Luka 1
1 Abhanu bafu bhekomesishe okujitonda kisi emisango jinu jakumiye agati yeswe.
Since many have undertaken to compile an account of the events that have been fulfilled among us,
2 Lwakutyo eswe chayabhwilwe na bhanu bhajilolele na ameso kwambila kubhwambilo bhali bhakosi bho Omusango gwa Nyamuanga.
just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have 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 carefully investigated all things from the beginning, to write an orderly account for yoʋ, most excellent Theophilus,
4 Koleleki utule okumenya echimali che emisango jinu weigisibhwe.
so that yoʋ may know the certainty of the things about which yoʋ have been 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 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 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 regulations of the Lord.
7 Nawe bhaliga bhatana mwana, kulwokubha Elizabethi aliga alimugumba, na bhaliga bhakokoye muno.
But they had no children because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in their days.
8 Kakingile akatungu ko olubho lwa Zakaria okubha imbele ya Nyamuanga nakolaga emilimu jobhugabhisi,
While Zechariah was serving as a priest before God when his division was on duty,
9 Mbe nibhamusola okwingana lwa kutyo bhasolwaga mumilimu jo obugabhisi, agende mwiyekalu okututa omuchumulilo.
he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10 Katungu nibhatuta omuchumulilo elikofyanya lyaliga lilianja nilisabhwa.
At the hour of incense a great crowd was assembled outside, praying.
11 Mbe Malaika wo Omukama amufulumukiyeko nemelegulu mukubhoko kwe ebhulyo okwe ebhigabhilo bhokututila.
Then an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Ejile Zakaria amulola natinyuka nabhamo nobhubha.
When Zechariah saw him, he was startled, 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, Zechariah, for yoʋr prayer has been heard. Yoʋr wife Elizabeth will bear yoʋ a son, and yoʋ shall name him John.
14 Ulikondelwa nokusandabha, na bhanfu bhalikondelelwa ukwibhulwa kwaye.
Yoʋ 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. 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 Alubhasubhya bhanu bhafu bha Isiraeli kumukama Nyamuanga webhwe
He will turn many of the sons of Israel 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.”
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 Zakaria nabhwila malaika ati, “Omusango gunu enigumenya kutiki? Kulwokubha anye nakokoye ke emyaka jo omugasi wani ona jabheye myafu muno.”
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 Malaika nasubhya namubhwila ati, “Anye nanye Gabhulyeli, unu nimeleguyu imbele ya Nyamuanga. Nitumilwe okuja nikubhwile omusango gunu ogwekisi.
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 Mbe lola oubha mujibhi, utakwaika kukingila kulusiku olwo jinu jilikumila. Kulwokubha walemele okwikilisha emisango jani ejojilikumila mukatungu akene.
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 Mbe abhanu bhaliga bhamulindiliye zakaria. Nibhalugula okulola namala omwanya mulela ali mwiyekalu.
Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering about his delay in the temple.
22 Nawe ejile auluka atatule kwaika nabho. Nibhamenya ati aliga alolele chiroro mwiyekaru.
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 Nijibha ati ejile amala emilimu jo obhugabhisi nemuka okusubha ika owaye.
And when the days of his service had come to an end, he returned to his home.
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 those days his wife Elizabeth conceived and kept herself in seclusion for five months, saying,
25 “Linu nilyo Lata Bhugenyi amankolelea ejile ansima koleleki ansosheko jinswalo imbele ya abhanu.”
“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 Inda ya Elijabheti yejile yakingya mesi mukaga, Nyamuanga atumile malaika Gabhulieli okugenda mumusi gwa Galilaya gunu ogutogwa Najareti,
In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee called 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 betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.
28 Ejile amukingako naika ati, “Uno omu! embe, unu Uyabhilwe libhando enene! Omukama ali amwi nawe.”
The angel came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with yoʋ! Blessed are yoʋ among women!”
29 Nawe emisango ja malaika nijimusobhela nalema okumenya obhukesha obhwokulugusha bhunu bhuna nsongaki ku mwene.
But when Mary saw him, she was greatly perplexed by his statement and began wondering what sort of greeting this could be.
30 Malaika namubhwila ati “Utobhaya, Mariamu, obha wabhwene ribhando ku Nyamuanga.
Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for yoʋ have found favor with God.
31 Rora ougega inda Munda yao no owibhula omwana na lisina ryae oumutoga Yesu. omwene
And behold, yoʋ will conceive in yoʋr womb and give birth to a son, and yoʋ shall name him Jesus.
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, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.
He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” (aiōn g165)
34 Mariamu nabhusya malaika jiribha kutiki okubha nitana murume.
Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since 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 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 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, 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 Kulwokubha litalio linu elimusinga Nyamuanga.”
For nothing is impossible with God.”
38 Maliamu naikati, Lola, anye ndi mukosi we chigasi wa Nyamuanga. Siga jibhe kutyo aikile kwanye emisango jao.”Neya malaika namusiga.
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 Nio kunsiku ejo Mariamu nagenda bhwangu mu chalo chebhima, mu musi mu nsi ya Yudea.
In those days Mary arose and went with haste to the hill country, to a town of Judah,
40 Agendele nengila munyumba ya Jakalia namukesha Elijabheti.
where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
41 Oli yabhonekene ati Elijabheti ejile inkesha ya Maliamu, omwana munda yae nejunga, na Elijabheti nejushwa no mwoyo mwelu.
