Luke 1
1 Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
Na, i te mea he tokomaha kua anga ki te whakakaupapa i te korero o nga mea kua whakatutukitia nei i waenganui i a tatou,
2 even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
He mea whakarite ki nga mea i homai ki a tatou e te hunga i kite a kanohi, i mahi hoki i te kupu,
3 it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus;
Koia ahau i mahara ai, i te mea kua ata whakatakina iho e ahau nga mea katoa i te timatanga mai, kia tuhituhi whakatepe atu ki a koe, e Tiopira, e te tangata pai rawa,
4 that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
Kia matau ai koe ki te tuturutanga o nga mea i whakaakona ai koe.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Yehuda, a certain priest named Zekharya, of the division of Awiya. He had a wife of the daughters of Ahrun, and her name was Elishava.
No mua, no nga ra o Herora kingi o Huria, tera tohunga, ko Hakaraia te ingoa, no te wiki o Apiata: ko tana wahine hoki no nga tamahine a Arona, ko Erihapeti tona ingoa.
6 They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
He hunga tika hoki raua i te aroaro o te Atua, kahore he he o ta raua haere i runga i nga kupu ako katoa, i nga tikanga a te Ariki.
7 But they had no child, because Elishava was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
Na kahore a raua tamariki, he pakoko hoki a Erihapeti, a i taua wa kua maha haere rawa nga ra o tetahi, o tetahi.
8 Now it happened, while he was performing the priest's office before God in the order of his division,
Na tupono tonu, i a ia e mahi ana i a te tohunga mahi i te aroaro o te Atua i te takanga o tana wiki,
9 according to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
E whakarite ana i nga ritenga o nga tohunga, ka taka mana te haere ki roto ki te whare tapu o te Ariki, tahu ai te whakakakara.
10 And the whole crowd of people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
Na i waho te nuinga katoa o te iwi e inoi ana i te haora whakakakara.
11 An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
A ka puta mai ki a ia tetahi anahera a te Ariki e tu ana i te taha matau o te aata whakakakara.
12 Zekharya was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
Na ka ohorere a Hakaraia i tona kitenga i a ia, a tau ana te wehi ki a ia.
13 But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zekharya, because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elishava, will bear you a son, and you are to name him Yukhanan.
Otira ka mea te anahera ki a ia, kaua e wehi, e Hakaraia: kua rangona hoki tau inoi, a ka whanau i tau wahine, i a Erihapeti, he tama mau, a ka huaina e koe tona ingoa ko Hoani.
14 You will have joy and gladness; and many will rejoice at his birth.
A ka whiwhi koe i te hari me te harakoa; a he tokomaha hoki e hari i tona whanautanga.
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he must never drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Rukha d'Qudsha, even from his mother's womb.
E nui hoki ia i te aroaro o te Atua: e kore ia e inu i te waina, i te wai whakahaurangi ranei: a ka ki ia i te Wairua Tapu, mai ano o te kopu o tona whaea.
16 He will turn many of the people of Israyel to the Lord, their God.
He tokomaha ano hoki o nga tama a Iharaira ka whakatahuritia e ia ki te Ariki, ki to ratou Atua.
17 He will go before him in the spirit and power of Eliya, 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
Ka haere ano ia i tona aroaro i runga i te wairua, i te mana, o Iraia, hei whakatahuri i nga ngakau o nga matua ki nga tamariki, i te hunga whakatuturi ki nga whakaaro o te hunga tika; hei whakarite mo te Ariki i tetahi iwi i ata taka mona.
18 Zekharya said to the angel, "How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years."
Na ko te meatanga a Hakaraia ki te anahera, Ma te aha ka matau ai ahau ki tenei mea? he koroheke nei hoki ahau, kua maha haere hoki nga ra o taku wahine.
19 The angel answered him, "I am Gavriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news.
Na ka whakahoki te anahera, ka mea ki a ia, Ko Kapariera ahau, kei te aroaro o te Atua toku turanga; kua tonoa mai hoki ahau ki te korero ki a koe, ki te whakapuaki i tenei rongo pai ki a koe.
20 And look, you will be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things will happen, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time."
Nana, ka noho puku koe, kahore hoki e puta te korero i a koe, kia tae mai ra ano te ra e meatia ai enei mea, mou kihai i whakapono ki aku kupu, ka mana nei i te wa e rite ai.
21 The people were waiting for Zekharya, and they were wondering why he was delayed in the temple.
A tatari tonu te iwi ki a Hakaraia, me te miharo ano i a ia e whakaroa ana i roto i te whare tapu.
22 When he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.
A, i tona putanga mai ki waho, kihai ia i ahei te korero ki a ratou: a ka mohio ratou kua kite ia i tetahi putanga atua ki a ia i roto i te whare tapu: hono tonu tana waitohu ki a ratou me te wahangu ano.
23 It happened, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
A ka rite nga ra hei minitatanga mana, ka hoki ia ki tona whare.
