Luka 1
1 Abhanu bafu bhekomesishe okujitonda kisi emisango jinu jakumiye agati yeswe.
Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
2 Lwakutyo eswe chayabhwilwe na bhanu bhajilolele na ameso kwambila kubhwambilo bhali bhakosi bho Omusango gwa Nyamuanga.
even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
3 Kulwejo anye ona, nejile namala okukengela kisi obhwambilo bhwe emisango jona- nalola ati nikisi nikwandikile kubhwitondi bhwajo-Teofilo owechibhalo.
it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus;
4 Koleleki utule okumenya echimali che emisango jinu weigisibhwe.
that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
5 Munsiku ja Herode omukama wa Yudea, aliga alio omugabisi atogwaga Zakaria, owamulubho lwo obhugabhisi bhwa Abiya; omugasi waye Elizabeti aliga asokole muluganda lwa Haruni.
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Yehuda, a certain priest named Zekharya, of the division of Awiya. He had a wife of the daughters of Ahrun, and her name was Elishava.
6 Abho bhone bhaliga bhali bhalengelesi imbele ya Nyamuanga bhagwatiliye ebhilagilo byona ebhyo Omukama na jindamu jaye.
They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
7 Nawe bhaliga bhatana mwana, kulwokubha Elizabethi aliga alimugumba, na bhaliga bhakokoye muno.
But they had no child, because Elishava was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
8 Kakingile akatungu ko olubho lwa Zakaria okubha imbele ya Nyamuanga nakolaga emilimu jobhugabhisi,
Now it happened, while he was performing the priest's office before God in the order of his division,
9 Mbe nibhamusola okwingana lwa kutyo bhasolwaga mumilimu jo obugabhisi, agende mwiyekalu okututa omuchumulilo.
according to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10 Katungu nibhatuta omuchumulilo elikofyanya lyaliga lilianja nilisabhwa.
And the whole crowd of people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
11 Mbe Malaika wo Omukama amufulumukiyeko nemelegulu mukubhoko kwe ebhulyo okwe ebhigabhilo bhokututila.
An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Ejile Zakaria amulola natinyuka nabhamo nobhubha.
Zekharya was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
13 Nawe malaika namubhwila ati, “Wasiga kubhaya Zakaria, kulwokubha lisabhwa lyao lyongwibhwa. Omugasi wao Elijabeti kaja okwibhulila omwana we echilume. Risina lyaye umutoge Yoana.
But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zekharya, because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elishava, will bear you a son, and you are to name him Yukhanan.
14 Ulikondelwa nokusandabha, na bhanfu bhalikondelelwa ukwibhulwa kwaye.
You will have joy and gladness; and many will rejoice at his birth.
15 Kulwokubha alibha mukulu imbele ya meso go Omukama. Atalinywa omulamba gwa majabhibhu amwi echinu chinu echitamisha, na alijusibhwa Mwoyo Mweru kusokelela munda ya nyilamwene.
For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he must never drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Rukha d'Qudsha, even from his mother's womb.
16 Alubhasubhya bhanu bhafu bha Isiraeli kumukama Nyamuanga webhwe
He will turn many of the people of Israyel to the Lord, their God.
17 Alitangata imbele yo obhusu bhwa Lata Bhugenyi kulwo mwoyo na mumanaga ga Eliya. Alikola kutyo koleleki asubye emitima ja abhebhusi kubhana, koleleki bhanyantongwa bhalame mubhwengeso bhwa abhalengelesi. Alikola kutyo okubhemalilisha bhanu bhelabhilwe okusolwa ingulu yaye.”
He will go before him in the spirit and power of Eliya, 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
18 Zakaria nabhwila malaika ati, “Omusango gunu enigumenya kutiki? Kulwokubha anye nakokoye ke emyaka jo omugasi wani ona jabheye myafu muno.”
Zekharya said to the angel, "How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years."
19 Malaika nasubhya namubhwila ati, “Anye nanye Gabhulyeli, unu nimeleguyu imbele ya Nyamuanga. Nitumilwe okuja nikubhwile omusango gunu ogwekisi.
The angel answered him, "I am Gavriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news.
20 Mbe lola oubha mujibhi, utakwaika kukingila kulusiku olwo jinu jilikumila. Kulwokubha walemele okwikilisha emisango jani ejojilikumila mukatungu akene.
And look, you will be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things will happen, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time."
21 Mbe abhanu bhaliga bhamulindiliye zakaria. Nibhalugula okulola namala omwanya mulela ali mwiyekalu.
The people were waiting for Zekharya, and they were wondering why he was delayed in the temple.
22 Nawe ejile auluka atatule kwaika nabho. Nibhamenya ati aliga alolele chiroro mwiyekaru.
When he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.
23 Nijibha ati ejile amala emilimu jo obhugabhisi nemuka okusubha ika owaye.
It happened, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
24 Ejile Zakaria amala okusubha ika okusoka kumilimu jaye eja muyekalu, omugasi waye nagega inda. Mbe namala mesi gatanu obhutasoka ika owaye. Naika ati,
After these days Elishava, his wife, conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,
25 “Linu nilyo Lata Bhugenyi amankolelea ejile ansima koleleki ansosheko jinswalo imbele ya abhanu.”
"Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my disgrace among people."
26 Inda ya Elijabheti yejile yakingya mesi mukaga, Nyamuanga atumile malaika Gabhulieli okugenda mumusi gwa Galilaya gunu ogutogwa Najareti,
Now in the sixth month, the angel Gavriel was sent from God to a city of Galila, named Natsrath,
27 ku muyalajuma unu asandwaga obhuko no mulume natogwa Yusufu. Omumula oyo aliga wamuluganda lwa Daudi, na lisina lyo omuyalajuma aliga natogwa Mariamu.
to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Yauseph, of the house of Dawid. The virgin's name was Maryam.
28 Ejile amukingako naika ati, “Uno omu! embe, unu Uyabhilwe libhando enene! Omukama ali amwi nawe.”
Having come in, the angel said to her, "Greetings, favored one. The Lord is with you."
29 Nawe emisango ja malaika nijimusobhela nalema okumenya obhukesha obhwokulugusha bhunu bhuna nsongaki ku mwene.
But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of greeting this might be.
30 Malaika namubhwila ati “Utobhaya, Mariamu, obha wabhwene ribhando ku Nyamuanga.
The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Maryam, for you have found favor with God.
31 Rora ougega inda Munda yao no owibhula omwana na lisina ryae oumutoga Yesu. omwene
And look, you will conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and will call his name 'Yeshua.'
32 alibha mukuru alitogwa omwana wa unu ali inguru muno Lata Bhugenyi Nya Daudi esemwene
He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father, Dawid,
and he will reign over the house of Yaquv forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom." (aiōn g165)
34 Mariamu nabhusya malaika jiribha kutiki okubha nitana murume.
Maryam said to the angel, "How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?"
35 Malaika namubhira “moyo mweru alikwijila inguru yao, namanaga unu aliinguru muno Anja inguru yao. ku nokubha omwana unu kebhulwa alitongwa omwana wa Nyamuanga
The angel answered her, "The Rukha d'Qudsha will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born will be called the Son of God.
36 Lola, omuili wao Elijabheti ali na inda yo mwana mu bhulame bhae obhwo bhukaluk. Kunu ni kwesi kwa sita kwa inda yae, unu aliga natogwa mugumba.
And look, Elishava, your relative, also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
37 Kulwokubha litalio linu elimusinga Nyamuanga.”
For with God nothing will be impossible."
38 Maliamu naikati, Lola, anye ndi mukosi we chigasi wa Nyamuanga. Siga jibhe kutyo aikile kwanye emisango jao.”Neya malaika namusiga.
And Maryam said, "See, the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word." The angel departed from her.
39 Nio kunsiku ejo Mariamu nagenda bhwangu mu chalo chebhima, mu musi mu nsi ya Yudea.
Maryam arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Yehuda,
40 Agendele nengila munyumba ya Jakalia namukesha Elijabheti.
and entered into the house of Zekharya and greeted Elishava.
41 Oli yabhonekene ati Elijabheti ejile inkesha ya Maliamu, omwana munda yae nejunga, na Elijabheti nejushwa no mwoyo mwelu.
It happened, when Elishava heard Maryam's greeting, that the baby leaped in her womb, and Elishava was filled with the Rukha d'Qudsha.
42 Naikila ingulu kwo bhulaka bhunene,”una libhando agati ya bhagasi bhona, no mwana unu ali munda yao ona abhonekewe.
She called out with a loud voice, and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
43 Jabhakutiki kwanye ati, nyila wa Latabhugenyi jimwiile aje kwanye?
Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Kulwokubha lola, anu nongwo obhulaka bhwo kukeshyanya kwao, omwana munda yani nejunga ku lwokusandabha.
For look, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy.
45 Na abhonekeweomugasi oyo unu ekilisishe ati jakabhonekene jinu jaikilwe jili ja chimali jinu abhwiliwe okusoka ku Latabhugenyi.”
Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord."
46 Maliamu naikati, omwoyo gwani ogumukuya Latabhugenyi,
Maryam said, "My soul magnifies the Lord.
47 No mwoyo gwani gukondelewemu Nyamuanga omukisha wani.
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 Kulwokubha amalola kutyo ali mwololoomukosi wae owechigasi. Lola, okwambila woli jinyibhulo jona ejija okumbilikila owamabhando.
for he has looked at the humble state of his servant girl. For look, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
49 Kulwokubha omwene owobhutulo amakola amgambo manene kwanye, na lisina lyae ni lyelu.
For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
50 Nechigongo chae chilio okusoka maimbo na maimbo ku bhanu bhanu abhamwikilisha.
His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear him.
51 Olesishe amanaga kwo kubhoko kwae, anyalambuye bhanu bhekushaga ingulu yo bhwiganilisha bhwe mioyo jebhwe.
He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 Abhatelemusishe ansi abhana bha bhakama okusoka kubhitebhe bhyebhwe ebhyobhukama no kubhakusha bhanu bhaliga bhagailwe.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones and has exalted the lowly.
