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, —
Afwanaje abhantu abhinji bhabheshela amakhono asebhe eshe tukalibu owe nongwa nelwe mombia gula gagu timiziwe pahati yetu,
2 according as they who from the beginning became eye-witnesses and attendants of the Word delivered them unto us,
Neshe bhala shubhatihudithiga bhala bhabhahali bhashahidi bhagalolaga. na bhula atumishi abhalila izu elyufume ahwande.
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:
Endolile shinza ane nane, afwanaje ehwiyanzie ulwilyoli amambo ega gonti afume huwandilo husimbire hupanjililo Theafilo hwutukfu.
4 that, as touching the matters which thou hadst been taught by word of mouth, thou mightest obtain full knowledge, of the certainty.
Opate amanye elyoli emambo gala gohasambelezewe.
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.
Umwaha gwa Herode, umwene uwa Yudea, palino kohani omo itawa lyakwe Zakaria, uwa tandilane no Abya. No she wakwe bhulibhabhebho ya Haruni, itawa lyakwe Elizabeti.
6 Now they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and righteous appointments of the Lord, blameless;
Na hwonti bhabhele bhali bhelyoli hwitagalila elya NGOLOBHE; bhahendeleye ne ndajizwo zwonti ezwa gosi ne ndajizwo lyakwe bila eyaune.
7 and they had no child, inasmuch as Elizabeth was barren, and, both, had become, advanced in their days.
Bhape sebhali no mwana eshi Elizabethi ali gomba, na bhonti bhabhule bhali bhagogolo tee.
8 But it came to pass, as he was doing priestly service in the order of his daily course, before God,
Basi nashi nabhombaga embombo eye ukuhani uwa taratibu uwa tandilane hwakwe hwitagalila elyu NGOLOBHE.
9 according to the custom of his priesthood, it fell to his lot to offer incense, entering into the Temple of the Lord;
Neshe shashahali ekawaida yao eye Ukuhani, ekora ehangweleye ahwinjile mshibhanza esha gosi ili kufukizo uvumba.
10 and, all the throng of the people, was praying outside, at the hour of the incense offering.
Na mabungano gonti ega bhantu bhali puta hwonze esaa ya kufukiza uvumba.
11 And there appeared unto him a messenger of the Lord, standing on the right hand of the altar of incense;
Wafumilya no malaika uwa gosi ayemeleye upani uwendelo paluputo ya kufukiza.
12 and Zachariah was troubled when he beheld, and, fear, fell upon him.
Zakaria nawalola adhugumiye owoga wamwinjiye.
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;
Lelo ula umalaika wabhola uganje, “Awogope Zakaria, eshi apute hwaohwo vwehwe. Na ushe waho Uzabeth aihupapila umwana. Olume na itawa lyakwe wayihumweta Yohana.
14 And there shall be joy to thee and exulting, and, many, over his birth, shall rejoice;
Nawe wabha nolunzongwo na shangwe nabhantu abhinji bhayihusongwa apapwa hwakwe.
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;
Kwasababu ayibha gosi hwitagalile gosi sagayimwela idivai wala akholwe wape aimemezewe.
16 And, many of the Sons of Israel, shall he turn towards the Lord their God;
Upepo umwololo hata afume mvyanda mwanyi wakwa Na abhini abha Israeli aibhaweziye hwa gosi UNGOLOBHE wao.
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.
Wapa aitangulila hwitalilo lyakwe ne roho ye hwa Eliya. Enguvu zwakwe ili agagalusye amoyo gabhuise igabhalile abhana, na abhabheshela bhabhatejile enjele ezye bhelyoli na hubheshele ugosi tayali abhantu bhabhalenganyinziwe.”
18 And Zachariah said unto the messenger—Whereby, shall I know this? for, I, am, aged, and, my wife, advanced in her days.
Zakaria abholele malaika, “Naimayawele izu ulyo eshi endigogolo na ushe wane gogolo wensiku nyinji.”
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.
Umalaika wagalula wabhozya, “Ane ne Gabrieli, nenemeleye, hwitagalalilo lya NGOLOBHE. Nane entunuwilye anjanje nawe, na hubhole lenongwa ezi enyinza.
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.
Na nyenye, ubhabhe bubu, sobhayanje, mpaka isiku lila nayayibhombeha. Ego kwasababu sewahovwezye enongwa zyane gape gayitimila huwakati wakwe.”
21 And the people were expecting Zachariah, and began to marvel that he should tarry in the Temple;
Nabhala abhantu bhalibhahugolela uZakaria. Bhaswiga akhalilihwakwe mla mshibhanza.
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.
Nawafuma alisagawezya, ayanje nao bhamenye aje. alolile amaono mhati mshibhanza. Wape ahendeleye abhalolesya akhale abhebubu.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his public ministration were fulfilled, that he departed unto his house.
Zyabha ensiku ezye utumishi wakwe nuzyafiha abhalile akhaya yakwe.
