Luke 1
1 BECAUSE many have willed to record histories of those transactions of which we are persuaded, according to that which they have delivered to us,
Aicae salakah kaom tangtang hmuen kawng thuihaih maeto pacoeng maeto kamtomh poe ah suek hanah paroeai ca tarik kaminawk oh o boeh,
2 (they) who from the first were eye-witnesses and ministers of his doctrine;
nihcae loe tangsuek na hoi hnukung ah oh o, tamthanglok toksah kaminawk mah, aicae khae thuih ih lok baktih toengah;
3 it appeared also to me, that having been intimately near to them all, I should record every thing in its order for thee, illustrious Theophile,
kahoih koek Theophila, tangsuek na hoi kaom hmuennawk to kakoep ah thaikop boih moe, hmuen kaom maeto pacoeng maeto kamtomh poe ah, nangcae khaeah tarik nahaeloe hoi tih, tiah poekhaih ka tawnh,
4 that thou mayest know the truth of those doctrines in which thou hast been instructed.
to tiah ni ang patuk o ih lok to kahoihah na panoek o tih.
5 THERE was in the days of Herodes, king of the Jihudoyee, a certain priest whose name was Zakaria, of the service of the house of Abia, and his wife (was) of the daughters of Aharun; her name was Elishaba.
Judea siangpahrang, Herod dung ah, Zakaria, tiah ahmin kaom qaima maeto oh, anih loe Abijah ih acaeng ah oh moe, a zu Elizabeth loe Aaron ih acaeng ah oh.
6 And they were both just before Aloha, and walked in all his commandments, and in the righteousness of the Lord, without blame.
Nihnik loe Sithaw hmaa ah katoeng kami ah oh hoi moe, Angraeng mah paek ih kaalok hoi sak han koi toknawk boih coek koi kaom ai ah a sak hoi.
7 But they had no son because Elishaba was barren, and both had become many in their days.
Elizabeth loe caa kak pongah nawkta tawn hoi ai, nihnik loe saning coeh hoi parai boeh.
8 But it was while he was acting-as-priest in the order of his ministry before Aloha,
Anih mah angmah ih kaminawk hoi Sithaw hmaa ah qaima toksakhaih tue phak naah,
9 according to the custom of the priesthood he came to set on incense, and entered into the temple of the Lord.
qaimanawk mah sakzong ih atawk baktih toengah, Angraeng tempul thungah akun moe, hmuihoih thlaekhaih loe anih ih tok ah oh.
10 And all the congregation of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
Hmuihoih thlaek nathuem ah, paroeai kaminawk loe tasa bangah lawkthuih o.
11 And there appeared to him, to Zakaria, the angel of the Lord, standing on the right hand of the altar of incense.
To naah anih khaeah Angraeng ih van kami maeto amtueng moe, hmuihoih thlaekhaih hmaicam bantang bangah angdoet pae.
12 And Zakaria trembled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
Zakaria mah anih to hnuk naah zit moe, tasoehhaih hoiah oh.
13 And the angel said to him, Fear not, Zakaria, for thy prayer is heard, and thy wife Elishaba shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Juchanon.
Toe van kami mah anih khaeah, Zakaria, zii hmah: na lawkthuihaih Sithaw mah thaih boeh; na zu Elizabeth mah capa maeto na sah pae tih, anih ih ahmin to Johan, tiah sak han oh.
14 And to thee shall be joy and exultation, and many shall rejoice in his birth:
Anghoehaih hoi oephaih to na tawn tih; anih tapen pongah paroeai kaminawk loe anghoe o tih.
15 for he shall be great before the Lord, and wine and strong liquor shall he not drink, and with the Spirit of Holiness shall he be filled, from the womb of his mother.
Anih loe Angraeng mikhnuk ah kalen ah om ueloe, misurtui hoi paqui thaih koi hmuen roe nae mak ai; anih loe amno zok thung hoi kamtong Kacai Muithla hoiah koi tih.
