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,
Ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn ni ó ti dáwọ́lé títo àwọn nǹkan wọ̀n-ọn-nì jọ lẹ́sẹẹsẹ, èyí tí ó ti múlẹ̀ ṣinṣin láàrín wa,

4 so that you may know the certainty of the story which you have been taught by the word of mouth.
kí ìwọ kí ó le mọ òtítọ́ ohun wọ̀n-ọn-nì, tí a ti kọ́ ọ.
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,
Nígbà ọjọ́ Herodu ọba Judea, àlùfáà kan wà, láti ìran Abijah, orúkọ rẹ̀ a máa jẹ́ Sekariah: aya rẹ̀ sì ṣe ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin Aaroni, orúkọ rẹ̀ a sì máa jẹ́ Elisabeti.
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.
Àwọn méjèèjì sì ṣe olódodo níwájú Ọlọ́run, wọ́n ń rìn ní gbogbo òfin àti ìlànà Olúwa ní àìlẹ́gàn.
7 Now they had no child, for Elizabeth was barren, and both were far advanced in years.
Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò ní ọmọ, nítorí tí Elisabeti yàgàn; àwọn méjèèjì sì di arúgbó.
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,
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí ó ń ṣe iṣẹ́ àlùfáà níwájú Ọlọ́run ni àkókò tirẹ̀.
9 to enter into the sanctuary of the Lord and to burn incense.
Bí ìṣe àwọn àlùfáà, ipa tirẹ̀ ni láti máa fi tùràrí jóná, nígbà tí ó bá wọ inú tẹmpili Olúwa lọ.
10 And the whole multitude of the people were without, praying at the hour of incense.
Gbogbo ìjọ àwọn ènìyàn sì ń gbàdúrà lóde ní àkókò sísun tùràrí.
11 Then there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
Angẹli Olúwa kan sì fi ara hàn án, ó dúró ní apá ọ̀tún pẹpẹ tùràrí.
12 And as he saw him Zachariah was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
Nígbà tí Sekariah sì rí i, orí rẹ̀ wú, ẹ̀rù sì bà á.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n angẹli náà wí fún un pé, “Má bẹ̀rù, Sekariah: nítorí tí àdúrà rẹ gbà; Elisabeti aya rẹ yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan fún ọ, ìwọ ó sì sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Johanu.
14 "And he shall be to you a joy and an exultation, and many shall rejoice over his birth.
Òun yóò sì jẹ́ ayọ̀ àti ìdùnnú fún ọ, ènìyàn púpọ̀ yóò sì yọ̀ sí ìbí rẹ.
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,
Nítorí òun ó pọ̀ níwájú Olúwa, kì yóò sì mu ọtí wáìnì, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì yóò sì mu ọtí líle; yóò sì kún fún Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ àní láti inú ìyá rẹ̀ wá.
16 "And shall win many of the sons of Israel to the Lord, their God.
Òun ó sì yí ènìyàn púpọ̀ padà nínú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn.
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."
Ẹ̀mí àti agbára Elijah ni Olúwa yóò sì fi ṣáájú rẹ̀ lọ, láti pa ọkàn àwọn baba dà sí ti àwọn ọmọ, àti ti àwọn aláìgbọ́ràn sí ọgbọ́n àwọn olóòtítọ́; kí ó le pèsè àwọn ènìyàn tí a múra sílẹ̀ de Olúwa.”
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."
Sekariah sì wí fún angẹli náà pé, “Àmì wo ni èmi ó fi mọ èyí? Èmi sá ti di àgbà, àti Elisabeti aya mi sì di arúgbó.”
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.
Angẹli náà sì dáhùn ó wí fún un pé, “Èmi ni Gabrieli, tí máa ń dúró níwájú Ọlọ́run; èmi ni a rán wá láti sọ fún ọ, àti láti mú ìròyìn ayọ̀ wọ̀nyí fún ọ wá.
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."
Sì kíyèsi i, ìwọ ó yadi, ìwọ kì yóò sì le fọhùn, títí ọjọ́ náà tí nǹkan wọ̀nyí yóò fi ṣẹ, nítorí ìwọ kò gba ọ̀rọ̀ mi gbọ́ tí yóò ṣẹ ní àkókò wọn.”
21 Meanwhile the people were waiting for Zachariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the sanctuary.
Àwọn ènìyàn sì ń dúró de Sekariah, ẹnu sì yà wọ́n nítorí tí ó pẹ́ nínú tẹmpili.
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.
Nígbà tí ó sì jáde wá, òun kò le bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀. Wọn sì kíyèsi wí pé ó ti rí ìran nínú tẹmpili, ó sì ń ṣe àpẹẹrẹ sí wọn, nítorí tí ó yadi.
23 As soon as his term of priestly service was ended he went home;
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí ọjọ́ iṣẹ́ ìsìn rẹ̀ pé, ó lọ sí ilé rẹ̀.
24 and after those days Elizabeth, his wife, Conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying.
Lẹ́yìn èyí ni Elisabeti aya rẹ̀ lóyún, ó sì fi ara rẹ̀ pamọ́ ní oṣù márùn-ún,
25 "This has the Lord done for me. He has now deigned to take the away my reproach among men."
Ó sì wí pé, “Báyìí ni Olúwa ṣe fún mi ní ọjọ́ tí ó síjú wò mí, láti mú ẹ̀gàn mi kúrò láàrín àwọn ènìyàn.”
26 Six months later the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee, called Nazareth,
Ní oṣù kẹfà Ọlọ́run sì rán angẹli Gabrieli sí ìlú kan ní Galili, tí à ń pè ní Nasareti,
27 to a maiden betrothed to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. Her name was Mary.

