Luka 1
1 NO ka mea, he nui ka poe i hoao i ka hooponopono i ka mooolelo no na mea i hanaia iwaena o makou,
As you know, many others have attempted to put down in writing the things that have been fulfilled that involve us.
2 E like mo ka hai ana mai ia makou a ka poe ike maka, mai ke kumu mai, ka poe hoalewehana hoi no ka olelo.
They based their accounts on evidence from the earliest eyewitnesses and ministers of the Word,
3 Manao iho la au he mea pono no'u, i ko'u huli ikaika ana a maopopo ia mau mea a pau, mai kinohi mai, e palapala hoakaka ia oe, e Teopilo ka mea kaalana,
and so I also decided that since I have followed these things very carefully from the beginning, it would be a good idea to write out an accurate account of all that happened.
4 I ike oe i ka oiaio o ua mau mea la i aoia'ku ai oe.
I have done this dear Theophilus so you can be certain that what you were taught is completely reliable.
5 IKE au ia Herode ke alii o Iudea, e noho ana kekahi kahuna, o Zakaria kona inoa, no ka papa o Abia; a o kana wahine, no na kaikamahine ia a Aarona, o Elisabeta kona inoa.
During the time when Herod was king of Judea, there was a priest called Zechariah, who came from the Abijah priestly division. He was married to Elizabeth, who was also descended from Aaron the priest.
6 Ua pono pu laua imua o ke Akua, e hele hala ole ana ma na kanawai a me na oihana a pau a ka Haku.
They both did what was right before God, being careful to follow all the Lord's commandments and regulations.
7 Aohe hoi a laua keiki, no ka mea, he pa o Elisabeta; a he nui no hoi ka laua mau makahiki.
They had no children because Elizabeth wasn't able to have any, and they were both growing old.
8 Eia kekahi, i kana hana ana i ka oihana kahuna imua o ke Akua, i ka manawa o kona papa,
While Zechariah was serving as a priest before God, on behalf of his priestly division,
9 Mamuli o ka oihana mua a ke kahuna, o kana hana keia, e kuni i ka mea ala i kona hele ana iloko o ka luakini o ka Haku.
he was chosen by lot according to priestly custom to enter the Temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10 E pule ana ka ahakanaka a pau mawaho, i ka hora i kukuniia'i ka mea ala.
During the time of offering incense a large crowd of people were praying outside.
11 Alaila ikeia aku la ka anela a ka Haku, e ka ana ma ka aoao akau o ke kuahu mea ala.
An angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing to the right of the altar of incense.
12 A ike aku o Zakaria ia ia, pihoihoi iho la ia, a kau mai la ka makau ia ia.
When Zechariah saw the angel, he was startled and became terrified.
13 I mai la ka anela ia ia, Mai makau oe, e Zakaria, no ka mea, ua loheia kau pule; a e hanau ana kau wahine o Elisabeta i keiki kane nau, a e kapa aku oe i kona inoa o Ioane.
But the angel told him, “Don't be afraid, Zechariah. Your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call him John.
14 A o hauoli ana hoi oe me ka olioli, a he nui no hoi ka poe e hauoli i kona hanau ana.
He will bring you joy and gladness, and many will celebrate his birth.
15 No ka mea, e nui auanei oia imua o ka Haku; aole ia e inu i ka waina, aole hoi i ka mea awaawa; o piha no hoi ia i ka Uhane Hemolele, mai ka opu mai o kona makuwahine.
He will be great in the sight of the Lord. He will refuse to drink wine or other alcoholic drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he's born.
16 E nui no hoi na mamo a Iseraela ana e hoohuli ai ma ka Haku, ma ko lakou Akua.
He will turn many Israelites back to the Lord their God.
17 E hele ana hoi ia mamua ona, me ka uhane a me ka mana o Elia, e hoohuli i ka naau o na makua i ka lakou mau keiki, a i ka poe lohe ole mamuli o ka naauao o ka poe pono; e hooponopono ai i kanaka makaukau no ka Haku.
He will go ahead of the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the fathers back to thinking about their children, and to turn those who are rebellious back to a right understanding—to prepare a people ready for the Lord.”
18 Ninau aku la o Zakaria i ka anela, Mahea la wau e ike ai ia mea? No ka mea, he kanaka kahiko wau, a he nui no hoi na makahiki o ka'u wahine.
“How can I be sure about this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “I'm an old man, and my wife is getting old too.”
19 Olelo mai la ka anela, i mai la ia ia, Owau no o Gaberiela, ka mea e ku ana imua o ke Akua; a ua hoounaia mai nei au e olelo ia oe, a e hai aku ia oe ia mau mea olioli.
