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, —
Na, i te mea he tokomaha kua anga ki te whakakaupapa i te korero o nga mea kua whakatutukitia nei i waenganui i a tatou,
2 according as they who from the beginning became eye-witnesses and attendants of the Word delivered them unto us,
He mea whakarite ki nga mea i homai ki a tatou e te hunga i kite a kanohi, i mahi hoki i te kupu,
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:
Koia ahau i mahara ai, i te mea kua ata whakatakina iho e ahau nga mea katoa i te timatanga mai, kia tuhituhi whakatepe atu ki a koe, e Tiopira, e te tangata pai rawa,
4 that, as touching the matters which thou hadst been taught by word of mouth, thou mightest obtain full knowledge, of the certainty.
Kia matau ai koe ki te tuturutanga o nga mea i whakaakona ai koe.
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.
No mua, no nga ra o Herora kingi o Huria, tera tohunga, ko Hakaraia te ingoa, no te wiki o Apiata: ko tana wahine hoki no nga tamahine a Arona, ko Erihapeti tona ingoa.
6 Now they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and righteous appointments of the Lord, blameless;
He hunga tika hoki raua i te aroaro o te Atua, kahore he he o ta raua haere i runga i nga kupu ako katoa, i nga tikanga a te Ariki.
7 and they had no child, inasmuch as Elizabeth was barren, and, both, had become, advanced in their days.
Na kahore a raua tamariki, he pakoko hoki a Erihapeti, a i taua wa kua maha haere rawa nga ra o tetahi, o tetahi.
8 But it came to pass, as he was doing priestly service in the order of his daily course, before God,
Na tupono tonu, i a ia e mahi ana i a te tohunga mahi i te aroaro o te Atua i te takanga o tana wiki,
9 according to the custom of his priesthood, it fell to his lot to offer incense, entering into the Temple of the Lord;
E whakarite ana i nga ritenga o nga tohunga, ka taka mana te haere ki roto ki te whare tapu o te Ariki, tahu ai te whakakakara.
10 and, all the throng of the people, was praying outside, at the hour of the incense offering.
Na i waho te nuinga katoa o te iwi e inoi ana i te haora whakakakara.
11 And there appeared unto him a messenger of the Lord, standing on the right hand of the altar of incense;
A ka puta mai ki a ia tetahi anahera a te Ariki e tu ana i te taha matau o te aata whakakakara.
12 and Zachariah was troubled when he beheld, and, fear, fell upon him.
Na ka ohorere a Hakaraia i tona kitenga i a ia, a tau ana te wehi ki a ia.
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;
Otira ka mea te anahera ki a ia, kaua e wehi, e Hakaraia: kua rangona hoki tau inoi, a ka whanau i tau wahine, i a Erihapeti, he tama mau, a ka huaina e koe tona ingoa ko Hoani.
14 And there shall be joy to thee and exulting, and, many, over his birth, shall rejoice;
A ka whiwhi koe i te hari me te harakoa; a he tokomaha hoki e hari i tona whanautanga.
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;
E nui hoki ia i te aroaro o te Atua: e kore ia e inu i te waina, i te wai whakahaurangi ranei: a ka ki ia i te Wairua Tapu, mai ano o te kopu o tona whaea.
16 And, many of the Sons of Israel, shall he turn towards the Lord their God;
He tokomaha ano hoki o nga tama a Iharaira ka whakatahuritia e ia ki te Ariki, ki to ratou Atua.
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.
Ka haere ano ia i tona aroaro i runga i te wairua, i te mana, o Iraia, hei whakatahuri i nga ngakau o nga matua ki nga tamariki, i te hunga whakatuturi ki nga whakaaro o te hunga tika; hei whakarite mo te Ariki i tetahi iwi i ata taka mona.
18 And Zachariah said unto the messenger—Whereby, shall I know this? for, I, am, aged, and, my wife, advanced in her days.
Na ko te meatanga a Hakaraia ki te anahera, Ma te aha ka matau ai ahau ki tenei mea? he koroheke nei hoki ahau, kua maha haere hoki nga ra o taku wahine.
