Luke 1
1 Seeing that many have attempted to draw up a narrative of the facts which are received with full assurance among us
Mtuwa Teufili. Wantu wavua wajeriti kulemba vitwatira vyavitendikiti pakati pa twenga.
2 on the authority of those who were from the beginning eye-witnesses and were devoted to the service of the divine Message,
Walembiti ntambu yawatugambiriti vilii vyawaviwoniti kwa masu gawu kwanjira pavyanjiti, na walii yawabweriti Shisoweru Shiwagira.
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,
Su mkulu Teufili, toziya nuvigendiriti weri vitwatira vyoseri avi kwanjira pavyanjiti, mona ifaa na neni nukulemberi weri ntambu yayirawiriti.
4 that you may fully know the truth of the things which you have been taught by word of mouth.
Ntenda hangu, su na gwenga gupati kuvimana nakaka toziya ya vitwatira avi vyanukufunditi.
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.
Shipindi sha Herodi mfalumi gwa Yudeya, kuweriti na mkulu gwa numba ya Mlungu litawu lyakuwi wamshema Zakariya, yakaweriti gwa shipinga sha watambika sha Abiya. Mdala gwakuwi litawu lyakuwi wamshema Elizabeti nayomberi kaweriti gwa shiyiwuku sha mtambika Aruni.
6 They were both of them upright before God, blamelessly obeying all the Lord's precepts and ordinances.
Na woseri wawili waweriti wantu wa matendu gaherepa kulongolu kwa Mlungu, walikala pawagajimira malagaliru goseri ga Mtuwa.
7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren; and both of them were far advanced in life.
Kumbiti weriti wahera nonu, toziya Elizabeti kaweriti mpendi, vinu woseri wawili waweriti wagogolu.
8 Now while he was doing priestly duty before God in the prescribed course of his class,
Lishaka limu Zakariya kaweriti kankutenda lihengu lyakuwi lya utambika Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, toziya shiweriti shipindi shakuwi sha kutambika.
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;
Kulawirana na vitiba vya watambika, Zakariya kasyagulitwi kwa kugalambuziya simbi kwingira Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu su katumiziyi ubani.
10 and the whole multitude of the people were outside praying, at the hour of incense.
Shipindi Zakariya pakaweriti kankutumiziya ubani, lipinga lya wantu waweriti walivaga pamuhera kunja wankumluwa Mlungu.
11 Then there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense;
Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa kamlawiriti Zakariya, kagolokiti uwega wa kumliwu pashitalawanda sha kutambikira ubani.
12 and Zechariah on seeing him was agitated and terrified.
Zakariya pakamwoniti, kalilimuka, kaweriti na lyoga.
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.
Kumbiti ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamgambiriti, “Nagutira Zakariya! Mlungu kapikanira kala kuluwa kwaku. Mdala gwaku Elizabeti hakakuleleri mwana mpalu. Na mwana ayu litawu lyakuwi gumshemi Yohani.
14 Gladness and exultant joy shall be yours, and many will rejoice over his birth.
Yomberi hakaweri nemeru na nemeleru kwaku, wantu wavuwa hawaweri na nemeleru kwa kwiwuka kwakuwi.
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.
Yomberi hakaweri mkulu pamasu pa Mtuwa, hakalandi ndiri divayi ama ujimbi, yomberi hakamemi Rohu Mnanagala kwanjira mumtima mwa mawu gwakuwi.
16 Many of the descendants of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God;
Hakawatendi wantu wavuwa wa Israeli wamuwuyiri Mtuwa Mlungu gwawu.
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."
Yomberi hakamlongoleri Mtuwa, hakaweri na makakala pamuhera na uwezu ntambu yakaweriti Eliya mbuyi gwa Mlungu. Hakawajegi kayi pamuhera wana na watati, hakawawuziyi wantu yawamjimira ndiri Mlungu kuwera na maholu ga wantu yawamfiriziya Mlungu na kumtandira Mtuwa wantu yawasyagulitwi.”
18 "By what proof," asked Zechariah, "shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is far advanced in years."
Zakariya kamkosiya ntumintumi gwa kumpindi, “Hanuvimani hashi shisoweru ashi? Toziya neni pamuhera na mdala gwangu twawagogolu.”