“I am Gabriel,” the angel replied. “I stand in God's presence, and I was sent to speak to you and give you this good news.
20 Aia hoi, o paa ana kou leo, aole e hiki ia oe ke olelo, a hiki i ka la e ko ai ia mau mea, no ka mea, aole oe i manaoio mai i ka'u mau olelo, o hookoia auanei ia i ko lakou manawa.
But since you didn't believe what I told you, you'll become dumb, unable to speak, until the appointed time when my words come true.”
21 Kakali ae la na kanaka ia Zakaria, haohao iho la i kona loihi ana maloko o ka luakini.
Outside the people were waiting for Zechariah, wondering why he was taking so long in the Temple.
22 A puka ia iwaho, aole i hiki ia ia ke olelo mai ia lakou; a ike iho la lakou, ua ike oia i ka mea ikea iloko o ka luakini; no ka mea, kunou oia ia lakou, a ua paa no kona leo.
When eventually he came out, he wasn't able to speak to them. They realized he'd seen a vision in the Temple, for though he could make gestures, he was completely dumb.
23 Eia kekahi, i ka pau ana'e o na la o kana hana, hoi koke no ia i kona hale.
After he'd finished his time of service, he went back home.
24 A, mahope iho o ia mau la, hapai iho la kana wahine, o Elisabeta, a noho mehameha iho la ia i na malama elima, i iho la,
Some time later his wife Elizabeth became pregnant. She stayed at home for five months.
25 Oia ka ka Haku i hana mai ai no'u ia mau ia ana i manao mai ai e lawe aku i ka mea a'u i hoinoia mai ai iwaena o kanaka.
“The Lord has done this for me,” she said, “now that he's taken away my disgrace in the eyes of others.”
26 A i ke ouo o ka malama, na hoounaia mai o Gaberiela, mai ke Akua mai, i kekahi kulanakauhale i Galilaia, o Nazareta ka inoa,
In the sixth month of her pregnancy God sent the angel Gabriel to a young girl called Mary who lived in the town of Nazareth in Galilee.
27 I ka wahine puupaa i hoopalauia na kekahi kanaka, o Iosepa ka inoa, no ka ohana a Davida; a o Maria ka inoa o ua wahine puupaa la.
She was engaged to a man named Joseph.
28 A komo ka anela io na la, i mai la ia, Aloha oe, e ka mea i aloha nui ia, o ka Haku pu me oe. Pomaikai loa oe iwaena o na wahine.
The angel greeted her. “You are very privileged,” he told her. “The Lord is with you.”
29 A ike aku la, hopohopo iho la oia i kana olelo, a nalu iho la i ke ano o keia aloha ana.
Mary was very puzzled at what he said, and wondered what this greeting meant.
30 I mai la ka anela ia ia, Mai makau oe, e Maria; no ka mea, ua loaa ia oe ka lokomaikaiia mai e ke Akua.
“Don't worry, Mary,” the angel went on, “for God has shown his graciousness to you.
31 Eia hoi, e hapai auanei oe, a e hanau i ke keikikane, a e kapa iho oe i kona inoa, o IESU.
You will become pregnant and give birth to a son. You shall call him Jesus.
32 E nui auanei oia, a e kapaia 'ku, O ke Keiki a ka Mea kiekie loa; a e haawi hoi nona o Iehova ke Akua i ka nohoalii o Davida o kona makuakane.
He will be very great, and he will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of David his father,
33 E mau loa no hoi kona alii ana maluna o ka ohana a Iakoba; a o kona aupuni aole ia e pau. (aiōn g165)
and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. His kingdom will never come to an end.” (aiōn g165)
34 Alaila, ninau aku la o Maria i ka anela, Pehea la uanei ia mea? no ka mea, aole au ike i ke kane.
“How is this possible?” Mary asked. “I'm still a virgin.”
35 Olelo mai la ka anela, i mai la ia ia, E kau mai no ka Uhane Hemolele maluna iho ou; a e hoomalu mai ka mana o ka Mea kiekie loa ia oe, no ia mea la hoi, e kapaia ka mea hemolele au e hanau ai, o ke Keiki a ke Akua.
He replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you. The baby who is to be born is holy, and will be called the Son of God.
36 Aia hoi, o Elisabeta o kou hoahanau, ua hapai ae nei i ke keikikane i kona wa luwahine; eia hoi ke ono o ka malama o ka wahine i iia'e he pa.
And Elizabeth, your relative, even she is pregnant in her old age. The woman that people said couldn't have children is already six months pregnant.
37 No ka mea, aohe mea hiki ole i ke Akua.
Nothing is impossible for God.”
