Luke 1
1 Forasmuch as many haue taken in hand to set foorth the storie of those things, whereof we are fully persuaded,
Go tsala e e ratang Modimo. Dipolelo tse dintsi kaga Keresete di setse di kwadilwe di dirisiwa ka maitshegeletso a tsone jaaka dipolelo mo go rona go tswa mo barutweng ba pele le ba bangwe ba ba di boneng ka matlho.
2 As they haue deliuered them vnto vs, which from the beginning saw them their selues, and were ministers of ye word,
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,
Le fa go ntse jalo, go ne ga diragala mo go nna gore go ka siama fa nka boelela dipolelo tse gape go simolola ka palo ya ntlha go ya kwa go ya bofelo morago ga tlhotlhomiso tota ke be ke lo bolelela polelo e.
4 That thou mightest acknowledge the certaintie of those things, whereof thou hast bene instructed.
Go lo tlhomamisetsa boammaaruri kaga se lo se rutilweng.
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.
Polelo ya me e simologa ka Moperesiti wa Sejuta, ebong Sakarea yo o tshedileng ka lobaka lwa Herode e le kgosi ya Judea. Sakarea e ne e le leloko la batsamaisi ba Tempele ya ga Abija, (mosadi wa gagwe Elisabetha le ene o ne a tshwana le ene e le leloko la baperesiti ba morafe wa Sejuta, wa losika lwa ga Arone.)
6 Both were iust before God, and walked in all the commandements and ordinances of the Lord, without reproofe.
Sakarea le Elisabetha e ne e le batho ba ba boifang Modimo, ba tlhokometse go utlwa melao yotlhe ya Modimo mo moweng le mo lokwalong.
7 And they had no childe, because that Elisabet was barren: and both were well stricken in age.
Mme ba ne ba sena bana, gonne Elisabetha e ne e le moopa; mme ka bobedi jwa bone ba bo ba tsofetse thata.
8 And it came to passe, as he executed the Priestes office before God, as his course came in order,
Ka letsatsi lengwe ya re Sakarea a tsamaisa tiro ya gagwe mo Templeng, gonne lesomo la gagwe le ne le le mo tirong mo bekeng eo, tlotlego ya mo tlela ya go tsena mo felong ga Boitshepo go ya go fisa mashwalo fa Pele ga Modimo.
9 According to the custome of the Priests office, his lot was to burne incense, when he went into the Temple of the Lord.
10 And the whole multitude of the people were without in prayer, while the incense was burning.
Ka lobakanyana, bontsi jwa kokoano ya batho jwa emela kwa ntle ga Tempele, ba rapela jaaka ba tle ba dire fa mashwalo a fisiwa.
11 Then appeared vnto him an Angel of the Lord standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
Sakarea o ne a le mo felong ga boitshepo fa ka tshoganetso Moengele a iponatsa mo go ene, a eme ka fa letsogong le legolo la sebeso sa ma-shwalo! Sakarea o ne a tshogile ebile a gamaregile.
12 And when Zacharias sawe him, he was troubled, and feare fell vpon him.
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.
Mme moengele a mo raya a re, “Se boife, Sakarea! Gonne ke tletse go go bolelela gore Modimo o utlwile thapelo ya gago le mosadi wa gago Elisabetha o tlaa tshola ngwana wa mosimane! Mme o tlaa mo raya leina o re Johane.
14 And thou shalt haue ioy and gladnes, and many shall reioyce at his birth.
Ka bobedi jwa lona lo tlaa nna le boipelo jo bogolo le boitumelo ka botsalo jwa gagwe, mme ba le bantsi ba tla ipela le lona.
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.
Gonne e tlaa nna mongwe wa batho ba bagolo ba Morena. A se ka a nwa mofine kgotsa seno se se tagisang-gonne o sa le a tladitswe ka Mowa o o Boitshepo, le e leng pele ga a tsalwa!
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turne to their Lord God.
Mme o tlaa tlhotlheletsa Bajuta ba le bantsi go sokologela mo go Morena Modimo wa gagwe.
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.
E tlaa nna motho yo o mowa o makgawekgawe a nonofile jaaka Elija, moporofiti yo mogolo; mme o tlaa etelela pele go tla ga ga Mesia, a baakanyetsa batho go goroga ga gagwe. O tlaa ba ruta go rata Morena fela jaaka bagolwane ba bone ba ne ba dira, le go tshela jaaka batho ba ba boifang Mo-dimo.”
