Luke 1
1 Since many have undertaken to compile an account of the events that have been fulfilled among us,
Bhandu bhabhagwinjinji bhashilajililanga kujandika ukoto ngani ja indu yatendekaga munkumbi gwetu.
2 just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us,
Bhashinkujandikanga malinga shitwatagulilwe na bhandunji bhagabhweninji pugatendekaga, kuumila kundandubho na bhalunguyangaga lilobhe lya a Nnungu.
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,
Kwa nneyo, mmakulungwa a Teopili, numbe nne ngakagulileje ukoto yowe kuumila kundandubho, njibhona inapwaa ninnjandishile shiyashite tendeka,
4 so that yoʋ may know the certainty of the things about which yoʋ have been instructed.
nkupinga na mmwe muumanye ukweli gwa yowe innjigenywe ila.
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.
Mobha ga upalume gwa a Elode ku Yudea, bhashinkupagwa bhaabhishila bhamo lina lyabho a Shakalia, bha likundi lya a Abhiya. Akongobhabho pubhashemwaga a Lishabheti bha shipinga sha a Aluni, bhakulungwa bhaabhishila.
6 They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and regulations of the Lord.
Bhowe bhanaabhili bhashinkubhanganga bhandunji bha aki kwa a Nnungu, bhalikagulilanga amuli na malajilo ga Bhakulungwa gwangali kugambwa.
7 But they had no children because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in their days.
Ikabheje bhakakwetenjeje bhana, pabha a Lishabheti pubhaaliji nannii na bhanaabhili pubhalinginji bhakongopanji kaje.
8 While Zechariah was serving as a priest before God when his division was on duty,
Lyubha limo lya nnimbu gwa liengo lya bhishila gwa a Shakalia nniekalu,
9 he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
malinga shigwaliji nkubho gwabhonji, a Shakalia bhashinkuagulwa kwa shikoma, bhajinjile nniekalu bhakatutumye lubhani.
10 At the hour of incense a great crowd was assembled outside, praying.
Akuno lugwinjili lowe lwa bhandu pubhalinginji palanga bhalikwaajuganga a Nnungu, malanga ga tutumya lubhani.
11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
Malaika jwa Bhakulungwa akwaakoposhelaga, gwabhajimile nkono nnilo gwa shitala sha tutumishiya lubhani.
12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled, and fear fell upon him.
A Shakalia bhakammoneje malaika jwa a Nnungu jula gubhatengwishe na jogopa.
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.
Malaika jwa a Nnungu jula gwabhalugulile, “A Shakalia, nnajogope pabha kujuga kwenu kupilikenwe, na akongobhenu a Lishabheti, shibhankolele mwana jwannume, na mmwe shimunsheme lina lyakwe a Yowana.”
14 Yoʋ will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth,
“Mpinga kwiinonyela kwa kaje na bhandu bhabhagwinji bhapinga angalilanga kubhelekwa kwakwe.
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.
Shabhe jwankulungwa pa meyo ga Bhakulungwa, akapinjikwa kung'wa togwa wala ukana, apinga gumbaywa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, kuumila nnutumbo lwa akwabhe.
16 He will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God.
Shaabhatendebhuyanje bha Ishilaeli bhabhagwinji bhaabhujilanje Bhakulungwa a Nnungu bhabhonji.
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.”
Shaalongolele pa meyo ga Bhakulungwa alikomboywa na mbumu na mashili malinga a Eliya. Apinga lundanya mitima ja ashainamundu na bhana bhabhonji, apinga kwaatendanga bhakakwaakundanga a Nnungu kubha na ng'aniyo ya aki, nkupinga abhaalashiye Bhakulungwa bhandunji shibhabhanganje tayali kwaaposhela.”
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.”
A Shakalia gubhammushiye malaika jula, “Yeneyo nne pushiniimanye bhuli? Nne nankongopa na akangu na bhalabho bhakongopele.”
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.
Malaika jwa a Nnungu gwabhalugulile, “Nne Gabhulieli, ntumishi ngujima pameyo ga a Nnungu, njitumwa kumelekete na mmwe, nintashiye jene ngani ja mmboneji.
