Luke 1
1 As you know, many others have attempted to put down in writing the things that have been fulfilled that involve us.
Mongnook Thiophilas: Seng laktung ni Rangte mootkaat angta loong ah mina hantek ih lom raangthiin rumta.
2 They based their accounts on evidence from the earliest eyewitnesses and ministers of the Word,
Neng ih seng suh hephang di tumjih tup rumta loong ah nyia ruurang tumbaatte loong ih mamet baat tahe erah jun ih raang rumta.
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.
Erah raang ih, Jatwah Thiophilas, ngah ih erah loong tiit ah hephang dowa dook ih naririh ih jatjah halang, eno samthun tang, ngah ih uh naririh ih le nah phanlan raangthiin angbah ese ang ah eah.
4 I have done this dear Theophilus so you can be certain that what you were taught is completely reliable.
Ngah arah reelang ah langla an ih amiisak tiit nyootsoottu loong ah ejat toom et uh ih raangthiin hang.
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.
Judia ni Hirod luungwang angtokdi, romwah wasiit heh men ah Jekaria, Abija lilih heh romwah esiit angta. Heh minuh men ah Elijabet angta; heh uh esiit romwah jaatang nawa angta.
6 They both did what was right before God, being careful to follow all the Lord's commandments and regulations.
Nengnyi Rangte miksok di toongtang lam ih songtong nyuuta Teesu Hootthe jengdang loong ah naririh et kap nyu ano ah.
7 They had no children because Elizabeth wasn't able to have any, and they were both growing old.
Elijabet ah samuh nuh ang tungthoi nengnyi sah uh tajeeta, heh miwah Jekaria nyia heh ah ekuh ekaang ih nyuuta.
8 While Zechariah was serving as a priest before God, on behalf of his priestly division,
Heh romhoonsa thok kohaano saasiit Jekaria ah Rangteenok ni reeraang paknaata.
9 he was chosen by lot according to priestly custom to enter the Temple of the Lord and burn incense.
Romwah loong Hootthe jun ih Rangteenok ni phontumkaang tingtak suh jongteh tootoon rum adi Jekaria men chapta. Eno heh Teesu rangsoom nokmongni wangta
10 During the time of offering incense a large crowd of people were praying outside.
phontumkaang tingtak tok ah chang kano miloong ah taakkhuung ni rangsoom rumta.
11 An angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing to the right of the altar of incense.
Erah di heh reeni Rangsah ah dongchap taha, jaawako romthong phontumkaang tingtakta rum adi ah.
12 When Zechariah saw the angel, he was startled and became terrified.
Jekaria ih erah japtup ano paatjaata eno echo nep eta.
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.
Enoothong Rangsah rah ih heh suh liita, “Nakcho uh, Jekaria! Rangte ih an rangsoom chaat eta, an minuh suh no miwasah an raangtaan ih koh ah. An ih heh men ah Joon et men theng.
14 He will bring you joy and gladness, and many will celebrate his birth.
Heh tupsa doh tumthan tenroonjih ang ah an raangtaan ih ah, erah damdoh wahoh loong uh tumthan ih tenroon ang ah!
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.
Joon ah Teesu miksok doh elong mina esiit ang ah. Heh ih kham naktoom mok jok ah. Heh phang doktup damdam heh ah Esa Chiiala pan ang ah,
16 He will turn many Israelites back to the Lord their God.
eno heh ih Ijirel mina loong neng Teesu Rangte ko ih ngaak thoksiit ah.
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.”
Khowah Elija likhiik ih heh uh Teesu nganah chaan aphaan lam ih ban kah ah. Heh ih hewah heh sah loong we jun songtong thuk rum ah; heh ih Rangte jeng daante loong asuh kateng lampo jatthuk ah; heh ih Teesu mina loong heh raangtaan ih ban khookham thiin ah.”
18 “How can I be sure about this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “I'm an old man, and my wife is getting old too.”
Jekaria ih Rangsah asuh liita, “Emah mok ang abah ngah ih mamet jat ang? Ngah ah teekaang nih nga minuh uh wikuh ih hoonla nih.”
