Luke 1
1 My noble [friend] Theophilus, many people saw the things that [Jesus] did while he was with us, from the time when he started [MTY] [his ministry]. They served God [by teaching people] the message [about the Lord Jesus]. Many of those who heard what they taught wrote down for us accounts of the things that [Jesus did from the time when] he began [his ministry].
POT y guaja megae y umapolo y canaeñija para ufannaregla y cuentos nu y ayo na güinaja na esta guefmaasegura gui entalo jame,
Jaftaemanoja ninaejam ni guine y tutujoña y testigojam ni y malie, nu y yan y ministrojam y sinangan;
3 I myself have studied these accounts carefully. So I decided that it would be good for me also to write for you [(sg)] an accurate account of these matters.
Y jinasoco mauleg locue nu guajo, sa juguefegaga sinengcabales todo y güinaja guine y tutujonña, na jutuguie jao pot y inaregla, jago guesmagas na Teofilo;
4 I want you to know the truth about what you have been taught {what others have taught you}.

5 When King Herod [the Great ruled] Judea [district], there was a [Jewish] priest named Zechariah. He belonged to the [group of priests called] the Abijah group. He and his wife Elizabeth were both descended from the [first priest of Israel], Aaron.
Guaja gui jaanin Herodes, ray guiya Judea, un pale, naanña si Sacharias, y clasen Abias; y asaguaña guinin sija jagan Aaron ya y naaña si Elisabet.
6 [God considered that] both of them were righteous, because they constantly completely obeyed everything that God had commanded.
Este na dos mauleg gui sanmenan Yuus, jajananao gui todo y lay yan y tinago Señot, ti lalatdiyon.
7 But they had no children, because Elizabeth had been unable to bear children. Furthermore, she and her husband were very old.
Ya taya patgonñija; sa si Elisabet tifáfañago; yan y dos megae jaaniñija.
8 One day [Zechariah’s] group was doing their work [in the Temple in Jerusalem], and he was serving as a priest in God’s presence.
Ya jumuyong, anae mañeñetbe si Sacharias, gui ofisio y pale gui menan Yuus, gui chechon y clasiña,
9 Following their custom, [the other priests] chose him by lot to enter the Lord’s temple and burn incense.
Jaftaemanoja y costumbren y ofisio y pale, y chechoña na jumalom gui guimayuus ya jasonggue y paopao.
10 While he was burning the incense, many people were outside [in the courtyard], praying.
Ya todo y linajyan taotao mangaegue gui sanjiyong manmananaetae gui oran paopao.
11 Then an angel whom God had [sent] appeared to him. The angel was standing at the right side of the place [where the priests burned] incense.
Ya mato guiya güiya y angjet y Señot, na gaegue gui agapa y attat y paopao.
12 When Zechariah saw the angel, he was startled and became very afraid.
Ya inestotba si Sacharias anae jalie, ya mato minaañao gui jiloña.
13 But the angel said to him, “Zechariah, do not be afraid! When you [(sg)] prayed [asking God for a son] (OR, [that God would send the Messiah]), God heard what you prayed. [So] your wife Elizabeth shall bear a son. You must name him John.
Lao y angjet ilegña nu güiya: Sacharias, chamo maaañao; sa y tinaetaemo este majungog; ya y asaguamo as Elisabet ufañago y patgon laje, ya umafanaan naanña si Juan.
14 He will cause you to be very happy, and many other people will also be happy because he is born.
Ya uguaja jao minagof yan alegria; ya y megae umagof nu y mafañaguña.
15 God will consider him to be very important. He must never drink wine or any other alcoholic drink, [in order that he will be completely dedicated to God]. He will be controlled by the Holy Spirit {The Holy Spirit will control him} from before he is born.
Sa udangculo güe gui menan Señot; ya ti uguimen bino ni metgot na guinem ya ubulagüe Espiritu Santo, guinin y tiyan nanaña.
16 He will [persuade] many people in Israel to turn away [from their sins and please] the Lord their God.
Ya megae gui famaguon Israel, ujabira nu y Señot, Yuusñija.