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.
Hong Sakarea a raya moengele a re, “Mme mo ga go kgonege! Ke setse ke le monna mogolo jaanong, le mosadi wa me le ene o tsofetse.”
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.
Hong moengele a mo raya a re, “Ke Gabariele ke eme sentle fa pele ga Modimo. Ke one o o ntho-mileng kwa go wena ka mafoko a a molemo a!
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.
Mme jaanong, ka gore ga o a ka wa ntumela, o tlaa dirwa semumu, o tlaa palelwa ke go bua go fitlhelela ngwana a tsholwa. Gonne mafoko a me a tlaa diragala ka nako e e leng yone.”
21 Now the people waited for Zacharias, and marueiled that he taried so long in the Temple.
Ka lobakanyana kokoano ya batho kwa ntle ba bo ba letile Sakarea go boa, ebile ba gakgametse gore ke eng fa a diegile.
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.
Ya re a tswa a bo a palelwa, ke go bua nabo, jalo ba lemoga fa a bonye ponatshegelo mo tempeleng. Ene a nna a ba gwetlha fela a ntse.
23 And it came to passe, when the daies of his office were fulfilled, that he departed to his owne house.
Hong a nna mo Tempeleng selekanyo sa malatsi a a setseng a tiro ya gagwe ya Tempele mme morago a boela gae.
24 And after those daies, his wife Elisabet conceiued, and hid her selfe fiue moneths, saying,
Ka bonako morago ga lobaka Elisabetha mosadi wa gagwe a ithwala a nna a le nosi selekanyo sa kgwedi tse tlhano.
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me, in the daies wherein he looked on me, to take from me my rebuke among men.
“A goa” a re, “Morena o pelotlhomogi mo go kae, go ntsha tlotlologo ya me ya go tlhoka bana!”
26 And in the sixth moneth, the Angell Gabriel was sent from God vnto a citie of Galile, named Nazareth,
Kgwedi e e latelang Modimo wa roma moengele Gabariele kwa Nasaretha, motse wa Galalea,
27 To a virgin affianced to a man whose name was Ioseph, of the house of Dauid, and the virgins name was Marie.
kwa kgarebaneng, Marea, yo o neng a beeletswe go nyalwa ke monna yo o neng a bidiwa Josefe, wa lotso lwa ga Kgosi Dafide.
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.
Gabariele a iponatsa mo go ene a re, “A go nne boitumelo kgarebane e e rategang! Morena o na le wena!”
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and thought what maner of salutation that should be.
Marea o ne a tshwenyegile thata fa a leka go akanya se moengele a ka neng a se raya.
30 Then the Angel saide vnto her, Feare not, Marie: for thou hast found fauour with God.
Moengele a mo raya a re, “Se tshoge Marea, gonne Modimo o thata.
31 For loe, thou shalt conceiue in thy wobe, and beare a sonne, and shalt call his name Iesus.
Ka bonako jaanong o tlaa ithwala mme o tlaa nna le ngwana wa mosimane, mme o tlaa mo raya leina o re ‘Jesu’
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.
O tlaa nna mogolo thata mme o tlaa bidiwa Morwa Modimo. Mme Morena Modimo o tlaa mo naya setilo sa bogosi sa mogolwagolwane wa gagwe Dafide.
33 And hee shall reigne ouer the house of Iacob for euer, and of his kingdome shall bee none ende. (aiōn g165)
O tlaa busa mo Iseraela ka bosakhutleng, Bogosi jwa gagwe ga bo kitla bo fela!” (aiōn g165)
34 Then sayde Marie vnto the Angel, How shall this be, seeing I knowe not man?
Mme Marea a botsa moengele a re, “Ke ka nna jang le ngwana? ke le kgarebane.”
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.
Moengele a mo fetola a re, “Mowa o o Boitshepo o tlaa tla mo go wena, le nonofo ya Modimo e tlaa go apesa, jalo ngwana yo o tlaa mo tsholang o tlaa ba a le boitshepo e le Morwa Modimo.
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.
Mo godimo ga moo, Elisabetha ntsalao wa ‘moopa’ jaaka a bidiwa-o setse a na le dikgwedi di le thataro a ithwele mo botsofeng ja gagwe!
37 For with God shall nothing be vnpossible.
Gonne tsholofetso nngwe le nngwe e e tswang mo Modimong e tlaa diragala.”
