Luke 1
1 Since many have undertaken to compile an account of the events that have been fulfilled among us,
Satria maro no efa nanoratra nandahatra tantara ny amin’ ny zavatra izay efa tanteraka tamintsika tokoa,
2 just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us,
araka izay efa noraisintsika natolotry ny vavolombelona izay sady nahita maso no efa mpitory ny teny hatramin’ ny voalohany:
3 it seemed good to me also, having carefully investigated all things from the beginning, to write an orderly account for yoʋ, most excellent Theophilus,
dia sitrako koa, rehefa nofotorako tsara ny zavatra rehetra hatramin’ ny niandohany, ny hanoratra izany aminao araka ny filaharany, ry Teofilo tsara indrindra,
4 so that yoʋ may know the certainty of the things about which yoʋ have been instructed.
mba hahafantaranao tsara fa mafy orina ny teny izay nampianarina anao.
5 In the days of Herod, the king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah who belonged to the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
Tamin’ ny andron’ i Heroda, mpanjakan’ i Jodia, nisy mpisorona anankiray atao hoe Zakaria, isan’ ny antokon’ i Abia; ary ny vadiny dia avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Arona, Elizabeta no anarany.
6 They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and regulations of the Lord.
Ary samy marina teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra izy mivady sady nitondra tena tsy nanan-tsiny araka ny didy sy ny fitsipika rehetra nomen’ ny Tompo.
7 But they had no children because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in their days.
Ary tsy nanan-janaka izy, fa momba Elizabeta; ary samy efa antitra izy mivady.
8 While Zechariah was serving as a priest before God when his division was on duty,
Ary nony nanao raharaham-pisoronana teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra Zakaria araka ny fifandimbiasan’ ny antokony,
9 he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
araka ny fanao amin’ ny fisoronana, dia anjarany araka ny filokana ny hiditra ao amin’ ny tempolin’ ny Tompo ka handoro ditin-kazo manitra.
10 At the hour of incense a great crowd was assembled outside, praying.
Ary ny vahoaka rehetra nitoetra teo ivelany nivavaka tamin’ ny ora fandoroana ny ditin-kazo manitra.
11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
Ary nisy anjelin’ ny Tompo niseho taminy teo ankavanan’ ny alitara fandoroana ny ditin-kazo manitra.
12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled, and fear fell upon him.
Ary nony nahita azy Zakaria, dia taitra loatra izy ka raiki-tahotra.
13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for yoʋr prayer has been heard. Yoʋr wife Elizabeth will bear yoʋ a son, and yoʋ shall name him John.
Fa hoy ilay anjely taminy: Aza matahotra, ry Zakaria; fa efa nohenoina ny fangatahanao, ka Elizabeta vadinao dia hiteraka zazalahy aminao, ary Jaona no hataonao anarany.
14 Yoʋ will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth,
Ary ho faly sy ho ravoravo ianao; ary maro no hifaly amin’ ny hahaterahany.
15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He must never drink any wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
Fa ho lehibe eo anatrehan’ ny Tompo izy ary tsy hisotro divay na toaka sady hofenoina ny Fanahy Masìna hatrany an-kibon-dreniny aza.
16 He will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God.
Ary maro amin’ ny Zanak’ isiraely no hampodiny amin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny.
17 And he will go before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers back to their children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
Ary izy handeha eo alohany amin’ ny fanahy sy ny herin’ i Elia mba hampody ny fon’ ny ray ho amin’ ny zanaka, ary ny tsy manoa ho amin’ ny fahendren’ ny marina, hamboatra firenena voaomana ho an’ ny Tempo.
18 Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I know this for certain? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in her days.”
Ary hoy Zakaria tamin’ ilay anjely: Inona no hahafantarako izany? fa izaho efa antitra, ary efa antitra koa ny vadiko.
19 The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God and was sent to speak to yoʋ and bring yoʋ this good news.
