Luke 1
1 Seeing that many have taken it in hand to draw up an account of those matters which have been fully established among us,
Mamih taengah aka soep tangtae hno kah cilol te muep a thuep tih boelrhai vaengah,
2 just as they reported them to us, who were from beginning eye- witnesses and ministers of the word,
oltak kah tueihyoeih la aka om rhoek neh a tongcuek lamloh loh aka hmu rhep rhoek loh mamih taengah m'paek uh vanbangla,
3 it seemed good to me also accurately, from the very beginning, to write them to you in order, most excellent Theophilus,
kai khaw khaeh khaeh boeih ka thuep koep tih hlangcong Theophilu nang taengah daek ham tluep ka poek.
4 so that you may know the certainty of the story which you have been taught by the word of mouth.
Te daengah ni hiluepnah ol loh n'thuituen te khaw na ming eh.
5 In the reign of Herod, King of Judea, there was a certain priest, named Zachariah, belonging to the class of Abijah. He had a wife named Elizabeth,
Judea manghai Herod tue vaeng ah, Abijah rhoihui khosoih pakhat, a ming ah Zekhariah te om tih Elizabeth aka ming nah Aaron canu te a yuu nah.
6 who was a descendant of Aaron. They were both righteous in the sight of the Lord, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the law, blameless.
Pathen hmaiah a dueng la bok om rhoi. Boeipa kah rhilam neh olpaek cungkuem dongah cuemthuek la pongpa rhoi.
7 Now they had no child, for Elizabeth was barren, and both were far advanced in years.
Tedae Elizabeth tah cakol la om tih camoe a om kolla a kum khaw patong la bok om rhoi coeng.
8 Now while Zachariah was acting as priest before God in the due course of his class, it fell to his lot, according to the custom of priesthood,
Pathen hmaiah a khosoih vaengkah bangla anih rhoihui te aitlaeng loh a pha.
9 to enter into the sanctuary of the Lord and to burn incense.
Khosoih kah khosing bangla, Boeipa kah bawkim khuiah kun tih hmueihphum ham a yo.
10 And the whole multitude of the people were without, praying at the hour of incense.
Bo-ul tue vaengah pilnam khuikah aka om rhaengpuei boeih khaw poeng ah thangthui uh.
11 Then there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
Te vaengah Boeipa kah puencawn tah a taengah a phoe pah tih bo-ul hmueihtuk kah bantang ah pai.
12 And as he saw him Zachariah was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
Zekhariah loh a thuen doela a sawt dongah rhihnah loh anih a tlak thil.
13 But the Angel said to him. "Do not be afraid, Zachariah, because your petition has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.
Tedae anih te puencawn pakhat loh, “Zekhariah rhih boeh, nang kah rhenbihnah te a hnatun coeng dongah na yuu Elizabeth loh nang ham capa pakhat han cun vetih, a ming te Johan la na khue ni.
14 "And he shall be to you a joy and an exultation, and many shall rejoice over his birth.
Nang ham omngaihnah neh kohoenah la om vetih anih kah rhuirhong dongah boeih omngaih uh ni.
15 "For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, "He shall drink neither wine nor strong drink, "He shall be filled with the Holy Spirit from the hour of his birth,
Boeipa hmaiah a len la om vetih, misurtui neh yu te o loengloeng mahpawh. A manu bung khuiah a om vaengah Mueihla Cim neh baetawt ni.
16 "And shall win many of the sons of Israel to the Lord, their God.
Israel ca rhoek te a Boeipa Pathen taengla muep a mael puei ni.
17 "He shall go before Him in the wisdom and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, and so to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him."
Anih tah a hmaiah Elijah kah mueihla neh thaomnah dongah lamhma ni. Pa rhoek kah thinko te ca rhoek taengla, lokhak rhoek te aka dueng lungcueinah dongla mael ni. Rhoekbah tangtae pilnam tah Boeipa ham a hmoel ni,” a ti nah.
18 "How shall I be sure of this?" said Zachariah to the Angel. "For I am an old man and my wife is advanced in years."
Te phoeiah Zekhariah loh puencawn taengah, “Hekah he Ba nen lae ka ming eh? Kai tah patong la ka om coeng tih ka yuu khaw a kum te ham coeng,” a ti nah.
19 "I am Gabriel," answered the angel, "who stand in the presence of God; and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring and to bring you this good news.
Te dongah puencawn loh anih te a doo tih, “Kai tah Pathen hmaiah aka pai Gabriel ni, nang taengah he rhoek he phong ham neh thui ham n'tueih.
20 "And now you shall be silent and unable to speak until the day the day when this has taken place; because you did not believe my words - Words which will be fulfilled at their appointed time."
Tedae kai ol te na tangnah pawt dongah he he a soep nah khohnin duela olmueh la na om vetih na cal thai mahpawh ne. Amah tue ah ka ol te soep bit ni,” a ti nah.
21 Meanwhile the people were waiting for Zachariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the sanctuary.
Te vaengah Zekhariah te aka lamso pilnam a om dongah bawkim khuiah a di te a ngaihmang uh.
22 And when he came out he could not speak to them, and then they knew that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them and remained dumb.
Ha thoeng vaengah tah amih te voek thai voel pawh. Te dongah bawkim khuiah a mangthui a hmuh coeng tila a ming uh. Te dongah Zekhriah loh amih taengah a lu a thuk tih olmueh la phat om.
23 As soon as his term of priestly service was ended he went home;
Amah kah thothueng khohnin te a cup la a om phoeiah tah amah im la cet.
24 and after those days Elizabeth, his wife, Conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying.
Te khohnin phoeiah a yuu Elizabeth te vawn tih amah khaw hla nga thuh uh.
25 "This has the Lord done for me. He has now deigned to take the away my reproach among men."
“Boeipa loh kai ham hnin at neh a saii tangloeng coeng, te nen ni hlang lakliah kai dogkah hnaelnah te khoe hamla n'hip,” a ti.
26 Six months later the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee, called Nazareth,
Hla rhuk dongah Pathen taeng lamkah puencawn Gabriel te Galilee khopuei, a ming ah Nazareth la a tueih.
27 to a maiden betrothed to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. Her name was Mary.
David imkhui kah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Joseph ham te oila a bae pah. Oila ming tah Mary ni.
28 The angel went in and said to her. "Joy to you, highly favored one! "The Lord is with you."
Te phoeiah huta taengla kun tih, “A lungvat tangtae aw, omngaih lah, Boeipa tah nang taengah om pai,” a ti nah.
29 Mary was greatly agitated at his word, and was revolving in her mind what this salutation could mean.
Tedae Mary te tekah olka dongah konglong ngaihit la om tih te toidalnah loh metla a om eh tila a poek.
30 when the angel said to her. "Fear not Mary, for you have found grace with God.
Puencawn loh anih te, “Mary rhih boeh, Pathen taengkah lungvatnah na dang coeng te.
31 "And behold, you shall conceive in your womb and bear a son; and you shall call his name Jesus.
Te dongah bungvawn neh na yom tih capa na cun vaengah a ming te Jesuh sui ne.
32 "He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High. "And the Lord God will give him the throne of his forefather David,

