Luke 1
1 Seeing that many took in hand to set in order a narration of the matters that have been fully assured among us,
Cawhkaw ik-oeih ningnih anglakawh ak soep ce thlang khawzah ing qee aham hlah hawh uhy,
2 as they delivered to us, who from the beginning became eyewitnesses, and officers of the word,
ak cyk ca awhkaw ing dyihthing na awm nawh ce ak awi dawngawh bi ak bikhqi ing nangmih a venawh amik kqawn law patoe lawt amyihna.
3 it seemed good also to me, having followed from the first after all things exactly, to write to you in order, most noble Theophilus,
Cedawngawh cawhkaw ik-oeih ce akung awhkawng kamah qoe ing ak nep na nym a nai nawh, ka qee law patoe mantaw nep voei tinawh poek nyng, ak leek soeih Theolophila,
4 that you may know the certainty of the things wherein you were instructed.
cawh ni thlang ing a ni pyinaak awi ce ak nep caana nami sim hly thai.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the division of Abijah, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth;
Judea sangpahrang Herod chan awh, Abijiah cakaw khawsoeih pynoet, ang mingna Zekarih ce awm nawh Elizabeth ak mingnaak Aaron cahlah ce zu na hy.
6 and they were both righteous before God, going on in all the commands and righteousnesses of the LORD blameless,
Khawsa mik huh awh thlak dyng na awm nih nawh, Bawipa ak awipeekhqi ingkaw sai hly kawi boeih boeih ce coet amak kapna sai hy nih.
7 and they had no child, because that Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in their days.
Cehlai Elizabeth taw ciing nawh ca am ta hy nih; ani kum awm pacawng hawh hy nih.
8 And it came to pass, in his acting as priest, in the order of his division before God,
Zekariah a poek ben ing Khawsa haiawh Khawsa bibinaak tym a pha a dawngawh,
9 according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot was to make incense, having gone into the temple of the LORD,
anih ing khawsoeihkhqi a sai khawi amyihna, Bawipa a bawkim khuiawh bawktui phum aham a tym ing pha hy.
10 and all the multitude of the people were praying outside, at the hour of the incense.
Bawktui phumnaak a tym a pha awh, Khawsa ak bawkkhqi boeih boeih ce a lengna cykcah uhy.
11 And there appeared to him a messenger of the LORD standing on the right side of the altar of the incense,
Cawh Bawipa ak khan ceityih ce bawktui phumnaak bawkthang tang benawh dyih pehy.
12 and Zacharias, having seen, was troubled, and fear fell on him;
Zekariah ing a huh awh ang ngaih kyi nawh ak kqih na awm kqih hy.
13 and the messenger said to him, “Do not fear, Zacharias, for your supplication was heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear a son to you, and you will call his name John,
Cehlai khan ceityih ing a venawh: “Zekariah, koeh kqih; nak cykcahnaak ce Khawsa ing za hawh hy. Na zu Elizabeth ing cakpa ni taak pe kawmsaw, Johan tinawh ang ming sui kawp ti.
14 and there will be joy to you, and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth,
Nang kaw anik zeel sak ingkaw a nik awmhly sak na awm kaw, anih a thang awh thlang khawzah zeel kawm uh,
15 for he will be great before the LORD, and wine and strong drink he may not drink, and he will be full of the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb;
kawtih anih taw Bawipa a mik huh awh thlak bau na awm kaw. Misur tui, am awhtaw ak chang qui kawi ik-oeih qoe am aw kaw, a thang awhkawng anih taw Ciim Myihla ing be kaw.
16 and he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the LORD their God,
Anih ing Israel thlang khawzah ce a mimah a Bawipa Khawsa venna sawi tlaih kaw.
17 and he will go before Him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn hearts of fathers to children, and disobedient ones to the wisdom of righteous ones, to make ready for the LORD, a people prepared.”
Pakhqi ak kawlung ce cakhqi benna hawi sak ham, awi amak zakhqi ce thlak dyngkhqi cyihnaak benna mang sak ham, Bawipa ham lammana thlang ak toen hamna Elijah ang myihla ingkaw ak thaawmnaak taak ing Bawipa haiawh a na cet kaw,” tina hy.
