< 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, —
Mongnook Thiophilas: Seng laktung ni Rangte mootkaat angta loong ah mina hantek ih lom raangthiin rumta.
2 according as they who from the beginning became eye-witnesses and attendants of the Word delivered them unto us,
Neng ih seng suh hephang di tumjih tup rumta loong ah nyia ruurang tumbaatte loong ih mamet baat tahe erah jun ih raang rumta.
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:
Erah raang ih, Jatwah Thiophilas, ngah ih erah loong tiit ah hephang dowa dook ih naririh ih jatjah halang, eno samthun tang, ngah ih uh naririh ih le nah phanlan raangthiin angbah ese ang ah eah.
4 that, as touching the matters which thou hadst been taught by word of mouth, thou mightest obtain full knowledge, of the certainty.
Ngah arah reelang ah langla an ih amiisak tiit nyootsoottu loong ah ejat toom et uh ih raangthiin hang.
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.
Judia ni Hirod luungwang angtokdi, romwah wasiit heh men ah Jekaria, Abija lilih heh romwah esiit angta. Heh minuh men ah Elijabet angta; heh uh esiit romwah jaatang nawa angta.
6 Now they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and righteous appointments of the Lord, blameless;
Nengnyi Rangte miksok di toongtang lam ih songtong nyuuta Teesu Hootthe jengdang loong ah naririh et kap nyu ano ah.
7 and they had no child, inasmuch as Elizabeth was barren, and, both, had become, advanced in their days.
Elijabet ah samuh nuh ang tungthoi nengnyi sah uh tajeeta, heh miwah Jekaria nyia heh ah ekuh ekaang ih nyuuta.
8 But it came to pass, as he was doing priestly service in the order of his daily course, before God,
Heh romhoonsa thok kohaano saasiit Jekaria ah Rangteenok ni reeraang paknaata.
9 according to the custom of his priesthood, it fell to his lot to offer incense, entering into the Temple of the Lord;
Romwah loong Hootthe jun ih Rangteenok ni phontumkaang tingtak suh jongteh tootoon rum adi Jekaria men chapta. Eno heh Teesu rangsoom nokmongni wangta
10 and, all the throng of the people, was praying outside, at the hour of the incense offering.
phontumkaang tingtak tok ah chang kano miloong ah taakkhuung ni rangsoom rumta.
11 And there appeared unto him a messenger of the Lord, standing on the right hand of the altar of incense;
Erah di heh reeni Rangsah ah dongchap taha, jaawako romthong phontumkaang tingtakta rum adi ah.
12 and Zachariah was troubled when he beheld, and, fear, fell upon him.
Jekaria ih erah japtup ano paatjaata eno echo nep eta.
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;
Enoothong Rangsah rah ih heh suh liita, “Nakcho uh, Jekaria! Rangte ih an rangsoom chaat eta, an minuh suh no miwasah an raangtaan ih koh ah. An ih heh men ah Joon et men theng.
14 And there shall be joy to thee and exulting, and, many, over his birth, shall rejoice;
Heh tupsa doh tumthan tenroonjih ang ah an raangtaan ih ah, erah damdoh wahoh loong uh tumthan ih tenroon ang ah!
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;
Joon ah Teesu miksok doh elong mina esiit ang ah. Heh ih kham naktoom mok jok ah. Heh phang doktup damdam heh ah Esa Chiiala pan ang ah,
16 And, many of the Sons of Israel, shall he turn towards the Lord their God;
eno heh ih Ijirel mina loong neng Teesu Rangte ko ih ngaak thoksiit ah.
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.
Khowah Elija likhiik ih heh uh Teesu nganah chaan aphaan lam ih ban kah ah. Heh ih hewah heh sah loong we jun songtong thuk rum ah; heh ih Rangte jeng daante loong asuh kateng lampo jatthuk ah; heh ih Teesu mina loong heh raangtaan ih ban khookham thiin ah.”
18 And Zachariah said unto the messenger—Whereby, shall I know this? for, I, am, aged, and, my wife, advanced in her days.
