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,
Satria maro no efa nanoratra nandahatra tantara ny amin’ ny zavatra izay efa tanteraka tamintsika tokoa,
2 as they delivered to us, who from the beginning became eyewitnesses, and officers of the word,
araka izay efa noraisintsika natolotry ny vavolombelona izay sady nahita maso no efa mpitory ny teny hatramin’ ny voalohany:
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,
dia sitrako koa, rehefa nofotorako tsara ny zavatra rehetra hatramin’ ny niandohany, ny hanoratra izany aminao araka ny filaharany, ry Teofilo tsara indrindra,
4 that you may know the certainty of the things wherein you were instructed.
mba hahafantaranao tsara fa mafy orina ny teny izay nampianarina anao.
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;
Tamin’ ny andron’ i Heroda, mpanjakan’ i Jodia, nisy mpisorona anankiray atao hoe Zakaria, isan’ ny antokon’ i Abia; ary ny vadiny dia avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Arona, Elizabeta no anarany.
6 and they were both righteous before God, going on in all the commands and righteousnesses of the LORD blameless,
Ary samy marina teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra izy mivady sady nitondra tena tsy nanan-tsiny araka ny didy sy ny fitsipika rehetra nomen’ ny Tompo.
7 and they had no child, because that Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in their days.
Ary tsy nanan-janaka izy, fa momba Elizabeta; ary samy efa antitra izy mivady.
8 And it came to pass, in his acting as priest, in the order of his division before God,
Ary nony nanao raharaham-pisoronana teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra Zakaria araka ny fifandimbiasan’ ny antokony,
9 according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot was to make incense, having gone into the temple of the LORD,
araka ny fanao amin’ ny fisoronana, dia anjarany araka ny filokana ny hiditra ao amin’ ny tempolin’ ny Tompo ka handoro ditin-kazo manitra.
10 and all the multitude of the people were praying outside, at the hour of the incense.
Ary ny vahoaka rehetra nitoetra teo ivelany nivavaka tamin’ ny ora fandoroana ny ditin-kazo manitra.
11 And there appeared to him a messenger of the LORD standing on the right side of the altar of the incense,
Ary nisy anjelin’ ny Tompo niseho taminy teo ankavanan’ ny alitara fandoroana ny ditin-kazo manitra.
12 and Zacharias, having seen, was troubled, and fear fell on him;
Ary nony nahita azy Zakaria, dia taitra loatra izy ka raiki-tahotra.
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,
Fa hoy ilay anjely taminy: Aza matahotra, ry Zakaria; fa efa nohenoina ny fangatahanao, ka Elizabeta vadinao dia hiteraka zazalahy aminao, ary Jaona no hataonao anarany.
14 and there will be joy to you, and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth,
Ary ho faly sy ho ravoravo ianao; ary maro no hifaly amin’ ny hahaterahany.
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;
Fa ho lehibe eo anatrehan’ ny Tompo izy ary tsy hisotro divay na toaka sady hofenoina ny Fanahy Masìna hatrany an-kibon-dreniny aza.
16 and he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the LORD their God,
Ary maro amin’ ny Zanak’ isiraely no hampodiny amin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny.
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.”
Ary izy handeha eo alohany amin’ ny fanahy sy ny herin’ i Elia mba hampody ny fon’ ny ray ho amin’ ny zanaka, ary ny tsy manoa ho amin’ ny fahendren’ ny marina, hamboatra firenena voaomana ho an’ ny Tempo.
18 And Zacharias said to the messenger, “Whereby will I know this? For I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days?”
Ary hoy Zakaria tamin’ ilay anjely: Inona no hahafantarako izany? fa izaho efa antitra, ary efa antitra koa ny vadiko.
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,
Ary ilay anjely namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Izaho no Gabriela, izay mitsangana eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra; ary nirahina hiteny aminao aho ka hilaza aminao izany teny mahafaly izany.
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.”
