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, —
Cawhkaw ik-oeih ningnih anglakawh ak soep ce thlang khawzah ing qee aham hlah hawh uhy,
2 according as they who from the beginning became eye-witnesses and attendants of the Word delivered them unto us,
ak cyk ca awhkaw ing dyihthing na awm nawh ce ak awi dawngawh bi ak bikhqi ing nangmih a venawh amik kqawn law patoe lawt amyihna.
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:
Cedawngawh cawhkaw ik-oeih ce akung awhkawng kamah qoe ing ak nep na nym a nai nawh, ka qee law patoe mantaw nep voei tinawh poek nyng, ak leek soeih Theolophila,
4 that, as touching the matters which thou hadst been taught by word of mouth, thou mightest obtain full knowledge, of the certainty.
cawh ni thlang ing a ni pyinaak awi ce ak nep caana nami sim hly thai.
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 sangpahrang Herod chan awh, Abijiah cakaw khawsoeih pynoet, ang mingna Zekarih ce awm nawh Elizabeth ak mingnaak Aaron cahlah ce zu na hy.
6 Now they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and righteous appointments of the Lord, blameless;
Khawsa mik huh awh thlak dyng na awm nih nawh, Bawipa ak awipeekhqi ingkaw sai hly kawi boeih boeih ce coet amak kapna sai hy nih.
7 and they had no child, inasmuch as Elizabeth was barren, and, both, had become, advanced in their days.
Cehlai Elizabeth taw ciing nawh ca am ta hy nih; ani kum awm pacawng hawh hy nih.
8 But it came to pass, as he was doing priestly service in the order of his daily course, before God,
Zekariah a poek ben ing Khawsa haiawh Khawsa bibinaak tym a pha a dawngawh,
9 according to the custom of his priesthood, it fell to his lot to offer incense, entering into the Temple of the Lord;
anih ing khawsoeihkhqi a sai khawi amyihna, Bawipa a bawkim khuiawh bawktui phum aham a tym ing pha hy.
10 and, all the throng of the people, was praying outside, at the hour of the incense offering.
Bawktui phumnaak a tym a pha awh, Khawsa ak bawkkhqi boeih boeih ce a lengna cykcah uhy.
11 And there appeared unto him a messenger of the Lord, standing on the right hand of the altar of incense;
Cawh Bawipa ak khan ceityih ce bawktui phumnaak bawkthang tang benawh dyih pehy.
12 and Zachariah was troubled when he beheld, and, fear, fell upon him.
Zekariah ing a huh awh ang ngaih kyi nawh ak kqih na awm kqih hy.
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;
Cehlai khan ceityih ing a venawh: “Zekariah, koeh kqih; nak cykcahnaak ce Khawsa ing za hawh hy. Na zu Elizabeth ing cakpa ni taak pe kawmsaw, Johan tinawh ang ming sui kawp ti.
14 And there shall be joy to thee and exulting, and, many, over his birth, shall rejoice;
Nang kaw anik zeel sak ingkaw a nik awmhly sak na awm kaw, anih a thang awh thlang khawzah zeel kawm uh,
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;
kawtih anih taw Bawipa a mik huh awh thlak bau na awm kaw. Misur tui, am awhtaw ak chang qui kawi ik-oeih qoe am aw kaw, a thang awhkawng anih taw Ciim Myihla ing be kaw.
16 And, many of the Sons of Israel, shall he turn towards the Lord their God;
Anih ing Israel thlang khawzah ce a mimah a Bawipa Khawsa venna sawi tlaih kaw.
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.
Pakhqi ak kawlung ce cakhqi benna hawi sak ham, awi amak zakhqi ce thlak dyngkhqi cyihnaak benna mang sak ham, Bawipa ham lammana thlang ak toen hamna Elijah ang myihla ingkaw ak thaawmnaak taak ing Bawipa haiawh a na cet kaw,” tina hy.
18 And Zachariah said unto the messenger—Whereby, shall I know this? for, I, am, aged, and, my wife, advanced in her days.