Jekaria ih Rangsah asuh liita, “Emah mok ang abah ngah ih mamet jat ang? Ngah ah teekaang nih nga minuh uh wikuh ih hoonla nih.”
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.
“Ngah Gabrel,” Rangsah rah ih ngaakbaatta. “Ngah Rangte pandi chaplang, heh ih ngah an suh arah Ruurang Ese ah baat suh kaat thuk halang.
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.
Enoothong an ih nga jengkhaap ah tahanpi ko, heh rangwuung thok ha doh amiisak ih langte lek ang kano ah. Nga jengkhaap lahanpi thoidoh an tami jengko ang uh; ngah ih an damdi kakham hala ah amiisak maang langlang an suusu ih tong uh.”
21 And the people were expecting Zachariah, and began to marvel that he should tarry in the Temple;
Erah tok adi miloong ah ih Jekaria ah ban sok ruh ih rum ano Rangteenok ni saatang tumjih thaam eha ih paatja rumta.
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.
Jekaria dokkhoomha no neng damdi heh tami waanta, eno neng ih jat rumta Rangteenok nok ni mot amang hetupta eah. Khaapsiit uh lami dongjeng thoi heh lakthaak pamaak ih waan rumta.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his public ministration were fulfilled, that he departed unto his house.
Heh Rangteenok ni rangsoom phansiit saapoot ah thoon ano, Jekaria heh nok ni ngaakwangta.
24 And, after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she disguised herself five months, saying—
Eno rekam ritdi heh minuh Elijabet rah heh sah dong wokta, eno laabanga heh nok nawa tadok khoomta.
25 Thus, for me, hath the Lord wrought, —in the days in which he looked upon me, to take away my reproach among men.
Heh ih liita, “Nga Teesu ih hethoondi kok chosok halang. Heh ih ngah noksong dung nah rakri theng taat angtang rah toonhaat ha!”
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, —
Elijaabet sah la arok wok adi Rangte ih Rangsah Gabrel Galili samnuh Najaret hadaang adi daapkaatta.
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;
Heh ih jaalah esiit suh tiitkhaap baatjih angta, jaalah ah Dewid luungwang sutoom Josep damdi nook suh kakhat muicho angta. Heh men ah Meeri angta.
28 and entering in unto her, he said—Joy to thee, favoured one! The Lord, be with thee!
Rangsah ah ra haano heh suh baatta, “Khooteng toomtong uh! Teesu an damdi heh ih romseetam koh halu!”
29 And, she, at the word, was greatly troubled, and began to deliberate, of what kind, this salutation, might be.
Meeri ih Rangsah jeng ah chaat ano rapne ih mongsaamta, eno erah jengkhaap ah tumjih suh liita ih paatjaata.
30 And the messenger said unto her—Do not fear, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God, —
Rangsah ih liita, “Nakcho uh, Meeri; Rangte ih an minchan ih halu.
31 And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name, Jesus:
An sah wokte anglu eno miwasah et tup uh, heh men ah Jisu et men uh.
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, —
Heh ah elong angte eno heh suh Elong Echoong ni tongte Rangte sah et li ah. Teesu Rangte ih heh ah luungwang et hoon ah, heh te Dewid likhiik ah,
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob, unto the ages, and, of his kingdom, there shall be, no end. (aiōn )
eno heh ah Jaakob sutoom dowa rootang raang ih luungwang ang ah; Heh hasong ah babah uh lathoon thang angte!” (aiōn )
34 But Mary said unto the messenger—How, shall this thing be, seeing that, a man, I know not?
Meeri ih Rangsah asuh liita, “Ngah roibaamuh jaalah boh ah. Erah mamah maami ang ah?”
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.
Rangsah ih ngaakbaatta, “Esa Chiiala an sak nah raaha, eno Rangte chaan ah ansak nah tong raaha. Erah raangtaan ih esa noodek asuh Rangte Sah et poon ah.
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;
An sano Elijabet ah taat samthun thaak uh. Heh suh samuh nuh ih kaliitan ah, amadi heh sah la arok angla, wikuh ih hoon adi nep ah.
37 Because no declaration from God, shall be void of power.
Rangte lajen reejih tumjih uh tajeeka.”