24 And, after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she disguised herself five months, saying—
Huta ensiku zila ushe wakwe ulizabethi apate evyanda wabha na amezi gasanu. Nawayanga, “
25 Thus, for me, hath the Lord wrought, —in the days in which he looked upon me, to take away my reproach among men.
Eshi shambombeye UGOSI ensiku zila zyanenyizya esoni yane hwitagalilo elyabhantu.”
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, —
Umwezi uwa tanda umalaika uGabrieli asontezywe no NGOLOBHE abhalile mpaka mji wa hu Galilaya, itawa lyakwe Nazareti,
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;
Hwa rendu ubikira ya pabhiliwa no muntu itawa lyakwe Yusufu. Wa hutali hwa Daudi, na itawa lyakwe ubikira uyo yu Mariamu.
28 and entering in unto her, he said—Joy to thee, favoured one! The Lord, be with thee!
Ahinjila munyumba yakwe wayanga, “Mwagona, upewewe eneema! no GOSI alipandwemo nawe.”
29 And, she, at the word, was greatly troubled, and began to deliberate, of what kind, this salutation, might be.
Wapa ashelile tee afwatana nenongwazyakwe. Asebha humwoyo endamuho ene yeshe.
30 And the messenger said unto her—Do not fear, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God, —
Umalaika abhola, “Ugaje hogope, Mariamu, afwanaje upate eneema afume hwa NGOLOBHE.
31 And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name, Jesus:
Enya ubhahweje, uyanda na pape umewna ulume, na itawa lyakwe ubha hwumwete u 'Yesu.'
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, —
Oyo aibha GOSI abhahwetwe mwana yali humwanya uGOSI UNGOLOBHE alihupela itengo elye umwene u Daudi use wakwe.
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob, unto the ages, and, of his kingdom, there shall be, no end. (aiōn g165)
Abhaitawale ekhaya eya Yakobo wilawila na umwene wakwe sewayibha no umalisholo. (aiōn g165)
34 But Mary said unto the messenger—How, shall this thing be, seeing that, a man, I know not?
UMariamu wabhola umalaika, zibhabhe wele enongwa ezi, afwanaje semenye ulume?
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.
UMalaika wajibu wabhola, “Upepo Uselu abhahumwenzele pamwanya yaho, na engulu zyakwe yalipamwanya zibhahu vwenwsye. Neshe izyongozi afwatanaje oyo yayipapwa ayibha zelu mwana wa NGOLOBHE.
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;
Antele, enye uholo waho Elizabeti wape apete ulyanda ulya mwana ulume.
37 Because no declaration from God, shall be void of power.
Afwatanaje nalimo izu lyasagaliwezehala hwa NGOLOBHE.”
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.
UMariamu wayanga, “Waga, enye ane endi wembombo wa GOSI. Ebhehuline neshe shoyajele.” Antele umalaika wasogola wabhala hwamwahale.
39 And Mary, arising, in these days, journeyed into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah, —
Basi u Mariamu wasogola ensiku ezyo wabhola hata ensi ya humagamba nanali mpaka ensi emo ya hwa Yudea.
40 and entered into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
Winjelo munyumba mwa Zekaria walamuha u Elizabeti.
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, —
Yabha, Elizabeti nahwovwa hula alamushe kwakwe uMariamu, ahana ahela handa ahwanje mvyanda vyakwe, Elizabeti wamema opepo Uzelu.
42 and lifted up her voice with loud exclamation, and said—Blessed, art thou among women, and, blessed, is the fruit of thy womb;
Wakhola hwizu elyemaha wanyaga usayilye, “Hwabhashe bhonti nawe empapwo yaho esaiwe.
43 And, whence, to me is, this, That the mother of my Lord should come, unto me?
Unfumiye izu eli, hata omaye uwu GOSI wane anenzelene?
44 For lo! as the sound of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe in my womb, leapt in exultation.
Nenshe izu ilyalamusha gane ahana ahela hanga hasongwelwe mhati mvyanda vyane.
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!
Wape nafu yayovyezye neshe naga itimila gabholelwe no GOSI.”
46 And Mary said—My soul doth magnify the Lord,
Omariamu wayanga, omwoyo gwane gwamwenye ONGOLOBHE,
47 And my spirit hath exulted upon God my saviour;
Roho yane esongwezye ONGOLOBHE yanauye ane.
48 Because he hath looked upon the humbling of his handmaid; for lo! from the present time, all the generations, will pronounce me happy.
Afwanaje agwenyizye unyonge uwe mbombo wakwe. Eshe, enyaga ahwandileshi evikholo vyonti vyayikwizya osayilwe.
49 Because he that is mighty hath done for me great things, and, holy, is his name;
Afwatanaje owemaha ambombeye amagasi, lyape itawalyakwa lizelu.
50 And his mercy is unto generations and generations, to them who revere him;
ERehema zyakwe zidela evikholo ne vikholo hwebho bhahahuputa.
51 He hath wrought strength with his arm, He hath scattered men arrogant in the intention of their heart;
Abhombile amaha uhukhono gwakwe; abhanyampenye abhemashento afume masebho ezye moyo gabho.
