Luke 1
1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
Kote sung ah thu piang te sia mitampi in a ban a ban in at zo a, tua thu tangkona te sia ka up bel uh a hihi,
2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
A kipatcil pan in mitmu tetti te le Pathian kamal naseam te i hong son bang in a ki at a hihi;
3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
A masabel pan in thu theampo a cialcing in he ka hikom, na tung ah a ban a ban in hong at leng pha tu hi, ci ngaisun khi hi, a thupibel Theofilas awng,
4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
Nangma hong hil sa thu te a kip a kho thei natu in hong at khi hi.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judæa, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
Judah kumpipa Herod hun lai in, Zacharias a kici thiampi khat om a, ama sia Abijah i thiampi pawl sung ah kihel hi: a zi min sia Elizabeth hi a, Aaron suan a hihi.
6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Amate ni sia Pathian mai ah mi thutang te hi uh a, thupiak te le biakna ngeina te sia paubang ngawl in a zui te a hi uh hi.
7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
Amate in ta a nei bua uh hi, banghangziam cile Elizabeth sia ciing hi, taciang amate a ni ma in a kum uh zong ham zo hi.
8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,
Zecharias sia ama pawl te taw a nasep hun cing a Pathian mai ah thiampi nasep a sep laitak in,
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.
Thiampi te nasep ngeina bang in aisan uh a, Zecharias in Topa biakinn sung a tum ciang in ngimnamtui hal tu nasep nei hi.
10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
Ngimnamtui a hal laitak in mihonpi theampo a puasang ah thungen khawm uh hi.
11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
Topa vantungmi khat a kung ah hong kilang a, ngimnamtui hal na mun biaktau ziatsang ah ding hi.
12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
Zechariah in ama a mu ciang in, patau a, a tung ah launa theng hi.
13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
Ahihang vantungmi in, Zechariah: lau heak in, Pathian in na thungetna hong za zo hi, taciang na zi Elizabeth in tapa hing tu a, a min sia John, phuak tu ni hi, ci hi.
14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
Lungdamna le thinnopna nei tu ni hi; a sua ciang in mi tampi te zong lungdam tu uh hi.
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.
Banghangziam cile ama sia Topa mai ah mi thupi hi tu hi, sapittui ahizong, zu ahizong, dawn ngawl tu hi; a nu ngil sung pan ma in Tha Thiangtho taw kidim tu hi.
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
Israel mi tampi te zong amate Pathian Topa kung ah heakkiksak tu hi.
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, 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.
Elijah i thaa le vangletna taw Topa mai ah pai tu a, pa te le ta te i thinsung te ahizong, thu ni ngawl te sia mi thuman te i ciimna ah ahizong; Topa atu in mihing te kinging kholsak le ki thoaikholsak tu in heakkiksak tu hi.
18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
Zechariah in vantungmi kung ah, nong son bang in piang takpi tu hi, ci bangbang in he tu khi ziam? banghangziam cile keima sia pasal huai khi hi, taciang ka zi zong huai mama zo hi, ci hi.
19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
Tasiaciang vantungmi in, keima sia Pathian mai ah a ding Gabriel ka hihi; nangma paupui tu le lungdamna thu son tu in hong sawl hi.
20 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
Taciang, en in, hi thu te a pian ni dong pau thei ngawl tu ni hi, banghangziam cile amate hun ciang a tangtung tu ka thu na up ngawl hang a hihi, ci in zo hi.
21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
Mipi te in Zechariah ngak uh a, biakinn sung ah ngei mama om ahikom in, lamdangsa uh hi.
22 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.
Biakinn sung pan a pusua ciang in amate tung ah bangma son thei ngawl hi: taciang biakinn sung ah mangmu hi, ci amate in he uh hi: banghangziam cile a khut taw lak a, pau thei tuan ngawl hi.
23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
Thiampi nasep ni te a bo pociang in Zechariah sia a inn ah cia hi.