17 As [God’s] Spirit enables him [to preach] powerfully as [the prophet] Elijah did, he will precede [the Messiah]. He will cause parents [SYN] to act [peacefully] toward their children [again]. He will cause [many] people who do not obey [God to hear and obey] the wise things that righteous people [tell them]. He will do this in order to help [many] people to be ready when the Lord [comes].”
Ya ujanaogüe gui menan y mataña nu y espiritu yan y ninasiñan Elias, para unanalo y corasonñija y mañaena guiya y famaguon, yan y manchátmatago ni y tiningo y manunas; para ufamauleg nu y Señot y taotao, ni y esta fanmauleg para güiya.
18 Then Zechariah said to the angel, “I am very old, and my wife is also so old [that she cannot bear a child. So] (I cannot [believe] that what you [(sg)] said [will happen]!/how can I [believe] that what you [(sg)] said [will happen]?) [RHQ]”
Ya ilegña si Sacharias nu y angjet: Jaftaemano jutungo este? sa guajo bijoyo ya y asaguajo megae jaaniña.
19 Then the angel said to him, “I am [God’s chief angel], Gabriel! [I do what God tells me, because] I constantly am in God’s presence! I was sent {[He] sent me} to tell you [(sg)] something good [that is going to happen to you].
Ya manope y angjet ya ilegña nu güiya: Guajo si Gabriel, na gaegue yo tumotojgue gui menan Yuus; ya guajo esta matago na jucuentusejao, ya junaejao ni este mauleg na sinangan.
20 What I have told you will certainly happen at the time [God decides], but you did not believe what I told you. So now [God will make] you will be unable to talk until the day [your son is born]”!
Ya estagüe, na jago udojao ya ti siña uncuentos, asta y jaane nae este macumple estesija; sa y ti unjongue y sinanganjo, ni umacumple y tiempoña.
21 While [Zechariah and the angel] were talking, the people [in the courtyard] were waiting for Zechariah [to come out]. They wondered, “Why is he staying in the Temple for such a long time?”
Ya y taotao sija manmannanangga as Sacharias, ya ninafanmanman ni y inapmamña gui guimayuus.
22 When Zechariah came out, he was not able to speak to the people. Because he could not talk, he made motions with his hands [to try to convey what had happened]. Then they realized that he had seen (a vision [from God]/something that [God] showed him) while he was in the Temple.
Ya anae jumuyong, ti siña umadingane sija; ya matungo na manlie un linie gui guimayuus; lao güiya sigue di fumatinas y señatja; ya sumaga udo.
23 When Zechariah’s time to work [as a priest in the Temple] was finished, he [left Jerusalem and] returned to his home.
Ya anae esta munjayan y jaanin y ministroña, jumanao para y guimaña.
24 Some time later his wife Elizabeth became pregnant [EUP]. She did not leave their house for five months, [because she knew that people would laugh at her if she told them that she was pregnant].
Ya despues di ayo sija na jaane mapotgue y asaguaña as Elisabet, ya janana sinco na meses, ya ilegña:
25 But she thought, “God has enabled me to become pregnant. He has pitied me and I will no longer be ashamed [because I have no children]!”
Taemanoja y Señot jafatinas para guajo, este sija na jaane nae jaatanyo para unajanao y mamajlaojo gui entalo taotao sija.
26 When Elizabeth had been [pregnant] [EUP] [for almost] six months, the angel Gabriel was sent by God {God sent the angel Gabriel} [again].
Y mina saes na mes, y angjet Gabriel esta tumago guine as Yuus, para un siuda guiya Galilea, ni y naanña y Nasaret,
27 [This time] he went to Nazareth [town] in Galilee [district], to a virgin whose name was Mary. It had been {[Her parents] had} promised that she would marry a man named Joseph, who was descended from [King] David.
Guiya un bitgen, nobia y un laje naanña si José, familian David; ya y naan y bitgen si Maria.
28 The angel greeted her and said, “(The Lord/God) is with you [(sg)] and you will be greatly blessed {[has decided to] greatly bless you}!”
