Luke 1
1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to arrange a narrative of those things which are fully believed among us,
Vazhinji vakaedza kurondedzera nhoroondo dzezvinhu zvakaitika pakati pedu,
2 even as they were delivered to us by those who were eye-witnesses from the beginning and became ministers of the word,
sokuturirwa kwazvakaitwa kwatiri neavo vakazviona kubva pakutanga naivozve vari varanda veshoko.
3 it seemed good to me also, having accurately traced up all things from the first, to write to thee a connected account, most excellent Theophilus,
Naizvozvo, sezvo neniwo ndakanyatsoongorora zvose kubva pakutanga, ndakati zvakanakawo kuti ndikunyorerei imi Tiofiro mune mukurumbira, nhoroondo ndichinyatsotevedzanisa,
4 that thou mightst know the exact truth with regard to those things in which thou wast instructed.
kuitira kuti mugoziva chokwadi chezvinhu zvamakadzidziswa.
5 There was in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zachariah, of the course of Abijah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
Panguva yaHerodhi mambo weJudhea kwakanga kuno muprista ainzi Zekaria, akanga ari weboka rouprista hwaAbhija; mukadzi wake Erizabheti akanga ari chizvarwa chaAroni.
6 And they were both righteous in the sight of God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Vose vakanga vakarurama pamberi paMwari, vachichengeta mirayiro yaShe yose nezvaakatema, vasina zvavangapomerwa.
7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both far advanced in years.
Asi vakanga vasina vana, nokuti Erizabheti akanga asingabereki; uye vose vari vaviri vakanga vachembera kwazvo.
8 And it came to pass, that, while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his course,
Mumwe musi Zekaria akati ari pabasa reboka rake achibata somuprista pamberi paMwari,
9 according to the custom of the priesthood the lot fell to him to go into the temple of the Lord and burn the incense.
akasarudzwa nomujenya, maererano netsika youprista, kuti aende andopisa zvinonhuhwira mutemberi yaShe.
10 And the whole multitude of the people was praying without at the time of the incense.
Uye nguva yokupisa zvinonhuhwira yakati yasvika, vanamati vose vakaungana panze vachinyengetera.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right of the altar of incense.
Ipapo mutumwa waShe akazviratidza kwaari, akamira kurutivi rworudyi rwearitari yezvinonhuhwira.
12 And Zachariah was troubled at the sight, and fear fell upon him.
Zekaria akati achimuona, akavhunduka uye akabatwa nokutya.
13 But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zachariah; for thy prayer was heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name John.
Asi mutumwa akati kwaari, “Usatya, Zekaria; munyengetero wako wanzwikwa. Mukadzi wako Erizabheti achakuberekera mwanakomana, uye unofanira kumutumidza zita rokuti Johani.
14 And thou wilt have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice for his birth.
Achava mufaro nokufarisisa kwamuri, uye vazhinji vachafara nokuda kwokuberekwa kwake,
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; and will drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from his very birth.
nokuti achava mukuru pamberi paShe. Haafaniri kutongonwa waini kana zvinonwiwa zvose zvakaviriswa, uye achazadzwa noMweya Mutsvene kunyange kubva pakuberekwa kwake.
16 And many of the sons of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God.
Achadzorera vanhu vazhinji vaIsraeri kuna She Mwari wavo.
17 And he will go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a prepared people.
Uye achafamba pamberi paShe, mumweya nomusimba raEria, kuti adzorere mwoyo yamadzibaba kuvana vavo uye kuti vasingateereri vadzokere kuuchenjeri hwavakarurama, kuti agadzirire vanhu vakagadzirirwa kugamuchira Ishe.”
18 And Zachariah said to the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is far advanced in years.
Zekaria akabvunza mutumwa akati, “Ndichazviziva seiko izvi? Ini ndava murume mutana uye mukadzi wangu achembera kwazvo.”
19 And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to thee, and to tell thee these glad tidings.
Mutumwa akapindura akati, “Ndini Gabhurieri. Ndinomira pamberi paMwari, uye ndatumwa kuti ndizotaura newe, ndizokuudza nhau dzakanaka idzi.
20 And lo! thou shalt be silent, and not able to speak, until the day when these things shall come to pass, because thou didst not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their season.
Uye iye zvino uchava chimumumu uye uchatadza kutaura kusvikira pazuva razvichaitika, nokuti hauna kutenda mashoko angu, iwo achaitika nenguva yawo.”
21 And the people were looking for Zachariah, and wondering that he remained so long in the temple.
Zvichakadaro, vanhu vakanga vakamirira Zekaria vakashamiswa kuti akanga atora nguva yakareba kudai seiko ari mutemberi.