16 And many of the sons of Isroel shall he convert to the Lord their Aloha.
Anih mah paroeai Israel kaminawk to angmacae ih Angraeng khaeah angqoisak tih.
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and the power of Elia the prophet, to turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and those who believe not to the knowledge of the righteous, and to prepare for the Lord a perfect people.
Anih mah ampanawk ih palungthin to a caanawk khaeah angqoisak tih, lok tahngai ai kaminawk to katoeng kaminawk ih palunghahaih loklam bangah angqoisak ueloe, Angraeng hanah kaminawk omsak coek tih, anih loe Elijah ih palungthin, thacakhaih hoiah Angraeng hmaa ah caeh tih, tiah a naa.
18 And Zakaria said to the angel, How shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife many in her days.
Zakaria mah van kami khaeah, Hae hmuen hae kawbangmaw ka panoek thai tih? Kai loe mitong boeh moe, ka zu doeh mitong boeh, tiah a naa.
19 And the angel answered and said to him, I am Gabriel, I stand before Aloha, and I have been sent to speak with thee and to announce to thee these things.
To naah van kami mah anih khaeah, Kai loe Sithaw hmaa ah angdoe, Gabriel ah ka oh; lok kang thuih moe, kahoih hae anghoehaih tamthangnawk patuek han ih ni nang khaeah ang patoeh.
20 From henceforth thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be able to speak, till the day when these things shall be done, because thou hast not believed these words, which shall be fulfilled in their time.
Khenah, atue phak naah akoep han koi kang thuih ih loknawk to na tang ai pongah, hae hmuennawk ohhaih ni pha ai karoek to, lok na aa tih, tiah a naa.
21 But the people were standing, and expecting Zakaria. and were wondering at his delay in the temple.
Kaminawk mah Zakariah to zing o, anih loe tempul thungah akra parai boeh pongah dawnrai o.
22 But when Zakaria had come forth, he could not speak to them; and he made them understand that he had seen a vision in the temple, and signing he signed to them, and remained dumb.
Anih tasa bang tacawt naah loe, kaminawk khaeah lokthui thai ai boeh: anih loe lok apae ai, kaminawk khaeah ban hoiah ni angmathaih a sak pae: to pongah kaminawk mah anih loe tempul thungah hnuksakhaih a hnuk kalang mue, tiah poek o.
23 And when the days of his service were fulfilled, he came to his house.
Anih loe a toksakhaih boeng pacoengah, angmah im ah amlaem.
24 And it was after those days Elishaba his wife conceived, and she secluded herself five months.
To ninawk boeng pacoengah a zu Elizabeth to zokpom; anih loe khrah pangato thung imthung ah anghawk,
25 And she said, These things hath the Lord done for me in the days of my desolation, to take away my reproach from among the children of men.
anih mah ang khet nathuem ah, kaminawk salakah kai kasae thuihaih to takhoe ving hanah, Angraeng mah kai hanah hae hmuen hae sak boeh, tiah a thuih.
26 BUT in the sixth month Gabriel the angel was sent from before Aloha to Galila, to a city whose name (is) Natsrath,
Elizabeth zokpomhaih khrah tarukto phak naah, Sithaw mah van kami Gabriel to Kalili prae, Nazareth vangpui ah kaom,
27 unto a Virgin espoused to a man whose name was Jauseph, of the house of David, and the name of the Virgin was Mariam.
David imthung takoh Joseph, tiah ahmin kaom kami mah hamh ih tangla cuem khaeah patoeh; tangla kacuem ih ahmin loe Meri.
28 And the angel entered to her, and said to her, Peace to thee, full of grace! our Lord is with thee, thou blessed among women!
Anih khaeah van kami to caeh moe, Kasang koek tahamhoih hnu kami, anghoe ah! Sithaw loe nang hoi nawnto oh: nang loe nongpatanawk thungah tahamhoih kami ah na oh, tiah a naa.