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.
Na ka whakahoki te anahera, ka mea ki a ia, Ko Kapariera ahau, kei te aroaro o te Atua toku turanga; kua tonoa mai hoki ahau ki te korero ki a koe, ki te whakapuaki i tenei rongo pai ki a koe.
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.
Nana, ka noho puku koe, kahore hoki e puta te korero i a koe, kia tae mai ra ano te ra e meatia ai enei mea, mou kihai i whakapono ki aku kupu, ka mana nei i te wa e rite ai.
21 And the people were expecting Zachariah, and began to marvel that he should tarry in the Temple;
A tatari tonu te iwi ki a Hakaraia, me te miharo ano i a ia e whakaroa ana i roto i te whare tapu.
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.
A, i tona putanga mai ki waho, kihai ia i ahei te korero ki a ratou: a ka mohio ratou kua kite ia i tetahi putanga atua ki a ia i roto i te whare tapu: hono tonu tana waitohu ki a ratou me te wahangu ano.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his public ministration were fulfilled, that he departed unto his house.
A ka rite nga ra hei minitatanga mana, ka hoki ia ki tona whare.
24 And, after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she disguised herself five months, saying—
Na muri iho i aua ra ka hapu tana wahine, a Erihapeti, a e rima nga marama i whakangaro ai i a ia, a i mea ia,
25 Thus, for me, hath the Lord wrought, —in the days in which he looked upon me, to take away my reproach among men.
Ko ta te Ariki tenei i mea ai ki ahau, i nga ra i titiro mai ai ia, ki te whakamutu i toku tawainga i roto i nga tangata.
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, —
Na i te ono o nga marama ka tonoa a Kapariera, te anahera, e te Atua ki tetahi pa o Kariri, ko Nahareta te ingoa,
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;
Ki tetahi wahine i taumautia ma tetahi tangata, ko Hohepa te ingoa, no te whare o Rawiri; ko te ingoa o te wahine ko Meri.
28 and entering in unto her, he said—Joy to thee, favoured one! The Lord, be with thee!
Na, ko tona haerenga ki roto, ki a ia, ka mea, Tena koe, e te wahine kua manakohia nei; kei a koe te Ariki: ko koe te manaakitia i roto i nga wahine.
29 And, she, at the word, was greatly troubled, and began to deliberate, of what kind, this salutation, might be.
Otira he nui tona oho ki taua kupu, ka whakaaroaro ki te tikanga o tenei ohatanga.
30 And the messenger said unto her—Do not fear, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God, —
Na ka mea te anahera ki a ia, Kei wehi koe, e Meri; kua paingia hoki koe e te Atua.
31 And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name, Jesus:
Nana, tera koe e hapu, ka whanau he tama, a ka huaina e koe tona ingoa ko Ihu.
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, —
Ka nui ia, ka kiia hoki ko te Tama a te Runga Rawa: a ka hoatu ki a ia e te Ariki, e te Atua, te torona o Rawiri, o tona papa.
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob, unto the ages, and, of his kingdom, there shall be, no end. (aiōn g165)
Hei kingi hoki ia mo te whare o Hakopa ake ake; e kore ano e mutu tona rangatiratanga. (aiōn g165)
34 But Mary said unto the messenger—How, shall this thing be, seeing that, a man, I know not?
Na ka mea a Meri ki te anahera, E peheatia tenei, kahore nei hoki ahau e mohio ki te tane?
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.
Na ka whakahoki te anahera, ka mea ki a ia, Ka tae te Wairua Tapu ki runga ki a koe, ka taumarumaru iho te kaha o te Runga Rawa ki runga ki a koe: no reira hoki ka kiia te mea e whanau mai he tapu, ko te Tama a te Atua.
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, ko tou whanaunga, ko Erihapeti, kua hapu hoki ia i tona ruruhitanga, he tama; a koe te ono tenei o nga marama ki a ia, i kiia ra he pakoko.
37 Because no declaration from God, shall be void of power.
Kahore hoki he kupu i ahu mai i te Atua i kore e whai mana.
