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, —
Mamih taengah aka soep tangtae hno kah cilol te muep a thuep tih boelrhai vaengah,
2 according as they who from the beginning became eye-witnesses and attendants of the Word delivered them unto us,
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, even to me, having closely traced from the outset all things accurately, to write unto thee, in order, most excellent Theophilus:
kai khaw khaeh khaeh boeih ka thuep koep tih hlangcong Theophilu nang taengah daek ham tluep ka poek.
4 that, as touching the matters which thou hadst been taught by word of mouth, thou mightest obtain full knowledge, of the certainty.
Te daengah ni hiluepnah ol loh n'thuituen te khaw na ming eh.
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.
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 Now they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and righteous appointments 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, inasmuch as Elizabeth was barren, and, both, had become, advanced in their days.
Tedae Elizabeth tah cakol la om tih camoe a om kolla a kum khaw patong la bok om rhoi coeng.
8 But it came to pass, as he was doing priestly service in the order of his daily course, before God,
Pathen hmaiah a khosoih vaengkah bangla anih rhoihui te aitlaeng loh a pha.
9 according to the custom of his priesthood, it fell to his lot to offer incense, entering into the Temple of the Lord;
Khosoih kah khosing bangla, Boeipa kah bawkim khuiah kun tih hmueihphum ham a yo.
10 and, all the throng of the people, was praying outside, at the hour of the incense offering.
Bo-ul tue vaengah pilnam khuikah aka om rhaengpuei boeih khaw poeng ah thangthui uh.
11 And there appeared unto him a messenger of the Lord, standing on the right hand 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 when he beheld, and, fear, fell upon him.
Zekhariah loh a thuen doela a sawt dongah rhihnah loh anih a tlak thil.
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;
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 there shall be joy to thee and exulting, and, many, over his birth, shall rejoice;
Nang ham omngaihnah neh kohoenah la om vetih anih kah rhuirhong dongah boeih omngaih uh ni.
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;
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, shall he turn towards the Lord their God;
Israel ca rhoek te a Boeipa Pathen taengla muep a mael puei ni.
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.
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 unto the messenger—Whereby, shall I know this? for, I, am, aged, and, my wife, advanced in her days.
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 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.
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 in my words, —the which shall be fulfilled for 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 expecting Zachariah, and began to marvel that he should tarry in the Temple;
Te vaengah Zekhariah te aka lamso pilnam a om dongah bawkim khuiah a di te a ngaihmang uh.
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.
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 public ministration were fulfilled, that he departed unto his house.
Amah kah thothueng khohnin te a cup la a om phoeiah tah amah im la cet.
24 And, after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she disguised herself five months, saying—
Te khohnin phoeiah a yuu Elizabeth te vawn tih amah khaw hla nga thuh uh.
25 Thus, for me, hath the Lord wrought, —in the days in which he looked upon 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 Now, in the sixth month, was the messenger Gabriel sent forth from God, into a city of Galilee, the name of which was Nazareth, —
Hla rhuk dongah Pathen taeng lamkah puencawn Gabriel te Galilee khopuei, a ming ah Nazareth la a tueih.
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;
David imkhui kah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Joseph ham te oila a bae pah. Oila ming tah Mary ni.
28 and entering in unto her, he said—Joy to thee, favoured one! The Lord, be 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, at the word, was greatly troubled, and began to deliberate, of what kind, this salutation, might be.
Tedae Mary te tekah olka dongah konglong ngaihit la om tih te toidalnah loh metla a om eh tila a poek.
30 And the messenger said unto her—Do not fear, Mary, for thou hast found favour 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 bring forth 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 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, —
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, unto the ages, 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 But Mary said unto the messenger—How, shall this thing be, seeing that, a man, I know not?
Te vaengah Mary loh puencawn taengah, “Hekah he metlam a om eh? tongpa khaw ka ming moenih,” a ti nah.
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.
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, even she, hath conceived a son in, her old-age; —and, this month, is, the sixth, to her, the so-called barren one;
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 Because no declaration from God, shall be void of power.
Pathen kah olka boeih long tah a tloel nah moenih,” a ti nah.
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.
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, arising, in these days, journeyed 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 entered into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
Zekhariah im khuiah kun tih Elizabeth te a voek.
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, —
Mary kah toidalnah te Elizabeth loh a yaak vaengah a bung khuikah cahni te soipet tih Elizabeth khaw Mueihla Cim neh baetawt.
42 and lifted up her voice with loud exclamation, 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, to me is, this, That the mother of my Lord should come, unto me?