53 Abhegusishe bhanu bhaliga bhana omweko gwe bhinu bhyekisi, tali abhanibhi abhabhilimishe bhatali na chinu.
He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.
54 Asosishe obhusakisi ku Israel omukosi wae, koleleki okwichuka okwolesha echigongo
He has given help to Israyel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
As he spoke to our fathers, to Avraham and his offspring forever." (aiōn g165)
56 Maliamu ekae na Elijabheti kwa mwanya gwa mesi gasatu kutya nio nasubha ika ewae.
Maryam stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.
57 Woli omwanya gwaliga gweile ogwa Elijabheti okwibhula omwana wae na nebhula omwana we chilume.
Now the time that Elishava should give birth was fulfilled, and she brought forth a son.
58 Abhekashanya bhae na bhaili bhae bhonguhywe kutyo Latabhugenyi amwikisishe echigongo kumwene, nibhakondelelwa amwi nage.
Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they rejoiced with her.
59 Woli jasokene ku lusiku lwa nane ati bhejile okumtenda omwana. Jaliga jibheile okumtoga lisina lyae, “Jakaliya,”kwo kulubha lisina lye esemwene,
It happened on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zekharya, after the name of the father.
60 Tali nyila wae nasubhya naikati,”Payi; kabhilikilwa Yowana.”
His mother answered, "Not so; but he will be called Yukhanan."
61 Nibhamubwilati, atalio na umwi amwi mubhaili bhao unu kabhilikilwa lisinaelyo.”
They said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name."
62 Nibhamukolela echijejekanyo esemwene wae okususanyisha omwene aliga nenda atogwe niga.
They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
63 Esemwene nenda olubao lwo kwandikila, na nandikati,”Lisina lyae ni Yowana.”Bhona nibhalugusibhwa nelyo.
And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is Yukhanan." And they were all amazed.
64 Aonao omunwa gwae nigwiguka no lulimi lwae nilusulumuka. Naloma nakumukusha Nyamuanga.
His mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.
65 Nibhobhaya bhona bhanu bhaliga bhekae ayeyi nabho. Emisango ejo nijiswila muchalo chona echa mabhanga ga Yudeya.
Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Yehuda.
66 Bhona bhanu bhagonguhye nibhagabhika mumitima jebhwe, nibhaika ati, “Omwana unu ni wakutiki?” Kulwokubha okubhoko kwa Nyamuanga kuliamwi nage.
All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, "What then will this child be?" The hand of the Lord was with him.
67 Esemwene wae Jakaliya ejusibhwe no Mwoyo Mwelu nasosha obhulagi, naikati, Asimwe
His father, Zekharya, was filled with the Rukha d'Qudsha, and prophesied, saying,
68 Latabhugenyi, Nyamuanga wa Isilaeli, kulwokubha amasakila na amafulubhendela omwelulo gwa bhanu bhae.
"Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israyel, for he has visited and worked redemption for his people;
69 Amachinamusisha liyembe elyomwelulo mu nyumba yo mukosi wae Daudi, okusoka mubhamwi bho luganda lwo mukosi wae Daudi,
and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant Dawid
(as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets who have been from of old), (aiōn g165)
71 Kaja ochikisha okusoka kubhasoko bheswe no kusoka mumabhoko gabhanu bhachiyatile.
salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us;
72 Alikola kutya okwolesha echigongo kubhalata, nokwichuka lilagano lyae lyo bhwelu,
to show mercy towards our fathers, to remember his holy covenant,
73 no mulayi gunu aikile ku lata weswe Aburamu.
the oath which he spoke to Avraham, our father,
74 Alaiye okwolesha ati jakatulikene okumukolela Omwene atali na bhubuha, chisanga chamalile okuchungulwa okusoka mumabhoko ga bhasoko bheswe.
to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, should serve him without fear,
75 Mubhwelu no bhulengelesi lmbele yaye munsiku jeswe jona.
In holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
76 Yee, aona mwana, oubhilikilwa mulagi wa Unu ali ingulu muno, kulwokubha ouja okugenda mubhusu bhwa Latabhugenyi koleleki okumuchumila injila, okubhamenyesha abhanu kulwokuja kwae,
And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to make ready his ways,
77 Okubhamenyesha abhanu bhae ati, bhalichungulwa kwo kwiswalililwa ebhibhibhi bhyebhwe.
to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins,
78 Linu libhonekene kulwainsonga ye chigongo cha Nyamuanga weswe, kulwainsonga ati lisubha okusoka ingulu lilichijila,
because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the dawn from on high will visit us,
79 Okumulikila bhanu bhanu bhekae muchisute na mwilengesi lyo lufu. Kakola kutyo okutangasha amagulu geswe mu njila yo mulembe.”
to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace."
80 Woli, omwana oyo nakula nabha namanaga ge chinyamwoyo na ekae mwibhala kukinga olusiku lwo kubhonekana kwae ku Isilaeli.
The child was growing, and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israyel.
