< Luke 1 >

1 Inasmuch as many undertook to draw up a narration concerning the accomplished among us things,
Kote sung ah thu piang te sia mitampi in a ban a ban in at zo a, tua thu tangkona te sia ka up bel uh a hihi,
2 even as delivered [them] to us those from [the] beginning eyewitnesses and servants having been of the word,
A kipatcil pan in mitmu tetti te le Pathian kamal naseam te i hong son bang in a ki at a hihi;
3 it seemed good also to me also to me having been acquainted from the first with all things carefully with method to you to write, most excellent Theophilus,
A masabel pan in thu theampo a cialcing in he ka hikom, na tung ah a ban a ban in hong at leng pha tu hi, ci ngaisun khi hi, a thupibel Theofilas awng,
4 so that you may know concerning which you were instructed [of the] things the certainty.
Nangma hong hil sa thu te a kip a kho thei natu in hong at khi hi.
5 There was in the days of Herod (*k*) king of Judea a priest certain named Zechariah of [the] division of Abijah, and (the *k*) wife (of him *N(k)O*) of the daughters of Aaron and the name of her Elizabeth.
Judah kumpipa Herod hun lai in, Zacharias a kici thiampi khat om a, ama sia Abijah i thiampi pawl sung ah kihel hi: a zi min sia Elizabeth hi a, Aaron suan a hihi.
6 They were now righteous both (in front of *N(k)O*) God walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Amate ni sia Pathian mai ah mi thutang te hi uh a, thupiak te le biakna ngeina te sia paubang ngawl in a zui te a hi uh hi.
7 And no there was to them child, inasmuch as was Elizabeth barren and both having advanced in the years of them were.
Amate in ta a nei bua uh hi, banghangziam cile Elizabeth sia ciing hi, taciang amate a ni ma in a kum uh zong ham zo hi.
8 It came to pass now in the priestly serving of him in the order of the division of him before God,
Zecharias sia ama pawl te taw a nasep hun cing a Pathian mai ah thiampi nasep a sep laitak in,
9 according to the custom of the priesthood the lot picked [him as] the [one] to burn incense entering into the temple of the Lord;
Thiampi te nasep ngeina bang in aisan uh a, Zecharias in Topa biakinn sung a tum ciang in ngimnamtui hal tu nasep nei hi.
10 And all the multitude were of the people praying outside at the hour of the incense.
Ngimnamtui a hal laitak in mihonpi theampo a puasang ah thungen khawm uh hi.
11 Appeared then to him an angel of [the] Lord already standing at [the] right of the altar of the incense;
Topa vantungmi khat a kung ah hong kilang a, ngimnamtui hal na mun biaktau ziatsang ah ding hi.
12 And was troubled Zechariah having seen [him], and fear fell upon him.
Zechariah in ama a mu ciang in, patau a, a tung ah launa theng hi.
13 Said then to him the angel; Not do fear Zechariah; because has been heard the prayer of you, and the wife of You Elizabeth will bear a son to you, and you will call the name of him John.
Ahihang vantungmi in, Zechariah: lau heak in, Pathian in na thungetna hong za zo hi, taciang na zi Elizabeth in tapa hing tu a, a min sia John, phuak tu ni hi, ci hi.
14 And he will be joy to you and gladness, and many at the (birth *N(k)O*) of him will rejoice.
Lungdamna le thinnopna nei tu ni hi; a sua ciang in mi tampi te zong lungdam tu uh hi.
15 He will be for great before the Lord, and wine and strong drink certainly not shall he drink, and [of the] Spirit Holy he will be filled even from [the] womb of [the] mother of him.
Banghangziam cile ama sia Topa mai ah mi thupi hi tu hi, sapittui ahizong, zu ahizong, dawn ngawl tu hi; a nu ngil sung pan ma in Tha Thiangtho taw kidim tu hi.
16 And many of the sons of Israel he will turn to [the] Lord the God of them,
Israel mi tampi te zong amate Pathian Topa kung ah heakkiksak tu hi.
17 And he himself will go forth before Him in [the] spirit and power of Elijah to turn [the] hearts of [the] fathers to [the] children and [the] disobedient to [the] wisdom of [the] righteous, to make ready for [the] Lord a people prepared.
Elijah i thaa le vangletna taw Topa mai ah pai tu a, pa te le ta te i thinsung te ahizong, thu ni ngawl te sia mi thuman te i ciimna ah ahizong; Topa atu in mihing te kinging kholsak le ki thoaikholsak tu in heakkiksak tu hi.
18 And said Zechariah to the angel; By what will I know this? I myself for am an old man, and the wife of mine having advanced in the years of her.
Zechariah in vantungmi kung ah, nong son bang in piang takpi tu hi, ci bangbang in he tu khi ziam? banghangziam cile keima sia pasal huai khi hi, taciang ka zi zong huai mama zo hi, ci hi.
