1 Hagi Tiofolisiga, korapara rama'a vahe'mo'za zamazanu kre'za eritru hute'za, Anumzamo tagripi erifore hu'nea zamofo nanekea kre'naze.
Seeing that many have attempted to draw up a narrative of the facts which are received with full assurance 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.
on the authority of those who were from the beginning eye-witnesses and were devoted to the service of the divine Message,
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 has seemed right to me also, after careful investigation of the facts from their commencement, to write for you, most noble Theophilus, a connected account,
4 E'i anazanku koma rempima hugamigenka antahinana tamage nanekea, nentahinka tamage huogu nehue.
that you may fully know the truth of the things which you have been taught by word of mouth.
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.
There was in the time of Herod, the king of Judaea, a priest of the name of Zechariah, belonging to the class of Abijah. He had a wife who was a descendant 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 of them upright before God, blamelessly obeying all the Lord's precepts and ordinances.
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 child, because Elizabeth was barren; and both of them were far advanced in life.
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.
Now while he was doing priestly duty before God in the prescribed course of his class,
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.
it fell to his lot--according to the custom of the priesthood--to go into the Sanctuary of the Lord and burn the 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.
and the whole multitude of the people were outside praying, at the hour of incense.
11 Magora Ramofo ankeromo kre sramnavu tra'mofona tmaga kaziga efore huno oti'ne.
Then there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense;
12 Ana'ma higeno'a Zekaraiama ankeroma negeno'a, antri nehuno koro hu'ne.
and Zechariah on seeing him was agitated and terrified.
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 your petition has been heard: and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call his name 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.
Gladness and exultant joy shall be yours, and many will rejoice over 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; no wine or fermented drink shall he ever drink; but he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from the very hour of his birth.
16 Ana mofavremo'a hakare Israeli vahe'mokizmi zamazeri rukrahe hinke'za, Rana Anumzazimire egahaze.
Many of the descendants of Israel will he turn 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 be His forerunner in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn fathers' hearts to the children, and cause the rebellious to walk in the wisdom of the upright, to make a people perfectly ready 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,
"By what proof," asked Zechariah, "shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is far advanced in years."
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)
"I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God," answered the angel, "and I have been sent to talk with you and tell you this good news.
20 Hanki kagra kama antahio, knare ke negasamugenka kamentinti osanku, kagerura orunka mani'nenankeno ana kna forehina kea hugahane.
And now you will be dumb and unable to speak until the day when this has taken place; because you did not believe my words--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 were surprised that he stayed so long in the Sanctuary.
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, however, he came out, he was unable to speak to them; and they knew that he must have seen a vision in the Sanctuary; but he kept making signs to them and continued dumb.
23 Ra mono nompima kre sramnavu eriza kna'amo vagaregeno, atreno noma'arega vu'ne.
When his days of service were at an end, he went 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.
and in course of time his wife Elizabeth conceived, and kept herself secluded five months.
25 Amazana Ramo asunku hunenanteno vahe'mo'zama mofavre onte a're hu'za nehu'za nagazema eri nenamiza zana eri atre'nante.
"Thus has the Lord dealt with me," she said, "now that He has graciously taken away my reproach among men."
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,
Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,
27 Maria'a vene omase'nea mofara, Josefe Deviti negeho a' erigahie huza huhampriante'naza mofate uhanati'ne.
to a maiden betrothed to a man of the name of Joseph, a descendant of David. The maiden's name was Mary.
28 Ana ankeromo'a Mariante ehanatino anage hu'ne, Knare kne Mariaga, Anumzamo'ma avesigantenemoka, Ramo'a kagrane mani'ne.
So Gabriel went into the house and said to her, "Joy be to you, favoured one! the Lord is with you."
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.
She was greatly agitated at his words, and wondered what such a greeting meant.
30 Ana higeno ankeromo'a ana mofamofonkura anage hu'ne, Korora osuo Mariaga, na'ankure Anumzamo'a kagrira antahi muse hunegante.
But the angel said, "Do not be frightened, Mary, for you have found favour with God.
31 Hanki kama antahio, kagra kamu'ene hunka ne'mofavre kasentenka agi'a, Jisasi'e hunka antegahane.
You will conceive in your womb and bear a son; and you are to call His name 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 He will be called 'Son of the Most High.' And the Lord God will give Him the throne of His forefather David;
33 Agra, Jekopu nagate kegava huzmante vava nehinkeno, kini eri'zama'amo ene Agrama kegava hania kumamo'a mevava hugahie. (aiōn g165)
and He will be King over the House of Jacob for the Ages, 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?
"How can this be," Mary replied, "seeing that I have no husband?"
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, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for this reason your holy offspring 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 see, your relative Elizabeth--she also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
37 Na'ankure Anumzamofontera mago'zamo'e huno amuho osugahie.
For no promise from God will be impossible of fulfilment."
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.
"I am the Lord's maidservant," Mary replied; "may it be with me in accordance with your words!" And then the angel left her.
39 Ana knafina Maria'a agona kumatega ame huno otino Judia kaziga rankumate uhanatino,
Not long after this, Mary rose up and went in haste into the hill country to a town in Judah.
