Luke 1
1 For as much as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
Ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn ni ó ti dáwọ́lé títo àwọn nǹkan wọ̀n-ọn-nì jọ lẹ́sẹẹsẹ, èyí tí ó ti múlẹ̀ ṣinṣin láàrín wa,
2 Even as they delivered them to us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
àní gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ọ̀rọ̀ náà, tí ó ṣe ojú wọn láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ti fi lé wa lọ́wọ́.
3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus,
Nítorí náà, ó sì yẹ fún èmi pẹ̀lú, láti kọ̀wé sí ọ lẹ́sẹẹsẹ bí mo ti wádìí ohun gbogbo fínní fínní sí láti ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀, Teofilu ọlọ́lá jùlọ,
4 That you might know the certainty of those things, wherein you have been instructed.
kí ìwọ kí ó le mọ òtítọ́ ohun wọ̀n-ọn-nì, tí a ti kọ́ ọ.
5 THERE was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
Nígbà ọjọ́ Herodu ọba Judea, àlùfáà kan wà, láti ìran Abijah, orúkọ rẹ̀ a máa jẹ́ Sekariah: aya rẹ̀ sì ṣe ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin Aaroni, orúkọ rẹ̀ a sì máa jẹ́ Elisabeti.
6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Àwọn méjèèjì sì ṣe olódodo níwájú Ọlọ́run, wọ́n ń rìn ní gbogbo òfin àti ìlànà Olúwa ní àìlẹ́gàn.
7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò ní ọmọ, nítorí tí Elisabeti yàgàn; àwọn méjèèjì sì di arúgbó.
8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí ó ń ṣe iṣẹ́ àlùfáà níwájú Ọlọ́run ni àkókò tirẹ̀.
9 According to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
Bí ìṣe àwọn àlùfáà, ipa tirẹ̀ ni láti máa fi tùràrí jóná, nígbà tí ó bá wọ inú tẹmpili Olúwa lọ.
10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
Gbogbo ìjọ àwọn ènìyàn sì ń gbàdúrà lóde ní àkókò sísun tùràrí.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
Angẹli Olúwa kan sì fi ara hàn án, ó dúró ní apá ọ̀tún pẹpẹ tùràrí.
12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell on him.
Nígbà tí Sekariah sì rí i, orí rẹ̀ wú, ẹ̀rù sì bà á.
13 But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias: for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elisabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
Ṣùgbọ́n angẹli náà wí fún un pé, “Má bẹ̀rù, Sekariah: nítorí tí àdúrà rẹ gbà; Elisabeti aya rẹ yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan fún ọ, ìwọ ó sì sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Johanu.
14 And you shall have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
Òun yóò sì jẹ́ ayọ̀ àti ìdùnnú fún ọ, ènìyàn púpọ̀ yóò sì yọ̀ sí ìbí rẹ.
15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.
Nítorí òun ó pọ̀ níwájú Olúwa, kì yóò sì mu ọtí wáìnì, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì yóò sì mu ọtí líle; yóò sì kún fún Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ àní láti inú ìyá rẹ̀ wá.
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
Òun ó sì yí ènìyàn púpọ̀ padà nínú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn.
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
Ẹ̀mí àti agbára Elijah ni Olúwa yóò sì fi ṣáájú rẹ̀ lọ, láti pa ọkàn àwọn baba dà sí ti àwọn ọmọ, àti ti àwọn aláìgbọ́ràn sí ọgbọ́n àwọn olóòtítọ́; kí ó le pèsè àwọn ènìyàn tí a múra sílẹ̀ de Olúwa.”
18 And Zacharias said to the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
Sekariah sì wí fún angẹli náà pé, “Àmì wo ni èmi ó fi mọ èyí? Èmi sá ti di àgbà, àti Elisabeti aya mi sì di arúgbó.”
