Luke 1
1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to arrange a narrative of those things which are fully believed among us,
Mtuwa Teufili. Wantu wavua wajeriti kulemba vitwatira vyavitendikiti pakati pa twenga.
2 even as they were delivered to us by those who were eye-witnesses from the beginning and became ministers of the word,
Walembiti ntambu yawatugambiriti vilii vyawaviwoniti kwa masu gawu kwanjira pavyanjiti, na walii yawabweriti Shisoweru Shiwagira.
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,
Su mkulu Teufili, toziya nuvigendiriti weri vitwatira vyoseri avi kwanjira pavyanjiti, mona ifaa na neni nukulemberi weri ntambu yayirawiriti.
4 that thou mightst know the exact truth with regard to those things in which thou wast instructed.
Ntenda hangu, su na gwenga gupati kuvimana nakaka toziya ya vitwatira avi vyanukufunditi.
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.
Shipindi sha Herodi mfalumi gwa Yudeya, kuweriti na mkulu gwa numba ya Mlungu litawu lyakuwi wamshema Zakariya, yakaweriti gwa shipinga sha watambika sha Abiya. Mdala gwakuwi litawu lyakuwi wamshema Elizabeti nayomberi kaweriti gwa shiyiwuku sha mtambika Aruni.
6 And they were both righteous in the sight of God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Na woseri wawili waweriti wantu wa matendu gaherepa kulongolu kwa Mlungu, walikala pawagajimira malagaliru goseri ga Mtuwa.
7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both far advanced in years.
Kumbiti weriti wahera nonu, toziya Elizabeti kaweriti mpendi, vinu woseri wawili waweriti wagogolu.
8 And it came to pass, that, while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his course,
Lishaka limu Zakariya kaweriti kankutenda lihengu lyakuwi lya utambika Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, toziya shiweriti shipindi shakuwi sha kutambika.
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.
Kulawirana na vitiba vya watambika, Zakariya kasyagulitwi kwa kugalambuziya simbi kwingira Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu su katumiziyi ubani.
10 And the whole multitude of the people was praying without at the time of the incense.
Shipindi Zakariya pakaweriti kankutumiziya ubani, lipinga lya wantu waweriti walivaga pamuhera kunja wankumluwa Mlungu.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right of the altar of incense.
Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa kamlawiriti Zakariya, kagolokiti uwega wa kumliwu pashitalawanda sha kutambikira ubani.
12 And Zachariah was troubled at the sight, and fear fell upon him.
Zakariya pakamwoniti, kalilimuka, kaweriti na lyoga.
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.
Kumbiti ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamgambiriti, “Nagutira Zakariya! Mlungu kapikanira kala kuluwa kwaku. Mdala gwaku Elizabeti hakakuleleri mwana mpalu. Na mwana ayu litawu lyakuwi gumshemi Yohani.
14 And thou wilt have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice for his birth.
Yomberi hakaweri nemeru na nemeleru kwaku, wantu wavuwa hawaweri na nemeleru kwa kwiwuka kwakuwi.
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.
Yomberi hakaweri mkulu pamasu pa Mtuwa, hakalandi ndiri divayi ama ujimbi, yomberi hakamemi Rohu Mnanagala kwanjira mumtima mwa mawu gwakuwi.
16 And many of the sons of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God.
Hakawatendi wantu wavuwa wa Israeli wamuwuyiri Mtuwa Mlungu gwawu.
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.
Yomberi hakamlongoleri Mtuwa, hakaweri na makakala pamuhera na uwezu ntambu yakaweriti Eliya mbuyi gwa Mlungu. Hakawajegi kayi pamuhera wana na watati, hakawawuziyi wantu yawamjimira ndiri Mlungu kuwera na maholu ga wantu yawamfiriziya Mlungu na kumtandira Mtuwa wantu yawasyagulitwi.”
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.
Zakariya kamkosiya ntumintumi gwa kumpindi, “Hanuvimani hashi shisoweru ashi? Toziya neni pamuhera na mdala gwangu twawagogolu.”
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.
Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamwankula, “Neni Gaburieli yangoloka kulongolu kwa Mlungu, ndo kantuma ntakuli na gwenga na kukugambira shisoweru ashi shiwagira.
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.
Vinu guloli! Toziya gujimira ndiri shisoweru shangu, ashi hashitendeki kwa shipindi shakuwi, vinu haguweri bubu, haguwezi ndiri kutakula mpaka lishaka lilii pashilawira shisoweru ashi.”
21 And the people were looking for Zachariah, and wondering that he remained so long in the temple.
Lipinga lya wantu liweriti lyankumuhepera Zakariya na walikangasha kwa kukawa kwakuwi mulii Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu.
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.
Pakalawiti kasinditi kutakula nawomberi, nayomberi kendereyiti kuwalanguziya kwa mawoku hera, nawomberi wavimaniti kuwera kawoniti shintu Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were completed, that he returned to his house.
Pashiperiti kala shipindi shakuwi sha kutenda lihengu Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, kagenditi ukaya kwakuwi.