52 He hath deposed potentates from thrones, and uplifted the lowly;
Abhagwisizye agosi mmatengo gabho ageshimwene na nyonge abhabhosezye.
53 The hungry, hath he filled with good things, and, the wealthy, hath he sent empty away;
Abhenzala abhakutizizye aminza, bhape abhemali abhefwizye makhono wene.
54 He hath laid hold of Israel his servant, to be mindful of mercies:
Amwavwizye u Israeli uwembombo wakwa ili ahwizushe rehema zyakwe.
55 According as he spake unto our fathers, —To Abraham, and to his seed, —Unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
(Neshe shubhabhozezye ababa bhetu) Ibrahimu empapwo yakwe mpaka welawila.” (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her house.
UMariamu wakhala nawo mpaka amezi gatatu nantele wawela abheale akhayayakwe.
57 And, to Elizabeth, was the time fulfilled, that she should be bringing forth, —and she gave birth to a son.
Zyabha ensiku ezya pape hwakwe u Elizabeti nazya timila, wapapa umwana lume.
58 And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard, that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
Bhahovwezye ajirani na mwabho bhakwe, aje GOSI amwonjezyezye erehema bhasongwa pandwemo nao.
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.
Lyabha isiku elya nane wakati wa kutahiri omwana. Bhahanza hupele itawa elyayise, “Zakaria,”
60 And his mother, answering, said—Nay! but he shall be called, John.
Unyino wakwe wagalula wayanga, “Nkashele; seshasho basi ayibha yo Yohana.”
61 And they said unto her—There is, no one from among thy kindred, who is called by this name!
Bhabhola sepali amuntu afume hwamwenyu bhaho akwiziwe itawa elya Yohana.
62 And they began making signs unto his father, as to what he might be wishing it to be called.
Bhamwanya usewakwe sabhu hwmwete.
63 And, asking for a small tablet, he wrote, saying—John, is his name! and they marvelled all.
Wanza ahabampa wasimba aje, “itawa lyakwe yo Yohana.” Bhaswijitie bhonti.
64 And his mouth was opened instantly, and his tongue [loosed], and he began to speak, blessing, God.
Pepo na pepo ilomu lyakwe liguha numele lyakwe antele wanda ayaje. Nautelele ONGOLOBHE.
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;
Bhinjilwa nowoga bhonti bhali bhakheye pandwemo, na. mambo ego gonti gatangazezwe ensi yonti yammagamba mgamba e Yudea.
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 bhonti bhabhagovwezye bhagabheha humoyo gabho, bhayanga, “Umwana uno ayibha wefwane hwele?” Afwaneje ukhono ogwa GOSI gwali pandwemo no mwane.
67 And, Zachariah his father, was filled with Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying: —
UZakaria uyise wamema opepo ozelu, wakuwawanyanga,
68 Blessed, be the Lord, the God of Israel! Because he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,
“Abhosewe OGSI, ONGOLOBHE wa Israeli, afwanaje abhenzeye abhantu bhakwe na bhaule.
69 And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us, In the house of David his servant:
Atemelesezye empeta eyataule afume mlyango ugwa Daudi, uwe mbombo wakwe.
Nenshe ayanjile afume huwandilo hwilumu elyakuwe akuwe bhakwe azelu. (aiōn g165)
71 Of salvation from among our foes, and out of the hand of all them that hate us:
Tisatulwe na bhibhi bhentu na mma khono gabho bhonti bhabhativitwa
72 To perform mercy with our fathers, and to be mindful of his holy covenant, —
Ili abhabhombele aminza ababa bhetu na hwizushe ipatano lyakwe izelu,
73 The oath which he sware unto Abraham our father, To grant us,
Ishilapo shalapiye Ibrahimu uyise wetu.
74 without fear, from the hand of enemies rescued, to be rendering divine service unto him,
Afwanaje anzatavwilizya ate taushe nimakhono gabhibhi bhetu na humpute bila woga.
75 in lovingkindness and righteousness before him, all our days.
Nazelu nelyoli hwitagalilo lyakwe ensiku zyonti.
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,
Nawe, womwana wahwetwa, ukuwe ukuwe wakwe yalimwanya, afwaneje awa wayitangulila hwita galila humaso ega GOSI ulenga nyizizye amadala gakwe,
77 Giving a knowledge of salvation unto his people, by a remission of their sins.
Obhabhozye abhantu bhakwa usatule aje asajilwe embibhi zyabho.
78 Because of the yearning compassion of the mercy of our God, wherein shall visit us a day-dawn from on high, —
Hwidala elye rehema lya NGOLOBHE wetu, afwatanaje hwezyo okhozyo lwalufumile amwanya lutifishiye,
79 To shine on them who, in the darkness and shade of death, are sitting, to guide our feet into a way of peace.
Abhakhozye bhabhakhala hukisi hunzunda eyenfwa. nagalongozwa unamana getu hwidala ilinza.”
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.
Ula, mwana wakula wonjelela amaha roho wakhala humapoli hata hwisiku elye fumila hwakwe u Israeli.