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.”
Pabha mmangakulupalila gapinga koposhela kwa malanga gakwega, shimme bhubhu, nkakombola kubheleketa mpaka lyubha pushigakoposhele gunimmalanjilega.”
21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering about his delay in the temple.
Penepo bhandu bhaalindililangaga a Shakalia gubhakanganigwenje kwa nndi bhashikabhiya Nniekalu mula.
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.
Bhakakoposheje palanga bhakakombweleje kubheleketa nabhonji. Gubhamumanyinji kuti ipali ibhaiweni Nniekalu mula. Ikabheje gubhapundile bheleketa nabhonji kwa ilangulo ya makono, pabha bhashinkubha bhubhu.
23 And when the days of his service had come to an end, he returned to his home.
Nnimbu gwabho gwa liengo lya bhishila ukamaleje, a Shakaliya gubhabhujile kumui.
24 After those days his wife Elizabeth conceived and kept herself in seclusion for five months, saying,
Pangakabhika a Lishabheti gubhajukwite shitumbo. Gubhatemi pamui miyei nng'ano.
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.”
Bhalinkuti, “Nnei ni shibhandendele Bhakulungwa bhakamoneje, bhashinjosheya oni jangu, jinakolaga pa meyo ga bhandunji.”
26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,
Mwei gwa shita gwa shitumbo sha a Lishabheti, malaika jwa a Nnungu Gabhulieli ashinkutumwa na a Nnungu ajende ku Nashaleti ja ku Galilaya,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.
kwa a mwali bhaishana bhashemwaga a Malia, ntemela gwa a Yoshepu bha shipinga sha a Daudi.
28 The angel came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with yoʋ! Blessed are yoʋ among women!”
Malaika jula gwabhajendele, nikwaabhalanjila, “Shalamu shenu mmwe a Malia! Nshipegwa nema yaigwinji! Bhakulungwa pubhali na mmwe.”
29 But when Mary saw him, she was greatly perplexed by his statement and began wondering what sort of greeting this could be.
A Malia bhakapilikaneje gene malobhego gubhatengwishe kaje, nikwiibhuya sha muntima, shene shalamushi malombolelo gakwe nndi?
30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for yoʋ have found favor with God.
Malaika jula gwabhalugulile, “Nnajogope a Malia, pabha Bhakulungwa bhashikumpa nema.
31 And behold, yoʋ will conceive in yoʋr womb and give birth to a son, and yoʋ shall name him Jesus.
Pilikana! Shinnjukute shitumbo, na shinkole mwana jwannume na munsheme lina lyakwe Yeshu.
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.
Jwenejo apingabha jwankulungwa na shashemwe Mwana jwa bhali Kunani Kaje. Bhakulungwa a Nnungu shibhampe shitengu sha upalume sha anaigwe a Daudi.
33 He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” (aiōn g165)
Kwa nneyo shabhe Nkulungwa jwa shipinga sha a Yakobho pitipiti na upalume gwakwe ukakola mpelo.” (aiōn g165)
34 Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”
A Malia gubhammushiye malaika, “Pushiitendeshe yeneyo bhuli, na nne niibhelele mwali nng'ishana nganabhe kummanya jwannume?”
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.
Malaika jula gwajangwile, “Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo shannjiile na mashili ga Bhakulungwa a Nnungu shiganng'unishile mbuti shiwili, kwa nneyo, mwana shabhelekwejo, shashemwe jwa Ukonjelo, Mwana jwa a Nnungu.
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.
Na mmumanye kuti nkali alongo ajenu a Lishabheti na ukongopa gwabho bhajukwite shitumbo sha mwana jwannume, aguno mwei gwabho gwa nng'ano na gumo kwa bhene bhamanyishe na bhandu kuti anannii.
37 For nothing is impossible with God.”
Pabha shakwa shikaakomboleka kwa a Nnungu.”
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.