18 And Zacharias said to the messenger, “Whereby will I know this? For I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days?”
Zekariah ing khan ceityih a venawh, “Ve ve ikawmyihna ka simnaak kaw? Kamah awm pacawng nyng ka zu awm nucawng hawh hy,” tina hy.
19 And the messenger answering said to him, “I am Gabriel, who has been standing near before God, and I was sent to speak to you, and to proclaim this good news to you,
Khan ceityih ing a venawh, “Kai ve Khawsa haiawh ak dyi Gabriel ni, nang a venawh awi kqawn aham ingkaw vawhkaw awithang leek kqawn aham tyihna kak awm ni.
20 and behold, you will be silent, and not able to speak, until the day that these things will come to pass, because you did not believe my words that will be fulfilled in their season.”
Cehlai nang ing, a tym a khoek awh ak pha law hly kawi kak kqawn law ve am nak cangnaak a dawngawh, cawhkaw ik-oeih a pha hlan dy awimyh kawp ti,” tina hy.
21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and wondering at his lingering in the temple,
Cawh thlangkhqi ingtaw a leng nakawng Zekariah ce qeh uhy, kawtih bawkim khuiawh a awm khing hy voei, ti unawh a ming ngaih kyi hy.
22 and having come out, he was not able to speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, and he was beckoning to them, and remained mute.
Anih ce a law awhtaw, awi am pau thai voel hy. Awi ak kqawn kaana a kut ing a vaih a dawngawh, a mingmih ing bawkim ak khuina mik hatnaak hu pakaa hy ti uhy. Cedawngawh Zekariah ing amingmih venawh kut ing zavaih nawh awimyh na awm hy.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he went away to his house,
A bibinaak tym a boeih coengawh taw im na hlat hy.
24 and after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Cekcoengawh taw a zu Elizabeth ce phyihsu nawh hla nga khui thlang a venawh am dang hy.
25 “Thus the LORD has done to me, in days in which He looked on [me], to take away my reproach among men.”
Elizabeth ing, “Thlang venna kang ming seetnaak thoeng hamna Bawipa ing thlang huh awh vemyihna ni sai pe hy,” tihy.
26 And in the sixth month the messenger Gabriel was sent by God, to a city of Galilee, the name of which [is] Nazareth,
Elizabeth a pumqihnaak hlak kquk a law awh, Khawsa ing khan ceityih Gabriel ce, Kalili qam Nazareth khaw awhkaw,
27 to a virgin, betrothed to a man, whose name [is] Joseph, of the house of David, and the name of the virgin [is] Mary.
David cadil na ak awm, Josepth ak mingnaak ing zunaak aham am kang nulak cym a venna tyi hy. Cawhkaw nulak cym taw Meri ming na hy.
28 And the messenger having come in to her, said, “Greetings, favored one, the LORD [is] with you; blessed [are] you among women”;
Khan ceityih ing a venawh, “Na zoseen hy, nang, Khawsak kaw ak tawng! Bawipa taw na venawh awm hy,” tina hy.
29 and she, having seen, was troubled at his word, and was reasoning of what kind this salutation may be.
Ce ak awi awh Meri taw ak ngaihna kyi nawh, “ikawmyih ak awi hy voei nu,” tinawh poek qu hy.
30 And the messenger said to her, “Do not fear, Mary, for you have found favor with God;
Cehlai, khan ceityih ing a venawh, “Meri, koeh kqih, Khawsa ak kawngaihnaak hu hawh hyk ti.
31 and behold, you will conceive in the womb, and will bring forth a Son, and call His Name Jesus;
Phyihsu kawm tiksaw cakpa ta kawp ti.
32 He will be great, and He will be called Son of the Highest, and the LORD God will give Him the throne of His father David,
Anih taw thlak bau na awm kawmsaw, Sawsang soeih Cakpa ti kawm uh; Bawipa Khawsa ing a pa David a ngawihdoelh ce pe kawmsaw,
33 and He will reign over the house of Jacob for all ages; and of His kingdom there will be no end.” (aiōn g165)
Jakob cadil lakawh kumqui dyna boei loet kawsaw, a ram ing am dyt voel tikaw,” tina hy. (aiōn g165)
34 And Mary said to the messenger, “How will this be, seeing I do not know a husband?”