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.
“Ngah Gabrel,” Rangsah rah ih ngaakbaatta. “Ngah Rangte pandi chaplang, heh ih ngah an suh arah Ruurang Ese ah baat suh kaat thuk halang.
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.”
Enoothong an ih nga jengkhaap ah tahanpi ko, heh rangwuung thok ha doh amiisak ih langte lek ang kano ah. Nga jengkhaap lahanpi thoidoh an tami jengko ang uh; ngah ih an damdi kakham hala ah amiisak maang langlang an suusu ih tong uh.”
21 Outside the people were waiting for Zechariah, wondering why he was taking so long in the Temple.
Erah tok adi miloong ah ih Jekaria ah ban sok ruh ih rum ano Rangteenok ni saatang tumjih thaam eha ih paatja rumta.
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.
Jekaria dokkhoomha no neng damdi heh tami waanta, eno neng ih jat rumta Rangteenok nok ni mot amang hetupta eah. Khaapsiit uh lami dongjeng thoi heh lakthaak pamaak ih waan rumta.
23 After he'd finished his time of service, he went back home.
Heh Rangteenok ni rangsoom phansiit saapoot ah thoon ano, Jekaria heh nok ni ngaakwangta.
24 Some time later his wife Elizabeth became pregnant. She stayed at home for five months.
Eno rekam ritdi heh minuh Elijabet rah heh sah dong wokta, eno laabanga heh nok nawa tadok khoomta.
25 “The Lord has done this for me,” she said, “now that he's taken away my disgrace in the eyes of others.”
Heh ih liita, “Nga Teesu ih hethoondi kok chosok halang. Heh ih ngah noksong dung nah rakri theng taat angtang rah toonhaat ha!”
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.
Elijaabet sah la arok wok adi Rangte ih Rangsah Gabrel Galili samnuh Najaret hadaang adi daapkaatta.
27 She was engaged to a man named Joseph.
Heh ih jaalah esiit suh tiitkhaap baatjih angta, jaalah ah Dewid luungwang sutoom Josep damdi nook suh kakhat muicho angta. Heh men ah Meeri angta.
28 The angel greeted her. “You are very privileged,” he told her. “The Lord is with you.”
Rangsah ah ra haano heh suh baatta, “Khooteng toomtong uh! Teesu an damdi heh ih romseetam koh halu!”
29 Mary was very puzzled at what he said, and wondered what this greeting meant.
Meeri ih Rangsah jeng ah chaat ano rapne ih mongsaamta, eno erah jengkhaap ah tumjih suh liita ih paatjaata.
30 “Don't worry, Mary,” the angel went on, “for God has shown his graciousness to you.
Rangsah ih liita, “Nakcho uh, Meeri; Rangte ih an minchan ih halu.
31 You will become pregnant and give birth to a son. You shall call him Jesus.
An sah wokte anglu eno miwasah et tup uh, heh men ah Jisu et men uh.
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,
Heh ah elong angte eno heh suh Elong Echoong ni tongte Rangte sah et li ah. Teesu Rangte ih heh ah luungwang et hoon ah, heh te Dewid likhiik ah,
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. His kingdom will never come to an end.” (aiōn g165)
eno heh ah Jaakob sutoom dowa rootang raang ih luungwang ang ah; Heh hasong ah babah uh lathoon thang angte!” (aiōn g165)
34 “How is this possible?” Mary asked. “I'm still a virgin.”
Meeri ih Rangsah asuh liita, “Ngah roibaamuh jaalah boh ah. Erah mamah maami ang ah?”
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.
Rangsah ih ngaakbaatta, “Esa Chiiala an sak nah raaha, eno Rangte chaan ah ansak nah tong raaha. Erah raangtaan ih esa noodek asuh Rangte Sah et poon ah.
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.
An sano Elijabet ah taat samthun thaak uh. Heh suh samuh nuh ih kaliitan ah, amadi heh sah la arok angla, wikuh ih hoon adi nep ah.
