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,
Sumbu batu batona sonika mambu momo mavioka va khatitsikꞌeto;
2 as they delivered to us, who from the beginning became eyewitnesses, and officers of the word,
banga bubatukambila mawu kuidi batu bobo baba bambangi bamona mesotona vana thonono ayi baba bisadi bi mambu ma Nzambi.
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,
A mueni Tewofile, ndimona ti didi dimbote, sumbu ndifiongunina bumbotemambu moso tona vana thonono mu kusonikina mawu boso bu malandikinini
4 that you may know the certainty of the things wherein you were instructed.
muingi wuzaba kiedika ki mambu momo wulongu.
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;
Mu thangu Elode kaba ntinu mu Yuda, muba ayi nganga Nzambi yimosi, dizina diandi Zakali. Niandi wuba mu dikabu di Abia ayi nketo andi Elizabeti wuba mu nkuna Aloni.
6 and they were both righteous before God, going on in all the commands and righteousnesses of the LORD blameless,
Bawu buadi baba batu basonga va meso ma Nzambi ayi baba kinzikangazithumunu zioso ayi mina mioso mi Pfumu mu kambu tsembolo.
7 and they had no child, because that Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in their days.
Basia buta bana ko bila Elizabeti wuba sita ayi bawu buadi baba banuna ngolo.
8 And it came to pass, in his acting as priest, in the order of his division before God,
Lumbu kimosi Zakali kaba sala kisalu kiandi ki kinganga Nzambi va ntuala Nzambi bila yiba thangu yi dikabu diandi;
9 according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot was to make incense, having gone into the temple of the LORD,
landila bu bela kifu ki zinganga Nzambi, niandi wubuilu tsombo mu kota mu vinga ki nlongo ki Pfumu mu diambu di yoka ansa.
10 and all the multitude of the people were praying outside, at the hour of the incense.
Mu thangu yinyokongo ansa, nkangu woso wu batu widi mu lusambulu ku nganda.
11 And there appeared to him a messenger of the LORD standing on the right side of the altar of the incense,
Tumbu zimbukila mbasi yi Pfumu yintotukila, buna yitelimini va koko ku lubakala lu diziku di banyokilanga ansa.
12 and Zacharias, having seen, was troubled, and fear fell on him;
Zakali bu kammona, weka ntita ayi weka mona tsisi.
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,
Vayi mbasi yinkamba: —A Zakali, bika mona tsisi bila Nzambi wuwilu lusambulu luaku, diawu nketoꞌaku Elizabeti wela kubutila muana wu bakala ayi wela kuntedilanga Yowani.
14 and there will be joy to you, and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth,
Wala ba tho yi khini ayi di tsaya kuidi ngeyo ayi batu bawombo bela mona khini mu mbutukulu andi.
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;
Wela ba wunneni va ntuala Pfumu, kalendi nua kadi vinu ko, kadi malavu mankolosongo ko. Wela ba wufuluka mu Pheve Yinlongo tona mu vumu ki nguandi.
16 and he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the LORD their God,
Wela vutula bana ba Iseli bawombo kuidi Nzambi awu.
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.”
Wela tuamina Pfumu ku ntuala mu mpeve ayi mu lulendo lu Eli mu diambu di vutula nguizani va khatitsika madisa ayi bana bawu, mu diambu di batu bobo badi matingu batula mu tezo ki yindula bangabatu basonga ayi mu kubika batu bakubama mu diambu di Pfumu.
18 And Zacharias said to the messenger, “Whereby will I know this? For I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days?”
Buna Zakali wuyuvula mbasi: —A buevi ndiela bu zabila e? Bila minu veka ndieka nunu ki ngolo ayi nketo ama mimvu miwombo keka.
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,
Mbasi yimvutudila: —Minu ndidi Ngabi, minu nditelamanga va ntuala Nzambi, thumunu mu kuyolukila ayi ku kamba minsamu miami mimbote.
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.”
