Luke 1
1 Inasmuch as many undertook to draw up a narration concerning the accomplished among us things,
Sumbu batu batona sonika mambu momo mavioka va khatitsikꞌeto;
2 even as delivered [them] to us those from [the] beginning eyewitnesses and servants having been of the word,
banga bubatukambila mawu kuidi batu bobo baba bambangi bamona mesotona vana thonono ayi baba bisadi bi mambu ma Nzambi.
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 mueni Tewofile, ndimona ti didi dimbote, sumbu ndifiongunina bumbotemambu moso tona vana thonono mu kusonikina mawu boso bu malandikinini
4 so that you may know concerning which you were instructed [of the] things the certainty.
muingi wuzaba kiedika ki mambu momo wulongu.
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.
Mu thangu Elode kaba ntinu mu Yuda, muba ayi nganga Nzambi yimosi, dizina diandi Zakali. Niandi wuba mu dikabu di Abia ayi nketo andi Elizabeti wuba mu nkuna Aloni.
6 They were now righteous both (in front of *N(k)O*) God walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Bawu buadi baba batu basonga va meso ma Nzambi ayi baba kinzikangazithumunu zioso ayi mina mioso mi Pfumu mu kambu tsembolo.
7 And no there was to them child, inasmuch as was Elizabeth barren and both having advanced in the years of them were.
Basia buta bana ko bila Elizabeti wuba sita ayi bawu buadi baba banuna ngolo.
8 It came to pass now in the priestly serving of him in the order of the division of him before God,
Lumbu kimosi Zakali kaba sala kisalu kiandi ki kinganga Nzambi va ntuala Nzambi bila yiba thangu yi dikabu diandi;
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;
landila bu bela kifu ki zinganga Nzambi, niandi wubuilu tsombo mu kota mu vinga ki nlongo ki Pfumu mu diambu di yoka ansa.
10 And all the multitude were of the people praying outside at the hour of the incense.
Mu thangu yinyokongo ansa, nkangu woso wu batu widi mu lusambulu ku nganda.
11 Appeared then to him an angel of [the] Lord already standing at [the] right of the altar of the incense;
Tumbu zimbukila mbasi yi Pfumu yintotukila, buna yitelimini va koko ku lubakala lu diziku di banyokilanga ansa.
12 And was troubled Zechariah having seen [him], and fear fell upon him.
Zakali bu kammona, weka ntita ayi weka mona tsisi.
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.
Vayi mbasi yinkamba: —A Zakali, bika mona tsisi bila Nzambi wuwilu lusambulu luaku, diawu nketoꞌaku Elizabeti wela kubutila muana wu bakala ayi wela kuntedilanga Yowani.
14 And he will be joy to you and gladness, and many at the (birth *N(k)O*) of him will rejoice.
Wala ba tho yi khini ayi di tsaya kuidi ngeyo ayi batu bawombo bela mona khini mu mbutukulu andi.
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.
Wela ba wunneni va ntuala Pfumu, kalendi nua kadi vinu ko, kadi malavu mankolosongo ko. Wela ba wufuluka mu Pheve Yinlongo tona mu vumu ki nguandi.
16 And many of the sons of Israel he will turn to [the] Lord the God of them,
Wela vutula bana ba Iseli bawombo kuidi Nzambi awu.
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.
Wela tuamina Pfumu ku ntuala mu mpeve ayi mu lulendo lu Eli mu diambu di vutula nguizani va khatitsika madisa ayi bana bawu, mu diambu di batu bobo badi matingu batula mu tezo ki yindula bangabatu basonga ayi mu kubika batu bakubama mu diambu di Pfumu.
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.
Buna Zakali wuyuvula mbasi: —A buevi ndiela bu zabila e? Bila minu veka ndieka nunu ki ngolo ayi nketo ama mimvu miwombo keka.
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.
Mbasi yimvutudila: —Minu ndidi Ngabi, minu nditelamanga va ntuala Nzambi, thumunu mu kuyolukila ayi ku kamba minsamu miami mimbote.
