Luk 1
1 Ebe ọ bụ nʼọtụtụ mmadụ agbalịala otu ha nwere ike i detu nʼusoro ihe niile mezuru nʼetiti anyị.
Forsothe for manye men enforceden to ordeyne the tellyng of thingis, whiche ben fillid in vs,
2 Dị ka e nyefere ha nʼaka anyị idebe bụ ndị ahụ sitere na malite jiri anya ha hụ ihe niile, ndị jikwa okwu a eje ozi.
as thei that seyn atte the bigynnyng, and weren ministris of the word,
3 Ekpebikwara m, ebe mụ onwe m nyocharala ihe niile nke ọma site na mmalite, ka m dere gị ihe niile nʼusoro, Tiofilọs, gị onye dị elu a na-asọpụrụ.
bitaken, it is seen also to me, hauynge alle thingis diligentli bi ordre, to write to thee,
4 Nke a ga-eme ka ị mata nke bụ eziokwu banyere ihe ndị ahụ e ziri gị.
thou best Theofile, that thou knowe the treuthe of tho wordis, of whiche thou art lerned.
5 Nʼoge Herọd bụ eze Judịa, ọ dị otu onyeisi nchụaja aha ya bụ Zekaraya, onye si nʼotu ndị nchụaja nke Abija. Elizabet bụ nwunye ya, site nʼagbụrụ Erọn.
In the daies of Eroude, kyng of Judee, ther was a prest, Sakarie bi name, of the sorte of Abia, and his wijf was of the douytris of Aaron, and hir name was Elizabeth.
6 Ha abụọ bụ ndị ezi omume nʼihu Chineke. Ha debere iwu na ụkpụrụ niile Onyenwe anyị nyere na-enweghị ntụpọ ọbụla.
And bothe weren iust bifor God, goynge in alle the maundementis and iustifiyngis of the Lord, withouten pleynt.
7 Mana ha amụtaghị nwa, nʼihi na Elizabet bụ nwanyị agaa, ha abụọ emeela nnọọ agadi.
And thei hadden no child, for Elizabeth was bareyn, and bothe weren of grete age in her daies.
8 O ruru mgbe ọ bụ ndị otu Zekaraya ga-eje ozi, ọ nọ dịka onye nchụaja na-eje ozi nʼihu Chineke.
And it bifel, that whanne Zacarie schulde do the office of preesthod, in the ordre of his cours tofor God,
9 A họpụtara ya site nʼife nza dị ka omenaala ndị nchụaja si dị ka ọ bụrụ ya ga-abanye nʼime ime ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ nke e ji ụda na-esi isi ụtọ achụ.
aftir the custome of the preesthod, he wente forth bi lot, and entride in to the temple, to encense.
10 Mgbe oge ịchụ aja ụda na-esi isi ụtọ ruru, igwe ndị mmadụ bịara nọ nʼezi na-ekpe ekpere.
And al the multitude of the puple was with outforth, and preiede in the our of encensyng.
11 Mgbe ahụ, mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị, onye guzo nʼaka nri nke ebe ịchụ aja nke ihe na-esi isi ụtọ mere ka ọ hụ ya anya.
And an aungel of the Lord apperide to hym, and stood on the riythalf of the auter of encense.
12 Mgbe Zekaraya hụrụ ya, obi fepụrụ ya, ọ tụkwara oke egwu.
And Zacarie seynge was afraied, and drede fel vpon hym.
13 Ma mmụọ ozi ahụ gwara ya sị, “Zekaraya atụla egwu, Chineke anụla ekpere gị. Elizabet nwunye gị ga-atụrụ ime mụtara gị nwa nwoke. Ị ga-akpọkwa aha ya Jọn.
And the aungel seide to hym, Zacarie, drede thou not; for thi preyer is herd, and Elizabeth, thi wijf, schal bere to thee a sone, and his name schal be clepid Joon.
14 Ọ ga-abụrụ gị ihe oke ọṅụ na obi ụtọ, ọtụtụ mmadụ ga-aṅụrịkwa ọṅụ nʼihi ọmụmụ ya.
