Luke 1
1 Inasmuch as many took it in hand to present a history concerning these things which have been fulfilled among us,
Kanao maro ty nandrambe am-pitàñe handahatse talily amo raha atokisantikañeo
2 as those being eyewitnesses and ministers of the Word have delivered unto us;
manahake ty nitaroña’ iareo ama’ay, ie nivalolombeloñe boak’am-baloha’e nimpitoroñe i tsaray ama’ay,
3 it seemed good to me also, having followed carefully all things from the beginning, to write unto thee consecutively, O most noble Theophilus,
le satriko ka, ie hinotsohotsoko boak’ am-baloha’e i hene rezay, ty hanokitse talily soa filahatse ho azo, ry roandria Teofilo,
4 in order that thou mayest know the certainty of the words concerning which thou hast been instructed.
hahafohina’o ty hatò’ i tsara nañohañe azoy.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Ahijah, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.
Teo tañ’andro’ i Heroda mpanjaka’ Iehodà, ty mpisoroñe atao Zakaria, am-pirimboña’ i Abia; boak’ amo anak’ ampela’ i Aroneo ty tañanjomba’e, i Elizabeta ty tahina’e.
6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord, blameless.
Songa vantañe añatrefan’ Añahare iereo roroe; tsy amam-pitsikoañe ty fañaveloa’iareo amo lily naho fepè’ Iehovào.
7 And there was no child to them, as Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in their days.
Tsy nanañ’ anake fa betsiterake t’i Elizabeta vaho sambe nigain-kantetse ie roroe.
8 And it came to pass, while he was officiating in the order of his course before God,
Aa ie nitoroñe ami’ty naham-pisoroñe aze añatrefan’Añahare ami’ty fifandimbezam-pirimboña’e t’i Zakaria;
9 (according to the custom of the priesthood he was chosen by lot to offer incense), having gone into the temple of the Lord;
le amy lilim-pisoroñañey, nitsatok’ ama’e ty hañemboke, le nimoak’ an-kibohon’ Añahare ao,
10 and all the multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense;
vaho hene nilolok’ alafe’e ao i màroy amy fotoam-pañembohañey.
11 the angel of the Lord appeared unto him standing on the right hand of the altar of incense:
Nisodeha ama’e amy zao ty anjeli’ i Talè, nijohañe an-kavana’ i kitrelim-pañembohañey.
12 and Zacharias was troubled seeing him, and fear fell on him.
Nianifañe t’i Zakaria te nahaoniñe, nihohokòhoke, vaho nidoiña’ ty firevendreveñañe.
13 And the angel said to him; Fear not, Zacharias; because thy prayer has been heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bring forth a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name John.
Le hoe ty asa’ i anjeliy tama’e; Ko hemban-drehe Zakaria fa jinanjiñe i halali’oy le hisama-dahy ama’o t’i Elizabeta tañanjomba’o vaho toñono ty hoe Jaona ty añara’e.
14 And there shall be joy and rejoicing, and many shall rejoice at his birth.
Ho fale naho ehake irehe vaho maro ty hirebek’ amy hisamaha’ey,
15 For he shall be great before the Lord; and he shall not drink wine and strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost even from the womb of his mother.
amy t’ie ho ra’elahy añatrefa’ Iehovà, naho tsy hinon-divay ndra toake, vaho ie mbe an-kovin-drene’e ao ro ho lifore’ i Arofo Masiñey.
16 And he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord, their God.
Maro amo ana’ Israeleo ty hampitolihe’e amy Iehovà Andrianañahare’ey.
17 And he will go before Him in the spirit and Power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient unto the understanding of the righteous, to prepare a people made ready for the Lord.
Ie hañavelo añatrefa’eo ami’ty arofo naho haozara’ i Elia, hampitolihe’e amo anakeo ty tron-droae naho mb’ami’ty fahihira’ o vantañeo o manjehatseo, hampihentseñe ondaty veka’e ho a Iehovà.
18 And Zacharias said to the angel: According to what shall I know this? for I am old and my wife advanced in her days.
Aa hoe t’i Zakaria tamy anjeliy; Aia ty haharendrehako t’ie to? Bey iraho naho migain-kantetse ka ty valiko.
