Luka 1
1 Mutane da yawa sun ɗau niyyar rubuta labarin abubuwan da aka cika a cikinmu,
Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
2 kamar yadda muka karɓe su daga waɗanda tun farko shaidu ne da kuma masu hidimar bishara.
even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
3 Saboda haka, da yake ni da kaina na binciko kome a hankali daga farko, na ga ya yi kyau in rubuta maka labarin dalla-dalla, ya mafifici Tiyofilus,
it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus;
4 don ka san tabbacin abubuwan da aka koyar da kai.
that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
5 A lokacin da Hiridus ne yake sarautar Yahudiya, an yi wani firist mai suna Zakariya, na sashin firistoci gidan Abiya. Matarsa Elizabet ma’yar zuriyar Haruna ce.
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
6 Dukansu biyu kuwa masu adalci ne a gaban Allah, suna kuma bin umarnan Ubangiji da farillansa duka da halin rashin zargi.
They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
7 Sai dai ba su da’ya’ya, domin Elizabet bakararriya ce; kuma dukansu biyu sun tsufa.
But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
8 Wata rana da lokacin aikin firistoci na sashen Zakariya na yin hidima ya kewayo, yana kuma cikin hidimarsa ta firist a gaban Allah,
Now it happened, while he was performing the priest's office before God in the order of his division,
9 sai aka zaɓe shi ta wurin ƙuri’a, bisa ga al’adar aikin firist, yă shiga haikalin Ubangiji yă ƙone turare.
according to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10 Da lokacin ƙone turare ya yi, duk taron masu sujada suna a waje suna addu’a.
And the whole crowd of people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
11 Sai mala’ikan Ubangiji ya bayyana gare shi, tsaye a dama da bagaden turare.
An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Da Zakariya ya gan shi sai ya firgita, tsoro kuma ya kama shi.
Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
13 Amma mala’ikan ya ce masa, “Kada ka ji tsoro, Zakariya; an ji addu’arka. Matarka Elizabet za tă haifa maka ɗa, za ka kuma ba shi suna Yohanna.
But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.
14 Zai zama abin murna da farin ciki a gare ka, mutane da yawa kuwa za su yi murna don haihuwarsa,
You will have joy and gladness; and many will rejoice at his birth.
15 gama zai zama mai girma a gaban Ubangiji. Ba kuwa zai taɓa shan ruwan inabi ko wani abu mai sa maye ba. Zai cika da Ruhu Mai Tsarki tun haihuwa.
For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he must never drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
16 Shi ne zai juye mutanen Isra’ila da yawa zuwa wurin Ubangiji Allahnsu.
He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord, their God.
17 Zai sha gaban Ubangiji, a ruhu da kuma iko irin na Iliya, domin yă juye zukatan iyaye ga’ya’yansu, marasa biyayya kuma ga zama masu biyayya don yă kintsa mutane su zama shiryayyu domin Ubangiji.”
He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
18 Sai Zakariya ya tambayi mala’ikan ya ce, “Yaya zan tabbatar da wannan? Ga ni tsoho, matana kuma ta kwana biyu.”
Zechariah said to the angel, "How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years."
19 Mala’ikan ya ce, “Ni ne Jibra’ilu. Ina tsaya a gaban Allah, an kuma aiko ni in yi maka magana, in kuma faɗa maka wannan labari mai daɗi.
The angel answered him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news.
20 Yanzu za ka zama bebe, ba za ka ƙara iya magana ba sai ranar da wannan magana ta cika, saboda ba ka gaskata da kalmomina waɗanda za su zama gaskiya a daidai lokacinsu ba.”
And look, you will be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things will happen, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time."
21 Ana cikin haka, mutane suna jiran Zakariya, suna kuma mamaki me ya sa ya daɗe haka a cikin haikali.
The people were waiting for Zechariah, and they were wondering why he was delayed in the temple.