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.
Ano ra ko Meri, Ina, te pononga a te Ariki; kia peratia ahau me tau i korero ai. A mawehe atu ana te anahera i a ia.
39 And Mary, arising, in these days, journeyed into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah, —
Na ka whakatika a Meri i aua ra, a haere kaika ana ki te whenua pukepuke ki tetahi pa o Hura;
40 and entered into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
A ka tomo ki te whare o Hakaraia, ka oha ki a Erihapeti.
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, —
A, no te rongonga o Erihapeti i te oha a Meri, ka koiri te tamaiti i roto i tona kopu; na kua ki a Erihapeti i te Wairua Tapu:
42 and lifted up her voice with loud exclamation, and said—Blessed, art thou among women, and, blessed, is the fruit of thy womb;
A he nui tona reo ki te karanga, ka mea, Ka manaakitia koe i roto i nga wahine, ka manaakitia ano te hua o tou kopu.
43 And, whence, to me is, this, That the mother of my Lord should come, unto me?
No hea hoki tenei ki ahau, kia haere mai te whaea o toku Ariki ki ahau?
44 For lo! as the sound of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe in my womb, leapt in exultation.
Na, pa kau mai te reo o tau oha ki oku taringa, ka oho te tamaiti i toku kopu i te hari.
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!
Ka koa ano ia e whakapono ana: ka whakaritea hoki nga mea i korerotia ki a ia e te Ariki.
46 And Mary said—My soul doth magnify the Lord,
A ka mea a Meri, Ka whakanui toku wairua i te Ariki,
47 And my spirit hath exulted upon God my saviour;
E hari ana toku wairua ki te Atua, ki toku Kaiwhakaora;
48 Because he hath looked upon the humbling of his handmaid; for lo! from the present time, all the generations, will pronounce me happy.
Mona i titiro ki te iti o tana pononga; ta te mea hoki katahi ahau ka kiia e nga whakatupuranga katoa e haere ake nei, he wahine hari.
49 Because he that is mighty hath done for me great things, and, holy, is his name;
He nui hoki nga mahi a te Mea Kaha ki ahau; he tapu hoki tona ingoa.
50 And his mercy is unto generations and generations, to them who revere him;
He mahi tohu tana ki te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia, ki tenei whakatupuranga, ki tenei whakatupuranga.
51 He hath wrought strength with his arm, He hath scattered men arrogant in the intention of their heart;
Kua whakaputaina he kaha e ia, ara e tona ringa; nana te hunga whakakake i marara ai, i te whakaaro o o ratou ngakau.
52 He hath deposed potentates from thrones, and uplifted the lowly;
Kua whakataka e ia nga piriniha i o ratou torona, a whakateiteitia ake ana te hunga iti.
53 The hungry, hath he filled with good things, and, the wealthy, hath he sent empty away;
Kua whakakiia e ia te hunga mate hiakai ki nga mea pai; kua tonoa kautia atu te hunga taonga.
54 He hath laid hold of Israel his servant, to be mindful of mercies:
Kua tautokona e ia a Iharaira, tana pononga, he whakamahara hoki ki tana mahi tohu;
55 According as he spake unto our fathers, —To Abraham, and to his seed, —Unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
Ki a Aperahama ratou ko tana whanau ake tonu atu, pera hoki me tana i korero ai ki o tatou matua. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her house.
Na tata tonu ki te toru marama a Meri e noho ana ki a ia, a hoki ana ki tona whare.
57 And, to Elizabeth, was the time fulfilled, that she should be bringing forth, —and she gave birth to a son.
A ka rite te taima o Erihapeti e whanau ai; na ka whanau he tama.
58 And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard, that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
A ka rongo te hunga e noho tata ana, me ona whanaunga, kua whakanuia e te Ariki tona aroha ki a ia; na ka hari tahi me ia.
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.
A i te waru o nga ra ka haere mai ratou ki te kokoti i te tamaiti; ka mea kia huaina e ratou ko Hakaraia, ko te ingoa o tona papa.
