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,
Vingi vitangile ukhuvikho vunonu amamenyu (simulizi) amamenyu galo ugukavombikhe kati yunyo,
2 as they delivered to us, who from the beginning became eyewitnesses, and officers of the word,
Nduvuvatupile ufwe, yufwe ukhuhuma khuvutengulilo twalolile na miho gito na vavombi va limenyu.
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,
Pwu nayune, vwu nilolile vunonu uvutengulilo wa mbombo inchi nchoni ukuhuma khuvute ngulilo - nikwene lunonu kulyune ukhukhwandikila vunonu mhesimiwa fincho Theofilo.
4 that you may know the certainty of the things wherein you were instructed.
Inave vwinogwa ulumanye uvwa yihwe li vwa mbombo iyumanyile.
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;
Mfigono fya Herode, umbaha va Yuta, ali pwa ukuhani yumo ale vi Sakhaliya, va khikolo kya Abiya. UU dala ahumile khyu kuvana va Haruni, ni litavwa lya mwene ale vi Elizabeti.
6 and they were both righteous before God, going on in all the commands and righteousnesses of the LORD blameless,
Voni vale va yilweli kuvulongolo kwa Nguluve; valikugenda khisita lunoninoni mu ndagilo nchoni ncha Nguluve.
7 and they had no child, because that Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in their days.
Khange savakhale nu mwana, ulwa khuva u sabati ale gumba, khange voni vala vagogolo fincho.
8 And it came to pass, in his acting as priest, in the order of his division before God,
Pwu lino yikhahumila ukhuva u sakhaliya ale va Nguluve, vwivomba imbombo ya vukuhani msamu ya mwene.
9 according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot was to make incense, having gone into the temple of the LORD,
Ukhukongana nu lwiho ulwa khuhala vi kuhani alikhu uvi ya khave ivomba, vahalaga ni kura ukhwingile mmtembile ya Nguluve nu ukhufukhutila uvumba.
10 and all the multitude of the people were praying outside, at the hour of the incense.
Ikhipuga kyoni kya vanu lili kudova khunji unsikhi gwa kufukhutila uvumba.
11 And there appeared to him a messenger of the LORD standing on the right side of the altar of the incense,
Pwu usungwa va Nguluve akha ngumila nu khoima khunelyo khwu nekhelo ya khufukhutila.
12 and Zacharias, having seen, was troubled, and fear fell on him;
Usakhelia akha dwada vu ambene uvudwanchi vukhagwila.
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,
Pwu unsugwa akhambula akhata ulekhe ukhudwada, “Sakhaliya, ulwakhuva uludovo lwakho lupulikhikhe. UU ndala vakho uelisabeti ikhukhuholela umwana. Elifavwa lya mwene vukhumwilanya Yohana.
14 and there will be joy to you, and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth,
Vwiva nu luhekhelo nu khukimagila, khenye vingi vikhv khuhovokhele ukhu holiwa khumwene
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;
is ulwakhuva iva mbahahi pavulongolo pamiho ga mmbaha. Sakhanywinchage idivai na ikivinywa ikhikali, khange iva adigile nu mepo umbanche, ukhuma mwitumbu mwa mamaye.
16 and he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the LORD their God,
Na vanu vingi va mu Israeli vi vipindukha kwa nkuludeva Unguluve va vene.
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.”
Ihitage khuvulongolo khumiho ga Ntwa nu mepo na makha ga Eliya. Ayivomba evo ukhukilivula inumbula ya baba kwu vana, uvu savidwa yavitota nu luhala lwa avalinu vwa yihweli. Ayimba wvo ukhuvika kwa Ntwa avanu uvu vavikhwe khu nongwa ya mwene.”
18 And Zacharias said to the messenger, “Whereby will I know this? For I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days?”
Sakhalia akambula usungwa, “Nikulumanyandakhekhe ukhulu manya eeli? Ulwakhuva une niligogolo na yu ndala vanga imgakha gya mwene givile mingi fincho.”
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,
Usung'wa akhambula akhata, “Une nene gabileli, uvikhwima pamiho ga Nguluve nikhasuhiwe kukhumbula, ukhukhugegela inongwa iyi inonu.
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.”