24 After these days Elishava, his wife, conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,
Na muri iho i aua ra ka hapu tana wahine, a Erihapeti, a e rima nga marama i whakangaro ai i a ia, a i mea ia,
25 "Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my disgrace among people."
Ko ta te Ariki tenei i mea ai ki ahau, i nga ra i titiro mai ai ia, ki te whakamutu i toku tawainga i roto i nga tangata.
26 Now in the sixth month, the angel Gavriel was sent from God to a city of Galila, named Natsrath,
Na i te ono o nga marama ka tonoa a Kapariera, te anahera, e te Atua ki tetahi pa o Kariri, ko Nahareta te ingoa,
27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Yauseph, of the house of Dawid. The virgin's name was Maryam.
Ki tetahi wahine i taumautia ma tetahi tangata, ko Hohepa te ingoa, no te whare o Rawiri; ko te ingoa o te wahine ko Meri.
28 Having come in, the angel said to her, "Greetings, favored one. The Lord is with you."
Na, ko tona haerenga ki roto, ki a ia, ka mea, Tena koe, e te wahine kua manakohia nei; kei a koe te Ariki: ko koe te manaakitia i roto i nga wahine.
29 But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of greeting this might be.
Otira he nui tona oho ki taua kupu, ka whakaaroaro ki te tikanga o tenei ohatanga.
30 The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Maryam, for you have found favor with God.
Na ka mea te anahera ki a ia, Kei wehi koe, e Meri; kua paingia hoki koe e te Atua.
31 And look, you will conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and will call his name 'Yeshua.'
Nana, tera koe e hapu, ka whanau he tama, a ka huaina e koe tona ingoa ko Ihu.
32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father, Dawid,
Ka nui ia, ka kiia hoki ko te Tama a te Runga Rawa: a ka hoatu ki a ia e te Ariki, e te Atua, te torona o Rawiri, o tona papa.
33 and he will reign over the house of Yaquv forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom." (aiōn g165)
Hei kingi hoki ia mo te whare o Hakopa ake ake; e kore ano e mutu tona rangatiratanga. (aiōn g165)
34 Maryam said to the angel, "How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?"
Na ka mea a Meri ki te anahera, E peheatia tenei, kahore nei hoki ahau e mohio ki te tane?
35 The angel answered her, "The Rukha d'Qudsha will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born will be called the Son of God.
Na ka whakahoki te anahera, ka mea ki a ia, Ka tae te Wairua Tapu ki runga ki a koe, ka taumarumaru iho te kaha o te Runga Rawa ki runga ki a koe: no reira hoki ka kiia te mea e whanau mai he tapu, ko te Tama a te Atua.
36 And look, Elishava, your relative, also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
Na, ko tou whanaunga, ko Erihapeti, kua hapu hoki ia i tona ruruhitanga, he tama; a koe te ono tenei o nga marama ki a ia, i kiia ra he pakoko.
37 For with God nothing will be impossible."
Kahore hoki he kupu i ahu mai i te Atua i kore e whai mana.
38 And Maryam said, "See, the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word." The angel departed from her.
Ano ra ko Meri, Ina, te pononga a te Ariki; kia peratia ahau me tau i korero ai. A mawehe atu ana te anahera i a ia.
39 Maryam arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Yehuda,
Na ka whakatika a Meri i aua ra, a haere kaika ana ki te whenua pukepuke ki tetahi pa o Hura;
40 and entered into the house of Zekharya and greeted Elishava.
A ka tomo ki te whare o Hakaraia, ka oha ki a Erihapeti.
41 It happened, when Elishava heard Maryam's greeting, that the baby leaped in her womb, and Elishava was filled with the Rukha d'Qudsha.
A, no te rongonga o Erihapeti i te oha a Meri, ka koiri te tamaiti i roto i tona kopu; na kua ki a Erihapeti i te Wairua Tapu:
42 She called out with a loud voice, and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
A he nui tona reo ki te karanga, ka mea, Ka manaakitia koe i roto i nga wahine, ka manaakitia ano te hua o tou kopu.
43 Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
No hea hoki tenei ki ahau, kia haere mai te whaea o toku Ariki ki ahau?
44 For look, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy.
Na, pa kau mai te reo o tau oha ki oku taringa, ka oho te tamaiti i toku kopu i te hari.
45 Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord."
Ka koa ano ia e whakapono ana: ka whakaritea hoki nga mea i korerotia ki a ia e te Ariki.
46 Maryam said, "My soul magnifies the Lord.
A ka mea a Meri, Ka whakanui toku wairua i te Ariki,
47 And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
E hari ana toku wairua ki te Atua, ki toku Kaiwhakaora;
48 for he has looked at the humble state of his servant girl. For look, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
Mona i titiro ki te iti o tana pononga; ta te mea hoki katahi ahau ka kiia e nga whakatupuranga katoa e haere ake nei, he wahine hari.
49 For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
He nui hoki nga mahi a te Mea Kaha ki ahau; he tapu hoki tona ingoa.
50 His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear him.
He mahi tohu tana ki te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia, ki tenei whakatupuranga, ki tenei whakatupuranga.