22 Da ya fito, bai iya yin musu magana ba. Sai suka gane, ya ga wahayi ne a haikali, domin ya dinga yin musu alamu, amma ya kāsa yin magana.
When he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.
23 Da lokacin hidimarsa ya cika, sai ya koma gida.
It happened, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
24 Bayan wannan, matarsa Elizabet ta yi ciki, ta kuma riƙa ɓuya har wata biyar.
After these days Elizabeth, his wife, conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,
25 Sai ta ce, “Ubangiji ne ya yi mini wannan. A waɗannan kwanaki ya nuna tagomashinsa ya kuma kawar mini da kunya a cikin mutane.”
"Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my disgrace among people."
26 A wata na shida, sai Allah ya aiki mala’ika Jibra’ilu zuwa Nazaret, wani gari a Galili,
Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 gun wata budurwar da aka yi alkawarin aurenta ga wani mutum mai suna Yusuf daga zuriyar Dawuda. Sunan budurwar Maryamu.
to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.
28 Mala’ikan ya je wurinta ya ce, “A gaishe ki, ya ke da kika sami tagomashi ƙwarai! Ubangiji yana tare da ke.”
Having come in, the angel said to her, "Greetings, favored one. The Lord is with you."
29 Maryamu ta damu ƙwarai da kalmominsa, tana tunani wace irin gaisuwa ce haka?
But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of greeting this might be.
30 Amma mala’ikan ya ce mata, “Kada ki ji tsoro, Maryamu, kin sami tagomashi a wurin Allah.
The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 Ga shi za ki yi ciki ki kuma haifi ɗa, za ki kuma ba shi suna Yesu.
And look, you will conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and will call his name 'Jesus.'
32 Zai zama mai girma, za a kuma kira shi Ɗan Maɗaukaki. Ubangiji Allah zai ba shi gadon sarautar kakansa Dawuda,
He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father, David,
and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his kingdom." (aiōn g165)
34 Maryamu ta tambayi mala’ikan ta ce, “Yaya wannan zai yiwu, da yake ni budurwa ce?”
Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?"
35 Mala’ikan ya amsa ya ce, “Ruhu Mai Tsarki zai sauko miki, ikon Maɗaukaki kuma zai rufe ke. Saboda haka, Mai Tsarkin nan da za a haifa, za a kira shi Ɗan Allah.
The angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born will be called the Son of God.
36 ’Yar’uwarki Elizabet ma za tă haifi ɗa a tsufanta, ita da aka ce bakararriya, ga shi tana a watanta na shida.
And look, Elizabeth, your relative, also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
37 Gama ba abin da zai gagari Allah.”
For with God nothing will be impossible."
38 Maryamu ta amsa ta ce, “To, ni baiwar Allah ce, bari yă zama mini kamar yadda ka faɗa.” Sai mala’ikan ya tafi abinsa.
And Mary said, "See, the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word." The angel departed from her.
39 A lokacin sai Maryamu ta shirya ta gaggauta zuwa wani gari a ƙasar tudu ta Yahudiya,
Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,
40 inda ta shiga gidan Zakariya ta kuma gai da Elizabet.
and entered into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
41 Da Elizabet ta ji gaisuwar Maryamu, sai jaririn da yake a cikinta ya yi motsi. Elizabet kuma ta cika da Ruhu Mai Tsarki.
It happened, when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, that the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
42 Sai ta ɗaga murya da ƙarfi ta ce, “Ke mai albarka ce a cikin mata. Mai albarka ne kuma ɗan da za ki haifa!
She called out with a loud voice, and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
43 Me ya sa na sami wannan tagomashi har da mahaifiyar Ubangijina za tă zo wurina?
Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Da jin gaisuwarki, sai jaririn da yake cikina ya yi motsi don murna.
For look, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy.
45 Mai albarka ce wadda ta gaskata cewa abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa mata zai cika!”
Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord."
46 Sai Maryamu ta ce, “Raina yana ɗaukaka Ubangiji
Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord.
