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,
Aicae salakah kaom tangtang hmuen kawng thuihaih maeto pacoeng maeto kamtomh poe ah suek hanah paroeai ca tarik kaminawk oh o boeh,
2 as they delivered to us, who from the beginning became eyewitnesses, and officers of the word,
nihcae loe tangsuek na hoi hnukung ah oh o, tamthanglok toksah kaminawk mah, aicae khae thuih ih lok baktih toengah;
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,
kahoih koek Theophila, tangsuek na hoi kaom hmuennawk to kakoep ah thaikop boih moe, hmuen kaom maeto pacoeng maeto kamtomh poe ah, nangcae khaeah tarik nahaeloe hoi tih, tiah poekhaih ka tawnh,
4 that you may know the certainty of the things wherein you were instructed.
to tiah ni ang patuk o ih lok to kahoihah na panoek o tih.
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 siangpahrang, Herod dung ah, Zakaria, tiah ahmin kaom qaima maeto oh, anih loe Abijah ih acaeng ah oh moe, a zu Elizabeth loe Aaron ih acaeng ah oh.
6 and they were both righteous before God, going on in all the commands and righteousnesses of the LORD blameless,
Nihnik loe Sithaw hmaa ah katoeng kami ah oh hoi moe, Angraeng mah paek ih kaalok hoi sak han koi toknawk boih coek koi kaom ai ah a sak hoi.
7 and they had no child, because that Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in their days.
Elizabeth loe caa kak pongah nawkta tawn hoi ai, nihnik loe saning coeh hoi parai boeh.
8 And it came to pass, in his acting as priest, in the order of his division before God,
Anih mah angmah ih kaminawk hoi Sithaw hmaa ah qaima toksakhaih tue phak naah,
9 according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot was to make incense, having gone into the temple of the LORD,
qaimanawk mah sakzong ih atawk baktih toengah, Angraeng tempul thungah akun moe, hmuihoih thlaekhaih loe anih ih tok ah oh.
10 and all the multitude of the people were praying outside, at the hour of the incense.
Hmuihoih thlaek nathuem ah, paroeai kaminawk loe tasa bangah lawkthuih o.
11 And there appeared to him a messenger of the LORD standing on the right side of the altar of the incense,
To naah anih khaeah Angraeng ih van kami maeto amtueng moe, hmuihoih thlaekhaih hmaicam bantang bangah angdoet pae.
12 and Zacharias, having seen, was troubled, and fear fell on him;
Zakaria mah anih to hnuk naah zit moe, tasoehhaih hoiah oh.
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,
Toe van kami mah anih khaeah, Zakaria, zii hmah: na lawkthuihaih Sithaw mah thaih boeh; na zu Elizabeth mah capa maeto na sah pae tih, anih ih ahmin to Johan, tiah sak han oh.
14 and there will be joy to you, and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth,
Anghoehaih hoi oephaih to na tawn tih; anih tapen pongah paroeai kaminawk loe anghoe o tih.
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;
Anih loe Angraeng mikhnuk ah kalen ah om ueloe, misurtui hoi paqui thaih koi hmuen roe nae mak ai; anih loe amno zok thung hoi kamtong Kacai Muithla hoiah koi tih.
16 and he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the LORD their God,
Anih mah paroeai Israel kaminawk to angmacae ih Angraeng khaeah angqoisak tih.
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.”
Anih mah ampanawk ih palungthin to a caanawk khaeah angqoisak tih, lok tahngai ai kaminawk to katoeng kaminawk ih palunghahaih loklam bangah angqoisak ueloe, Angraeng hanah kaminawk omsak coek tih, anih loe Elijah ih palungthin, thacakhaih hoiah Angraeng hmaa ah caeh tih, tiah a naa.
18 And Zacharias said to the messenger, “Whereby will I know this? For I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days?”
Zakaria mah van kami khaeah, Hae hmuen hae kawbangmaw ka panoek thai tih? Kai loe mitong boeh moe, ka zu doeh mitong boeh, tiah a naa.
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,
To naah van kami mah anih khaeah, Kai loe Sithaw hmaa ah angdoe, Gabriel ah ka oh; lok kang thuih moe, kahoih hae anghoehaih tamthangnawk patuek han ih ni nang khaeah ang patoeh.
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.”
Khenah, atue phak naah akoep han koi kang thuih ih loknawk to na tang ai pongah, hae hmuennawk ohhaih ni pha ai karoek to, lok na aa tih, tiah a naa.
21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and wondering at his lingering in the temple,
Kaminawk mah Zakariah to zing o, anih loe tempul thungah akra parai boeh pongah dawnrai o.
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 tasa bang tacawt naah loe, kaminawk khaeah lokthui thai ai boeh: anih loe lok apae ai, kaminawk khaeah ban hoiah ni angmathaih a sak pae: to pongah kaminawk mah anih loe tempul thungah hnuksakhaih a hnuk kalang mue, tiah poek o.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he went away to his house,
Anih loe a toksakhaih boeng pacoengah, angmah im ah amlaem.