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.
Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamwankula, “Neni Gaburieli yangoloka kulongolu kwa Mlungu, ndo kantuma ntakuli na gwenga na kukugambira shisoweru ashi shiwagira.
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."
Vinu guloli! Toziya gujimira ndiri shisoweru shangu, ashi hashitendeki kwa shipindi shakuwi, vinu haguweri bubu, haguwezi ndiri kutakula mpaka lishaka lilii pashilawira shisoweru ashi.”
21 Meanwhile the people were waiting for Zechariah, and were surprised that he stayed so long in the Sanctuary.
Lipinga lya wantu liweriti lyankumuhepera Zakariya na walikangasha kwa kukawa kwakuwi mulii Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu.
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.
Pakalawiti kasinditi kutakula nawomberi, nayomberi kendereyiti kuwalanguziya kwa mawoku hera, nawomberi wavimaniti kuwera kawoniti shintu Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu.
23 When his days of service were at an end, he went to his home;
Pashiperiti kala shipindi shakuwi sha kutenda lihengu Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, kagenditi ukaya kwakuwi.
24 and in course of time his wife Elizabeth conceived, and kept herself secluded five months.
Pa mashaka galii mdala gwakuwi Elizabeti kawera na yinda, kalikaliti mnumba kwa myezi muhanu,
25 "Thus has the Lord dealt with me," she said, "now that He has graciously taken away my reproach among men."
kalitakuliti, “Vinu Mtuwa kamonera lusungu kwa kumusilira soni zyangu kulongolu kwa wantu.”
26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,
Yinda ya Elizabeti pasokiti myezi sita, Mlungu kamtumiti Gaburieli ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kagendi mpaka Galilaya, lushi lwa Nazareti.
27 to a maiden betrothed to a man of the name of Joseph, a descendant of David. The maiden's name was Mary.
Kaweriti na shisoweru kwa muhinga bikira yakahetitwi na muntu yawamshema Yosefu, gwa shiyiwuku sha Dawudi, litawu lyakuwi ayu bikira ndo Mariya.
28 So Gabriel went into the house and said to her, "Joy be to you, favoured one! the Lord is with you."
Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamwiziriti Mariya na kumulamusiya, “Gwakashina? Ponga iweri pamuhera na gwenga! Mtuwa kapamuhera na gwenga, kakupanana upendelewu.”
29 She was greatly agitated at his words, and wondered what such a greeting meant.
Mariya kalisheliti nentu, toziya ya shisoweru sha ntumintumi gwa kumpindi, kaliholiti mumoyu pakalikosiya, “Kulamusiya aku kwana mana gaa?”
30 But the angel said, "Do not be frightened, Mary, for you have found favour with God.
Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamgambiriti Mariya, “Nagutira Mariya, Mlungu kakupapanana manemu.
31 You will conceive in your womb and bear a son; and you are to call His name JESUS.
Guloli, haguweri na yinda na kwiwula mwana mpalu na litawu lyakuwi hagumshemi Yesu.
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;
Ayu hakaweri mkulu, hawamshemi mwana gwa Mlungu na Mtuwa Mlungu hakampanani shibanta sha ufalumi sha Dawudi mbuyi gwakuwi.
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)
Hakakolimlima lukolu lwa Yakobu mashaka goseri na ufalumi wakuwi hapeni uweri na upeleru.” (aiōn g165)
34 "How can this be," Mary replied, "seeing that I have no husband?"
Mariya kamgambiriti ntumintumi gwa kumpindi, “Neni haneliwoni na mpalu! Hashiweri ashi shisoweru ashi?”
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.'
Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamuwankula, “Rohu Mnanagala hakizi kwaku na makakala ga Mlungu hagakwizili. Toziya ayi mwana hakiwukili hakaweri mnanagala, hakashemwi Mwana gwa Mlungu.
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.
Gumuholi mlongu gwaku Elizabeti, yomberi yawamshemiti mpendi kumbiti hakaleri mwana mpalu muugogolu wakuwi na mwezi agu ndo mwezi gwa sita kwa yinda yakuwi.
37 For no promise from God will be impossible of fulfilment."
Toziya kwahera shintu shashikamala kwa Mlungu.”
