Luka 1
1 Abhanu bafu bhekomesishe okujitonda kisi emisango jinu jakumiye agati yeswe.
Forasmuch as many haue taken in hand to set foorth the storie of those things, whereof we are fully persuaded,
2 Lwakutyo eswe chayabhwilwe na bhanu bhajilolele na ameso kwambila kubhwambilo bhali bhakosi bho Omusango gwa Nyamuanga.
As they haue deliuered them vnto vs, which from the beginning saw them their selues, and were ministers of ye word,
3 Kulwejo anye ona, nejile namala okukengela kisi obhwambilo bhwe emisango jona- nalola ati nikisi nikwandikile kubhwitondi bhwajo-Teofilo owechibhalo.
It seemed good also to me (most noble Theophilus) assoone as I had searched out perfectly all things from the beginning, to write vnto thee thereof from point to point,
4 Koleleki utule okumenya echimali che emisango jinu weigisibhwe.
That thou mightest acknowledge the certaintie of those things, whereof thou hast bene 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.
In the time of Herod King of Iudea, there was a certaine Priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabet.
6 Abho bhone bhaliga bhali bhalengelesi imbele ya Nyamuanga bhagwatiliye ebhilagilo byona ebhyo Omukama na jindamu jaye.
Both were iust before God, and walked in all the commandements and ordinances of the Lord, without reproofe.
7 Nawe bhaliga bhatana mwana, kulwokubha Elizabethi aliga alimugumba, na bhaliga bhakokoye muno.
And they had no childe, because that Elisabet was barren: and both were well stricken in age.
8 Kakingile akatungu ko olubho lwa Zakaria okubha imbele ya Nyamuanga nakolaga emilimu jobhugabhisi,
And it came to passe, as he executed the Priestes office before God, as his course came in order,
9 Mbe nibhamusola okwingana lwa kutyo bhasolwaga mumilimu jo obugabhisi, agende mwiyekalu okututa omuchumulilo.
According to the custome of the Priests office, his lot was to burne incense, when he went into the Temple of the Lord.
10 Katungu nibhatuta omuchumulilo elikofyanya lyaliga lilianja nilisabhwa.
And the whole multitude of the people were without in prayer, while the incense was burning.
11 Mbe Malaika wo Omukama amufulumukiyeko nemelegulu mukubhoko kwe ebhulyo okwe ebhigabhilo bhokututila.
Then appeared vnto him an Angel of the Lord standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Ejile Zakaria amulola natinyuka nabhamo nobhubha.
And when Zacharias sawe him, he was troubled, and feare fell vpon 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 saide vnto him, Feare not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard, and thy wise Elisabet shall beare thee a sonne, and thou shalt call his name Iohn.
14 Ulikondelwa nokusandabha, na bhanfu bhalikondelelwa ukwibhulwa kwaye.
And thou shalt haue ioy and gladnes, and many shall reioyce 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 shalbe great in the sight of the Lord, and shall neither drinke wine, nor strong drinke: and he shalbe filled with the holy Ghost, euen from his mothers wombe.
16 Alubhasubhya bhanu bhafu bha Isiraeli kumukama Nyamuanga webhwe
And many of the children of Israel shall he turne to their Lord 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.”
For he shall goe before him in the spirite and power of Elias, to turne the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisedome of the iust men, 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.”
Then Zacharias said vnto ye Angel, Whereby shall I knowe this? for I am an olde man, and my wife is of a great age.
19 Malaika nasubhya namubhwila ati, “Anye nanye Gabhulyeli, unu nimeleguyu imbele ya Nyamuanga. Nitumilwe okuja nikubhwile omusango gunu ogwekisi.
And the Angell answered, and sayde vnto him, I am Gabriel that stand in the presence of God, and am sent to speake vnto thee, and to shew thee these good tidings.
20 Mbe lola oubha mujibhi, utakwaika kukingila kulusiku olwo jinu jilikumila. Kulwokubha walemele okwikilisha emisango jani ejojilikumila mukatungu akene.
And beholde, thou shalt be domme, and not be able to speake, vntill the day that these things be done, because thou beleeuedst not my words, which shalbe fulfilled in their season.