28 The angel went in and said to her. "Joy to you, highly favored one! "The Lord is with you."
Angẹli náà sì tọ̀ ọ́ wá, ó ní, “Àlàáfíà fun ọ, ìwọ ẹni tí a kọjú sí ṣe ní oore, Olúwa ń bẹ pẹ̀lú rẹ.”
29 Mary was greatly agitated at his word, and was revolving in her mind what this salutation could mean.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọkàn Maria kò lélẹ̀ nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ náà, ó sì rò nínú ara rẹ̀ pé, irú kíkí kín ni èyí.
30 when the angel said to her. "Fear not Mary, for you have found grace with God.
Ṣùgbọ́n angẹli náà wí fún un pé, “Má bẹ̀rù, Maria, nítorí ìwọ ti rí ojúrere lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.
31 "And behold, you shall conceive in your womb and bear a son; and you shall call his name Jesus.
Ìwọ yóò lóyún nínú rẹ, ìwọ ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan, ìwọ ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Jesu.
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,
Òun ó pọ̀, ọmọ Ọ̀gá-ògo jùlọ ni a ó sì máa pè é, Olúwa Ọlọ́run yóò sì fi ìtẹ́ Dafidi baba rẹ̀ fún.
33 "and he shall reign over the House of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end." (aiōn g165)
Yóò sì jẹ ọba lórí ilé Jakọbu títí láé; ìjọba rẹ̀ kì yóò sì ní ìpẹ̀kun.” (aiōn g165)
34 And Mary said to the angel. "How can this be? For I have no husband?"
Nígbà náà ni Maria béèrè lọ́wọ́ angẹli náà pé, “Èyí yóò ha ti ṣe rí bẹ́ẹ̀, nígbà tí èmi kò tí ì mọ ọkùnrin.”
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.
Angẹli náà sì dáhùn ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ yóò tọ̀ ọ́ wá, agbára Ọ̀gá-ògo jùlọ yóò síji bò ọ́. Nítorí náà ohun mímọ́ tí a ó ti inú rẹ bí, Ọmọ Ọlọ́run ni a ó máa pè é.
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.
Sì kíyèsi i, Elisabeti ìbátan rẹ náà yóò sì ní ọmọkùnrin kan ní ògbólógbòó rẹ̀, èyí sì ni oṣù kẹfà fún ẹni tí à ń pè ní àgàn.
37 "For no word of God shall be void of power."
Nítorí kò sí ohun tí Ọlọ́run kò le ṣe.”
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.
Maria sì dáhùn wí pé, “Wò ó ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa; kí ó rí fún mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ.” Angẹli náà sì fi í sílẹ̀ lọ.
39 Soon after this Mary set out and hastened unto the hill-country to a town in Judah;
Ní àkókò náà ni Maria sì dìde, ó lọ kánkán sí ilẹ̀ òkè, sí ìlú kan ní Judea;
40 and there she came into the house of Zachariah, and greeted Elizabeth.
Ó sì wọ ilé Sekariah lọ ó sì kí Elisabeti.
41 And when Elizabeth heard her salutation, the babe leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth herself was filled with the Holy Spirit,
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí Elisabeti gbọ́ kíkí Maria, ọlẹ̀ sọ nínú rẹ̀; Elisabeti sì kún fún Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́,
42 and called out with a loud cry. "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is your unborn child!
Ó sì ké ní ohùn rara, ó sì wí pé, “Alábùkún fún ni ìwọ nínú àwọn obìnrin, alábùkún fún sì ni ọmọ tí ìwọ yóò bí.
43 "But why is this honor done me, that the mother of my Lord should come me?
Èéṣe tí èmi fi rí irú ojúrere yìí, tí ìyá Olúwa mi ìbá fi tọ̀ mí wá?
44 "For behold when the sound of your salutation reached my ears, the babe leaped with joy within my womb.