A Malia gubhashite, “Nne nantumwa jwa Bhakulungwa, ibhe malinga shiumalanjile.” Bhai malaika jula gwajabhwile.
39 In those days Mary arose and went with haste to the hill country, to a town of Judah,
Gakapiteje malanga gashoko, a Malia gubhapite shangu ku shilambo shimo sha kuitumbi ya ku Yudea.
40 where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
Kweneko gubhajinjile nnyumba ja a Shakalia, nikwaalamushila a Lishabheti.
41 When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
A Lishabheti bhakapilikaneje lamushilwa na a Malia, shitumbo sha a Lishabheti shikutukulaga nkwiinonyela. Na bhalabho a Lishabheti Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo akwaagumbalaga,
42 Then she exclaimed with a loud voice, “Blessed are yoʋ among women, and blessed is the fruit of yoʋr womb!
nigubhabhelekete kwa lilobhe lya utiya, “Nshipegwa mboka kupunda bhanabhakongwe bhowe, na mwana junkupinga kunkolajo ashipegwa mboka.
43 How has this happened to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Kwa bhuli nne njikuywa nnei, nkali anyinamundu bha Bhakulungwa bhangu bhang'owele?
44 For behold, when the sound of yoʋr greeting came into my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
Nnole! Ngapilikanejepe kulamushila kwenu, shitumbo shangu shikutukulaga nkwiinonyela.
45 Blessed is she who has believed, for what the Lord has spoken to her will be fulfilled.”
Mbaya mmwe nkulupalile kuti yene immalanjilwe na Bhakulungwa ila shiitendeshe.”
46 Then Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord,
Na bhalabho a Malia gubhashite, “Ntima gwangu unakwaakuya Bhakulungwa,
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
Na mbumu yangu inakwiinonyela ligongo lya a Nnungu Bhaatapula bhangu.
48 because he has looked favorably on the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed,
Pabha bhashikuubhona ungakola mashili uka ntumishi jwabho. Kwa nneyo kuumila nnaino ibheleko yowe shibhanjemanje akwete mboka,
49 because the Mighty One has done great things for me; holy is his name.
Pabha a Nnungu Bhakwete Mashili, bhashindendela gamakulungwa. Na lina lyabho ni bha ukonjelo.
50 From generation to generation his mercy is upon those who fear him.
Bhenebho bhanakwaabhonelanga shiya bhene bhakwaajogopanga bhala, kuumila lubheleko mpaka lubheleko.
51 He has done a mighty deed with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
Pabha kwa mashili ga nkono gwabho bhashitenda gamakulungwa. Bhashikwapwilinganyanga bhakwetenje mbwinya mmitima jabhonji,
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones and exalted the lowly.
Bhashikwaatuluyanga bhapalume mwitengu yabhonji ya upalume, Nikwaakweyanga bhaitimalikenje.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things, but the rich he has sent away empty.
Bhakwetenje shibhanga bhashikwaatendanga bhajukutanje ya mmbone, Ikabhe matajili bhashikwaalekanga bhapwilingane gwangali shoshowe.
54 He has helped his servant Israel, remembering his mercy,
Bhashikunnjangutila ntumishi jwabho Ishilaeli, Bhalikumbushila miadi ja kummonela shiya.
Kwa a Bhulaimu na lubheleko lwabho pitipiti, Malinga shibhaabhalanjilenje bhanangulungwa bhetu.” (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary remained with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned to her house.
A Malia nigubhatemi na a Lishabheti malinga myei jitatu, nigubhabhujile kunngwabho.
57 Now the time was fulfilled for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son.
Mobha ga kwigopola a Lishabheti gakaishileje, gubhaigopwele mwana jwannume.
58 Then her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.
Ashaatami ajabho na ashaalongo ajabho bhakapilikananjeje, kuti Bhakulungwa bhaabhonele shiya sha kaje a Lishabheti, gubhaengelelenje pamo na bhenebho.
59 On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him Zechariah, after his father.
Lyubha lya nane gubhaikengenenje kukuntaga mwana unyago, nigubhapinjilenje kumpa lina lya ainagwe, Shakalia.
