Luke 1
1 Whereas many have undertaken to compose a narrative of the things, which have been fully certified among us;
Abhanu bafu bhekomesishe okujitonda kisi emisango jinu jakumiye agati yeswe.
2 as they delivered them to us, who were from the beginning eye-witnesses of them, and ministers of the word;
Lwakutyo eswe chayabhwilwe na bhanu bhajilolele na ameso kwambila kubhwambilo bhali bhakosi bho Omusango gwa Nyamuanga.
3 it seemed good to me also, having thoroughly traced them all from the very first, to write an account of them in order to thee,
Kulwejo anye ona, nejile namala okukengela kisi obhwambilo bhwe emisango jona- nalola ati nikisi nikwandikile kubhwitondi bhwajo-Teofilo owechibhalo.
4 most excellent Theophilus, that thou mayst know the certainty of the things wherein thou hast been instructed.
Koleleki utule okumenya echimali che emisango jinu weigisibhwe.
5 There was in the days of Herod king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the family of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
Munsiku ja Herode omukama wa Yudea, aliga alio omugabisi atogwaga Zakaria, owamulubho lwo obhugabhisi bhwa Abiya; omugasi waye Elizabeti aliga asokole muluganda lwa Haruni.
6 And they were both righteous in the sight of God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Abho bhone bhaliga bhali bhalengelesi imbele ya Nyamuanga bhagwatiliye ebhilagilo byona ebhyo Omukama na jindamu jaye.
7 And they had no child, for Elisabeth was barren; and they were both far advanced in years.
Nawe bhaliga bhatana mwana, kulwokubha Elizabethi aliga alimugumba, na bhaliga bhakokoye muno.
8 And it came to pass, while he was in the order of his course performing the priest's office before God,
Kakingile akatungu ko olubho lwa Zakaria okubha imbele ya Nyamuanga nakolaga emilimu jobhugabhisi,
9 according to the custom of dividing the office of the priests, that it fell to his lot to burn incense, entring into the temple of the Lord:
Mbe nibhamusola okwingana lwa kutyo bhasolwaga mumilimu jo obugabhisi, agende mwiyekalu okututa omuchumulilo.
10 and all the people were praying without at the time of offering incense.
Katungu nibhatuta omuchumulilo elikofyanya lyaliga lilianja nilisabhwa.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right hand of the altar of incense.
Mbe Malaika wo Omukama amufulumukiyeko nemelegulu mukubhoko kwe ebhulyo okwe ebhigabhilo bhokututila.
12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was startled and struck with fear:
Ejile Zakaria amulola natinyuka nabhamo nobhubha.
13 but the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias; for thy prayer is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John:
Nawe malaika namubhwila ati, “Wasiga kubhaya Zakaria, kulwokubha lisabhwa lyao lyongwibhwa. Omugasi wao Elijabeti kaja okwibhulila omwana we echilume. Risina lyaye umutoge Yoana.
14 and he shall be a joy and transport to thee, yea, many shall rejoice on account of his birth; for he shall be great in the sight of the Lord,
Ulikondelwa nokusandabha, na bhanfu bhalikondelelwa ukwibhulwa kwaye.
15 and he shall drink neither wine nor any other strong liquor; and he shall be filled with the holy Spirit even from his birth;
Kulwokubha alibha mukulu imbele ya meso go Omukama. Atalinywa omulamba gwa majabhibhu amwi echinu chinu echitamisha, na alijusibhwa Mwoyo Mweru kusokelela munda ya nyilamwene.
16 and many of the children of Israel shall he convert unto the Lord their God.
Alubhasubhya bhanu bhafu bha Isiraeli kumukama Nyamuanga webhwe
17 And he shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to prepare for the Lord a people well-disposed.
Alitangata imbele yo obhusu bhwa Lata Bhugenyi kulwo mwoyo na mumanaga ga Eliya. Alikola kutyo koleleki asubye emitima ja abhebhusi kubhana, koleleki bhanyantongwa bhalame mubhwengeso bhwa abhalengelesi. Alikola kutyo okubhemalilisha bhanu bhelabhilwe okusolwa ingulu yaye.”
18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife far advanced in years.