Zekariah ing khan ceityih a venawh, “Ve ve ikawmyihna ka simnaak kaw? Kamah awm pacawng nyng ka zu awm nucawng hawh hy,” tina hy.
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.
Khan ceityih ing a venawh, “Kai ve Khawsa haiawh ak dyi Gabriel ni, nang a venawh awi kqawn aham ingkaw vawhkaw awithang leek kqawn aham tyihna kak awm ni.
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.
Cehlai nang ing, a tym a khoek awh ak pha law hly kawi kak kqawn law ve am nak cangnaak a dawngawh, cawhkaw ik-oeih a pha hlan dy awimyh kawp ti,” tina hy.
21 And the people were expecting Zachariah, and began to marvel that he should tarry in the Temple;
Cawh thlangkhqi ingtaw a leng nakawng Zekariah ce qeh uhy, kawtih bawkim khuiawh a awm khing hy voei, ti unawh a ming ngaih kyi hy.
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.
Anih ce a law awhtaw, awi am pau thai voel hy. Awi ak kqawn kaana a kut ing a vaih a dawngawh, a mingmih ing bawkim ak khuina mik hatnaak hu pakaa hy ti uhy. Cedawngawh Zekariah ing amingmih venawh kut ing zavaih nawh awimyh na awm hy.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his public ministration were fulfilled, that he departed unto his house.
A bibinaak tym a boeih coengawh taw im na hlat hy.
24 And, after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she disguised herself five months, saying—
Cekcoengawh taw a zu Elizabeth ce phyihsu nawh hla nga khui thlang a venawh am dang hy.
25 Thus, for me, hath the Lord wrought, —in the days in which he looked upon me, to take away my reproach among men.
Elizabeth ing, “Thlang venna kang ming seetnaak thoeng hamna Bawipa ing thlang huh awh vemyihna ni sai pe hy,” tihy.
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, —
Elizabeth a pumqihnaak hlak kquk a law awh, Khawsa ing khan ceityih Gabriel ce, Kalili qam Nazareth khaw awhkaw,
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 cadil na ak awm, Josepth ak mingnaak ing zunaak aham am kang nulak cym a venna tyi hy. Cawhkaw nulak cym taw Meri ming na hy.
28 and entering in unto her, he said—Joy to thee, favoured one! The Lord, be with thee!
Khan ceityih ing a venawh, “Na zoseen hy, nang, Khawsak kaw ak tawng! Bawipa taw na venawh awm hy,” tina hy.
29 And, she, at the word, was greatly troubled, and began to deliberate, of what kind, this salutation, might be.
Ce ak awi awh Meri taw ak ngaihna kyi nawh, “ikawmyih ak awi hy voei nu,” tinawh poek qu hy.
30 And the messenger said unto her—Do not fear, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God, —
Cehlai, khan ceityih ing a venawh, “Meri, koeh kqih, Khawsa ak kawngaihnaak hu hawh hyk ti.
31 And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name, Jesus:
Phyihsu kawm tiksaw cakpa ta kawp ti.
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 taw thlak bau na awm kawmsaw, Sawsang soeih Cakpa ti kawm uh; Bawipa Khawsa ing a pa David a ngawihdoelh ce pe kawmsaw,
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 cadil lakawh kumqui dyna boei loet kawsaw, a ram ing am dyt voel tikaw,” tina hy. (aiōn g165)
34 But Mary said unto the messenger—How, shall this thing be, seeing that, a man, I know not?
Cawh Meri ing khan ceityih a venawh,” Cece ikawmyihna ang coeng naak thai kaw? Pa am ka taak ak kaa?” tina hy.
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.
Khan ceityih ing, “Ciim Myihla ce nak khan awh awm kawmsaw, sawsang soeih a saithainaak ing ni siing khoep kaw; cedawngawh thlak ciim ak thang law hly ce Khawsa Capa tinawh khy kawm uh.
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;
Na cakaw Elizabeth awm a nucawng huna phyihsu nawh; tuhawh hlak kquk law hawh hy.