19 And the angel responding said to him; I am Gabriel standing in the presence of God, and am sent to speak to you and to preach to you these things.
Tinoi’ i anjeliy ty hoe, Izaho n’o Gabriele mpijohañe añatrefan’ Añahareo; niraheñe hivolañ’ ama’o, hitaroñe o talili-soa zao.
20 And behold thou shalt be dumb and unable to speak, unto the day upon which these things may take place; because thou didst not believe my words, which shall be fulfilled in their time.
Fe inao! ho moan-drehe, tsy hahasaontsy ampara’ t’ie tafetetse, ami’te tsy natokisa’o o volakoo, ie ho heneke amy nifantañañey.
21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and were wondering because he tarries in the temple.
Nandiñe i Zakaria ondatio, nilatsa t’ie tambatse amy toetse miavakey ao.
22 And having come out he was unable to speak to them; and they recognized that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he was beckoning to them and remained dumb.
Ie niavotse, le tsy nahasaontsy am’ iereo naho nioni’ iereo te niboahan-draha añ’ anjomba miavak’ ao, ie nanondrotondro am’iareo, fa le lia’e nimoañe.
23 And it came to pass when the days of his ministry were fulfilled, he went away to his own house.
Ie amy zao, naho niheneke o andro fitoroña’eo, le nimpoly mb’añ’ anjomba’e añe.
24 And after these days Elizabeth, his wife, conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Añe i andro rezay le niareñe t’i Elizabeta, vali’e, vaho nipalitse lime volañe, fa hoe ty asa’e:
25 That the Lord so hath done unto me, in the days in which He condescended to take away my reproach among men.
Zao ty nanoe’ Iehovà amako amy andro nivazoho’ey, hañafaha’e amako ty sirika’ondatio.
26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, to which was the name
Ie amy fah’enembola’ey le niraheñe boak’ aman’Añahare ao t’i Gabriela anjely homb’an-drova atao Nazareta e Galilia añe,
27 Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man, to whom was the name Joseph of the house of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.
mb’ami’ty somondrara nifofoe’ t’indaty atao Iosefe, anjomba’ i Davide, Marie ty añara’ i somondraray.
28 And the angel having come to her said; Hail, thou blessed one; the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women.
Niheo ama’e i anjeliy nanao ty hoe; Akore ry isoheñe! mitahy azo t’Iehovà.
29 And she seeing was troubled over his word, and was reasoning what kind this salutation might be.
Nitsonevotse amy zao re amy tsara’ey, le nitsakore i fañontanea’ey.
30 And the angel said to her; Fear not, Mary; for thou didst find favor with God.
Ko hemban-drehe, Marie, hoe i anjeliy fa nanjò fañisohañe aman’ Añahare.
31 And behold, thou shalt conceive and hear a son, and thou shalt call His name Jesus.
Oniño t’ie hiareñ’ an-koviñ’ ao le hisama-dahy, vaho hatao’o Iesoà ty añara’e
32 He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David:
Ho fanalolahy re, le ho toñoneñe ty hoe: Ana’ i Andindimoneñey naho hatolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare aze ty fiambesa’ i Davide rae’e;
33 and He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His Kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
le ho fehe’e nainae’e ty anjomba’ Iakobe vaho tsy ho modo i fifehea’ey. (aiōn g165)
34 And Mary said to the angel; How shall this be, since I know not man?
Le hoe t’i Marie tamy anjeliy; Akore ty hahamete’ izay, izaho tsy mahavany lahy?
35 And the angel responding said to her; The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee; therefore, indeed, that holy thing that is begotten shall be called the Son of God.
Aa le hoe ty natoi’ i anjeliy aze; Hitotsak’ ama’o i Arofo Masiñey, hañalok’ azo ty haozara’ i Andindimoneñey; le ho toñoneñe ty hoe, Anan’ Añahare, i Masiñe hasama’oy.
36 And behold Elizabeth thy kinswoman, indeed, herself having conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month, to her who is called barren.
Inao te niaren-dahy ka t’i Elizabeta longo’o ndra te bey; fa enem-bolañe henaneo i natao betsiterakey,
37 Because no word shall be impossible with God.
Toe tsy eo ty tsy lefen’ Añahare.
