Luke 1
1 Seeing, indeed, that, many, had taken in hand to re-arrange for themselves a narrative, concerning the facts which have been fully confirmed amongst us, —
Ka püi Theophiluh aw; ajana thawn khawikia mawng cun, khyang khawjah naw mi ksunga pyena ngthu yu khai hea ana ktha na khawiki he.
2 according as they who from the beginning became eye-witnesses and attendants of the Word delivered them unto us,
Akcüka ana hmu u lü ngthu ana sang khawiki he naw mi veia ami pyen ana yuki he.
3 it seemed good, even to me, having closely traced from the outset all things accurately, to write unto thee, in order, most excellent Theophilus:
Acunakyase nang angvai aw, angsinga ka ngaihkyu käna, acuna mawng cun, angsinga na hama yuk üng daw khaia ngaikyu veng.
4 that, as touching the matters which thou hadst been taught by word of mouth, thou mightest obtain full knowledge, of the certainty.
Ajana ngthu ami ning mthei he cen ngthungtak ni ti na ksingnak vaia ka yuka kyaki ni.
5 It came to pass, in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, that there was a certain priest, by name Zachariah, of the daily course of Abia; and that he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and, her name, was Elizabeth.
Judah khawa sangpuxang Herod a bawi kcün üng, ktaiyü Abijaha khuikyawng üngka ktaiyü mat Zakharih ngming naki awmki; acun naw ktaiyüa khuikyawng üngka a khyunak, a ngming cun Elizabeta kyaki.
6 Now they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and righteous appointments of the Lord, blameless;
Ani nghngih Pamhnama mik hmuha akdawa xüngseiki xawi, pyen vai am hlü khaia Bawipa ngthupet la, ngthummkhän avan läki xawi.
7 and they had no child, inasmuch as Elizabeth was barren, and, both, had become, advanced in their days.
Elizabet cingkia kyase am ca ni lü, aktäa xüki xawi.
8 But it came to pass, as he was doing priestly service in the order of his daily course, before God,
Mhmüp mat üng Zakharih cun ktaiyüa khüih khawia kba Pamhnama Temple k'uma a khüih k'um üng,
9 according to the custom of his priesthood, it fell to his lot to offer incense, entering into the Temple of the Lord;
ktaiyüa thuma Bawipa Temple k'uma lut lü, ng'uinghnam mkhih khaia xüa kyaki.
10 and, all the throng of the people, was praying outside, at the hour of the incense offering.
Acunüng, ng'uinghnam a mkhih k'um üng khyang he ami van kpunga ktaiyüki he.
11 And there appeared unto him a messenger of the Lord, standing on the right hand of the altar of incense;
Acunüng, Bawipa khankhawngsä mat Zakhariha veia ngdang law lü, ng'uinghnam mkhihnaka kpat lama ngdüi lawki.
12 and Zachariah was troubled when he beheld, and, fear, fell upon him.
Zakharih naw khankhawngsä a hmuh üng kyüh lü ngxetki.
13 But the messenger said unto him—Do not fear, Zachariah! Inasmuch as thy supplication hath been hearkened to, —and, thy wife Elizabeth, shall bring forth a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name, John;
Acunüng, khankhawngsä naw, “Zakharih, ä kyüa, na ktaiyünak ngjak pänga kya ve, acunakyase na khyu Elizabet naw cangpyang mat ca na se, Johana na sui khai.
14 And there shall be joy to thee and exulting, and, many, over his birth, shall rejoice;
Nang jekyai lü na hlim khai, khyang khawjah ania hmi lawa phäha jekyai khai he.
15 For he shall be great before the Lord, and, wine and strong drink, in nowise may he drink, and, with Holy Spirit, shall he be filled, already, from his mother’s womb;
Ani cun Bawipa ngaiha kyäp khai, ju naki i am ei aw khai. A nua puk k'um üng tün lü ngcimcaihkia ngmüimkhya am be khai.
16 And, many of the Sons of Israel, shall he turn towards the Lord their God;
Acunüng ani naw Isarela ca he khawjah, ami Bawipa Pamhnama veia jah nghlat sak be khai.
17 And, he, shall go before him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, —To turn the hearts of fathers unto children, and the unyielding, into the prudence of the righteous, and to prepare, for the Lord, a people made ready.