21 Mbe abhanu bhaliga bhamulindiliye zakaria. Nibhalugula okulola namala omwanya mulela ali mwiyekalu.
Now the people waited for Zacharias, and marueiled that he taried so long in the Temple.
22 Nawe ejile auluka atatule kwaika nabho. Nibhamenya ati aliga alolele chiroro mwiyekaru.
And when hee came out, hee coulde not speake vnto them: then they perceiued that hee had seene a vision in the Temple: For he made signes vnto them, and remained domme.
23 Nijibha ati ejile amala emilimu jo obhugabhisi nemuka okusubha ika owaye.
And it came to passe, when the daies of his office were fulfilled, that he departed to his owne 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,
And after those daies, his wife Elisabet conceiued, and hid her selfe fiue moneths, saying,
25 “Linu nilyo Lata Bhugenyi amankolelea ejile ansima koleleki ansosheko jinswalo imbele ya abhanu.”
Thus hath the Lord dealt with me, in the daies wherein he looked on me, to take from me my rebuke among men.
26 Inda ya Elijabheti yejile yakingya mesi mukaga, Nyamuanga atumile malaika Gabhulieli okugenda mumusi gwa Galilaya gunu ogutogwa Najareti,
And in the sixth moneth, the Angell Gabriel was sent from God vnto a citie of Galile, named Nazareth,
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 affianced to a man whose name was Ioseph, of the house of Dauid, and the virgins name was Marie.
28 Ejile amukingako naika ati, “Uno omu! embe, unu Uyabhilwe libhando enene! Omukama ali amwi nawe.”
And the Angel went in vnto her, and said, Haile thou that art freely beloued: the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 Nawe emisango ja malaika nijimusobhela nalema okumenya obhukesha obhwokulugusha bhunu bhuna nsongaki ku mwene.
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and thought what maner of salutation that should be.
30 Malaika namubhwila ati “Utobhaya, Mariamu, obha wabhwene ribhando ku Nyamuanga.
Then the Angel saide vnto her, Feare not, Marie: for thou hast found fauour with God.
31 Rora ougega inda Munda yao no owibhula omwana na lisina ryae oumutoga Yesu. omwene
For loe, thou shalt conceiue in thy wobe, and beare a sonne, and shalt call his name Iesus.
32 alibha mukuru alitogwa omwana wa unu ali inguru muno Lata Bhugenyi Nya Daudi esemwene
He shall be great, and shall be called the Sonne of the most High, and the Lord God shall giue vnto him the throne of his father Dauid.
And hee shall reigne ouer the house of Iacob for euer, and of his kingdome shall bee none ende. (aiōn g165)
34 Mariamu nabhusya malaika jiribha kutiki okubha nitana murume.
Then sayde Marie vnto the Angel, How shall this be, seeing I knowe not man?
35 Malaika namubhira “moyo mweru alikwijila inguru yao, namanaga unu aliinguru muno Anja inguru yao. ku nokubha omwana unu kebhulwa alitongwa omwana wa Nyamuanga
And the Angel answered, and said vnto her, The holy Ghost shall come vpon thee, and the power of the most High shall ouershadowe thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall bee borne of thee, shall be called the Sonne 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 behold, thy cousin Elisabet, she hath also conceiued a sonne in her olde age: and this is her sixt moneth, which was called barren.
37 Kulwokubha litalio linu elimusinga Nyamuanga.”
For with God shall nothing be vnpossible.
38 Maliamu naikati, Lola, anye ndi mukosi we chigasi wa Nyamuanga. Siga jibhe kutyo aikile kwanye emisango jao.”Neya malaika namusiga.
Then Marie said, Behold the seruant of the Lord: be it vnto me according to thy woorde. So the Angel departed from her.
39 Nio kunsiku ejo Mariamu nagenda bhwangu mu chalo chebhima, mu musi mu nsi ya Yudea.
And Marie arose in those daies, and went into ye hil countrey with hast to a citie of Iuda,
40 Agendele nengila munyumba ya Jakalia namukesha Elijabheti.
And entred into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabet.
41 Oli yabhonekene ati Elijabheti ejile inkesha ya Maliamu, omwana munda yae nejunga, na Elijabheti nejushwa no mwoyo mwelu.