Cawh Meri ing khan ceityih a venawh,” Cece ikawmyihna ang coeng naak thai kaw? Pa am ka taak ak kaa?” tina hy.
35 And the messenger answering said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you, therefore also the holy-begotten thing will be called Son of God;
Khan ceityih ing, “Ciim Myihla ce nak khan awh awm kawmsaw, sawsang soeih a saithainaak ing ni siing khoep kaw; cedawngawh thlak ciim ak thang law hly ce Khawsa Capa tinawh khy kawm uh.
36 and behold, Elizabeth, your relative, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her who was called barren;
Na cakaw Elizabeth awm a nucawng huna phyihsu nawh; tuhawh hlak kquk law hawh hy.
37 because nothing will be impossible with God.”
Kawtih Khawsak awi ak cawn boeih ing them a saithai kaana am awm kaw,” tina hy.
38 And Mary said, “Behold, the maidservant of the LORD; let it be to me according to your saying,” and the messenger went away from her.
Cawh Meri ing, “Kai taw Bawipa a tamnaa ni, nak kqawn amyihna kak khan awh awm seh nyng,” tina hy.
39 And Mary having arisen in those days, went into the hill-country, with haste, to a city of Judea,
Cawh Meri ce tho nawh Judah qam tlang na ak awm khaw pynoet awh ce ang tawnna cet hy,
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias, and greeted Elizabeth.
Zekariah a ipkhui na ce lut nawh Elizabeth ce voem hy.
41 And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the baby leapt in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
Elizabeth ing Meri ak awi ce ang zaak awh, ak phoen khui nakaw naaca ce tat hy, cawh Elizah ce Ciim Myihla ing be hy.
42 and spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed [are] you among women, and blessed [is] the Fruit of your womb;
Anih ing khawteh na: “Nang taw nukhqi boeih anglakawh thlang zoseen nu ni, nak khui awhkaw na ca awm a zoseen hy.
43 and from where [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord might come to me?
Ka Bawipa a nu, ka venna na law ve ikawmyihna hy voei?
44 For behold, when the voice of your salutation came to my ears, the baby in my womb leapt in gladness;
Ngai lah, Nani voemnaak awi kang zaak awhkawng kak phoen khui nakaw naaca ve a zeel aih awh tat hy.
45 and blessed [is] she who believed, for there will be a completion to the things spoken to her from the LORD.”
Cedawngawh a venawh Bawipa ing ak kqawn peek ce soep kaw, tinawh ak cangnaak nu taw a zoseen hy,” tina hy.
46 And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the LORD,
Meri ing: “Ka hqingnaak ing Bawipa kyihcah nawh,
47 And my spirit was glad on God my Savior,
kang myihla awm ak hulkung Khawsa venawh zeel soeih hy.
48 Because He looked on the lowliness of His maidservant, For behold, from now on all the generations will call me blessed,
A tamnaa nu a dungvoengnaak qeen nawh; Ngaih lah, tuhawhkawng cadil boeih ing thlang zoseen nu tinawh nik khy kawm uh.
49 For He who is mighty did great things to me, And holy [is] His Name,
Kawtih tha ak awm soeih ing kak khan awh ik-oeih ak bau soeih sai hawh hy, ang ming awm cimcaih soeih hy.
50 And His kindness [is] to generations of generations, To those fearing Him;
Amah ak kqihchahkhqi cetaw cadil dyna awm qeen khqi hy.
51 He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,
A baan ing ak thaawmnaak ce dang sak nawh, thlak oek qu khqi taw a mik poek qunaak ing theeh khqi hy.
52 He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,
Ukkungkhqi ce a mi ngawihdoelh awhkawng kqum sak khqi nawh dungvoeng na ak awmkhqi ce zoeksang khqi hy.
53 He filled the hungry with good, And the rich He sent away empty;
Ak phoen ak cawi khqi ce them leek ing phyi sak khqi nawh, boeikhqi ce kut hqawng na tyi khqi hy.
54 He has taken hold of His servant Israel, To remember kindness,
A lungqeennaak ce poek khak nawh a tyihzoeih Israelkhqi ce bawm hamna,
Abraham ingkaw a cadil a venawh qeennaak ce ta poepa hy,” tihy. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary remained with her about three months, and turned back to her house.
