Luke 1
1 Seeing that many have attempted to draw up a narrative of the facts which are received with full assurance among us
Bhandu bhabhagwinjinji bhashilajililanga kujandika ukoto ngani ja indu yatendekaga munkumbi gwetu.
2 on the authority of those who were from the beginning eye-witnesses and were devoted to the service of the divine Message,
Bhashinkujandikanga malinga shitwatagulilwe na bhandunji bhagabhweninji pugatendekaga, kuumila kundandubho na bhalunguyangaga lilobhe lya a Nnungu.
3 it has seemed right to me also, after careful investigation of the facts from their commencement, to write for you, most noble Theophilus, a connected account,
Kwa nneyo, mmakulungwa a Teopili, numbe nne ngakagulileje ukoto yowe kuumila kundandubho, njibhona inapwaa ninnjandishile shiyashite tendeka,
4 that you may fully know the truth of the things which you have been taught by word of mouth.
nkupinga na mmwe muumanye ukweli gwa yowe innjigenywe ila.
5 There was in the time of Herod, the king of Judaea, a priest of the name of Zechariah, belonging to the class of Abijah. He had a wife who was a descendant 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 of them upright before God, blamelessly obeying all the Lord's precepts and ordinances.
Bhowe bhanaabhili bhashinkubhanganga bhandunji bha aki kwa a Nnungu, bhalikagulilanga amuli na malajilo ga Bhakulungwa gwangali kugambwa.
7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren; and both of them were far advanced in life.
Ikabheje bhakakwetenjeje bhana, pabha a Lishabheti pubhaaliji nannii na bhanaabhili pubhalinginji bhakongopanji kaje.
8 Now while he was doing priestly duty before God in the prescribed course of his class,
Lyubha limo lya nnimbu gwa liengo lya bhishila gwa a Shakalia nniekalu,
9 it fell to his lot--according to the custom of the priesthood--to go into the Sanctuary of the Lord and burn the incense;
malinga shigwaliji nkubho gwabhonji, a Shakalia bhashinkuagulwa kwa shikoma, bhajinjile nniekalu bhakatutumye lubhani.
10 and the whole multitude of the people were outside praying, at the hour of incense.
Akuno lugwinjili lowe lwa bhandu pubhalinginji palanga bhalikwaajuganga a Nnungu, malanga ga tutumya lubhani.
11 Then there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense;
Malaika jwa Bhakulungwa akwaakoposhelaga, gwabhajimile nkono nnilo gwa shitala sha tutumishiya lubhani.
12 and Zechariah on seeing him was agitated and terrified.
A Shakalia bhakammoneje malaika jwa a Nnungu jula gubhatengwishe na jogopa.
13 But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your petition has been heard: and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call his name 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 Gladness and exultant joy shall be yours, and many will rejoice over 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; no wine or fermented drink shall he ever drink; but he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from the very hour of his birth.
Shabhe jwankulungwa pa meyo ga Bhakulungwa, akapinjikwa kung'wa togwa wala ukana, apinga gumbaywa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, kuumila nnutumbo lwa akwabhe.
16 Many of the descendants of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God;
Shaabhatendebhuyanje bha Ishilaeli bhabhagwinji bhaabhujilanje Bhakulungwa a Nnungu bhabhonji.
17 and he will be His forerunner in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn fathers' hearts to the children, and cause the rebellious to walk in the wisdom of the upright, to make a people perfectly ready 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 "By what proof," asked Zechariah, "shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is far advanced in years."
A Shakalia gubhammushiye malaika jula, “Yeneyo nne pushiniimanye bhuli? Nne nankongopa na akangu na bhalabho bhakongopele.”
19 "I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God," answered the angel, "and I have been sent to talk with you and tell you 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 And now you will be dumb and unable to speak until the day when this has taken place; because you did not believe my words--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 were surprised that he stayed so long in the Sanctuary.