Ary ilay anjely namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Izaho no Gabriela, izay mitsangana eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra; ary nirahina hiteny aminao aho ka hilaza aminao izany teny mahafaly izany.
20 But behold, yoʋ will be silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because yoʋ did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at their appointed time.”
Koa, indro, ho moana ianao ka tsy hahay miteny ambara-pahatongan’ ny andro hisehoan’ izany zavatra izany, ho valin’ ny tsy ninoanao ny teniko, izay ho tanteraka amin’ ny fotoany.
21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering about his delay in the temple.
Ary ny olona dia niandry an’ i Zakaria ka gaga noho izy naharitra ela tao amin’ ny tempoly.
22 When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, because he kept making signs to them and remained unable to speak.
Kanjo rehefa nivoaka izy, dia tsy nahay niteny taminy; ary dia fantatry ny olona fa efa nahita fahitana tao amin’ ny tempoly izy; ary izy nanao baikon’ ny moana taminy, ary dia mbola moana ihany.
23 And when the days of his service had come to an end, he returned to his home.
Ary rehefa tapitra ny andro nanaovany fanompoam-pivavahana, dia lasa nody tany an-tranony izy.
24 After those days his wife Elizabeth conceived and kept herself in seclusion for five months, saying,
Ary taorian’ izany andro izany dia nitoe-jaza Elizabeta vadiny, dia niery dimy volana izy ka nanao hoe:
25 “The Lord has done this for me. In these days he has looked upon me with favor and taken away my reproach among the people.”
Izao no nataon’ ny Tompo tamiko tamin’ ny andro izay nitsinjovany hahafa-tondromaso ahy amin’ ny olona.
26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,
Ary tamin’ ny fahenim-bolana dia nirahin’ Andriamanitra ny anjely Gabriela ho any an-tanàna anankiray any Galilia atao hoe Nazareta,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.
ho any amin’ ny virijina anankiray, izay voafofo ho vadin’ ny lehilahy atao hoe Josefa, avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Davida; ary ny anaran’ ny virijina dia Maria.
28 The angel came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with yoʋ! Blessed are yoʋ among women!”
Ary nony niditra tao aminy ilay anjely, dia nanao hoe: Arahaba, ry ilay nohasoavina, ny Tompo momba anao.
29 But when Mary saw him, she was greatly perplexed by his statement and began wondering what sort of greeting this could be.
Ary taitra loatra izy noho ny teniny ka nieritreritra izay tokony ho hevitr’ izany fiarahabana izany.
30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for yoʋ have found favor with God.
Ary hoy ilay anjely taminy: Aza matahotra, ry Maria, fa efa nahita fitia tamin’ Andriamanitra ianao.
31 And behold, yoʋ will conceive in yoʋr womb and give birth to a son, and yoʋ shall name him Jesus.
Ary, indro, hitoe-jaza ianao ka hiteraka zazalahy, ary ny anarany dia hataonao hoe Jesosy.
32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.
Izy ho lehibe ka hatao hoe Zanaky ny Avo Indrindra; ary Jehovah Andriamanitra hanome Azy ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida rainy;
33 He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” (aiōn g165)
ary hanjaka amin’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba mandrakizay Izy; ary ny fanjakany tsy hanam-pahataperana. (aiōn g165)
34 Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”
Ary hoy Maria tamin’ ilay anjely: Hanao ahoana re no hahatanteraka izany, fa tsy mahalala lahy aho?
35 The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon yoʋ, and the power of the Most High will overshadow yoʋ; therefore the holy child that is to be born will be called the Son of God.
Ary ilay anjely namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Ny Fanahy Masìna ho tonga ao aminao, ary hisy herin’ ny Avo Indrindra hanaloka anao; koa ny Masìna Izay hateraka dia hatao hoe Zanak’ Andriamanitra.
36 And behold, yoʋr relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren.
Ary, indro, Elizabeta havanao dia efa mitoe-jaza koa, na dia efa antitra aza; ary efa mandray enina izy izao, izay natao hoe momba.