37 Because no declaration from God, shall be void of power.
Kawtih Khawsak awi ak cawn boeih ing them a saithai kaana am awm kaw,” tina hy.
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.
Cawh Meri ing, “Kai taw Bawipa a tamnaa ni, nak kqawn amyihna kak khan awh awm seh nyng,” tina hy.
39 And Mary, arising, in these days, journeyed into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah, —
Cawh Meri ce tho nawh Judah qam tlang na ak awm khaw pynoet awh ce ang tawnna cet hy,
40 and entered into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
Zekariah a ipkhui na ce lut nawh Elizabeth ce voem hy.
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, —
Elizabeth ing Meri ak awi ce ang zaak awh, ak phoen khui nakaw naaca ce tat hy, cawh Elizah ce Ciim Myihla ing be hy.
42 and lifted up her voice with loud exclamation, and said—Blessed, art thou among women, and, blessed, is the fruit of thy womb;
Anih ing khawteh na: “Nang taw nukhqi boeih anglakawh thlang zoseen nu ni, nak khui awhkaw na ca awm a zoseen hy.
43 And, whence, to me is, this, That the mother of my Lord should come, unto me?
Ka Bawipa a nu, ka venna na law ve ikawmyihna hy voei?
44 For lo! as the sound of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe in my womb, leapt in exultation.
Ngai lah, Nani voemnaak awi kang zaak awhkawng kak phoen khui nakaw naaca ve a zeel aih awh tat hy.
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!
Cedawngawh a venawh Bawipa ing ak kqawn peek ce soep kaw, tinawh ak cangnaak nu taw a zoseen hy,” tina hy.
46 And Mary said—My soul doth magnify the Lord,
Meri ing: “Ka hqingnaak ing Bawipa kyihcah nawh,
47 And my spirit hath exulted upon God my saviour;
kang myihla awm ak hulkung Khawsa venawh zeel soeih hy.
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 tamnaa nu a dungvoengnaak qeen nawh; Ngaih lah, tuhawhkawng cadil boeih ing thlang zoseen nu tinawh nik khy kawm uh.
49 Because he that is mighty hath done for me great things, and, holy, is his name;
Kawtih tha ak awm soeih ing kak khan awh ik-oeih ak bau soeih sai hawh hy, ang ming awm cimcaih soeih hy.
50 And his mercy is unto generations and generations, to them who revere him;
Amah ak kqihchahkhqi cetaw cadil dyna awm qeen khqi hy.
51 He hath wrought strength with his arm, He hath scattered men arrogant in the intention of their heart;
A baan ing ak thaawmnaak ce dang sak nawh, thlak oek qu khqi taw a mik poek qunaak ing theeh khqi hy.
52 He hath deposed potentates from thrones, and uplifted the lowly;
Ukkungkhqi ce a mi ngawihdoelh awhkawng kqum sak khqi nawh dungvoeng na ak awmkhqi ce zoeksang khqi hy.
53 The hungry, hath he filled with good things, and, the wealthy, hath he sent empty away;
Ak phoen ak cawi khqi ce them leek ing phyi sak khqi nawh, boeikhqi ce kut hqawng na tyi khqi hy.
54 He hath laid hold of Israel his servant, to be mindful of mercies:
A lungqeennaak ce poek khak nawh a tyihzoeih Israelkhqi ce bawm hamna,
55 According as he spake unto our fathers, —To Abraham, and to his seed, —Unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
Abraham ingkaw a cadil a venawh qeennaak ce ta poepa hy,” tihy. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her house.
Meri ce Elizabeth a venawh hla thum tluk a awm coengawh a im na hlat hy.
57 And, to Elizabeth, was the time fulfilled, that she should be bringing forth, —and she gave birth to a son.
Naa a thangnaak tym a pha awh, Elizabeth ing cakpa ce ta hy.
58 And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard, that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
A imcengkhqi ingkaw a cakaw paqengkhqi ing Bawipa ing anih ak khan awh qeennaak soep sak hy tice a ming sim awh, zeel pyi uhy.