Penepo bhandu bhaalindililangaga a Shakalia gubhakanganigwenje kwa nndi bhashikabhiya Nniekalu mula.
22 When, however, he came out, he was unable to speak to them; and they knew that he must have seen a vision in the Sanctuary; but he kept making signs to them and continued dumb.
Bhakakoposheje palanga bhakakombweleje kubheleketa nabhonji. Gubhamumanyinji kuti ipali ibhaiweni Nniekalu mula. Ikabheje gubhapundile bheleketa nabhonji kwa ilangulo ya makono, pabha bhashinkubha bhubhu.
23 When his days of service were at an end, he went to his home;
Nnimbu gwabho gwa liengo lya bhishila ukamaleje, a Shakaliya gubhabhujile kumui.
24 and in course of time his wife Elizabeth conceived, and kept herself secluded five months.
Pangakabhika a Lishabheti gubhajukwite shitumbo. Gubhatemi pamui miyei nng'ano.
25 "Thus has the Lord dealt with me," she said, "now that He has graciously taken away my reproach among men."
Bhalinkuti, “Nnei ni shibhandendele Bhakulungwa bhakamoneje, bhashinjosheya oni jangu, jinakolaga pa meyo ga bhandunji.”
26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town in 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 maiden betrothed to a man of the name of Joseph, a descendant of David. The maiden's name was Mary.
kwa a mwali bhaishana bhashemwaga a Malia, ntemela gwa a Yoshepu bha shipinga sha a Daudi.
28 So Gabriel went into the house and said to her, "Joy be to you, favoured one! the Lord is with you."
Malaika jula gwabhajendele, nikwaabhalanjila, “Shalamu shenu mmwe a Malia! Nshipegwa nema yaigwinji! Bhakulungwa pubhali na mmwe.”
29 She was greatly agitated at his words, and wondered what such a greeting meant.
A Malia bhakapilikaneje gene malobhego gubhatengwishe kaje, nikwiibhuya sha muntima, shene shalamushi malombolelo gakwe nndi?
30 But the angel said, "Do not be frightened, Mary, for you have found favour with God.
Malaika jula gwabhalugulile, “Nnajogope a Malia, pabha Bhakulungwa bhashikumpa nema.
31 You will conceive in your womb and bear a son; and you are to call His name JESUS.
Pilikana! Shinnjukute shitumbo, na shinkole mwana jwannume na munsheme lina lyakwe Yeshu.
32 He will be great and He will be called 'Son of the Most High.' And the Lord God will give Him the throne of His forefather David;
Jwenejo apingabha jwankulungwa na shashemwe Mwana jwa bhali Kunani Kaje. Bhakulungwa a Nnungu shibhampe shitengu sha upalume sha anaigwe a Daudi.
33 and He will be King over the House of Jacob for the Ages, 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 "How can this be," Mary replied, "seeing that I have no husband?"
A Malia gubhammushiye malaika, “Pushiitendeshe yeneyo bhuli, na nne niibhelele mwali nng'ishana nganabhe kummanya jwannume?”
35 The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for this reason your holy offspring 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 see, your relative Elizabeth--she also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with 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 no promise from God will be impossible of fulfilment."
Pabha shakwa shikaakomboleka kwa a Nnungu.”
38 "I am the Lord's maidservant," Mary replied; "may it be with me in accordance with your words!" And then the angel left her.
A Malia gubhashite, “Nne nantumwa jwa Bhakulungwa, ibhe malinga shiumalanjile.” Bhai malaika jula gwajabhwile.
39 Not long after this, Mary rose up and went in haste into the hill country to a town in Judah.
Gakapiteje malanga gashoko, a Malia gubhapite shangu ku shilambo shimo sha kuitumbi ya ku Yudea.
40 Here she came to the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth;
Kweneko gubhajinjile nnyumba ja a Shakalia, nikwaalamushila a Lishabheti.