Vayi weka kituka dibaba ayi wulendi baka bu buela yolukilanga ko nate lumbu kioki mambu mama mela vangama. Bobo buela bela bila wusi wilukila ko mambu mama, momo mela vangama mu thangu yifuana.
21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and wondering at his lingering in the temple,
Vayi mu thangu beni, nkangu wu batu wuba vingila Zakali. Batu basimina bu bamona ti wulembu zingila muna vinga ki nlongo.
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.
Bu katotuka, kasi baka bu yolukila ko batu bobo bakutakana. Buna basudika ti tsongolo kamueni muna vinga nlongo. Niandi mu bidimbu kaba kuba yolukila ayi wusiala dibaba.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he went away to his house,
Bu kamanisa bilumbu biandi bi kisalu, buna wuvutuka ku nzoꞌandi.
24 and after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Bilumbu bina bu bivioka, nketo andi Elizabeti weka mu buemba. Vayi zingondi zitanu kasuamina bila wukamba ti:
25 “Thus the LORD has done to me, in days in which He looked on [me], to take away my reproach among men.”
—Tala maphangidi Pfumu! Niandi wumbengudidi thalu yimbote ayi botudi zitsoni ziama va meso ma batu boso.
26 And in the sixth month the messenger Gabriel was sent by God, to a city of Galilee, the name of which [is] Nazareth,
Mu ngondi yi nsambanu, Nzambi wufidisa mbasi Ngabi ku divula dimosi didi mu Ngalili. Dizina di divula beni Nazaleti,
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.
kuidi muana ndumba wumosi wuwizana makuela ayi bakala dimosi, diba mu nkuna Davidi. Dizina di bakala beni Zefu ayi dizina di muana ndumba Maliya.
28 And the messenger having come in to her, said, “Greetings, favored one, the LORD [is] with you; blessed [are] you among women”;
—Mboti aku e! Ngeyo wumonokono nlemvo kuidi Nzambi! Pfumu widi yaku!
29 and she, having seen, was troubled at his word, and was reasoning of what kind this salutation may be.
Maliya weka mona boma bu kawa mambu momo. Wuba ku kiyuvula tsundu yi mbote yoyo.
30 And the messenger said to her, “Do not fear, Mary, for you have found favor with God;
Buna mbasi yinkamba: —Bika mona tsisi Maliya bila Nzambi wumueni kiadi.
31 and behold, you will conceive in the womb, and will bring forth a Son, and call His Name Jesus;
Tala: wela ba mu buemba ayi wela buta muana wu bakala; wela kuntedilanga Yesu.
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,
Wela ba wunneni. Wela tedudulungu “Nzambi yizangama” ayi Pfumu Nzambi wela kumvana kundu ki kipfumu ki nkulu andi Davidi.
33 and He will reign over the house of Jacob for all ages; and of His kingdom there will be no end.” (aiōn g165)
Wela biadilanga, mu zithangu zioso, batu batotukila mu Yakobi ayilubialu luandi lulendi suka ko. (aiōn g165)
34 And Mary said to the messenger, “How will this be, seeing I do not know a husband?”
Maliya wukamba Mbasi: —A buevi mela vangimina bila ndisi zaba nitu yi bakala ko?
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;
Mbasi yimvutudila: —Pheve Yinlongo yela kuluka mu ngeyo ayi kitsusula ki lulendo lu Nzambi wuzangama kiela kufukidila. Diawu wunlongo wela butuka, wela tedudulungu Muana wu Nzambi.
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;
Tala khombꞌaku Elizabeti, mamvandi widi mu buemba bu muana wu bakala mu bununu buandi. Niandi baba tedilanga sita weka mu ngondi andi yi nsambanu.
37 because nothing will be impossible with God.”
Bila kuisi ko diambu diela lembakana vanga Nzambi.
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.
Buna Maliya wuvutula: —Minu ndidi kisadi ki Pfumu. Bika mavangimina kuidi minu boso buididi mambu maku. Buna mbasi yimbika.