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.
Mariya katakula, “Neni na ntumintumi gwa Mtuwa! Iweri kwa neni ntambu ya gulongiti.” Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kawukiti na kugenda zakuwi.
39 Not long after this, Mary rose up and went in haste into the hill country to a town in Judah.
Mashaka galii Mariya kawukiti kagenditi mpaka isi ya mulugongu lwa Yudeya.
40 Here she came to the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth;
Aku kingiriti mnumba mwa Zakariya na kamlamsiyiti Elizabeti.
41 and as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the babe leapt within her. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
Elizabeti pakapikaniriti ntambu Mariya yakamlamsiyiti, nonu kadunkula mumtima mwakuwi. Elizabeti kamemiti Rohu Mnanagala,
42 and uttered a loud cry of joy. "Blest among women are you," she said, "and the offspring of your body is blest!
Elizabeti kalonga, “Gutekelerwa gwenga pakati pa wadala woseri na katekelerwi mwana hakiwukili mumtima mwaku.
43 But why is this honour done me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Neni na gaa ata mawu gwa Mtuwa gwangu kanizili neni?
44 For, the moment your greeting reached my ears, the babe within me leapt for joy.
Nakugambira, palaa pampikaniriti ntambu yagunamusiyiti, nonu kadunkula kwa kunemelera mumtima mwangu.
45 And blessed is she who has believed, for the word spoken to her from the Lord shall be fulfilled."
Mbaka gwenga toziya gujimira kuwera havitendeki vitwatira vyakakugambiriti Mtuwa.”
46 Then Mary said: "My soul extols the Lord,
Mariya kalonga, “Moyu gwangu gumkwisa Mtuwa,
47 And my spirit triumphs in God my Saviour;
Na rohu yangu yankunemelera, Toziya Mlungu ndo Mlopoziya gwangu.
48 Because He has not turned from His maidservant in her lowly position; For from this time forward all generations will account me happy,
Toziya kamonera lusungu neni ntumintumi gwakuwi. Kwanjira vinu wantu woseri hawalongi Mlungu kantekelera,
49 Because the mighty One has done great things for me--Holy is His name!--
Toziya ya shintu shikulu shakantendera Mlungu. Litawu lyakuwi linanagala.
50 And His compassion is, generation after generation, Upon those who fear Him.
Kawalanguziya lusungu lwakuwi Kwa walii yawampanana ligoya kwa shiyiwuku na shiyiwuku.
51 He has manifested His supreme strength. He has scattered those who were haughty in the thoughts of their hearts.
Katenda vitwatira vikulu kwa liwoku lyakuwi, Kawapalasiya yawawera na msindu pamuhera na mipangu ya myoyu yawu.
52 He has cast monarchs down from their thrones, And exalted men of low estate.
Kawasulusiya yawawera na likakala mu ukolamlima wawu, Na kawakweniziya wananagala.
53 The hungry He has satisfied with choice gifts, But the rich He has sent empty-handed away.
Yawawera na njala kawayikutiziya vintu viherepa, Na walunda kawawusiya mawoku hera.
54 His servant Israel He has helped, Remembering His compassion--
Katenda shakatakuliti kwa wambuyi wetu wagona, Kiza kumtanga Israeli ntumintumi gwakuwi.
55 In fulfillment of His promises to our forefathers--For Abraham and his posterity for ever." (aiōn g165)
Ntambu vyakawagambiriti wambuyi wetu, Aburahamu na wiwuka wakuwi mashaka goseri!” (aiōn g165)
56 So Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months, and then returned home.
Mariya kalikaliti pamuhera na Elizabeti kwa shipindi sha myezi mitatu, shakapanu kawuyiti ukaya kwakuwi.
57 Now when Elizabeth's full time was come, she gave birth to a son;
Shipindi sha Elizabeti kwiwura shisokiti, kiwuliti mwana mpalu.
58 and her neighbours and relatives heard how the Lord had had great compassion on her; and they rejoiced with her.
Wantu wapakwegera wakuwi na walongu wakuwi pawapikaniriti visoweru viherepa vya kulikangasha Mtuwa vyakavitenditi kwa Elizabeti, womberi wanemeleriti pamuhera na yomberi.
