajilolele na ameso kwambila kubhwambilo bhali bhakosi bho Omusango gwa Nyamuanga.
3 and so I also decided that since I have followed these things very carefully from the beginning, it would be a good idea to write out an accurate account of all that happened.
Kulwejo anye ona, nejile namala okukengela kisi obhwambilo bhwe emisango jona- nalola ati nikisi nikwandikile kubhwitondi bhwajo-Teofilo owechibhalo.
4 I have done this dear Theophilus so you can be certain that what you were taught is completely reliable.
Koleleki utule okumenya echimali che emisango jinu weigisibhwe.
5 During the time when Herod was king of Judea, there was a priest called Zechariah, who came from the Abijah priestly division. He was married to Elizabeth, who was also descended from Aaron the priest.
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 They both did what was right before God, being careful to follow all the Lord's commandments and regulations.
Abho bhone bhaliga bhali bhalengelesi imbele ya Nyamuanga bhagwatiliye ebhilagilo byona ebhyo Omukama na jindamu jaye.
7 They had no children because Elizabeth wasn't able to have any, and they were both growing old.
Nawe bhaliga bhatana mwana, kulwokubha Elizabethi aliga alimugumba, na bhaliga bhakokoye muno.
8 While Zechariah was serving as a priest before God, on behalf of his priestly division,
Kakingile akatungu ko olubho lwa Zakaria okubha imbele ya Nyamuanga nakolaga emilimu jobhugabhisi,
9 he was chosen by lot according to priestly custom to enter the Temple of the Lord and burn incense.
Mbe nibhamusola okwingana lwa kutyo bhasolwaga mumilimu jo obugabhisi, agende mwiyekalu okututa omuchumulilo.
10 During the time of offering incense a large crowd of people were praying outside.
Katungu nibhatuta omuchumulilo elikofyanya lyaliga lilianja nilisabhwa.
11 An angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing to the right of the altar of incense.
Mbe Malaika wo Omukama amufulumukiyeko nemelegulu mukubhoko kwe ebhulyo okwe ebhigabhilo bhokututila.
12 When Zechariah saw the angel, he was startled and became terrified.
Ejile Zakaria amulola natinyuka nabhamo nobhubha.
13 But the angel told him, “Don't be afraid, Zechariah. Your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call him 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 He will bring you joy and gladness, and many will celebrate his birth.
Ulikondelwa nokusandabha, na bhanfu bhalikondelelwa ukwibhulwa kwaye.
15 He will be great in the sight of the Lord. He will refuse to drink wine or other alcoholic drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he's born.
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 He will turn many Israelites back to the Lord their God.
Alubhasubhya bhanu bhafu bha Isiraeli kumukama Nyamuanga webhwe
17 He will go ahead of the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the fathers back to thinking about their children, and to turn those who are rebellious back to a right understanding—to prepare a people ready for the Lord.”
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 “How can I be sure about this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “I'm an old man, and my wife is getting old too.”
Zakaria nabhwila malaika ati, “Omusango gunu enigumenya kutiki? Kulwokubha anye nakokoye ke emyaka jo omugasi wani ona jabheye myafu muno.”
19 “I am Gabriel,” the angel replied. “I stand in God's presence, and I was sent to speak to you and give you this good news.
Malaika nasubhya namubhwila ati, “Anye nanye Gabhulyeli, unu nimeleguyu imbele ya Nyamuanga. Nitumilwe okuja nikubhwile omusango gunu ogwekisi.
20 But since you didn't believe what I told you, you'll become dumb, unable to speak, until the appointed time when my words come true.”
Mbe lola oubha mujibhi, utakwaika kukingila kulusiku olwo jinu jilikumila. Kulwokubha walemele okwikilisha emisango jani ejojilikumila mukatungu akene.
21 Outside the people were waiting for Zechariah, wondering why he was taking so long in the Temple.
Mbe abhanu bhaliga bhamulindiliye zakaria. Nibhalugula okulola namala omwanya mulela ali mwiyekalu.