24 And after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Pa mashaka galii mdala gwakuwi Elizabeti kawera na yinda, kalikaliti mnumba kwa myezi muhanu,
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me to take away my reproach among men.
kalitakuliti, “Vinu Mtuwa kamonera lusungu kwa kumusilira soni zyangu kulongolu kwa wantu.”
26 And in her sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
Yinda ya Elizabeti pasokiti myezi sita, Mlungu kamtumiti Gaburieli ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kagendi mpaka Galilaya, lushi lwa Nazareti.
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
Kaweriti na shisoweru kwa muhinga bikira yakahetitwi na muntu yawamshema Yosefu, gwa shiyiwuku sha Dawudi, litawu lyakuwi ayu bikira ndo Mariya.
28 And the angel came in to her and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored! the Lord is with thee.
Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamwiziriti Mariya na kumulamusiya, “Gwakashina? Ponga iweri pamuhera na gwenga! Mtuwa kapamuhera na gwenga, kakupanana upendelewu.”
29 And she was troubled at the words, and was considering what this salutation could mean.
Mariya kalisheliti nentu, toziya ya shisoweru sha ntumintumi gwa kumpindi, kaliholiti mumoyu pakalikosiya, “Kulamusiya aku kwana mana gaa?”
30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favor with God.
Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamgambiriti Mariya, “Nagutira Mariya, Mlungu kakupapanana manemu.
31 And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and hear a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
Guloli, haguweri na yinda na kwiwula mwana mpalu na litawu lyakuwi hagumshemi Yesu.
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;
Ayu hakaweri mkulu, hawamshemi mwana gwa Mlungu na Mtuwa Mlungu hakampanani shibanta sha ufalumi sha Dawudi mbuyi gwakuwi.
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
Hakakolimlima lukolu lwa Yakobu mashaka goseri na ufalumi wakuwi hapeni uweri na upeleru.” (aiōn g165)
34 Then said Mary to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?
Mariya kamgambiriti ntumintumi gwa kumpindi, “Neni haneliwoni na mpalu! Hashiweri ashi shisoweru ashi?”
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.
Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamuwankula, “Rohu Mnanagala hakizi kwaku na makakala ga Mlungu hagakwizili. Toziya ayi mwana hakiwukili hakaweri mnanagala, hakashemwi Mwana gwa Mlungu.
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.
Gumuholi mlongu gwaku Elizabeti, yomberi yawamshemiti mpendi kumbiti hakaleri mwana mpalu muugogolu wakuwi na mwezi agu ndo mwezi gwa sita kwa yinda yakuwi.
37 For nothing will be impossible with God.
Toziya kwahera shintu shashikamala kwa Mlungu.”
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.
Mariya katakula, “Neni na ntumintumi gwa Mtuwa! Iweri kwa neni ntambu ya gulongiti.” Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kawukiti na kugenda zakuwi.
39 And Mary arose and went in those days into the hill-country with haste, into a city of Judah.
Mashaka galii Mariya kawukiti kagenditi mpaka isi ya mulugongu lwa Yudeya.
40 And she entered the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
Aku kingiriti mnumba mwa Zakariya na kamlamsiyiti Elizabeti.
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,
Elizabeti pakapikaniriti ntambu Mariya yakamlamsiyiti, nonu kadunkula mumtima mwakuwi. Elizabeti kamemiti Rohu Mnanagala,
42 and cried out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women; and blessed is the fruit of thy womb!
Elizabeti kalonga, “Gutekelerwa gwenga pakati pa wadala woseri na katekelerwi mwana hakiwukili mumtima mwaku.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Neni na gaa ata mawu gwa Mtuwa gwangu kanizili neni?
44 For lo! as soon as the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, the babe leaped in my womb in exultation.
Nakugambira, palaa pampikaniriti ntambu yagunamusiyiti, nonu kadunkula kwa kunemelera mumtima mwangu.
45 And blessed is she who hath believed that there will be an accomplishment of those things which were told her from the Lord.
Mbaka gwenga toziya gujimira kuwera havitendeki vitwatira vyakakugambiriti Mtuwa.”
46 And Mary said, My soul magnifieth the Lord,
Mariya kalonga, “Moyu gwangu gumkwisa Mtuwa,
47 and my spirit hath exulted in God my Saviour;
Na rohu yangu yankunemelera, Toziya Mlungu ndo Mlopoziya gwangu.
48 for he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaiden. For lo! from this time all generations will call me blessed;
Toziya kamonera lusungu neni ntumintumi gwakuwi. Kwanjira vinu wantu woseri hawalongi Mlungu kantekelera,
49 for the Mighty One hath done great things for me; and holy is his name;
Toziya ya shintu shikulu shakantendera Mlungu. Litawu lyakuwi linanagala.
50 and his mercy is from generation to generation on them that fear him.
Kawalanguziya lusungu lwakuwi Kwa walii yawampanana ligoya kwa shiyiwuku na shiyiwuku.