45 "And blessed is she who believed that the Lord’s words spoken to her would be fulfilled."
Alábùkún fún sì ni ẹni tí ó gbàgbọ́, nítorí nǹkan wọ̀nyí tí a ti sọ fún un láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa wá yóò ṣẹ.”
46 And Mary said. "My soul doth magnify the Lord,
Maria sì dáhùn, ó ní: “Ọkàn mi yin Olúwa lógo.
47 "My spirit exults in the God, who is my Saviour,
Ẹ̀mí mi sì yọ̀ sí Ọlọ́run Olùgbàlà mi.
48 "For he has regarded the humiliation of his slave, And from this hour all ages will count me blessed.
Nítorí tí ó síjú wo ìwà ìrẹ̀lẹ̀ ọmọbìnrin ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀. Sá wò ó, láti ìsinsin yìí lọ gbogbo ìran ènìyàn ni yóò máa pè mí ní alábùkún fún.
49 "For he who is mighty has done great things for me; And holy is his name.
Nítorí ẹni tí ó ní agbára ti ṣe ohun tí ó tóbi fún mi; Mímọ́ sì ni orúkọ rẹ̀.
50 "His mercy is unto generations and generations on those who reverence him.
Àánú rẹ̀ sì ń bẹ fún àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ̀, láti ìrandíran.
51 "He has showed strength with his arm. "He has scattered proud in the imagination of their hearts;
Ó ti fi agbára hàn ní apá rẹ̀; o ti tú àwọn onígbèéraga ká ní ìrònú ọkàn wọn.
52 "he has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted those of low degree.
Ó ti mú àwọn alágbára kúrò lórí ìtẹ́ wọn, o sì gbé àwọn onírẹ̀lẹ̀ lékè.
53 "The hungry he has filled with good things, But the rich he has sent empty away.
Ó ti fi ohun tí ó dára kún àwọn tí ebi ń pa ó sì rán àwọn ọlọ́rọ̀ padà ní òfo.
54 "He has helped Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,

56 So Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and returned home.
Maria sì jókòó tì Elisabeti níwọ̀n oṣù mẹ́ta, ó sì padà lọ sí ilé rẹ̀.
57 Now when the time of Elizabeth’s delivery was come, she gave birth to a son;
Nígbà tí ọjọ́ Elisabeti pé tí yóò bí; ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan.
58 and her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her,
Àwọn aládùúgbò, àti àwọn ìbátan rẹ̀ gbọ́ bí Olúwa ti fi àánú ńlá hàn fún un, wọ́n sì bá a yọ̀.
59 and came on the eighth day to circumcise the child. They were about to call him "Zachariah," after his father,
Ó sì ṣe, ní ọjọ́ kẹjọ wọ́n wá láti kọ ọmọ náà nílà; wọ́n sì fẹ́ sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Sekariah, gẹ́gẹ́ bí orúkọ baba rẹ̀.
60 when his mother said, "No, he is to be called John."
Ìyá rẹ̀ sì dáhùn, ó ní, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́! Johanu ni a ó pè é.”
61 Said they, "You have no relatives of that name!"
Wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Kò sí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ará rẹ̀ tí à ń pè ní orúkọ yìí.”
62 Then they asked his father by signs what he wished to call the child.
Wọ́n sì ṣe àpẹẹrẹ sí baba rẹ̀, bí ó ti ń fẹ́ kí a pè é.
63 So he asked for a writing tablet and wrote down, "His name is John."
Ó sì béèrè fún wàláà, ó sì kọ ọ wí pé, “Johanu ni orúkọ rẹ̀.” Ẹnu sì ya gbogbo wọn.
64 Every one was surprised, and at once his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.
Ẹnu rẹ̀ sì ṣí lọ́gán, okùn ahọ́n rẹ̀ sì tú, ó sì sọ̀rọ̀, ó sì ń yin Ọlọ́run.
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.
Ẹ̀rù sì ba gbogbo àwọn tí ń bẹ ní agbègbè wọn, a sì ròyìn gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí ká gbogbo ilẹ̀ òkè Judea.
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.
Ó sì jẹ́ ohun ìyanu fún gbogbo àwọn tí ó gbọ́ nípa rẹ̀, wọ́n sì tò ó sínú ọkàn wọn, wọ́n ń wí pé, “Irú-ọmọ kín ni èyí yóò jẹ́?” Nítorí tí ọwọ́ Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
67 And his father, Zachariah, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying.

80 And the child grew, and became strong in the Spirit, and remained in the desert till the day of his showing to Israel.
Ọmọ náà sì dàgbà, ó sì le ní ọkàn, ó sì ń gbé ní ijù títí ó fi di ọjọ́ ìfihàn rẹ̀ fún Israẹli.