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.
Vayi weka kituka dibaba ayi wulendi baka bu buela yolukilanga ko nate lumbu kioki mambu mama mela vangama. Bobo buela bela bila wusi wilukila ko mambu mama, momo mela vangama mu thangu yifuana.
21 And were the people expecting Zechariah and they were wondering at the delaying in the temple of him.
Vayi mu thangu beni, nkangu wu batu wuba vingila Zakali. Batu basimina bu bamona ti wulembu zingila muna vinga ki nlongo.
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.
Bu katotuka, kasi baka bu yolukila ko batu bobo bakutakana. Buna basudika ti tsongolo kamueni muna vinga nlongo. Niandi mu bidimbu kaba kuba yolukila ayi wusiala dibaba.
23 And it came to pass when were fulfilled the days of the service of him, he departed to the home of him.
Bu kamanisa bilumbu biandi bi kisalu, buna wuvutuka ku nzoꞌandi.
24 After then these days conceived Elizabeth the wife of him and was hiding herself months five saying
Bilumbu bina bu bivioka, nketo andi Elizabeti weka mu buemba. Vayi zingondi zitanu kasuamina bila wukamba ti:
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.
—Tala maphangidi Pfumu! Niandi wumbengudidi thalu yimbote ayi botudi zitsoni ziama va meso ma batu boso.
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
Mu ngondi yi nsambanu, Nzambi wufidisa mbasi Ngabi ku divula dimosi didi mu Ngalili. Dizina di divula beni Nazaleti,
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.
kuidi muana ndumba wumosi wuwizana makuela ayi bakala dimosi, diba mu nkuna Davidi. Dizina di bakala beni Zefu ayi dizina di muana ndumba Maliya.
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*)
—Mboti aku e! Ngeyo wumonokono nlemvo kuidi Nzambi! Pfumu widi yaku!
29 And (having seen [him] *K*) at the statement she was troubled (of him *k*) and was pondering what kind would be salutation this.
Maliya weka mona boma bu kawa mambu momo. Wuba ku kiyuvula tsundu yi mbote yoyo.
30 And said the angel to her; Not do fear Mary, you have found for favor with God.
Buna mbasi yinkamba: —Bika mona tsisi Maliya bila Nzambi wumueni kiadi.
31 and behold you will conceive in womb and will bring forth a son and you will call the name of Him Jesus.
Tala: wela ba mu buemba ayi wela buta muana wu bakala; wela kuntedilanga Yesu.
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,
Wela ba wunneni. Wela tedudulungu “Nzambi yizangama” ayi Pfumu Nzambi wela kumvana kundu ki kipfumu ki nkulu andi Davidi.
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)
Wela biadilanga, mu zithangu zioso, batu batotukila mu Yakobi ayilubialu luandi lulendi suka ko. (aiōn g165)
34 Said then Mary to the angel; How will be this since a man not I know?
Maliya wukamba Mbasi: —A buevi mela vangimina bila ndisi zaba nitu yi bakala ko?
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.
Mbasi yimvutudila: —Pheve Yinlongo yela kuluka mu ngeyo ayi kitsusula ki lulendo lu Nzambi wuzangama kiela kufukidila. Diawu wunlongo wela butuka, wela tedudulungu Muana wu Nzambi.
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
Tala khombꞌaku Elizabeti, mamvandi widi mu buemba bu muana wu bakala mu bununu buandi. Niandi baba tedilanga sita weka mu ngondi andi yi nsambanu.
37 For not will be impossible with (God *N(k)O*) every declaration.
Bila kuisi ko diambu diela lembakana vanga Nzambi.
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.
Buna Maliya wuvutula: —Minu ndidi kisadi ki Pfumu. Bika mavangimina kuidi minu boso buididi mambu maku. Buna mbasi yimbika.
39 Having risen up then Mary in days these she went into the hill country with haste to a town of Judah
Mu bilumbu bina, Maliya wuyenda nsualu-nsualu ku divula didiku miongo, mu zunga ki Yuda.