60 But the child's mother responded, “No! He is to be called John.”
Ikabheje akwabhe nigubhakanile, bhalinkuti, “Nngabha, ikabhe shashemwe a Yowana.”
61 But they said to her, “There is no one among yoʋr relatives who has that name.”
Gubhaalugulilenje, “Pakuti jwakwa mundu muulongo gwenu ashemwa lyene linalyo!”
62 Then they began making signs to the child's father to find out what he wanted to name him.
Bhai gubhaabhushiyenje ainagwe kwa ilangulo ya makono bhamumanyanje lina lyashi libhapinga kumpa mwanagwabho.
63 So he asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.
Numbe a Shakalia gubhajujile shibhao sha jandika, gubhajandishe nnei, “Lina lyakwe a Yowana.” Gubhakanganigwenje bhowe.
64 At once Zechariah's mouth was opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak, blessing God.
Popo pepo a Shakalia, gubhakombwele kubheleketa kabhili, bhalinkwaakuya a Nnungu.
65 Then fear came upon all who dwelt around them, and in the entire hill country of Judea all these things were being discussed.
Ashaatami ajabho bhowe gubhajogopenje, na bhandu bhowe bhatendaga kungulushilanga jene nganijo mmbali yowe ya shilambo sha mwiitumbi ya ku Yudea.
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.
Bhowe bhapilikenenje genego, gubhaganishiyenje mmitima jabhonji nikwiibhuya, “Igala jwene mwanaju apingabha mundu jwashi?” Pabha nkono gwa Bhakulungwa pugwaaliji naka jwenejo.
67 Then Zechariah, the child's father, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
A Shakalia, ainagwe mwana, gubhagumbeywe naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, gubhalondwele nnei,
68 “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited his people and brought them redemption.
“Bhapegwe mboka Bhakulungwa a Nnungu bha Ishilaeli, Pabha bhashikwiya kukwagombolanga bhandu bhabho.
69 He has raised up for us a horn of salvation in the house of his servant David
Bhashikutupa Nkutapula jwa makangala, Jwa uukulu gwa a Daudi bhatumishi bhabho.
Bhabhelenje kuumila bhukala Kupitila bhaalondola bhabho bha Ukonjelo, (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us—
Kuti shibhatutapule mmakono ga ashaamagongo ajetu Na bhowe bhakutushimanga.
72 to deal mercifully with our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,
Pubhashite kuti shibhaabhonelanje shiya bhanangulungwa bhetu, Na shibhakumbushile malagano gabho ga Ukonjelo.
73 the oath he swore to Abraham our father, to grant us
Bhashinkulumbila kwa ambuje a Bhulaimu, Kuti shibhatutende uwe
74 that we, having been rescued from the hands of our enemies, might serve him without fear,
Tugombolwe mmakono ga ashaamagongo ajetu, Kupinga twatindibhalile gwangali lipamba,
75 in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our lives.
Kwa Ukonjelo na aki Mobha getu gowe.
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,
Na ugwe mwanangu, shushemwe, nkulondola jwa Bhakulungwa a Nnungu. Shugwaalongolele Bhakulungwa kukwaalashiya mpanda gwabho,
77 to give his people knowledge of salvation through the remission of their sins,
Kwaalungushiyanga bhandu bhabho kuti, shibhatapulwanje Kwa leshelelwa yambi yabhonji.
78 through the tender mercy of our God, by which the sunrise has visited us from on high,
A Nnungu bhetu shibhatutendele nneyo kwa ligongo lya potekwa ntima na shiya shabho, Na Ntapulo gwabho shiututulushile kukopoka kunnungu malinga nshenje,
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.”
Kupinga kwaamulishilanga bhowe bhatemingenenje nnubhindu lwa shiwo, Bhatulongoye ndamo yetu tutame kwa ulele.”
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.
Mwana gwakulile na gwapundile kukola mashili muntima. Gwatemi kuanga mpaka lyubha lyailangwile ku bhandu bha Ishilaeli.