38 I aku la o Maria, Eia hoi ke kauwa wahine a ka Haku; e like me kau olelo, pela e hanaia mai ai no'u. Alaila, hele aku la ka anela mai ona aku.
“Here I am, ready to be the Lord's servant,” said Mary. “May it happen to me just as you said.” Then the angel left her.
39 Ia mau la, eu ae la o Maria, a hele wikiwiki aku la i ka aina manua, i kekahi kulanakauhale o Iuda;
A little while later, Mary got herself ready and hurried up into the hills of Judea, to the town where
40 A komo aku ia iloko o ka hale o Zakaria, a aloha aku la ia Elisabeta,
Zechariah's house was. She called out to Elizabeth as she went in.
41 Eia kekahi, i ka wa i lohe ai o Elisabeta i ko Maria aloha, lele iho la ke keiki iloko o kona opu; a hoopihaia o Elisabeta i ka Uhane Hemolele;
As soon as Elizabeth heard Mary's voice, the baby jumped for joy inside her. Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
42 A olelo mai la oia me ka leo nui, i mai la, Pomaikai loa oe iwaena o na wahine, Pomaikai hoi ka hua o kou opu,
and cried out in a loud voice, “How blessed you are among women, and how blessed will be the child born to you!
43 Nohea mai keia ia u, i hele mai nei ka makuwahine o ko'u Haku io'u nei?
Why am I so honored that the mother of my Lord should visit me?
44 No ka mea, aia hoi, i ka pae ana mai o kou aloha iloko o ko'u mau pepeiao, lele koke ae nei ke keiki i ka olioli iloko o ko'u opu.
As soon as I heard you call out in greeting, my baby jumped for joy inside me.
45 Pomaikai hoi ka wahine i manaoio; e hanaia no na mea i haiia mai ia ia e ka Haku.
How fortunate you are, because you are convinced that the Lord will do what he has promised you!”
46 Alaila, i aku la o Maria, Ke hoonani aku nei kuu uhane i ka Haku;
Mary replied, “How I praise the Lord!
47 Hauoli no hoi ko'u uhane i ke Akua i ko'u mea e ola'i;
I am so happy with God my Savior,
48 No ka mea, ua nana aloha mai oia i ka haahaa o kana kauwa wahine, Eia hoi, ma neia hope aku e iia mai au e na hanauna a pau, He pomaikai.
because he decided that I, his servant, was worthy of his consideration, despite my humble background. From now on every generation will say I was blessed.
49 No ka mea, o ka Mea mana, ua hana mai ia i na mea nani no'u. He hemolele hoi kona inoa.
God Almighty has done great things for me; his name is holy.
50 E mau ana kona aloha i ka poe makau ia ia, ia hanauna aku ia hanauna aku.
His mercy lasts for generation after generation to those who respect him.
51 Ua hoike mai oia i ka mana ma kona lima. Ua hoopuehu i ka poe i haaheo i ka manao o ko lakou naau.
With his power he has broken to pieces those who arrogantly think they're so clever.
52 Ua kiola iho la oia i na'lii ilalo mai luna mai o ko lakou mau nohoalii; a ua hookiekie ae hoi oia i ka poe haahaa.
He tears the powerful down from their thrones, and elevates those who are humble.
53 Ua hoomaona mai oia i ka pololi i na mea maikai; a ua hookuke hoi oia i ka poe waiwai me ka nele.
He fills the hungry with good things to eat, and he sends the rich away empty-handed.
54 Ua kokua mai oia i kana hanai ia Iseraela, me ka hoomanao i ke aloha,
He has helped his servant Israel, remembering him in mercy,
55 Mamuli o kana olelo na ko kakou poe kupuna, ia Aberahama, a me kona hua a mau loa aku. (aiōn g165)
just as he promised our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants for ever.” (aiōn g165)
56 Noho pa iho la o Maria me Elisabeta ekolu paha malama, alaila hoi ia i kona hale.
Mary stayed with her for three months and then returned home.
57 A hiki ko Elisabeta manawa e hanau ai; hanau iho la oia i ke keikikane.
The time came for Elizabeth to have her baby and she gave birth to a son.
58 Lohe iho la na hoalauna, a me na hoahanau ona, i ko ka Haku lokomaikai nui ana ia ia; a olioli pu ae la lakou me ia.
Her neighbors and relatives heard how the Lord had showed her great kindness, and they celebrated together with her.
59 Eia kekahi, i ka walu o ka la hele mai lakou e okipoepoe i ke keiki; kapa ae la lakou ia ia mamuli o ka inoa o kona makuakane, o Zakaria.