Zakaria nabhwila malaika ati, “Omusango gunu enigumenya kutiki? Kulwokubha anye nakokoye ke emyaka jo omugasi wani ona jabheye myafu muno.”
19 And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God, and I am sent to speak to thee, and to tell thee this good news:
Malaika nasubhya namubhwila ati, “Anye nanye Gabhulyeli, unu nimeleguyu imbele ya Nyamuanga. Nitumilwe okuja nikubhwile omusango gunu ogwekisi.
20 and now shalt thou be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall come to pass; because thou believedst not my words, which shall be fulfilled at their season.
Mbe lola oubha mujibhi, utakwaika kukingila kulusiku olwo jinu jilikumila. Kulwokubha walemele okwikilisha emisango jani ejojilikumila mukatungu akene.
21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and wondered at his staying so long in the temple:
Mbe abhanu bhaliga bhamulindiliye zakaria. Nibhalugula okulola namala omwanya mulela ali mwiyekalu.
22 but when he came out he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them, and continued speechless:
Nawe ejile auluka atatule kwaika nabho. Nibhamenya ati aliga alolele chiroro mwiyekaru.
23 and as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
Nijibha ati ejile amala emilimu jo obhugabhisi nemuka okusubha ika owaye.
24 And after these days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and retired five months,
Ejile Zakaria amala okusubha ika okusoka kumilimu jaye eja muyekalu, omugasi waye nagega inda. Mbe namala mesi gatanu obhutasoka ika owaye. Naika ati,
25 saying, the Lord hath thus dealt with me in the days wherein he looked upon me to take away my reproach among men.
“Linu nilyo Lata Bhugenyi amankolelea ejile ansima koleleki ansosheko jinswalo imbele ya abhanu.”
26 But in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee called Nazareth,
Inda ya Elijabheti yejile yakingya mesi mukaga, Nyamuanga atumile malaika Gabhulieli okugenda mumusi gwa Galilaya gunu ogutogwa Najareti,
27 to a virgin who was betrothed to a man, whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.
ku muyalajuma unu asandwaga obhuko no mulume natogwa Yusufu. Omumula oyo aliga wamuluganda lwa Daudi, na lisina lyo omuyalajuma aliga natogwa Mariamu.
28 And when the angel came in to the room to her, he said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured; the Lord is with thee;
Ejile amukingako naika ati, “Uno omu! embe, unu Uyabhilwe libhando enene! Omukama ali amwi nawe.”
29 blessed art thou among women! and when she saw him, she was confused at what he said, and pondered in her mind what sort of salutation this could be.
Nawe emisango ja malaika nijimusobhela nalema okumenya obhukesha obhwokulugusha bhunu bhuna nsongaki ku mwene.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favor with God:
Malaika namubhwila ati “Utobhaya, Mariamu, obha wabhwene ribhando ku Nyamuanga.
31 and behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS:
Rora ougega inda Munda yao no owibhula omwana na lisina ryae oumutoga Yesu. omwene
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God shall give Him the throne of David his father,
alibha mukuru alitogwa omwana wa unu ali inguru muno Lata Bhugenyi Nya Daudi esemwene
33 and He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
Alikama oruganda lwa Yakobo kajanende no bhukama bhwaye bhutaliwao. (aiōn g165)
34 Then said Mary to the angel, How can this be, since I am a virgin?
Mariamu nabhusya malaika jiribha kutiki okubha nitana murume.
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee, and therefore thine holy offspring shall be called the Son of God: and lo,
Malaika namubhira “moyo mweru alikwijila inguru yao, namanaga unu aliinguru muno Anja inguru yao. ku nokubha omwana unu kebhulwa alitongwa omwana wa Nyamuanga
36 thy cousin Elisabeth also hath conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her that was called barren;
Lola, omuili wao Elijabheti ali na inda yo mwana mu bhulame bhae obhwo bhukaluk. Kunu ni kwesi kwa sita kwa inda yae, unu aliga natogwa mugumba.
37 for nothing is impossible with God.
Kulwokubha litalio linu elimusinga Nyamuanga.”
38 Then Mary said, Behold the servant of the Lord, may it be unto me according to thy word. So the angel departed from her.