22 When eventually he came out, he wasn't able to speak to them. They realized he'd seen a vision in the Temple, for though he could make gestures, he was completely dumb.
Nawe ejile auluka atatule kwaika nabho. Nibhamenya ati aliga alolele chiroro mwiyekaru.
23 After he'd finished his time of service, he went back home.
Nijibha ati ejile amala emilimu jo obhugabhisi nemuka okusubha ika owaye.
24 Some time later his wife Elizabeth became pregnant. She stayed at home for five months.
Ejile Zakaria amala okusubha ika okusoka kumilimu jaye eja muyekalu, omugasi waye nagega inda. Mbe namala mesi gatanu obhutasoka ika owaye. Naika ati,
25 “The Lord has done this for me,” she said, “now that he's taken away my disgrace in the eyes of others.”
“Linu nilyo Lata Bhugenyi amankolelea ejile ansima koleleki ansosheko jinswalo imbele ya abhanu.”
26 In the sixth month of her pregnancy God sent the angel Gabriel to a young girl called Mary who lived in the town of Nazareth in Galilee.
Inda ya Elijabheti yejile yakingya mesi mukaga, Nyamuanga atumile malaika Gabhulieli okugenda mumusi gwa Galilaya gunu ogutogwa Najareti,
27 She was engaged to a man named Joseph.
ku muyalajuma unu asandwaga obhuko no mulume natogwa Yusufu. Omumula oyo aliga wamuluganda lwa Daudi, na lisina lyo omuyalajuma aliga natogwa Mariamu.
28 The angel greeted her. “You are very privileged,” he told her. “The Lord is with you.”
Ejile amukingako naika ati, “Uno omu! embe, unu Uyabhilwe libhando enene! Omukama ali amwi nawe.”
29 Mary was very puzzled at what he said, and wondered what this greeting meant.
Nawe emisango ja malaika nijimusobhela nalema okumenya obhukesha obhwokulugusha bhunu bhuna nsongaki ku mwene.
30 “Don't worry, Mary,” the angel went on, “for God has shown his graciousness to you.
Malaika namubhwila ati “Utobhaya, Mariamu, obha wabhwene ribhando ku Nyamuanga.
31 You will become pregnant and give birth to a son. You shall call him Jesus.
Rora ougega inda Munda yao no owibhula omwana na lisina ryae oumutoga Yesu. omwene
32 He will be very great, and he will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of David his father,
alibha mukuru alitogwa omwana wa unu ali inguru muno Lata Bhugenyi Nya Daudi esemwene
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. His kingdom will never come to an end.” (aiōn g165)
Alikama oruganda lwa Yakobo kajanende no bhukama bhwaye bhutaliwao. (aiōn g165)
34 “How is this possible?” Mary asked. “I'm still a virgin.”
Mariamu nabhusya malaika jiribha kutiki okubha nitana murume.
35 He replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you. The baby who is to be born is holy, and will 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 Elizabeth, your relative, even she is pregnant in her old age. The woman that people said couldn't have children is already six months pregnant.
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 Nothing is impossible for God.”
Kulwokubha litalio linu elimusinga Nyamuanga.”
38 “Here I am, ready to be the Lord's servant,” said Mary. “May it happen to me just as you said.” Then the angel left her.
Maliamu naikati, Lola, anye ndi mukosi we chigasi wa Nyamuanga. Siga jibhe kutyo aikile kwanye emisango jao.”Neya malaika namusiga.
39 A little while later, Mary got herself ready and hurried up into the hills of Judea, to the town where
Nio kunsiku ejo Mariamu nagenda bhwangu mu chalo chebhima, mu musi mu nsi ya Yudea.
40 Zechariah's house was. She called out to Elizabeth as she went in.
Agendele nengila munyumba ya Jakalia namukesha Elijabheti.
