Luke 1
1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to arrange a narrative of those things which are fully believed among us,
Mamih taengah aka soep tangtae hno kah cilol te muep a thuep tih boelrhai vaengah,
2 even as they were delivered to us by those who were eye-witnesses from the beginning and became 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, having accurately traced up all things from the first, to write to thee a connected account, most excellent Theophilus,
kai khaw khaeh khaeh boeih ka thuep koep tih hlangcong Theophilu nang taengah daek ham tluep ka poek.
4 that thou mightst know the exact truth with regard to those things in which thou wast instructed.
Te daengah ni hiluepnah ol loh n'thuituen te khaw na ming eh.
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.
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 And they were both righteous in the sight of God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Pathen hmaiah a dueng la bok om rhoi. Boeipa kah rhilam neh olpaek cungkuem dongah cuemthuek la pongpa rhoi.
7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both 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 And it came to pass, that, while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his course,
Pathen hmaiah a khosoih vaengkah bangla anih rhoihui te aitlaeng loh a pha.
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.
Khosoih kah khosing bangla, Boeipa kah bawkim khuiah kun tih hmueihphum ham a yo.
10 And the whole multitude of the people was praying without at the time of the incense.
Bo-ul tue vaengah pilnam khuikah aka om rhaengpuei boeih khaw poeng ah thangthui uh.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right 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 Zachariah was troubled at the sight, 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, Fear not, Zachariah; for thy prayer was heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name 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 thou wilt have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice for his birth.
Nang ham omngaihnah neh kohoenah la om vetih anih kah rhuirhong dongah boeih omngaih uh ni.
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.
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 many of the sons of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God.
Israel ca rhoek te a Boeipa Pathen taengla muep a mael puei ni.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And the people were looking for Zachariah, and wondering that he remained so long in the temple.
Te vaengah Zekhariah te aka lamso pilnam a om dongah bawkim khuiah a di te a ngaihmang uh.
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.
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 And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were completed, that he returned to his house.
Amah kah thothueng khohnin te a cup la a om phoeiah tah amah im la cet.
24 And after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Te khohnin phoeiah a yuu Elizabeth te vawn tih amah khaw hla nga thuh uh.
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me to take 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 And in her sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
Hla rhuk dongah Pathen taeng lamkah puencawn Gabriel te Galilee khopuei, a ming ah Nazareth la a tueih.
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
David imkhui kah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Joseph ham te oila a bae pah. Oila ming tah Mary ni.
28 And the angel came in to her and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored! the Lord is with thee.
Te phoeiah huta taengla kun tih, “A lungvat tangtae aw, omngaih lah, Boeipa tah nang taengah om pai,” a ti nah.
29 And she was troubled at the words, and was considering 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 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favor with God.
Puencawn loh anih te, “Mary rhih boeh, Pathen taengkah lungvatnah na dang coeng te.
31 And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and hear a son, and shalt 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 to him the throne of David his father;
Anih tah tanglue la om vetih Khohni capa tila a khue ni. Boeipa Pathen loh anih te a napa David kah ngolkhoel te a paek ni.
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; 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 Then said Mary to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?
Te vaengah Mary loh puencawn taengah, “Hekah he metlam a om eh? tongpa khaw ka ming moenih,” a ti nah.
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.
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 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.
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 nothing will be impossible with God.
Pathen kah olka boeih long tah a tloel nah moenih,” a ti nah.
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.
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 And Mary arose and went in those days into the hill-country with haste, into a city of Judah.
Mary tah tekah khohnin ah thoo tih tlang kah Judah kho ah thahluenah neh cet.
40 And she entered the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
Zekhariah im khuiah kun tih Elizabeth te a voek.
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,
Mary kah toidalnah te Elizabeth loh a yaak vaengah a bung khuikah cahni te soipet tih Elizabeth khaw Mueihla Cim neh baetawt.
42 and cried out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women; and blessed is the fruit of thy womb!
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 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Kai aih he metlam nim, ka boeipa kah a manu kai taengla ha pawk tarha he?
44 For lo! as soon as the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, the babe leaped in my womb in exultation.
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 hath believed that there will be an accomplishment of those things which were told her from the Lord.