33 "and he shall reign over the House of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end." (aiōn g165)
Jakob im ah kumhal due manghai pawn ni. A ram te khaw bawt ti om mahpawh,” a ti nah. (aiōn g165)
34 And Mary said to the angel. "How can this be? For I have no husband?"
Te vaengah Mary loh puencawn taengah, “Hekah he metlam a om eh? tongpa khaw ka ming moenih,” a ti nah.
35 "The Holy Spirit shall come upon you," said the angel, "and the power of the most High shall overshadow you, and therefore the holy offspring which is born, shall be called the son of God.
Te dongah anih te puencawn loh a doo tih, “Mueihla Cim loh nang n'thoeng thil vetih, Khohni kah thaomnah te nang m'muek sak ni. Te dongah na cun te aka cim Pathen Capa tila a khue bal ni.
36 "And behold your kinswoman, Elizabeth, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this was the sixth month with her that was called barren.
Te phoeiah namah huiko Elizabeth te a patong soiah, camoe a yom van coeng ke. Te dongah cakol la a khue te tahae ah hla rhuk lo coeng.
37 "For no word of God shall be void of power."
Pathen kah olka boeih long tah a tloel nah moenih,” a ti nah.
38 Then Mary said. "Behold I am Lord’s slave. Let it be to me as you have said." Then the angel departed from her.
Te dongah Mary loh, “Boeipa kah salnu he, na olka bangla kai taengah om saeh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah puencawn tah anih taeng lamloh nong.
39 Soon after this Mary set out and hastened unto the hill-country to a town in Judah;
Mary tah tekah khohnin ah thoo tih tlang kah Judah kho ah thahluenah neh cet.
40 and there she came into the house of Zachariah, and greeted Elizabeth.
Zekhariah im khuiah kun tih Elizabeth te a voek.
41 And when Elizabeth heard her salutation, the babe leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth herself was filled with the Holy Spirit,
Mary kah toidalnah te Elizabeth loh a yaak vaengah a bung khuikah cahni te soipet tih Elizabeth khaw Mueihla Cim neh baetawt.
42 and called out with a loud cry. "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is your unborn child!
Te vaengah tamlung neh pang khungdaeng tih, “Nang tah huta rhoek lakliah na yoethen coeng tih, nang bung kah a thaih te a yoethen coeng.
43 "But why is this honor done me, that the mother of my Lord should come me?
Kai aih he metlam nim, ka boeipa kah a manu kai taengla ha pawk tarha he?
44 "For behold when the sound of your salutation reached my ears, the babe leaped with joy within my womb.
Nang kah toidalnah ol te ka hna khuiah a kun vaengah tah, ka bung khuikah cahni loh kohoenah neh soipet he.
45 "And blessed is she who believed that the Lord’s words spoken to her would be fulfilled."
Te dongah Boeipa loh a thui te hmakhahnah om ni tila aka tangnah tah a yoethen,” a ti nah.
46 And Mary said. "My soul doth magnify the Lord,
Mary long khaw, “Boeipa te ka hinglu loh a oep.
47 "My spirit exults in the God, who is my Saviour,
Ka mueihla tah ka khangkung Pathen dongah hlampan coeng.
48 "For he has regarded the humiliation of his slave, And from this hour all ages will count me blessed.