Ya jumalom manu nae estaba güe, ya ilegña: Jafa tatatmana jao na guefmaborese jao; y Señot gaegue guiya
29 But Mary was very confused [when she heard] that. She wondered what [the angel meant] by these words.
Lao pot este na sinangan, ninaestotba güe, ya jajajaso na jaftaemano este na sinaluda.
30 Then the angel said to her, “Mary, God is very pleased with you [(sg)], so do not be afraid.
Entonses y angjet ilegña nu güiya: Maria, chamo maaañao; sa unsoda y finaborese gui menan Yuus.
31 You will become pregnant and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus.
Ya estagüe, na unmapotgue gui tiyanmo ya unfañago un patgon laje, ya umafanaan y naaaña si Jesus.
32 He will become great. He will be called {[People will] call him} (the Son of God/the man who is also God). God, the Lord, will make him a king [MTY] as his ancestor [King] David was.
Ya udangculo güe, ya umafanaan Lajin Gueftaquilo: ya y Señot Yuus ufannae güe y tronon David tataña.
33 He will be the King of [the] Jews, the descendants [MTY] of [your ancestor] Jacob, forever. He will rule as king forever!” (aiōn g165)
Ya ugobietna gui guima Jacob siesiempreja; ya y raenoña ugagaegue taejinecog. (aiōn g165)
34 Then Mary said to the angel, “I am a virgin, so how can I [have a baby]?”
Entonses si Maria ilegña ni y angjet: Jafa jumuyong este? sa ti jutungo laje.
35 The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come to you; the power of God [MTY/EUP] will overshadow you [and enable you to become pregnant]. So the child [you will] bear will be completely set apart {give himself completely} to obey God, and he will be called {[people] will say that he is} (the Son of God/the man who is also God).
Ya manope y angjet, ya ilegña nu güiya: Y Espiritu Santo umamaela guiya jago, ya y ninasiña y Gueftaquilo jafatinas y anineng gui jilomo; enaomina ayo na Santos na umafañago, umafanaan Lajin Yuus.
36 [I also need to tell you something else]. Your cousin Elizabeth is very old, and it was thought {[people] said} that she could not bear any children. But she has been [pregnant] [EUP] [for almost] six months, and will bear a son!
Ya, estagüe, si Elisabet, parentesmo, locue güiya mapotgue un laje gui inamcoña; ya este y mina saes na mes nu güiya na mafanaan tifáfañago.
37 [You should not be surprised at that], because God can do everything!”
Sa y sinangan Yuus, taya uno na taeninasiña.
38 Then Mary said, “All right, I want to serve (the Lord/God), so may what you [(sg)] have said about me come true!” Then the angel left her.
Entonses si Maria ilegña: Estagüe y tentagon Señot; ufatinas guiya guajo taemanoja y sinanganmo. Ya y angjet mapos guiya güiya.
39 Very soon after that, Mary got ready and went quickly to a town in the highlands of Judea [district] where Zechariah lived.
Ya ayo na jaane sija, cajulo si Maria ya jumanao gusise para un tano taquilo, guiya un siudan Juda;
40 She entered his house and greeted [his wife] Elizabeth.
Ya jumalom gui guima Sacharias ya jasaluda si Elisabet.
41 As soon as Elizabeth heard Mary greet her, the baby moved inside [Elizabeth’s] womb. The Holy Spirit took complete control of Elizabeth,
Ya jumuyong taegüije na anae jajungog si Elisabet y sinaludan Maria, y patgon tumayog gui jalom tiyanña; si Elisabet bula Espiritu Santo,
42 and she said loudly [to Mary], “[God] has blessed you [more than] he has blessed [any other] woman, and [he has] blessed the child you will bear!
Ya umagang ni dangculo na inagang ya ilegña: Dichosojao gui entalo y famalaoan, ya dichoso y tinegchan tiyanmo.
43 (I am not worthy that [God would allow you] to visit me!/Why is [God allowing you] to visit me?) [RHQ] You will be the mother of my Lord!
Ya guine manu este guiya guajo, na mato guiya guajo y nanan y Señotto.
