1 Hagi Tiofolisiga, korapara rama'a vahe'mo'za zamazanu kre'za eritru hute'za, Anumzamo tagripi erifore hu'nea zamofo nanekea kre'naze.
Since many have undertaken to compile an account of the events that have been fulfilled among us,
2 Ese agafare'ma Ramofo eri'za e'neri'za zamavunuma ke'naza vahe'mo'za, anama ke'nazaza krente'naza hunerasamizageta, ama ana naneke krente'none.
just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us,
3 Ana hu'negu ese agafare'ma fore'ma hige'za krente'naza zana, rezagane so'e hu'na kogeno knaretfa hunantege'na, anama hu'nea kante ante'na, knare ne'moka Tiofolisiga krenegamue.
it seemed good to me also, having carefully investigated all things from the beginning, to write an orderly account for yoʋ, most excellent Theophilus,
4 E'i anazanku koma rempima hugamigenka antahinana tamage nanekea, nentahinka tamage huogu nehue.
so that yoʋ may know the certainty of the things about which yoʋ have been instructed.
5 Hagi Herotima kinima Judia kaziga mani'nea knafina, mago pristi nera Zekaraia'e nehia nera, Abaiza nagapinti ne' mani'ne. Hagi nenaro agi'a Elisabeti'e, Aroni nagapinti efore hu'ne.
In the days of Herod, the king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah who belonged to the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
6 Ana aravemokea Anumzamofo avurera fatgo hu'ne ne' mani'ne, Ramofo maka kasegene tra kea amage nentene, mago havi avu'avara osuke, fatgo huke Ramofontera mani'na'e.
They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and regulations of the Lord.
7 Hu'neangi mofavre onte'na'e. Na'ankure Elisabeti'a mofavre onteno naravo mani'gene tavava ozafa re'na'e.
But they had no children because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in their days.
8 Mago zupa Zekaraia ene ra mono nompi Anumzamofonte kre sramnavu pristi eri'za eneri'za naga'mo'za, zamagrama eri'zama eneri'za kna ege'za emetru hu'naze.
While Zechariah was serving as a priest before God when his division was on duty,
9 Hagi pristi vahe'mo'za koma zamuzmapina Kresramana vunaku taisi zokago razageno, iza agimo'ma e'amama himofo huntageno Ra Anumzamofo ra mono nompi ufreno Ramofonte Kresramana nevia kante, Zekaraina ana hu'za huntageno Kresramana mananentake'za hu'naku ufre'ne.
he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10 Hagi rama'a vahe'mo'za fegi'a ra mono no agu'afi manine'za, ana gnamofo agu'afina (hour) nunamu nehazageno agu'afina mananentake'zana Kresramana vu erizana eri'naze.
At the hour of incense a great crowd was assembled outside, praying.
11 Magora Ramofo ankeromo kre sramnavu tra'mofona tmaga kaziga efore huno oti'ne.
Then an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Ana'ma higeno'a Zekaraiama ankeroma negeno'a, antri nehuno koro hu'ne.
When Zechariah saw him, he was startled, and fear fell upon him.
13 Hianagi ankeromo'a anage huno hu'ne, Zekaraiaga korora osuo, na'ankure nunamunka'a Anumzamo'a antahi'neankino, neganaro Elisabeti'a mago ne'mofavre kasentegahie. Agi'a Joni'e hunka antemigahane.
But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for yoʋr prayer has been heard. Yoʋr wife Elizabeth will bear yoʋ a son, and yoʋ shall name him John.
14 Ana mofavre kasentenkeno krimpa so'e nehina muse hugahane. Hanki rama'a vahe'mo'za ana mofavrema kasente'nia kema antahisuza anazanke hu'za muse hugahaze.
Yoʋ will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth,
15 Na'ankure Ramofo avurera ra vahe trohuno manigahie. Agra waini tine, hanave tinena onetfa hugahie. Na'ankure nerera rimpafi mani'nenigeno'a Ruotge Avamumo'a agu'afi fre avitegahie.
for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He must never drink any wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
16 Ana mofavremo'a hakare Israeli vahe'mokizmi zamazeri rukrahe hinke'za, Rana Anumzazimire egahaze.
He will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God.
17 Ana nehuno agra Ramofona ugota huno nevuno, Elaija'ma eri'neankna hanavene avamu'ene enerino, afahemokizmia zamagu'a zamazeri rukrehe hina mofavrezmire ne-enageno keontahi vahe'mokizamia zamazeri rukrehe hinke'za kentahi vahe manisaza zamo'a, Ramo'ma esiazamofonka retro huntegahie. (Mal 4:5-6.)