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.
“Ngah ah Teesu laksuh,” Meeri ih liita; “An ih baattu jun ih toom ang raaha nga sak nah ah.” Eno Rangsah ah mat khoomta.
39 And Mary, arising, in these days, journeyed into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah, —
Erah lilih Meeri phangla ih kong akaan deek Judia ko nah kaat suh dokchapta.
40 and entered into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
Heh Jekaria nok ni nop kah ano Elijabet suh jengseeraata.
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, —
Elijabet ih Meeri jengseeraata ah japchaat damdam, heh mong nawa noodek ah jaapmota. Elijabet ah Esa Chiiala pan angta
42 and lifted up her voice with loud exclamation, and said—Blessed, art thou among women, and, blessed, is the fruit of thy womb;
eno erongwah ih jengta, “An ah minuh loong dungni romseetam choh cho mina, erah dam ih an ih tupte noodek asuh uh romseetam choh cho!
43 And, whence, to me is, this, That the mother of my Lord should come, unto me?
Arathan elong ah nga taang ni mame ang raak kohala, Teesu nuh anep nga jiinni jen chomui jih ah?
44 For lo! as the sound of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe in my womb, leapt in exultation.
An jengseera ah japchaat damdam, nga mong nawa noodek ah nep roon ano wookla.
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!
Teesu jengkhaap ah ansak nah amiisak ih ang raaha ih hanpi thoidoh an tumthan ih tenroonte anglu!”
46 And Mary said—My soul doth magnify the Lord,
Meeri ih liita, “Nga ten ih Teesu ah phoong ha;
47 And my spirit hath exulted upon God my saviour;
nga pangte Rangte suh nga la roonla,
48 Because he hath looked upon the humbling of his handmaid; for lo! from the present time, all the generations, will pronounce me happy.
tumeah heh ih ngah, ehin laksuh ah dokthun thoi ah! aadowa ih miloong ah ih ngah suh tenroon mina et poonhang,
49 Because he that is mighty hath done for me great things, and, holy, is his name;
tumeah Chaan apaan Rangte ih nga raang ih elongthoon moot ah reekot thoih ah. Heh men ah Esa;
50 And his mercy is unto generations and generations, to them who revere him;
roosiit tokkhodi roosiit Heh ih heh soomtuute asuh minchan noisok ha.
51 He hath wrought strength with his arm, He hath scattered men arrogant in the intention of their heart;
Heh ih chaan apaan pan lak ah janghaat ano engaam ete loong nyia neng tenthun mongtham ah phaang thukla.
52 He hath deposed potentates from thrones, and uplifted the lowly;
Heh ih chaan apaan luungwang loong ah neng tongtheng nawa dattong thuk ano; ehin loong ah toonjoh ah.
53 The hungry, hath he filled with good things, and, the wealthy, hath he sent empty away;
Heh ih ramtekte suh phaksat ese koha, eno changteng loong ah lak huung daap haat ha.
54 He hath laid hold of Israel his servant, to be mindful of mercies:
Heh ih sengte sengwah suh kakham thiinta rah reeta, eno heh laksuh Ijirel ah chosok ra hala.
55 According as he spake unto our fathers, —To Abraham, and to his seed, —Unto times age-abiding. (aiōn )
Heh ih sengte Abraham nyia heh sutoom satoom loong asuh, rootang raang ih minchan noisokta ah samthunha!” (aiōn )
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her house.
Meeri ah Elijabet damdi laajom roongtongta eno heh nok ni ngaakwangta.
57 And, to Elizabeth, was the time fulfilled, that she should be bringing forth, —and she gave birth to a son.
Elijabet sah tup rangwuung thok haano, heh sah ah miwasah ih tupta.
58 And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard, that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
Hekhuung hetok nyia heh joonte sano loong ah ih chaat rum ano Teesu suh tumthan ih seela ih phoong rumta, eno neng ah heh damdi rapne ih roong roon rumta.
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.
Noodek ah saasinet ang adi, neng ah khoopkhan banlam hoon suh ra taha, eno heh men ah Jekaria, heh lilih et men theng ih liirumta.