41 and as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the babe leapt within her. 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 and uttered a loud cry of joy. "Blest among women are you," she said, "and the offspring of your body is blest!
nigubhabhelekete kwa lilobhe lya utiya, “Nshipegwa mboka kupunda bhanabhakongwe bhowe, na mwana junkupinga kunkolajo ashipegwa mboka.
43 But why is this honour done 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, the moment your greeting reached my ears, the babe within me leapt for joy.
Nnole! Ngapilikanejepe kulamushila kwenu, shitumbo shangu shikutukulaga nkwiinonyela.
45 And blessed is she who has believed, for the word spoken to her from the Lord shall be fulfilled."
Mbaya mmwe nkulupalile kuti yene immalanjilwe na Bhakulungwa ila shiitendeshe.”
46 Then Mary said: "My soul extols the Lord,
Na bhalabho a Malia gubhashite, “Ntima gwangu unakwaakuya Bhakulungwa,
47 And my spirit triumphs in God my Saviour;
Na mbumu yangu inakwiinonyela ligongo lya a Nnungu Bhaatapula bhangu.
48 Because He has not turned from His maidservant in her lowly position; For from this time forward all generations will account me happy,
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 And His compassion is, generation after generation, Upon those who fear Him.
Bhenebho bhanakwaabhonelanga shiya bhene bhakwaajogopanga bhala, kuumila lubheleko mpaka lubheleko.
51 He has manifested His supreme strength. He has scattered those who were haughty in the thoughts of their hearts.
Pabha kwa mashili ga nkono gwabho bhashitenda gamakulungwa. Bhashikwapwilinganyanga bhakwetenje mbwinya mmitima jabhonji,
52 He has cast monarchs down from their thrones, And exalted men of low estate.
Bhashikwaatuluyanga bhapalume mwitengu yabhonji ya upalume, Nikwaakweyanga bhaitimalikenje.
53 The hungry He has satisfied with choice gifts, But the rich He has sent empty-handed away.
Bhakwetenje shibhanga bhashikwaatendanga bhajukutanje ya mmbone, Ikabhe matajili bhashikwaalekanga bhapwilingane gwangali shoshowe.
54 His servant Israel He has helped, Remembering His compassion--
Bhashikunnjangutila ntumishi jwabho Ishilaeli, Bhalikumbushila miadi ja kummonela shiya.
55 In fulfillment of His promises to our forefathers--For Abraham and his posterity for ever." (aiōn g165)
Kwa a Bhulaimu na lubheleko lwabho pitipiti, Malinga shibhaabhalanjilenje bhanangulungwa bhetu.” (aiōn g165)
56 So Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months, and then returned home.
A Malia nigubhatemi na a Lishabheti malinga myei jitatu, nigubhabhujile kunngwabho.
57 Now when Elizabeth's full time was come, she gave birth to a son;
Mobha ga kwigopola a Lishabheti gakaishileje, gubhaigopwele mwana jwannume.
58 and her neighbours and relatives heard how the Lord had had great compassion on 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 And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and were going to call him Zechariah, after his father.
Lyubha lya nane gubhaikengenenje kukuntaga mwana unyago, nigubhapinjilenje kumpa lina lya ainagwe, Shakalia.
60 His mother, however, said, "No, he is to be called John."
Ikabheje akwabhe nigubhakanile, bhalinkuti, “Nngabha, ikabhe shashemwe a Yowana.”
61 "There is not one of your family," they said, "who has that name."
Gubhaalugulilenje, “Pakuti jwakwa mundu muulongo gwenu ashemwa lyene linalyo!”
62 They asked his father by signs what he wished him to be called.
Bhai gubhaabhushiyenje ainagwe kwa ilangulo ya makono bhamumanyanje lina lyashi libhapinga kumpa mwanagwabho.