19 And answering the angel said to him; I myself am Gabriel the [one] standing before God and I was sent to speak to you and to bring glad tidings to you these.
Tasiaciang vantungmi in, keima sia Pathian mai ah a ding Gabriel ka hihi; nangma paupui tu le lungdamna thu son tu in hong sawl hi.
20 And behold you will be silent and not able to speak until that day may happen these things, in return for that not you did believe in the words of mine which will be fulfilled in the season of them.
Taciang, en in, hi thu te a pian ni dong pau thei ngawl tu ni hi, banghangziam cile amate hun ciang a tangtung tu ka thu na up ngawl hang a hihi, ci in zo hi.
21 And were the people expecting Zechariah and they were wondering at the delaying in the temple of him.
Mipi te in Zechariah ngak uh a, biakinn sung ah ngei mama om ahikom in, lamdangsa uh hi.
22 Having come out then not he was able to speak to them; and they recognized that a vision he has seen in the temple. And he himself was making signs to them and was remaining mute.
Biakinn sung pan a pusua ciang in amate tung ah bangma son thei ngawl hi: taciang biakinn sung ah mangmu hi, ci amate in he uh hi: banghangziam cile a khut taw lak a, pau thei tuan ngawl hi.
23 And it came to pass when were fulfilled the days of the service of him, he departed to the home of him.
Thiampi nasep ni te a bo pociang in Zechariah sia a inn ah cia hi.
24 After then these days conceived Elizabeth the wife of him and was hiding herself months five saying
Tua zawkciang in a zi Elizabeth sia naupai a, tha nga sung bu hi,
25 that Thus to me has done (the *k*) Lord in [the] days in which He looked upon [me] to take away (the *k*) disgrace of mine among men.
Tua ahikom Elizabeth in, Topa in keima atu in hi thu hong vawtsak hi, mihing te sung ah zawnsakna ka thuak nate hong laksak tu in Ama in hong ve zo hi, ci hi.
26 In now the month sixth was sent the angel Gabriel (by *N(k)O*) God to a city of Galilee whose name [was] Nazareth
Tha luk a cin ciang in, Pathian in vantungmi Gabriel sia Galilee ngam Nazareth khua ah a om,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name [was] Joseph of [the] house of David, and the name of the virgin [was] Mary.
Ngaknu thiangtho khat, David suan Joseph taw nupa tu in zuthawl piaksa, Mary kung ah paisak hi.
28 And having come (*ko*) (angel *KO*) to her he said; Greetings! you graciously favored; The Lord [is] with you. (blessed [are] you yourself among women. *KO*)
Vantungmi a kung ah hongpai a, na tung ah thupha om tahen, nangma sia a thupi mama maipha nga na hihi, Topa nang taw hong om hi: numei te sung ah thuphatoai na hihi, ci hi.
29 And (having seen [him] *K*) at the statement she was troubled (of him *k*) and was pondering what kind would be salutation this.
Ama in vantungmi a mu ciang, a sonthu hang in a thinsung buai a, bangbang paupuina hi tu ziam, ci ngaisun hi.
30 And said the angel to her; Not do fear Mary, you have found for favor with God.
Taciang vantungmi in, Mary awng, lau heak in, banghangziam cile Pathian mai ah maipha nga zo ni hi, ci hi.
31 and behold you will conceive in womb and will bring forth a son and you will call the name of Him Jesus.
En in, nau na pai tu a, tapa nei tu ni hi, taciang a min sia Jesus phuak tu ni hi, ci hi.
32 He will be great and Son of [the] Most High He will be called, and will give to Him [the] Lord God the throne of David of the father of Him,
Ama sia mi thupi hi tu a, A sangbel i Tapa, kici tu hi: taciang Topa Pathian in a Pa David i kumpi tokhum pia tu hi:
33 and He will reign over the house of Jacob to the ages, and of the kingdom of Him not there will be an end! (aiōn g165)
Ama in Jacob suan te a tawntung in uk tu a; Ama ukna sia tawp hun nei ngawl tu hi. (aiōn g165)
34 Said then Mary to the angel; How will be this since a man not I know?
Mary in vantungmi kung ah, bangbang piang thei tu ziam, keima in pa taw ki he ngei ngawl khi hi, ci hi.
35 And answering the angel said to her; [the] Spirit Holy will come upon you and power of [the] Most High will overshadow you; therefore also the [one] being born Holy [One] will be called [the] Son of God.
Vantungmi in zo kik a, Tha Thiangtho na tung ah hong theng tu a, A sangbel i vangletna in hong tuam tu hi: tua ahikom na sung pan in a suak tu tapa thiangtho sia Pathian Tapa kici tu hi, ci hi.