And he will go before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers back to their children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
18 Hanki Zekaraia anage huno ankeromofona asami'ne, nankna hanige'na nagra kena antahi'na hugahue? Nagra ozafa rogeno, a'nimo'a anahukna huno tavavate'ne higeno,
Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I know this for certain? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in her days.”
19 ankeromo'a anage huno asami'ne, Nagra ankero ne' Gebrieline, Anumzamofo tava'onte nemanuankino, Anumzamo hunanteno, ama Knare Musenke erinka ome asamio huno hunantege'na, eme negasamue. (Den 8:16)
The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God and was sent to speak to yoʋ and bring yoʋ this good news.
20 Hanki kagra kama antahio, knare ke negasamugenka kamentinti osanku, kagerura orunka mani'nenankeno ana kna forehina kea hugahane.
But behold, yoʋ will be silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because yoʋ did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at their appointed time.”
21 Hagi megi'a ra mono nompi Zekaraia avega mani'naza vahe'mo'za, agafa hu'za antahintahi hakare nehu'za, na'a higeno agru huno Ruotage hu'nea nompina zazakna nemanie hu'za hu'naze.
Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering about his delay in the temple.
22 Hianagi agrama megia ne-eno'a kea eme huozami avame name hige'za, zamagrama zmagesama antahi'zana, mago'aza agru huno routage nompina efore higeno ke'ne hu'za hu'naze.
When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, because he kept making signs to them and remained unable to speak.
23 Ra mono nompima kre sramnavu eriza kna'amo vagaregeno, atreno noma'arega vu'ne.
And when the days of his service had come to an end, he returned to his home.
24 Hagi mago'agna evigeno, Elisabeti'a amu'ene huno mani frakino mani'negeno, 5fu'a ika enevigeno, amanage huno hu'ne.
After those days his wife Elizabeth conceived and kept herself in seclusion for five months, saying,
25 Amazana Ramo asunku hunenanteno vahe'mo'zama mofavre onte a're hu'za nehu'za nagazema eri nenamiza zana eri atre'nante.
“The Lord has done this for me. In these days he has looked upon me with favor and taken away my reproach among the people.”
26 Elisabeti'a 6si'a ika amu'ene huno mani'negeno, mago ankeromofo agi'a Gebrieli'e nehimofo Anumzamo'a huntegeno, Galili kaziga osi kuma Nazaretie nehaza kumate uhanatino,
In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,
27 Maria'a vene omase'nea mofara, Josefe Deviti negeho a' erigahie huza huhampriante'naza mofate uhanati'ne.
to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.
28 Ana ankeromo'a Mariante ehanatino anage hu'ne, Knare kne Mariaga, Anumzamo'ma avesigantenemoka, Ramo'a kagrane mani'ne.
The angel came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with yoʋ! Blessed are yoʋ among women!”
29 Hianagi ana mofa'mo'a, ana musenkema nentahino'a, antahintahi hakare nehuno, ama kea nankna agu'agesa me'nea musenke nehie huno hu'ne.
But when Mary saw him, she was greatly perplexed by his statement and began wondering what sort of greeting this could be.
30 Ana higeno ankeromo'a ana mofamofonkura anage hu'ne, Korora osuo Mariaga, na'ankure Anumzamo'a kagrira antahi muse hunegante.
Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for yoʋ have found favor with God.
31 Hanki kama antahio, kagra kamu'ene hunka ne'mofavre kasentenka agi'a, Jisasi'e hunka antegahane.
And behold, yoʋ will conceive in yoʋr womb and give birth to a son, and yoʋ shall name him Jesus.
32 Ana mofavremo'a ra vahe fore nehinke'za vahe'mo'za, Marerisa Anumzamofo Mofavre nehnageno, negeho Deviti kini trara, Anumzamo'a eri aminigeno kini manigahie.
He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.
33 Agra, Jekopu nagate kegava huzmante vava nehinkeno, kini eri'zama'amo ene Agrama kegava hania kumamo'a mevava hugahie. (aiōn g165)
He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” (aiōn g165)
34 Maria'a anage huno ankeromofo asami'ne, Nagra venena omase'noanki inankna huno fore huku higenka nehane?
Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”
35 Higeno ankeromo'a kenona'a anage huno asami'ne, Ruotge Avamumo kagrite ne-enkenka, Marerisa Anumzamofo hihamu'amo refitegantegahie. E'ina hu'negu ksentesana Mofavremo'a ruotge hanigeno, Anumzamofo mofavre hu'za hugahaze.
The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon yoʋ, and the power of the Most High will overshadow yoʋ; therefore the holy child that is to be born will be called the Son of God.