29 But she, when she saw, was troubled at his words, and reasoned what this salutation was.
Meri mah anih to hnuk naah, dawnrai, a palung thung hoiah kawbaktih kami tapringhaih lok maw vai, tiah poek.
30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mariam, for thou hast found favour with Aloha.
Toe van kami mah anih khaeah, Meri, Zii hmah: nang loe Sithaw mah palung tong ih kami ah na oh boeh.
31 For, behold, thou shalt conceive, and shalt bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jeshu.
Khenah, zok na pomh ueloe, caa nongpa maeto na sah tih, anih ih ahmin loe JESU, tiah sak han oh.
32 He will be great, and the Son of the Most High shall he be called, and Aloha the Lord shall give unto him the throne of David his father.
Anih loe paroeai len tih, Sang koek Capa, tiah kawk o tih: Angraeng Sithaw mah Ampa David ih angraeng tangkhang to anih khaeah paek tih:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jakub for ever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
Anih mah Jakob imthung to dungzan ah uk tih; a prae loe boenghaih om mak ai, tiah a naa. (aiōn g165)
34 And Mariam said to the angel, How shall this be, because a man is not known to me?
To naah Meri mah van kami khaeah, Hae hmuen loe kawbangmaw angcoeng thai tih? Nongpa hoi ka om ai bae, tiah a naa.
35 The angel answered and said to her, The Spirit of Holiness shall come, and the Power of the Most High shall shadow over thee; on account of this He who (shall be) born from thee is the Holy, and the Son of Aloha shall be called.
Van kami mah anih khaeah, Kacai Muithla na nuiah om tih, Kasang koek sakthaihaih tha mah na oh haih tih: to pongah nang khaeah tapen han koi Ciimcai Capa loe Sithaw Capa, tiah kawk tih.
36 And behold, Elishaba thy kinswoman, she also beareth a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her, -to her who is called the barren.
Khenah, nam nawkamya ah kaom Elizabeth doeh mitong pacoengah caa nongpa maeto pomh boeh: anih loe caa kak, toe vaihi zokpomhaih khrah tarukto oh boeh.
37 For nothing is difficult to Aloha.
Sithaw han angcoeng thai ai hmuen tidoeh om ai, tiah a naa.
38 And Mariam said, Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord, be it unto me as thou hast said. And the angel went from her.
To naah Meri mah, Khenah, kai loe Angraeng ih toksah nongpata ah ni ka oh; na thuih ih lok baktih toengah ka nuiah om nasoe, tiah a naa. To pacoengah van kami mah anih to caehtaak.
39 AND Mariam arose in those days, and went with haste to the mountain to a city of Jehud;
Meri loe angthawk moe, Judea prae mae nuiah kaom vangpui maeto ah karangah caeh;
40 and she entered into the house of Zakaria, and saluted Elishaba.
Zakariah ih imthung ah akun moe, Elizabeth to lok tapring.
41 And it was that when Elishaba heard the salutation of Mariam, the infant leaped in her womb. And she was filled with the Spirit of Holiness;
Meri mah tapring ih lok to Elizabeth mah thaih naah, a zok thung ih nawkta to angtawt; to naah Elizabeth loe Kacai Muithla hoiah koi:
42 and she cried with a loud voice, and said unto Mariam, Blessed art thou among women, And blessed is the fruit of thy womb!
anih mah, Nang loe nongpatanawk thungah tahamhoih kami ah na oh, na zok thung ih athaih doeh tahamhoih.
43 Whence unto me is this, That the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Tipongah maw ka Angraeng ih amno ah ohhaih to kai khaeah ang paek?
44 For, lo, as fell the voice of thy salutation on my ears, For great Joy leaped the infant in my womb.
Khenah, nang tapringhaih lok to ka thaih naah, anghoe loiah ka zok thung ih nawkta to amloep tahang.