Ani naw pa he la ca he alanga jah lawpüi be lü, am cingcaihki he ngsungpyunak ksingnaka lam üng jah nghlat sak be lü, khyang he Pamhnama phäha jah ngtünngceisak khai, Elijaha ngmüimkhya la khyaihbahnak am Pamhnama maa cit khai,” a ti.
18 And Zachariah said unto the messenger—Whereby, shall I know this? for, I, am, aged, and, my wife, advanced in her days.
Acunüng Zakharih naw khankhawngsä üng, “Ikba acun ka ksing vai aw? Kei pakse ni, ka xü pängki, ka khyu pi nukpüi lü, a khawkum xü pängki ni,” a ti.
19 And the messenger, answering, said unto him—I, am Gabriel, —he that standeth near before God; and have been sent forth to speak unto thee, and to deliver the joyful message unto thee, as touching these things.
Khankhawngsä naw, “Kei Kabriel, Pamhnama ma ngdüikia ka kyaki, nanga veia hina jekyainaka ngthu lawpüi khaia tüih lawa ka kyaki.
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 in my words, —the which shall be fulfilled for their season.
Cunsepi Ngaia, ka ngthu akcün üng kümkawi law khai am na juma phäha, hina ka ngthu am a kümkawi law ham üng am ngthuhei thei lü, na ang khai,” a ti.
21 And the people were expecting Zachariah, and began to marvel that he should tarry in the Temple;
Khyang he Zakharih kpunga ana ngängki he, Temple k'uma a di lawa phäha aktäa cäiki he.
22 and when he came forth he was not able to speak unto them, and they perceived that, a vision, he had seen in the Temple, —and, he, continued making signs unto them, and remained dumb.
Acunüng, a luh law be üng ami veia am ngthuhei thei lü, a kut am jah kha hü se, Temple k'uma mdannak hmukia ami ksing.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his public ministration were fulfilled, that he departed unto his house.
Acunüng, ktaiyü a binaka kcün ngpäng se a ima cit beki.
24 And, after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she disguised herself five months, saying—
Acunkäna a khyu Elizabet m’yai law lü im k'uma khya mhma ngküpki.
25 Thus, for me, hath the Lord wrought, —in the days in which he looked upon me, to take away my reproach among men.
Acunüng Elizabet naw “Khyang hea ami na ksekhanak Pamhnam naw na kpüi lü a na lawhin pet ni,” a ti.
26 Now, in the sixth month, was the messenger Gabriel sent forth from God, into a city of Galilee, the name of which was Nazareth, —
Acunüng, akhya khyuk üng Pamhnam naw khankhawngsä Kabriel Kalile khaw, Nazareta a tüih.
27 unto a virgin, betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and, the name of the virgin, was, Mary;
Acuna nglami cun Davita pakhui üngka, Josep ngming nakia khyu vaia ami mkhyäpa kyaki. Nglamia ngming cun Marih naki.
28 and entering in unto her, he said—Joy to thee, favoured one! The Lord, be with thee!
Acunüng, khankhawngsä naw Mariha veia lut lü, “Pamhnama hlüei la jekyainak, dim’yenak am awma, Pamhnam na veia awm ve, nghnumi he avan üng na josen säih ve,” a ti.
29 And, she, at the word, was greatly troubled, and began to deliberate, of what kind, this salutation, might be.
Acuna khankhawngsäng naw i a ti hlünak am ksing lü aktäa cäi lü kyüki.
30 And the messenger said unto her—Do not fear, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God, —
Acunüng, khankhawngsä naw, “Marih aw, ä kyüa; Pamhnam na veia dawki ni,
31 And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name, Jesus:
m’yai lü, kpamica na ca khai, a ngming Jesuha na sui khai.
32 the same, shall be great, and, Son of the Most High, shall be called, and the Lord God, will give unto him, the throne of David his father, —
Ani cun kyäpsawk law se, ak'hlüng säiha Capa ti khai he, Bawipa Pamhnam naw a pu Davita mäiha sangpuxanga pawh law khai.
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob, unto the ages, and, of his kingdom, there shall be, no end. (aiōn g165)