41 As soon as Elizabeth heard Mary's voice, the baby jumped for joy inside her. Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
Oli yabhonekene ati Elijabheti ejile inkesha ya Maliamu, omwana munda yae nejunga, na Elijabheti nejushwa no mwoyo mwelu.
42 and cried out in a loud voice, “How blessed you are among women, and how blessed will be the child born to you!
Naikila ingulu kwo bhulaka bhunene,”una libhando agati ya bhagasi bhona, no mwana unu ali munda yao ona abhonekewe.
43 Why am I so honored that the mother of my Lord should visit me?
Jabhakutiki kwanye ati, nyila wa Latabhugenyi jimwiile aje kwanye?
44 As soon as I heard you call out in greeting, my baby jumped for joy inside me.
Kulwokubha lola, anu nongwo obhulaka bhwo kukeshyanya kwao, omwana munda yani nejunga ku lwokusandabha.
45 How fortunate you are, because you are convinced that the Lord will do what he has promised you!”
Na abhonekeweomugasi oyo unu ekilisishe ati jakabhonekene jinu jaikilwe jili ja chimali jinu abhwiliwe okusoka ku Latabhugenyi.”
46 Mary replied, “How I praise the Lord!
Maliamu naikati, omwoyo gwani ogumukuya Latabhugenyi,
47 I am so happy with God my Savior,
No mwoyo gwani gukondelewemu Nyamuanga omukisha wani.
48 because he decided that I, his servant, was worthy of his consideration, despite my humble background. From now on every generation will say I was blessed.
Kulwokubha amalola kutyo ali mwololoomukosi wae owechigasi. Lola, okwambila woli jinyibhulo jona ejija okumbilikila owamabhando.
49 God Almighty has done great things for me; his name is holy.
Kulwokubha omwene owobhutulo amakola amgambo manene kwanye, na lisina lyae ni lyelu.
50 His mercy lasts for generation after generation to those who respect him.
Nechigongo chae chilio okusoka maimbo na maimbo ku bhanu bhanu abhamwikilisha.
51 With his power he has broken to pieces those who arrogantly think they're so clever.
Olesishe amanaga kwo kubhoko kwae, anyalambuye bhanu bhekushaga ingulu yo bhwiganilisha bhwe mioyo jebhwe.
52 He tears the powerful down from their thrones, and elevates those who are humble.
Abhatelemusishe ansi abhana bha bhakama okusoka kubhitebhe bhyebhwe ebhyobhukama no kubhakusha bhanu bhaliga bhagailwe.
53 He fills the hungry with good things to eat, and he sends the rich away empty-handed.
Abhegusishe bhanu bhaliga bhana omweko gwe bhinu bhyekisi, tali abhanibhi abhabhilimishe bhatali na chinu.
54 He has helped his servant Israel, remembering him in 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 Mary stayed with her for three months and then returned home.
Maliamu ekae na Elijabheti kwa mwanya gwa mesi gasatu kutya nio nasubha ika ewae.
57 The time came for Elizabeth to have her baby and she gave birth to a son.
Woli omwanya gwaliga gweile ogwa Elijabheti okwibhula omwana wae na nebhula omwana we chilume.
58 Her neighbors and relatives heard how the Lord had showed her great kindness, and they celebrated together with her.
Abhekashanya bhae na bhaili bhae bhonguhywe kutyo Latabhugenyi amwikisishe echigongo kumwene, nibhakondelelwa amwi nage.
59 Eight days later they came to circumcise the boy. They planned to call him Zechariah after his father.
Woli jasokene ku lusiku lwa nane ati bhejile okumtenda omwana. Jaliga jibheile okumtoga lisina lyae, “Jakaliya,”kwo kulubha lisina lye esemwene,
60 “No,” Elizabeth said. “He shall be called John.”
Tali nyila wae nasubhya naikati,”Payi; kabhilikilwa Yowana.”
61 “But there's nobody among your relatives who has this name,” they told her.
Nibhamubwilati, atalio na umwi amwi mubhaili bhao unu kabhilikilwa lisinaelyo.”