45 And happy is she who hath believed, For there is a fulfilment of those things which have been spoken to her from the Lord.
Angraeng khae hoi thuih ih loknawk loe anih khaeah akoep tih, tiah tanghaih tawn nongpata loe tahamhoih, tiah tha hoiah a hangh.
46 And Mariam said: My soul doth magnify the Lord,
Meri mah, Ka hinghaih pakhra mah Angraeng to pakoeh moe,
47 And my spirit rejoiceth in Aloha my Saviour,
pahlongkung Sithaw khaeah palung anghoehaih ka tawnh.
48 Who hath looked upon the lowliness of his handmaid: For, behold, from now all generations shall give blessedness to me.
Poek kahnaem a tamna nongpata to anih mah khet boeh: khenah, vaihi hoi kamtong kaminawk boih mah tahamhoih kami, tiah na kawk o tih.
49 Because he hath done for me great things, he who is mighty, And holy is his name.
Thacak kami mah kai hanah kalen parai hmuennawk to ang sak pae boeh; anih ih ahmin loe ciimcai.
50 And his grace is for ages and generations Upon those who fear him.
Anih palungnathaih loe anih zithaih tawn kaminawk nuiah adung maeto pacoeng maeto khoek to oh.
51 He hath wrought victory with his arm; He hath scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
Anih mah a ban thacakhaih to amtuengsak moe, poeksang kaminawk to anghaehsak phaeng.
52 He hath overturned the mighty from their thrones, And hath exalted the humble.
Thacak kaminawk to angmacae ih angraeng tangkhang nui hoiah pakhrak tathuk moe, poek pahnaem kaminawk to tapom tahang.
53 The hungry he hath satisfied with good things, And the rich he hath sent away empty.
Zok amthlam kaminawk to kahoih hmuennawk hoiah zok amhahsak moe, angraengnawk to bangkrai ah patoeh ving.
54 He hath helped Isroel his servant, And hath remembered his mercy;
A palungnathaih to pahnet ai pongah a tamna Israel to abomh;
aicae ampanawk khaeah a thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Abraham hoi a caanawk khaeah doeh boeng ai ah a thuih, tiah thuih. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mariam stayed with Elishaba three months, and returned to her house.
Meri loe Elizabeth hoi khrah thumto oh pacoengah, angmah im ah amlaem.
57 BUT to Elishaba had come the time that she should give birth, and she gave birth to a son.
Elizabeth nawkta tapenhaih tue phak naah loe, anih mah caa nongpa maeto sak.
58 And her neighbours and the sons of her family heard that Aloha had magnified his grace upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
Kawkruk maw Angraeng mah a palungnathaih anih nuiah amtuengsak, tiah imtaeng kaminawk hoi angmah ih nawkamyanawk mah thaih o naah, anih to anghoe o haih.
59 And it was the eighth day, and they came to circumcise the child; and they called him by the name of his father, Zakaria.
Ni tazetto naah loe tangzat hin aah hanah nawkta to a caeh o haih; nihcae mah anih ih ahmin loe ampa ih ahmin palawk hanah Zakariah, tiah sak han oh, tiah a thuih o.
60 And his mother answered and said to them, Not so; but he shall be called Juchanon.
Amno mah, to tih na ai ni; anih ih ahmin loe Johan, tiah sak han oh, tiah a naa.
61 And they said to her, No man in thy kindred is called by this name.
Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Na caengnawk thungah hae baktih ahmin hae om ai, tiah a naa o.
62 And they signed to his father (to show) how he willed they should call him.
To pongah nihcae mah nawkta ih ahmin kawbangmaw sak han, tiah ampa khaeah ban hoi angmathaih a sak pae moe, a dueng o.
63 And he requested a tablet, and wrote, and said, Juchanan is his name. And every man wondered.
To naah anih mah ca trikhaih thlung kangphaek to hnik moe, Anih ih ahmin loe Johan, tiah tarik: to naah nihcae dawnrai o boih.