And ioye and gladyng schal be to thee; and many schulen `haue ioye in his natyuyte.
15 Nʼihi na ọ ga-abụ onye dị ukwuu nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. Ọ gaghị aṅụkwa mmanya ọbụla, maọbụ ihe ọṅụṅụ ọbụla na-egbu egbu nʼihi na site nʼafọ nne ya ọ ga-abụ onye emejupụtara na Mmụọ Nsọ.
For he schal be greet bifor the Lord, and he schal not drynke wyn and sidir, and he schal be fulfillid with the Hooli Goost yit of his modir wombe.
16 Ọ ga-akpọghachite ọtụtụ ụmụ Izrel nye Onyenwe ha bụ Chineke ha.
And he schal conuerte many of the children of Israel to her Lord God;
17 Ma ọ ga-aga nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼike mmụọ na ike nke Ịlaịja, tụgharịa obi ndị bụ nna nʼebe ụmụ ha nọ. Meekwa ka ndị isiike tụgharịa obi, lekwasị anya nʼamamihe nke ndị ezi omume, na ijikere ụmụ mmadụ nʼihi Onyenwe anyị.”
and he schal go bifor hym in the spirit and the vertu of Helie; and he schal turne the hertis of the fadris in to the sones, and men out of bileue to the prudence of iust men, to make redi a perfit puple to the Lord.
18 Zekaraya sịrị mmụọ ozi ahụ, “Olee otu m ga-esi mata na nke a ga-adị otu a? Abụrụla m agadi. Nwunye m akakwaala nka.”
And Zacarie seide to the aungel, Wherof schal Y wite this? for Y am eld, and my wijf hath gon fer in to hir daies.
19 Mmụọ ozi zara ya sị, “Abụ m Gebrel. Ana m eguzo nʼihu Chineke. Ezitere m ka m bịa gwa gị okwu ma wetara gị oziọma a.
And the aungel answeride, and seide to hym, For Y am Gabriel, that stonde niy bifor God; and Y am sent to thee to speke, and to euangelize to thee these thingis.
20 Ma lee, ị ga-ada ogbi, ị gaghị ekwukwa okwu ọbụla, tutu ruo mgbe ihe ndị a ga-emezu nʼihi na i kwenyeghị nʼokwu m, nke ga-emezu mgbe oge ya ruru.”
And lo! thou schalt be doumbe, and thou schalt not mow speke til in to the dai, in which these thingis schulen be don; for thou hast not bileued to my wordis, whiche schulen be fulfillid in her tyme.
21 Mgbe ihe ndị a niile na-eme, mmadụ ndị ahụ nọkwa na-eche Zekaraya ka ọ pụta. O juru ha anya na ọ nọọla ọdụ nʼime ime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
And the puple was abidynge Zacarie, and thei wondriden, that he tariede in the temple.
22 Mgbe o mesịrị pụta, o nwekwaghị ike ikwuru ha okwu. Ha ghọtara na ọ hụrụ ọhụ nʼime ụlọnsọ ahụ nʼihi na ọ bụ aka ka o ji gwa ha okwu.
And he yede out, and myyte not speke to hem, and thei knewen that he hadde seyn a visioun in the temple. And he bikenyde to hem, and he dwellide stille doumbe.
23 Mgbe oge ịrụ ọrụ ya gwụsịrị, ọ laghachiri nʼụlọ ya.
And it was don, whanne the daies of his office weren fulfillid, he wente in to his hous.
24 Mgbe ụbọchị ndị ahụ gasịrị, Elizabet bụ nwunye ya tụụrụ ime. O zoro onwe ya nʼime ụlọ ọnwa ise.
And aftir these daies Elizabeth, his wijf, conseyuede, and hidde hir fyue monethis, and seide,
25 Ọ sịrị, “Onyenwe anyị emeerela m nke a. O gosila m ihuọma ya nʼụbọchị ndị a, ma wepụkwara m ihere nʼetiti ndị nke m.”