19 And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak to you, and to show you these glad tidings.
Angẹli náà sì dáhùn ó wí fún un pé, “Èmi ni Gabrieli, tí máa ń dúró níwájú Ọlọ́run; èmi ni a rán wá láti sọ fún ọ, àti láti mú ìròyìn ayọ̀ wọ̀nyí fún ọ wá.
20 And, behold, you shall be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because you believe not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
Sì kíyèsi i, ìwọ ó yadi, ìwọ kì yóò sì le fọhùn, títí ọjọ́ náà tí nǹkan wọ̀nyí yóò fi ṣẹ, nítorí ìwọ kò gba ọ̀rọ̀ mi gbọ́ tí yóò ṣẹ ní àkókò wọn.”
21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marveled that he tarried so long in the temple.
Àwọn ènìyàn sì ń dúró de Sekariah, ẹnu sì yà wọ́n nítorí tí ó pẹ́ nínú tẹmpili.
22 And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned to them, and remained speechless.
Nígbà tí ó sì jáde wá, òun kò le bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀. Wọn sì kíyèsi wí pé ó ti rí ìran nínú tẹmpili, ó sì ń ṣe àpẹẹrẹ sí wọn, nítorí tí ó yadi.
23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí ọjọ́ iṣẹ́ ìsìn rẹ̀ pé, ó lọ sí ilé rẹ̀.
24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Lẹ́yìn èyí ni Elisabeti aya rẹ̀ lóyún, ó sì fi ara rẹ̀ pamọ́ ní oṣù márùn-ún,
25 Thus has the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
Ó sì wí pé, “Báyìí ni Olúwa ṣe fún mi ní ọjọ́ tí ó síjú wò mí, láti mú ẹ̀gàn mi kúrò láàrín àwọn ènìyàn.”
26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
Ní oṣù kẹfà Ọlọ́run sì rán angẹli Gabrieli sí ìlú kan ní Galili, tí à ń pè ní Nasareti,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
sí wúńdíá kan tí a ṣèlérí láti fẹ́ fún ọkùnrin kan, tí a ń pè ní Josẹfu, ti ìdílé Dafidi; orúkọ wúńdíá náà a sì máa jẹ́ Maria.
28 And the angel came in to her, and said, Hail, you that are highly favored, the Lord is with you: blessed are you among women.
Angẹli náà sì tọ̀ ọ́ wá, ó ní, “Àlàáfíà fun ọ, ìwọ ẹni tí a kọjú sí ṣe ní oore, Olúwa ń bẹ pẹ̀lú rẹ.”
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọkàn Maria kò lélẹ̀ nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ náà, ó sì rò nínú ara rẹ̀ pé, irú kíkí kín ni èyí.
30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary: for you have found favor with God.
Ṣùgbọ́n angẹli náà wí fún un pé, “Má bẹ̀rù, Maria, nítorí ìwọ ti rí ojúrere lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.
31 And, behold, you shall conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name JESUS.
Ìwọ yóò lóyún nínú rẹ, ìwọ ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan, ìwọ ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Jesu.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give to him the throne of his father David:
Òun ó pọ̀, ọmọ Ọ̀gá-ògo jùlọ ni a ó sì máa pè é, Olúwa Ọlọ́run yóò sì fi ìtẹ́ Dafidi baba rẹ̀ fún.
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
Yóò sì jẹ ọba lórí ilé Jakọbu títí láé; ìjọba rẹ̀ kì yóò sì ní ìpẹ̀kun.” (aiōn g165)
34 Then said Mary to the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
Nígbà náà ni Maria béèrè lọ́wọ́ angẹli náà pé, “Èyí yóò ha ti ṣe rí bẹ́ẹ̀, nígbà tí èmi kò tí ì mọ ọkùnrin.”
35 And the angel answered and said to her, The Holy Ghost shall come on you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God.