Maliamu naikati, Lola, anye ndi mukosi we chigasi wa Nyamuanga. Siga jibhe kutyo aikile kwanye emisango jao.”Neya malaika namusiga.
39 Then Mary arose and went with speed into the hill-country, to a city of Juda,
Nio kunsiku ejo Mariamu nagenda bhwangu mu chalo chebhima, mu musi mu nsi ya Yudea.
40 and came into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
Agendele nengila munyumba ya Jakalia namukesha Elijabheti.
41 And as soon as Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the child leaped in her womb, and Elisabeth was filled with the holy Spirit:
Oli yabhonekene ati Elijabheti ejile inkesha ya Maliamu, omwana munda yae nejunga, na Elijabheti nejushwa no mwoyo mwelu.
42 and she cried out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb:
Naikila ingulu kwo bhulaka bhunene,”una libhando agati ya bhagasi bhona, no mwana unu ali munda yao ona abhonekewe.
43 and whence is this honor to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Jabhakutiki kwanye ati, nyila wa Latabhugenyi jimwiile aje kwanye?
44 for behold, as soon as the voice of thy salutation reached my ears, the child in my womb leaped for joy:
Kulwokubha lola, anu nongwo obhulaka bhwo kukeshyanya kwao, omwana munda yani nejunga ku lwokusandabha.
45 and blessed is she that believed; for there shall be a performance of the things that were told her from the Lord.
Na abhonekeweomugasi oyo unu ekilisishe ati jakabhonekene jinu jaikilwe jili ja chimali jinu abhwiliwe okusoka ku Latabhugenyi.”
46 And Mary said, "My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour;
Maliamu naikati, omwoyo gwani ogumukuya Latabhugenyi,
47 for He hath regarded the low estate of his handmaid:
No mwoyo gwani gukondelewemu Nyamuanga omukisha wani.
48 for behold, from henceforth shall all generations call me blessed:
Kulwokubha amalola kutyo ali mwololoomukosi wae owechigasi. Lola, okwambila woli jinyibhulo jona ejija okumbilikila owamabhando.
49 for He that is mighty hath done great things for me,
Kulwokubha omwene owobhutulo amakola amgambo manene kwanye, na lisina lyae ni lyelu.
50 and his name is holy, and his mercy is on them that fear Him, unto all generations.
Nechigongo chae chilio okusoka maimbo na maimbo ku bhanu bhanu abhamwikilisha.
51 He hath wrought powerfully with his arm; He hath confounded those that were proud in the imagination of their heart.
Olesishe amanaga kwo kubhoko kwae, anyalambuye bhanu bhekushaga ingulu yo bhwiganilisha bhwe mioyo jebhwe.
52 He hath cast down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the humble.
Abhatelemusishe ansi abhana bha bhakama okusoka kubhitebhe bhyebhwe ebhyobhukama no kubhakusha bhanu bhaliga bhagailwe.
53 He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He hath sent away empty.
Abhegusishe bhanu bhaliga bhana omweko gwe bhinu bhyekisi, tali abhanibhi abhabhilimishe bhatali na chinu.
54 He hath supported Israel his servant,
Asosishe obhusakisi ku Israel omukosi wae, koleleki okwichuka okwolesha echigongo
55 in remembrance of his mercy (even as He promised to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed, ) for ever." (aiōn g165)
(lwakutyo aikile ku bhalata bheswe) ku Abrahamu no lwibhulo lwae kajanende.” (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her own house.
Maliamu ekae na Elijabheti kwa mwanya gwa mesi gasatu kutya nio nasubha ika ewae.
57 Now when Elisabeth's time for her delivery was fully come, she brought forth a son:
Woli omwanya gwaliga gweile ogwa Elijabheti okwibhula omwana wae na nebhula omwana we chilume.
58 and her neighbours and kindred heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they congratulated her;
Abhekashanya bhae na bhaili bhae bhonguhywe kutyo Latabhugenyi amwikisishe echigongo kumwene, nibhakondelelwa amwi nage.
59 and on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child: and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father:
Woli jasokene ku lusiku lwa nane ati bhejile okumtenda omwana. Jaliga jibheile okumtoga lisina lyae, “Jakaliya,”kwo kulubha lisina lye esemwene,
60 but his mother said, No, but he shall be called John:
Tali nyila wae nasubhya naikati,”Payi; kabhilikilwa Yowana.”
