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,
Ka talue poung e Theophilus, maimouh dawk kamnuek tangcoung e a konglamnaw hah,
2 as they did deliver to us, who from the beginning became eye-witnesses, and officers of the Word, —
apuengcue hoi kahmawt ni teh kapanuekkhainaw hoi lawk dawk thaw katawknaw ni maimouh koe a dei tangcoung e patetlah tami moikapap ni ca lahoi thut hanelah a panki awh.
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,
Kai ni hai apuengcue hoi ka kamtu e a konglamnaw pueng teh atang katang tie na panue thai nahanelah,
4 that thou mayest know the certainty of the things wherein thou wast instructed.
hote konglamnaw teh nang koe pou hruek hane kawi lah ao telah ka pouk.
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;
Judah ram ka uk e Herod Siangpahrang kut rahim vah Abijah tie vaihma miphun dawk hoi e vaihma Zekhariah teh ao. Ahnie a yu teh Aron e catoun, a min teh Elizabeth,
6 and they were both righteous before God, going on in all the commands and righteousnesses of the Lord blameless,
ahnimouh roi teh kâpoelawknaw pueng a tarawi roi, tounhoehe lah ao teh, Cathut hmalah tamikalan lah ao roi.
7 and they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and both were advanced in their days.
Elizabeth teh carôe dawkvah ahnimouh roi teh ca tawn roi hoeh. A kum haiyah a cue poung roi toe.
8 And it came to pass, in his acting as priest, in the order of his course before God,
Hatnavah, Zekhariah teh amae a huinaw hoi cungtalah atueng a pha toung dawkvah, Cathut hmalah vaihma thaw a tawk lahun nah,
9 according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot was to make perfume, having gone into the sanctuary of the Lord,
vaihmanaw e singyoe patetlah cungpam a khoe. Cathut e bawkim thung a kâen teh hmuitui hmai sawinae a sak.
10 and all the multitude of the people were praying without, at the hour of the perfume.
Hottelah Cathut koe a sak lahun navah taminaw pueng teh alawilah a ratoum awh.
11 And there appeared to him a messenger of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of the perfume,
Hatnavah Cathut e kalvantami teh Zekhariah hmalah a kamnue teh hmuitui hmaisawi thuengnae aranglah a kangdue.
12 and Zacharias, having seen, was troubled, and fear fell on him;
Zekhariah ni a hmu navah a kalue teh a taki.
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,
Kalvantami ni Zekhariah taket hanh, nange ratoumnae teh Cathut ni a thai toe. Na yu Elizabeth teh ca tongpa a khe han, a min teh Jawhan telah na phung han.
14 and there shall be joy to thee, and gladness, and many at his birth shall joy,
Nang teh na konawm vaiteh na lunghawi han, hote ca tongpa na khe kecu dawk taminaw pueng hai a konawm awh han.
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;
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni teh Cathut hmalah ka talue e tami lah ao han. Misurtui hoi parui kawinaw pueng net mahoeh. A manu e von thung ao nahoi Kathoung Muitha hoi akawi han.
16 and many of the sons of Israel he shall turn to the Lord their God,
Ahni ni Isarel catounnaw moikapap Cathut koe lah a kamlang sak han.
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.'
Ahni teh Cathut ni a tha e laicei lah ao vaiteh Profet Elijah patetlah muitha hnotithainae hoi kakawi e tami lah ao han. A napanaw hoi a capanaw kâpo sak vaiteh lawk ka ngai hoeh e taminaw hah tami kalannaw e lungangnae lam koe lah bout a hrawi han. Cathut e taminaw teh Bawipa hanelah coungkacoe lah ao thai nahan kârakueng awh telah a dei.
18 And Zacharias said unto the messenger, 'Whereby shall I know this? for I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days?'
Zekhariah ni kalvantami koevah hote hno a coung thai han doeh telah bangtelah hoi maw ka panue thai han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai teh, ka matawng toe, ka yu hai a matawng toe telah atipouh.
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,
Kalvantami ni kai teh Gabriel doeh, hete lunghawinae kamthang nang koe dei hanelah, na ka patoun e Cathut hmalah ka kangdout e doeh.
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.'
Nang teh kaie lawk na tang hoeh dawkvah hete hno a kuep hoehnahlan totouh lawk dei thai laipalah, na lawk a a han. Kaie ka lawk teh atueng a pha toteh a kuep han telah a dei pouh.
21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and wondering at his tarrying in the sanctuary,
Taminaw ni Zekhariah teh ngaihawi laihoi a ring awh teh bangkongmaw bawkim thung atu sittouh a o vaw titeh a kângairukhai awh.
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.
Ahni teh bawkim thung hoi a tâco navah lawk a dei thai hoeh dawkvah, kamnuenae a hmu telah a panue awh. Zekhariah teh a lawk a a dawkvah a kut khok hoi ahnimanaw koe a yavai pouh
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he went away to his house,
Vaihma thaw a tawk e atueng abaw hnukkhu Zekhariah teh im lah a ban.
24 and after those days, his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying —
Hathnukkhu hoi a yu Elizabeth teh camo a neng dawkvah thapa yung panga touh imthungkhu a kamung.
25 'Thus hath the Lord done to me, in days in which He looked upon [me], to take away my reproach among men.'
Cathut ni taminaw e hmalah kaie yeiraiponae pueng na la pouh toe a ti.
26 And in the sixth month was the messenger Gabriel sent by God, to a city of Galilee, the name of which [is] Nazareth,
Thapa yung taruk navah Cathut ni kalvantami Gabriel koe, Galilee ram Nazareth kho dawk kaawm e tangla koe a patoun.
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.
Hote tangla teh Devit miphun a min Joseph ka kâphung e tami hoi kâhâ tangcoung e lah ao. A min teh Meri doeh.
28 And the messenger having come in unto her, said, 'Hail, favoured one, the Lord [is] with thee; blessed [art] thou among women;'
Kalvantami ni Meri koe a tho teh na konawm haw, yawhawinae ka coe e napui nang teh Cathut ni na okhai telah atipouh.
29 and she, having seen, was troubled at his word, and was reasoning of what kind this salutation may be.
Meri ni hote lawk a thai navah a lungtâsue teh hote lawk teh bangpatet e lawk maw ati teh a kâpouk.
30 And the messenger said to her, 'Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God;
Kalvantami ni hai Meri na lungpuen hanh. Nang teh Cathut koe minhmai kahawi na hmu toe.
31 and lo, thou shalt conceive in the womb, and shalt bring forth a son, and call his name Jesus;
Nang teh camo na neng vaiteh ca tongpa na khe han, a min teh Jisuh telah na phung han.
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,
