Luke 1
1 As you know, many others have attempted to put down in writing the things that have been fulfilled that involve us.
kulyuve mwoghopua Tiofilo avaanhu vinga valembile imhola isa Yesu Kilisite ndavule silyavombike kulyusue.
2 They based their accounts on evidence from the earliest eyewitnesses and ministers of the Word,
valembile imhola isi ndavule tulyapangilue na vano valyalolile na maaso ghave, navano valyasipulisie kuhuma vuvutengulilo vwake.
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.
ulwakuva nilondile vunono uvwakyang'haani vwa mhola sa Yesu vuhuma vuvutengulilo lino najune nivwene lunono kukulembela isi sooni muvutavike.
4 I have done this dear Theophilus so you can be certain that what you were taught is completely reliable.
neke ulukagule ulwakyang'haani lwa mbombo sino ukavulanisivue.
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.
mu fighono fya Helode untwa ghwa Yudea, pwealyale untekesi jumonga juno alyale ikemelua Sakalia ughwa lukolo lwa Abia un'dala ghwake alyahumile muvaliive va Haluni, ni litavua lyake alyale ikemelua Elisabeti.
6 They both did what was right before God, being careful to follow all the Lord's commandments and regulations.
voni van valyale vagholofu pa maaso gha Nguluve amaghendele ghale ghasita kukuvapika mundaghilo sooni munjovele ja Mutwa.
7 They had no children because Elizabeth wasn't able to have any, and they were both growing old.
neke navalyale nu mwana ulwakuva uElisabeti alyale mughumba na kukavalilo akuo voni vale vaghogholofijo.
8 While Zechariah was serving as a priest before God, on behalf of his priestly division,
lino lulyahumile kuuti uSakalia alyale nu Mhepo umwimike kuvutavike vwa Nguluve. akalutile nuvutavike vwa vutekesi kuhumila mu vutavike vwa ludimo lwake.
9 he was chosen by lot according to priestly custom to enter the Temple of the Lord and burn incense.
kwevulyale uvutavike uvwa kuvomba mu nyumba ja Nguluve veni umuunhu untekesi, veni idalikila akasalulua ikipugha akingila mu nhumba ja Mutwa akanyanya uvufumba.
10 During the time of offering incense a large crowd of people were praying outside.
ilipugha lyoni lya vaanhu vakava vikufunya kunji ye vinyanya uvusumba.
11 An angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing to the right of the altar of incense.
unyaMhola ghwa Mutwa akamwumila na kukwiima ulubale lwa luvoko lwa ndia kufitekelelo kuno vinyanyila uvusumba.
12 When Zechariah saw the angel, he was startled and became terrified.
uSakalia akoghopa ye alwaghile ulutetemo lulyamughwila.
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.
neke unyaMhola akam'bula kuuti, ulekaghe pikwoghopa Sakalia ulwakuva ulufunyo lwako lupulikike. undala ghwako uElisabeti ikukuholela umwana ilitavua lyake ghukun'kemela Yohani.
14 He will bring you joy and gladness, and many will celebrate his birth.
ghuliva nu lukelo na kuhovoka, na vinga vikuhovokela kuholua kwa mwene.
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.
ulwakuva iliva nu vuvaha kuhuma kwa Mutwa ujuo nanganyisaghe nambe kimonga kino kighasia. looli ingufu sa Mhepo umwimike siiva nu mwene kuhuma pano ali mulileme lwa ng'iina.
16 He will turn many Israelites back to the Lord their God.
na vaanhu vinga ava Silaeli ilikuvagomosiagha kwa Nguluve uMutwa ghwave.
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.”
ujuo ilikumulongolela uMutwa mu ngufu nu mwojo ndavule alyale uEliya kusambania mu ngufu sa Mhepo uMwimike neve vano navikumwoghopa vighendagha muluhala lwa vano valweli. ikuvavombela ndiki kukuvavika kwa Mutwa avaanhu vano vaghelanisivue vwimila jake.
18 “How can I be sure about this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “I'm an old man, and my wife is getting old too.”
uSakalia akam'bula unyaMhola, “niwesia ndani kukagula ili? ulwakuva une nili nsehe nu n'dala ghwango na maka ghake ghali minga kyongo”.