Ulolage, sayawilola, vwivamye, sukhanchove mpaka isikhu yila yakhave yihumila. Yehumile ulwakhuva amamenyu ganyo yagihumila khunsikhi unonu.”
21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and wondering at his lingering in the temple,
Pwu lino avanu vali khugulila u Sakhalia. Walikudega ukhuta unsikhi gwoni ale mtembile.
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.
Vwu ahumile khunji alikhulemwa ukhunchova na vene. Vakhalumanya ukhuta upile amagono fivi vwali mtembile, alikhupi vonesya mufihwano akhanchiga mye.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he went away to his house,
Yukhahumela ukhuta amanchuva ga vuvombi vwa mwene vuvusilile akhahega ukhuvuya khumiave.
24 and after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Usakheliya vu avuyile khumiave ukhuhuma khuvuvombi wa mwene mu tembile, uu dala va mwene va akhava nu luleme. Navope sakhahuma mu nyumba ya mwene khu mienchi gihano akhata,
25 “Thus the LORD has done to me, in days in which He looked on [me], to take away my reproach among men.”
“Ili lyu utwa avombile khulione upwa khandolile kwu vupendelelo ahenche isoni khuliune khange pamiho ga vanu.”
26 And in the sixth month the messenger Gabriel was sent by God, to a city of Galilee, the name of which [is] Nazareth,
Pwu lino umwenchi ugwa ntunato gwa mimba gya Elisabeti, Unguluve akhambula unsung'wa Gabilieli ukhuhila ikhilunga khya Mgalilaya khu khwilangiwa Nasaleti,
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.
Khu ng'inja uvyalondwe nu gosi uvi ikhwilangiwa vi Yusufu. Umwene ale va khivumbu kho kya Ndaveli, khange ilifavwa lya g'inja uyu ale vi Ihaliya.
28 And the messenger having come in to her, said, “Greetings, favored one, the LORD [is] with you; blessed [are] you among women”;
Akhincha khumwene nukhuta, “Nikukhuponia, uveve vyu pokhile uluhungu uluvaha! Untwa ahovwikhe nuve.”
29 and she, having seen, was troubled at his word, and was reasoning of what kind this salutation may be.
Limo amamenyu ga Nsungwa ga nja nchiche nu khusifa ukhulumanya khekhi unusungwa akhatile nikhu khupoia (salaam) ukhuu nchakhudege khu mwene.
30 And the messenger said to her, “Do not fear, Mary, for you have found favor with God;
Unsungwa akhambula, “Ulekhe ukhu dwadwa, Maliya, ulwakhuva vwupilile uhehungu ukhuhuma khwa Nguluve.
31 and behold, you will conceive in the womb, and will bring forth a Son, and call His Name Jesus;
Khange lola, vwigega uheleme mulitumbu lyakho vwihola umwana. Nayuve yavukhumwilaga ilitavwa lyamwene vi 'Yisu.'
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,
Iva mmbaha ikwilangiwaga mwa ve khukhanya fincho. Utwa Unguluve ikhumpa ikhigoda ikhinyahwangulo ikya Ndaveli ubaha va mwene.
33 and He will reign over the house of Jacob for all ages; and of His kingdom there will be no end.” (aiōn g165)
Ayilongoncha pa kyanya pa kwumbu kho kya Yakhobo myakha gyoni nu ludeva lwa mwene lwiva luchila vumalilo. (aiōn g165)
34 And Mary said to the messenger, “How will this be, seeing I do not know a husband?”
Umaliya akhambula unsung'wa, ili lihumela ndekhekhi ulwakhuva sanegele nigone nu ng'osi uvi ave, nchaga?
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;
Usung'wa akhamwanda nu khumbula, “Umepo umbalancho ikhwo khwinchela paliyuve pwu lina umbalanche uviyakhave iholiwa ayikhwi langivwa mwane va va Nguluve.
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;
Pwu lola, uhekhulolwakho u Elisabeti alinuleme lwa mwana khu vutamo wa vugogolo vwa mwene. Ugu mwenchigwa sita khumwene, uvivalikhu ihwilanya igomba.
37 because nothing will be impossible with God.”
Uhwakhuva lisikhuli ilyo likhuntola Unguluve.”
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.
Umaliya akhala, “Lola une nili mbombi va khidala va Nguluve. Ilakhe lwe yive vule vule khulione nduvo ilimenyu lyakho.” Pwu unsung'wa akhandekha.