51 He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
Kua whakaputaina he kaha e ia, ara e tona ringa; nana te hunga whakakake i marara ai, i te whakaaro o o ratou ngakau.
52 He has put down the mighty from their thrones and has exalted the lowly.
Kua whakataka e ia nga piriniha i o ratou torona, a whakateiteitia ake ana te hunga iti.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.
Kua whakakiia e ia te hunga mate hiakai ki nga mea pai; kua tonoa kautia atu te hunga taonga.
54 He has given help to Israyel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
Kua tautokona e ia a Iharaira, tana pononga, he whakamahara hoki ki tana mahi tohu;
Ki a Aperahama ratou ko tana whanau ake tonu atu, pera hoki me tana i korero ai ki o tatou matua. (aiōn g165)
56 Maryam stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.
Na tata tonu ki te toru marama a Meri e noho ana ki a ia, a hoki ana ki tona whare.
57 Now the time that Elishava should give birth was fulfilled, and she brought forth a son.
A ka rite te taima o Erihapeti e whanau ai; na ka whanau he tama.
58 Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they rejoiced with her.
A ka rongo te hunga e noho tata ana, me ona whanaunga, kua whakanuia e te Ariki tona aroha ki a ia; na ka hari tahi me ia.
59 It happened on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zekharya, after the name of the father.
A i te waru o nga ra ka haere mai ratou ki te kokoti i te tamaiti; ka mea kia huaina e ratou ko Hakaraia, ko te ingoa o tona papa.
60 His mother answered, "Not so; but he will be called Yukhanan."
Na ka whakahoki tona whaea, ka mea, Kahore; engari me hua ia ko Hoani.
61 They said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name."
Na ko ta ratou meatanga ki a ia, Ara, kahore tenei ingoa i huaina ki tetahi o ou whanaunga.
62 They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
Na ka ui ratou ki tona papa, he mea waitohu, ko wai tana e pai ai kia huaina ki a ia.
63 And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is Yukhanan." And they were all amazed.
Ka mea ia ki tetahi papa tuhituhi, a ka tuhituhi, ka mea, Ko Hoani hei ingoa mona. A miharo ana ratou katoa.
64 His mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.
Na whai reo tonu iho tona mangai, ka matara tona arero, ka korero ia, ka whakapai ki te Atua.
65 Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Yehuda.
A tau ana te wehi ki te hunga katoa e noho tata ana ki a ratou: ka korerotia enei mea katoa puta noa i te whenua pukepuke katoa o Huria.
66 All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, "What then will this child be?" The hand of the Lord was with him.
Na ka rongoatia enei mea e te hunga katoa i rangona ai ki roto ki o ratou ngakau, ka mea, He tamaiti aha ianei tenei? i a ia hoki te ringa o te Ariki.
67 His father, Zekharya, was filled with the Rukha d'Qudsha, and prophesied, saying,
Na kua ki a Hakaraia, tona papa, i te Wairua tapu, ka poropiti, ka mea,
68 "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israyel, for he has visited and worked redemption for his people;
Kia whakapaingia te Ariki, te Atua o Iharaira; kua titiro mai hoki ia, kua hoko i tana iwi,
69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant Dawid
Kua whakaarahia ake e ia he haona whakaora mo tatou, i roto i te whare o Rawiri, o tana pononga;
Ko tana hoki ia i korerotia e te mangai o ana poropiti tapu, no te timatanga mai ano o te ao: (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us;
Hei whakaora i a tatou i o tatou hoa whawhai, i te ringa ano o te hunga katoa e kino ana ki a tatou;
72 to show mercy towards our fathers, to remember his holy covenant,
Hei whakaputa i te mahi tohu ki o tatou tupuna, hei whakamahara ki tana kawenata tapu;
73 the oath which he spoke to Avraham, our father,
Ki te oati i oati ai ia ki a Aperahama, ki to tatou tupuna,
74 to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, should serve him without fear,
Kia tukua mai e ia ki a tatou he ora i te ringa o o tatou hoa whawhai, kia mahi wehikore tatou ki a ia,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
I runga i te tapu, i te tika, ki tona aroaro, i nga ra katoa e ora ai tatou.
76 And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to make ready his ways,
A ko koe, e tama, ka kiia ko te poropiti a te Runga Rawa: e haere hoki koe i te aroaro o te Ariki, hei whakapai i ona ara;
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins,
Hei whakamatau i tana iwi ki te ora, i o ratou hara e murua ana;
78 because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the dawn from on high will visit us,
He mea hoki na te aroha, na te mahi tohu a to tatou Atua; na reira hoki i puta mai ai te puaotanga o runga ki a tatou,
79 to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace."
Hei whakamarama i te hunga e noho ana i te pouri, i te atarangi hoki o te mate, hei whakatika i o tatou waewae ki te huarahi o te rangimarie.
80 The child was growing, and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israyel.
Na ka tupu taua tamaiti, a ka kaha haere tona wairua, a noho ana i nga koraha, taea noatia te ra e whakakitea ai ia ki a Iharaira.
