Luke 1
1 Forasmuch as many haue taken in hand to set foorth the storie of those things, whereof we are fully persuaded,
Ambuje che Teofilo: Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵatesile iŵakombwele kulemba kwa ukotopasyo asila ngani syasikopochele pa uweji.
2 As they haue deliuered them vnto vs, which from the beginning saw them their selues, and were ministers of ye word,
Ŵalembile mpela yatite pakusalilwa ni ŵandu ŵaŵasiweni ngani syo kwa meeso gao chitandile kundanda ni kuŵa achikatumetume ŵa Liloŵe lya Akunnungu.
3 It seemed good also to me (most noble Theophilus) assoone as I had searched out perfectly all things from the beginning, to write vnto thee thereof from point to point,
Kwapele ambuje che Teofilo, panamasile kuusosasosa usyene wose chambone kwa moŵa gamajinji, naiweni yambone kuti nannembele kwa uchenene mpela iyatite paakopochela,
4 That thou mightest acknowledge the certaintie of those things, whereof thou hast bene instructed.
kuti nomwe nkombole kuumanyilila usyene wa yeila yanjiganyikwe.
5 In the time of Herod King of Iudea, there was a certaine Priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabet.
Katema che Helode paŵaliji mwenye jwa ku Yudea, paliji ni jwambopesi jwa Akunnungu jumo liina lyao che Sakalia jwa mpingo wa ŵambopesi waukwimililwa ni che Abiya. Ŵankwawo ŵaŵilangagwa che Elisabeti, nombewo ŵaliji ŵa lukosyo lwa jwambopesi che Haluni.
6 Both were iust before God, and walked in all the commandements and ordinances of the Lord, without reproofe.
Wose ŵaŵili ŵaliji ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu, achitamaga nkukamulisya makanyo ni malajisyo ga Ambuje pangali sambi.
7 And they had no childe, because that Elisabet was barren: and both were well stricken in age.
Nganaakola ŵanache pakuŵa che Elisabeti ŵaliji ngakuŵeleka, nombe wose ŵaŵili ŵaliji achekulwipe nnope.
8 And it came to passe, as he executed the Priestes office before God, as his course came in order,
Lyuŵa limo che Sakalia pajaliji samu jao jakupanganya masengo ga chimbopesi pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu,
9 According to the custome of the Priests office, his lot was to burne incense, when he went into the Temple of the Lord.
Mpela iyatite pakusyoŵeleka che Sakalia ŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu kwagudugudu, kuti ajinjile pa Nyuumba ja Ambuje atutumye ubani.
10 And the whole multitude of the people were without in prayer, while the incense was burning.
Ŵandu wose ŵaŵasongangene ŵaliji paasa aninkupopela katema kakututumya ubani.
11 Then appeared vnto him an Angel of the Lord standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
Katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje jwankopochele che Sakalia ni kwima kundyo kwa chilisa cha kututumichisya ubani.
12 And when Zacharias sawe him, he was troubled, and feare fell vpon him.
Che Sakalia paŵammweni katumetume jwa kwinani ŵasupwiche ni kukamulwa ni lipamba.
13 But the Angel saide vnto him, Feare not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard, and thy wise Elisabet shall beare thee a sonne, and thou shalt call his name Iohn.
Nambo katumetume jwa kwinani ŵansalile, “Che Sakalia nkajogopa pakuŵa Akunnungu akupikene kupopela kwenu ni ŵankwenu che Elisabeti chammelechele mwanache jwannume, nomwe chimwaŵilanje a Yohana.
14 And thou shalt haue ioy and gladnes, and many shall reioyce at his birth.
Chinsangalale nnope ni ŵandu ŵajinji chachine ligongo lya kupagwa kwakwe.
15 For he shalbe great in the sight of the Lord, and shall neither drinke wine, nor strong drinke: and he shalbe filled with the holy Ghost, euen from his mothers wombe.
Chachiŵa jwankulu paujo pa Ambuje. Ngaang'wa divai ng'o, chalongoswe ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu kutyochela nnutumbo mwa achikulugwe.