And it came to passe, as Elisabet heard the salutation of Marie, the babe sprang in her bellie, and Elisabet was filled with the holy Ghost.
42 Naikila ingulu kwo bhulaka bhunene,”una libhando agati ya bhagasi bhona, no mwana unu ali munda yao ona abhonekewe.
And she cried with a loud voice, and saide, Blessed art thou among women, because the fruit of thy wombe is blessed.
43 Jabhakutiki kwanye ati, nyila wa Latabhugenyi jimwiile aje kwanye?
And whence commeth this to mee, 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 loe, assoone as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine eares, the babe sprang in my bellie for ioye,
45 Na abhonekeweomugasi oyo unu ekilisishe ati jakabhonekene jinu jaikilwe jili ja chimali jinu abhwiliwe okusoka ku Latabhugenyi.”
And blessed is shee that beleeued: for those things shall be perfourmed, which were tolde her from the Lord.
46 Maliamu naikati, omwoyo gwani ogumukuya Latabhugenyi,
Then Marie sayde, My soule magnifieth the Lord,
47 No mwoyo gwani gukondelewemu Nyamuanga omukisha wani.
And my spirite reioyceth in God my Sauiour.
48 Kulwokubha amalola kutyo ali mwololoomukosi wae owechigasi. Lola, okwambila woli jinyibhulo jona ejija okumbilikila owamabhando.
For hee hath looked on the poore degree of his seruaunt: for beholde, from henceforth shall all ages call me blessed,
49 Kulwokubha omwene owobhutulo amakola amgambo manene kwanye, na lisina lyae ni lyelu.
Because hee that is mightie, hath done for me great things, and holy is his Name.
50 Nechigongo chae chilio okusoka maimbo na maimbo ku bhanu bhanu abhamwikilisha.
And his mercie is from generation to generation on them that feare him.
51 Olesishe amanaga kwo kubhoko kwae, anyalambuye bhanu bhekushaga ingulu yo bhwiganilisha bhwe mioyo jebhwe.
Hee hath shewed strength with his arme: hee hath scattered the proude in the imagination of their hearts.
52 Abhatelemusishe ansi abhana bha bhakama okusoka kubhitebhe bhyebhwe ebhyobhukama no kubhakusha bhanu bhaliga bhagailwe.
Hee hath put downe the mighty from their seates, and exalted them of lowe degree.
53 Abhegusishe bhanu bhaliga bhana omweko gwe bhinu bhyekisi, tali abhanibhi abhabhilimishe bhatali na chinu.
Hee hath filled the hungrie with good things, and sent away the rich emptie.
54 Asosishe obhusakisi ku Israel omukosi wae, koleleki okwichuka okwolesha echigongo
Hee hath vpholden Israel his seruaunt to be mindefull of his mercie
(As hee hath spoken to our fathers, to wit, to Abraham, and his seede) for euer. (aiōn g165)
56 Maliamu ekae na Elijabheti kwa mwanya gwa mesi gasatu kutya nio nasubha ika ewae.
And Marie abode with her about three moneths: after, shee returned to her owne house.
57 Woli omwanya gwaliga gweile ogwa Elijabheti okwibhula omwana wae na nebhula omwana we chilume.
Nowe Elisabets time was fulfilled, that shee should be deliuered, and shee brought foorth a sonne.
58 Abhekashanya bhae na bhaili bhae bhonguhywe kutyo Latabhugenyi amwikisishe echigongo kumwene, nibhakondelelwa amwi nage.
And her neighbours, and cousins heard tell howe the Lord had shewed his great mercie vpon her, and they reioyced with her.
59 Woli jasokene ku lusiku lwa nane ati bhejile okumtenda omwana. Jaliga jibheile okumtoga lisina lyae, “Jakaliya,”kwo kulubha lisina lye esemwene,
And it was so that on the eight day they came to circumcise the babe, and called him Zacharias after the name of his father.
60 Tali nyila wae nasubhya naikati,”Payi; kabhilikilwa Yowana.”
But his mother answered, and saide, Not so, but he shalbe called Iohn.