37 For nothing is impossible with God.”
Fa tsy hisy tsy ho tanteraka ny teny rehetra ataon’ Andriamanitra.
38 Then Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; may it happen to me according to yoʋr word.” And the angel left her.
Dia hoy Maria: Inty ny ankizivavin’ ny Tompo; aoka anie ho tonga amiko araka ny teninao. Dia nandao azy ilay anjely.
39 In those days Mary arose and went with haste to the hill country, to a town of Judah,
Ary Maria niainga tamin’ izany andro izany ka nandeha faingana ho any amin’ ny tany havoana, ho ao an-tanàna anankiray any Joda;
40 where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
ary niditra tao an-tranon’ i Zakaria izy ka niarahaba an’ i Elizabeta.
41 When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Ary rehefa ren’ i Elizabeta ny fiarahaban’ i Maria, dia nibitaka ny zaza tao an-kibony; ary nofenoina ny Fanahy Masìna Elizabeta,
42 Then she exclaimed with a loud voice, “Blessed are yoʋ among women, and blessed is the fruit of yoʋr womb!
dia niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery hoe izy: Voatahy samy vehivavy ianao, ary voatahy ny hateraky ny kibonao.
43 How has this happened to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Avy aiza no ahatongavan’ izao amiko, no mba vangian’ ny renin’ ny Tompoko aho?
44 For behold, when the sound of yoʋr greeting came into my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
Fa, indro, raha vao ren’ ny sofiko ny feon’ ny fiarahabanao, dia nibitaka noho ny hafaliana ny zaza ao an-kiboko.
45 Blessed is she who has believed, for what the Lord has spoken to her will be fulfilled.”
Ary sambatra ianao izay nino; fa hefaina izay zavatra nampilazain’ ny Tompo taminao.
46 Then Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord,
Ary hoy Maria: Ny foko mankalaza ny Tompo,
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
Ary ny fanahiko efa ravoravo tamin’ Andriamanitra, Mpamonjy ahy;
48 because he has looked favorably on the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed,
Fa efa nijery ny fahambani-toetry ny ankizivaviny Izy. Fa, indro, hatramin’ ny ankehitriny dia hataon’ ny taranaka rehetra ho sambatra aho.
49 because the Mighty One has done great things for me; holy is his name.
Fa ny Mahery efa nanao zavatra lehibe tamiko; Ary masìna ny anarany.
50 From generation to generation his mercy is upon those who fear him.
Ary ny famindram-pony dia amin’ izay matahotra Azy hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby.
51 He has done a mighty deed with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
Nanao asa lehibe tamin’ ny sandriny Izy; Nampihahaka ny mpiavonavona tamin’ ny fiheveran’ ny fony Izy.
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones and exalted the lowly.
Nampiala ny lehibe tamin’ ny seza fiandrianany Izy, Ary nanandratra ny ambany kosa.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things, but the rich he has sent away empty.
Ny noana novokisany soa; Fa ny manan-karena kosa nampialainy maina.
54 He has helped his servant Israel, remembering his mercy,
Niahy an’ isiraely mpanompony Izy, fa nahatsiaro ny famindram-pony
(Araka ny voalazany tamin’ ny razantsika), tamin’ i Abrahama sy ny taranany mandrakizay. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary remained with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned to her house.
Ary Maria nitoetra teo amin’ i Elizabeta tokony ho telo volana vao nody tany an-tranony.
57 Now the time was fulfilled for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son.
Ary tonga ny andro hahaveloman’ i Elizabeta, dia niteraka zazalahy izy.
58 Then her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.
Ary ny niara-monina taminy sy ny havany nandre fa efa nohalehibiazin’ ny Tompo ny famindram-pony taminy; dia niara-nifaly taminy ireo.
59 On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him Zechariah, after his father.
Ary tamin’ ny andro fahavalo dia tonga hamora ny zaza izy, ka efa saiky hataony hoe Zakaria araka ny anaran-drainy ny anarany.