39 And Mary having arisen in those days, went into the hill-country, with haste, to a city of Judea,
Mu bilumbu bina, Maliya wuyenda nsualu-nsualu ku divula didiku miongo, mu zunga ki Yuda.
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias, and greeted Elizabeth.
Wukota mu nzo Zakali ayi wuvana Elizabeti mboti.
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,
Thangu Elizabeti kawa mbote yi Maliya muanꞌandi wunikuka mu vumu kiandi. Buna wuwala mu Pheve Yinlongo.
42 and spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed [are] you among women, and blessed [is] the Fruit of your womb;
Ayi wuyamikina mu mbembo yingolo: —Ngeyo widi wusakumunu va miudi baketo ayi muana widi mu vumu kiaku widi wusakumunu.
43 and from where [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord might come to me?
Buna kuevi kubedi diambu diadi ti ngudi yi Pfumu ama kiza kuidi minu e?
44 For behold, when the voice of your salutation came to my ears, the baby in my womb leapt in gladness;
Bila mu thangu nguilu mbotiꞌaku mu matu mama buna muana wunikukini mu vumu kiama mu diambu di khini.
45 and blessed [is] she who believed, for there will be a completion to the things spoken to her from the LORD.”
Khini kuidi nketo wowo wuwilukila bila mambu momo makamba Pfumu mu diambu diandi mela vangama.
46 And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the LORD,
Buna Maliya wukamba: Muelꞌama wunkembisanga nzitusu wu Pfumu
47 And my spirit was glad on God my Savior,
ayi mpeve yama yilembo mona khini mu diambu di Nzambi, Mvulusi ama.
48 Because He looked on the lowliness of His maidservant, For behold, from now on all the generations will call me blessed,
Bila wubengudi thaluꞌandi va kisadi kiandi kikambulu mfunu, diawu zitsungi zioso ziela kuthedilanga nketo wu zikhini.
49 For He who is mighty did great things to me, And holy [is] His Name,
Bila Nzambi yi zingolo zioso wuphangidi mambu manneni Dizina diandi didi dinlongo.
50 And His kindness [is] to generations of generations, To those fearing Him;
Ayi mamboti mandi mela zingilanga mu tsungi ka tsungi, kuidi bobo ba kunkizikanga.
51 He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,
Wumonikisidi zingolo ziandi mu koko kuandi, wusasikisidi batu badi luniemo mu mintima miawu
52 He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,
Wukuludi batu ba lulendo mu bikundu biawu bi kipfumu ayi wunangikidi batu bobo badi balembama
53 He filled the hungry with good, And the rich He sent away empty;
Wuyukutisidi batu bobo baba nzala mu bima bimbote. Wusindika bamvuama mioko yi mioko
54 He has taken hold of His servant Israel, To remember kindness,
Wusadisidi kisadi kiandi Iseli mu thebukulu yi moyo mu mambote mandi.
Banga buididi tsila yi kavana bakulu beto kuidi Abalahami ayi kuidi nkunꞌandi mu zithangu zioso. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary remained with her about three months, and turned back to her house.
Tezo ki zingondi zitatu Mliya kavuandila kuidi Elizabeti, bosi wuvutuka ku nzoꞌandi.
57 And to Elizabeth was the time fulfilled for her bringing forth, and she bore a son,
Lumbu ki Elizabeti ki buta bu kifuana, wubuta muana wu bakala.
58 and the neighbors and her relatives heard that the LORD was making His kindness great with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
Bakundi bandi ayi bibutu biandi bu bawa phila Pfumu kamonisina mambote mandi, bamona khini va kimosi ayi niandi.
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,
Muana bu kadukisa dinana di bilumbu, bayiza mu diambu di nzengulu yi nitu yi kibakala. Bawu boso bazola kuntedila Zakali banga dizina di siandi,
60 and his mother answering said, “No, but he will be called John.”
vayi nguandi wukamba ti: —Nana, dizina diandi Yowani.