47 ruhuna kuma yana farin ciki da Allah Mai Cetona,
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 gama ya lura da ƙasƙancin baiwarsa. Daga yanzu nan gaba dukan zamanai za su ce da ni mai albarka,
for he has looked at the humble state of his servant girl. For look, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
49 gama Mai Iko Duka ya yi mini manyan abubuwa, sunansa labudda Mai Tsarki ne.
For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
50 Jinƙansa ya kai ga masu tsoronsa, daga zamani zuwa zamani.
His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear him.
51 Ya aikata manyan ayyuka da hannunsa; ya watsar da waɗanda suke masu girman kai a zurfin tunaninsu.
He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 Ya saukar da masu mulki daga gadajen sarautarsu amma ya ɗaukaka ƙasƙantattu.
He has put down princes from their thrones. And has exalted the lowly.
53 Ya ƙosar da masu yunwa da kyawawan abubuwa amma ya sallami mawadata hannu wofi.
He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.
54 Ya taimaki bawansa Isra’ila, yana tunawa yă nuna jinƙai
He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his offspring forever." (aiōn g165)
56 Maryamu ta zauna da Elizabet kusan wata uku sa’an nan ta koma gida.
Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.
57 Sa’ad da kwanaki suka yi don Elizabet ta haihu, sai ta haifi ɗa.
Now the time that Elizabeth should give birth was fulfilled, and she brought forth a son.
58 Maƙwabtanta da’yan’uwanta suka ji cewa Ubangiji ya nuna mata jinƙai mai yawa, suka kuma taya ta farin ciki.
Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they rejoiced with her.
59 A rana ta takwas, sai suka zo don a yi wa yaron kaciya, dā za su sa masa sunan mahaifinsa Zakariya ne,
It happened on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zechariah, after the name of the father.
60 amma mahaifiyar yaron ta ce, “A’a! Za a ce da shi Yohanna.”
His mother answered, "Not so; but he will be called John."
61 Sai suka ce mata, “Ba wani a cikin danginku mai wannan suna.”
They said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name."
62 Sai suka yi alamu wa mahaifinsa, don su san sunan da zai su a kira yaron.
They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
63 Ya yi alama a kawo masa allo, a gaban kowa sai ya rubuta, “Sunansa Yohanna.” Dukan mutane kuwa suka yi mamaki.
And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they were all amazed.
64 Nan da nan bakinsa ya buɗe harshensa kuma ya saku, sai ya fara magana yana yabon Allah.
His mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.
65 Maƙwabta duk suka cika da tsoro, mutane kuwa suka yi ta yin magana game da dukan waɗannan abubuwa a ko’ina a cikin ƙasar tudu ta Yahudiya.
Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.
66 Duk waɗanda suka ji wannan kuwa sun yi mamaki suna cewa, “To, me yaron nan zai zama?” Gama hannun Ubangiji yana tare da shi.
All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, "What then will this child be?" The hand of the Lord was with him.
67 Mahaifinsa Zakariya ya cika da Ruhu Mai Tsarki sai ya yi annabci ya ce,
His father, Zechariah, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
68 “Yabo ya tabbata ga Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, domin ya zo ya kuma fanshe mutanensa.
"Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited and worked redemption for his people;
69 Ya tā mana ƙahon ceto a gidan bawansa Dawuda
and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
(as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets who have been from of old), (aiōn g165)
71 cewa zai cece mu daga abokan gābanmu daga kuma hannun dukan waɗanda suke ƙinmu

In holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
76 “Kai kuma, ɗana, za a ce da kai annabin Maɗaukaki; gama za ka sha gaban Ubangiji don ka shirya masa hanya,
And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to make ready his ways,

to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins,

80 Yaron kuwa ya yi girma ya kuma ƙarfafa a ruhu; ya zauna a hamada sai lokacin da ya fito a fili ga mutanen Isra’ila.
The child was growing, and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