For so the Lord dide to me in the daies, in whiche he bihelde, to take awei my repreef among men.
26 Ma nʼọnwa isii ya, Chineke zigara mmụọ ozi ya, bụ Gebrel, ka ọ gaa nʼobodo Nazaret nke dị nʼime Galili.
But in the sixte moneth the aungel Gabriel was sent fro God in to a citee of Galilee, whos name was Nazareth,
27 Ka o jekwuru otu nwaagbọghọ na-amaghị nwoke bụ onye otu nwoke aha ya bụ Josef, onye sitere nʼagbụrụ Devid, kwere nkwa ịlụ. Aha nwaagbọghọ a bụ Meri.
to a maidyn, weddid to a man, whos name was Joseph, of the hous of Dauid; and the name of the maidun was Marie.
28 O jekwuru ya sị ya, “Ekele! Gị onye ihuọma dịkwasịrị. Onyenwe anyị nọnyekwara gị.”
And the aungel entride to hir, and seide, Heil, ful of grace; the Lord be with thee; blessid be thou among wymmen.
29 Ma obi lọrọ ya mmiri nke ukwuu nʼihi okwu ya. O bidokwara ịtụgharị nʼuche ya ihe ekele a pụtara.
And whanne sche hadde herd, sche was troublid in his word, and thouyte what maner salutacioun this was.
30 Ma mmụọ ozi ahụ sịrị ya, “Atụla egwu Meri, nʼihi na i chọtala ihuọma nʼebe Chineke nọ.
And the aungel seide to hir, Ne drede thou not, Marie, for thou hast foundun grace anentis God.
31 Ma lee ị ga-atụrụ ime, mụọ nwa nwoke. Ị ga-akpọkwa aha ya Jisọs.
Lo! thou schalt conceyue in wombe, and schalt bere a sone, and thou schalt clepe his name Jhesus.
32 Ọ ga-abụ nnukwu mmadụ onye a ga-akpọ Ọkpara Onye kachasị ihe niile elu. Onyenwe anyị Chineke ga-enye ya ocheeze nna ya Devid.
This schal be greet, and he schal be clepid the sone of the Hiyeste; and the Lord God schal yeue to hym the seete of Dauid, his fadir,
and he schal regne in the hous of Jacob with outen ende, and of his rewme schal be noon ende. (aiōn g165)
34 Meri sịrị mmụọ ozi ahụ, “Olee otu nke a ga-esi mee ebe m bụ nwaagbọghọ na-amaghị nwoke?”
And Marie seide to the aungel, On what maner schal this thing be doon, for Y knowe not man?
35 Mmụọ ozi ahụ sịrị ya, “Mmụọ Nsọ ga-abịakwasị gị, ike nke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu ga-ekpuchikwa gị. Ya mere onye nsọ ahụ a ga-amụ, a ga-akpọ ya Ọkpara Chineke.
And the aungel answeride, and seide to hir, The Hooly Goost schal come fro aboue in to thee, and the vertu of the Hiyeste schal ouerschadewe thee; and therfor that hooli thing that schal be borun of thee, schal be clepid the sone of God.
36 Lekwa Elizabet onye ikwu gị atụrụla ime nwa nwoke nʼagadi ya. Nke a bụ ọnwa isii ya, bụ onye ahụ ha na-akpọ nwanyị aga.
And lo! Elizabeth, thi cosyn, and sche also hath conceyued a sone in hir eelde, and this moneth is the sixte to hir that is clepid bareyn;
37 Nʼihi na ọ dịghị okwu sitere na Chineke nke na-agaghị ere.”
for euery word schal not be inpossible anentis God.
38 Meri zaghachiri sị, “Abụ m ohu Onyenwe anyị, ka ọ dịrị m dị ka i kwuru.” Mgbe ahụ mmụọ ozi ahụ hapụrụ ya laa.
And Marie seide, Lo! the handmaydyn of the Lord; be it don to me aftir thi word. And the aungel departide fro hir.
