Luke 1
1 Seeing that many did take in hand to set in order a narration of the matters that have been fully assured among us,
Kanao maro ty nandrambe am-pitàñe handahatse talily amo raha atokisantikañeo
2 as they did deliver to us, who from the beginning became eye-witnesses, and officers of the Word, —
manahake ty nitaroña’ iareo ama’ay, ie nivalolombeloñe boak’am-baloha’e nimpitoroñe i tsaray ama’ay,
3 it seemed good also to me, having followed from the first after all things exactly, to write to thee in order, most noble Theophilus,
le satriko ka, ie hinotsohotsoko boak’ am-baloha’e i hene rezay, ty hanokitse talily soa filahatse ho azo, ry roandria Teofilo,
4 that thou mayest know the certainty of the things wherein thou wast instructed.
hahafohina’o ty hatò’ i tsara nañohañe azoy.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Abijah, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elisabeth;
Teo tañ’andro’ i Heroda mpanjaka’ Iehodà, ty mpisoroñe atao Zakaria, am-pirimboña’ i Abia; boak’ amo anak’ ampela’ i Aroneo ty tañanjomba’e, i Elizabeta ty tahina’e.
6 and they were both righteous before God, going on in all the commands and righteousnesses of the Lord blameless,
Songa vantañe añatrefan’ Añahare iereo roroe; tsy amam-pitsikoañe ty fañaveloa’iareo amo lily naho fepè’ Iehovào.
7 and they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and both were advanced in their days.
Tsy nanañ’ anake fa betsiterake t’i Elizabeta vaho sambe nigain-kantetse ie roroe.
8 And it came to pass, in his acting as priest, in the order of his course before God,
Aa ie nitoroñe ami’ty naham-pisoroñe aze añatrefan’Añahare ami’ty fifandimbezam-pirimboña’e t’i Zakaria;
9 according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot was to make perfume, having gone into the sanctuary of the Lord,
le amy lilim-pisoroñañey, nitsatok’ ama’e ty hañemboke, le nimoak’ an-kibohon’ Añahare ao,
10 and all the multitude of the people were praying without, at the hour of the perfume.
vaho hene nilolok’ alafe’e ao i màroy amy fotoam-pañembohañey.
11 And there appeared to him a messenger of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of the perfume,
Nisodeha ama’e amy zao ty anjeli’ i Talè, nijohañe an-kavana’ i kitrelim-pañembohañey.
12 and Zacharias, having seen, was troubled, and fear fell on him;
Nianifañe t’i Zakaria te nahaoniñe, nihohokòhoke, vaho nidoiña’ ty firevendreveñañe.
13 and the messenger said unto him, 'Fear not, Zacharias, for thy supplication was heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name John,
Le hoe ty asa’ i anjeliy tama’e; Ko hemban-drehe Zakaria fa jinanjiñe i halali’oy le hisama-dahy ama’o t’i Elizabeta tañanjomba’o vaho toñono ty hoe Jaona ty añara’e.
14 and there shall be joy to thee, and gladness, and many at his birth shall joy,
Ho fale naho ehake irehe vaho maro ty hirebek’ amy hisamaha’ey,
15 for he shall be great before the Lord, and wine and strong drink he may not drink, and of the Holy Spirit he shall be full, even from his mother's womb;
amy t’ie ho ra’elahy añatrefa’ Iehovà, naho tsy hinon-divay ndra toake, vaho ie mbe an-kovin-drene’e ao ro ho lifore’ i Arofo Masiñey.
16 and many of the sons of Israel he shall turn to the Lord their God,
Maro amo ana’ Israeleo ty hampitolihe’e amy Iehovà Andrianañahare’ey.
17 and he shall go before Him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn hearts of fathers unto children, and disobedient ones to the wisdom of righteous ones, to make ready for the Lord, a people prepared.'
Ie hañavelo añatrefa’eo ami’ty arofo naho haozara’ i Elia, hampitolihe’e amo anakeo ty tron-droae naho mb’ami’ty fahihira’ o vantañeo o manjehatseo, hampihentseñe ondaty veka’e ho a Iehovà.
18 And Zacharias said unto the messenger, 'Whereby shall I know this? for I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days?'
Aa hoe t’i Zakaria tamy anjeliy; Aia ty haharendrehako t’ie to? Bey iraho naho migain-kantetse ka ty valiko.