61 and they said to her, There is none of thy relations of this name.
Nibhamubwilati, atalio na umwi amwi mubhaili bhao unu kabhilikilwa lisinaelyo.”
62 And they made signs to his father, what name he would have him called by.
Nibhamukolela echijejekanyo esemwene wae okususanyisha omwene aliga nenda atogwe niga.
63 And he called for a writing-tablet, and wrote upon it, His name is John: and they all wondered.
Esemwene nenda olubao lwo kwandikila, na nandikati,”Lisina lyae ni Yowana.”Bhona nibhalugusibhwa nelyo.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake and praised God.
Aonao omunwa gwae nigwiguka no lulimi lwae nilusulumuka. Naloma nakumukusha Nyamuanga.
65 And an awe fell upon all that dwelt round about them; and all these things were divulged through the whole hill-country of Judea.
Nibhobhaya bhona bhanu bhaliga bhekae ayeyi nabho. Emisango ejo nijiswila muchalo chona echa mabhanga ga Yudeya.
66 And all that heard them, laid them up in their hearts, saying, What a child will this be? And the hand of the Lord was with him.
Bhona bhanu bhagonguhye nibhagabhika mumitima jebhwe, nibhaika ati, “Omwana unu ni wakutiki?” Kulwokubha okubhoko kwa Nyamuanga kuliamwi nage.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the holy Spirit,
Esemwene wae Jakaliya ejusibhwe no Mwoyo Mwelu nasosha obhulagi, naikati, Asimwe
68 and prophesied, saying, "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,
Latabhugenyi, Nyamuanga wa Isilaeli, kulwokubha amasakila na amafulubhendela omwelulo gwa bhanu bhae.
69 and hath raised up an horn of salvation for us,
Amachinamusisha liyembe elyomwelulo mu nyumba yo mukosi wae Daudi, okusoka mubhamwi bho luganda lwo mukosi wae Daudi,
70 in the house of his servant David, as He spake by the mouth of his holy prophets from the beginning, (aiōn g165)
Lwakutyo aikile kwo munwa gwa bhalagi bhae bhanu bhaliga bhalio ku mwanya gwa kala. (aiōn g165)
71 even salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
Kaja ochikisha okusoka kubhasoko bheswe no kusoka mumabhoko gabhanu bhachiyatile.
72 to display his mercy towards our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
Alikola kutya okwolesha echigongo kubhalata, nokwichuka lilagano lyae lyo bhwelu,
73 according to the oath which He sware to Abraham our father,
no mulayi gunu aikile ku lata weswe Aburamu.
74 to grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him,
Alaiye okwolesha ati jakatulikene okumukolela Omwene atali na bhubuha, chisanga chamalile okuchungulwa okusoka mumabhoko ga bhasoko bheswe.
75 all the days of our life.
Mubhwelu no bhulengelesi lmbele yaye munsiku jeswe jona.
76 And thou, my child, shalt be called the prophet of the most High; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord,
Yee, aona mwana, oubhilikilwa mulagi wa Unu ali ingulu muno, kulwokubha ouja okugenda mubhusu bhwa Latabhugenyi koleleki okumuchumila injila, okubhamenyesha abhanu kulwokuja kwae,
77 to make known salvation to his people,
Okubhamenyesha abhanu bhae ati, bhalichungulwa kwo kwiswalililwa ebhibhibhi bhyebhwe.
78 in the remission of their sins, through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring hath visited us from on high,
Linu libhonekene kulwainsonga ye chigongo cha Nyamuanga weswe, kulwainsonga ati lisubha okusoka ingulu lilichijila,
79 to enlighten them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet into the way of peace."
Okumulikila bhanu bhanu bhekae muchisute na mwilengesi lyo lufu. Kakola kutyo okutangasha amagulu geswe mu njila yo mulembe.”
80 And the child grew, and became strong in spirit: and he was in the deserts till the time of his being manifested to Israel.
Woli, omwana oyo nakula nabha namanaga ge chinyamwoyo na ekae mwibhala kukinga olusiku lwo kubhonekana kwae ku Isilaeli.