36 And behold Elizabeth the (relative *N(k)O*) of you also she (has conceived *N(k)O*) a son in old age of her, and this month [the] sixth is to her who [was] called barren
En in, na mealheak Elizbeth, a ciing ci in ngual i son ngei sia a kum ham zawkciang in tapa pai hi: tu in tha luk pha zo hi.
37 For not will be impossible with (God *N(k)O*) every declaration.
Banghangziam cile, Pathian taw a piang thei ngawl bangma om ngawl tu hi.
38 Said then Mary; Behold the handmaid of [the] Lord; Would [that] it happen to me according to the declaration of you. And departed from her the angel.
Mary in, keima sia Topa i sal nu ka hihi; ka tung ah na ci bang in hi tahen, ci hi. Taciang vantungmi a kung pan in paikhia hi.
39 Having risen up then Mary in days these she went into the hill country with haste to a town of Judah
Tua hun in, Mary ding a, Judah ngam huam mualtung khua ah manlangtak in pai hi;
40 and she entered into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
Zechariah innsung ah tum a, Elizabeth paupui hi.
41 And it came to pass as heard the greeting of Mary Elizabeth, leaped the baby in the womb of her, and was filled with [the] Spirit Holy Elizabeth
Taciang, Elizabeth in Mary paupuina a zak ciang in a ngil sung ah nauno tawn hi; taciang Elizabeth sia Tha Thiangtho taw kidim a:
42 and she cried out (in a shout *N(k)O*) loud and said; Blessed [are] you yourself among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of the womb of you.
Aw ngingtak taw, nangma sia numei te sung pan thuphatoai na hihi, taciang na ngilsung a om nauno zong thuphatoai a hihi.
43 And from where to me this that may come the mother of the Lord of mine to me myself?
Bangbang in ka Topa i nu sia kei kung ah hongpai ziam?
44 Behold for as came the voice of the greeting of you into the ears of mine, leaped in exultation the baby in the womb of mine.
Banghangziam cile, en in, nong paupui na aw ka zak pociang, ka ngil sung ah nauno sia lungdamna taw tawn hi.
45 And blessed [is] the [one] having believed that there will be a fulfillment to the [things] spoken to her from [the] Lord.
A um nu sia thuphatoai a hihi: banghangziam cile tua thu te sia Topa in ama a son bang in vawt tu hi, ci hi.
46 And said Mary: Magnifies the soul of Mine the Lord,
Mary in, ka nuntakna in Topa lamsang hi,
47 and rejoices the spirit of mine in God the Savior of mine,
Keima hong Ngum Pathian tung ah ka thaa a lungdam hi.
48 For He has looked upon the humiliation of the handmaiden of Him. Behold for from henceforth will count blessed me all the generations
Banghangziam cile, nunniam kei a salnu hong ve hi: en vun, tu pan kipan in khangkhat zawk khangkhat, thuphatoai nu, hong kici tu hi.
49 For has done to me (great [things] *N(k)O*) the Mighty One; And holy [is] the name of Him;
Banghangziam cile a vanglian Pathian in keima atu in a thupi mama te vawt zo hi; taciang a min thiangtho hi.
50 And the mercy of Him [is] to generations (and *no*) (generations *N(k)O*) to those fearing Him;
A hesuakna sia ama a zakta te tung ah khangkhat zawk khangkhat om tawntung hi.
51 He has shown strength with [the] arm of Him; He has scattered [the] proud in [the] thought of heart of them;
Ama in a ban taw thahatna hong lak zo a; a ki phasak te thinsung ngaisutna zong ki thethangsak siat zo hi.
52 He has brought down rulers from thrones and exalted [the] humble;
Ama in a vanglian te amate tokhum pan in a nuai ah khiasuk zo a, mi nunniam te domto zo hi.
53 [Those] hungering He has filled with good things and [those] being rich He has sent away empty;
Ama in a ngilkial te thupha te taw ngilvasak zo a; a hau te khut hawm taw ki heamsak hi.
54 He has helped Israel [the] servant of Him remembering mercy,
Ama in a hesuakna phawk tawntung in a sal Israel hu zo hi;
55 even as He spoke to the fathers of us, to Abraham and to the descendants of him to the age. (aiōn g165)
I pu i pa te kung ah a sonsa bangma in, Abraham le a suan te hu hi, ci hi. (aiōn g165)
56 Dwelt then Mary with her (about *N(k)O*) months three and returned to the home of her.
Taciang Mary sia Elizabeth kung ah tha thum sung om a, ama inn ah ciakik hi.
57 Now Elizabeth was fulfilled the time to give birth for her and she bore a son.
Elizabeth nau sua tu hun a cin ciang in tapa nei hi.
58 And heard the neighbours and the relatives of her that magnified [the] Lord the mercy of Him with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
Elizabeth kung ah Topa hesuakna lianpi kilang ci a innpam te le a mealheak te in a zak uh ciang in lungdampui tek mama uh hi.