59 And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and were going to call him Zechariah, after his father.
Palipititi lijuwa limu, womberi wiziti kumwingiziya jandu mwana, wafira kumpanana litawu lya tati gwakuwi, Zakariya.
60 His mother, however, said, "No, he is to be called John."
Kumbiti mawu gwakuwi kalonga, “Hangu ndiri! Litawu lyakuwi hawamshemi Yohani.”
61 "There is not one of your family," they said, "who has that name."
Wamgambira, “Kwehera muntu muwalongu waku yawamshema litawu ali!”
62 They asked his father by signs what he wished him to be called.
Wamlanguziyiti langaliru tati gwakuwi, wavimana ntambu hakamshemi.
63 So he asked for a writing-tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they all wondered.
Zakariya kaluwiti shibawu na kalemba hangu, “Litawu lyakuwi ndo Yohani.” Kila muntu kalikangasha.
64 Instantly his mouth and his tongue were set free, and he began to speak and bless God.
Pala palii Zakariya kanjiti kayi kutakula, kanjiti kumkwisa Mlungu.
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.
Lyoga lyayingiriti woseri yawalikaliti pakwegera nayomberi na visoweru avi vyoseri vyeniyiti muisi yoseri ya mulugongu mwa Yudeya.
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.
Woseri yawapikaniriti vitwatira avi, waliholiti mumyoyu mwawu pawalonga, “Mwana ayu hakaweri gwa ntambu gaa?” Toziya nakaka makakala ga Mtuwa hagaweri pamuhera nayomberi.
67 And Zechariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke in a rapture of praise.
Zakariya, tati gwa Yohani kamemiziwiti Rohu Mnanagala, katungiti shisoweru shiwagira sha Mlungu.
68 "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel," he said, "Because He has not forgotten His people but has effected redemption for them,
Tumkwisi Mtuwa, Mlungu gwa Israeli! Kiza kuwatanga wantu wakuwi na kuwakombola.
69 And has raised up a mighty Deliverer for us In the house of David His servant--
Katupanana mlopoziya mkulu Mushiyiwuku sha Dawudi ntumintumi gwakuwi.
Gambira ntambu yakawagambiriti wambuyi wa Mlungu wananagala kwanjira kwanja. (aiōn g165)
71 To deliver us from our foes and from the power of all who hate us.
Hakatulopoziyi kulawa mumawoku mwa wangondu wetu na kutulaviya kulawa mumakakala mwa woseri yawatufira ndiri.
72 He dealt pitifully with our forefathers, And remembered His holy covenant,
Kalongiti hakawawoneri lusungu wambuyi wetu, na kulihola lipatanu lyakuwi linanagala.
73 The oath which He swore to Abraham our forefather,
Kulirapa kwakamlapiriti Aburahamu mbuyi gwetu,
74 To grant us to be rescued from the power of our foes And so render worship to Him free from fear,
kuwera hakatutangi twenga tulopoziwi kulawa kwa wangondu wetu. Katugambira tumtenderi Mlungu pota na lyoga,
75 In piety and uprightness before Him all our days.
tuweri wananagala yatumfiriziya Mlungu mashaka goseri ga makaliru getu.
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 gwenga mwana gwangu, hawakushemi mbuyi gwa Mlungu kakumpindi nentu. Toziya hagumlongoleri Mtuwa kumnyawila njira yakuwi,
77 To give to His People a knowledge of salvation In the forgiveness of their sins,
haguwagambiri wantu wakuwi kuwera hawalopoziwi kwa kuwawusilira vidoda vyawu.
78 Through the tender compassion of our God, Through which the daybreak from on high will come to us,
Mlungu gwetu mnanagala na yakawera na lusungu. Hakatulavilili gulangala gwa ulopoziya kulawa kumpindi,
79 Dawning on those who now dwell in the darkness and shadow of death--To direct our feet into the path of peace."
na kawalangazira woseri yawalikala muluwindu lwa kuhowa, na kuwalonguziya magulu getu munjira ya ponga.”
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 kendereyiti kukula nshimba na kuwera na makakala murohu. Kalikaliti kushiwala mpaka lishaka lya kuliranguziya mweni kwa wantu wa Israeli.