60 But the child's mother responded, “No! He is to be called John.”
Fa ny reniny namaly ka nanao hoe: Tsy izany, fa hatao hoe Jaona izy.
61 But they said to her, “There is no one among yoʋr relatives who has that name.”
Fa hoy izy ireo taminy: Tsy misy na dia iray akory aza amin’ ny havanao izay manana izany anarana izany.
62 Then they began making signs to the child's father to find out what he wanted to name him.
Ary nanao baikon’ ny moana tamin’ ny rainy iry ireo, izay tokony ho tiany hatao anarany.
63 So he asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.
Ary nangataka fàfana izy ka nanoratra hoe: Jaona no anarany. Dia gaga avokoa izy rehetra.
64 At once Zechariah's mouth was opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak, blessing God.
Ary dia nisokatra niaraka tamin’ izay ny vavany, ka afaka niteny ny lelany; dia niteny izy ka nidera an’ Andriamanitra.
65 Then fear came upon all who dwelt around them, and in the entire hill country of Judea all these things were being discussed.
Dia raiki-tahotra izay rehetra niara-monina taminy; ary niely teny amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Jodia rehetra ny lazan’ izany rehetra izany.
66 All who heard about this laid it up in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child become?” And the hand of the Lord was with him.
Ary izay rehetra nandre dia nandatsaka izany tam-pony ka nanao hoe: Ho zaza hanao ahoana re io? Fa ny tanan’ ny Tompo nomba azy.
67 Then Zechariah, the child's father, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
Ary dia feno ny Fanahy Masìna Zakaria rainy ka naminany hoe:
68 “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited his people and brought them redemption.
Isaorana anie ny Tompo Andriamanitry ny Isiraely; Fa nitsinjo ny olony Izy ka nanao fanavotana ho azy,
69 He has raised up for us a horn of salvation in the house of his servant David
Ary nanangana tandro-pamonjena ho antsika Amin’ ny taranak’ i Davida mpanompony Izy
(Araka izay nampilazainy ny mpaminaniny masìna hatramin’ ny fahagola), (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us—
Dia famonjena antsika amin’ ny fahavalontsika, sy amin’ ny tànan’ izay rehetra mankahala antsika;
72 to deal mercifully with our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,
Manefa famindram-po amin’ ny razantsika Izy Sady mahatsiaro ny fanekeny masìna,
73 the oath he swore to Abraham our father, to grant us
Dia ny fianianana izay nianianany tamin’ i Abrahama razantsika,
74 that we, having been rescued from the hands of our enemies, might serve him without fear,
Hanao izay hahazoantsika hanompo Azy tsy amin-tahotra, Satria afaka amin’ ny fahavalontsika isika,
75 in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our lives.
Amin’ ny fahamasinana sy ny fahamarinana eo anatrehany amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainantsika.
76 And yoʋ, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for yoʋ will go before the presence of the Lord to prepare his ways,
Ary ianao, ry zaza, dia hatao hoe mpaminanin’ ny Avo Indrindra; Fa hialoha eo anatrehan’ ny Tompo ianao hamboatra ny lalany.
77 to give his people knowledge of salvation through the remission of their sins,
Hanome ny olony ny fahalalam-pamonjena amin’ ny famelana ny helony,
78 through the tender mercy of our God, by which the sunrise has visited us from on high,
Noho ny halehiben’ ny famindram-pon’ Andriamanitsika, izay hiposahan’ ny mazava avy any amin’ ny avo ho antsika.
79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
Hamirapiratra amin’ izay mipetraka ao amin’ ny maizina sy ao amin’ ny aloky ny fahafatesana, Hanitsy ny diantsika ho amin’ ny lalam-piadanana.
80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
Ary ny zazakely nitombo ka nihahery tam-panahy; ary nitoetra tany an-efitra izy ambara-pahatongan’ ny andro nisehoany tamin’ ny Isiraely.