Meri ce Elizabeth a venawh hla thum tluk a awm coengawh a im na hlat hy.
57 And to Elizabeth was the time fulfilled for her bringing forth, and she bore a son,
Naa a thangnaak tym a pha awh, Elizabeth ing cakpa ce ta hy.
58 and the neighbors and her relatives heard that the LORD was making His kindness great with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
A imcengkhqi ingkaw a cakaw paqengkhqi ing Bawipa ing anih ak khan awh qeennaak soep sak hy tice a ming sim awh, zeel pyi uhy.
59 And it came to pass, on the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling him by the name of his father, Zacharias,
Ak kqeet nyn awh chahhui qeet aham naaca ce khyn hy nih, cawh a pa ang ming Zekariah ce sui aham cai hlai uhy,
60 and his mother answering said, “No, but he will be called John.”
a nu ing, “Amni! Johan tinawh ni sui aham awm hy, tinak khqi hy.
61 And they said to her, “There is none among your relatives who is called by this name,”
Cekkhqi ing, “Cemyih ang ming ce na cakaw paqeng ak khuiawh am awm man hy,” tina uhy.
62 and they were making signs to his father, what he would wish him to be called,
Naa ang ming ce ikawmyihna nu a sui law kaw ti unawh, a pa a venawh a mi kut vaih unawh doet uhy.
63 and having asked for a tablet, he wrote, saying, “John is his name”; and they all wondered;
Anih ing caa qeenaak aham calung ce thoeh nawh, “Ang ming taw Johan,” tinawh qee saw thlang boeih a mik kawpoek kyi hy.
64 and his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he was speaking, praising God.
Cawh am kha ce awng qu pahoei nawh am lai awm zai law pahoei hy, awi kqawn nawh Khawsa ce kyihcah hy.
65 And fear came on all those dwelling around them, and in all the hill-country of Judea were all these sayings spoken of,
A imcengkhqi taw amik kawpoek kyi hy. Judah qam khawmcung pum awh thlangkhqi ing cawhkaw ce kqawn uhy.
66 and all who heard laid them up in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child be?” And the hand of the LORD was with him.
Bawipa a kut ce anih ak khan awh a awm a dawngawh, ce ak awi ak zakhqi boeih ing amik kawpoek kyi nawh, “Cawhtaw cawhkaw naasen ce ikawmyihna nu a awm law kaw?” ti uhy.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
A pa Zekariah ce Ciim Myihla ing be nawh awi kqawn hy:
68 “Blessed [is] the LORD, the God of Israel, Because He looked on, And worked redemption for His people,
“Israelkhqi a Khawsa, Bawipa venawh thangleeknaak awm seh nyng, kawtih ak thlangkhqi ce hqip nawh tlan hawh hy.
69 And raised a horn of salvation to us, In the house of His servant David,
A tyihzawih David a ipkhui awh, nangmih thaawngnaak kii pynoet cawn sak hawh hy.
(Syn awh amah a tawngha ciimkhqi venawh anak kqawn amyihna), (aiōn g165)
71 Salvation from our enemies, And out of the hand of all hating us,

72 To do kindness with our fathers, And to be mindful of His holy covenant,

73 An oath that He swore to Abraham our father,

Ni qaalkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni loet sak aham ingkaw kqih kaana amah a bi ce ni binaak thai aham
75 To serve Him, in holiness and righteousness Before Him, all the days of our life.

76 And you, child, Prophet of the Highest will you be called; For you will go before the face of the LORD, To prepare His ways.
Ce, nang ka ca, sawsang soeih a tawngha pynoet tinawh nik khy kawm uh; kawtih Bawipa haiawh a lam qoek abah peek aham na ceh hly awh;

78 Through the yearnings of our God, In which the rising from on high looked on us,

79 To give light to those sitting in darkness and death-shade, To guide our feet to a way of peace.”

80 And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit, and he was in the deserts until the day of his showing to Israel.
Naasen ce bau law hqui nawh Myihla ben awh ak tha awm hqui hy; Israelkhqi venawh ang dang hlan dy kqawng na ce awm hy.