Koa, indro, ho moana ianao ka tsy hahay miteny ambara-pahatongan’ ny andro hisehoan’ izany zavatra izany, ho valin’ ny tsy ninoanao ny teniko, izay ho tanteraka amin’ ny fotoany.
21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and wondering at his lingering in the temple,
Ary ny olona dia niandry an’ i Zakaria ka gaga noho izy naharitra ela tao amin’ ny tempoly.
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.
Kanjo rehefa nivoaka izy, dia tsy nahay niteny taminy; ary dia fantatry ny olona fa efa nahita fahitana tao amin’ ny tempoly izy; ary izy nanao baikon’ ny moana taminy, ary dia mbola moana ihany.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he went away to his house,
Ary rehefa tapitra ny andro nanaovany fanompoam-pivavahana, dia lasa nody tany an-tranony izy.
24 and after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Ary taorian’ izany andro izany dia nitoe-jaza Elizabeta vadiny, dia niery dimy volana izy ka nanao hoe:
25 “Thus the LORD has done to me, in days in which He looked on [me], to take away my reproach among men.”
Izao no nataon’ ny Tompo tamiko tamin’ ny andro izay nitsinjovany hahafa-tondromaso ahy amin’ ny olona.
26 And in the sixth month the messenger Gabriel was sent by God, to a city of Galilee, the name of which [is] Nazareth,
Ary tamin’ ny fahenim-bolana dia nirahin’ Andriamanitra ny anjely Gabriela ho any an-tanàna anankiray any Galilia atao hoe Nazareta,
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.
ho any amin’ ny virijina anankiray, izay voafofo ho vadin’ ny lehilahy atao hoe Josefa, avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Davida; ary ny anaran’ ny virijina dia Maria.
28 And the messenger having come in to her, said, “Greetings, favored one, the LORD [is] with you; blessed [are] you among women”;
Ary nony niditra tao aminy ilay anjely, dia nanao hoe: Arahaba, ry ilay nohasoavina, ny Tompo momba anao.
29 and she, having seen, was troubled at his word, and was reasoning of what kind this salutation may be.
Ary taitra loatra izy noho ny teniny ka nieritreritra izay tokony ho hevitr’ izany fiarahabana izany.
30 And the messenger said to her, “Do not fear, Mary, for you have found favor with God;
Ary hoy ilay anjely taminy: Aza matahotra, ry Maria, fa efa nahita fitia tamin’ Andriamanitra ianao.
31 and behold, you will conceive in the womb, and will bring forth a Son, and call His Name Jesus;
Ary, indro, hitoe-jaza ianao ka hiteraka zazalahy, ary ny anarany dia hataonao hoe Jesosy.
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,
Izy ho lehibe ka hatao hoe Zanaky ny Avo Indrindra; ary Jehovah Andriamanitra hanome Azy ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida rainy;
33 and He will reign over the house of Jacob for all ages; and of His kingdom there will be no end.” (aiōn g165)
ary hanjaka amin’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba mandrakizay Izy; ary ny fanjakany tsy hanam-pahataperana. (aiōn g165)
34 And Mary said to the messenger, “How will this be, seeing I do not know a husband?”
Ary hoy Maria tamin’ ilay anjely: Hanao ahoana re no hahatanteraka izany, fa tsy mahalala lahy aho?
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;
Ary ilay anjely namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Ny Fanahy Masìna ho tonga ao aminao, ary hisy herin’ ny Avo Indrindra hanaloka anao; koa ny Masìna Izay hateraka dia hatao hoe Zanak’ Andriamanitra.
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;
Ary, indro, Elizabeta havanao dia efa mitoe-jaza koa, na dia efa antitra aza; ary efa mandray enina izy izao, izay natao hoe momba.
37 because nothing will be impossible with God.”
Fa tsy hisy tsy ho tanteraka ny teny rehetra ataon’ Andriamanitra.
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.
Dia hoy Maria: Inty ny ankizivavin’ ny Tompo; aoka anie ho tonga amiko araka ny teninao. Dia nandao azy ilay anjely.