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turne to their Lord God.
Che Yohana chiŵausye ŵandu ŵajinji ŵa ku Isilaeli kwa Ambuje Akunnungu ŵao.
17 For he shall goe before him in the spirite and power of Elias, to turne the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisedome of the iust men, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
Ŵelewo chiŵalongolele Ambuje akuno achilongoswaga ni machili ni mbumu mpela ji che Elia, kuti ŵalumbanye achatati ni achiŵana ŵao, chiŵatende ŵangakwajitichisya Akunnungu aŵanje ni nganisyo syambone ni kwaŵika chile ŵandu kwa Ambuje.”
18 Then Zacharias said vnto ye Angel, Whereby shall I knowe this? for I am an olde man, and my wife is of a great age.
Che Sakalia ŵammusisye katumetume jwa kwinani jo kuti, “Chichi chachichiimanyisye yeleyo? Pakuŵa uneji ni ŵankwangu tuchekulwipe.”
19 And the Angell answered, and sayde vnto him, I am Gabriel that stand in the presence of God, and am sent to speake vnto thee, and to shew thee these good tidings.
Katumetume jwa kwinani jo ŵaajanjile che Sakalia, “Une ni Gabulieli, katumetume jwa Akunnungu, ndumikwe kuŵecheta nomwe ni kunsalila ngani jambone ji.
20 And beholde, thou shalt be domme, and not be able to speake, vntill the day that these things be done, because thou beleeuedst not my words, which shalbe fulfilled in their season.
Mpikane, chimme jwangaŵelecheta, ngankombola kuŵecheta mpaka lyuŵa pachigakopochele gelego, pakuŵa nganingakulupilila maloŵe gangu, nombego chigatimile kwa katema kakwe.”
21 Now the people waited for Zacharias, and marueiled that he taried so long in the Temple.
Kele katema ko ŵandu wose ŵaliji aninkwalindilila che Sakalia akuno achisimongaga kukaŵa kwao mu Nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
22 And when hee came out, hee coulde not speake vnto them: then they perceiued that hee had seene a vision in the Temple: For he made signes vnto them, and remained domme.
Che Sakalia paŵakopweche paasa nganakombola kuŵecheta nawo. Nipele ŵandu ŵaimanyilile kuti aiweni yakwiwona mu Nyuumba ja Akunnungu. Ŵajendelechele kuŵecheta nawo kwa makono pakuŵa ŵaliji ngakuŵecheta.
23 And it came to passe, when the daies of his office were fulfilled, that he departed to his owne house.
Paŵamalisisye moŵa gao ga kupanganya masengo ga umbopesi, che Sakalia ŵausile kumusi.
24 And after those daies, his wife Elisabet conceiued, and hid her selfe fiue moneths, saying,
Kanyuma kanandi che Elisabeti ŵankwawo che Sakalia ŵaliji pachiilu. Nganatyoka mu nyuumba katema ka miesi nsano.
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me, in the daies wherein he looked on me, to take from me my rebuke among men.
Achiŵechetaga kuti, “Yeleyi ni yambanganyichisye Ambuje, angamwisye ni kundyosyesya soni syangu paujo pa ŵandu.”
26 And in the sixth moneth, the Angell Gabriel was sent from God vnto a citie of Galile, named Nazareth,
Pa mwesi wa sita wa chitumbo cha che Elisabeti, Akunnungu ŵantumile Gabulieli, katumetume jwa kwinani ajaule musi wa ku Nasaleti chilambo cha ku Galilaya.
27 To a virgin affianced to a man whose name was Ioseph, of the house of Dauid, and the virgins name was Marie.
Ajaule kwa mwalimwalipe liina lyao che Maliamu juŵatomelwe ni jwannume, liina lyao che Yusufu, jwa lukosyo lwa che Daudi.
28 And the Angel went in vnto her, and said, Haile thou that art freely beloued: the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Katumetume jwa kwinani ŵanjaulile ni kwasalila, “Ngunkomasya, mmwejo jundi ni upile! Ambuje ali pamo nomwe!”
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and thought what maner of salutation that should be.
