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 been disposed to write narratives of those events, of which we have full assurance,
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.
as they delivered them to us, who from the first were eye-witnesses and ministers of the word;
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 proper for me also, as I had examined them all accurately, to write out the whole, methodically, for thee, excellent Theophilus:
4 E'i anazanku koma rempima hugamigenka antahinana tamage nanekea, nentahinka tamage huogu nehue.
that thou mayest know the truth of the statements, which thou hast been taught.
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 Judaea, there was a certain priest, whose name was Zachariah, of the ministration of the house of Abijah; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
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.
And they were both upright before God, and walked in all his commandments, and in the righteousness of the Lord, without reproach.
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 Elisabeth was barren: and they were both 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.
And it occurred, that as he performed the priestly functions in the order of his ministration before the Lord,
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.
according to the usage of the priesthood, it fell to him to offer the incense. And he went into the temple of the Lord,
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 praying without, at the time of incense.
11 Magora Ramofo ankeromo kre sramnavu tra'mofona tmaga kaziga efore huno oti'ne.
And the angel of the Lord appeared to Zachariah, 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 when Zachariah saw him, he was agitated, 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.
And the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachariah; for thy prayer is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth will bear thee a son, and thou shalt 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.
And thou wilt 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 before the Lord; and he will not drink wine nor strong drink, and 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.
And many of the children of Israel will he convert 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 him, in the spirit and power of Elijah the prophet, and will turn the heart of the fathers unto the children, and them that are disobedient to the knowledge of the righteous, and will prepare a perfect people 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,
And Zachariah said to the angel: How shall I know this? For I am old, and my wife is advanced in life.
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, and said to him: I am Gabriel, who stand before God; and I am sent to converse with thee, and to tell thee these things.
20 Hanki kagra kama antahio, knare ke negasamugenka kamentinti osanku, kagerura orunka mani'nenankeno ana kna forehina kea hugahane.
Henceforth thou wilt be dumb, and unable to speak, until the day when these things take place: because thou believedst not my words, which will be fulfilled in their 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.
And the people were standing and waiting for Zachariah; and they wondered at his tarrying so long 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.
And when Zachariah came forth, he could not speak with them: and they understood that he had seen a vision in the temple: and he made many signs to them, and remained speechless.
23 Ra mono nompima kre sramnavu eriza kna'amo vagaregeno, atreno noma'arega vu'ne.
And when the days of his ministration were accomplished, he came to his house.
24 Hagi mago'agna evigeno, Elisabeti'a amu'ene huno mani frakino mani'negeno, 5fu'a ika enevigeno, amanage huno hu'ne.
And it was after those days, that Elisabeth his wife conceived. And she secluded herself five months; and she said:
25 Amazana Ramo asunku hunenanteno vahe'mo'zama mofavre onte a're hu'za nehu'za nagazema eri nenamiza zana eri atre'nante.
These things hath the Lord done for me, in the days when he looked upon me to take 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,
And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent by God into Galilee, to a city named Nazareth,
27 Maria'a vene omase'nea mofara, Josefe Deviti negeho a' erigahie huza huhampriante'naza mofate uhanati'ne.
to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and 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.
And the angel entered the house, and said to her: Peace to thee, thou full of grace! The Lord is with thee: and blessed art thou 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.
And when she saw him, she was agitated by his speech; and she pondered, what this salutation could mean.
30 Ana higeno ankeromo'a ana mofamofonkura anage hu'ne, Korora osuo Mariaga, na'ankure Anumzamo'a kagrira antahi muse hunegante.
And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favor with God.
31 Hanki kama antahio, kagra kamu'ene hunka ne'mofavre kasentenka agi'a, Jisasi'e hunka antegahane.
For lo, thou wilt conceive in thy womb, and wilt bear a son, and wilt 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 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)
And he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his reign 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?
And Mary said to the angel: How can this be, as I have not known a man?
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 replied, and said to her: The Holy Spirit will come, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee; therefore he that is born of thee is holy, and 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 lo, Elisabeth thy kinswoman, even she too hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren.
37 Na'ankure Anumzamofontera mago'zamo'e huno amuho osugahie.
Because nothing is difficult for 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.
Mary said: Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me, according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
39 Ana knafina Maria'a agona kumatega ame huno otino Judia kaziga rankumate uhanatino,
And Mary arose in those days, and went hastily to the mountain district, to a city of Judaea;
40 Zekaraia nompi umarerino, knare kne huno Elisabetina humuse huntene.
and entered the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elisabeth.
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 it was so, that when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the child leaped in her womb, and she 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 she cried out with a loud voice, and said to Mary: Blessed art thou among women; and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43 Nagra iza'na mani'nogeno Ranimofo nerera'a, eno eme nage.
And whence is this 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 lo, as the voice of thy salutation fell upon my ears, with great joy the child leaped in my womb.
45 Hagi Ramo'ma hu'nea kemofo kamentinti hanku, asomu hunegantena, anama hu'nea kemo'a, kagripi avufa'a efore hugahie.
And happy is she that believed; for there will be a fulfillment of those things that were told her by the Lord.
46 Maria'a amanage hu'ne, Nagu'amo'a Ramofo ragi amigeno,
And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord:
47 nagri avamunimo'a naguvazi Anumzamofo agafa huno muse huntene.
and my spirit rejoiceth in God the author of my life.