38 And Mary said; Behold the handmaiden of the Lord; may it be done unto me according to thy word. And the angel went away from her.
Hoe t’i Marie; Intoy ty anak’ ampata’ Iehovà; lonike te ho amako i sinaontsi’oy. Le nienga aze i anjeliy.
39 And Mary, rising, departed into the mountainous land, with haste, into a city of Judah.
Niongake amy andro rezay t’i Marie, nikapikapike mb’an-tanàñe ambohibohi’ Iehodà mb’eo;
40 And she came into the house of Zacharias and saluted Elizabeth.
le nimoak’ añ’ anjomba’ i Zakaria ao vaho nañontane i Elizabeta.
41 And it came to pass when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant in her womb leaped; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit; and she spoke with a loud voice and said;
Ie jinanji’ i Elizabeta i fañontanea’ i Mariey, le nivoañe ty ajaja an-tro’e ao; mbore nilifore’ i Arofo Masiñey t’i Elizabeta.
42 Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
Le ty hoe ty napaza’e; Haha amy ze atao ampela irehe vaho soatata ty anake hasama’o.
43 And whence is this to me that the mother of my Lord may come unto me?
Ia ka iraho, te nitilihe’ ty rene’ i Talèkoy?
44 For behold when the voice of your salutation came into my ears, the infant in my womb leaped with joy.
Hete! ie nimoak’ an-tsofiko ao i feom-pañontanea’oy le nisondrakak’an-kaehake ty ajaja an-troko ato.
45 And blessed is she that believeth, because there shall be a perfection to those things having been spoken to her by the Lord.
En-droa, haha i niantoke te ho henefeñe ama’e o raha nitsarae’ Iehovày.
46 And Mary said; My soul doth magnify the Lord,
Aa le nanao ty ti-hoe t’i Marie: Mañonjoñe Iehovà ty fiaiko,
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour,
vaho mirebek’ aman’Añahare mpandrombak’ ahy ty troko;
48 because He looked upon the low state of his handmaiden.
Nivazohoe’e ty hasotria’ i anak’ am-pata’ey, Oniño te hanao ahy haha ze hene tariratse henane zao.
49 For behold from now all generations call me blessed; because the Mighty One did great things unto me, and His name is holy;
Nanao raha fiain-tane amako i Maozatsey—masiñe ty tahina’e.
50 and His mercy unto generation of generations to them that fear Him.
Ferenaiña’e pak’an-tariratse an-tariratse o mañeveñe ama’eo.
51 He wrought power by his own arm; he dispersed the proud in the thought of their heart.
Nampiboaha’e haozarañe ty fità’e; naparatsia’e o mpiebotsebotse am-pitsakorean-tro’eo.
52 He cast down the mighty from thrones and exalted the humble.
Nafotsa’e amo fiambesam-bolo- nahe’eo o fanalolahio, vaho naonjo’e o mpirèkeo.
53 He filled the poor with good things, and sent away the rich empty.
Nanjàñe’e raha soa o nisalikoo, fe nampolie’e hara’e o mpañalealeo.
54 He delivered his son Israel, to remember mercy,
Nimbae’e t’Israele mpitoro’e, hahatiahia’e i fiferenaiñañe
nitsarae’e amy Abraàme naho amo tarira’e nainai’eoy, i nampitamà’e an-droaen-tikañey. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
Telo volañe varàñe ty nitoboha’ i Marie ama’e ao vaho nimpoly mb’añ’anjomba’e añe.
57 And the time of her parturition was fulfilled unto Elizabeth and she brought forth a son.
Henek’ amy zao o andro nahatoly i Elizabetao, le nisama-dahy.
58 And the neighbors and her relatives heard, that the Lord was magnifying His mercy with her, and they continued to rejoice with her.
Jinanji’ ondaty mpitrao-tanàñe ama’eo naho o longo’eo t’ie niferenaiña’ Iehovà, le nitrao-kafaleañe ama’e.