24 and after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
To ninawk boeng pacoengah a zu Elizabeth to zokpom; anih loe khrah pangato thung imthung ah anghawk,
25 “Thus the LORD has done to me, in days in which He looked on [me], to take away my reproach among men.”
anih mah ang khet nathuem ah, kaminawk salakah kai kasae thuihaih to takhoe ving hanah, Angraeng mah kai hanah hae hmuen hae sak boeh, tiah a thuih.
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 zokpomhaih khrah tarukto phak naah, Sithaw mah van kami Gabriel to Kalili prae, Nazareth vangpui ah kaom,
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 imthung takoh Joseph, tiah ahmin kaom kami mah hamh ih tangla cuem khaeah patoeh; tangla kacuem ih ahmin loe Meri.
28 And the messenger having come in to her, said, “Greetings, favored one, the LORD [is] with you; blessed [are] you among women”;
Anih khaeah van kami to caeh moe, Kasang koek tahamhoih hnu kami, anghoe ah! Sithaw loe nang hoi nawnto oh: nang loe nongpatanawk thungah tahamhoih kami ah na oh, tiah a naa.
29 and she, having seen, was troubled at his word, and was reasoning of what kind this salutation may be.
Meri mah anih to hnuk naah, dawnrai, a palung thung hoiah kawbaktih kami tapringhaih lok maw vai, tiah poek.
30 And the messenger said to her, “Do not fear, Mary, for you have found favor with God;
Toe van kami mah anih khaeah, Meri, Zii hmah: nang loe Sithaw mah palung tong ih kami ah na oh boeh.
31 and behold, you will conceive in the womb, and will bring forth a Son, and call His Name Jesus;
Khenah, zok na pomh ueloe, caa nongpa maeto na sah tih, anih ih ahmin loe JESU, tiah sak han oh.
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 loe paroeai len tih, Sang koek Capa, tiah kawk o tih: Angraeng Sithaw mah Ampa David ih angraeng tangkhang to anih khaeah paek tih:
33 and He will reign over the house of Jacob for all ages; and of His kingdom there will be no end.” (aiōn g165)
Anih mah Jakob imthung to dungzan ah uk tih; a prae loe boenghaih om mak ai, tiah a naa. (aiōn g165)
34 And Mary said to the messenger, “How will this be, seeing I do not know a husband?”
To naah Meri mah van kami khaeah, Hae hmuen loe kawbangmaw angcoeng thai tih? Nongpa hoi ka om ai bae, tiah a naa.
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;
Van kami mah anih khaeah, Kacai Muithla na nuiah om tih, Kasang koek sakthaihaih tha mah na oh haih tih: to pongah nang khaeah tapen han koi Ciimcai Capa loe Sithaw Capa, tiah kawk tih.
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;
Khenah, nam nawkamya ah kaom Elizabeth doeh mitong pacoengah caa nongpa maeto pomh boeh: anih loe caa kak, toe vaihi zokpomhaih khrah tarukto oh boeh.
37 because nothing will be impossible with God.”
Sithaw han angcoeng thai ai hmuen tidoeh om ai, tiah a naa.
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.
To naah Meri mah, Khenah, kai loe Angraeng ih toksah nongpata ah ni ka oh; na thuih ih lok baktih toengah ka nuiah om nasoe, tiah a naa. To pacoengah van kami mah anih to caehtaak.
39 And Mary having arisen in those days, went into the hill-country, with haste, to a city of Judea,
Meri loe angthawk moe, Judea prae mae nuiah kaom vangpui maeto ah karangah caeh;
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias, and greeted Elizabeth.
Zakariah ih imthung ah akun moe, Elizabeth to lok tapring.
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,
Meri mah tapring ih lok to Elizabeth mah thaih naah, a zok thung ih nawkta to angtawt; to naah Elizabeth loe Kacai Muithla hoiah koi:
42 and spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed [are] you among women, and blessed [is] the Fruit of your womb;
anih mah, Nang loe nongpatanawk thungah tahamhoih kami ah na oh, na zok thung ih athaih doeh tahamhoih.
43 and from where [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord might come to me?
Tipongah maw ka Angraeng ih amno ah ohhaih to kai khaeah ang paek?
44 For behold, when the voice of your salutation came to my ears, the baby in my womb leapt in gladness;
Khenah, nang tapringhaih lok to ka thaih naah, anghoe loiah ka zok thung ih nawkta to amloep tahang.
45 and blessed [is] she who believed, for there will be a completion to the things spoken to her from the LORD.”
Angraeng khae hoi thuih ih loknawk loe anih khaeah akoep tih, tiah tanghaih tawn nongpata loe tahamhoih, tiah tha hoiah a hangh.
46 And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the LORD,
Meri mah, Ka hinghaih pakhra mah Angraeng to pakoeh moe,
47 And my spirit was glad on God my Savior,
pahlongkung Sithaw khaeah palung anghoehaih ka tawnh.