Che Maliamu paŵagapilikene gele maloŵe go ŵasupwiche nnope ni kuganisya kuti chikomasyo chi malumbo gakwe chichi?
30 Then the Angel saide vnto her, Feare not, Marie: for thou hast found fauour with God.
Katumetume jwa kwinani ŵansalile, “Che Maliamu, nkajogopa pakuŵa Akunnungu anonyelwe nomwe.
31 For loe, thou shalt conceiue in thy wobe, and beare a sonne, and shalt call his name Iesus.
Mpikane, chimme ŵa pachiilu, chimummeleche mwanache jwannume, nomwe chimummilanje Che Yesu.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Sonne of the most High, and the Lord God shall giue vnto him the throne of his father Dauid.
Jwelejo chaŵe jwankulu ni chaŵilanjikwe Mwana jwa Akumanani. Ambuje Akunnungu chiŵape umwenye wa che Daudi, Ambuje ŵao.
33 And hee shall reigne ouer the house of Iacob for euer, and of his kingdome shall bee none ende. (aiōn g165)
Pelepo chachilulongosya lukosyo lwa che Yakobo moŵa gose pangali mbesi, ni umwenye wakwe ngauika kumbesi.” (aiōn g165)
34 Then sayde Marie vnto the Angel, How shall this be, seeing I knowe not man?
Che Maliamu ŵanjanjile Katumetume jwa kwinani, “Ana chiikomboleche chinauli pakuŵa une ngangummanyilila jwannume?”
35 And the Angel answered, and said vnto her, The holy Ghost shall come vpon thee, and the power of the most High shall ouershadowe thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall bee borne of thee, shall be called the Sonne of God.
Katumetume jwa kwinani ŵanjanjile che Maliamu, “Mbumu jwa Akunnungu chantuluchile ni machili ga Akumanani chigammunichile mpela mmwilili, kwaligongo lyo, mwanache juchapagwe chaŵilanjikwe Jwanswela ni Mwana jwa Akunnungu.
36 And behold, thy cousin Elisabet, she hath also conceiued a sonne in her olde age: and this is her sixt moneth, which was called barren.
Atamuno che Elisabeti, alongo ajenu nombe ŵana chiilu cha mwana jwannume atamuno achekulwipe, awu mwesi wao wa sita kwa jwelejo juŵamanyiche ni ŵandu kuti ngakuŵeleka.
37 For with God shall nothing be vnpossible.
Pakuŵa ngapagwa chindu changachikukomboleka kwa Akunnungu.”
38 Then Marie said, Behold the seruant of the Lord: be it vnto me according to thy woorde. So the Angel departed from her.
Che Maliamu ŵatite, “Une ndili apano kapolo jwa Ambuje, ipanganyiche kwa une mpela intite pakusala.” Nipele katumetume jwa kwinani jula ŵajawile.
39 And Marie arose in those daies, and went into ye hil countrey with hast to a citie of Iuda,
Pangakaŵa, che Maliamu ŵalinganyisye ulendo ni ŵajawile kwa kwanguya mu musi umo wauli mu ikwesya ya ku Yuda.
40 And entred into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabet.
Kweleko, che Maliamu ŵajinjile mu nyuumba ji che Sakalia ni kwakomasya che Elisabeti.
41 And it came to passe, as Elisabet heard the salutation of Marie, the babe sprang in her bellie, and Elisabet was filled with the holy Ghost.
Che Elisabeti paŵapilikene chikomasyo chi che Maliamu, papopo mwanache juŵaliji nnutumbo mu che Elisabeti jwatungunyiche kwa kusangalala. Nombe che Elisabeti ŵalongweswe ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu,
42 And she cried with a loud voice, and saide, Blessed art thou among women, because the fruit of thy wombe is blessed.
ŵanyanyisye, “Mpegwile upile kwapunda achakongwe wose ni jwele juchimummeleche jwana upile.
43 And whence commeth this to mee, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Une ni ŵaani atamuno achikulugwe Ambuje ŵangu aiche kukwangu?