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 magnifieth the Lord,
Mary long khaw, “Boeipa te ka hinglu loh a oep.
47 and my spirit hath exulted in God my Saviour;
Ka mueihla tah ka khangkung Pathen dongah hlampan coeng.
48 for he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaiden. For lo! from this time all generations will call me blessed;
A salnu mathoe he a paelki thil coeng dongah tahae lamkah tah cadil boeih loh kai ng'uem uh pawn ni.
49 for the Mighty One hath done great things for me; and holy is his name;
Kai taengah thaom tloe la a saii dongah, a ming tah cim pai saeh.
50 and his mercy is from generation to generation on them that fear him.
A rhennah tah amah aka rhih rhoek kah cadil cahma ham ni.
51 He hath wrought mightily with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the device of their heart.
A ban neh a thaomnah a saii, a thinko kopoek ah buhueng aka pom te a taekyak.
52 He hath cast down princes from thrones, and exalted men of low degree.
Mangpa rhoek a ngolkhoel lamloh a hlak tih, tlayae rhoek te a pomsang.
53 The hungry he hath filled with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty.
Bungpong rhoek te hno then neh a hah sak tih, khuehtawn rhoek a tlongtlai la a tueih.
54 He hath given help to Israel his servant, in remembrance of his mercy
A rhennah te poek sak hamla a ca Israel te a bom.
A pa rhoek taengah a thui bangla, Abraham neh a tiingan taengah kumhal duela a khueh,” a ti. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
Mary te Elizabeth neh hla thum tluk hmaih a naeh phoeiah amah im la bal.
57 Now Elizabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
Elizabeth te a om tue a pha coeng tih capa a cun.
58 And her neighbors and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had showed great 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 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.
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 And his mother answering said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
Tedae a manu loh a doo tih, “Moenih, Johan la a khue ni,” a ti nah.
61 And they said to her, There is no one of thy kindred that is called by this name.
Te vaengah anih taengah, “Hekah ming la a khue te na cako khuiah a om pawt ah,” a ti nauh.
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him named.
Camoe metla khue a ngaih poek tila a napa te a yavaih uh.
63 And he asked for a writing-tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled.
Te vaengah cabael a hoe tih a daek hatah, “A ming tah Johan ni,” a ti tih boeih a ngaihmang uh.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue was 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 fear came on all that dwelt around them; and all these things were talked of throughout the whole of the hill-country of Judaea.
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 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.
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 Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
A napa Zekhariah tah Mueihla Cim neh baetawt.
68 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel! for he hath 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 hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant, —
A taengom David im khuiah mamih ham khangnah ki a thoh sak.
Khosuen lamloh a tonghma ciim rhoek kah ka dongah a thui vanbangla, (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
Mamih kah rhal rhoek neh mamih aka hmuhuet rhoek boeih kut lamkah khangnah,
72 to accomplish his mercy toward our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
a pa rhoek taengah rhennah tueng sak ham neh a paipi ciim te poek sak ham,
73 the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
a pa Abraham taengah olhlo neh a toemngam te mamih paek ham,
74 to grant to us, that being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we might worship him without fear,
amah taengah thothueng hamla rhal kut lamloh hoel n'hlawt coeng.
75 in holiness and righteousness before him, all our days.
Mamih kah khohnin rhoek boeih te amah hmaiah duengnah neh cimcaihnah ham ni.
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,
Te phoeiah, camoe, nang tah Khohni tonghma la n'khue vetih a longpuei rhoekbah ham Boeipa hmaiah na lamhma ni.
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins
Amih kah tholh khodawkngainah rhangneh a pilnam taengah khangnah mingnah a paek ni.
78 through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us,
Mamih Pathen kah rhehnah om. Te nen te a sang lamkah khothoeng loh mamih n'hip.
79 to give light to those sitting in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Dueknah mueihlip neh yinnah khuiah aka ngol rhoek ham te a tue vetih, mamih kah kho te ngaimongnah longpuei la hoihaeng ham ni,” a ti.
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit; and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.
Camoe tah rhoeng tih mueihla ah khaw rhaang. Te dongah Israel taengah a phoenah khohnin duela khosoek ah om.