22 And on coming 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 speechless.
Akati abuda, akasagona kutaura navo. Vakazviona kuti akanga aona chiratidzo mutemberi, nokuti akaramba achitaura navo namaoko, uye akaramba ari chimumumu asingagoni kutaura.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were completed, that he returned to his house.
Nguva yokushumira kwake yakati yapera, akadzokera kumba kwake.
24 And after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Shure kwaizvozvo, mukadzi wake Erizabheti akava nemimba uye akazvivanza kwemwedzi mishanu.
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me to take away my reproach among men.
Akati mumwoyo make, “Ishe andiitira izvi. Mumazuva ano akaratidza nyasha dzake uye akabvisa kunyadziswa kwangu pakati pavanhu.”
26 And in her sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
Mumwedzi wechitanhatu, Mwari akatuma mutumwa Gabhurieri kuNazareta, guta riri muGarirea,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
kumhandara yakanga yatsidzirwa kuwanikwa nomurume ainzi Josefa, chizvarwa chaDhavhidhi. Zita remhandara iyi rainzi Maria.
28 And the angel came in to her and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored! the Lord is with thee.
Mutumwa akasvika kwaari akati, “Kwaziwa, iwe wakanzwirwa nyasha zvikuru! Ishe anewe.”
29 And she was troubled at the words, and was considering what this salutation could mean.
Maria akatambudzika zvikuru namashoko ake uye akashamiswa kuti kukwazisa kwakadai ndekworudzii.
30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favor with God.
Asi mutumwa akati kwaari, “Usatya, Maria, iwe wanzwirwa nyasha naMwari.
31 And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and hear a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
Uchava nomwana uye uchazvara mwanakomana, ugomutumidza zita rokuti Jesu.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of David his father;
Achava mukuru uye achanzi Mwanakomana weWokumusoro-soro. Ishe Mwari achamupa chigaro choushe chababa vake Dhavhidhi,
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
uye achatonga pamusoro peimba yaJakobho nokusingaperi; umambo hwake hahungatongogumi.” (aiōn g165)
34 Then said Mary to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?
Maria akabvunza mutumwa akati, “Ko, izvi zvichaitika seiko sezvo ini ndiri mhandara?”
35 And the angel answering said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee; wherefore the holy one that is to be born will be called the Son of God.
Mutumwa akapindura achiti, “Mweya Mutsvene achauya pamusoro pako, uye simba reWokumusoro-soro richakufukidza. Saka mutsvene achazvarwa achanzi Mwanakomana waMwari.
36 And lo! Elizabeth, thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren.
Kunyange hama yako Erizabheti achava nomwana pamazuva okukwegura kwake, uye mwedzi uno ndowechitanhatu kuna iye ainzi asingabereki.
37 For nothing will be impossible with God.
Nokuti hakuna chinhu chisingagonekwi naMwari.”
38 And Mary said, Lo, the handmaid of the Lord! May it be to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
Maria akati, “Ini ndiri muranda waShe. Ngazviitike hazvo kwandiri sezvamareva.” Ipapo mutumwa akabva paari.
39 And Mary arose and went in those days into the hill-country with haste, into a city of Judah.
Panguva iyoyo Maria akagadzirira ndokukurumidza kuenda kune rimwe guta romunyika yezvikomo yeJudhea,
40 And she entered the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
uko kwaakasvikopinda mumba maZekaria akakwazisa Erizabheti.
41 And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
Erizabheti akati anzwa kukwazisa kwaMaria, mwana akakwakuka mudumbu make, ipapo Erizabheti akazadzwa noMweya Mutsvene.
42 and cried out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women; and blessed is the fruit of thy womb!
Akadanidzira nenzwi guru achiti, “Wakaropafadzwa iwe pakati pavakadzi, uye akaropafadzwa mwana wauchazvara!
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Asi ini ndanzwirwawo nyasha seiko, zvokuti mai vaShe wangu vauye kwandiri?
44 For lo! as soon as the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, the babe leaped in my womb in exultation.
Pangosvika inzwi rokukwazisa kwenyu munzeve dzangu mwana ari mudumbu mangu abva akwakuka nomufaro.
45 And blessed is she who hath believed that there will be an accomplishment of those things which were told her from the Lord.
Akaropafadzwa iye akatenda kuti zvakataurwa kwaari naShe zvichaitika!”
46 And Mary said, My soul magnifieth the Lord,
Maria akati: “Mwoyo wangu unokudza Ishe
47 and my spirit hath exulted in God my Saviour;
uye mweya wangu unofara muna Mwari Muponesi wangu,
48 for he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaiden. For lo! from this time all generations will call me blessed;
nokuti akanga ane hanya nokuninipiswa kwomurandakadzi wake. Kubva zvino marudzi ose achanditi ndakaropafadzwa,
49 for the Mighty One hath done great things for me; and holy is his name;
nokuti Iye Wamasimba andiitira zvinhu zvikuru, zita rake idzvene.