36 Hanki ko, negamomo Elizabeti'a anahukna huno tavava'tefinka amu'ene hu'ne. Naravo a' manino mofavre onte are hu'nazanagi, menina amu'ene higeno' 6si'a ika agatere'ne.
And behold, yoʋr relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren.
37 Na'ankure Anumzamofontera mago'zamo'e huno amuho osugahie.
For nothing is impossible with God.”
38 Higeno Mari'a anage hu'ne, Izo nagra Ramofo kazokzo eri'za a' mani'noe. Hagi atregeno kema hanankante efore hino, higeno ankeromo'a atreno vu'ne.
Then Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; may it happen to me according to yoʋr word.” And the angel left her.
39 Ana knafina Maria'a agona kumatega ame huno otino Judia kaziga rankumate uhanatino,
In those days Mary arose and went with haste to the hill country, to a town of Judah,
40 Zekaraia nompi umarerino, knare kne huno Elisabetina humuse huntene.
where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
41 Maria'ma knare kne huntea kema, Elisabeti'ma nentahigeno'a, rimpafi mani'nea mofavremo'a muse nehuno, haru huno marerigeno Ruotage Avamumo'a Elisabetina agu'afi frevite'ne.
When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
42 Ana higeno ana amo'a ranke huno, Maka a'nemofo asomura agatereno kagrira rama'a asomu Anumzamo'a huneganteno, karimpafima mani'nea mofavrea asomu huntene!
Then she exclaimed with a loud voice, “Blessed are yoʋ among women, and blessed is the fruit of yoʋr womb!
43 Nagra iza'na mani'nogeno Ranimofo nerera'a, eno eme nage.
How has this happened to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Hanki antahio, kagra humuse hunka, anama knare kne hunka nehankena nentahugeno'a, narimpafi mani'nea mofavremo'a haru huno marenerino muse hu'ne.
For behold, when the sound of yoʋr greeting came into my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
45 Hagi Ramo'ma hu'nea kemofo kamentinti hanku, asomu hunegantena, anama hu'nea kemo'a, kagripi avufa'a efore hugahie.
Blessed is she who has believed, for what the Lord has spoken to her will be fulfilled.”
46 Maria'a amanage hu'ne, Nagu'amo'a Ramofo ragi amigeno,
Then Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 nagri avamunimo'a naguvazi Anumzamofo agafa huno muse huntene.
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 Na'ankure Agra anteramina kazokzo eriza vahe'ama mani'noana navu'navara nage'ne. Menima agafa huno vaniana maka vahe'mo'za Anumzamo'a asomu hunte'ne hu'za hugahaze.
because he has looked favorably on the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed,
49 Na'ankure Hihamu'ane Anumzamo'a raza hunante'ne, Agri agi'a ruotage hu'nemo'e.
because the Mighty One has done great things for me; holy is his name.
50 Izazo Agriku koro hunentaza mokizmia Agra asuragizmanteno zamaza nehuno, zamagripinti efore hunante anante hanamokizmia anazanke huzmantegahie.
From generation to generation his mercy is upon those who fear him.
51 Ramo'a hanavenentake avu'avaza azanura eri fore nehuno, antahintahizmifima zamagima eri'za mareneri'za vahera zamahe panani hu'ne.
He has done a mighty deed with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
52 Agra hanave kini vahera, kini tratetira zamazuhu fenkama netreno, anteramiza nemaniza vahera ana kini trate zamavare ante'ne.
He has brought down rulers from their thrones and exalted the lowly.
53 Zamagaku haza vahera, knare'zanu erivite'nezmanteno, fenomo avite'nea vahera, zamaza zamavapa huzmantege'za nevaze.
He has filled the hungry with good things, but the rich he has sent away empty.
54 Agra eri'za vahe'a Israeli vahe zamaza nehuno, asunku huzmantegahue huno huvempa hu'nea kegura agera nokanie.
He has helped his servant Israel, remembering his mercy,
55 Tahi'mofo koma mevava huvempa ke Abrahanku asamino, agehemo'ma fore hunante fore hunante knane knane hu'noma esia vahe zamaza huku hunte'ne. (aiōn g165)
just as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever.” (aiōn g165)
56 Maria'a anage huno Elisabetina asamiteno, 3'a ika agranena maniteno noma'arega vu'ne.
And Mary remained with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned to her house.
57 Hagi Elisabeti'a mofavre kasentesia kna egeno, ne' mofavre kasente'ne.
Now the time was fulfilled for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son.
58 Ana a'mofo naga'mo'zane, agri kumapi naga'mo'za Ramofo asuntagizamo'ma Elisabetinte'ma eama hu'nea kema nentahiza rama'a musenkase agrane hu'naze.