62 Through gestures they asked Zechariah, the boy's father, what he wanted to call his son.
Nibhamukolela echijejekanyo esemwene wae okususanyisha omwene aliga nenda atogwe niga.
63 Zechariah motioned for something to write on. To everyone's surprise he wrote, “His name is John.”
Esemwene nenda olubao lwo kwandikila, na nandikati,”Lisina lyae ni Yowana.”Bhona nibhalugusibhwa nelyo.
64 Immediately he could speak again, and he started praising God.
Aonao omunwa gwae nigwiguka no lulimi lwae nilusulumuka. Naloma nakumukusha Nyamuanga.
65 All those living nearby were in awe at what had happened, and the news spread throughout the hill country of Judea.
Nibhobhaya bhona bhanu bhaliga bhekae ayeyi nabho. Emisango ejo nijiswila muchalo chona echa mabhanga ga Yudeya.
66 Everyone who heard the news wondered what it meant. “What will the little boy grow up to be?” they asked, for it was clear he was very special to God.
Bhona bhanu bhagonguhye nibhagabhika mumitima jebhwe, nibhaika ati, “Omwana unu ni wakutiki?” Kulwokubha okubhoko kwa Nyamuanga kuliamwi nage.
67 Zechariah, his father, filled with the Holy Spirit, spoke this prophecy:
Esemwene wae Jakaliya ejusibhwe no Mwoyo Mwelu nasosha obhulagi, naikati, Asimwe
68 “The Lord, the God of Israel, he is wonderful, for he has come to his people and set them free.
Latabhugenyi, Nyamuanga wa Isilaeli, kulwokubha amasakila na amafulubhendela omwelulo gwa bhanu bhae.
69 He has given us a great Savior from the line of his servant David,
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 He promised to save us from our enemies, from those who hate us.
Kaja ochikisha okusoka kubhasoko bheswe no kusoka mumabhoko gabhanu bhachiyatile.
72 He was merciful to our fathers, remembering his holy agreement—
Alikola kutya okwolesha echigongo kubhalata, nokwichuka lilagano lyae lyo bhwelu,
73 the promise that he made to our father Abraham.
no mulayi gunu aikile ku lata weswe Aburamu.
74 He gives us freedom from fear and rescues us from our enemies,
Alaiye okwolesha ati jakatulikene okumukolela Omwene atali na bhubuha, chisanga chamalile okuchungulwa okusoka mumabhoko ga bhasoko bheswe.
75 so we can serve him by doing what is good and right for our whole lives.
Mubhwelu no bhulengelesi lmbele yaye munsiku jeswe jona.
76 Even though you are only a small child, you will be called the prophet of the Most High, for you will go ahead of the Lord to prepare his way,
Yee, aona mwana, oubhilikilwa mulagi wa Unu ali ingulu muno, kulwokubha ouja okugenda mubhusu bhwa Latabhugenyi koleleki okumuchumila injila, okubhamenyesha abhanu kulwokuja kwae,
77 providing knowledge of salvation to his people through the forgiveness of their sins.
Okubhamenyesha abhanu bhae ati, bhalichungulwa kwo kwiswalililwa ebhibhibhi bhyebhwe.
78 Through God's caring kindness to us, heaven's dawn will break upon us
Linu libhonekene kulwainsonga ye chigongo cha Nyamuanga weswe, kulwainsonga ati lisubha okusoka ingulu lilichijila,
79 to shine on those who live in darkness and under the shadow of death, and to guide us along the path of peace.”
Okumulikila bhanu bhanu bhekae muchisute na mwilengesi lyo lufu. Kakola kutyo okutangasha amagulu geswe mu njila yo mulembe.”
80 The boy John grew and became spiritually strong. He lived in the desert until the time came for his public ministry to Israel.
Woli, omwana oyo nakula nabha namanaga ge chinyamwoyo na ekae mwibhala kukinga olusiku lwo kubhonekana kwae ku Isilaeli.