37 Nothing is impossible for God.”
Rangte lajen reejih tumjih uh tajeeka.”
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.
“Ngah ah Teesu laksuh,” Meeri ih liita; “An ih baattu jun ih toom ang raaha nga sak nah ah.” Eno Rangsah ah mat khoomta.
39 A little while later, Mary got herself ready and hurried up into the hills of Judea, to the town where
Erah lilih Meeri phangla ih kong akaan deek Judia ko nah kaat suh dokchapta.
40 Zechariah's house was. She called out to Elizabeth as she went in.
Heh Jekaria nok ni nop kah ano Elijabet suh jengseeraata.
41 As soon as Elizabeth heard Mary's voice, the baby jumped for joy inside her. Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
Elijabet ih Meeri jengseeraata ah japchaat damdam, heh mong nawa noodek ah jaapmota. Elijabet ah Esa Chiiala pan angta
42 and cried out in a loud voice, “How blessed you are among women, and how blessed will be the child born to you!
eno erongwah ih jengta, “An ah minuh loong dungni romseetam choh cho mina, erah dam ih an ih tupte noodek asuh uh romseetam choh cho!
43 Why am I so honored that the mother of my Lord should visit me?
Arathan elong ah nga taang ni mame ang raak kohala, Teesu nuh anep nga jiinni jen chomui jih ah?
44 As soon as I heard you call out in greeting, my baby jumped for joy inside me.
An jengseera ah japchaat damdam, nga mong nawa noodek ah nep roon ano wookla.
45 How fortunate you are, because you are convinced that the Lord will do what he has promised you!”
Teesu jengkhaap ah ansak nah amiisak ih ang raaha ih hanpi thoidoh an tumthan ih tenroonte anglu!”
46 Mary replied, “How I praise the Lord!
Meeri ih liita, “Nga ten ih Teesu ah phoong ha;
47 I am so happy with God my Savior,
nga pangte Rangte suh nga la roonla,
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.
tumeah heh ih ngah, ehin laksuh ah dokthun thoi ah! aadowa ih miloong ah ih ngah suh tenroon mina et poonhang,
49 God Almighty has done great things for me; his name is holy.

50 His mercy lasts for generation after generation to those who respect him.
roosiit tokkhodi roosiit Heh ih heh soomtuute asuh minchan noisok ha.
51 With his power he has broken to pieces those who arrogantly think they're so clever.
Heh ih chaan apaan pan lak ah janghaat ano engaam ete loong nyia neng tenthun mongtham ah phaang thukla.
52 He tears the powerful down from their thrones, and elevates those who are humble.
Heh ih chaan apaan luungwang loong ah neng tongtheng nawa dattong thuk ano; ehin loong ah toonjoh ah.
53 He fills the hungry with good things to eat, and he sends the rich away empty-handed.
Heh ih ramtekte suh phaksat ese koha, eno changteng loong ah lak huung daap haat ha.
54 He has helped his servant Israel, remembering him in mercy,
Heh ih sengte sengwah suh kakham thiinta rah reeta, eno heh laksuh Ijirel ah chosok ra hala.
Heh ih sengte Abraham nyia heh sutoom satoom loong asuh, rootang raang ih minchan noisokta ah samthunha!” (aiōn g165)
56 Mary stayed with her for three months and then returned home.
Meeri ah Elijabet damdi laajom roongtongta eno heh nok ni ngaakwangta.
57 The time came for Elizabeth to have her baby and she gave birth to a son.
Elijabet sah tup rangwuung thok haano, heh sah ah miwasah ih tupta.
58 Her neighbors and relatives heard how the Lord had showed her great kindness, and they celebrated together with her.
Hekhuung hetok nyia heh joonte sano loong ah ih chaat rum ano Teesu suh tumthan ih seela ih phoong rumta, eno neng ah heh damdi rapne ih roong roon rumta.
59 Eight days later they came to circumcise the boy. They planned to call him Zechariah after his father.
Noodek ah saasinet ang adi, neng ah khoopkhan banlam hoon suh ra taha, eno heh men ah Jekaria, heh lilih et men theng ih liirumta.
