Luke 1
1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to arrange a narrative of those things which are fully believed 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 they were delivered to us by those who were eye-witnesses from the beginning and became ministers of the word,
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 accurately traced up all things from the first, to write to thee a connected account, 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 thou mightst know the exact truth with regard to those things in which thou wast instructed.
Kia matau ai koe ki te tuturutanga o nga mea i whakaakona ai koe.
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.
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 And they were both righteous in the sight of God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
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 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both far 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 And it came to pass, that, while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his course,
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 priesthood the lot fell to him to go into the temple of the Lord and burn the 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 multitude of the people was praying without at the time of the incense.
Na i waho te nuinga katoa o te iwi e inoi ana i te haora whakakakara.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right 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 And Zachariah was troubled at the sight, 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, Fear not, Zachariah; for thy prayer was heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name John.
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 And thou wilt have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice for 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 will drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from his very birth.
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 And many of the sons of Israel will he turn 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And the people were looking for Zachariah, and wondering that he remained so long 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 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.
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 And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were completed, that he returned to his house.
A ka rite nga ra hei minitatanga mana, ka hoki ia ki tona whare.
24 And after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and 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 hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me to take away my reproach among men.
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 And in her sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
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 betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
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 And the angel came in to her and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored! the Lord is with thee.
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 And she was troubled at the words, and was considering what this salutation could mean.
Otira he nui tona oho ki taua kupu, ka whakaaroaro ki te tikanga o tenei ohatanga.
30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast 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 lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and hear a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
Nana, tera koe e hapu, ka whanau he tama, a ka huaina e koe tona ingoa ko Ihu.
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;
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 shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
Hei kingi hoki ia mo te whare o Hakopa ake ake; e kore ano e mutu tona rangatiratanga. (aiōn g165)
34 Then said Mary to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?
Na ka mea a Meri ki te anahera, E peheatia tenei, kahore nei hoki ahau e mohio ki te tane?
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.
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 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.
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 nothing will be impossible with God.
Kahore hoki he kupu i ahu mai i te Atua i kore e whai mana.
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.
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 And Mary arose and went in those days into the hill-country with haste, into a city of Judah.
Na ka whakatika a Meri i aua ra, a haere kaika ana ki te whenua pukepuke ki tetahi pa o Hura;
40 And she entered the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
A ka tomo ki te whare o Hakaraia, ka oha ki a Erihapeti.
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,
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 and cried out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women; and blessed is the fruit of thy 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 And whence is this to me, 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 lo! as soon as the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, the babe leaped in my womb in exultation.
Na, pa kau mai te reo o tau oha ki oku taringa, ka oho te tamaiti i toku kopu i te hari.
45 And blessed is she who hath believed that there will be an accomplishment of those things which were told 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 And Mary said, My soul magnifieth the Lord,
A ka mea a Meri, Ka whakanui toku wairua i te Ariki,
47 and my spirit hath exulted in God my Saviour;
E hari ana toku wairua ki te Atua, ki toku Kaiwhakaora;
48 for he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaiden. For lo! from this time 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 the Mighty One hath 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 and his mercy is from generation to generation on them that fear him.
He mahi tohu tana ki te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia, ki tenei whakatupuranga, ki tenei whakatupuranga.
51 He hath wrought mightily with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the device of their heart.
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 hath cast down princes from thrones, and exalted men of low degree.
Kua whakataka e ia nga piriniha i o ratou torona, a whakateiteitia ake ana te hunga iti.
53 The hungry he hath filled with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty.
Kua whakakiia e ia te hunga mate hiakai ki nga mea pai; kua tonoa kautia atu te hunga taonga.
54 He hath given help to Israel his servant, in remembrance of his 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 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
Na tata tonu ki te toru marama a Meri e noho ana ki a ia, a hoki ana ki tona whare.
57 Now Elizabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
A ka rite te taima o Erihapeti e whanau ai; na ka whanau he tama.
58 And her neighbors and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had showed great mercy toward 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 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.
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 And his mother answering said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
Na ka whakahoki tona whaea, ka mea, Kahore; engari me hua ia ko Hoani.
61 And they said to her, There is no one of thy kindred that 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 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him named.
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, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled.
Ka mea ia ki tetahi papa tuhituhi, a ka tuhituhi, ka mea, Ko Hoani hei ingoa mona. A miharo ana ratou katoa.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue was loosed; 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 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.
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 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.
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 And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, 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 Israel! for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
Kia whakapaingia te Ariki, te Atua o Iharaira; kua titiro mai hoki ia, kua hoko i tana iwi,
69 and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant, —
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 that 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 accomplish his mercy toward our fathers, and 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 swore to Abraham our father,
Ki te oati i oati ai ia ki a Aperahama, ki to tatou tupuna,
74 to grant to us, that being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we might worship 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 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,
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 in the remission of their sins
Hei whakamatau i tana iwi ki te ora, i o ratou hara e murua ana;
78 through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited 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 give light to those sitting 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 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit; and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.
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.
