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,
Mkulungu Teofili. Vandu vamahele valingi kuyandika bwina mambu gegahengiki pagati yitu.
2 as they delivered to us, who from the beginning became eyewitnesses, and officers of the word,
Vayandiki ngati chevatijovili vevagaweni penapo pegatumbukini magono ga mumbele mambu genago na kuvakokosela lilovi la Chapanga.
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,
Mewa na Mkulungu Teofili penamali kulolokesa uchakaka waki kwa magono gamahele, nilola mbanga nikuyandikila veve kwa uchakaka waki.
4 that you may know the certainty of the things wherein you were instructed.
Nikiti chenichi muni nigana wamwene umanyayi mambu goha gevakuwulili.
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;
Lukumbi Helodi peavi Nkosi wa ku Yudea, ndi pavi na Mteta wa Chapanga mweikemiwa Zakalia wa chikundi cha uteta cha Abiya, na mdala waki avi Elizabeti wa lukolo lwa Aloni.
6 and they were both righteous before God, going on in all the commands and righteousnesses of the LORD blameless,
Voha vavili vahenga ga kumganisa Chapanga na kuyidakila mihilu na malagizu ga Bambu changabuda.
7 and they had no child, because that Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in their days.
Vavi lepi na mwana mbaka muugogolo wavi, ndava Elizabeti avi lepi na chiveleku.
8 And it came to pass, in his acting as priest, in the order of his division before God,
Ligono limonga, Zakalia peavi mukuhenga lihengu laki la uteta mu Nyumba ya Chapanga,
9 according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot was to make incense, having gone into the temple of the LORD,
Ngati cheyavili mivelu ya vamteta va Chapanga, Zakalia ahaguliwi kwa gudugudu kuyingila mu Nyumba ya Bambu ndava ya kuhukisa ubani.
10 and all the multitude of the people were praying outside, at the hour of the incense.
Na lukumbi lwa kuhukisa ubani palwahikili, vala voha vevakonganiki kumuyupa Chapanga vavi cha kuvala vayupayi.
11 And there appeared to him a messenger of the LORD standing on the right side of the altar of the incense,
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Bambu, akamuhumila na kuyima upandi wa kulyela wa lusanja lwa luteta lwa kuhukisa ubani.
12 and Zacharias, having seen, was troubled, and fear fell on him;
Zakalia peamuweni mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga yula, akakenyemuka.
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,
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akamjovela, “Zakalia, kotoka kuyogopa muni Bambu ayuwini chawamuyupili, ndava mdala waku Elizabeti yati akubabila mwana mgosi na veve walamkemela Yohani.
14 and there will be joy to you, and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth,
Ndi wamwene yati uheka pavaha na vandu vamahele valahekelela ndava ya kuvelekewa kwaki.
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;
Mwenuyo yati ivya mkulu, pamihu ga Bambu, alanywa lepi divayi wala ugimbi, yati ilongoswa na Mpungu Msopi kuhumila mulileme la nyina waki.
16 and he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the LORD their God,
Yati akuvawuyisa vandu vamahele wa pa Isilaeli, vamuwuyilayi Bambu Chapanga wavi.
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.”
Yati akumlongolela Bambu kuni ilongosiwa na makakala na Mpungu ngati Eliya. Ndava ya kuvatepulanisa vadadi na vana vavi, yati avakita vangamyidakila vavyayi na luhala ngati lwa vala vevakumyidikila, na kumtendelekela Bambu vandu vaki.”
18 And Zacharias said to the messenger, “Whereby will I know this? For I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days?”
Zakalia akamkota Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga, “Yati nimanya wuli ngati givya chenicho? Muni nene na mdala wangu tavagogolo.”
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,
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akayangula, “Nene na Gabulieli na mtumisi wa Chapanga. Ndi anitumili nijova na veve nikujovela lilovi la bwina lenili.
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.”
Yuwanila, yati wivya ngajova yati nakuhotola kujova, mbaka ligono lila pegihumila ago ndava ubeli kunisadika malovi gangu gene gihumila palukumbi lwaki.”
21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and wondering at his lingering in the temple,
Lukumbi lwenulo vandu vevamulindilayi Zakalia kuvala vakakangasa, muni atamakisi lukumbi lutali mu Nyumba ya Chapanga.
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.
Peahumili kuvala nakuhotola kujova na vayaki, vayaki vakamanya kuvya mu Nyumba ya Chapanga mula, muyavi agaweni maono ndi akayendelela kulangisa na mawoko muni avi ngajova.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he went away to his house,
Lukumbi lwaki lwa kuhenga lihengu la uteta palwamaliki, akawuya kunyumba yaki.
24 and after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Lukumbi luhupi palwamaliki Elizabeti mdala wa Zakalia yula akavya na ndumbu, akawela munyumba miheyi mhanu,
25 “Thus the LORD has done to me, in days in which He looked on [me], to take away my reproach among men.”
kuni ajova “Bambu anitangatili na aniloli, hinu cheaniwusili soni pavandu!”