24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Tua zawkciang in a zi Elizabeth sia naupai a, tha nga sung bu hi,
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
Tua ahikom Elizabeth in, Topa in keima atu in hi thu hong vawtsak hi, mihing te sung ah zawnsakna ka thuak nate hong laksak tu in Ama in hong ve zo hi, ci hi.
26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
Tha luk a cin ciang in, Pathian in vantungmi Gabriel sia Galilee ngam Nazareth khua ah a om,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
Ngaknu thiangtho khat, David suan Joseph taw nupa tu in zuthawl piaksa, Mary kung ah paisak hi.
28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Vantungmi a kung ah hongpai a, na tung ah thupha om tahen, nangma sia a thupi mama maipha nga na hihi, Topa nang taw hong om hi: numei te sung ah thuphatoai na hihi, ci hi.
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
Ama in vantungmi a mu ciang, a sonthu hang in a thinsung buai a, bangbang paupuina hi tu ziam, ci ngaisun hi.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
Taciang vantungmi in, Mary awng, lau heak in, banghangziam cile Pathian mai ah maipha nga zo ni hi, ci hi.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
En in, nau na pai tu a, tapa nei tu ni hi, taciang a min sia Jesus phuak tu ni hi, ci hi.
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:
Ama sia mi thupi hi tu a, A sangbel i Tapa, kici tu hi: taciang Topa Pathian in a Pa David i kumpi tokhum pia tu hi:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
Ama in Jacob suan te a tawntung in uk tu a; Ama ukna sia tawp hun nei ngawl tu hi. (aiōn g165)
34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
Mary in vantungmi kung ah, bangbang piang thei tu ziam, keima in pa taw ki he ngei ngawl khi hi, ci hi.
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
Vantungmi in zo kik a, Tha Thiangtho na tung ah hong theng tu a, A sangbel i vangletna in hong tuam tu hi: tua ahikom na sung pan in a suak tu tapa thiangtho sia Pathian Tapa kici tu hi, ci hi.
36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
En in, na mealheak Elizbeth, a ciing ci in ngual i son ngei sia a kum ham zawkciang in tapa pai hi: tu in tha luk pha zo hi.
37 For no word spoken by God shall be void of power.
Banghangziam cile, Pathian taw a piang thei ngawl bangma om ngawl tu hi.
38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
Mary in, keima sia Topa i sal nu ka hihi; ka tung ah na ci bang in hi tahen, ci hi. Taciang vantungmi a kung pan in paikhia hi.
39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah;
Tua hun in, Mary ding a, Judah ngam huam mualtung khua ah manlangtak in pai hi;
40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
Zechariah innsung ah tum a, Elizabeth paupui hi.
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:
Taciang, Elizabeth in Mary paupuina a zak ciang in a ngil sung ah nauno tawn hi; taciang Elizabeth sia Tha Thiangtho taw kidim a:
42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
Aw ngingtak taw, nangma sia numei te sung pan thuphatoai na hihi, taciang na ngilsung a om nauno zong thuphatoai a hihi.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Bangbang in ka Topa i nu sia kei kung ah hongpai ziam?
44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
Banghangziam cile, en in, nong paupui na aw ka zak pociang, ka ngil sung ah nauno sia lungdamna taw tawn hi.
45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
A um nu sia thuphatoai a hihi: banghangziam cile tua thu te sia Topa in ama a son bang in vawt tu hi, ci hi.
46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
Mary in, ka nuntakna in Topa lamsang hi,
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Keima hong Ngum Pathian tung ah ka thaa a lungdam hi.
48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Banghangziam cile, nunniam kei a salnu hong ve hi: en vun, tu pan kipan in khangkhat zawk khangkhat, thuphatoai nu, hong kici tu hi.
49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
Banghangziam cile a vanglian Pathian in keima atu in a thupi mama te vawt zo hi; taciang a min thiangtho hi.