39 And Mary having arisen in those days, went into the hill-country, with haste, to a city of Judea,
Pwu pafigono ifyo Umaliya akhahega khimbivi mbivi akhaluta khukhelunga khya twamba, khu jini gwa khilonga ya Yuta.
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias, and greeted Elizabeth.
Khaluta mnyumba ya Sakhaliya nu khumponia Uelisabeti.
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,
Pyu yikhahumila ukhuta Usabeti avile apolikhe uheponio mwene akhanchumba, nu Sabeti akhadiga umepo umbalenche.
42 and spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed [are] you among women, and blessed [is] the Fruit of your womb;
Akhatoncha ilimenyu lya mwene nu khunchova khulinyu ili vaha, “Usayivwe uve mumbadala, nu mwana uvyalimwitumbu lyakho asayivwe.
43 and from where [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord might come to me?
Khange yiva ndakhikhi kyulune ukhuva, mama va Nkuludeva vango ukhuta inche khulione?
44 For behold, when the voice of your salutation came to my ears, the baby in my womb leapt in gladness;
Ulwakhuva, likhavile lipulikhikhemu mbulukhutu nchango ilimenyu lya khuponia uve umwana mwandileme lyango akhanchumbo nu hehovokho.
45 and blessed [is] she who believed, for there will be a completion to the things spoken to her from the LORD.”
Khange asayivwage dala uvi alikwidikha ukhuta vukhala vuhumila khuvumalilo vwa Nkhuludeva.”
46 And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the LORD,
Mariamu akasema, nafsi yangu inamsifu Bwana,
47 And my spirit was glad on God my Savior,
Nu mepo yango yihovwikhile mwa Nguluve umpokhi vango.
48 Because He looked on the lowliness of His maidservant, For behold, from now on all the generations will call me blessed,
Uhwa khuva alolile pasi pa mbombi va mwene udala. Lola, ukhuhuma lino ifipepo fyoni fikhunyi langaga insayiwa.
49 For He who is mighty did great things to me, And holy [is] His Name,
Ulwa khuva umwene ummanyi avombile imbombo imbaha khuliune, khulitavwa lya mwene ilivalenche.
50 And His kindness [is] to generations of generations, To those fearing Him;
Uluhungu lwa mwene lutama khipaponi khipato khuvala avikhudwada umwene.
51 He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,
Avonisye amakha kwu khwa khivokho kya mwene; avahaselihimie vala ava likwiginie pa masago ga numbula yu vene.
52 He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,
Avisinche pasi avana va vavaha ukhuhuma kwu fitamilo fya vene ifinya hvangulo nu khuvavikha kwu khyanya uvavale va pasi.
53 He filled the hungry with good, And the rich He sent away empty;
Alikuvigusya avalininjala kwu finu ifinonu, pwu atayili avaswimile mavakho gene.
54 He has taken hold of His servant Israel, To remember kindness,
Ahuminche uvutangile kwa Israeli umbombi va mwene, ukhukumbu kha ukhuvonesya uhihungu lwa mwene
(Nduvu anchovile kwa dada yetu) khwa Abrahamu ni khipapo kya mwene milele.” (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary remained with her about three months, and turned back to her house.
Umaliya akhatama nu Elisabeti iminchi gidatu ndee pwa khavuya kwu nyumba ya mwene.
57 And to Elizabeth was the time fulfilled for her bringing forth, and she bore a son,
Pwu lino unsikhi gukhavile guhege lile ugwa Elisabeti ukhuhola umwana udimi.
58 and the neighbors and her relatives heard that the LORD was making His kindness great with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
Awambunchege na vahukhulolwe vakhapu likha umwu unkuludeva vwa kunchinche uluhunge hwa mwene, pwu vakhahovokha paninie nu mwene.
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,
Pwu yikhahumila ikhigono ikya nane ukhuta vali kwincha kwigida umwana. Yikhenong'ikwa ukhumwilanga ilitavwa lya mwene, “Zekaria,” Ukhuva liyavwa lya dada va mwene,
60 and his mother answering said, “No, but he will be called John.”
Pwa mama va mwene akhamula akhata, “Ate; ikwilangiwa Yohana.”