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 mwehi wa sita, Chapanga amtumili mtumu waki wa kunani Gabulieli kumuji wa Nazaleti, ku Galilaya.
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.
Kwa kamwali mmonga mwavamkemela Maliya, Mwenuyo ahongiwi na mgosi mmonga liina laki Yosefu wa lukolo lwa Daudi.
28 And the messenger having come in to her, said, “Greetings, favored one, the LORD [is] with you; blessed [are] you among women”;
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga Akamuhegelela akamjambusa, “Tikuwoni! Bambu avi pamonga na veve kangi akugubiki uganu waki!”
29 and she, having seen, was troubled at his word, and was reasoning of what kind this salutation may be.
Maliya peayuwini malovi gala, akakenyemuka, akahololela, jambusa yeniyi mana yaki kyani?
30 And the messenger said to her, “Do not fear, Mary, for you have found favor with God;
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akamjovela, “Kotoka kuyogopa Maliya, muni Chapanga aganisiwi na veve.
31 and behold, you will conceive in the womb, and will bring forth a Son, and call His Name Jesus;
Walavya na ndumbu, walaveleka mwana mgosi, yati ukumkemela liina laki 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,
Mwenuyo yati ivya mkulu, yati ikemelewa Mwana wa Chapanga Mkulu. Bambu Chapanga yati amuvika kuvya Nkosi, ngati cheamuviki Nkosi Daudi mweavi gogo waki.
33 and He will reign over the house of Jacob for all ages; and of His kingdom there will be no end.” (aiōn g165)
Ndi yati ivya Nkosi wa lukolo lwa Yakobo magono goha, na unkosi waki wangali na mwishu!” (aiōn g165)
34 And Mary said to the messenger, “How will this be, seeing I do not know a husband?”
Maliya akamyangula, “Genago galavya wuli, muni nene nangammanya mgosi?”
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;
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akayangula, “Mpungu Msopi yati ukuhelelela, na uhotola waki Chapanga Mkulu walakugubika ngati chimuwili, muni mwana mweubwela kumveleka uyo, yati ikemelawa msopi na Mwana wa Chapanga.
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;
Hati mlongo waku Elizabeti, agegi ndumbu ya mwana mgosi na hinu mumwehi wa sita, pamonga na ugogolo waki, mweamanyikini na vandu kuvya ngaveleka.
37 because nothing will be impossible with God.”
Muni kawaka lilovi langahotoleka kwa Chapanga.”
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.
Maliya akajova, “Nene nivii penapa namvanda wa bambu, nikitiwayi ngati chaukajovili.” Ndi mtumi wa kunani kwa Chapanga akawuka.
39 And Mary having arisen in those days, went into the hill-country, with haste, to a city of Judea,
Ndi lwapiti lepi lukumbi lutali, Maliya akapanganyika akayumbatika kuhamba kumuji wewavi kuvidunda vya ku Yudea.
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias, and greeted Elizabeth.
Kwenuko akayingila munyumba ya Zakalia akamjambusa Elizabeti.
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,
Bahapo Elizabeti peayuwini jambusa ya Maliya, kamwana kakahumba chaluheku mulileme la Elizabeti. Elizabeti akalongoswa Mpungu Msopi
42 and spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed [are] you among women, and blessed [is] the Fruit of your womb;
akajova kwa lwami luvaha, “Umotisiwi kuliku vadala voha, na mweubwela kumveleka huyo amotisiwi!
43 and from where [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord might come to me?
Nene nayani hati nyina wa Bambu wangu anibwelili?
44 For behold, when the voice of your salutation came to my ears, the baby in my womb leapt in gladness;
Nikujovela, panayuwini jambusa yaku, kamwana kakahumba mulileme langu chaluheku.
45 and blessed [is] she who believed, for there will be a completion to the things spoken to her from the LORD.”
Umotisiwi veve mweusadika kuvya yati gihumila gala geakujovili Bambu.”
46 And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the LORD,
Maliya akajova, “Mtima wangu ukumlumba Bambu,
47 And my spirit was glad on God my Savior,
mpungu wangu umhekela Bambu, ndava Msangula wangu.
48 Because He looked on the lowliness of His maidservant, For behold, from now on all the generations will call me blessed,
Muni aulolili cha lipyana ungolongondi wa mvanda waki! Kutumbula hinu viveleku vyoha yati vakunikemela mwenisangalwiki,
49 For He who is mighty did great things to me, And holy [is] His Name,
ndava muni Chapanga ana makakala anihengili gakulu, na liina laki ndi msopi
50 And His kindness [is] to generations of generations, To those fearing Him;
Chivelekelu mbaka chivelekelu mwene magono goha avi na lipyana kwa vandu vevakumtopesa.
51 He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,
Alangisi makakala gaki kwa kukita mambu gakulu. Avapechengini vevimeka mumaholo ga mitima yavi.
52 He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,
Avahelisi vankosi vana makakala kuhumila muvigoda vya kulongosa, na avakwesi vevavi ngolongondi.
