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,
Mtuwa Teufili. Wantu wavua wajeriti kulemba vitwatira vyavitendikiti pakati pa twenga.
2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
Walembiti ntambu yawatugambiriti vilii vyawaviwoniti kwa masu gawu kwanjira pavyanjiti, na walii yawabweriti Shisoweru Shiwagira.
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,
Su mkulu Teufili, toziya nuvigendiriti weri vitwatira vyoseri avi kwanjira pavyanjiti, mona ifaa na neni nukulemberi weri ntambu yayirawiriti.
4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
Ntenda hangu, su na gwenga gupati kuvimana nakaka toziya ya vitwatira avi vyanukufunditi.
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.
Shipindi sha Herodi mfalumi gwa Yudeya, kuweriti na mkulu gwa numba ya Mlungu litawu lyakuwi wamshema Zakariya, yakaweriti gwa shipinga sha watambika sha Abiya. Mdala gwakuwi litawu lyakuwi wamshema Elizabeti nayomberi kaweriti gwa shiyiwuku sha mtambika Aruni.
6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Na woseri wawili waweriti wantu wa matendu gaherepa kulongolu kwa Mlungu, walikala pawagajimira malagaliru goseri ga Mtuwa.
7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were [now] well stricken in years.
Kumbiti weriti wahera nonu, toziya Elizabeti kaweriti mpendi, vinu woseri wawili waweriti wagogolu.
8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,
Lishaka limu Zakariya kaweriti kankutenda lihengu lyakuwi lya utambika Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, toziya shiweriti shipindi shakuwi sha kutambika.
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.
Kulawirana na vitiba vya watambika, Zakariya kasyagulitwi kwa kugalambuziya simbi kwingira Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu su katumiziyi ubani.
10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
Shipindi Zakariya pakaweriti kankutumiziya ubani, lipinga lya wantu waweriti walivaga pamuhera kunja wankumluwa Mlungu.
11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa kamlawiriti Zakariya, kagolokiti uwega wa kumliwu pashitalawanda sha kutambikira ubani.
12 And when Zacharias saw [him], he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
Zakariya pakamwoniti, kalilimuka, kaweriti na lyoga.
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.
Kumbiti ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamgambiriti, “Nagutira Zakariya! Mlungu kapikanira kala kuluwa kwaku. Mdala gwaku Elizabeti hakakuleleri mwana mpalu. Na mwana ayu litawu lyakuwi gumshemi Yohani.
14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
Yomberi hakaweri nemeru na nemeleru kwaku, wantu wavuwa hawaweri na nemeleru kwa kwiwuka kwakuwi.
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.
Yomberi hakaweri mkulu pamasu pa Mtuwa, hakalandi ndiri divayi ama ujimbi, yomberi hakamemi Rohu Mnanagala kwanjira mumtima mwa mawu gwakuwi.
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
Hakawatendi wantu wavuwa wa Israeli wamuwuyiri Mtuwa Mlungu gwawu.
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.
Yomberi hakamlongoleri Mtuwa, hakaweri na makakala pamuhera na uwezu ntambu yakaweriti Eliya mbuyi gwa Mlungu. Hakawajegi kayi pamuhera wana na watati, hakawawuziyi wantu yawamjimira ndiri Mlungu kuwera na maholu ga wantu yawamfiriziya Mlungu na kumtandira Mtuwa wantu yawasyagulitwi.”
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.
Zakariya kamkosiya ntumintumi gwa kumpindi, “Hanuvimani hashi shisoweru ashi? Toziya neni pamuhera na mdala gwangu twawagogolu.”
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.
Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamwankula, “Neni Gaburieli yangoloka kulongolu kwa Mlungu, ndo kantuma ntakuli na gwenga na kukugambira shisoweru ashi shiwagira.
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.
Vinu guloli! Toziya gujimira ndiri shisoweru shangu, ashi hashitendeki kwa shipindi shakuwi, vinu haguweri bubu, haguwezi ndiri kutakula mpaka lishaka lilii pashilawira shisoweru ashi.”
21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
Lipinga lya wantu liweriti lyankumuhepera Zakariya na walikangasha kwa kukawa kwakuwi mulii Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu.
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.
Pakalawiti kasinditi kutakula nawomberi, nayomberi kendereyiti kuwalanguziya kwa mawoku hera, nawomberi wavimaniti kuwera kawoniti shintu Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu.
23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
Pashiperiti kala shipindi shakuwi sha kutenda lihengu Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, kagenditi ukaya kwakuwi.