61 And they said to her, “There is none among your relatives who is called by this name,”
Vayi bawu bankamba: —Kadi mutu wumosi mu dikanda diaku kasi ko dizina diodi.
62 and they were making signs to his father, what he would wish him to be called,
Buna bayuvula dise, mu bidimbu, mu zaba dizina mbi katidi vana muana.
63 and having asked for a tablet, he wrote, saying, “John is his name”; and they all wondered;
Wulomba tini ki dibaya; muna kasonika ti: —Dizina diandi Yowani. Buna batu boso basimina.
64 and his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he was speaking, praising God.
Muna thangu yina, munu andi wuzibudidi ayi ludimi luandi luniangukidi. Wuyolukidi ayi wukembisidi Nzambi.
65 And fear came on all those dwelling around them, and in all the hill-country of Judea were all these sayings spoken of,
Batu babo bafikasana yawu bamona tsisi, ayi, bayolukilamambu beni mu tsi yoso yi miongo mi Yuda.
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.
Babo bawa nsamu beni balunda wawu mu mintima miawu ayi batuba: “A buna muana beni buevi kela bela e?” Bila Pfumu wuba yandi.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Dise diandi Zakali wufuluka mu Pheve Yinlongo, diawu kabikudila ti:
68 “Blessed [is] the LORD, the God of Israel, Because He looked on, And worked redemption for His people,
Nkembo kuidi Pfumu, Nzambi yi Iseli Bila wuyiza tala batu bandi ayi wuba kudidi
69 And raised a horn of salvation to us, In the house of His servant David,
Wututotudidi nkudi wu lulendo mu nkuna Davidi, kisadi kiandi.
Banga bu kayolukila tona vana thonono mu miunu mi mimbikudi miandi minlongo: (aiōn g165)
71 Salvation from our enemies, And out of the hand of all hating us,
ti wela ku tukula mu mioko mi bambeni zieto; mu mioko mi batu bobo ba kutulendanga.
72 To do kindness with our fathers, And to be mindful of His holy covenant,
Mu diambu di dukisa mambote kuidi bakulu beto ayi mu diambu di tebukila nguizani andi yinlongo moyo;
73 An oath that He swore to Abraham our father,
ayi tebukila moyo ndefi yoyo kalevila nkulu eto Abalahami
74 To give to us, without fear, Having been delivered out of the hand of our enemies,
mu kutuvana diluaku di kunsadila mu kambu tsisi bu kameni kutukula mu mioko mi bambeni zieto
75 To serve Him, in holiness and righteousness Before Him, all the days of our life.
mu bunlongo ayi mu busonga, mu bilumbu bieto bi luzingu, va ntualꞌandi.
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.
Ngeyo muana, wela tedudulungu Mbikudi wu Nzambi yizangama bila ngeyo wela tuaminina Pfumu ku ntualꞌandi mu diambu di kubika nzilꞌandi;
77 To give knowledge of salvation to His people In forgiveness of their sins,
mu diambu di zabikisa kuidi batu bandi ti Nzambi wumveni phulusu ayi wunlemvukidi masumu andi.
78 Through the yearnings of our God, In which the rising from on high looked on us,
Bila Nzambi eto fulukidi mu diadi ayi mu mambote Diawu mbuetete yi nsuka yela totukila ku yilu mu diambu dieto
79 To give light to those sitting in darkness and death-shade, To guide our feet to a way of peace.”
mu diambu di kienzula bobo badi mu tombi ayi bobo badi mu kini ki lufua, ayi mu diambu di diaisa zithambi zieto mu nzila yi ndembama.
80 And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit, and he was in the deserts until the day of his showing to Israel.
Muana wuyunduka ayi wukinda mu mpeve. Bosi wuzingila mu bibuangu bisuama nate mu lumbu kioki kakimonisa va meso ma batu ba Iseli.