Hote capa teh ka lentoe poung e tami lah ao vaiteh Lathueng Poung e Capa telah kaw lah ao han. Cathut ni ahni teh a na pa Devit e bawitungkhung a poe han.
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob to the ages; and of his reign there shall be no end.' (aiōn g165)
Ahni ni Jakop catounnaw hah pout laipalah a uk han. Ahnie uknaeram teh poutnae awm mahoeh telah atipouh. (aiōn g165)
34 And Mary said unto the messenger, 'How shall this be, seeing a husband I do not know?'
Meri ni kai teh tongpa hoi kâ panuenae awmhoeh rah, hete hno heh kai koe bangtelamaw a coung thai han telah kalvantami hah a pacei.
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;
Kalvantami ni Kathoung Muitha nang dawk a pha toteh Lathueng Poung e bahu nang dawk ao han. Hatdawkvah khe lah kaawm e kathounge camo hah Cathut capa telah kaw lah ao han.
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;
Hothloilah cakaroe telah kaw e nange na hui Elizabeth teh camo a nengnae thapa yung taruk touh a pha toe.
37 because nothing shall be impossible with God.'
Cathut hanelah ka coung thai hoeh e hno buet touh hai awm hoeh telah bout a dei pouh.
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.
Meri ni kai teh Cathut e a sannu doeh, Bawipa e lawk patetlah kai dawk kuep lawiseh telah a dei pouh hnukkhu kalvantami ni a ceitakhai.
39 And Mary having arisen in those days, went to the hill-country, with haste, to a city of Judea,
Hathnukkhu Meri ni, Judah ram mon dawk kaawm e kho buet touh dawk karanglah a cei hnukkhu,
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
Zekhariah im dawk a kâen teh Elizabeth a pato.
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,
Meri ni a patonae lawk Elizabeth ni a thai navah a von thung e camo teh a kâroe. Elizabeth teh Kathoung Muitha hoi akawi teh,
42 and spake out with a loud voice, and said, 'Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb;
nang teh napuinaw pueng hlak yawkahawipoung e lah na o. Nange na von thung kaawm e camo hai a yawkahawi e tami doeh.
43 and whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord might come unto me?
Ka Bawipa e a manu ni kai koe a pha navah yawhawinae bangkongmaw kai ni ka coe.
44 for, lo, when the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, leap in gladness did the babe in my womb;
Nange na lawk kai ni ka thai navah kaie ka von thung e camo teh a lunghawi teh a coukdouk.
45 and happy [is] she who did believe, for there shall be a completion to the things spoken to her from the Lord.'
Bawipa ni a dei e lawk a kuep mingming han doeh telah ka yuem e napui teh a yawkahawi e doeh telah a hram laihoi a dei.
46 And Mary said, 'My soul doth magnify the Lord,
Meri nihai, ka lungthin ni Cathut a pholen teh,
47 And my spirit was glad on God my Saviour,
ka muitha ni ka rungngangkung Cathut dawk a lunghawi.
48 Because He looked on the lowliness of His maid-servant, For, lo, henceforth call me happy shall all the generations,
Bangkongtetpawiteh, amamae a sannu a kârahnoumnae na hmu pouh toe. Atu hoi hmalah ka tho hane a tami pueng ni a yawkahawi e tami telah na dei awh han.
49 For He who is mighty did to me great things, And holy [is] His name,
Athaonae hoi kakawi e Cathut ni hno kalen kai hanlah na sak pouh toe. A min teh thoung raw naseh.
50 And His kindness [is] to generations of generations, To those fearing Him,
Cathut ka taket e taminaw teh Bawipa e pahrennae ahnimouh dawk pou a kangning.
51 He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,
A kut hoi a hnotithainae teh a kamnue sak toe. Kâoupkâpawi e taminaw teh koung kathek kayak awh toe.
52 He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,
Bawitungkhungnaw dawk hoi khobawinaw a pabo teh, ka kârahnoum e taminaw a tawmdawm toe.
53 The hungry He did fill with good, And the rich He sent away empty,
A von kahlamnaw ka boum ca lah a paca vaiteh, katangrengnaw a kuthrawng lah a ban sak toe.
54 He received again Israel His servant, To remember kindness,
Maimae mintoenaw ni a dei e patetlah,
Abraham koehoi a catounnaw koe pahrennae pou a sak hanelah a pouk teh, amae san Isarelnaw a tawmdawm toe telah atipouh. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary remained with her about three months, and turned back to her house.
Meri teh Elizabeth koe thapa yung thum touh ao hnukkhu a ma im bout a ban.
57 And to Elisabeth was the time fulfilled for her bringing forth, and she bare a son,
Elizabeth teh a khenae hnin thapa a kuep navah ca tongpa teh a khe.
58 and the neighbours and her kindred heard that the Lord was making His kindness great with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
Cathut ni ka taluepoung e pahrennae Elizabeth koe a kamnue sak e hah imteng e a huikonaw ni a thai navah, ahni hoi cungtalah a konawm awh.
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,
Ataroe hnin vah, camo e vuensoma hanelah, a tho awh teh, a na pa e a min Zekhariah patetlah phung hane a kâdei awh.
60 and his mother answering said, 'No, but he shall be called John.'
A manu ni telah na phung mahoeh, Jawhan telah na phung han atipouh.
61 And they said unto her — 'There is none among thy kindred who is called by this name,'
Ahnimouh ni hai, nangmae miphun dawk telah min phung e tami buet touh hai awmhoeh rah atipouh awh.
62 and they were making signs to his father, what he would wish him to be called,
Hathnukkhu, a na pa ni bangtelamaw phung han a ngai telah a pacei awh.
63 and having asked for a tablet, he wrote, saying, 'John is his name;' and they did all wonder;
A na pa ni hai calung a hei teh Jawhan telah a min a thut navah, taminaw pueng ni kângai a ru awh.
64 and his mouth was opened presently, and his tongue, and he was speaking, praising God.
Telah a thut tahma vah Zekhariah teh lawk bout a dei thai teh Cathut a pholen.
65 And fear came upon all those dwelling around them, and in all the hill-country of Judea were all these sayings spoken of,
Imteng kaawmnaw pueng ni a taki awh teh, hete a konglamnaw pueng teh Judah ram pueng koe koung a kamthang.
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.
Ka thai e naw pueng ni a lung thung a pâkuem awh teh, hete camo teh bangpatet e tami lah maw ao han titeh a kâpankhai awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh Bawipa e hnotithainae teh camo hoi cungtalah ao.
67 And Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and did prophesy, saying,
Camo e a na pa Zekhariah teh, Kathoung Muitha hoi akawi teh profet lawk a dei,
68 'Blessed [is] the Lord, the God of Israel, Because He did look upon, And wrought redemption for His people,