Ani naw Jakopa mjü he angläta jah uk se, a khaw am düt khai ni,” a ti. (aiōn g165)
34 But Mary said unto the messenger—How, shall this thing be, seeing that, a man, I know not?
Marih naw, khankhawngsä üng, “Kei am ka ceimahki hin ikba acunkba kya thei khai aw?” a ti.
35 And answering, the messenger said unto her—The Holy Spirit, shall come upon thee, and, the power of the Most High, shall overshadow thee; wherefore, even that which is to be born, Holy, shall be called, Son of God.
Khankhawngsä naw msang lü, “Ngmüimkhya Ngcim na khana pha law se, hlüng säihkia johit naw ning hlawp tawm law khai, acunakyase hmi law khaia khyang ngcim pi Mhnama Capa ti khai he.
36 And lo! Elizabeth thy kinswoman, even she, hath conceived a son in, her old-age; —and, this month, is, the sixth, to her, the so-called barren one;
Acunüng ngaia, cingki ami ti khawi na püi Elizabet pi a xü käna kpamica m’yai na se atuh khya khyuk law pängki.
37 Because no declaration from God, shall be void of power.
Pamhnama am a ti thei i am awm naw,” a ti.
38 And Mary said—Lo! the handmaid of the Lord! Might it come to pass unto me, according to thy declaration. And the messenger departed from her.
Marih naw, “Kei Bawipa ana m’ya nu ni, na ngthua kba ka khana kya kawm,” ti se, acunüng khankhawngsä naw a ceh tak.
39 And Mary, arising, in these days, journeyed into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah, —
Acunüng, Marih tho law lü, angxita mcunga awmkia mlüh, Judah khawnu mata cit lü,
40 and entered into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
Zakhariha ima lutki naw, Elizabet a hnukset.
41 And it came to pass that, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leapt in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with Holy Spirit, —
Acunüng, Elizabet naw Marih a hnukset a sim la, a puk k'uma naca ngsün law se, Elizabet ngmüimkhya Ngcim am be law lü,
42 and lifted up her voice with loud exclamation, and said—Blessed, art thou among women, and, blessed, is the fruit of thy womb;
angsanga, “Nghnumi he avan üng na jo sen säih ve, na canak vai pi a jo sen ve!
43 And, whence, to me is, this, That the mother of my Lord should come, unto me?
Ka Bawipaa nu, ka veia na lawnak sen vaia ta ia ngjo ni?
44 For lo! as the sound of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe in my womb, leapt in exultation.
Na na hnuksetnak ka hnga üng a luh la hnasen jekyai lü ka k'uma ngsün ve.
45 And, happy, is she who hath believed, that there shall be a perfecting of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!
Jumeikia nghnumi pi a jo sen ve, isetiakyaküng a veia Bawipa naw ngthu a pyen he cun kümkawi law khai hea akya phäha kyaki” a ti.
46 And Mary said—My soul doth magnify the Lord,
Acunüng Marih naw, “Ka mlungmthin naw Bawipa mküimto ve;
47 And my spirit hath exulted upon God my saviour;
ka ngmüimkhya pi na küikyankia Pamhnama khana aktäa jekyai ve,
48 Because he hath looked upon the humbling of his handmaid; for lo! from the present time, all the generations, will pronounce me happy.
a na m'yanua hnemnak hmu lü, na süm ve; atuh üng tün lü, khyang avan naw a jo senki na ti na khai he.
49 Because he that is mighty hath done for me great things, and, holy, is his name;
Akyan säih naw ka khana akyäp säih na pawh pe ve, A ngming pi, ngcimcaiki ni;
50 And his mercy is unto generations and generations, to them who revere him;
A m’yeneinak cun angsawn täh se amät kyühki hea khana awmsaki.
51 He hath wrought strength with his arm, He hath scattered men arrogant in the intention of their heart;
“A ban am a kyannak mdang lü, khyang awhcaki he cun ami ngaikyunak am akcea a jah ngtaisak.
52 He hath deposed potentates from thrones, and uplifted the lowly;
“Ami bawingawhnak üng ngawki hea bawi he a hnemnaka jah khya lü, ami mlung hnemsaki he a jah mhlünmtai.
53 The hungry, hath he filled with good things, and, the wealthy, hath he sent empty away;