50 and his mercy is from generation to generation on them that fear him.
Ngoni dzake dzinosvika kuna avo vanomutya, kubva kune chimwe chizvarwa kusvikira kune chimwe chizvarwa.
51 He hath wrought mightily with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the device of their heart.
Iye akaita mabasa esimba noruoko rwake; akaparadzira avo vanozvikudza mundangariro dzemwoyo yavo.
52 He hath cast down princes from thrones, and exalted men of low degree.
Akabvisa vatongi pazvigaro zvavo, asi akasimudzira vanozvininipisa.
53 The hungry he hath filled with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty.
Akagutsa vane nzara nezvinhu zvakanaka, asi akadzinga vapfumi vasina chinhu.
54 He hath given help to Israel his servant, in remembrance of his mercy
Akabatsira muranda wake Israeri, achirangarira kuva nengoni,
kuna Abhurahama nezvizvarwa zvake nokusingaperi, kunyange sezvaakareva kumadzibaba edu.” (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
Maria akagara naErizabheti kwemwedzi inenge mitatu uye mushure maizvozvo akazodzokera zvake kumusha.
57 Now Elizabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
Nguva yakati yasvika yokuti Erizabheti ave nomwana, akazvara mwana mukomana.
58 And her neighbors and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had showed great mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her.
Vavakidzani vake nehama dzake vakanzwa kuti Ishe akanga amunzwira ngoni huru, vakafara pamwe chete naye.
59 And it came to pass that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they were about to call him Zachariah, after the name of his father.
Pazuva rorusere vakauya kuzodzingisa mwana, uye vakanga vachizomutumidza zita rababa vake Zekaria,
60 And his mother answering said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
asi mai vake vakati, “Kwete! Anofanira kunzi Johani.”
61 And they said to her, There is no one of thy kindred that is called by this name.
Ivo vakati kwaari, “Pakati pehama dzenyu hapana munhu ane zita iroro.”
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him named.
Ipapo vakaninira namaoko kuna baba vake, kuti vazive zita raaida kupa mwana.
63 And he asked for a writing-tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled.
Akavakumbira pokunyorera, akanyora kuti “Zita rake ndiJohani” uye vose vakashamiswa nazvo.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue was loosed; and he spoke, blessing God.
Pakarepo muromo wake wakazarurwa uye rurimi rwake rukasunungurwa, akatanga kutaura, achirumbidza Mwari.
65 And fear came on all that dwelt around them; and all these things were talked of throughout the whole of the hill-country of Judaea.
Vavakidzani vose vakazadzwa nokutya, nomunyika yose yezvikomo yeJudhea vanhu vakataura pamusoro pezvinhu izvi zvose.
66 And all that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What then will this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.
Vanhu vose vakazvinzwa vakashamiswa nazvo, vakati, “Mwana uyu achava akadiniko?” Nokuti ruoko rwaShe rwaiva naye.
67 And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Zekaria baba vake vakazadzwa noMweya Mutsvene uye vakaprofita vachiti:
68 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel! for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
“Ishe, Mwari waIsraeri ngaakudzwe, nokuti akauya akadzikinura vanhu vake.
69 and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant, —
Akatisimudzira runyanga rworuponeso muimba yomuranda wake Dhavhidhi,
sezvaakataura kubudikidza navaprofita vake vatsvene vekare, (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
iko kuponeswa kubva kuvavengi vedu naparuoko rwavose vanotivenga,
72 to accomplish his mercy toward our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
kunzwira madzibaba edu ngoni nokurangarira sungano yake tsvene,
73 the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
mhiko yaakapikira baba vedu Abhurahama:
74 to grant to us, that being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we might worship him without fear,
kutinunura kubva muruoko rwavavengi vedu, uye kutigonesa kuti timushumire tisingatyi,
75 in holiness and righteousness before him, all our days.
muutsvene nokururama pamberi pake mazuva edu ose.
76 And thou, child, shalt be called a prophet of the Most High; for thou shalt go in advance before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,
“Uye iwe, mwana wangu, uchanzi muprofita weWokumusoro-soro; nokuti uchatungamira pamberi paShe kuti umugadzirire nzira,
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins
kuti ape vanhu vake ruzivo rworuponeso kubudikidza nokuregererwa kwezvivi zvavo,
78 through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us,
nokuda kwomwoyo munyoro waMwari wedu, naye zuva richatibudira richibva kudenga,
79 to give light to those sitting in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
kuti rivhenekere pamusoro paavo vagere murima nomumumvuri worufu, uye kuti usesedze tsoka dzedu munzira yorugare.”
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit; and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.
Uye mwana akakura akava nesimba mumweya; uye akagara mugwenga kusvikira azoonekwa pachena kuvaIsraeri.