When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
42 Naikila ingulu kwo bhulaka bhunene,”una libhando agati ya bhagasi bhona, no mwana unu ali munda yao ona abhonekewe.
Then she exclaimed with a loud voice, “Blessed are yoʋ among women, and blessed is the fruit of yoʋr womb!
43 Jabhakutiki kwanye ati, nyila wa Latabhugenyi jimwiile aje kwanye?
How has this happened to me 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 behold, when the sound of yoʋr greeting came into my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
45 Na abhonekeweomugasi oyo unu ekilisishe ati jakabhonekene jinu jaikilwe jili ja chimali jinu abhwiliwe okusoka ku Latabhugenyi.”
Blessed is she who has believed, for what the Lord has spoken to her will be fulfilled.”
46 Maliamu naikati, omwoyo gwani ogumukuya Latabhugenyi,
Then Mary 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.
because he has looked favorably on the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed,
49 Kulwokubha omwene owobhutulo amakola amgambo manene kwanye, na lisina lyae ni lyelu.
because the Mighty One has done great things for me; holy is his name.
50 Nechigongo chae chilio okusoka maimbo na maimbo ku bhanu bhanu abhamwikilisha.
From generation to generation his mercy is upon those who fear him.
51 Olesishe amanaga kwo kubhoko kwae, anyalambuye bhanu bhekushaga ingulu yo bhwiganilisha bhwe mioyo jebhwe.
He has done a mighty deed with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
52 Abhatelemusishe ansi abhana bha bhakama okusoka kubhitebhe bhyebhwe ebhyobhukama no kubhakusha bhanu bhaliga bhagailwe.
He has brought down rulers from their thrones and 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, but the rich he has sent away empty.
54 Asosishe obhusakisi ku Israel omukosi wae, koleleki okwichuka okwolesha echigongo
He has helped his servant Israel, remembering his mercy,
just as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever.” (aiōn g165)
56 Maliamu ekae na Elijabheti kwa mwanya gwa mesi gasatu kutya nio nasubha ika ewae.
And Mary remained with Elizabeth for 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 was fulfilled for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son.
58 Abhekashanya bhae na bhaili bhae bhonguhywe kutyo Latabhugenyi amwikisishe echigongo kumwene, nibhakondelelwa amwi nage.
Then her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy with 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,
On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him Zechariah, after his father.
60 Tali nyila wae nasubhya naikati,”Payi; kabhilikilwa Yowana.”
But the child's mother responded, “No! He is to be called John.”
61 Nibhamubwilati, atalio na umwi amwi mubhaili bhao unu kabhilikilwa lisinaelyo.”
But they said to her, “There is no one among yoʋr relatives who has that name.”
62 Nibhamukolela echijejekanyo esemwene wae okususanyisha omwene aliga nenda atogwe niga.
Then they began making signs to the child's father to find out what he wanted to name him.
63 Esemwene nenda olubao lwo kwandikila, na nandikati,”Lisina lyae ni Yowana.”Bhona nibhalugusibhwa nelyo.
So he asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.
64 Aonao omunwa gwae nigwiguka no lulimi lwae nilusulumuka. Naloma nakumukusha Nyamuanga.
At once Zechariah's mouth was opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak, blessing God.
65 Nibhobhaya bhona bhanu bhaliga bhekae ayeyi nabho. Emisango ejo nijiswila muchalo chona echa mabhanga ga Yudeya.
Then fear came upon all who dwelt around them, and in the entire hill country of Judea all these things were being discussed.
66 Bhona bhanu bhagonguhye nibhagabhika mumitima jebhwe, nibhaika ati, “Omwana unu ni wakutiki?” Kulwokubha okubhoko kwa Nyamuanga kuliamwi nage.
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 Esemwene wae Jakaliya ejusibhwe no Mwoyo Mwelu nasosha obhulagi, naikati, Asimwe
Then Zechariah, the child's father, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
68 Latabhugenyi, Nyamuanga wa Isilaeli, kulwokubha amasakila na amafulubhendela omwelulo gwa bhanu bhae.
“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited his people and brought them redemption.
69 Amachinamusisha liyembe elyomwelulo mu nyumba yo mukosi wae Daudi, okusoka mubhamwi bho luganda lwo mukosi wae Daudi,
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 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 deal mercifully with our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,
73 no mulayi gunu aikile ku lata weswe Aburamu.
the oath he swore to Abraham our father, to grant us
74 Alaiye okwolesha ati jakatulikene okumukolela Omwene atali na bhubuha, chisanga chamalile okuchungulwa okusoka mumabhoko ga bhasoko bheswe.
that we, having been rescued from the hands of our enemies, might serve him without fear,
75 Mubhwelu no bhulengelesi lmbele yaye munsiku jeswe jona.
in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our lives.
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 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 Okubhamenyesha abhanu bhae ati, bhalichungulwa kwo kwiswalililwa ebhibhibhi bhyebhwe.
to give his people knowledge of salvation through the remission of their sins,
78 Linu libhonekene kulwainsonga ye chigongo cha Nyamuanga weswe, kulwainsonga ati lisubha okusoka ingulu lilichijila,
through the tender mercy of our God, by which the sunrise has visited us from on high,
79 Okumulikila bhanu bhanu bhekae muchisute na mwilengesi lyo lufu. Kakola kutyo okutangasha amagulu geswe mu njila yo mulembe.”
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 Woli, omwana oyo nakula nabha namanaga ge chinyamwoyo na ekae mwibhala kukinga olusiku lwo kubhonekana kwae ku Isilaeli.
And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