“Ami ei cawiki he, akdaw am jah kphü lü, bawimangki he, ami kut xawnga a jah tüih.
54 He hath laid hold of Israel his servant, to be mindful of mercies:
“Mi pupa he, a jah na khyütamnakpüi kümkawisak lü, a m'ya Isarel he jah kpüi khaia law ve.
55 According as he spake unto our fathers, —To Abraham, and to his seed, —Unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
A jah m'yeneinak Abraham la a ngsawn hea veia angläta süm ve” a ti. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her house.
Acunüng Marih, Elizabeta veia khya kthum awm lü a ima cit beki.
57 And, to Elizabeth, was the time fulfilled, that she should be bringing forth, —and she gave birth to a son.
Elizabet na a hmi vai kha law se, kpamicaa caki.
58 And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard, that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
A impeiloceng he la, a paca he naw, Pamhnam naw a m'yenei ni ti ksing u lü, aktäa ami jekyaipüi.
59 And it came to pass, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and were calling it, after the name of its father, Zachariah.
Acunüng pat mat küm se, naca a vun mawih vaia law u lü, a ngming a pa ngminga kba Zakhariha sui vaia ami bü.
60 And his mother, answering, said—Nay! but he shall be called, John.
Acunüng a nu naw, “Ka! Johana sui vai,” a ti.
61 And they said unto her—There is, no one from among thy kindred, who is called by this name!
Acunüng amimi naw, “Na ngsawn, na khui üngka, acunkba ngming naki u am ve khawi naw,” ami ti.
62 And they began making signs unto his father, as to what he might be wishing it to be called.
Acunüng a pa ami kut am, “A ngming ua sui üng daw khai aw?” tia ami kthäh.
63 And, asking for a small tablet, he wrote, saying—John, is his name! and they marvelled all.
Zakharih naw, a yuknak vai lungphek kthäh lü, “A ngming Johan,” ti lü yu se, ami van cäi lawki he.
64 And his mouth was opened instantly, and his tongue [loosed], and he began to speak, blessing, God.
Acunüng angxita ngthuhei law be thei lü Pamhnam mküimto lawki.
65 And fear came upon all the neighbours themselves; and, throughout all the hill-country of Judaea, were all these matters being much talked of;
Acunüng, ami van cäicah lawki he. Acuna mawng cun Judah khaw avan üng ngthang hüki.
66 and all who heard laid [them] up in their hearts, saying—What then shall his child be? for, even the hand of the Lord, was with him.
Acun ngjaki avan naw, ami mlung k'uma ta u lü, “Acuna hnasen cun ia mäih vai ni?” ami ti. Ani cun Pamhnam naw a johit am awmpüiki tia ami van naw ksingki he.
67 And, Zachariah his father, was filled with Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying: —
Johana pa Zakharih cun ngmüimkhya Ngcim am be lü,
68 Blessed, be the Lord, the God of Israel! Because he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,
“Isarel hea Bawipa Pamhnam cun mi mhlünmtai vai, a khyang he jah law si lü, jah mhlät be ve,
69 And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us, In the house of David his servant:
A m'ya Davita ngsawn he ak'hlüngtaia Küikyan bawi jah pe ve,

71 Of salvation from among our foes, and out of the hand of all them that hate us:

72 To perform mercy with our fathers, and to be mindful of his holy covenant, —

73 The oath which he sware unto Abraham our father, To grant us,

76 And, even thou, child, prophet of the Most High, shalt be called, —for thou shall march on before the Lord, to prepare his ways,

77 Giving a knowledge of salvation unto his people, by a remission of their sins.

78 Because of the yearning compassion of the mercy of our God, wherein shall visit us a day-dawn from on high, —

79 To shine on them who, in the darkness and shade of death, are sitting, to guide our feet into a way of peace.

80 And, the child, went on growing, and being strengthened in spirit, and was in the deserts, until the day he was pointed out unto Israel.