Angẹli náà sì dáhùn ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ yóò tọ̀ ọ́ wá, agbára Ọ̀gá-ògo jùlọ yóò síji bò ọ́. Nítorí náà ohun mímọ́ tí a ó ti inú rẹ bí, Ọmọ Ọlọ́run ni a ó máa pè é.
36 And, behold, your cousin Elisabeth, she has also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
Sì kíyèsi i, Elisabeti ìbátan rẹ náà yóò sì ní ọmọkùnrin kan ní ògbólógbòó rẹ̀, èyí sì ni oṣù kẹfà fún ẹni tí à ń pè ní àgàn.
37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Nítorí kò sí ohun tí Ọlọ́run kò le ṣe.”
38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word. And the angel departed from her.
Maria sì dáhùn wí pé, “Wò ó ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa; kí ó rí fún mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ.” Angẹli náà sì fi í sílẹ̀ lọ.
39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
Ní àkókò náà ni Maria sì dìde, ó lọ kánkán sí ilẹ̀ òkè, sí ìlú kan ní Judea;
40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
Ó sì wọ ilé Sekariah lọ ó sì kí Elisabeti.
41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí Elisabeti gbọ́ kíkí Maria, ọlẹ̀ sọ nínú rẹ̀; Elisabeti sì kún fún Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́,
42 And she spoke out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
Ó sì ké ní ohùn rara, ó sì wí pé, “Alábùkún fún ni ìwọ nínú àwọn obìnrin, alábùkún fún sì ni ọmọ tí ìwọ yóò bí.
43 And what is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Èéṣe tí èmi fi rí irú ojúrere yìí, tí ìyá Olúwa mi ìbá fi tọ̀ mí wá?
44 For, see, as soon as the voice of your salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
Sá wò ó, bí ohùn kíkí rẹ ti bọ́ sí mi ní etí, ọlẹ̀ sọ nínú mi fún ayọ̀.
45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
Alábùkún fún sì ni ẹni tí ó gbàgbọ́, nítorí nǹkan wọ̀nyí tí a ti sọ fún un láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa wá yóò ṣẹ.”
46 And Mary said, My soul does magnify the Lord,
Maria sì dáhùn, ó ní: “Ọkàn mi yin Olúwa lógo.
47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
Ẹ̀mí mi sì yọ̀ sí Ọlọ́run Olùgbàlà mi.
48 For he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from now on all generations shall call me blessed.
Nítorí tí ó síjú wo ìwà ìrẹ̀lẹ̀ ọmọbìnrin ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀. Sá wò ó, láti ìsinsin yìí lọ gbogbo ìran ènìyàn ni yóò máa pè mí ní alábùkún fún.
49 For he that is mighty has done to me great things; and holy is his name.
Nítorí ẹni tí ó ní agbára ti ṣe ohun tí ó tóbi fún mi; Mímọ́ sì ni orúkọ rẹ̀.
50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
Àánú rẹ̀ sì ń bẹ fún àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ̀, láti ìrandíran.
51 He has showed strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
Ó ti fi agbára hàn ní apá rẹ̀; o ti tú àwọn onígbèéraga ká ní ìrònú ọkàn wọn.
52 He has put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
Ó ti mú àwọn alágbára kúrò lórí ìtẹ́ wọn, o sì gbé àwọn onírẹ̀lẹ̀ lékè.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he has sent empty away.
Ó ti fi ohun tí ó dára kún àwọn tí ebi ń pa ó sì rán àwọn ọlọ́rọ̀ padà ní òfo.
54 He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
Ó ti ran Israẹli ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́, ní ìrántí àánú rẹ̀;
sí Abrahamu àti àwọn ìran rẹ̀ láéláé, baba wa, àti bí ó ti sọ fún àwọn baba wa.” (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary stayed with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
Maria sì jókòó tì Elisabeti níwọ̀n oṣù mẹ́ta, ó sì padà lọ sí ilé rẹ̀.
57 Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
Nígbà tí ọjọ́ Elisabeti pé tí yóò bí; ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan.