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.
Ak kqeet nyn awh chahhui qeet aham naaca ce khyn hy nih, cawh a pa ang ming Zekariah ce sui aham cai hlai uhy,
60 And his mother, answering, said—Nay! but he shall be called, John.
a nu ing, “Amni! Johan tinawh ni sui aham awm hy, tinak khqi hy.
61 And they said unto her—There is, no one from among thy kindred, who is called by this name!
Cekkhqi ing, “Cemyih ang ming ce na cakaw paqeng ak khuiawh am awm man hy,” tina uhy.
62 And they began making signs unto his father, as to what he might be wishing it to be called.
Naa ang ming ce ikawmyihna nu a sui law kaw ti unawh, a pa a venawh a mi kut vaih unawh doet uhy.
63 And, asking for a small tablet, he wrote, saying—John, is his name! and they marvelled all.
Anih ing caa qeenaak aham calung ce thoeh nawh, “Ang ming taw Johan,” tinawh qee saw thlang boeih a mik kawpoek kyi hy.
64 And his mouth was opened instantly, and his tongue [loosed], and he began to speak, blessing, God.
Cawh am kha ce awng qu pahoei nawh am lai awm zai law pahoei hy, awi kqawn nawh Khawsa ce kyihcah hy.
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;
A imcengkhqi taw amik kawpoek kyi hy. Judah qam khawmcung pum awh thlangkhqi ing cawhkaw ce kqawn uhy.
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.
Bawipa a kut ce anih ak khan awh a awm a dawngawh, ce ak awi ak zakhqi boeih ing amik kawpoek kyi nawh, “Cawhtaw cawhkaw naasen ce ikawmyihna nu a awm law kaw?” ti uhy.
67 And, Zachariah his father, was filled with Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying: —
A pa Zekariah ce Ciim Myihla ing be nawh awi kqawn hy:
68 Blessed, be the Lord, the God of Israel! Because he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,
“Israelkhqi a Khawsa, Bawipa venawh thangleeknaak awm seh nyng, kawtih ak thlangkhqi ce hqip nawh tlan hawh hy.
69 And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us, In the house of David his servant:
A tyihzawih David a ipkhui awh, nangmih thaawngnaak kii pynoet cawn sak hawh hy.
(Syn awh amah a tawngha ciimkhqi venawh anak kqawn amyihna), (aiōn g165)
71 Of salvation from among our foes, and out of the hand of all them that hate us:
Qaalkhqi ven awhkawng thaawngnaak, ningnih anik sawhnaakkhqi qam ak khui awhkawng
72 To perform mercy with our fathers, and to be mindful of his holy covenant, —
pakdamkhqi venawh am qeennaak dang sak aham ingkaw amah a paipi ciim a sai ce sim poe aham,
73 The oath which he sware unto Abraham our father, To grant us,
ni pa Abraham a venawh awi a na kam ce:
74 without fear, from the hand of enemies rescued, to be rendering divine service unto him,
Ni qaalkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni loet sak aham ingkaw kqih kaana amah a bi ce ni binaak thai aham
75 in lovingkindness and righteousness before him, all our days.
ni hqing khui amah a haiawh ni ciim ingkaw ni dyngnaak 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,
Ce, nang ka ca, sawsang soeih a tawngha pynoet tinawh nik khy kawm uh; kawtih Bawipa haiawh a lam qoek abah peek aham na ceh hly awh;
77 Giving a knowledge of salvation unto his people, by a remission of their sins.
Ni Khawsa a thawlh qeennaak ak caming nak thlangkhqi venawh thaawngnaak sim sak aham,
78 Because of the yearning compassion of the mercy of our God, wherein shall visit us a day-dawn from on high, —
kawtih nangmih a Khawsa am qeennaak ak caming, khawk khan nakawng ningnih a venawh,
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.
Naasen ce bau law hqui nawh Myihla ben awh ak tha awm hqui hy; Israelkhqi venawh ang dang hlan dy kqawng na ce awm hy.