19 And the messenger answering said to him, 'I am Gabriel, who have been standing near before God, and I was sent to speak unto thee, and to proclaim these good news to thee,
Tinoi’ i anjeliy ty hoe, Izaho n’o Gabriele mpijohañe añatrefan’ Añahareo; niraheñe hivolañ’ ama’o, hitaroñe o talili-soa zao.
20 and lo, thou shalt be silent, and not able to speak, till the day that these things shall come to pass, because thou didst not believe my words, that shall be fulfilled in their season.'
Fe inao! ho moan-drehe, tsy hahasaontsy ampara’ t’ie tafetetse, ami’te tsy natokisa’o o volakoo, ie ho heneke amy nifantañañey.
21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and wondering at his tarrying in the sanctuary,
Nandiñe i Zakaria ondatio, nilatsa t’ie tambatse amy toetse miavakey ao.
22 and having come out, he was not able to speak to them, and they perceived that a vision he had seen in the sanctuary, and he was beckoning to them, and did remain dumb.
Ie niavotse, le tsy nahasaontsy am’ iereo naho nioni’ iereo te niboahan-draha añ’ anjomba miavak’ ao, ie nanondrotondro am’iareo, fa le lia’e nimoañe.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he went away to his house,
Ie amy zao, naho niheneke o andro fitoroña’eo, le nimpoly mb’añ’ anjomba’e añe.
24 and after those days, his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying —
Añe i andro rezay le niareñe t’i Elizabeta, vali’e, vaho nipalitse lime volañe, fa hoe ty asa’e:
25 'Thus hath the Lord done to me, in days in which He looked upon [me], to take away my reproach among men.'
Zao ty nanoe’ Iehovà amako amy andro nivazoho’ey, hañafaha’e amako ty sirika’ondatio.
26 And in the sixth month was the messenger Gabriel sent by God, to a city of Galilee, the name of which [is] Nazareth,
Ie amy fah’enembola’ey le niraheñe boak’ aman’Añahare ao t’i Gabriela anjely homb’an-drova atao Nazareta e Galilia añe,
27 to a virgin, betrothed to a man, whose name [is] Joseph, of the house of David, and the name of the virgin [is] Mary.
mb’ami’ty somondrara nifofoe’ t’indaty atao Iosefe, anjomba’ i Davide, Marie ty añara’ i somondraray.
28 And the messenger having come in unto her, said, 'Hail, favoured one, the Lord [is] with thee; blessed [art] thou among women;'
Niheo ama’e i anjeliy nanao ty hoe; Akore ry isoheñe! mitahy azo t’Iehovà.
29 and she, having seen, was troubled at his word, and was reasoning of what kind this salutation may be.
Nitsonevotse amy zao re amy tsara’ey, le nitsakore i fañontanea’ey.
30 And the messenger said to her, 'Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God;
Ko hemban-drehe, Marie, hoe i anjeliy fa nanjò fañisohañe aman’ Añahare.
31 and lo, thou shalt conceive in the womb, and shalt bring forth a son, and call his name Jesus;
Oniño t’ie hiareñ’ an-koviñ’ ao le hisama-dahy, vaho hatao’o Iesoà ty añara’e
32 he shall be great, and Son of the Highest he shall be called, and the Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father,
Ho fanalolahy re, le ho toñoneñe ty hoe: Ana’ i Andindimoneñey naho hatolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare aze ty fiambesa’ i Davide rae’e;
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob to the ages; and of his reign there shall be no end.' (aiōn g165)
le ho fehe’e nainae’e ty anjomba’ Iakobe vaho tsy ho modo i fifehea’ey. (aiōn g165)
34 And Mary said unto the messenger, 'How shall this be, seeing a husband I do not know?'
Le hoe t’i Marie tamy anjeliy; Akore ty hahamete’ izay, izaho tsy mahavany lahy?
35 And the messenger answering said to her, 'The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee, therefore also the holy-begotten thing shall be called Son of God;
Aa le hoe ty natoi’ i anjeliy aze; Hitotsak’ ama’o i Arofo Masiñey, hañalok’ azo ty haozara’ i Andindimoneñey; le ho toñoneñe ty hoe, Anan’ Añahare, i Masiñe hasama’oy.