40 and she entered into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
Wukota mu nzo Zakali ayi wuvana Elizabeti mboti.
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
Thangu Elizabeti kawa mbote yi Maliya muanꞌandi wunikuka mu vumu kiandi. Buna wuwala mu Pheve Yinlongo.
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.
Ayi wuyamikina mu mbembo yingolo: —Ngeyo widi wusakumunu va miudi baketo ayi muana widi mu vumu kiaku widi wusakumunu.
43 And from where to me this that may come the mother of the Lord of mine to me myself?
Buna kuevi kubedi diambu diadi ti ngudi yi Pfumu ama kiza kuidi minu e?
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.
Bila mu thangu nguilu mbotiꞌaku mu matu mama buna muana wunikukini mu vumu kiama mu diambu di khini.
45 And blessed [is] the [one] having believed that there will be a fulfillment to the [things] spoken to her from [the] Lord.
Khini kuidi nketo wowo wuwilukila bila mambu momo makamba Pfumu mu diambu diandi mela vangama.
46 And said Mary: Magnifies the soul of Mine the Lord,
Buna Maliya wukamba: Muelꞌama wunkembisanga nzitusu wu Pfumu
47 and rejoices the spirit of mine in God the Savior of mine,
ayi mpeve yama yilembo mona khini mu diambu di Nzambi, Mvulusi ama.
48 For He has looked upon the humiliation of the handmaiden of Him. Behold for from henceforth will count blessed me all the generations
Bila wubengudi thaluꞌandi va kisadi kiandi kikambulu mfunu, diawu zitsungi zioso ziela kuthedilanga nketo wu zikhini.
49 For has done to me (great [things] *N(k)O*) the Mighty One; And holy [is] the name of Him;
Bila Nzambi yi zingolo zioso wuphangidi mambu manneni Dizina diandi didi dinlongo.
50 And the mercy of Him [is] to generations (and *no*) (generations *N(k)O*) to those fearing Him;
Ayi mamboti mandi mela zingilanga mu tsungi ka tsungi, kuidi bobo ba kunkizikanga.
51 He has shown strength with [the] arm of Him; He has scattered [the] proud in [the] thought of heart of them;
Wumonikisidi zingolo ziandi mu koko kuandi, wusasikisidi batu badi luniemo mu mintima miawu
52 He has brought down rulers from thrones and exalted [the] humble;
Wukuludi batu ba lulendo mu bikundu biawu bi kipfumu ayi wunangikidi batu bobo badi balembama
53 [Those] hungering He has filled with good things and [those] being rich He has sent away empty;
Wuyukutisidi batu bobo baba nzala mu bima bimbote. Wusindika bamvuama mioko yi mioko
54 He has helped Israel [the] servant of Him remembering mercy,
Wusadisidi kisadi kiandi Iseli mu thebukulu yi moyo mu mambote mandi.
55 even as He spoke to the fathers of us, to Abraham and to the descendants of him to the age. (aiōn g165)
Banga buididi tsila yi kavana bakulu beto kuidi Abalahami ayi kuidi nkunꞌandi mu zithangu zioso. (aiōn g165)
56 Dwelt then Mary with her (about *N(k)O*) months three and returned to the home of her.
Tezo ki zingondi zitatu Mliya kavuandila kuidi Elizabeti, bosi wuvutuka ku nzoꞌandi.
57 Now Elizabeth was fulfilled the time to give birth for her and she bore a son.
Lumbu ki Elizabeti ki buta bu kifuana, wubuta muana wu bakala.
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.
Bakundi bandi ayi bibutu biandi bu bawa phila Pfumu kamonisina mambote mandi, bamona khini va kimosi ayi niandi.
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.
Muana bu kadukisa dinana di bilumbu, bayiza mu diambu di nzengulu yi nitu yi kibakala. Bawu boso bazola kuntedila Zakali banga dizina di siandi,
60 And answering the mother of him said; No, but he will be called John.
vayi nguandi wukamba ti: —Nana, dizina diandi Yowani.