38 Then Marie said, Behold the seruant of the Lord: be it vnto me according to thy woorde. So the Angel departed from her.
Mme Marea a re, “Ke motlhanka wa Morena e bile ke batla go dira sengwe le sengwe se o se batlang. A sengwe le sengwe se o se buileng se diragale.” Hong moengele a nyelela.
39 And Marie arose in those daies, and went into ye hil countrey with hast to a citie of Iuda,
Morago ga malatsi a se kae Marea a itlhaganelela kwa makhubung a Judea kwa motseng o Sakarea o neng a nna mo go one, go etela Elisabetha.
40 And entred into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabet.
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.
Mme ya re Elisabetha a utlwa tumediso ya ga Marea, ngwana a tlola mo sebopelong sa gagwe mme Elisabetha a tlala Mowa o o Boitshepo.
42 And she cried with a loud voice, and saide, Blessed art thou among women, because the fruit of thy wombe is blessed.
A tshega ka boitumelo a raya Marea a re, “o ratilwe ke Modimo mo basading botlhe, le ngwana, wa gago, o tlhologeletswe kgalalelo ya Modimo e kgolo.
43 And whence commeth this to mee, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Ana ke tlotlo e kgolo thata jang, e Mma-Morena wa me o nketetseng ka yone!
44 For loe, assoone as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine eares, the babe sprang in my bellie for ioye,
Erile fa ke utlwa lentswe la gago ka nako e o neng o ntumedisa ka yone, ngwana a tlola mo sebopelong sa me ka boitumelo!
45 And blessed is shee that beleeued: for those things shall be perfourmed, which were tolde her from the Lord.
O dumetse gore Modimo o tlaa dira se o se buileng; ke ka moo o go neileng letlhogonolo le le gakgamatsang le.”
46 Then Marie sayde, My soule magnifieth the Lord,
Marea a fetola a re, “Ao, ke galaletsa Morena jang.
47 And my spirite reioyceth in God my Sauiour.
Ke itumela jang mo Modimong Mmoloki!
48 For hee hath looked on the poore degree of his seruaunt: for beholde, from henceforth shall all ages call me blessed,
Gonne o tlhokometse motlhanka wa one wa morweetsana, le jaanong kokomana morago ga kokomana go ya bosakhutleng ba tlaa mpitsa mosegofadiwa wa Modimo.
49 Because hee that is mightie, hath done for me great things, and holy is his Name.
“Gonne ene yo mogolo yo o boitshepo, o ntiretse dilo tse dikgolo.
50 And his mercie is from generation to generation on them that feare him.
Boutlwelo-botlhoko jwa gagwe bo tsamaya go tsweng kokomaneng go ya kokomaneng, mo go botlhe ba ba o boifang:
51 Hee hath shewed strength with his arme: hee hath scattered the proude in the imagination of their hearts.
“Nonofo ya letsogo la gagwe e kgolo jang! O faladitse baikgantshi le ba ba ikgodisang.
52 Hee hath put downe the mighty from their seates, and exalted them of lowe degree.
O digile dikgosi tse di kgolo mo ditilong tsa tsone tsa bogosi mme o godisitse ba ba ingotlileng.
53 Hee hath filled the hungrie with good things, and sent away the rich emptie.
O kgorisitse dipelo tse di bolailweng ke tlala mme o busitse bahumi ba sa tsaya sepe.
54 Hee hath vpholden Israel his seruaunt to be mindefull of his mercie
Ebile o thusitse motlhanka wa gagwe Iseraele jang! Ga a ka a lebala tsholofetso ya kutlwelo-botlhoko.
“Gonne o solofeditse bo rraarona-Aberahame le bana ba gagwe go nna kutlwelo-botlhoko mo go bone go ya bosakhutleng.” (aiōn g165)
56 And Marie abode with her about three moneths: after, shee returned to her owne house.
Marea a nna le Elisabetha selekanyo sa dikgwedi tse tharo mme a boela kwa legaeng la gagwe.
57 Nowe Elisabets time was fulfilled, that shee should be deliuered, and shee brought foorth a sonne.
Ka nako e, tebelelo ya ga Elisabetha e ne e setse e wetse, ka gore lobaka lo ne lo setse lo fitlhile lwa ngwana gore a tsholwe mme ya bo e le mosimane.
58 And her neighbours, and cousins heard tell howe the Lord had shewed his great mercie vpon her, and they reioyced with her.