60 And his mother, answering, said—Nay! but he shall be called, John.
Enoothong heh nuh ih liita, “Tah angka! Heh men Joon et men theng.”
61 And they said unto her—There is, no one from among thy kindred, who is called by this name!
Eno neng ih heh nuh asuh baat rumta, “Enoothong erah bah ante anwah men tah angka!”
62 And they began making signs unto his father, as to what he might be wishing it to be called.
Eno neng ih heh wah suh neng tokmoot damdi cheng rumta, an ih mamet men ih doh se ah ih thunhu.
63 And, asking for a small tablet, he wrote, saying—John, is his name! and they marvelled all.
Jekaria ih eraangtheng jonglo ah suh ano, raangta, “heh men ah Joon.” Eno mirep rapne ih paatja rumta!
64 And his mouth was opened instantly, and his tongue [loosed], and he began to speak, blessing, God.
Erah tok adi Jekaria we mi dongjengta, eno Rangte rang ah phoongta.
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;
Hekhuung hetok joonte loong ah neng cho dongta, eno erah ruurang ah Judia hah kong akaan noongrep ni thok ruurang kata.
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.
Warep ih erah tiit ah chaat rum ano samthun rumleh cheng et rumta, “Arah noodek ah mamah ih dong hakte angla?” Tumeah heh sak ni Teesu chaan aphaan ah samkhikhih angta.
67 And, Zachariah his father, was filled with Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying: —
Joon wah Jekaria ah Esa Chiiala pan angta, eno heh ih Rangte jengkhaap ah baatta:
68 Blessed, be the Lord, the God of Israel! Because he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,
“Seng Teesu ah phoong ih Ijirel Rangte rah ah! Heh mina loong pang raangtaan ih ra taha eno neng ah puipangta.
69 And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us, In the house of David his servant:
Heh ih seng suh chaan aphaan pan Khopiipangte kojah hali, Heh laksuh Dewid sutoom dowa ah.
70 According as he hath spoken by mouth of his holy ancient prophets, — (aiōn )
Heh ih teewadi esa khowah loong damdi thoom hoonta (aiōn )
71 Of salvation from among our foes, and out of the hand of all them that hate us:
Heh ih seng piiara nawa panghe, seng miksukte hang achaan nawa jen toonpang raang ih ah.
72 To perform mercy with our fathers, and to be mindful of his holy covenant, —
Heh ih liita sengte sengwah loong ah heh ih tenthet et ah eno heh ih esa nuumiijeng ah dokthun ah.
73 The oath which he sware unto Abraham our father, To grant us,
Sengte sengwah Abraham, suh kakhamta Heh ih seng piiara loong nawa pang et he eno seng ah heh mootkaat ah lacho thang ih moh thuk he,
74 without fear, from the hand of enemies rescued, to be rendering divine service unto him,
75 in lovingkindness and righteousness before him, all our days.
eno ba seng ah heh ngah nah esa nyi epun jen ang ih seng roidong tang ih ah.
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,
“Nga sah, an ah, Elong Echoong Rangte khowah ih poonho. An Teesu nganah kah uno heh raangtaan ih lam ban tan kah uh,
77 Giving a knowledge of salvation unto his people, by a remission of their sins.
heh mina loong suh neng rangdah loong ah biin anaan rum ano neng khopui tiit ah baat suh ah.
78 Because of the yearning compassion of the mercy of our God, wherein shall visit us a day-dawn from on high, —
Seng Rangte ah minchan nyia tenthet Rangte. Heh ih khopiiroidong ah rangsa phaakla likhiik ih phaak thukla,
79 To shine on them who, in the darkness and shade of death, are sitting, to guide our feet into a way of peace.
eno rang nawa ih warep kaangtook ah laamang nyia etek lampo ni tongte loong rah ah, seng khooteng lampo nah khoom thuk raangtaan ih ah.”
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.
Noodek ah hansi nyia chiiala ni rongtangtang ih hakta. Ijirel noksong damdi chomui suh rangwuung maang thokthok Joon ah woma mong ni tongta.