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.
Vayi bawu bankamba: —Kadi mutu wumosi mu dikanda diaku kasi ko dizina diodi.
62 They were making signs then to the father of him the what maybe he would wish to be called (him. *N(k)O*)
Buna bayuvula dise, mu bidimbu, mu zaba dizina mbi katidi vana muana.
63 And having asked for a writing tablet he wrote saying; John is (the *ko*) name of him. And they marveled all.
Wulomba tini ki dibaya; muna kasonika ti: —Dizina diandi Yowani. Buna batu boso basimina.
64 Was opened then the mouth of him immediately and the tongue of him and he was speaking blessing God.
Muna thangu yina, munu andi wuzibudidi ayi ludimi luandi luniangukidi. Wuyolukidi ayi wukembisidi Nzambi.
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,
Batu babo bafikasana yawu bamona tsisi, ayi, bayolukilamambu beni mu tsi yoso yi miongo mi Yuda.
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.
Babo bawa nsamu beni balunda wawu mu mintima miawu ayi batuba: “A buna muana beni buevi kela bela e?” Bila Pfumu wuba yandi.
67 And Zechariah the father of him was filled with [the] Spirit Holy and prophesied saying;
Dise diandi Zakali wufuluka mu Pheve Yinlongo, diawu kabikudila ti:
68 Blessed [be] [the] Lord the God of Israel, because He has visited and He has performed redemption [on] the people of Him,
Nkembo kuidi Pfumu, Nzambi yi Iseli Bila wuyiza tala batu bandi ayi wuba kudidi
69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in (the *k*) house of David (the *k*) servant of Him,
Wututotudidi nkudi wu lulendo mu nkuna Davidi, kisadi kiandi.
70 even as He spoke through [the] mouth of the holy (of the *k*) of [old] age prophets of Him; (aiōn g165)
Banga bu kayolukila tona vana thonono mu miunu mi mimbikudi miandi minlongo: (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from [the] enemies of us and from [the] hand of all those hating us,
ti wela ku tukula mu mioko mi bambeni zieto; mu mioko mi batu bobo ba kutulendanga.
72 to fulfill mercy toward the fathers of us, and to remember [the] covenant holy of Him,
Mu diambu di dukisa mambote kuidi bakulu beto ayi mu diambu di tebukila nguizani andi yinlongo moyo;
73 [the] oath that He swore to Abraham the father of us,
ayi tebukila moyo ndefi yoyo kalevila nkulu eto Abalahami
74 to grant us without fear from [the] hand (of the *k*) enemies (of us *k*) having been saved to serve Him
mu kutuvana diluaku di kunsadila mu kambu tsisi bu kameni kutukula mu mioko mi bambeni zieto
75 in holiness and righteousness before Him (all the days *N(k)O*) (of the life *k*) of us.
mu bunlongo ayi mu busonga, mu bilumbu bieto bi luzingu, va ntualꞌandi.
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,
Ngeyo muana, wela tedudulungu Mbikudi wu Nzambi yizangama bila ngeyo wela tuaminina Pfumu ku ntualꞌandi mu diambu di kubika nzilꞌandi;
77 to give knowledge of salvation to the people of Him in forgiveness of [the] sins of them
mu diambu di zabikisa kuidi batu bandi ti Nzambi wumveni phulusu ayi wunlemvukidi masumu andi.
78 through [the] affections of compassion of God of us in which (will visit *N(k)O*) us [the] Sunrise from on high,
Bila Nzambi eto fulukidi mu diadi ayi mu mambote Diawu mbuetete yi nsuka yela totukila ku yilu mu diambu dieto
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.
mu diambu di kienzula bobo badi mu tombi ayi bobo badi mu kini ki lufua, ayi mu diambu di diaisa zithambi zieto mu nzila yi ndembama.
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.
Muana wuyunduka ayi wukinda mu mpeve. Bosi wuzingila mu bibuangu bisuama nate mu lumbu kioki kakimonisa va meso ma batu ba Iseli.
