Luke 1
1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to arrange a narrative of those things which are fully believed among us,
Bi niba boncianla jagi ke ban diani, ki togdi ya bontienkaala n tieni ti siiga nni,
2 even as they were delivered to us by those who were eye-witnesses from the beginning and became ministers of the word,
ti kpaagi yaaba n tie kasiednba leni bi nuni hali micilma, ki tua U Tienu maama tuonsɔla.
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,
Lan wani, n mo kali, ki jagi, ki buali, ki bandi bonŋanla yaali n tieni hali mi cilma, ki ba diani, ki togdi a leni mi kpaagma, fini, n buado leni n nicɔlnka Teofili.
4 that thou mightst know the exact truth with regard to those things in which thou wast instructed.
Yeni, a ba bandi ŋan ga ya bangima mɔmɔni cain.
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.
herodi ṅ bo tie Jude badciamo ya yogu, salga yidka bo ye, ki yi Sakali, ki tie Abia salga yidkaaba cagli yua. O denpua bo tie Aron puolŋuanu, ki yi Elisabeti
6 And they were both righteous in the sight of God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Bi kuli bo tie nitegnkaaba U Tienu nintuali; bi kuli bo cɔlni U Tienu ñɔmabona, leni o yobdaano bali maama kuli, kaa pia kpiadma.
7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both far advanced in years.
Bi bo ki pia biga kelima Elisabeti bo tie ŋɔlga, ke bani bilie kuli ji bo podi o.
8 And it came to pass, that, while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his course,
Dayeli, Sakali den yidi salga U Tienu dieli nni, li den tie bi cagli salga yidma yogu i;
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.
bi den cɔlni salga yidkaaba danbogda, ki lugdi o ke wan kua salga yidkaanu, ki ŋubni li ŋubli.
10 And the whole multitude of the people was praying without at the time of the incense.
Li ŋubli salga yidma yognu, ku niwulgu kuli den se niipo, ki jaandi.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right of the altar of incense.
O diedo maleki den ludi o, ki legdi, ki sedi li ŋubli salga binbinli jienu po.
12 And Zachariah was troubled at the sight, and fear fell upon him.
Sakali ṅ la o, o yama ṅ pudi, ti jawaandi ṅ cuo o.
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.
Ama, maleki ṅ maadi o: “Da jie, Sakali, ki dugni, U Tienu gbadi a jaandi. A denpua Elisabeti ba punbi, ki mali a po bonjaga, ŋan yini o Jan.
14 And thou wilt have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice for his birth.
O ba tua a po pamancianli, ke bi niba boncianla ba mangi bi pala o madi po.
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.
O ba tua niciamo O Diedo nintuali. O kan ñu daamɔngu, ki nan buali daapaama. O ba ya gbie leni U Tienu foŋanma, ki da ŋaani mi biima.
16 And many of the sons of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God.
Isayeli yaaba boncianla ba guani O Diedo, bi tienu kani.
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.
O ba sɔni o tuonli ki dudi U Tienu nunbu nni leni Elia fuoma leni o paaciamu, ki cedi bibaanba leni bi bila ṅ guani ki mangi leni bi yaba, ki todi yaaba n ki tie nicɔlnkaaba, ban togdi bi nitegnkaaba maalma, ki ji bobni, ki tua ya nibuolu n ye U Tienu po.
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.
Sakali ṅ buali maleki: “Be n ba teni min bandi? Kelima mini nba n ciandi, ke n denpua mo podi boncianla”.
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.
Maleki ṅ guani ki jiini o: Mini n tie Gabiyeli, ki ye U Tienu kani, ki tuuni o po. Wani n sɔni nni ke min caa u tondu, ki pa ŋa ya laabaalŋamo ne.
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.
Lanwani, lan ba tieni maama n ne: A ba tua muulo, ki kan fidi ki maadi, hali ki tuoni ya daali ke min puni a ya laabaalŋamo ne yogu ba pundi, lan tieni ki dudi.
21 And the people were looking for Zachariah, and wondering that he remained so long in the temple.
Lan kuli ṅ den tie ya yognu, bi niba den guu Sakali, ke li pagi ba leni wan waagi salga binbinli dieli nni.
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.
Wan ji den ñani, o ji den kan fidi ki maadi leni li nitaanli. Bi ji den bandi ke o la bonlegdikaali salga binbinli dieli nni. Wani ji den tua muulo, ki ji maadi leni o nui.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were completed, that he returned to his house.
Wan gbeni o salga yidma dana, ke o guani, ki kuni o denpo.
24 And after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Lan tieni danaba, o denpua Elisabeti ṅ punbi, ki tieni ŋmaali mu, ki ye deni, kaa ña. O den maadi o pali nni,
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me to take away my reproach among men.