40 Zekaraia nompi umarerino, knare kne huno Elisabetina humuse huntene.
Here she came to 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.
and as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the babe leapt within her. 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!
and uttered a loud cry of joy. "Blest among women are you," she said, "and the offspring of your body is blest!
43 Nagra iza'na mani'nogeno Ranimofo nerera'a, eno eme nage.
But why is this honour done 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, the moment your greeting reached my ears, the babe within me leapt for joy.
45 Hagi Ramo'ma hu'nea kemofo kamentinti hanku, asomu hunegantena, anama hu'nea kemo'a, kagripi avufa'a efore hugahie.
And blessed is she who has believed, for the word spoken to her from the Lord shall be fulfilled."
46 Maria'a amanage hu'ne, Nagu'amo'a Ramofo ragi amigeno,
Then Mary said: "My soul extols the Lord,
47 nagri avamunimo'a naguvazi Anumzamofo agafa huno muse huntene.
And my spirit triumphs in God my Saviour;
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 not turned from His maidservant in her lowly position; For from this time forward all generations will account me happy,
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.
And His compassion is, generation after generation, 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 manifested His supreme strength. He has scattered those who were haughty 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 cast monarchs down from their thrones, And exalted men of low estate.
53 Zamagaku haza vahera, knare'zanu erivite'nezmanteno, fenomo avite'nea vahera, zamaza zamavapa huzmantege'za nevaze.
The hungry He has satisfied with choice gifts, But the rich He has sent empty-handed away.
54 Agra eri'za vahe'a Israeli vahe zamaza nehuno, asunku huzmantegahue huno huvempa hu'nea kegura agera nokanie.
His servant Israel He has helped, Remembering His compassion--
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)
In fulfillment of His promises to our forefathers--For Abraham and his posterity for ever." (aiōn g165)
56 Maria'a anage huno Elisabetina asamiteno, 3'a ika agranena maniteno noma'arega vu'ne.
So Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months, and then returned home.
57 Hagi Elisabeti'a mofavre kasentesia kna egeno, ne' mofavre kasente'ne.
Now when Elizabeth's full time was come, she gave birth to 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.
and her neighbours and relatives heard how the Lord had had great compassion on 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.
And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and were going to call him Zechariah, after his father.
60 Hianagi nerera'a kenona huno, Ama mofavre'mofo agi'a Joni'e huta antegahune higeno,
His mother, however, said, "No, he is to be called John."
61 zamagra anage hu'naze. Tamagri nagapina mago'mofo agi'a Joni'e agine vahera omani'ne.
"There is not one of your family," they said, "who has that name."
62 Hu'za nehu'za, nefana zamazanu avame'name hu'za iza'e hunka agi'a antegahane hu'za antahigageno,
They asked his father by signs what he wished him to be called.
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 writing-tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they all wondered.
64 ame huno Zekaraia agimo'a aka higeno, agefunamo'a agafa huno eri'za erigeno, Anumzamofo agi erisaga hu'ne.
Instantly his mouth and his tongue were set free, and he began to speak and bless 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.
And all who lived round about them were filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judaea reports of all these things were spread abroad.
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 the story treasured it in their memories. "What then will this child be?" they said. For the lord's hand was indeed with him.
67 Hagi nefa, Zekeraiana Ruotge Avamumo agu'afi frevitegeno, amanage huno kasnampa kea hu'ne,
And Zechariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke in a rapture of praise.
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," he said, "Because He has not forgotten His people but has effected redemption for them,
69 Tagri Anumzamo'a, Agri eri'za vahe'a Deviti nagapinti hankavenentake ne' kefozampinti tahokeno taza hania ne' neramie.
And has raised up a mighty Deliverer for us In the house of David His servant--
As He has spoken from all time by the lips of His holy Prophets-- (aiōn g165)
71 Menina ha' vahetimofo azampinti taza nehuno, maka antahi haviza hurantesaza vahepintira taza hugahie.
To deliver us from our foes and from the power 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.
He dealt pitifully with our forefathers, And remembered His holy covenant,
73 Huvempa huhagerafi kema neregeho Abrahanku huntene.
The oath which He swore to Abraham our forefather,
74 Ha' vahe'mofo zamazampintira tagu'vazinketa, koro osu manineta eri'zama'a erintegahune.
To grant us to be rescued from the power of our foes And so render worship to Him free from fear,
75 Mani ruotge nehuta, fatgo avu'ava huta tasimuma erita manisuna kna'afina Agri avurera hakare gna manivava hugahune.
In piety and uprightness before Him all our days.
76 Hagi kagra ama mofavre'moka, Marerisa Anumzamofo kasnampa vahere hugahaze. Na'ankure kagra Ramofona vugotenka Agri kana retro huntegahane.
And you moreover, O child, shall be called Prophet of the Most High; For you shall go on in front before the Lord to prepare the way for Him,
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 to His People a knowledge of salvation In the forgiveness 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 compassion of our God, Through which the daybreak from on high will come to us,
79 Zamagrama hanimpi manine'za frizamofo turinapi mani'namokizmia masa nezamino, tagrira tazeri fatgo huno rimpa fru kante tavereno vugahie.
Dawning on those who now dwell in the darkness and shadow of death--To direct our feet into the path 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 character, and lived in the Desert till the time came for him to appear publicly to Israel.
