Luke 1
1 Forasmuch as many haue taken in hand to set foorth the storie of those things, whereof we are fully persuaded,
Mkulungu Teofili. Vandu vamahele valingi kuyandika bwina mambu gegahengiki pagati yitu.
2 As they haue deliuered them vnto vs, which from the beginning saw them their selues, and were ministers of ye word,
Vayandiki ngati chevatijovili vevagaweni penapo pegatumbukini magono ga mumbele mambu genago na kuvakokosela lilovi la Chapanga.
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,
Mewa na Mkulungu Teofili penamali kulolokesa uchakaka waki kwa magono gamahele, nilola mbanga nikuyandikila veve kwa uchakaka waki.
4 That thou mightest acknowledge the certaintie of those things, whereof thou hast bene instructed.
Nikiti chenichi muni nigana wamwene umanyayi mambu goha gevakuwulili.
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.
Lukumbi Helodi peavi Nkosi wa ku Yudea, ndi pavi na Mteta wa Chapanga mweikemiwa Zakalia wa chikundi cha uteta cha Abiya, na mdala waki avi Elizabeti wa lukolo lwa Aloni.
6 Both were iust before God, and walked in all the commandements and ordinances of the Lord, without reproofe.
Voha vavili vahenga ga kumganisa Chapanga na kuyidakila mihilu na malagizu ga Bambu changabuda.
7 And they had no childe, because that Elisabet was barren: and both were well stricken in age.
Vavi lepi na mwana mbaka muugogolo wavi, ndava Elizabeti avi lepi na chiveleku.
8 And it came to passe, as he executed the Priestes office before God, as his course came in order,
Ligono limonga, Zakalia peavi mukuhenga lihengu laki la uteta mu Nyumba ya Chapanga,
9 According to the custome of the Priests office, his lot was to burne incense, when he went into the Temple of the Lord.
Ngati cheyavili mivelu ya vamteta va Chapanga, Zakalia ahaguliwi kwa gudugudu kuyingila mu Nyumba ya Bambu ndava ya kuhukisa ubani.
10 And the whole multitude of the people were without in prayer, while the incense was burning.
Na lukumbi lwa kuhukisa ubani palwahikili, vala voha vevakonganiki kumuyupa Chapanga vavi cha kuvala vayupayi.
11 Then appeared vnto him an Angel of the Lord standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Bambu, akamuhumila na kuyima upandi wa kulyela wa lusanja lwa luteta lwa kuhukisa ubani.
12 And when Zacharias sawe him, he was troubled, and feare fell vpon him.
Zakalia peamuweni mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga yula, akakenyemuka.
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.
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akamjovela, “Zakalia, kotoka kuyogopa muni Bambu ayuwini chawamuyupili, ndava mdala waku Elizabeti yati akubabila mwana mgosi na veve walamkemela Yohani.
14 And thou shalt haue ioy and gladnes, and many shall reioyce at his birth.
Ndi wamwene yati uheka pavaha na vandu vamahele valahekelela ndava ya kuvelekewa kwaki.
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.
Mwenuyo yati ivya mkulu, pamihu ga Bambu, alanywa lepi divayi wala ugimbi, yati ilongoswa na Mpungu Msopi kuhumila mulileme la nyina waki.
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turne to their Lord God.
Yati akuvawuyisa vandu vamahele wa pa Isilaeli, vamuwuyilayi Bambu Chapanga wavi.
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.
Yati akumlongolela Bambu kuni ilongosiwa na makakala na Mpungu ngati Eliya. Ndava ya kuvatepulanisa vadadi na vana vavi, yati avakita vangamyidakila vavyayi na luhala ngati lwa vala vevakumyidikila, na kumtendelekela Bambu vandu vaki.”
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.
Zakalia akamkota Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga, “Yati nimanya wuli ngati givya chenicho? Muni nene na mdala wangu tavagogolo.”
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.