44 For loe, assoone as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine eares, the babe sprang in my bellie for ioye,
Nnole pambilikene pe chikomasyo chenu, kanache kakali nnutumbo mwangu katungunyiche nkusangalala.
45 And blessed is shee that beleeued: for those things shall be perfourmed, which were tolde her from the Lord.
Ndi ni upile mmwejo unkulupilile kuti chigatyochele gantanjile Ambuje.”
46 Then Marie sayde, My soule magnifieth the Lord,
Nombe che Maliamu ŵatite, “Ntima wangu ukwakusya Ambuje,
47 And my spirite reioyceth in God my Sauiour.
ni mbumu jangu jikusangalala ligongo lya Akunnungu, Nkulupusyo jwangu.
48 For hee hath looked on the poore degree of his seruaunt: for beholde, from henceforth shall all ages call me blessed,
Pakuŵa Akunnungu akulolite kwa chanasa kulitulusya kwa kapolo jwao. Kwa yeleyo kutandilila sambano iŵelesi yose chachimilanga jundi ni upile,
49 Because hee that is mightie, hath done for me great things, and holy is his Name.
pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵaali ni Ukombole ambanganyichisye gamakulungwa, liina lyao lili lyeswela.
50 And his mercie is from generation to generation on them that feare him.
Chanasa chao ngachikumala kwa chiŵelesi ni chiŵelesi, kwa ŵandu ŵakwachimbichisya.
51 Hee hath shewed strength with his arme: hee hath scattered the proude in the imagination of their hearts.
Atesile yekulungwa kwa nkono wao, ŵapwilingenye ŵakulikanganichila mu ng'anisyo sya mitima jao.
52 Hee hath put downe the mighty from their seates, and exalted them of lowe degree.
Ŵatulwisye mamwenye mu itengu yao ya umwenye, ni ŵakwesisye ŵandu ŵakulitulusya.
53 Hee hath filled the hungrie with good things, and sent away the rich emptie.
Ŵakulaga ŵajikutisye indu yambone, ni ŵaali ni ipanje ŵalesile ajaule makono pe.
54 Hee hath vpholden Israel his seruaunt to be mindefull of his mercie
Achikamwisye chilambo cha ku Isilaeli katumetume jwao, achikumbuchilaga kwalosya chanasa chao,
kwa che Iblahimu ni uŵelesi wao moŵa gose pangali mbesi mpela iŵatite pakwalanga achambuje ŵetu.” (aiōn g165)
56 And Marie abode with her about three moneths: after, shee returned to her owne house.
Che Maliamu ŵatemi ni che Elisabeti mpela miesi jitatu ni ŵausile kumangwao.
57 Nowe Elisabets time was fulfilled, that shee should be deliuered, and shee brought foorth a sonne.
Kaaiche katema kakuligopola che Elisabeti, ŵaligopwele mwanache jwannume.
58 And her neighbours, and cousins heard tell howe the Lord had shewed his great mercie vpon her, and they reioyced with her.
Ŵapachiŵandi pao ni achalongo achinjao paŵapikene kuti Ambuje ammonele chanasa ni ŵasangalele pamo nawo.
59 And it was so that on the eight day they came to circumcise the babe, and called him Zacharias after the name of his father.
Pagaiche moŵa nane chitandile mwanache kupagwa ŵaiche kukummumbasya. Ŵasachile kwapa liina lya che Sakalia, atatigwe.
60 But his mother answered, and saide, Not so, but he shalbe called Iohn.
Nambo achikulugwe ŵatite, “Ngaŵa, nambo chaŵilanjikwe a Yohana.”
61 And they saide vnto her, There is none of thy kindred, that is named with this name.
Ŵanyawo ŵansalile, “Nambo, ngapagwa mundu jwalijose jwali ni lyele liina mulukosyo lwao.”
62 Then they made signes to his father, howe he would haue him called.
Pelepo ŵammusisye atatigwe kwa imanyisyo kuti asale liina chi lyasachile ŵaŵilanjile mwanagwao.