51 He hath wrought mightily with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the device of their heart.
Katenda vitwatira vikulu kwa liwoku lyakuwi, Kawapalasiya yawawera na msindu pamuhera na mipangu ya myoyu yawu.
52 He hath cast down princes from thrones, and exalted men of low degree.
Kawasulusiya yawawera na likakala mu ukolamlima wawu, Na kawakweniziya wananagala.
53 The hungry he hath filled with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty.
Yawawera na njala kawayikutiziya vintu viherepa, Na walunda kawawusiya mawoku hera.
54 He hath given help to Israel his servant, in remembrance of his mercy
Katenda shakatakuliti kwa wambuyi wetu wagona, Kiza kumtanga Israeli ntumintumi gwakuwi.
Ntambu vyakawagambiriti wambuyi wetu, Aburahamu na wiwuka wakuwi mashaka goseri!” (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
Mariya kalikaliti pamuhera na Elizabeti kwa shipindi sha myezi mitatu, shakapanu kawuyiti ukaya kwakuwi.
57 Now Elizabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
Shipindi sha Elizabeti kwiwura shisokiti, kiwuliti mwana mpalu.
58 And her neighbors and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had showed great mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her.
Wantu wapakwegera wakuwi na walongu wakuwi pawapikaniriti visoweru viherepa vya kulikangasha Mtuwa vyakavitenditi kwa Elizabeti, womberi wanemeleriti pamuhera na yomberi.
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.
Palipititi lijuwa limu, womberi wiziti kumwingiziya jandu mwana, wafira kumpanana litawu lya tati gwakuwi, Zakariya.
60 And his mother answering said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
Kumbiti mawu gwakuwi kalonga, “Hangu ndiri! Litawu lyakuwi hawamshemi Yohani.”
61 And they said to her, There is no one of thy kindred that is called by this name.
Wamgambira, “Kwehera muntu muwalongu waku yawamshema litawu ali!”
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him named.
Wamlanguziyiti langaliru tati gwakuwi, wavimana ntambu hakamshemi.
63 And he asked for a writing-tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled.
Zakariya kaluwiti shibawu na kalemba hangu, “Litawu lyakuwi ndo Yohani.” Kila muntu kalikangasha.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue was loosed; and he spoke, blessing God.
Pala palii Zakariya kanjiti kayi kutakula, kanjiti kumkwisa Mlungu.
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.
Lyoga lyayingiriti woseri yawalikaliti pakwegera nayomberi na visoweru avi vyoseri vyeniyiti muisi yoseri ya mulugongu mwa Yudeya.
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.
Woseri yawapikaniriti vitwatira avi, waliholiti mumyoyu mwawu pawalonga, “Mwana ayu hakaweri gwa ntambu gaa?” Toziya nakaka makakala ga Mtuwa hagaweri pamuhera nayomberi.
67 And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Zakariya, tati gwa Yohani kamemiziwiti Rohu Mnanagala, katungiti shisoweru shiwagira sha Mlungu.
68 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel! for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
Tumkwisi Mtuwa, Mlungu gwa Israeli! Kiza kuwatanga wantu wakuwi na kuwakombola.
69 and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant, —
Katupanana mlopoziya mkulu Mushiyiwuku sha Dawudi ntumintumi gwakuwi.
Gambira ntambu yakawagambiriti wambuyi wa Mlungu wananagala kwanjira kwanja. (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
Hakatulopoziyi kulawa mumawoku mwa wangondu wetu na kutulaviya kulawa mumakakala mwa woseri yawatufira ndiri.
72 to accomplish his mercy toward our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
Kalongiti hakawawoneri lusungu wambuyi wetu, na kulihola lipatanu lyakuwi linanagala.
73 the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
Kulirapa kwakamlapiriti Aburahamu mbuyi gwetu,
74 to grant to us, that being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we might worship him without fear,
kuwera hakatutangi twenga tulopoziwi kulawa kwa wangondu wetu. Katugambira tumtenderi Mlungu pota na lyoga,
75 in holiness and righteousness before him, all our days.
tuweri wananagala yatumfiriziya Mlungu mashaka goseri ga makaliru getu.
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,
“Na gwenga mwana gwangu, hawakushemi mbuyi gwa Mlungu kakumpindi nentu. Toziya hagumlongoleri Mtuwa kumnyawila njira yakuwi,
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins
haguwagambiri wantu wakuwi kuwera hawalopoziwi kwa kuwawusilira vidoda vyawu.
78 through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us,
Mlungu gwetu mnanagala na yakawera na lusungu. Hakatulavilili gulangala gwa ulopoziya kulawa kumpindi,
79 to give light to those sitting in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
na kawalangazira woseri yawalikala muluwindu lwa kuhowa, na kuwalonguziya magulu getu munjira ya ponga.”
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit; and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.
Mwana kendereyiti kukula nshimba na kuwera na makakala murohu. Kalikaliti kushiwala mpaka lishaka lya kuliranguziya mweni kwa wantu wa Israeli.