24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Pa mashaka galii mdala gwakuwi Elizabeti kawera na yinda, kalikaliti mnumba kwa myezi muhanu,
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on [me], to take away my reproach among men.
kalitakuliti, “Vinu Mtuwa kamonera lusungu kwa kumusilira soni zyangu kulongolu kwa wantu.”
26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
Yinda ya Elizabeti pasokiti myezi sita, Mlungu kamtumiti Gaburieli ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kagendi mpaka Galilaya, lushi lwa Nazareti.
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name [was] Mary.
Kaweriti na shisoweru kwa muhinga bikira yakahetitwi na muntu yawamshema Yosefu, gwa shiyiwuku sha Dawudi, litawu lyakuwi ayu bikira ndo Mariya.
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.
Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamwiziriti Mariya na kumulamusiya, “Gwakashina? Ponga iweri pamuhera na gwenga! Mtuwa kapamuhera na gwenga, kakupanana upendelewu.”
29 And when she saw [him], she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
Mariya kalisheliti nentu, toziya ya shisoweru sha ntumintumi gwa kumpindi, kaliholiti mumoyu pakalikosiya, “Kulamusiya aku kwana mana gaa?”
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamgambiriti Mariya, “Nagutira Mariya, Mlungu kakupapanana manemu.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
Guloli, haguweri na yinda na kwiwula mwana mpalu na litawu lyakuwi hagumshemi Yesu.
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:
Ayu hakaweri mkulu, hawamshemi mwana gwa Mlungu na Mtuwa Mlungu hakampanani shibanta sha ufalumi sha Dawudi mbuyi gwakuwi.
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
Hakakolimlima lukolu lwa Yakobu mashaka goseri na ufalumi wakuwi hapeni uweri na upeleru.” (aiōn g165)
34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
Mariya kamgambiriti ntumintumi gwa kumpindi, “Neni haneliwoni na mpalu! Hashiweri ashi shisoweru ashi?”
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.
Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamuwankula, “Rohu Mnanagala hakizi kwaku na makakala ga Mlungu hagakwizili. Toziya ayi mwana hakiwukili hakaweri mnanagala, hakashemwi Mwana gwa Mlungu.
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.
Gumuholi mlongu gwaku Elizabeti, yomberi yawamshemiti mpendi kumbiti hakaleri mwana mpalu muugogolu wakuwi na mwezi agu ndo mwezi gwa sita kwa yinda yakuwi.
37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Toziya kwahera shintu shashikamala kwa Mlungu.”
38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
Mariya katakula, “Neni na ntumintumi gwa Mtuwa! Iweri kwa neni ntambu ya gulongiti.” Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kawukiti na kugenda zakuwi.
39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
Mashaka galii Mariya kawukiti kagenditi mpaka isi ya mulugongu lwa Yudeya.
40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
Aku kingiriti mnumba mwa Zakariya na kamlamsiyiti Elizabeti.
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:
Elizabeti pakapikaniriti ntambu Mariya yakamlamsiyiti, nonu kadunkula mumtima mwakuwi. Elizabeti kamemiti Rohu Mnanagala,
42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb.
Elizabeti kalonga, “Gutekelerwa gwenga pakati pa wadala woseri na katekelerwi mwana hakiwukili mumtima mwaku.
43 And whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Neni na gaa ata mawu gwa Mtuwa gwangu kanizili neni?
44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
Nakugambira, palaa pampikaniriti ntambu yagunamusiyiti, nonu kadunkula kwa kunemelera mumtima mwangu.
45 And blessed [is] she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
Mbaka gwenga toziya gujimira kuwera havitendeki vitwatira vyakakugambiriti Mtuwa.”
46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
Mariya kalonga, “Moyu gwangu gumkwisa Mtuwa,
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Na rohu yangu yankunemelera, Toziya Mlungu ndo Mlopoziya gwangu.
48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Toziya kamonera lusungu neni ntumintumi gwakuwi. Kwanjira vinu wantu woseri hawalongi Mlungu kantekelera,
49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy [is] his name.
Toziya ya shintu shikulu shakantendera Mlungu. Litawu lyakuwi linanagala.
50 And his mercy [is] on them that fear him from generation to generation.
Kawalanguziya lusungu lwakuwi Kwa walii yawampanana ligoya kwa shiyiwuku na shiyiwuku.
51 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
Katenda vitwatira vikulu kwa liwoku lyakuwi, Kawapalasiya yawawera na msindu pamuhera na mipangu ya myoyu yawu.