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akayangula, “Nene na Gabulieli na mtumisi wa Chapanga. Ndi anitumili nijova na veve nikujovela lilovi la bwina lenili.
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.
Yuwanila, yati wivya ngajova yati nakuhotola kujova, mbaka ligono lila pegihumila ago ndava ubeli kunisadika malovi gangu gene gihumila palukumbi lwaki.”
21 Now the people waited for Zacharias, and marueiled that he taried so long in the Temple.
Lukumbi lwenulo vandu vevamulindilayi Zakalia kuvala vakakangasa, muni atamakisi lukumbi lutali mu Nyumba ya Chapanga.
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.
Peahumili kuvala nakuhotola kujova na vayaki, vayaki vakamanya kuvya mu Nyumba ya Chapanga mula, muyavi agaweni maono ndi akayendelela kulangisa na mawoko muni avi ngajova.
23 And it came to passe, when the daies of his office were fulfilled, that he departed to his owne house.
Lukumbi lwaki lwa kuhenga lihengu la uteta palwamaliki, akawuya kunyumba yaki.
24 And after those daies, his wife Elisabet conceiued, and hid her selfe fiue moneths, saying,
Lukumbi luhupi palwamaliki Elizabeti mdala wa Zakalia yula akavya na ndumbu, akawela munyumba miheyi mhanu,
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me, in the daies wherein he looked on me, to take from me my rebuke among men.
kuni ajova “Bambu anitangatili na aniloli, hinu cheaniwusili soni pavandu!”
26 And in the sixth moneth, the Angell Gabriel was sent from God vnto a citie of Galile, named Nazareth,
Mu mwehi wa sita, Chapanga amtumili mtumu waki wa kunani Gabulieli kumuji wa Nazaleti, 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.
Kwa kamwali mmonga mwavamkemela Maliya, Mwenuyo ahongiwi na mgosi mmonga liina laki Yosefu wa lukolo lwa 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.
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga Akamuhegelela akamjambusa, “Tikuwoni! Bambu avi pamonga na veve kangi akugubiki uganu waki!”
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and thought what maner of salutation that should be.
Maliya peayuwini malovi gala, akakenyemuka, akahololela, jambusa yeniyi mana yaki kyani?
30 Then the Angel saide vnto her, Feare not, Marie: for thou hast found fauour with God.
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akamjovela, “Kotoka kuyogopa Maliya, muni Chapanga aganisiwi na veve.
31 For loe, thou shalt conceiue in thy wobe, and beare a sonne, and shalt call his name Iesus.
Walavya na ndumbu, walaveleka mwana mgosi, yati ukumkemela liina laki 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.
Mwenuyo yati ivya mkulu, yati ikemelewa Mwana wa Chapanga Mkulu. Bambu Chapanga yati amuvika kuvya Nkosi, ngati cheamuviki Nkosi Daudi mweavi gogo waki.
33 And hee shall reigne ouer the house of Iacob for euer, and of his kingdome shall bee none ende. (aiōn g165)
Ndi yati ivya Nkosi wa lukolo lwa Yakobo magono goha, na unkosi waki wangali na mwishu!” (aiōn g165)
34 Then sayde Marie vnto the Angel, How shall this be, seeing I knowe not man?
Maliya akamyangula, “Genago galavya wuli, muni nene nangammanya mgosi?”
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.
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akayangula, “Mpungu Msopi yati ukuhelelela, na uhotola waki Chapanga Mkulu walakugubika ngati chimuwili, muni mwana mweubwela kumveleka uyo, yati ikemelawa msopi na Mwana wa Chapanga.
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.
Hati mlongo waku Elizabeti, agegi ndumbu ya mwana mgosi na hinu mumwehi wa sita, pamonga na ugogolo waki, mweamanyikini na vandu kuvya ngaveleka.
37 For with God shall nothing be vnpossible.
Muni kawaka lilovi langahotoleka kwa Chapanga.”
38 Then Marie said, Behold the seruant of the Lord: be it vnto me according to thy woorde. So the Angel departed from her.