48 Because He looked on the lowliness of His maidservant, For behold, from now on all the generations will call me blessed,
Poek kahnaem a tamna nongpata to anih mah khet boeh: khenah, vaihi hoi kamtong kaminawk boih mah tahamhoih kami, tiah na kawk o tih.
49 For He who is mighty did great things to me, And holy [is] His Name,
Thacak kami mah kai hanah kalen parai hmuennawk to ang sak pae boeh; anih ih ahmin loe ciimcai.
50 And His kindness [is] to generations of generations, To those fearing Him;
Anih palungnathaih loe anih zithaih tawn kaminawk nuiah adung maeto pacoeng maeto khoek to oh.
51 He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,
Anih mah a ban thacakhaih to amtuengsak moe, poeksang kaminawk to anghaehsak phaeng.
52 He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,
Thacak kaminawk to angmacae ih angraeng tangkhang nui hoiah pakhrak tathuk moe, poek pahnaem kaminawk to tapom tahang.
53 He filled the hungry with good, And the rich He sent away empty;
Zok amthlam kaminawk to kahoih hmuennawk hoiah zok amhahsak moe, angraengnawk to bangkrai ah patoeh ving.
54 He has taken hold of His servant Israel, To remember kindness,
A palungnathaih to pahnet ai pongah a tamna Israel to abomh;
aicae ampanawk khaeah a thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Abraham hoi a caanawk khaeah doeh boeng ai ah a thuih, tiah thuih. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary remained with her about three months, and turned back to her house.
Meri loe Elizabeth hoi khrah thumto oh pacoengah, angmah im ah amlaem.
57 And to Elizabeth was the time fulfilled for her bringing forth, and she bore a son,
Elizabeth nawkta tapenhaih tue phak naah loe, anih mah caa nongpa maeto sak.
58 and the neighbors and her relatives heard that the LORD was making His kindness great with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
Kawkruk maw Angraeng mah a palungnathaih anih nuiah amtuengsak, tiah imtaeng kaminawk hoi angmah ih nawkamyanawk mah thaih o naah, anih to anghoe o haih.
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,
Ni tazetto naah loe tangzat hin aah hanah nawkta to a caeh o haih; nihcae mah anih ih ahmin loe ampa ih ahmin palawk hanah Zakariah, tiah sak han oh, tiah a thuih o.
60 and his mother answering said, “No, but he will be called John.”
Amno mah, to tih na ai ni; anih ih ahmin loe Johan, tiah sak han oh, tiah a naa.
61 And they said to her, “There is none among your relatives who is called by this name,”
Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Na caengnawk thungah hae baktih ahmin hae om ai, tiah a naa o.
62 and they were making signs to his father, what he would wish him to be called,
To pongah nihcae mah nawkta ih ahmin kawbangmaw sak han, tiah ampa khaeah ban hoi angmathaih a sak pae moe, a dueng o.
63 and having asked for a tablet, he wrote, saying, “John is his name”; and they all wondered;
To naah anih mah ca trikhaih thlung kangphaek to hnik moe, Anih ih ahmin loe Johan, tiah tarik: to naah nihcae dawnrai o boih.
64 and his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he was speaking, praising God.
Akra ai ah anih ih pakha to am-ongh pae moe, palai doeh name pae roep, anih loe lok apaeh moe, Sithaw to pakoeh.
65 And fear came on all those dwelling around them, and in all the hill-country of Judea were all these sayings spoken of,
To tiah hmuen to oh pacoengah nihcae taengah kaom kaminawk boih nuiah zithaih to phak: hae tiah kaom hmuen kawng to Judea prae mae nuiah kaom kaminawk boih mah thuih o.
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.
To lok thaih kaminawk boih mah, Angraeng ih ban anih nuiah oh pongah, hae nawkta loe kawbaktih nawkta ah maw om tih vai? tiah palung thung hoiah a poek o.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Ampa Zakariah loe Kacai Muithla hoiah koi moe,
68 “Blessed [is] the LORD, the God of Israel, Because He looked on, And worked redemption for His people,
Israel kaminawk ih Sithaw loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe; anih loe angmah ih kaminawk khaeah paqaih moe, angmah ih kaminawk to akrang boeh,
69 And raised a horn of salvation to us, In the house of His servant David,

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,
anih loe aicae ampa Abraham khaeah lokkamhaih to sak boeh:
74 To give to us, without fear, Having been delivered out of the hand of our enemies,

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.
Nawkta, nang loe, Kasang koek ih tahmaa ah na oh, tiah kawk o tih: nang loe Anih ih loklam paroep hanah Angraeng hmaa ah na caeh tih;
77 To give knowledge of salvation to His people In forgiveness of their sins,

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.
Nawkta loe poekhaih palungthin thacakhaih hoiah qoeng tahang, anih loe Israel kaminawk khaeah amtueng ai karoek to praezaek ah khosak.