Then her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.
59 Hagi 8 knazupa Mosese kasegemo'ma hu'nea kante ante'za avufa taga huku e'za, nefa agire Zekaraia'e huta agi'a asamresune hu'za hu'naze.
On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him Zechariah, after his father.
60 Hianagi nerera'a kenona huno, Ama mofavre'mofo agi'a Joni'e huta antegahune higeno,
But the child's mother responded, “No! He is to be called John.”
61 zamagra anage hu'naze. Tamagri nagapina mago'mofo agi'a Joni'e agine vahera omani'ne.
But they said to her, “There is no one among yoʋr relatives who has that name.”
62 Hu'za nehu'za, nefana zamazanu avame'name hu'za iza'e hunka agi'a antegahane hu'za antahigageno,
Then they began making signs to the child's father to find out what he wanted to name him.
63 avontafe eritma eho huno azanu avame'name hige'za eri'za eme amizageno, agi'a Joni'e huno avonakre zamige'za nege'za antri hute'za, hakare zamagesa nentahizageno,
So he asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.
64 ame huno Zekaraia agimo'a aka higeno, agefunamo'a agafa huno eri'za erigeno, Anumzamofo agi erisaga hu'ne.
At once Zechariah's mouth was opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak, blessing God.
65 Hagi ana higeno, anama megagi'nea kumate maka vahe'mokizimi tusi zamagogo nefege'za, maka Judia agona kumatega ana agenkea hugantugma hu'naze.
Then fear came upon all who dwelt around them, and in the entire hill country of Judea all these things were being discussed.
66 Maka ana nanekema antahizamo'za zamagu'afi netre'za, anage hu'naze. Henka ama mofavremo'a nankna vahe manigahie? Na'ankure Anumzamofo hanavemo'a agrane me'ne.
All who heard about this laid it up in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child become?” And the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 Hagi nefa, Zekeraiana Ruotge Avamumo agu'afi frevitegeno, amanage huno kasnampa kea hu'ne,
Then Zechariah, the child's father, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
68 Israeli vahe'mofo Rana, ra agi amisune. Agra'a vahe'a zamaza huno zamagu'vazinaku e'ne.
“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited his people and brought them redemption.
69 Tagri Anumzamo'a, Agri eri'za vahe'a Deviti nagapinti hankavenentake ne' kefozampinti tahokeno taza hania ne' neramie.
He has raised up for us a horn of salvation in the house of his servant David
(just as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets long ago), (aiōn g165)
71 Menina ha' vahetimofo azampinti taza nehuno, maka antahi haviza hurantesaza vahepintira taza hugahie.
salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us—
72 Amazama hiana tagehe'i asunku hunezmanteno, korapa ruotge hunea huhagerafino huvempage huno zamasmi'nea hanave kasegegu, agesa nentahino eriama nehie.
to deal mercifully with our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,
73 Huvempa huhagerafi kema neregeho Abrahanku huntene.
the oath he swore to Abraham our father, to grant us
74 Ha' vahe'mofo zamazampintira tagu'vazinketa, koro osu manineta eri'zama'a erintegahune.
that we, having been rescued from the hands of our enemies, might serve him without fear,
75 Mani ruotge nehuta, fatgo avu'ava huta tasimuma erita manisuna kna'afina Agri avurera hakare gna manivava hugahune.
in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our lives.
76 Hagi kagra ama mofavre'moka, Marerisa Anumzamofo kasnampa vahere hugahaze. Na'ankure kagra Ramofona vugotenka Agri kana retro huntegahane.
And yoʋ, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for yoʋ will go before the presence of the Lord to prepare his ways,
77 Kagra, Agri vahera Anumzamo'ma zamaguma vazino kumizimi eri apasezmante'nia kea zmasami'sanke'za, zamasunku hanageno zamagu'vazigahie. Agra monafi masa huntenigeno eme remsha hugahie.
to give his people knowledge of salvation through the remission of their sins,
78 Na'ankure Anumzamo'a avesiranteno fru avu'ava'ma hurantea zamo'a, nanterama zagemo monafinti hanatino remsa hiankna huno remsa hurantegahie.
through the tender mercy of our God, by which the sunrise has visited us from on high,
79 Zamagrama hanimpi manine'za frizamofo turinapi mani'namokizmia masa nezamino, tagrira tazeri fatgo huno rimpa fru kante tavereno vugahie.
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
80 Joni'ma ra huno avamupima hanavetiteno, ka'ma mopafi vuno umani'negeno, kna'a egeno Israeli vahepina eama hu'ne.
And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