Maliya akajova, “Nene nivii penapa namvanda wa bambu, nikitiwayi ngati chaukajovili.” Ndi mtumi wa kunani kwa Chapanga akawuka.
39 And Marie arose in those daies, and went into ye hil countrey with hast to a citie of Iuda,
Ndi lwapiti lepi lukumbi lutali, Maliya akapanganyika akayumbatika kuhamba kumuji wewavi kuvidunda vya ku Yudea.
40 And entred into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabet.
Kwenuko akayingila munyumba ya Zakalia akamjambusa Elizabeti.
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.
Bahapo Elizabeti peayuwini jambusa ya Maliya, kamwana kakahumba chaluheku mulileme la Elizabeti. Elizabeti akalongoswa Mpungu Msopi
42 And she cried with a loud voice, and saide, Blessed art thou among women, because the fruit of thy wombe is blessed.
akajova kwa lwami luvaha, “Umotisiwi kuliku vadala voha, na mweubwela kumveleka huyo amotisiwi!
43 And whence commeth this to mee, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Nene nayani hati nyina wa Bambu wangu anibwelili?
44 For loe, assoone as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine eares, the babe sprang in my bellie for ioye,
Nikujovela, panayuwini jambusa yaku, kamwana kakahumba mulileme langu chaluheku.
45 And blessed is shee that beleeued: for those things shall be perfourmed, which were tolde her from the Lord.
Umotisiwi veve mweusadika kuvya yati gihumila gala geakujovili Bambu.”
46 Then Marie sayde, My soule magnifieth the Lord,
Maliya akajova, “Mtima wangu ukumlumba Bambu,
47 And my spirite reioyceth in God my Sauiour.
mpungu wangu umhekela Bambu, ndava Msangula wangu.
48 For hee hath looked on the poore degree of his seruaunt: for beholde, from henceforth shall all ages call me blessed,
Muni aulolili cha lipyana ungolongondi wa mvanda waki! Kutumbula hinu viveleku vyoha yati vakunikemela mwenisangalwiki,
49 Because hee that is mightie, hath done for me great things, and holy is his Name.
ndava muni Chapanga ana makakala anihengili gakulu, na liina laki ndi msopi
50 And his mercie is from generation to generation on them that feare him.
Chivelekelu mbaka chivelekelu mwene magono goha avi na lipyana kwa vandu vevakumtopesa.
51 Hee hath shewed strength with his arme: hee hath scattered the proude in the imagination of their hearts.
Alangisi makakala gaki kwa kukita mambu gakulu. Avapechengini vevimeka mumaholo ga mitima yavi.
52 Hee hath put downe the mighty from their seates, and exalted them of lowe degree.
Avahelisi vankosi vana makakala kuhumila muvigoda vya kulongosa, na avakwesi vevavi ngolongondi.
53 Hee hath filled the hungrie with good things, and sent away the rich emptie.
Vangangu avayukutisi mambu gabwina, na vana vindu vyamahele avalekili vahamba mawoko gawaka.
54 Hee hath vpholden Israel his seruaunt to be mindefull of his mercie
Amtangatili mulima wa Isilaeli mtumi waki. Akumbwiki lipyana laki,
Ngati chaajovili kuvya na lipyana kwa Ibulahimu na chivelekelu chaki, magono goha.” (aiōn g165)
56 And Marie abode with her about three moneths: after, shee returned to her owne house.
Maliya akatama kwa Elizabeti ngati miyehi yidatu, ndi akawuya kunyumba yaki.
57 Nowe Elisabets time was fulfilled, that shee should be deliuered, and shee brought foorth a sonne.
Palwahiki lukumbi lwa Elizabeti kuveleka ndi akavya na mwana mgosi.
58 And her neighbours, and cousins heard tell howe the Lord had shewed his great mercie vpon her, and they reioyced with her.