Mme lefoko la anamela ka bonako kwa go bangwe ka ene le ba losika gore Morena o mo diretse molemo go le kae, mme mongwe le mongwe a itumela.
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.
E rile fa ngwana a na le malatsi a fera bobedi botlhe ba losika le ditsala ba tla modirong wa thupiso. Botlhe ba ne ba ithaya ba re leina la ngwana e tlaa nna Sakarea, a reelelwa rraagwe.
60 But his mother answered, and saide, Not so, but he shalbe called Iohn.
Mme Elisabetha a re, “Nnyaa! O tshwanetse go bidiwa Johane!”
61 And they saide vnto her, There is none of thy kindred, that is named with this name.
Mme ba gakgamala ba re, “Wa reng? Ga go na ope mo go ba gaeno wa leina leo.”
62 Then they made signes to his father, howe he would haue him called.
Jalo ba botsa rangwana, ba bua le ene ka diatla.
63 So hee asked for writing tables, and wrote, saying, His name is Iohn, and they marueiled all.
Mme a kopa pampiri e e kwalelang mme mo kgakgamalong ya mongwe le mongwe a kwala a re, “Leina la gagwe ke Johane!”
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake and praised God.
Ka bonako Sakarea a kgona go bua gape, mme a simolola go baka Modimo.
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.
Kgakgamalo ya wela botlhe ba ba agileng gaufi, mme mafoko a se se diregileng a anama le dithota tsa Judea.
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.
Mme batho botlhe ba ba utlwileng kaga gone, ba akanya ka boleele ba ipotsa ba re, “Re a gakgamala gore ngwana yo o tsile go nna eng? Gonne letsogo la Morena ruri le mo okame ka mokgwa mongwe wa botlhokwa.”
67 Then his father Zacharias was filled with the holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
Hong rraagwe ebong Sakarea a tlala Mowa o o Boitshepo mme a ntsha polelopele e e reng:
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, because he hath visited and redeemed his people,
Bakang Modimo, Morena wa Iseraele gonne o tsile go etela batho ba gagwe mme o ba golotse.
69 And hath raised vp the horne of saluation vnto vs, in the house of his seruant Dauid,
O re romeletse Mmoloki yo o senatla a tswa mo losikeng lwa motlhanka wa gagwe Dafide,
70 As he spake by ye mouth of his holy Prophets, which were since the world began, saying, (aiōn g165)
fela jaaka a solofeditse ka baporofiti ba gagwe ba ba boitshepo mo lobakeng lo lo fetileng (aiōn g165)
71 That he would sende vs deliuerance from our enemies, and from the hands of all that hate vs,
gore o tlaa re romelela mongwe yo o tlaa re gololang mo babeng ba rona, le mo go botlhe ba ba re ilang.
72 That he might shewe mercie towards our fathers, and remember his holy couenant,
“O na a le kutlwelobotlhoko mo bagolwaneng ba rona, ee, mo go Aberahame ka bo ene, ka go gakologelwa tsholofetso ya gagwe e e boitshepo mo go ene,
73 And the othe which he sware to our father Abraham.
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,
le go re naya tshwanelo ya go direla Modimo kwa ntle ga poifo, re golotswe mo babeng ba rona.
75 All the daies of our life, in holinesse and righteousnesse before him.
Le go re dira boitshepo le go amogelesega, re siametse go ema fa pele ga one ka bosakhutleng.
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,
“Mme wena morwaaka yo mmotlana, o tlaa bidiwa moporofiti wa Modimo o o galalelang, gonne o tlaa baakanya ditsela tsa ga Mesia.
77 And to giue knowledge of saluation vnto his people, by the remission of their sinnes,
O tlaa bolelela batho ba one ka fa ba ka bonang poloko ka teng ka boitshwarelo jwa dibe.
78 Through ye tender mercy of our God, wherby the day spring from an hie hath visited vs,
Gotlhe mo go tlaa nna ka ntlha ya gore boutlwelo-botlhoko jwa Modimo wa rona bo bonolo thata, e bile bosa jwa legodimo bo tlaa re sela.
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.
Go bonesetsa ba ba ntseng mo lefifing la moruti wa loso, le go re goga mo tseleng ya kagiso.”
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.
Mme e rile ngwana a sena go gola a rata Modimo thata. A nna kwa ntle mo sekakeng a le esi go fitlhelela a simolola thuto ya gagwe mo Iseraele.