63 So hee asked for writing tables, and wrote, saying, His name is Iohn, and they marueiled all.
Nombewo ŵaŵilasisye chibao pa kulembelela, ni ŵalembile yeleyi, “Liina lyakwe a Yohana.” Wose ni ŵasimonjile.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake and praised God.
Papopo pepo che Sakalia ŵatandite sooni kuŵecheta achalapaga Akunnungu.
65 Then feare came on all them that dwelt neere vnto them, and all these woordes were noised abroade throughout all the hill countrey of Iudea.
Ŵandu wose ŵaŵatamaga pachiŵandi nawo ŵajinjilwe ni lipamba ni ngani syo syakunguluchilwe mbande syose mu chilambo cha ikwesya ya ku Yudea.
66 And al they that heard them, laid them vp in their hearts, saying, What maner childe shall this be! and the hand of the Lord was with him.
Ŵandu wose ŵaŵapikene yeleyo, ŵaganisisye mmitima jao achiliusyaga, “Ana mwanache ju chaaŵe jwantiuli?” Pakuŵa, isyene machili ga Ambuje galiji pamo nawo.
67 Then his father Zacharias was filled with the holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
Che Sakalia, atatigwe jwele mwanache jo, ŵalongweswe ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni ŵalondwele achitiji,
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, because he hath visited and redeemed his people,
“Twakusye Ambuje, Akunnungu ŵa ku Isilaeli, pakuŵa ŵaichilile ni kwawombola ŵandu ŵakwe.
69 And hath raised vp the horne of saluation vnto vs, in the house of his seruant Dauid,
Atupele Nkulupusyo jwaali ni machili, jwa uŵelesi u che Daudi katumetume jwao.
70 As he spake by ye mouth of his holy Prophets, which were since the world began, saying, (aiōn g165)
Mpela iŵatite pakusala kalakala, kwa kang'wa sya ŵakulondola ŵao ŵaswela, (aiōn g165)
71 That he would sende vs deliuerance from our enemies, and from the hands of all that hate vs,
kuti chachitukulupusya mmakono mwa ŵammagongo ŵetu, ni ŵandu ŵakutuchima.
72 That he might shewe mercie towards our fathers, and remember his holy couenant,
Ŵaŵechete kuti chalosye chanasa chao kwa achambuje ŵetu, ni kulikumbuchila lilangano lyao lyeswela.
73 And the othe which he sware to our father Abraham.
Ŵaalumbilile ambuje ŵetu che Iblahimu, kuti chatupe uwe upile.
74 Which was, that he would graunt vnto vs, that we being deliuered out of the handes of our enemies, should serue him without feare,
Chatukulupusye mmakono mwa ŵammagongo ŵetu, ni kwapopelela pangali lipamba,
75 All the daies of our life, in holinesse and righteousnesse before him.
mu uswela ni umbone, moŵa gose ga umi wetu.
76 And thou, babe, shalt be called the Prophet of the most High: for thou shalt goe before the face of the Lord, to prepare his waies,
Nomwe mwanangu chimmilanjikwe, jwakulondola jwa Akumanani, chimwalongolele Ambuje ni kwakolochesya litala lyao,
77 And to giue knowledge of saluation vnto his people, by the remission of their sinnes,
ni kwamanyisya ŵandu ŵao kuti chiŵakulupusye kwa kwalechelesya sambi syao.
78 Through ye tender mercy of our God, wherby the day spring from an hie hath visited vs,
Akunnungu ŵetu chatende yeleyo ligongo akwete ntima wa unonyelo ni wa chanasa, ni chiwombolo kutyochela kwinani chichituichilile mpela lulanga lwa lyuŵa lya kundaŵi,
79 To giue light to them that sit in darknes, and in the shadow of death, and to guide our feete into the way of peace.
ni kwalanguchisya wose ŵakutama mu chipi chekulungwa cha chiwa, chatulongosye kutama mu utame wa chitendewele.”
80 And the childe grewe, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the wildernesse, til the day came that he should shewe him selfe vnto Israel.
Mwanache jwakusile ni kulimbichika mmbumu mwakwe. Jwatemi mwipululu mpaka lyuŵa liŵalilosisye kwa ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli.