39 Nʼoge ahụ, Meri biliri gaa ọsịịsọ nʼotu obodo dị nʼugwu Juda.
And Marie roos vp in tho daies, and wente with haaste in to the mounteyns, in to a citee of Judee.
40 Nʼebe ahụ, ọ banyere nʼụlọ Zekaraya, kelee Elizabet.
And sche entride in to the hous of Zacarie, and grette Elizabeth.
41 Mgbe Elizabet nụrụ ekele Meri, nwa nọ ya nʼafọ megharịrị ahụ. E mere ka Elizabet jupụta na Mmụọ nsọ.
And it was don, as Elizabeth herde the salutacioun of Marie, the yong child in hir wombe gladide. And Elizabeth was fulfillid with the Hooli Goost,
42 O tiri mkpu nʼoke olu sị, “Onye a gọziri agọzi ka ị bụ nʼetiti ụmụ nwanyị niile. Onye a gọziri agọzi ka nwa ahụ ị bu nʼafọ bụkwa.
and criede with a greet vois, and seide, Blessid be thou among wymmen, and blessid be the fruyt of thi wombe.
43 Onye kwanụ ka m bụ na ihuọma dị otu a kpọrọ m na nne Onyenwe m ga-abịa ileta m?
And whereof is this thing to me, that the modir of my Lord come to me?
44 Ngwangwa m nụrụ olu ekele gị, nwa nọ m nʼafọ wuliri elu nʼọṅụ.
For lo! as the voice of thi salutacioun was maad in myn eeris, the yong child gladide in ioye in my wombe.
45 Ngọzị ga-adịrị onye ahụ kwere na Onyenwe anyị ga-emezu ihe o kweere ya na nkwa ime.”
And blessid be thou, that hast bileued, for thilke thingis that ben seid of the Lord to thee, schulen be parfitli don.
46 Ma Meri sịrị, “Mkpụrụobi m na-ebuli Onyenwe anyị elu
And Marie seide, Mi soule magnyfieth the Lord,
47 mmụọ m na-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼime Chineke bụ Onye nzọpụta m,
and my spirit hath gladid in God, myn helthe.
48 nʼihi na o ledatala anya, lekwasị m, bụ odibo ya dị ala. Site ugbu a gaa nʼihu, ọgbọ niile ga-akpọ m onye a gọziri agọzi.
For he hath biholdun the mekenesse of his handmaidun.
49 Nʼihi na Onye dị ike emeelara m ihe dị ukwuu. Aha ya dịkwa nsọ.
For lo! of this alle generaciouns schulen seie that Y am blessid. For he that is myyti hath don to me grete thingis, and his name is hooli.
50 Ebere ya na-erute ndị niile na-atụ egwu ya site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.
And his mercy is fro kynrede in to kynredes, to men that dreden hym.
51 O gosila ike aka ya; ọ chụsasịala ndị dị mpako nʼime echiche obi ha.
He made myyt in his arme, he scaterede proude men with the thouyte of his herte.
52 O sitela nʼocheeze ndị eze dị ike kwatuo ha, buliekwa ndị dị umeala nʼobi elu.
He sette doun myyti men fro sete, and enhaunside meke men.
53 O jirila ihe dị mma nyejuo ndị agụụ na-agụ afọ ma ndị ọgaranya ka o zipụrụ nʼaka efu.
He hath fulfillid hungri men with goodis, and he hath left riche men voide.
54 O nyerela odibo ya bụ Izrel aka, ọ na-echetakwa imere ya ebere.
He, hauynge mynde of his mercy, took Israel, his child;
as he hath spokun to oure fadris, to Abraham and to his seed, in to worldis. (aiōn g165)
56 Meri nọnyeere ya ihe dịka ọnwa atọ ma mesie laghachi nʼụlọ ya.
And Marie dwellide with hir, as it were thre monethis, and turnede ayen in to hir hous.
57 Mgbe oge zuru ka Elizabet mụọ nwa, ọ mụrụ nwa nwoke.
But the tyme of beryng child was fulfillid to Elizabeth, and sche bare a sone.