58 And her neighbors and her cousins heard how the Lord had showed great mercy on her; and they rejoiced with her.
Àwọn aládùúgbò, àti àwọn ìbátan rẹ̀ gbọ́ bí Olúwa ti fi àánú ńlá hàn fún un, wọ́n sì bá a yọ̀.
59 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
Ó sì ṣe, ní ọjọ́ kẹjọ wọ́n wá láti kọ ọmọ náà nílà; wọ́n sì fẹ́ sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Sekariah, gẹ́gẹ́ bí orúkọ baba rẹ̀.
60 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
Ìyá rẹ̀ sì dáhùn, ó ní, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́! Johanu ni a ó pè é.”
61 And they said to her, There is none of your kindred that is called by this name.
Wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Kò sí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ará rẹ̀ tí à ń pè ní orúkọ yìí.”
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
Wọ́n sì ṣe àpẹẹrẹ sí baba rẹ̀, bí ó ti ń fẹ́ kí a pè é.
63 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marveled all.
Ó sì béèrè fún wàláà, ó sì kọ ọ wí pé, “Johanu ni orúkọ rẹ̀.” Ẹnu sì ya gbogbo wọn.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, and praised God.
Ẹnu rẹ̀ sì ṣí lọ́gán, okùn ahọ́n rẹ̀ sì tú, ó sì sọ̀rọ̀, ó sì ń yin Ọlọ́run.
65 And fear came on all that dwelled round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.
Ẹ̀rù sì ba gbogbo àwọn tí ń bẹ ní agbègbè wọn, a sì ròyìn gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí ká gbogbo ilẹ̀ òkè Judea.
66 And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.
Ó sì jẹ́ ohun ìyanu fún gbogbo àwọn tí ó gbọ́ nípa rẹ̀, wọ́n sì tò ó sínú ọkàn wọn, wọ́n ń wí pé, “Irú-ọmọ kín ni èyí yóò jẹ́?” Nítorí tí ọwọ́ Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
Sekariah baba rẹ̀ sì kún fún Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́, ó sì sọtẹ́lẹ̀, ó ní:
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people,
“Olùbùkún ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli; nítorí tí ó ti bojú wò, tí ó sì ti dá àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ nídè,
69 And has raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
Ó sì ti gbé ìwo ìgbàlà sókè fún wa ní ilé Dafidi ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀;
70 As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: (aiōn g165)
(bí ó ti sọtẹ́lẹ̀ láti ẹnu àwọn wòlíì rẹ̀ mímọ́ tipẹ́tipẹ́), (aiōn g165)
71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
Pé, a ó gbà wá là lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá wa àti lọ́wọ́ àwọn tí ó kórìíra wá.
72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
Láti ṣe àánú tí ó ṣèlérí fún àwọn baba wa, àti láti rántí májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ mímọ́,
73 The oath which he swore to our father Abraham,

74 That he would grant to us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
láti gbà wá lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá wa, kí àwa kí ó lè máa sìn láìfòyà,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

76 And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Highest: for you shall go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
“Àti ìwọ, ọmọ mi, wòlíì Ọ̀gá-ògo jùlọ ni a ó máa pè ọ́: nítorí ìwọ ni yóò ṣáájú Olúwa láti tún ọ̀nà rẹ̀ ṣe;
77 To give knowledge of salvation to his people by the remission of their sins,
láti fi ìmọ̀ ìgbàlà fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ fún ìmúkúrò ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn,
78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high has visited us,

79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Láti fi ìmọ́lẹ̀ fún àwọn tí ó jókòó ní òkùnkùn àti ní òjìji ikú, àti láti fi ẹsẹ̀ wa lé ọ̀nà àlàáfíà.”
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing to Israel.
Ọmọ náà sì dàgbà, ó sì le ní ọkàn, ó sì ń gbé ní ijù títí ó fi di ọjọ́ ìfihàn rẹ̀ fún Israẹli.