59 And it came to pass on the eighth day, they came to circumcise the little child; and they were calling him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
Ie ami’ty andro faha-valo, le nasese ho savareñe i ajajay, vaho ho natao’ iereo Zakaria ty añara’e amy te izay ty tahinan-drae’e,
60 And his mother responding said; No, but he shall be called John.
fa hoe ka ty natoin-drene’e; Aiy! hatao ty hoe Jaona re.
61 And they said to her; That there is no one among thy kindred who is called by this name.
Aa hoe ty asa’ iareo tama’e; Leo raik’ aman-drolongo’o tsy nitoñoneñe amy tahinañe zay.
62 And they were beckoning to his father, what he might wish to call him.
Le nañatsikatsik’ an-drae’e iereo, ami’ty hoe: Ia ty satri’o hitokavañ’ aze.
63 And having asked for a writing tablet, he wrote saying; His name is John.
Nipay fanokiran-dre vaho nanokitse ty hoe: I Jaona ty añara’e. Aa le hene nidaba.
64 And all marveled. And his mouth immediately opened and his tongue loosed, and he continued to speak, praising God.
Nisokak’ ami’ty manao zao ty falie’e naho nibalake i famele’ey vaho nisaontsy am-pandrengeañe an’ Andrianañahare.
65 And fear came upon all of those dwelling around; and all these words were spoken abroad in all the mountainous regions of Judea.
Hene nangebahebake o mpimoneñe nañohoke iareoo, vaho nirehafeñe mb’eo mb’eo ambohibohi’ Iehodà ao irezay.
66 And all those hearing placed them in their heart, saying; What then shall this little child be? And the hand of the Lord was with him.
Songa nitsakore ty hoe añ’ arofo ao ze nahaoniñe: Ty ajaja ho akore v’itoio? Le nitahy aze ty fità’ Iehovà.
67 And Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied saying;
Lifotse i Arofo Masiñey amy zao t’i Zakaria rae’e vaho nitoky ty ti-hoe:
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, because He looked upon us and wrought redemption to His people, and raised up unto us a horn of salvation
Andriañeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, fa nitilihe’e vaho jineba’e ondati’eo.
69 in the house of David His son.
Nampitroara’e tsifam-pandrombahañe tika añ’anjomba’ i Davide mpitoro’e ao,
Nitsara am-palie’ o mpitoky miavakeo i teo nainai’e am-pifotora’ ty voatse toiy, (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all those who hate us,
t’ie ho rombaheñe amo rafelahin- tikañeo, naho am-pità’ o malaiñe an-tikañeo,
72 to execute mercy with our fathers, and remember His holy covenant,
Hiferenaiña’e o roazan-tikañeo, naho ho tiahi’e i fañina’e miavakey,
73 the oath which He swore to Abraham our father:
i fanta nifantà’e amy Abraàme raentikañey,
74 to grant unto us, having been delivered out of the hand of our enemies, to serve Him without fear,
t’ie hatolo’e amantikañe, ie fa vinotso’e amo rafelahintikañeo, hitoroñ’ aze tsy an-kahembañañe,
75 in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.
am-piavahañe naho an-kavantañañe añatrefa’e amo hene andro iveloman-tikañeo.
76 And thou, little child, shall be called a prophet of the Highest; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways,
Le ihe, anako, ty hatao Mpitoki’ i Andindimoneñey, amy te Ihe ty hiaolo i Talè hañajary ty lala homba’e,
77 to give knowledge of salvation to His people in remission of their sins,
hampahaoniñe ondati’eo ty fandrombahañe ie hinahan-kakeo,
78 through the bowels of mercy of our God, in which the dayspring from on high looked upon us,
ami’ty fiferenaiñan’ Añaharen-tika— ie nampitilihe’e an-tika i fanjiriha’e boak’ añ’aboy,
79 to appear unto those sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet in the way of peace.
Hanolora’e hazavàñe o mpitoboke añ’ieñe ao naho an-talinjon-kavilasio, hiaoloa’e mb’an-dalan-kanintsiñe mb’eo o fandian-tikañeo.
80 And the little child continued to grow and waxed strong in spirit; and was in the deserts until the day of his showing unto Israel.
Nitombo i ajajay le nihaozatse an-troke vaho nitoets’am-babangoañe añe ampara’ ty andro niboaha’e am’Israele.