58 Ndị agbataobi ya na ndị ikwu ya, ndị nụrụ otu Chineke si gosi ya ebere dị ukwuu, bịara soro ya ṅụrịa ọṅụ.
And the neiyboris and cosyns of hir herden, that the Lord hadde magnyfied his mercy with hir; and thei thankiden hym.
59 Nʼabalị nke asatọ ha bịara ibi nwata ahụ ugwu na ịgụ ya aha. Ha na-achọ ịgụ ya Zekaraya bụ aha nna ya,
And it was don in the eiyte dai, thei camen to circumcide the child; and thei clepiden hym Zacarie, bi the name of his fadir.
60 ma Nne ya sịrị, “Mba, a ga-agụ ya Jọn.”
And his moder answeride, and seide, Nay, but he schal be clepid Joon.
61 Ha sịrị ya, “Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla nʼetiti ndị ikwu gị na-aza aha ahụ.”
And thei seiden to hir, For no man is in thi kynrede, that is clepid this name.
62 Ya mere, ha jiri ife aka jụọ nna ya, ihe ọ chọrọ ka akpọ nwata ahụ.
And thei bikeneden to his fadir, what he wolde that he were clepid.
63 Ọ rịọrọ ka e nye ya mbadamba ihe e ji ede ihe, o deere “Aha ya bụ Jọn.” Nke a jukwara mmadụ niile anya.
And he axynge a poyntil, wroot, seiynge, Joon is his name.
64 Ngwangwa, ọnụ ya meghere, atọpụkwara ire ya. Ya ebido ikwu okwu ma na-etokwa Chineke.
And alle men wondriden. And anoon his mouth was openyd, and his tunge, and he spak, and blesside God.
65 Ibubo wụrụ ndị agbataobi ha niile nʼahụ, ndị mmadụ kọkwara akụkọ banyere ihe ndị a niile ruo obodo niile dị nʼakụkụ ugwu Judịa.
And drede was maad on alle her neiyboris, and alle these wordis weren pupplischid on alle the mounteyns of Judee.
66 Ndị niile nụrụ akụkọ a chere nʼobi ha na-ajụ sị, “Gịnịkwa ka nwa nke a gaje ịbụ?” Nʼihi na aka Onyenwe anyị dịnyeere ya.
And alle men that herden puttiden in her herte, and seiden, What maner child schal this be? For the hoond of the Lord was with hym.
67 E mere ka Zekaraya bụ nna ya jupụta na Mmụọ Nsọ. O buru amụma sị,
And Zacarie, his fadir, was fulfillid with the Hooli Goost, and prophesiede,
68 “Ngọzị dịrị Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke nke Izrel, nʼihi na ọ bịala leta ma gbapụtakwa ndị nke ya.
and seide, Blessid be the Lord God of Israel, for he hath visitid, and maad redempcioun of his puple.
69 O welielara anyị Onye nzọpụta site nʼụlọ odibo ya bụ Devid.
And he hath rerid to vs an horn of heelthe in the hous of Dauid, his child.
As he spak bi the mouth of hise hooli prophetis, that weren fro the world. (aiōn g165)
71 Na ọ ga-azọpụta anyị site nʼaka ndị iro anyị na sitekwa nʼaka ndị niile kpọrọ anyị asị.

76 “Ma gị nwa m, a ga-akpọ gị onye amụma nke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu; nʼihi na ị ga-aga nʼihu Onyenwe anyị kwadoro ya ụzọ.
And thou, child, schalt be clepid the prophete of the Hiyest; for thou schalt go bifor the face of the Lord, to make redi hise weies.
77 Ime ka ndị nke ya nwee amamihe nke nzọpụta site na ịgbaghara mmehie ha.
To yyue scyence of helthe to his puple, in to remyssioun of her synnes;

80 Nwata ahụ toro, bụrụ onye dị ike nʼime mmụọ. O biri nʼime ọzara tutu ruo mgbe oge zuru igosi ụmụ Izrel onwe ya.
And the child wexide, and was coumfortid in spirit, and was in desert placis `til to the dai of his schewing to Israel.