Vandu va mu lukolo na veitamanila nawu papipi, pevayuwini Bambu amkitili lipyana neju, voha vakahekelela pamonga nayu.
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.
Ligono la nane vakabwela kumdumula jandu mwana, vaganayi kumpela liina Zakalia, liina la dadi waki.
60 But his mother answered, and saide, Not so, but he shalbe called Iohn.
Nambu nyina waki akajova, “Lepi, mwenuyu ikemelewa Yohani.”
61 And they saide vnto her, There is none of thy kindred, that is named with this name.
Vakamjovela, “Kawaka mu lukolo lwaki mweavi na liina ngati lenili!”
62 Then they made signes to his father, howe he would haue him called.
Hinu vakamkota dadi waki chakumlangisa, muni vamanyayi aganili kumpela liina loki.
63 So hee asked for writing tables, and wrote, saying, His name is Iohn, and they marueiled all.
Zakalia akayupa chibawu cha kuyandikila, akayandika, “Liina laki Yohani.” Vandu voha vakakangasa!
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake and praised God.
Bahapo mlomo wa Zakalia akatumbula kulongela kangi akamulumba Chapanga.
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.
Vandu voha veatama nawu vakavya na wogohi, mambu ago gakalongaleka mulima woha wa vidunda vya 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.
Vandu voha vevayuwini mambu genago, vakaholalela mumitima yavi na kukotana vene kwa vene mumitima yavi, “Mwe mwana uyu yati ivya wuli?” Chakaka, makakala ga Bambu gavi pamonga na mwene.
67 Then his father Zacharias was filled with the holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
Zakalia dadi mwana yula akalongoswa na Mpungu Msopi akatumbula kulotela ulota uwu.
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, because he hath visited and redeemed his people,
“Ulumbiwa Bambu Chapanga wa Isilaeli! Ndava ubweli kuvatangatila vandu vaki na kuvagombola.
69 And hath raised vp the horne of saluation vnto vs, in the house of his seruant Dauid,
Atipeli Msangula mkekesi, mu chiveleku cha Daudi mtumisi waki.
70 As he spake by ye mouth of his holy Prophets, which were since the world began, saying, (aiōn g165)
Ndi atijovili kadeni munjila ya vamlota vaki va msopi, (aiōn g165)
71 That he would sende vs deliuerance from our enemies, and from the hands of all that hate vs,
Yati atisangula kuhuma mu mawoko ga makoko gitu, na mumakakala ga voha vavakutihakalila.
72 That he might shewe mercie towards our fathers, and remember his holy couenant,
Ajovili yati avakitila lipyana vagogo vitu na akulihololela lilaganu laki la msopi.
73 And the othe which he sware to our father Abraham.
Chilapu alapili kwa dadi witu Ibulahimu, kuvya akutitangatila tete
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,
tigomboka kuhuma mu mawoko ga makoko gitu, na timugundamila changali wogohi,
75 All the daies of our life, in holinesse and righteousnesse before him.
muusopi na kukita gegakumganisa Chapanga, magono goha ga wumi witu.”
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,
“Wamwanangu veve, yati ukemelewa, mlota wa Chapanga mkulu, ndava walamlongolela Bambu kumkwalila njila yaki,
77 And to giue knowledge of saluation vnto his people, by the remission of their sinnes,
na kuvakokosela vandu kuvya valasanguliwa kwa kulekekesewa kumbudila Chapanga wavi.
78 Through ye tender mercy of our God, wherby the day spring from an hie hath visited vs,
Chapanga witu yati ikita genago ndava lipyana ya mtima waki wa ngolongondi. Usangula waki yati ubwela kuhuma kunani ngati lumuli chelulangasa chelihumila lilanga,
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.
na kuvalangasila voha vevitama muchitita chikulu cha lifwa, na kutilongosa titama wumi wa uteke.”
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.
Mwana yula akakula, na akakangamala mumpungu waki. Akatama kulugangatu mbaka ligono paajilangisi pavandu va pa Isilaeli.