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.
For he hath looked upon the humble condition of his hand maid; and lo, henceforth all generations will ascribe blessedness to me.
49 Na'ankure Hihamu'ane Anumzamo'a raza hunante'ne, Agri agi'a ruotage hu'nemo'e.
And He that is mighty hath done for me great things; and holy is his name.
50 Izazo Agriku koro hunentaza mokizmia Agra asuragizmanteno zamaza nehuno, zamagripinti efore hunante anante hanamokizmia anazanke huzmantegahie.
And his mercy is on them that fear him, for generations and posterities.
51 Ramo'a hanavenentake avu'avaza azanura eri fore nehuno, antahintahizmifima zamagima eri'za mareneri'za vahera zamahe panani hu'ne.
He hath wrought victory with his arm; and hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart.
52 Agra hanave kini vahera, kini tratetira zamazuhu fenkama netreno, anteramiza nemaniza vahera ana kini trate zamavare ante'ne.
He hath cast down the mighty from their thrones, and hath exalted the lowly.
53 Zamagaku haza vahera, knare'zanu erivite'nezmanteno, fenomo avite'nea vahera, zamaza zamavapa huzmantege'za nevaze.
The hungry hath he satisfied with good things, and the rich hath he sent away empty.
54 Agra eri'za vahe'a Israeli vahe zamaza nehuno, asunku huzmantegahue huno huvempa hu'nea kegura agera nokanie.
He hath aided Israel his servant, and remembered 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)
(as he spoke with the fathers, ) with Abraham and his seed, for ever. (aiōn g165)
56 Maria'a anage huno Elisabetina asamiteno, 3'a ika agranena maniteno noma'arega vu'ne.
And Mary remained with Elisabeth about three months, and returned to her home.
57 Hagi Elisabeti'a mofavre kasentesia kna egeno, ne' mofavre kasente'ne.
And Elisabeth's time of bringing forth arrived; 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.
And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy to 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 it occurred, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child. And they called him by the name of his father, Zachariah.
60 Hianagi nerera'a kenona huno, Ama mofavre'mofo agi'a Joni'e huta antegahune higeno,
And his mother answered and said: Not so; but John, shall he be called.
61 zamagra anage hu'naze. Tamagri nagapina mago'mofo agi'a Joni'e agine vahera omani'ne.
And they said to her: There is no one among thy kindred called by that name.
62 Hu'za nehu'za, nefana zamazanu avame'name hu'za iza'e hunka agi'a antegahane hu'za antahigageno,
And they made signs to his father, how he would have him named.
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,
And he asked for a tablet, and wrote, and said: John is his name. And every one was surprised.
64 ame huno Zekaraia agimo'a aka higeno, agefunamo'a agafa huno eri'za erigeno, Anumzamofo agi erisaga hu'ne.
And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue; and he spoke, and praised 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 fear came upon all their neighbors; and these things were talked of in all the mountain district of Judaea.
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.
And all who heard, pondered them in their heart, and said: What will this child be? And the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 Hagi nefa, Zekeraiana Ruotge Avamumo agu'afi frevitegeno, amanage huno kasnampa kea hu'ne,
And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, and said:
68 Israeli vahe'mofo Rana, ra agi amisune. Agra'a vahe'a zamaza huno zamagu'vazinaku e'ne.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who hath visited his people, and wrought redemption for them:
69 Tagri Anumzamo'a, Agri eri'za vahe'a Deviti nagapinti hankavenentake ne' kefozampinti tahokeno taza hania ne' neramie.
And hath raised up a horn of redemption for us, in the house of David his servant:
as he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, who were of old, (aiōn g165)
71 Menina ha' vahetimofo azampinti taza nehuno, maka antahi haviza hurantesaza vahepintira taza hugahie.
that he would redeem us from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us.
72 Amazama hiana tagehe'i asunku hunezmanteno, korapa ruotge hunea huhagerafino huvempage huno zamasmi'nea hanave kasegegu, agesa nentahino eriama nehie.
And he hath exercised his mercy to our fathers, and hath remembered his holy covenants,
73 Huvempa huhagerafi kema neregeho Abrahanku huntene.
and the oath that he sware to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us,
74 Ha' vahe'mofo zamazampintira tagu'vazinketa, koro osu manineta eri'zama'a erintegahune.
to be redeemed from the hand of our enemies; and that we should worship before him, without fear,
75 Mani ruotge nehuta, fatgo avu'ava huta tasimuma erita manisuna kna'afina Agri avurera hakare gna manivava hugahune.
all our days, in rectitude and uprightness.
76 Hagi kagra ama mofavre'moka, Marerisa Anumzamofo kasnampa vahere hugahaze. Na'ankure kagra Ramofona vugotenka Agri kana retro huntegahane.
And thou, child, wilt be called a prophet of the Most High; for thou wilt go before the face of the Lord, to prepare his way,
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.
that he may give the knowledge of life to his people, and 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 compassion of the mercy of our God; whereby the day-spring from on high will visit us,
79 Zamagrama hanimpi manine'za frizamofo turinapi mani'namokizmia masa nezamino, tagrira tazeri fatgo huno rimpa fru kante tavereno vugahie.
to give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death; and 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 was strengthened in spirit. And he was in the wilderness, until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