53 He filled the hungry with good, And the rich He sent away empty;
Vangangu avayukutisi mambu gabwina, na vana vindu vyamahele avalekili vahamba mawoko gawaka.
54 He has taken hold of His servant Israel, To remember kindness,
Amtangatili mulima wa Isilaeli mtumi waki. Akumbwiki lipyana laki,
Ngati chaajovili kuvya na lipyana kwa Ibulahimu na chivelekelu chaki, magono goha.” (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary remained with her about three months, and turned back to her house.
Maliya akatama kwa Elizabeti ngati miyehi yidatu, ndi akawuya kunyumba yaki.
57 And to Elizabeth was the time fulfilled for her bringing forth, and she bore a son,
Palwahiki lukumbi lwa Elizabeti kuveleka ndi akavya na mwana mgosi.
58 and the neighbors and her relatives heard that the LORD was making His kindness great with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
Vandu va mu lukolo na veitamanila nawu papipi, pevayuwini Bambu amkitili lipyana neju, voha vakahekelela pamonga nayu.
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,
Ligono la nane vakabwela kumdumula jandu mwana, vaganayi kumpela liina Zakalia, liina la dadi waki.
60 and his mother answering said, “No, but he will be called John.”
Nambu nyina waki akajova, “Lepi, mwenuyu ikemelewa Yohani.”
61 And they said to her, “There is none among your relatives who is called by this name,”
Vakamjovela, “Kawaka mu lukolo lwaki mweavi na liina ngati lenili!”
62 and they were making signs to his father, what he would wish him to be called,
Hinu vakamkota dadi waki chakumlangisa, muni vamanyayi aganili kumpela liina loki.
63 and having asked for a tablet, he wrote, saying, “John is his name”; and they all wondered;
Zakalia akayupa chibawu cha kuyandikila, akayandika, “Liina laki Yohani.” Vandu voha vakakangasa!
64 and his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he was speaking, praising God.
Bahapo mlomo wa Zakalia akatumbula kulongela kangi akamulumba Chapanga.
65 And fear came on all those dwelling around them, and in all the hill-country of Judea were all these sayings spoken of,
Vandu voha veatama nawu vakavya na wogohi, mambu ago gakalongaleka mulima woha wa vidunda vya ku Yudea.
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.
Vandu voha vevayuwini mambu genago, vakaholalela mumitima yavi na kukotana vene kwa vene mumitima yavi, “Mwe mwana uyu yati ivya wuli?” Chakaka, makakala ga Bambu gavi pamonga na mwene.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Zakalia dadi mwana yula akalongoswa na Mpungu Msopi akatumbula kulotela ulota uwu.
68 “Blessed [is] the LORD, the God of Israel, Because He looked on, And worked redemption for His people,
“Ulumbiwa Bambu Chapanga wa Isilaeli! Ndava ubweli kuvatangatila vandu vaki na kuvagombola.
69 And raised a horn of salvation to us, In the house of His servant David,
Atipeli Msangula mkekesi, mu chiveleku cha Daudi mtumisi waki.
Ndi atijovili kadeni munjila ya vamlota vaki va msopi, (aiōn g165)
71 Salvation from our enemies, And out of the hand of all hating us,
Yati atisangula kuhuma mu mawoko ga makoko gitu, na mumakakala ga voha vavakutihakalila.
72 To do kindness with our fathers, And to be mindful of His holy covenant,
Ajovili yati avakitila lipyana vagogo vitu na akulihololela lilaganu laki la msopi.
73 An oath that He swore to Abraham our father,
Chilapu alapili kwa dadi witu Ibulahimu, kuvya akutitangatila tete
74 To give to us, without fear, Having been delivered out of the hand of our enemies,
tigomboka kuhuma mu mawoko ga makoko gitu, na timugundamila changali wogohi,
75 To serve Him, in holiness and righteousness Before Him, all the days of our life.
muusopi na kukita gegakumganisa Chapanga, magono goha ga wumi witu.”
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.
“Wamwanangu veve, yati ukemelewa, mlota wa Chapanga mkulu, ndava walamlongolela Bambu kumkwalila njila yaki,
77 To give knowledge of salvation to His people In forgiveness of their sins,
na kuvakokosela vandu kuvya valasanguliwa kwa kulekekesewa kumbudila Chapanga wavi.
78 Through the yearnings of our God, In which the rising from on high looked on us,
Chapanga witu yati ikita genago ndava lipyana ya mtima waki wa ngolongondi. Usangula waki yati ubwela kuhuma kunani ngati lumuli chelulangasa chelihumila lilanga,
79 To give light to those sitting in darkness and death-shade, To guide our feet to a way of peace.”
na kuvalangasila voha vevitama muchitita chikulu cha lifwa, na kutilongosa titama wumi wa uteke.”
80 And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit, and he was in the deserts until the day of his showing to Israel.
Mwana yula akakula, na akakangamala mumpungu waki. Akatama kulugangatu mbaka ligono paajilangisi pavandu va pa Isilaeli.