“Ne tie O Diedo tuonli i. O diidi nni leni mi yanbuama, ki piini yaali n den tie n po fee, bi niba kuli siiga.
26 And in her sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
ŋmaali luoba ṅ pendi, Elisabeti tugpunbdi puoli, U Tienu ṅ sɔni maleki Gabyeli Galile dociamu nni, ke bi yi li dogu Nasareti.
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
jifaano kani, ke o tie ja cikpenga, ke bi yi o Josefi, ke o tie o badciamo, Davidi puolŋuanu. Li jifaano den yi Maari.
28 And the angel came in to her and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored! the Lord is with thee.
Maleki ṅ kua o kani, ki yedi o: “Mangi a pali, fini yua ke U Tienu cabi a o ŋanbili; O Diedo ye leni a.”
29 And she was troubled at the words, and was considering what this salutation could mean.
Mari yama ṅ yagi boncianla, li maama po; wan buali o pali nni lan ya fuodi niima nni.
30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favor with God.
Maleki ṅ maadi o: Da jie, Maari, kelima U Tienu n cabi a o ŋanbili.
31 And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and hear a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
Yaali n ba tieni n ne: Li kan kandi dana, a ba punbi, ki mali bonjaga, ki yini o 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;
O ba tua niciamo, ban yini o “Tanpojoma Tienu Bijua” O Diedo U Tienu ba teni o o yaja, o badciamo Dafidi badkpagli.
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
O ba diedi ya buolu n ñani Jakobo kani hali ya yogu n ki pia juodma. (aiōn g165)
34 Then said Mary to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?
Maari ṅ maadi maleki, li ba tieni ledi, kelima n tie powandiali i, n ki bani ja?
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.
Maleki ṅ guani ki jiini o, “U Tienu foŋanma ba jiidi a po, ke Tanpojoma Tienu paaciamu ṅ fibni a leni o junjungu. Lan ya po i, ke bi ba yini ŋan ba mali ya biga U Tienu Biga.
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.
Diidi, a kpiilo Elisabeti mo punbi, ki guu bonjaga yeni wan ciandi maama kuli, ke bi tua ke o ji kan baa biga; o ji ye o ŋmaaluobidi n yeni.
37 For nothing will be impossible with God.
Kelima U Tienu ki pia wan gbali yaala.
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.
Maari ṅ maadi: “N tie O Diedo tuonsɔnlo i, ŋan yedi nni yaala ṅ tieni ki dudi nani lan buali maama. Ke maleki ñani ki ŋa o.
39 And Mary arose and went in those days into the hill-country with haste, into a city of Judah.
Li ki waagi ke Maari fii, ki ŋmaa tonma, ki gedi Jude juana dociamu nni.
40 And she entered the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
Ki kua Sakali deni, ki fuondi Elisabeti.
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,
Wan gbadi Maari fuondi ya yognu, ke o biga yugi ki ciidi o tugu nni, ke Elisabeti gbie leni U Tienu foŋanma.
42 and cried out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women; and blessed is the fruit of thy womb!
Ke o fiini u nialu, ki kpaandi, ki yedi: “A baa mi yedŋanma bi puoba kuli siiga, ke a tugu nni biga mo gbie leni mi yedŋanma.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Be n teni ke n dagdi yeni li seli, ke O Diedo naa cua n kani ki bua la nni.
44 For lo! as soon as the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, the babe leaped in my womb in exultation.
Kelima diidi min gbadi ke a fuondi nni ya yognu, ke n biga jeli leni li pamanli n tugu nni.
45 And blessed is she who hath believed that there will be an accomplishment of those things which were told her from the Lord.
U yenyienŋamu (mi yedŋama) ye leni fini yua n dugi ke U Tienu ṅ sɔni a po ya tondu ba tieni ki dudi”
46 And Mary said, My soul magnifieth the Lord,
Lan yognu, Ke Maari yedi: “N naano yiini O Diedo kpiagdi.
47 and my spirit hath exulted in God my Saviour;
Ke n yantiali mangdi li pali, O Diedo U Tienu, n candaano po.
48 for he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaiden. For lo! from this time all generations will call me blessed;
Kelima o tuo ki tibni ki diidi mini talga, o tuonsɔnlo. Lan ya po, lan fii lan faa, leni yogu kuli, bi ba yini nni o cabŋandaano.
49 for the Mighty One hath done great things for me; and holy is his name;
Kelima U Tienu, U Paaciamu daano tieni n po yaali n yabi.
50 and his mercy is from generation to generation on them that fear him.
O ŋanma ba tandi nifiima ṅ tuu nifiima yaaba n cɔlni o po.