50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
A hesuakna sia ama a zakta te tung ah khangkhat zawk khangkhat om tawntung hi.
51 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
Ama in a ban taw thahatna hong lak zo a; a ki phasak te thinsung ngaisutna zong ki thethangsak siat zo hi.
52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
Ama in a vanglian te amate tokhum pan in a nuai ah khiasuk zo a, mi nunniam te domto zo hi.
53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
Ama in a ngilkial te thupha te taw ngilvasak zo a; a hau te khut hawm taw ki heamsak hi.
54 He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
Ama in a hesuakna phawk tawntung in a sal Israel hu zo hi;
I pu i pa te kung ah a sonsa bangma in, Abraham le a suan te hu hi, ci hi. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
Taciang Mary sia Elizabeth kung ah tha thum sung om a, ama inn ah ciakik hi.
57 Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
Elizabeth nau sua tu hun a cin ciang in tapa nei hi.
58 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
Elizabeth kung ah Topa hesuakna lianpi kilang ci a innpam te le a mealheak te in a zak uh ciang in lungdampui tek mama uh hi.
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.
Nausen ni liat a cin ciang in vunteap tan tu in hongpai a, a pa min zui in, Zechariah, ci uh hi.
60 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
A nu in, hi ngawl hi; a min John kici tu hi, ci in zo hi.
61 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
Amate in, na phung sung uh ah hibang min nei kuama om ngawl hi, ci uh hi.
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
Taciang amate in a pa khut taw lak uh a, bangbang ci nuam ni ziam, ci dong uh hi.
63 And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
Zechariah in lai at natu ngen a, a min sia John hi, ci at hi. Taciang a vekpi in lamdangsa mama uh hi.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God.
Taciang thatkhatthu in a kam ki hong in a lei hong suakta kik ahikom, pau in Pathian pok hi.
65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judæa.
A kim a om theampo tung ah lau na hong theng a; tua thu sia Judah kual mualtung khuano theampo ah ki zel hi.
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.
Tua thu a za theampo in amate thinsung tek ah keam uh a, hisia bangbang nausen hi peuma tu ziam! ci tek uh hi. Taciang Topa khut sia Ama tung ah om hi.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
John i pa Zechariah sia Tha Thiangtho taw kidim hi, taciang maisang thu a pualak na ah,
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
Israel te Topa Pathian minthang tahen; banghangziam cile a mite ve in hun zo hi,
69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
Eite atu in ngupna kii sia a sal David inn sung pan in hong suaksak zo hi;
70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: (aiōn g165)
Leitung kipat lai pan in kamsang thiangtho te kam zang in son zo hi: (aiōn g165)
71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
I ngal te le hong ensan te khutsung pan in eite ngum tu in ahizong;
72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
I pu i pa te tung ah vawt tu in thu a ciam sa hesuakna le thuciam thiangtho phawk tawntung tu in ahizong;
73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
I pa Abraham tung ah a kiciamna thukham,
74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
Eite tung ah pia tu le i ngal te khutsung pan in hong suaktasak tu a, lau na om ngawl in,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
I nuntaksung theampo Ama mai ah thianthona le thutang suana taw Ama na i sep thei natu a hihi.
76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
Taciang nang, nausen, A sangbel i kamsang, hong ci tu hi: banghangziam cile Topa mai ah a lampi puakhol tu in pai tu hi;
77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
A mite tung ah, amate mawna pan in mawmaisak na tungtawn in ngupna thu hesak tu in,
78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
I Pathian i a neam thuthiamna tungtawn in; van pan zing nisuak bang in hong ve zo hi,
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.
Khuazing le thi na lim sung ah a to te khuavak pia tu le eite i peang te thinnopna lampi ah hong makai tu hi, ci hi.
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
Nausen sia khang a, thaa lam ah thahat hi, Israel te kung ah a kilaak mateng duisung ah om hi.