36 and lo, Elisabeth, thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her who was called barren;
Inao te niaren-dahy ka t’i Elizabeta longo’o ndra te bey; fa enem-bolañe henaneo i natao betsiterakey,
37 because nothing shall be impossible with God.'
Toe tsy eo ty tsy lefen’ Añahare.
38 And Mary said, 'Lo, the maid-servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to thy saying,' and the messenger went away from her.
Hoe t’i Marie; Intoy ty anak’ ampata’ Iehovà; lonike te ho amako i sinaontsi’oy. Le nienga aze i anjeliy.
39 And Mary having arisen in those days, went to the hill-country, with haste, to a city of Judea,
Niongake amy andro rezay t’i Marie, nikapikapike mb’an-tanàñe ambohibohi’ Iehodà mb’eo;
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
le nimoak’ añ’ anjomba’ i Zakaria ao vaho nañontane i Elizabeta.
41 And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe did leap in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
Ie jinanji’ i Elizabeta i fañontanea’ i Mariey, le nivoañe ty ajaja an-tro’e ao; mbore nilifore’ i Arofo Masiñey t’i Elizabeta.
42 and spake out with a loud voice, and said, 'Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb;
Le ty hoe ty napaza’e; Haha amy ze atao ampela irehe vaho soatata ty anake hasama’o.
43 and whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord might come unto me?
Ia ka iraho, te nitilihe’ ty rene’ i Talèkoy?
44 for, lo, when the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, leap in gladness did the babe in my womb;
Hete! ie nimoak’ an-tsofiko ao i feom-pañontanea’oy le nisondrakak’an-kaehake ty ajaja an-troko ato.
45 and happy [is] she who did believe, for there shall be a completion to the things spoken to her from the Lord.'
En-droa, haha i niantoke te ho henefeñe ama’e o raha nitsarae’ Iehovày.
46 And Mary said, 'My soul doth magnify the Lord,
Aa le nanao ty ti-hoe t’i Marie: Mañonjoñe Iehovà ty fiaiko,
47 And my spirit was glad on God my Saviour,
vaho mirebek’ aman’Añahare mpandrombak’ ahy ty troko;
48 Because He looked on the lowliness of His maid-servant, For, lo, henceforth call me happy shall all the generations,
Nivazohoe’e ty hasotria’ i anak’ am-pata’ey, Oniño te hanao ahy haha ze hene tariratse henane zao.
49 For He who is mighty did to me great things, And holy [is] His name,
Nanao raha fiain-tane amako i Maozatsey—masiñe ty tahina’e.
50 And His kindness [is] to generations of generations, To those fearing Him,
Ferenaiña’e pak’an-tariratse an-tariratse o mañeveñe ama’eo.
51 He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,
Nampiboaha’e haozarañe ty fità’e; naparatsia’e o mpiebotsebotse am-pitsakorean-tro’eo.
52 He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,
Nafotsa’e amo fiambesam-bolo- nahe’eo o fanalolahio, vaho naonjo’e o mpirèkeo.
53 The hungry He did fill with good, And the rich He sent away empty,
Nanjàñe’e raha soa o nisalikoo, fe nampolie’e hara’e o mpañalealeo.
54 He received again Israel His servant, To remember kindness,
Nimbae’e t’Israele mpitoro’e, hahatiahia’e i fiferenaiñañe
nitsarae’e amy Abraàme naho amo tarira’e nainai’eoy, i nampitamà’e an-droaen-tikañey. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary remained with her about three months, and turned back to her house.
Telo volañe varàñe ty nitoboha’ i Marie ama’e ao vaho nimpoly mb’añ’anjomba’e añe.
57 And to Elisabeth was the time fulfilled for her bringing forth, and she bare a son,
Henek’ amy zao o andro nahatoly i Elizabetao, le nisama-dahy.
58 and the neighbours and her kindred heard that the Lord was making His kindness great with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
Jinanji’ ondaty mpitrao-tanàñe ama’eo naho o longo’eo t’ie niferenaiña’ Iehovà, le nitrao-kafaleañe ama’e.
59 And it came to pass, on the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling him by the name of his father, Zacharias,
Ie ami’ty andro faha-valo, le nasese ho savareñe i ajajay, vaho ho natao’ iereo Zakaria ty añara’e amy te izay ty tahinan-drae’e,
60 and his mother answering said, 'No, but he shall be called John.'
fa hoe ka ty natoin-drene’e; Aiy! hatao ty hoe Jaona re.