52 He hath put down the mighty from [their] seats, and exalted them of low degree.
Kawasulusiya yawawera na likakala mu ukolamlima wawu, Na kawakweniziya wananagala.
53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
Yawawera na njala kawayikutiziya vintu viherepa, Na walunda kawawusiya mawoku hera.
54 He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of [his] mercy;
Katenda shakatakuliti kwa wambuyi wetu wagona, Kiza kumtanga Israeli ntumintumi gwakuwi.
Ntambu vyakawagambiriti wambuyi wetu, Aburahamu na wiwuka wakuwi mashaka goseri!” (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
Mariya kalikaliti pamuhera na Elizabeti kwa shipindi sha myezi mitatu, shakapanu kawuyiti ukaya kwakuwi.
57 Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
Shipindi sha Elizabeti kwiwura shisokiti, kiwuliti mwana mpalu.
58 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
Wantu wapakwegera wakuwi na walongu wakuwi pawapikaniriti visoweru viherepa vya kulikangasha Mtuwa vyakavitenditi kwa Elizabeti, womberi wanemeleriti pamuhera na yomberi.
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.
Palipititi lijuwa limu, womberi wiziti kumwingiziya jandu mwana, wafira kumpanana litawu lya tati gwakuwi, Zakariya.
60 And his mother answered and said, Not [so]; but he shall be called John.
Kumbiti mawu gwakuwi kalonga, “Hangu ndiri! Litawu lyakuwi hawamshemi Yohani.”
61 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
Wamgambira, “Kwehera muntu muwalongu waku yawamshema litawu ali!”
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
Wamlanguziyiti langaliru tati gwakuwi, wavimana ntambu hakamshemi.
63 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
Zakariya kaluwiti shibawu na kalemba hangu, “Litawu lyakuwi ndo Yohani.” Kila muntu kalikangasha.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue [loosed], and he spake, and praised God.
Pala palii Zakariya kanjiti kayi kutakula, kanjiti kumkwisa Mlungu.
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.
Lyoga lyayingiriti woseri yawalikaliti pakwegera nayomberi na visoweru avi vyoseri vyeniyiti muisi yoseri ya mulugongu mwa Yudeya.
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.
Woseri yawapikaniriti vitwatira avi, waliholiti mumyoyu mwawu pawalonga, “Mwana ayu hakaweri gwa ntambu gaa?” Toziya nakaka makakala ga Mtuwa hagaweri pamuhera nayomberi.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
Zakariya, tati gwa Yohani kamemiziwiti Rohu Mnanagala, katungiti shisoweru shiwagira sha Mlungu.
68 Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
Tumkwisi Mtuwa, Mlungu gwa Israeli! Kiza kuwatanga wantu wakuwi na kuwakombola.
69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
Katupanana mlopoziya mkulu Mushiyiwuku sha Dawudi ntumintumi gwakuwi.
70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: (aiōn g165)
Gambira ntambu yakawagambiriti wambuyi wa Mlungu wananagala kwanjira kwanja. (aiōn g165)
71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
Hakatulopoziyi kulawa mumawoku mwa wangondu wetu na kutulaviya kulawa mumakakala mwa woseri yawatufira ndiri.
72 To perform the mercy [promised] to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
Kalongiti hakawawoneri lusungu wambuyi wetu, na kulihola lipatanu lyakuwi linanagala.
73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
Kulirapa kwakamlapiriti Aburahamu mbuyi gwetu,
74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
kuwera hakatutangi twenga tulopoziwi kulawa kwa wangondu wetu. Katugambira tumtenderi Mlungu pota na lyoga,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
tuweri wananagala yatumfiriziya Mlungu mashaka goseri ga makaliru getu.
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;
“Na gwenga mwana gwangu, hawakushemi mbuyi gwa Mlungu kakumpindi nentu. Toziya hagumlongoleri Mtuwa kumnyawila njira yakuwi,
77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
haguwagambiri wantu wakuwi kuwera hawalopoziwi kwa kuwawusilira vidoda vyawu.
78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
Mlungu gwetu mnanagala na yakawera na lusungu. Hakatulavilili gulangala gwa ulopoziya kulawa kumpindi,
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.
na kawalangazira woseri yawalikala muluwindu lwa kuhowa, na kuwalonguziya magulu getu munjira ya ponga.”
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
Mwana kendereyiti kukula nshimba na kuwera na makakala murohu. Kalikaliti kushiwala mpaka lishaka lya kuliranguziya mweni kwa wantu wa Israeli.