64 And immediately his mouth and his tongue were opened, and he spake, and blessed Aloha.
Akra ai ah anih ih pakha to am-ongh pae moe, palai doeh name pae roep, anih loe lok apaeh moe, Sithaw to pakoeh.
65 And there was fear upon all around them; and in all the hill country of Jehud were these things spoken.
To tiah hmuen to oh pacoengah nihcae taengah kaom kaminawk boih nuiah zithaih to phak: hae tiah kaom hmuen kawng to Judea prae mae nuiah kaom kaminawk boih mah thuih o.
66 And all who heard reasoned in their hearts, and said, What is this child to be? And the hand of the Lord was with him.
To lok thaih kaminawk boih mah, Angraeng ih ban anih nuiah oh pongah, hae nawkta loe kawbaktih nawkta ah maw om tih vai? tiah palung thung hoiah a poek o.
67 And Zakaria his father was filled with the Spirit of Holiness, and he prophesied, and said:
Ampa Zakariah loe Kacai Muithla hoiah koi moe,
68 Blessed be the Lord, the Aloha of Israel; For he hath visited his people, and wrought for him redemption,
Israel kaminawk ih Sithaw loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe; anih loe angmah ih kaminawk khaeah paqaih moe, angmah ih kaminawk to akrang boeh,
69 And hath raised up for us the horn of redemption In the house of David his servant;
a tamna David imthung ah aicae hanah pahlonghaih takii maeto tacawtsak boeh;
long amtong tangsuek na hoiah angmah ih kaciim tahmaanawk ih pakha hoi thuih ih lok baktih toengah: (aiōn g165)
71 That we should be delivered from our adversaries, And from the hand of all who hate us;
aicae loe aimacae misa hoi aicae hnuma kaminawk boih ih ban thung hoiah a loih o tih;
72 To perform his grace with our fathers, And to remember his holy covenant;
aicae ampanawk khaeah lokkam ih palungnathaih to amtuengsak moe, angmah ih kaciim lokmaihaih to pahnet han ai ah,
73 The oath which he sware to Abraham our father, -
anih loe aicae ampa Abraham khaeah lokkamhaih to sak boeh:
74 That to us he would grant That, being delivered from the hand of our adversaries, Without fear we might serve before him
zithaih tawn ai ah a hing o na thung, ciimcaihaih hoi toenghaih hoiah anih ih tok to a sak o hanah, aimacae misa ban thung hoiah aicae to na loisak tih.
75 All our days in righteousness.
76 And thou, child, the Prophet of the Most High Shalt thou be called; For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, And thou shalt prepare his way;
Nawkta, nang loe, Kasang koek ih tahmaa ah na oh, tiah kawk o tih: nang loe Anih ih loklam paroep hanah Angraeng hmaa ah na caeh tih;
77 To give the knowledge of salvation to his people In the forgiveness of their sins,
nihcae zaehaihnawk tahmenhaih rang hoiah Anih ih kaminawk khaeah pahlonghaih kawng panoeksak hanah,
78 Through the compassions of the grace of our Aloha; Whereby the morn-splendour shall visit us from on high,
van ranui ih ni bae baktih toengah, aicae Sithaw palungnathaih loe aicae khaeah ni baktiah bae tih boeh;
79 To illumine those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death. And to direct our feet into the way of peace.
khoving thung hoi duekhaih tahlip tlim ah anghnu kaminawk to aanghaih paek moe, misa angdaehhaih loklam ah aicae khok takansakhaih ni loe angzoh boeh, tiah lok taphong.
80 And the child grew, and was strong in the spirit, and was in the desert till the day of his manifestation unto Isroel.
Nawkta loe poekhaih palungthin thacakhaih hoiah qoeng tahang, anih loe Israel kaminawk khaeah amtueng ai karoek to praezaek ah khosak.