51 He hath wrought mightily with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the device of their heart.
O tandi o nuu leni u paaciamu, ki yadi yaaba ya pala n gbie leni ti japaadi'
52 He hath cast down princes from thrones, and exalted men of low degree.
O tudi ki jiini bi paadanba bi badkpaga po. ki nan duoni talganba.
53 The hungry he hath filled with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty.
O gbieni a konkonba leni a bonŋana, ki nan deli ki yaani bi ŋalmandanba i nuukuomi.
54 He hath given help to Israel his servant, in remembrance of his mercy
Nn, O puni Isayeli, mi todma o pakɔnli kuli po, ki waani o ŋanma ya nibuolu n tie o tuonsɔnba po.
(Nani wan bo niani ti yajanba) Abalahama leni o puolŋuani hali ya yogu n ki pia gbenma. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
Maari kali leni Elisabeti nani ŋmaali taa yeni, ki guani ki kuni o denpo
57 Now Elizabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
Elisabeti madi ji bo nagi n yeni, ke o mali bonjaga.
58 And her neighbors and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had showed great mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her.
O kuantalieba leni o kpiiba den bandi O Diedo ṅ tieni o po ya ŋanbli. ki tieni u badu leni o, ki waani bi pamanli ṅ dagdi maama.
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.
O madi n ́pendi daaniili daali, ban cua ki ba kuani ki canpandga ku kɔnciagu. Bi den bua ban yini ki biga “Sakali” nani o báa n ́yi maama,
60 And his mother answering said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
ama ke o naá jiini ki maadi, “N N, O baa yi Jan i.”
61 And they said to her, There is no one of thy kindred that is called by this name.
Ama ke bi maadi o, “Nilo ki ye i diegu nni ki gaani lan ya yeli”
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him named.
Lan wani, ke bi buali bibáa mi muulma nni, wan bua yini ki biga maama.
63 And he asked for a writing-tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled.
O báa ń buali, ban teni o ki kpagdiankaaga (walga), wan diani ya lanbona ne, “O yeli tie Jan.” Lan tua bi kuli ya po pagili.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue was loosed; and he spoke, blessing God.
Lan yognu liga, o ñɔbu ń mubdi, o lanbu ń tabdi. Wan ji ya maadi, ki kpiagdi U Tienu.
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.
Ti jawaandi den cuo yaaba n den gaani ki lindi ba. Li laabaali den yadi i kaani kuli, Jude juana dogi nni.
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.
Yaaba n den gbadi li maama den maadi: “Ya biga ne ba tua be?” kelima U Tienu den ye leni o.
67 And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Sakali ki biga báa den gbie leni U Tienu foŋanma, ke o pua sawali, ki yedi:
68 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel! for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
Dondi mani O Diedo, Isayeli tienu, kelima, o todi o buolu, ki faabi u.
69 and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant, —
Ti ya po, o candaano yua n gbie leni u paaciamu mali o tuonsɔnlo, o badciamo Dafidi puolŋuani siiga.
Wan den sɔni o sawalpuaba yaaba n gbie leni U Tienu foŋanma, ke bi niani ti yajanba yaala hali mi cilma, tieni ki dudi. (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
Ke o ba faabi ti ti yibalinba nui nni, leni ti nantieba gbanmanu kani.
72 to accomplish his mercy toward our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
O tie bonli kuli ke li wangi o ŋancianma ti yajanba po, ki gɔa ki tiadi o n̄ɔnianu.
73 the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
Wan den niani ti yaja, Abalahama yaali tieni ki dudi.
74 to grant to us, that being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we might worship him without fear,
O poli ke o ya fie ti ti yibalinba nui nni, o ba cabi ti ki nunmanga, tin ya jaandi o kaa jie
75 in holiness and righteousness before him, all our days.
Ki tuuni o tuona, ki tie o buolŋamu, ki tie nitegnkaaba o nintuali daali kuli ti yenyienu nni.
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,
Nn, Ke fini, ki biñidga, bi ba yini a Tanpojoma sawalpualo, kelima, a ba ga sanliiga, ki cuoni U Tienu nintuali, ki bobni o sanu
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins
Ki teni o buolu ń bandi ke U Tienu puni u mi faabma, ki tieni u tuonbiidi po sugli.
78 through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us,
Kelima ti tienu gbie leni ti niñinpadi leni mi ŋanma. Lanyapo, ku yenpudkaagu ba ña tanpoli, ki yendi ti po.
79 to give light to those sitting in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Ki yendi yaaba kuli n ye li biigli nni leni mi kuuma junjungu nni, ki pegdi ti taaŋmaadi mi yanduanma (li yanŋaali) sanu po
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit; and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.
Ki biga den yabdi, ke o yantiali mo paagdi ki pugdi. O den ti juodi ki ye ki tinkuonga nni i, hali yeni ya yogu ke o ti legdi ki waani o yuli Isayeli buolu po.