Eight days later they came to circumcise the boy. They planned to call him Zechariah after his father.
60 Olelo aku la kona makuwahine, i aku la, Aole; aka, e kapaia 'ku no ia o Ioane.
“No,” Elizabeth said. “He shall be called John.”
61 I mai la lakou ia ia, Aole ou boahanau i kapaia'ku ma keia inoa.
“But there's nobody among your relatives who has this name,” they told her.
62 Ninau ae la lakou ma ke kunou ana i kona makuakane i ka inoa ana i makemake ai e kapaia'ku oia.
Through gestures they asked Zechariah, the boy's father, what he wanted to call his son.
63 Noi ae la ia i papa palapala, kakau iho la, i ae la, O Ioane kona inoa. A kahaha iho la ko loko o lakou a pau.
Zechariah motioned for something to write on. To everyone's surprise he wrote, “His name is John.”
64 A wehe koke ia iho la kona waha a me kona elelo, a olelo aku la ia me ka hoolea i ke Akua.
Immediately he could speak again, and he started praising God.
65 Kau mai la hoi ka makau maluna o ka poe a pau e kokoke mai ana ia lakou. Kukui ae la ka lono o ua mau mea la a puni ka aina manua o Iudea.
All those living nearby were in awe at what had happened, and the news spread throughout the hill country of Judea.
66 A o ka poe a pau i lobe, nalu iho la lakou ma ko lakou mau naau, e i ana iho, Heaha la uanei ke ano o keia keiki? Aia me ia ka lima o ka Haku.
Everyone who heard the news wondered what it meant. “What will the little boy grow up to be?” they asked, for it was clear he was very special to God.
67 A o Zakaria kona makuakane, ua piha ia i ka Uhane Hemolele, wanana mai la oia, i mai la,
Zechariah, his father, filled with the Holy Spirit, spoke this prophecy:
68 E hoomaikaiia ka Haku ke Akua o ka Iseraela; no ka mea, ua ike mai, a ua hoola hoi ia i kona poe kanaka.
“The Lord, the God of Israel, he is wonderful, for he has come to his people and set them free.
69 Ua kukulu mai nei oia i mea mana e ola'i no kakou, iloko o ka hale o Davida o kana kauwa;
He has given us a great Savior from the line of his servant David,
70 E like me kana i hai mai ai ma ka waha o kana mau kaula hemolele mai ke kumu mai o ke ao nei: (aiōn g165)
as he promised through his holy prophets long ago. (aiōn g165)
71 E pakele ai kakou i ko kakou poe enemi, a i ka lima hoi o ka poe a pau e inaina mai ia kakou;
He promised to save us from our enemies, from those who hate us.
72 E hana lokomaikai ana mai i ko kakou poe kupuna, a me ka hoomanao ana hoi i kana berita hemolele:
He was merciful to our fathers, remembering his holy agreement—
73 I ka mea hoohiki ana i hoohiki ai no Aberahama, no ko kakou kupuna,
the promise that he made to our father Abraham.
74 E haawi mai oia ia kakou, i ka pakele ana i ka lima o ko kakou poe enemi, e malama wiwo ole aku kakou ia ia,
He gives us freedom from fear and rescues us from our enemies,
75 Me ka hemolele a me ka pono imua o kona alo, i na la a pau o ke ola ana o kakou.
so we can serve him by doing what is good and right for our whole lives.
76 A o oe, e ke keiki nei, e kapaia'e oe, He kaula na ka mea kiekie loa; no ka mea, e hele ana oe imua o ka maka o ka Haku, e hoomakaukau i na alanui nona;
Even though you are only a small child, you will be called the prophet of the Most High, for you will go ahead of the Lord to prepare his way,
77 E hoike ana i kona poe kanaka i ke ola, ma ke kala ana iho i ko lakou mau hewa,
providing knowledge of salvation to his people through the forgiveness of their sins.
78 No ka lokomaikai io o ko kakou Akua; no kahi mea i puka mai ai ka malamalama ia kakou mai luna mai,
Through God's caring kindness to us, heaven's dawn will break upon us
79 E hoomalamalama i ka poe e noho ana i ka pouli, a iloko hoi o ka malu o ka make, a e alakai hoi i ko kakou mau wawae ma ka aoao e maluhia ai.
to shine on those who live in darkness and under the shadow of death, and to guide us along the path of peace.”
80 A nui ae la ua keiki la, ikaika ae la hoi kona manao; ma na wahi nahele no hoi ia, a hiki i ka la o kona hoikeia i ka Iseraela.
The boy John grew and became spiritually strong. He lived in the desert until the time came for his public ministry to Israel.