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.
unyaMhola akamwamula na kumb'ula, une nene Gabilieli, nejuno nikwima pavulongolo pa Nguluve. nisung'ilue kukuvuula, kukuletela iMhola inofu iji.
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.”
kange lolagha, nungajove kinu ghuva kimie nungawesie kujova kuhanga ikighono kila pano isi siva sihumile. ulu lwe ulwakuva ukakunilue kukwitika amasio ghango ghano mu nsiki ghiva ghavombike.
21 Outside the people were waiting for Zechariah, wondering why he was taking so long in the Temple.
lino avaanhu valyale vikumughula uSakalia. valyadeghile kuuti alyale itumila unsiki mwinga ku nyumba inyimike ja kufunyila.
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.
neke ye ahumile kunji, akakunilue kujova navo. pe aveene vakakagula kuuti, luvonike lumonga mu nyuma inyimike neke umwene akava ihufia lumonga na mavoko. akajigha kinunu.
23 After he'd finished his time of service, he went back home.
ye fisilile ifighono fyakuvomba imbombo jakilekesi ayavukile kugomoka kunyumba jake.
24 Some time later his wife Elizabeth became pregnant. She stayed at home for five months.
pambele uSakalia akavuja kukaja kuhuma ku mbombo sake sakitekesi un'dala ghwake akava n'kunue, akifisa amesi ghahaano akajova.
25 “The Lord has done this for me,” she said, “now that he's taken away my disgrace in the eyes of others.”
“ulwakuva lwe luno uMutwa ambombile une ye andolile kulughano lwoni kukumbusikisia isoni pa maaso gha vaanhu”
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.
ye ghufikile umwesi ghwa n'tanda pavukunue vwa Elisabeti uNguluve akatuma unyaMhola uGabilieli kuluta mu iisi ja Galilaya ilitavua ilinge Nasaleti,
27 She was engaged to a man named Joseph.
kwa mhinja juno akatambulwagha Maliya. kwa mhinja juno alyatunilue nu mughosi ilitavua lyake ghwe Yosefu. umuholua mukikolo kya Davidi nilitavua lya mhinja akakemeluagha ghwe Maliya.
28 The angel greeted her. “You are very privileged,” he told her. “The Lord is with you.”
unyaMhola ye afikile akati, “nikukuhungila uve ghwe juno usungukilue nu Mutwa, uMutwa alinuve;
29 Mary was very puzzled at what he said, and wondered what this greeting meant.
amasio ghanyaMhola ghaka mangajisia kyongo mu mwojo ghwake na alyaghamanyile kiki unyaMhola ihungila hungila iji kidegho.
30 “Don't worry, Mary,” the angel went on, “for God has shown his graciousness to you.
unyaMhola akam'bula “nungoghopaghe Maliya ulwakuva uNguluve akusungukile.
31 You will become pregnant and give birth to a son. You shall call him Jesus.
lolagha ghuva nu vukunue, ghupapagha umwana neke ghukun'kemelagha ilitavua ghwe Yesu.
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,
iliva m'baha ikemeluagha mwana ghwa juno alikukyanya kyongo, uMutwa uNguluve neke ikumpelagha ikitengo kya vutwa kya Davidi uvuse.
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. His kingdom will never come to an end.” (aiōn g165)
itemagha uvutwa mu lukolo lwa Yakovo uvusila nakusila lusiku. (aiōn g165)
34 “How is this possible?” Mary asked. “I'm still a virgin.”
uMaliya akam'bula unyaMhola ili, iva ndani ulwakuva une nanighelile kuvwafuka nu mughosi ghwoghwoni?
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.
unyamhola akamwamula akam'bula “uMhepo uMwimike ikwisa kulyuve. ni ngufu sa juno alikukyanya kyongo sikwisa kulyuve. pe lino umwimike juno iholua ikemeluagha mwana ghwa Nguluve.
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.
lolagha ulukololuo uElisabeti alinuukunue vwa mwana mufighono fyake fya vughogholo, ughu ghwe mwesi ghwa n'tanda juno valyatile mughumba.
37 Nothing is impossible for God.”
ulwakuva kwa Nguluve nakwekili kino kimuulemile”
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.
uMaliya akajova akati, une nilim'baanda ghwa Mutwa neke luuleke luve luve kulyune ndavule ujovile” pe pano unyaMhola akavuka iluta.