63 So he asked for a writing-tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they all wondered.
Numbe a Shakalia gubhajujile shibhao sha jandika, gubhajandishe nnei, “Lina lyakwe a Yowana.” Gubhakanganigwenje bhowe.
64 Instantly his mouth and his tongue were set free, and he began to speak and bless God.
Popo pepo a Shakalia, gubhakombwele kubheleketa kabhili, bhalinkwaakuya a Nnungu.
65 And all who lived round about them were filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judaea reports of all these things were spread abroad.
Ashaatami ajabho bhowe gubhajogopenje, na bhandu bhowe bhatendaga kungulushilanga jene nganijo mmbali yowe ya shilambo sha mwiitumbi ya ku Yudea.
66 All who heard the story treasured it in their memories. "What then will this child be?" they said. For the lord's hand was indeed with him.
Bhowe bhapilikenenje genego, gubhaganishiyenje mmitima jabhonji nikwiibhuya, “Igala jwene mwanaju apingabha mundu jwashi?” Pabha nkono gwa Bhakulungwa pugwaaliji naka jwenejo.
67 And Zechariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke in a rapture of praise.
A Shakalia, ainagwe mwana, gubhagumbeywe naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, gubhalondwele nnei,
68 "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel," he said, "Because He has not forgotten His people but has effected redemption for them,
“Bhapegwe mboka Bhakulungwa a Nnungu bha Ishilaeli, Pabha bhashikwiya kukwagombolanga bhandu bhabho.
69 And has raised up a mighty Deliverer for us In the house of David His servant--
Bhashikutupa Nkutapula jwa makangala, Jwa uukulu gwa a Daudi bhatumishi bhabho.
Bhabhelenje kuumila bhukala Kupitila bhaalondola bhabho bha Ukonjelo, (aiōn g165)
71 To deliver us from our foes and from the power of all who hate us.
Kuti shibhatutapule mmakono ga ashaamagongo ajetu Na bhowe bhakutushimanga.
72 He dealt pitifully with our forefathers, And remembered His holy covenant,
Pubhashite kuti shibhaabhonelanje shiya bhanangulungwa bhetu, Na shibhakumbushile malagano gabho ga Ukonjelo.
73 The oath which He swore to Abraham our forefather,
Bhashinkulumbila kwa ambuje a Bhulaimu, Kuti shibhatutende uwe
74 To grant us to be rescued from the power of our foes And so render worship to Him free from fear,
Tugombolwe mmakono ga ashaamagongo ajetu, Kupinga twatindibhalile gwangali lipamba,
75 In piety and uprightness before Him all our days.
Kwa Ukonjelo na aki Mobha getu gowe.
76 And you moreover, O child, shall be called Prophet of the Most High; For you shall go on in front before the Lord to prepare the way for Him,
Na ugwe mwanangu, shushemwe, nkulondola jwa Bhakulungwa a Nnungu. Shugwaalongolele Bhakulungwa kukwaalashiya mpanda gwabho,
77 To give to His People a knowledge of salvation In the forgiveness of their sins,
Kwaalungushiyanga bhandu bhabho kuti, shibhatapulwanje Kwa leshelelwa yambi yabhonji.
78 Through the tender compassion of our God, Through which the daybreak from on high will come to us,
A Nnungu bhetu shibhatutendele nneyo kwa ligongo lya potekwa ntima na shiya shabho, Na Ntapulo gwabho shiututulushile kukopoka kunnungu malinga nshenje,
79 Dawning on those who now dwell in the darkness and shadow of death--To direct our feet into the path of peace."
Kupinga kwaamulishilanga bhowe bhatemingenenje nnubhindu lwa shiwo, Bhatulongoye ndamo yetu tutame kwa ulele.”
80 And the child grew and became strong in character, and lived in the Desert till the time came for him to appear publicly to Israel.
Mwana gwakulile na gwapundile kukola mashili muntima. Gwatemi kuanga mpaka lyubha lyailangwile ku bhandu bha Ishilaeli.