Kai aih he metlam nim, ka boeipa kah a manu kai taengla ha pawk tarha he?
44 For lo! as the sound of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe in my womb, leapt 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, happy, is she who hath believed, that there shall be a perfecting of the things which have been spoken to 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 doth magnify the Lord,
Mary long khaw, “Boeipa te ka hinglu loh a oep.
47 And my spirit hath exulted upon God my saviour;
Ka mueihla tah ka khangkung Pathen dongah hlampan coeng.
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 salnu mathoe he a paelki thil coeng dongah tahae lamkah tah cadil boeih loh kai ng'uem uh pawn ni.
49 Because he that is mighty hath done for me great things, and, holy, is his name;
Kai taengah thaom tloe la a saii dongah, a ming tah cim pai saeh.
50 And his mercy is unto generations and generations, to them who revere him;
A rhennah tah amah aka rhih rhoek kah cadil cahma ham ni.
51 He hath wrought strength with his arm, He hath scattered men arrogant in the intention of their heart;
A ban neh a thaomnah a saii, a thinko kopoek ah buhueng aka pom te a taekyak.
52 He hath deposed potentates from thrones, and uplifted the lowly;
Mangpa rhoek a ngolkhoel lamloh a hlak tih, tlayae rhoek te a pomsang.
53 The hungry, hath he filled with good things, and, the wealthy, hath he sent empty away;
Bungpong rhoek te hno then neh a hah sak tih, khuehtawn rhoek a tlongtlai la a tueih.
54 He hath laid hold of Israel his servant, to be mindful of mercies:
A rhennah te poek sak hamla a ca Israel te a bom.
55 According as he spake unto our fathers, —To Abraham, and to his seed, —Unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
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 unto her house.
Mary te Elizabeth neh hla thum tluk hmaih a naeh phoeiah amah im la bal.
57 And, to Elizabeth, was the time fulfilled, that she should be bringing forth, —and she gave birth to a son.
Elizabeth te a om tue a pha coeng tih capa a cun.
58 And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard, that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they were rejoicing 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, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and were calling it, after the name of its father, Zachariah.
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—Nay! 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 unto her—There is, no one from among thy kindred, who 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 began making signs unto his father, as to what he might be wishing it to be called.
Camoe metla khue a ngaih poek tila a napa te a yavaih uh.
63 And, asking for a small tablet, he wrote, saying—John, is his name! and they marvelled all.
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 instantly, and his tongue [loosed], and he began to speak, 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 upon all the neighbours themselves; and, throughout all the hill-country of Judaea, were all these matters being much talked of;
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 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.
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 Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying: —
A napa Zekhariah tah Mueihla Cim neh baetawt.
68 Blessed, be the Lord, the God of Israel! Because he hath visited and wrought redemption for 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 Of salvation from among our foes, and out of the hand of all them that hate us:
Mamih kah rhal rhoek neh mamih aka hmuhuet rhoek boeih kut lamkah khangnah,
72 To perform mercy with our fathers, and to be mindful of his holy covenant, —
a pa rhoek taengah rhennah tueng sak ham neh a paipi ciim te poek sak ham,
73 The oath which he sware unto Abraham our father, To grant us,
a pa Abraham taengah olhlo neh a toemngam te mamih paek ham,
74 without fear, from the hand of enemies rescued, to be rendering divine service unto him,
amah taengah thothueng hamla rhal kut lamloh hoel n'hlawt coeng.
75 in lovingkindness and righteousness before him, all our days.
Mamih kah khohnin rhoek boeih te amah hmaiah duengnah neh cimcaihnah ham ni.
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,
Te phoeiah, camoe, nang tah Khohni tonghma la n'khue vetih a longpuei rhoekbah ham Boeipa hmaiah na lamhma ni.
77 Giving a knowledge of salvation unto his people, by a remission of their sins.
Amih kah tholh khodawkngainah rhangneh a pilnam taengah khangnah mingnah a paek ni.
78 Because of the yearning compassion of the mercy of our God, wherein shall visit us a day-dawn from on high, —
Mamih Pathen kah rhehnah om. Te nen te a sang lamkah khothoeng loh mamih n'hip.
79 To shine on them who, in the darkness and shade of death, are sitting, to guide our feet into a 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, went on growing, and being strengthened in spirit, and was in the deserts, until the day he was pointed out unto Israel.
Camoe tah rhoeng tih mueihla ah khaw rhaang. Te dongah Israel taengah a phoenah khohnin duela khosoek ah om.