49 "For he who is mighty has done great things for me; And holy is his name.

50 "His mercy is unto generations and generations on those who reverence him.
A rhennah tah amah aka rhih rhoek kah cadil cahma ham ni.
51 "He has showed strength with his arm. "He has scattered proud in the imagination of their hearts;
A ban neh a thaomnah a saii, a thinko kopoek ah buhueng aka pom te a taekyak.
52 "he has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted those of low degree.
Mangpa rhoek a ngolkhoel lamloh a hlak tih, tlayae rhoek te a pomsang.
53 "The hungry he has filled with good things, But the rich he has sent empty away.
Bungpong rhoek te hno then neh a hah sak tih, khuehtawn rhoek a tlongtlai la a tueih.
54 "He has helped Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,

56 So Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and returned home.
Mary te Elizabeth neh hla thum tluk hmaih a naeh phoeiah amah im la bal.
57 Now when the time of Elizabeth’s delivery was come, she gave birth to a son;
Elizabeth te a om tue a pha coeng tih capa a cun.
58 and her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her,
Boeipa loh a rhennah te anih taengah a khueh tih, a oep te a huiko neh imben loh a yaak vaengah anih te a omngaih puei uh.
59 and came on the eighth day to circumcise the child. They were about to call him "Zachariah," after his father,
Khohnin hnin rhet a lo vaengah camoe te yahvinrhet ham cet uh. Te vaengah anih te a napa ming Zekhariah la a khue uh.
60 when his mother said, "No, he is to be called John."
Tedae a manu loh a doo tih, “Moenih, Johan la a khue ni,” a ti nah.
61 Said they, "You have no relatives of that name!"
Te vaengah anih taengah, “Hekah ming la a khue te na cako khuiah a om pawt ah,” a ti na uh.
62 Then they asked his father by signs what he wished to call the child.
Camoe metla khue a ngaih poek tila a napa te a yavaih uh.
63 So he asked for a writing tablet and wrote down, "His name is John."
Te vaengah cabael a hoe tih a daek hatah, “A ming tah Johan ni,” a ti tih boeih a ngaihmang uh.
64 Every one was surprised, and at once his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.
Te vaengah a hmui, a lai te khaw pahoi a khui pah dongah cal tih Pathen te a uem.
65 And there came a great fear upon all in the neighborhood; and throughout the hill country of Judea all these sayings were much talked about.
Te vaengah amih tolvael rhoek boeih te rhihnah loh a pai thil. Te dongah hekah olka loh Judah tlang tom te boeih a ngae uh.
66 All the story laid it up in their hearts, saying "What, then, will this child be?" For the Lord’s hands was with him.
Aka ya boeih loh a thinko khuiah a dueh uh tih, “Hekah camoe he metlam nim a om ve?” a ti uh. Tedae Boeipa kah kut loh anih te a om puei.
67 And his father, Zachariah, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying.
A napa Zekhariah tah Mueihla Cim neh a baetawt.
68 "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, For he has visited and redeemed his people,
Te dongah a olphong neh, “A pilnam te a hip tih tlannah a saii dongah, Israel Pathen Boeipa tah uemom pai saeh.
69 "And has raised up a mighty Deliverer for us In the house of his servant David,

80 And the child grew, and became strong in the Spirit, and remained in the desert till the day of his showing to Israel.