44 [I realize this because] as soon as I heard you greet me, the baby inside my womb moved because he was so happy [that you had come].
Sa estagüe, na anae mato y inagang y sinaludamo gui talangajo, y patgon, gui jalom tiyanjo, tumayog ni minagofña.
45 [God] is pleased with you [because] you believed that what (the Lord/God) told you would come true.”
Ya dichosogüe y jumonggue; sa uguaja y quinimple gui güinaja, ni esta masangane güe ni guinin y Señot.
46 Then Mary [praised God by] saying/singing: “, how I [SYN] praise (the Lord/God)!
Entonses ilegña si Maria: Janadangculo y antijo y Señot,
47 I am happy because God is the one who saves me.
Ya y espiritujo ninamagof gui as Yuus y Satbadotto.
48 I was only his lowly servant girl, but he did not forget me. So from now on, everyone will say that God was pleased with me,
Sa jaatan y dinespresiaoña y tentgoña; sa estagüe na desde pago jumafanaan dichosa ni todo y generasion.
49 because they will hear about the things that God [MTY], the mighty one, has done for me. He [MTY] is awesome!
Sa ayo na guaja ninasiña, jafatinas guiya guajo dangculo na güinaja; ya santos y naanña.
50 He acts mercifully toward all those who respect him.
Ya y minaaseña gaegue gui generasion taotao sija, gui jiloñija ni manmaañao nu güiya.
51 He shows people that he [MTY] is very powerful. He scatters those who think proudly.
Ya pot y canaeña jafanue minetgot; janafañuja y sobetbio sija gui jinason y corasonñija.
52 He does not let mighty kings rule [MTY] any more, but he honors people who are oppressed (OR, humble).
Ya jayute papa y magas gui tronoñija, ya jajatsa y manumitde.
53 He gives good things to eat to those who are hungry, but he sends away the rich people without giving them anything.
Ya y manñalang janafanbula ni y minauleg; ya y manmigüinaja janafanjanao yan y tae sinajguan.
54 And now he has remembered what he promised. So he has helped me and all the other people of [MTY] Israel who serve him.
Ya jaayuda si Israel tentagoña, para ufanjaso y miñaase,
55 He promised to Abraham and all our other ancestors who descended from him that he would act mercifully toward them forever.” (aiōn g165)
(Taemano y jasangane y mañaenata), as Abraham yan y semiyaña para todo y tiempo. (aiōn g165)
56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months. Then she returned to her home.
Si Maria sumaga yan güiya calang tres meses ya despues jumanao asto iyasija.
57 When it was time for Elizabeth to give birth to her child, she bore a son.
Ya si Elisabet jacumple y tiempo nae para ufañago; ya mañago un patgon laje.
58 Her neighbors and relatives heard how (the Lord/God) had greatly blessed her [by enabling her to bear a child], so they were happy along with [Elizabeth].
Ya anae majungog ni tiguangña yan y parientesña, na si Yuus janadangculo y minaaseña guiya güiya; ya manmagof yan güiya.
59 Seven days later they gathered together for the [ceremony for] circumcising the baby [to show that he belonged to God]. They wanted to give the baby the same name as his father, Zechariah.
Ya susede na y mina ocho na jaane manmato para umasircunsida y patgon: ya malagoñija umafanaan ni y naan tataña as Sacharias.
60 But his mother said, “No, [his name will not be Zechariah]. His name will be John!”
Ya manope y nanaña ya ilegña: Aje, sa umafanaan si Juan.
61 [So] they said to her, “[John] is not the name of any of your [(dl)] relatives, [so you(dl) should not give him that name]!”
Ya ilegñija nu güiya: Taya gui manparientesmo mafanaan nu este na naan.
62 Then they made motions with their hands to Zechariah, [for him] to indicate what name [he] wanted to be given {to give} to his son.
Ya maseñat y tataña, ya mafaesen jafa malagoña umafanaan.
63 [So] he signaled that they [should give him] a tablet [to write on. When they gave him one], he wrote [on it], “His name is John.” All those [who were there] were surprised!
Ya mangagao un diquique na tabla ya jatugue ilegña: Si Juan naanña. Ya todo sija ninafanmanman.