69 And did raise an horn of salvation to us, In the house of David His servant,
Talaivan pek kamtawng hoi amae profet kathoungnaw ni a dei e patetlah,

71 Salvation from our enemies, And out of the hand of all hating us,
Hete hloutnae teh maimouh na ka taran e naw hoi ka maithoe e naw pueng, kut dawk hoi hloutnae doeh.
72 To do kindness with our fathers, And to be mindful of His holy covenant,
Maimae mintoenaw koe lung na patawnae kamnue sak hane hoi,
73 An oath that He sware to Abraham our father,

74 To give to us, without fear, Out of the hand of our enemies having been delivered,

75 To serve Him, in holiness and righteousness Before Him, all the days of our life.
maimae na pa Abraham koe thoungnae lawk a kam e hah pahnim hoeh nahanelah doeh.
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.

77 To give knowledge of salvation to His people In remission of their sins,

78 Through the tender mercies of our God, In which the rising from on high did look upon us,
Hote pahrennae lahoi kalvan hoi kanî raeng maimouh dawk a pha teh,
79 To give light to those sitting in darkness and death-shade, To guide our feet to a way of peace.'

80 And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit, and he was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
Hote camo teh, a roung takhang teh muitha thaonae hoi akawi. Isarel miphunnaw koe a kamnue hoehroukrak thingyeiyawn vah ao.