39 And Mary having arisen in those days, went into the hill-country, with haste, to a city of Judea,
Ary Maria niainga tamin’ izany andro izany ka nandeha faingana ho any amin’ ny tany havoana, ho ao an-tanàna anankiray any Joda;
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias, and greeted Elizabeth.
ary niditra tao an-tranon’ i Zakaria izy ka niarahaba an’ i Elizabeta.
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,
Ary rehefa ren’ i Elizabeta ny fiarahaban’ i Maria, dia nibitaka ny zaza tao an-kibony; ary nofenoina ny Fanahy Masìna Elizabeta,
42 and spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed [are] you among women, and blessed [is] the Fruit of your womb;
dia niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery hoe izy: Voatahy samy vehivavy ianao, ary voatahy ny hateraky ny kibonao.
43 and from where [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord might come to me?
Avy aiza no ahatongavan’ izao amiko, no mba vangian’ ny renin’ ny Tompoko aho?
44 For behold, when the voice of your salutation came to my ears, the baby in my womb leapt in gladness;
Fa, indro, raha vao ren’ ny sofiko ny feon’ ny fiarahabanao, dia nibitaka noho ny hafaliana ny zaza ao an-kiboko.
45 and blessed [is] she who believed, for there will be a completion to the things spoken to her from the LORD.”
Ary sambatra ianao izay nino; fa hefaina izay zavatra nampilazain’ ny Tompo taminao.
46 And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the LORD,
Ary hoy Maria: Ny foko mankalaza ny Tompo,
47 And my spirit was glad on God my Savior,
Ary ny fanahiko efa ravoravo tamin’ Andriamanitra, Mpamonjy ahy;
48 Because He looked on the lowliness of His maidservant, For behold, from now on all the generations will call me blessed,
Fa efa nijery ny fahambani-toetry ny ankizivaviny Izy. Fa, indro, hatramin’ ny ankehitriny dia hataon’ ny taranaka rehetra ho sambatra aho.
49 For He who is mighty did great things to me, And holy [is] His Name,
Fa ny Mahery efa nanao zavatra lehibe tamiko; Ary masìna ny anarany.
50 And His kindness [is] to generations of generations, To those fearing Him;
Ary ny famindram-pony dia amin’ izay matahotra Azy hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby.
51 He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,
Nanao asa lehibe tamin’ ny sandriny Izy; Nampihahaka ny mpiavonavona tamin’ ny fiheveran’ ny fony Izy.
52 He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,
Nampiala ny lehibe tamin’ ny seza fiandrianany Izy, Ary nanandratra ny ambany kosa.
53 He filled the hungry with good, And the rich He sent away empty;
Ny noana novokisany soa; Fa ny manan-karena kosa nampialainy maina.
54 He has taken hold of His servant Israel, To remember kindness,
Niahy an’ isiraely mpanompony Izy, fa nahatsiaro ny famindram-pony
(Araka ny voalazany tamin’ ny razantsika), tamin’ i Abrahama sy ny taranany mandrakizay. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary remained with her about three months, and turned back to her house.
Ary Maria nitoetra teo amin’ i Elizabeta tokony ho telo volana vao nody tany an-tranony.
57 And to Elizabeth was the time fulfilled for her bringing forth, and she bore a son,
Ary tonga ny andro hahaveloman’ i Elizabeta, dia niteraka zazalahy izy.
58 and the neighbors and her relatives heard that the LORD was making His kindness great with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
Ary ny niara-monina taminy sy ny havany nandre fa efa nohalehibiazin’ ny Tompo ny famindram-pony taminy; dia niara-nifaly taminy ireo.
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,
Ary tamin’ ny andro fahavalo dia tonga hamora ny zaza izy, ka efa saiky hataony hoe Zakaria araka ny anaran-drainy ny anarany.
60 and his mother answering said, “No, but he will be called John.”
Fa ny reniny namaly ka nanao hoe: Tsy izany, fa hatao hoe Jaona izy.