60 And his mother, answering, said—Nay! but he shall be called, John.
Na ka whakahoki tona whaea, ka mea, Kahore; engari me hua ia ko Hoani.
61 And they said unto her—There is, no one from among thy kindred, who is called by this name!
Na ko ta ratou meatanga ki a ia, Ara, kahore tenei ingoa i huaina ki tetahi o ou whanaunga.
62 And they began making signs unto his father, as to what he might be wishing it to be called.
Na ka ui ratou ki tona papa, he mea waitohu, ko wai tana e pai ai kia huaina ki a ia.
63 And, asking for a small tablet, he wrote, saying—John, is his name! and they marvelled all.
Ka mea ia ki tetahi papa tuhituhi, a ka tuhituhi, ka mea, Ko Hoani hei ingoa mona. A miharo ana ratou katoa.
64 And his mouth was opened instantly, and his tongue [loosed], and he began to speak, blessing, God.
Na whai reo tonu iho tona mangai, ka matara tona arero, ka korero ia, ka whakapai ki te Atua.
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 tau ana te wehi ki te hunga katoa e noho tata ana ki a ratou: ka korerotia enei mea katoa puta noa i te whenua pukepuke katoa o Huria.
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.
Na ka rongoatia enei mea e te hunga katoa i rangona ai ki roto ki o ratou ngakau, ka mea, He tamaiti aha ianei tenei? i a ia hoki te ringa o te Ariki.
67 And, Zachariah his father, was filled with Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying: —
Na kua ki a Hakaraia, tona papa, i te Wairua tapu, ka poropiti, ka mea,
68 Blessed, be the Lord, the God of Israel! Because he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,
Kia whakapaingia te Ariki, te Atua o Iharaira; kua titiro mai hoki ia, kua hoko i tana iwi,
69 And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us, In the house of David his servant:
Kua whakaarahia ake e ia he haona whakaora mo tatou, i roto i te whare o Rawiri, o tana pononga;
Ko tana hoki ia i korerotia e te mangai o ana poropiti tapu, no te timatanga mai ano o te ao: (aiōn g165)
71 Of salvation from among our foes, and out of the hand of all them that hate us:
Hei whakaora i a tatou i o tatou hoa whawhai, i te ringa ano o te hunga katoa e kino ana ki a tatou;
72 To perform mercy with our fathers, and to be mindful of his holy covenant, —
Hei whakaputa i te mahi tohu ki o tatou tupuna, hei whakamahara ki tana kawenata tapu;
73 The oath which he sware unto Abraham our father, To grant us,
Ki te oati i oati ai ia ki a Aperahama, ki to tatou tupuna,
74 without fear, from the hand of enemies rescued, to be rendering divine service unto him,
Kia tukua mai e ia ki a tatou he ora i te ringa o o tatou hoa whawhai, kia mahi wehikore tatou ki a ia,
75 in lovingkindness and righteousness before him, all our days.
I runga i te tapu, i te tika, ki tona aroaro, i nga ra katoa e ora ai tatou.
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,
A ko koe, e tama, ka kiia ko te poropiti a te Runga Rawa: e haere hoki koe i te aroaro o te Ariki, hei whakapai i ona ara;
77 Giving a knowledge of salvation unto his people, by a remission of their sins.
Hei whakamatau i tana iwi ki te ora, i o ratou hara e murua ana;
78 Because of the yearning compassion of the mercy of our God, wherein shall visit us a day-dawn from on high, —
He mea hoki na te aroha, na te mahi tohu a to tatou Atua; na reira hoki i puta mai ai te puaotanga o runga ki a tatou,
79 To shine on them who, in the darkness and shade of death, are sitting, to guide our feet into a way of peace.
Hei whakamarama i te hunga e noho ana i te pouri, i te atarangi hoki o te mate, hei whakatika i o tatou waewae ki te huarahi o te rangimarie.
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.
Na ka tupu taua tamaiti, a ka kaha haere tona wairua, a noho ana i nga koraha, taea noatia te ra e whakakitea ai ia ki a Iharaira.