59 And it came to pass on day the eighth they came to circumcise the child and were calling it after the name of the father of him Zechariah.
Nausen ni liat a cin ciang in vunteap tan tu in hongpai a, a pa min zui in, Zechariah, ci uh hi.
60 And answering the mother of him said; No, but he will be called John.
A nu in, hi ngawl hi; a min John kici tu hi, ci in zo hi.
61 And they said to her that No [one] is (among the relatives *N(k)O*) of you who is called the name by this.
Amate in, na phung sung uh ah hibang min nei kuama om ngawl hi, ci uh hi.
62 They were making signs then to the father of him the what maybe he would wish to be called (him. *N(k)O*)
Taciang amate in a pa khut taw lak uh a, bangbang ci nuam ni ziam, ci dong uh hi.
63 And having asked for a writing tablet he wrote saying; John is (the *ko*) name of him. And they marveled all.
Zechariah in lai at natu ngen a, a min sia John hi, ci at hi. Taciang a vekpi in lamdangsa mama uh hi.
64 Was opened then the mouth of him immediately and the tongue of him and he was speaking blessing God.
Taciang thatkhatthu in a kam ki hong in a lei hong suakta kik ahikom, pau in Pathian pok hi.
65 And came upon all fear those dwelling around them; and in all the hill country of Judea were being talked about all declarations these,
A kim a om theampo tung ah lau na hong theng a; tua thu sia Judah kual mualtung khuano theampo ah ki zel hi.
66 And laid [them] up all those having heard in the heart of them saying; What then child this will be? And (for *no*) [the] hand of [the] Lord was with him.
Tua thu a za theampo in amate thinsung tek ah keam uh a, hisia bangbang nausen hi peuma tu ziam! ci tek uh hi. Taciang Topa khut sia Ama tung ah om hi.
67 And Zechariah the father of him was filled with [the] Spirit Holy and prophesied saying;
John i pa Zechariah sia Tha Thiangtho taw kidim hi, taciang maisang thu a pualak na ah,
68 Blessed [be] [the] Lord the God of Israel, because He has visited and He has performed redemption [on] the people of Him,
Israel te Topa Pathian minthang tahen; banghangziam cile a mite ve in hun zo hi,
69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in (the *k*) house of David (the *k*) servant of Him,
Eite atu in ngupna kii sia a sal David inn sung pan in hong suaksak zo hi;
70 even as He spoke through [the] mouth of the holy (of the *k*) of [old] age prophets of Him; (aiōn g165)
Leitung kipat lai pan in kamsang thiangtho te kam zang in son zo hi: (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from [the] enemies of us and from [the] hand of all those hating us,
I ngal te le hong ensan te khutsung pan in eite ngum tu in ahizong;
72 to fulfill mercy toward the fathers of us, and to remember [the] covenant holy of Him,
I pu i pa te tung ah vawt tu in thu a ciam sa hesuakna le thuciam thiangtho phawk tawntung tu in ahizong;
73 [the] oath that He swore to Abraham the father of us,
I pa Abraham tung ah a kiciamna thukham,
74 to grant us without fear from [the] hand (of the *k*) enemies (of us *k*) having been saved to serve Him
Eite tung ah pia tu le i ngal te khutsung pan in hong suaktasak tu a, lau na om ngawl in,
75 in holiness and righteousness before Him (all the days *N(k)O*) (of the life *k*) of us.
I nuntaksung theampo Ama mai ah thianthona le thutang suana taw Ama na i sep thei natu a hihi.
76 And you yourself (now, *no*) child, prophet of [the] Most High will be called; you will go for (in front of *N(k)O*) ([the] face of *ko*) [the] Lord to prepare ways of Him,
Taciang nang, nausen, A sangbel i kamsang, hong ci tu hi: banghangziam cile Topa mai ah a lampi puakhol tu in pai tu hi;
77 to give knowledge of salvation to the people of Him in forgiveness of [the] sins of them
A mite tung ah, amate mawna pan in mawmaisak na tungtawn in ngupna thu hesak tu in,
78 through [the] affections of compassion of God of us in which (will visit *N(k)O*) us [the] Sunrise from on high,
I Pathian i a neam thuthiamna tungtawn in; van pan zing nisuak bang in hong ve zo hi,
79 to shine upon those in darkness and in [the] shadow of death sitting, to direct the feet of us into [the] way of peace.
Khuazing le thi na lim sung ah a to te khuavak pia tu le eite i peang te thinnopna lampi ah hong makai tu hi, ci hi.
80 And the child was continuing to grow and he was strengthened in spirit and he was in the deserted places until [the] day of appearance of him to Israel.
Nausen sia khang a, thaa lam ah thahat hi, Israel te kung ah a kilaak mateng duisung ah om hi.