61 And they said to her, “There is none among your relatives who is called by this name,”
Fa hoy izy ireo taminy: Tsy misy na dia iray akory aza amin’ ny havanao izay manana izany anarana izany.
62 and they were making signs to his father, what he would wish him to be called,
Ary nanao baikon’ ny moana tamin’ ny rainy iry ireo, izay tokony ho tiany hatao anarany.
63 and having asked for a tablet, he wrote, saying, “John is his name”; and they all wondered;
Ary nangataka fàfana izy ka nanoratra hoe: Jaona no anarany. Dia gaga avokoa izy rehetra.
64 and his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he was speaking, praising God.
Ary dia nisokatra niaraka tamin’ izay ny vavany, ka afaka niteny ny lelany; dia niteny izy ka nidera an’ Andriamanitra.
65 And fear came on all those dwelling around them, and in all the hill-country of Judea were all these sayings spoken of,
Dia raiki-tahotra izay rehetra niara-monina taminy; ary niely teny amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Jodia rehetra ny lazan’ izany rehetra izany.
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.
Ary izay rehetra nandre dia nandatsaka izany tam-pony ka nanao hoe: Ho zaza hanao ahoana re io? Fa ny tanan’ ny Tompo nomba azy.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Ary dia feno ny Fanahy Masìna Zakaria rainy ka naminany hoe:
68 “Blessed [is] the LORD, the God of Israel, Because He looked on, And worked redemption for His people,
Isaorana anie ny Tompo Andriamanitry ny Isiraely; Fa nitsinjo ny olony Izy ka nanao fanavotana ho azy,
69 And raised a horn of salvation to us, In the house of His servant David,
Ary nanangana tandro-pamonjena ho antsika Amin’ ny taranak’ i Davida mpanompony Izy
(Araka izay nampilazainy ny mpaminaniny masìna hatramin’ ny fahagola), (aiōn g165)
71 Salvation from our enemies, And out of the hand of all hating us,
Dia famonjena antsika amin’ ny fahavalontsika, sy amin’ ny tànan’ izay rehetra mankahala antsika;
72 To do kindness with our fathers, And to be mindful of His holy covenant,
Manefa famindram-po amin’ ny razantsika Izy Sady mahatsiaro ny fanekeny masìna,
73 An oath that He swore to Abraham our father,
Dia ny fianianana izay nianianany tamin’ i Abrahama razantsika,
74 To give to us, without fear, Having been delivered out of the hand of our enemies,
Hanao izay hahazoantsika hanompo Azy tsy amin-tahotra, Satria afaka amin’ ny fahavalontsika isika,
75 To serve Him, in holiness and righteousness Before Him, all the days of our life.
Amin’ ny fahamasinana sy ny fahamarinana eo anatrehany amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainantsika.
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.
Ary ianao, ry zaza, dia hatao hoe mpaminanin’ ny Avo Indrindra; Fa hialoha eo anatrehan’ ny Tompo ianao hamboatra ny lalany.
77 To give knowledge of salvation to His people In forgiveness of their sins,
Hanome ny olony ny fahalalam-pamonjena amin’ ny famelana ny helony,
78 Through the yearnings of our God, In which the rising from on high looked on us,
Noho ny halehiben’ ny famindram-pon’ Andriamanitsika, izay hiposahan’ ny mazava avy any amin’ ny avo ho antsika.
79 To give light to those sitting in darkness and death-shade, To guide our feet to a way of peace.”
Hamirapiratra amin’ izay mipetraka ao amin’ ny maizina sy ao amin’ ny aloky ny fahafatesana, Hanitsy ny diantsika ho amin’ ny lalam-piadanana.
80 And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit, and he was in the deserts until the day of his showing to Israel.
Ary ny zazakely nitombo ka nihahery tam-panahy; ary nitoetra tany an-efitra izy ambara-pahatongan’ ny andro nisehoany tamin’ ny Isiraely.