60 “No,” Elizabeth said. “He shall be called John.”
Enoothong heh nuh ih liita, “Tah angka! Heh men Joon et men theng.”
61 “But there's nobody among your relatives who has this name,” they told her.
Eno neng ih heh nuh asuh baat rumta, “Enoothong erah bah ante anwah men tah angka!”
62 Through gestures they asked Zechariah, the boy's father, what he wanted to call his son.
Eno neng ih heh wah suh neng tokmoot damdi cheng rumta, an ih mamet men ih doh se ah ih thunhu.
63 Zechariah motioned for something to write on. To everyone's surprise he wrote, “His name is John.”
Jekaria ih eraangtheng jonglo ah suh ano, raangta, “heh men ah Joon.” Eno mirep rapne ih paatja rumta!
64 Immediately he could speak again, and he started praising God.
Erah tok adi Jekaria we mi dongjengta, eno Rangte rang ah phoongta.
65 All those living nearby were in awe at what had happened, and the news spread throughout the hill country of Judea.
Hekhuung hetok joonte loong ah neng cho dongta, eno erah ruurang ah Judia hah kong akaan noongrep ni thok ruurang kata.
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.
Warep ih erah tiit ah chaat rum ano samthun rumleh cheng et rumta, “Arah noodek ah mamah ih dong hakte angla?” Tumeah heh sak ni Teesu chaan aphaan ah samkhikhih angta.
67 Zechariah, his father, filled with the Holy Spirit, spoke this prophecy:
Joon wah Jekaria ah Esa Chiiala pan angta, eno heh ih Rangte jengkhaap ah baatta:
68 “The Lord, the God of Israel, he is wonderful, for he has come to his people and set them free.
“Seng Teesu ah phoong ih Ijirel Rangte rah ah! Heh mina loong pang raangtaan ih ra taha eno neng ah puipangta.
69 He has given us a great Savior from the line of his servant David,
Heh ih seng suh chaan aphaan pan Khopiipangte kojah hali, Heh laksuh Dewid sutoom dowa ah.
Heh ih teewadi esa khowah loong damdi thoom hoonta (aiōn g165)
71 He promised to save us from our enemies, from those who hate us.
Heh ih seng piiara nawa panghe, seng miksukte hang achaan nawa jen toonpang raang ih ah.
72 He was merciful to our fathers, remembering his holy agreement—
Heh ih liita sengte sengwah loong ah heh ih tenthet et ah eno heh ih esa nuumiijeng ah dokthun ah.
73 the promise that he made to our father Abraham.
Sengte sengwah Abraham, suh kakhamta Heh ih seng piiara loong nawa pang et he eno seng ah heh mootkaat ah lacho thang ih moh thuk he,
74 He gives us freedom from fear and rescues us from our enemies,
75 so we can serve him by doing what is good and right for our whole lives.
eno ba seng ah heh ngah nah esa nyi epun jen ang ih seng roidong tang ih ah.
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,
“Nga sah, an ah, Elong Echoong Rangte khowah ih poonho. An Teesu nganah kah uno heh raangtaan ih lam ban tan kah uh,
77 providing knowledge of salvation to his people through the forgiveness of their sins.

78 Through God's caring kindness to us, heaven's dawn will break upon us
Seng Rangte ah minchan nyia tenthet Rangte. Heh ih khopiiroidong ah rangsa phaakla likhiik ih phaak thukla,
79 to shine on those who live in darkness and under the shadow of death, and to guide us along the path of peace.”
eno rang nawa ih warep kaangtook ah laamang nyia etek lampo ni tongte loong rah ah, seng khooteng lampo nah khoom thuk raangtaan ih ah.”
80 The boy John grew and became spiritually strong. He lived in the desert until the time came for his public ministry to Israel.
Noodek ah hansi nyia chiiala ni rongtangtang ih hakta. Ijirel noksong damdi chomui suh rangwuung maang thokthok Joon ah woma mong ni tongta.