61 And they said to her, “There is none among your relatives who is called by this name,”
Vakhambula, asikhuli nu via liyumo mukikolo kyako uviikwila ngiwa nilitawa ili.”
62 and they were making signs to his father, what he would wish him to be called,
Vakhambombela ikhimanyilo udadaye ukhumbula umwene ukhuta alikunongwa ampe ilitavwa iliveni.
63 and having asked for a tablet, he wrote, saying, “John is his name”; and they all wondered;
Udadaye alikhunongwa ikbavo kya kwandika, pwu akhandikha, “Ilitavwa lya mwene vi Yohana.” Voni valikhudegu pa ili.
64 and his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he was speaking, praising God.
Unsikhi ndugu undomo kwa mwene gulichadinduliwa nu lulimi lwa mwene lulikukyega. Alikhunchova nu khuginia u Nguluve.
65 And fear came on all those dwelling around them, and in all the hill-country of Judea were all these sayings spoken of,
Uwudwanchi vukhevinchele voni uvuvatamaga paninie nevene. Imbimbo nchikhagenda ikhulunga kyoni ikya fyamba fya Yuta.
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.
Pwu voni uvuvapulikhe vakha gavika munumbula ncha vene vita, “Umwana uyu viva ndekhekhi nela khekhi?” Ulwakhuva ikhivokho kya Nkuludeva khi khale nu mwene.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Udadaye va Sakhaliya adigile umepo umbalanche nu khuhumya uvunyamalago, akhata,
68 “Blessed [is] the LORD, the God of Israel, Because He looked on, And worked redemption for His people,
“Aginivwage Unkuludeva, Unguluve va Israeli, ulwakhuva atangile nu khuvombela uvapokhi vwa vanu va mwene.
69 And raised a horn of salvation to us, In the house of His servant David,
Atwimikile ulusuga lwa vupokhi mnyumba ya mbombi va mwene Undaveti, ukuhuhuma mkhikolo kya mbombi va mwene Undaveti,
Nduvu anchovvile kwu ndomo gwa va nyamalago va mwene uvulalepwo imisi khi ikya khatele. (aiōn g165)
71 Salvation from our enemies, And out of the hand of all hating us,
Ikhutupokha khuvavivi vito nu khumyammavoko ga voni avikhutuvipila.
72 To do kindness with our fathers, And to be mindful of His holy covenant,
Ayivomba evwo ukhuvonesya ikisa khuva dada vito, nu khumbukha uhwidihano lwa mwene uluvalanche,
73 An oath that He swore to Abraham our father,
Ulwidiko ulwu anchovile kwa Abrahamu udada vito.
74 To give to us, without fear, Having been delivered out of the hand of our enemies,
Akhidiga ukhugangancha ukhuta yiwesekhano ukhumbombela U Nguluve khesita vudwanchi, vwu tupokiwe ukhuma mumavokho ga vavivi veto.
75 To serve Him, in holiness and righteousness Before Him, all the days of our life.
Mu vuvalanche nu vwa yehweli mbolongolo mmwene ifigono fyeto fyoni.
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.
Ena, na yuve mwana, vwikhwalaa ngivwa nyamalago va uvali khu kyanya fincho, ulwakhuva ayigendelaga mmbolongolo mwa Nkuludeva ukhuvavikhila injila, ukhuvavikha avanu ukhumulu pilila, umwene,
77 To give knowledge of salvation to His people In forgiveness of their sins,
Ukhuvavula avanu ukhuta ya vipokhi vwa kwu njila ya khusyikheliwa imbivincha vene.
78 Through the yearnings of our God, In which the rising from on high looked on us,
Ili yalihumila ulwakhuva khisa kya Nguluve vito, ulwakhuva ilinehuva ukhuhuma khukhenya likhutinchela
79 To give light to those sitting in darkness and death-shade, To guide our feet to a way of peace.”
ukhuvala khuvala avitama mhisi na mnu mwafuli gwa vufwe ayivombavo ugalongoncha amalunde gitu kwu njila ya lunonchehencho.”
80 And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit, and he was in the deserts until the day of his showing to Israel.
Pwu, mwana ula akhavula nu khuva na makha mumepo pwa akatama mchagalawe mpakha ihincho lya khuhumila umwene khu Israeli.