39 A little while later, Mary got herself ready and hurried up into the hills of Judea, to the town where
ye fikikile ifighono nde filingi uMaliya avuka ng'haning'habi na kuluta ku iisi jimonga jino jale nyafidunda, ija Yudea.
40 Zechariah's house was. She called out to Elizabeth as she went in.
ukuo akingila mu nyumba ija Sakalia na kumwungila uElisabeti,
41 As soon as Elizabeth heard Mary's voice, the baby jumped for joy inside her. Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
lino pe lulyahumile kuuti,” uElisabeti ye apulike uluhungilo lwa Maliya. umwana mu lileme akaomoka tomoka, neke uElisabeti ingufu isa Mhepo uMwimike sikamwisila.
42 and cried out in a loud voice, “How blessed you are among women, and how blessed will be the child born to you!
pe akatengula pijova kungufu akati, “ufunyilue uve mukighavo kya vakijuuva najumwana juno alimulileme lyako afunyilue.
43 Why am I so honored that the mother of my Lord should visit me?
neke lulindani kulyune ungiina ghwa Mutwa lunoghile pikwisa kulyune?
44 As soon as I heard you call out in greeting, my baby jumped for joy inside me.
ulwakuva lolagha ye lupulikike mu mbughulutu sango ilisio lya kuhungila kulyuve umwana mulileme lyango atomwike nu lukelo.
45 How fortunate you are, because you are convinced that the Lord will do what he has promised you!”
neke afunyilue umukijuva jula juno alyitike kuuti vulyahumila uvya kyang'haani vwa sino alyavulilue kuhuma kwa Mutwa”.
46 Mary replied, “How I praise the Lord!
uMaliya akati, inimbula jango jikunfunya uMutwa,
47 I am so happy with God my Savior,
naghumwojo ghwango ghuvovwike mwa Nguluve umpoki ghwango.
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.
ulwakuva avulolile uvukotofu vwa m'banda ghwake umhinja. lolagha kuhuma mu fisina fyoni vikughonelagha nilifunyua.
49 God Almighty has done great things for me; his name is holy.
ulwakuva umwene unya sooni avombile sino mbaha kylyune. ni litavua lyake ilyimike.
50 His mercy lasts for generation after generation to those who respect him.
uvukola vwake kuhuma ikisina ni kisina ku vano vikumwopa umwene.
51 With his power he has broken to pieces those who arrogantly think they're so clever.
avonisie ingufu mu luvoko lyake avapalanisie vala vano vakighiniagha mu masaghe gha mooja ghave.
52 He tears the powerful down from their thrones, and elevates those who are humble.
avisisie paasi avana va vatwa kuhuma mufitengo fyave ifya vutwa na kukuvatosia kukyanya vano vakotofu.
53 He fills the hungry with good things to eat, and he sends the rich away empty-handed.
alyavapelile avanya njala ifinu ifi nono looli avamofu avadagile na mavoko gheene.
54 He has helped his servant Israel, remembering him in mercy,
ahumisie uvutangilisi kwa Isilaeli um'bombi ghake, neke akumuke kuvonesia uvuhugu.
(ndavule alyajovile kuvanhaata vitu) kwa Abulahamu ni fisina fyake kuvusila na kusila” (aiōn g165)
56 Mary stayed with her for three months and then returned home.
uMalia alikalile nu Elisabeti hwene mesi ghatatu pepano akagomoka ku nyumba ja mwene.
57 The time came for Elizabeth to have her baby and she gave birth to a son.
lino unsiki ghulyafikile ughwa Elisabeti kupaapa umwana un'dimi.
58 Her neighbors and relatives heard how the Lord had showed her great kindness, and they celebrated together with her.
avabading'ani vake na vanyalukolo vake valyapulike ndavule uMutwa atupelanisie mu vuhugu vwake, kange vakahovoka palikimo nu mwene.
59 Eight days later they came to circumcise the boy. They planned to call him Zechariah after his father.
lino kilyahumile ikighono kya lekela kwoni valisile kukivungo najumwana lulyanoghile vampele ilitavua lyake ghwe Sakalia kulwiho lwa vise.