64 Immediately Zechariah was able to speak again [MTY], and he praised God.
Ya enseguidas mababa y pachotña, ya mapula y jilaña, ya cumuentos, jabendise si Yuus.
65 All their neighbors were amazed/awestruck! They told other people who lived all over the highlands of Judea about what had happened.
Ya guaja minaañao gui jiloñija todo y mañasaga gui oriyañija: ya gui todo y tano taquilo guiya Judea, masasangan este sija na sinangan.
66 Everyone who heard about it kept thinking about it. They were saying, “We wonder what will this child do [for God when] he [grows up] [RHQ]!” They wondered that because [from what had happened they were sure that] God would be helping that child [SYN] [in a powerful way].
Ya todosija y jumujungog jaadaje gui corasonñija ya ilegñija: Jafa jumuyong este na patgon? Sa y canae Yuus gaegue guiya güiya.
67 [After] Zechariah’s [son was born], Zechariah was completely directed by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit completely directed Zechariah} as he spoke these words that came from God:
Ya si Sacharias, tataña, bula Espiritu Santo ya japrofetisa, ilegña:
68 “Praise the Lord, the God whom we(inc) people of Israel worship, because he has come to set us, his people, free from our enemies.
Bendito y Señot, y Yuus y Israel; sa jabisita ya jafatinas y redension, para taotaoña,
69 He is sending us someone who will powerfully [MTY] save us, someone who is descended from [MTY] King David, who served God well.
Ya janacajulo para jita un canggelon y satbasion, gui guima y tentagoña as David,
(Taegüijija na jasasangan gui pachot y mañantos na profetaña, ni esta gaegue guinin tutujonña y tano), (aiōn g165)
71 He will rescue us from our enemies, and he will save us from the power of all those who hate us.
Satbasion gui y enemiguta yan gui canae todo y chumatliijit;
72 He will do this because he has not forgotten what he promised our ancestors; he made an agreement that he would act mercifully to us, their descendants.
Para umafanue y minaaseña gui mañaenata, ya umajaso y santos na tratoña;
73 That is what he strongly promised our ancestor Abraham that he would do.
Y juramento ni manjula as Abraham ni tatata,
74 God told him that we would be rescued {he would rescue us} from the power of our enemies, that he would enable us to serve him without being afraid,
Na güiya unaejit linibreta gui canae y enemiguta ya utasetbe güe sin minaañao,
75 that he would cause us to be completely dedicated to him, and enable us to live righteously all of our lives.”
Y sinantos yan y tinunas gui menaña todo y jaanita.
76 [Then Zechariah said this to] his little son: “My child, you will be called {people will say that you are} a prophet whom God [MTY/EUP] has sent; you will begin your work before (the Lord/Messiah) comes; you will prepare people so that they will be ready for him. (OR, you will begin your work before the Messiah comes).
Ya, jago, patgon, unmafanaan profetan y Gueftaquilo; sa unjanao gui menan y Señot para unfamauleg y chalanña;
77 You will tell God’s people how he will forgive them and save them from being punished for their sins.
Para ufanamatungo y satbasion gui taotaoña ni y maasiin y isaoñija,
78 Our God will do that because he is very kind to us. Just like a new day begins when the sun rises [MET], God will do that new thing for us when the Messiah comes to us from heaven.
Pot causa y corason y minaaseña y Yuusta, anae y candit ogaan guinin taquilo, jabisitajit,
79 People who do not know God [MET] are like those who sit in the darkness. They are afraid [MTY] that they will soon die. But when the Messiah tells us God’s message, it will be like causing such people to see a bright light. He will guide us [SYN] so that we will be living peacefully.”
Para junae inina y manmatatachong gui jemjom yan y anineng y finatae; para ufanue y patasta gui chalan y pas.
80 [Later], Zechariah’s son grew up and became spiritually strong. Then he lived in a desolate region until he began to preach to the Israeli people.
Ya y patgon lumala ya mumetgot gui espiritu ya sumaga gui desierto asta y jaane anae esta matungo guiya Israel.