61 And they said unto her — 'There is none among thy kindred who is called by this name,'
Aa hoe ty asa’ iareo tama’e; Leo raik’ aman-drolongo’o tsy nitoñoneñe amy tahinañe zay.
62 and they were making signs to his father, what he would wish him to be called,
Le nañatsikatsik’ an-drae’e iereo, ami’ty hoe: Ia ty satri’o hitokavañ’ aze.
63 and having asked for a tablet, he wrote, saying, 'John is his name;' and they did all wonder;
Nipay fanokiran-dre vaho nanokitse ty hoe: I Jaona ty añara’e. Aa le hene nidaba.
64 and his mouth was opened presently, and his tongue, and he was speaking, praising God.
Nisokak’ ami’ty manao zao ty falie’e naho nibalake i famele’ey vaho nisaontsy am-pandrengeañe an’ Andrianañahare.
65 And fear came upon all those dwelling around them, and in all the hill-country of Judea were all these sayings spoken of,
Hene nangebahebake o mpimoneñe nañohoke iareoo, vaho nirehafeñe mb’eo mb’eo ambohibohi’ Iehodà ao irezay.
66 and all who heard did lay them up in their hearts, saying, 'What then shall this child be?' and the hand of the Lord was with him.
Songa nitsakore ty hoe añ’ arofo ao ze nahaoniñe: Ty ajaja ho akore v’itoio? Le nitahy aze ty fità’ Iehovà.
67 And Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and did prophesy, saying,
Lifotse i Arofo Masiñey amy zao t’i Zakaria rae’e vaho nitoky ty ti-hoe:
68 'Blessed [is] the Lord, the God of Israel, Because He did look upon, And wrought redemption for His people,
Andriañeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, fa nitilihe’e vaho jineba’e ondati’eo.
69 And did raise an horn of salvation to us, In the house of David His servant,
Nampitroara’e tsifam-pandrombahañe tika añ’anjomba’ i Davide mpitoro’e ao,
Nitsara am-palie’ o mpitoky miavakeo i teo nainai’e am-pifotora’ ty voatse toiy, (aiōn g165)
71 Salvation from our enemies, And out of the hand of all hating us,
t’ie ho rombaheñe amo rafelahin- tikañeo, naho am-pità’ o malaiñe an-tikañeo,
72 To do kindness with our fathers, And to be mindful of His holy covenant,
Hiferenaiña’e o roazan-tikañeo, naho ho tiahi’e i fañina’e miavakey,
73 An oath that He sware to Abraham our father,
i fanta nifantà’e amy Abraàme raentikañey,
74 To give to us, without fear, Out of the hand of our enemies having been delivered,
t’ie hatolo’e amantikañe, ie fa vinotso’e amo rafelahintikañeo, hitoroñ’ aze tsy an-kahembañañe,
75 To serve Him, in holiness and righteousness Before Him, all the days of our life.
am-piavahañe naho an-kavantañañe añatrefa’e amo hene andro iveloman-tikañeo.
76 And thou, child, Prophet of the Highest Shalt thou be called; For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, To prepare His ways.
Le ihe, anako, ty hatao Mpitoki’ i Andindimoneñey, amy te Ihe ty hiaolo i Talè hañajary ty lala homba’e,
77 To give knowledge of salvation to His people In remission of their sins,
hampahaoniñe ondati’eo ty fandrombahañe ie hinahan-kakeo,
78 Through the tender mercies of our God, In which the rising from on high did look upon us,
ami’ty fiferenaiñan’ Añaharen-tika— ie nampitilihe’e an-tika i fanjiriha’e boak’ añ’aboy,
79 To give light to those sitting in darkness and death-shade, To guide our feet to a way of peace.'
Hanolora’e hazavàñe o mpitoboke añ’ieñe ao naho an-talinjon-kavilasio, hiaoloa’e mb’an-dalan-kanintsiñe mb’eo o fandian-tikañeo.
80 And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit, and he was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
Nitombo i ajajay le nihaozatse an-troke vaho nitoets’am-babangoañe añe ampara’ ty andro niboaha’e am’Israele.