60 “No,” Elizabeth said. “He shall be called John.”
looli ung'ina akamula akati, “ndali” ikemelua ghwe Yohani”
61 “But there's nobody among your relatives who has this name,” they told her.
vakam'bula napwale nambe jumo mulukolo juno itambulua ku litavua ili”
62 Through gestures they asked Zechariah, the boy's father, what he wanted to call his son.
pe vakam'bombela ikimanyilo uvise kuuti, umwene iti ilitavua akemelue veni.
63 Zechariah motioned for something to write on. To everyone's surprise he wrote, “His name is John.”
uvise akalonda ikisegho akalemba “ilitavua ghwe Yohani” voni vakadegha ku ili
64 Immediately he could speak again, and he started praising God.
ku kenyemukila umulomo ghake ghukadinduka nu lumili lwake lukava vuleka akajova na kukumughinia uNguluve
65 All those living nearby were in awe at what had happened, and the news spread throughout the hill country of Judea.
uludwesi lukavisila voni vano valikalile pipi navoimbombo isio sikakwilana mu iisi jooni ja fidunda fya Yudea,
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.
na voni vano valyaghapulike vakaghagadilila mu mwoojo ghave, vakati umwana uju ghwa ndani ndani?” ulwakuva uluvoko lwa Mutwa lulyale palikimo naghwo.
67 Zechariah, his father, filled with the Holy Spirit, spoke this prophecy:
ivise ghwa Sakalia akapeluula ingufu nu Mhepo uMwimike akatengula kuhumia uvuvili akatisagha,
68 “The Lord, the God of Israel, he is wonderful, for he has come to his people and set them free.
aghinwaghe uMutwa, uNguluve ghwa Isilaeli, ulwakuva atangile kange na kukuvavanga avaanhu vake.
69 He has given us a great Savior from the line of his servant David,
atupelile uvupoki kuhuma mu nyumba ja nyambombo ghwake u Davidi, kuhuma mukikolo kya m'bombi ghwake uDavidi.
ndavule alyajovile mumulomo ghwa vavili vake vano kwevalyale kuhuma kuvukuulu. (aiōn g165)
71 He promised to save us from our enemies, from those who hate us.
alatupoka kuhuma kuvalugu viitu na kuhuma mumavoko ghavaanhu vooni vano vikutukalalila.
72 He was merciful to our fathers, remembering his holy agreement—
alavomba ndiki kuvonesia ulusungu kuvanhaata vitu na kukumbuka ululaghilo lwake ulwimike.
73 the promise that he made to our father Abraham.
ulujigho luno alayjovile kwa Abulahamu unhaata ghwitu.
74 He gives us freedom from fear and rescues us from our enemies,
alyajighile na kunkangasia kuuti lunoghile pikum'bombela umwene kisila vwoghofi pano tupokilue pihuma mumavoko ghavalugu viitu.
75 so we can serve him by doing what is good and right for our whole lives.
muvwimike na muvagholofu uvwakyang'haani pa maaso ghake ni fighono fyake fyoni.
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,
Ena, najuve mwana ghukemeluagha uli mb'ili ghw ajuno ali kukyanya fiijo ulwakuva alyaghendelelagha ku maaso ghwa Mutwa kuuti ikuvavonesia isila. neke kukunosekesia isila avaanhu pano ikwisagha umwene.
77 providing knowledge of salvation to his people through the forgiveness of their sins.
kukuvavula avaanhu vake kuuti valapyanilwagha valavuvunagha uvupoki kusila kusila ja vupoki vwa nyfi saave.
78 Through God's caring kindness to us, heaven's dawn will break upon us
ili lilyahumile ulwakuva ja lusungu lwa Nguluve ghwitu ulwakuva ilijuva kuhuma kukyanya likutwisila.
79 to shine on those who live in darkness and under the shadow of death, and to guide us along the path of peace.”
kukutumulikila ku vano vikalile mu ng'isi nu lumwighighi ghwa vafue alavomba ndiki kulongosia amaghulu ghitu kusila ja lutengano.”
80 The boy John grew and became spiritually strong. He lived in the desert until the time came for his public ministry to Israel.
lino umwana jula akakula na kuva nyangufu mwa Mhepo uMwimike. alikalile kulihaka kuhanga unsiki ghuno akavonekagha ku vaSilaeli.