61 Nibhamubwilati, atalio na umwi amwi mubhaili bhao unu kabhilikilwa lisinaelyo.”
And they saide vnto her, There is none of thy kindred, that is named with this name.
62 Nibhamukolela echijejekanyo esemwene wae okususanyisha omwene aliga nenda atogwe niga.
Then they made signes to his father, howe he would haue him called.
63 Esemwene nenda olubao lwo kwandikila, na nandikati,”Lisina lyae ni Yowana.”Bhona nibhalugusibhwa nelyo.
So hee asked for writing tables, and wrote, saying, His name is Iohn, and they marueiled all.
64 Aonao omunwa gwae nigwiguka no lulimi lwae nilusulumuka. Naloma nakumukusha Nyamuanga.
And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake and praised God.
65 Nibhobhaya bhona bhanu bhaliga bhekae ayeyi nabho. Emisango ejo nijiswila muchalo chona echa mabhanga ga Yudeya.
Then feare came on all them that dwelt neere vnto them, and all these woordes were noised abroade throughout all the hill countrey of Iudea.
66 Bhona bhanu bhagonguhye nibhagabhika mumitima jebhwe, nibhaika ati, “Omwana unu ni wakutiki?” Kulwokubha okubhoko kwa Nyamuanga kuliamwi nage.
And al they that heard them, laid them vp in their hearts, saying, What maner childe shall this be! and the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 Esemwene wae Jakaliya ejusibhwe no Mwoyo Mwelu nasosha obhulagi, naikati, Asimwe
Then his father Zacharias was filled with the holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
68 Latabhugenyi, Nyamuanga wa Isilaeli, kulwokubha amasakila na amafulubhendela omwelulo gwa bhanu bhae.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, because he hath visited and redeemed his people,
69 Amachinamusisha liyembe elyomwelulo mu nyumba yo mukosi wae Daudi, okusoka mubhamwi bho luganda lwo mukosi wae Daudi,
And hath raised vp the horne of saluation vnto vs, in the house of his seruant Dauid,
As he spake by ye mouth of his holy Prophets, which were since the world began, saying, (aiōn g165)
71 Kaja ochikisha okusoka kubhasoko bheswe no kusoka mumabhoko gabhanu bhachiyatile.
That he would sende vs deliuerance from our enemies, and from the hands of all that hate vs,
72 Alikola kutya okwolesha echigongo kubhalata, nokwichuka lilagano lyae lyo bhwelu,
That he might shewe mercie towards our fathers, and remember his holy couenant,
73 no mulayi gunu aikile ku lata weswe Aburamu.
And the othe which he sware to our father Abraham.
74 Alaiye okwolesha ati jakatulikene okumukolela Omwene atali na bhubuha, chisanga chamalile okuchungulwa okusoka mumabhoko ga bhasoko bheswe.
Which was, that he would graunt vnto vs, that we being deliuered out of the handes of our enemies, should serue him without feare,
75 Mubhwelu no bhulengelesi lmbele yaye munsiku jeswe jona.
All the daies of our life, in holinesse and righteousnesse before him.
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 thou, babe, shalt be called the Prophet of the most High: for thou shalt goe before the face of the Lord, to prepare his waies,
77 Okubhamenyesha abhanu bhae ati, bhalichungulwa kwo kwiswalililwa ebhibhibhi bhyebhwe.
And to giue knowledge of saluation vnto his people, by the remission of their sinnes,
78 Linu libhonekene kulwainsonga ye chigongo cha Nyamuanga weswe, kulwainsonga ati lisubha okusoka ingulu lilichijila,
Through ye tender mercy of our God, wherby the day spring from an hie hath visited vs,
79 Okumulikila bhanu bhanu bhekae muchisute na mwilengesi lyo lufu. Kakola kutyo okutangasha amagulu geswe mu njila yo mulembe.”
To giue light to them that sit in darknes, and in the shadow of death, and to guide our feete into the way of peace.
80 Woli, omwana oyo nakula nabha namanaga ge chinyamwoyo na ekae mwibhala kukinga olusiku lwo kubhonekana kwae ku Isilaeli.
And the childe grewe, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the wildernesse, til the day came that he should shewe him selfe vnto Israel.
