Luka 1
1 Abhanu bafu bhekomesishe okujitonda kisi emisango jinu jakumiye agati yeswe.
Many have taken on the work of putting together an account of the things 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 they were passed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.
3 Kulwejo anye ona, nejile namala okukengela kisi obhwambilo bhwe emisango jona- nalola ati nikisi nikwandikile kubhwitondi bhwajo-Teofilo owechibhalo.
So it seemed good to me also, because I have accurately investigated everything from the beginning, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,
4 Koleleki utule okumenya echimali che emisango jinu weigisibhwe.
so that you might know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
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, king of Judea, there was a certain priest named Zechariah, from the division of Abijah. His wife was from 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, obeying 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 Elizabeth was barren, and they were both very old by this time.
8 Kakingile akatungu ko olubho lwa Zakaria okubha imbele ya Nyamuanga nakolaga emilimu jobhugabhisi,
Now it came about that Zechariah was in God's presence, carrying out the priestly duties in the order of his division.
9 Mbe nibhamusola okwingana lwa kutyo bhasolwaga mumilimu jo obugabhisi, agende mwiyekalu okututa omuchumulilo.
According to the customary way of choosing which priest would serve, he had been chosen by lot to enter into the temple of the Lord to burn incense.
10 Katungu nibhatuta omuchumulilo elikofyanya lyaliga lilianja nilisabhwa.
The whole crowd of people was praying outside at the hour when the incense was burned.
11 Mbe Malaika wo Omukama amufulumukiyeko nemelegulu mukubhoko kwe ebhulyo okwe ebhigabhilo bhokututila.
Now an angel of the Lord appeared to him and stood at the right side of the incense altar.
12 Ejile Zakaria amulola natinyuka nabhamo nobhubha.
When Zechariah saw him, he was terrified and fear fell on 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, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son. You will call his name John.
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. He must never drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from his mother's womb.
16 Alubhasubhya bhanu bhafu bha Isiraeli kumukama Nyamuanga webhwe
Many of the people of Israel will be turned 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 the face of the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him.”
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 I am an old man and my wife is very old.”
19 Malaika nasubhya namubhwila ati, “Anye nanye Gabhulyeli, unu nimeleguyu imbele ya Nyamuanga. Nitumilwe okuja nikubhwile omusango gunu ogwekisi.
The angel answered and said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, 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.
Behold! You will be silent, unable to speak, until the day these things take place. This is because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at the right time.”
21 Mbe abhanu bhaliga bhamulindiliye zakaria. Nibhalugula okulola namala omwanya mulela ali mwiyekalu.
Now the people were waiting for Zechariah. They were surprised that he was spending so much time in the temple.
22 Nawe ejile auluka atatule kwaika nabho. Nibhamenya ati aliga alolele chiroro mwiyekaru.
But when he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized that he had seen a vision while he was in the temple. He kept on making signs to them and remained silent.
23 Nijibha ati ejile amala emilimu jo obhugabhisi nemuka okusubha ika owaye.
It came about that when the days of his service were over, he went 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, his wife Elizabeth conceived and for five months she kept herself hidden. She said,
25 “Linu nilyo Lata Bhugenyi amankolelea ejile ansima koleleki ansosheko jinswalo imbele ya abhanu.”
“This is what the Lord has done for me when he looked at me with favor in order to take away my shame before 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 from God to a city in Galilee 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 engaged to a man whose name was Joseph. He belonged to the house of David, and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 Ejile amukingako naika ati, “Uno omu! embe, unu Uyabhilwe libhando enene! Omukama ali amwi nawe.”
He came to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
29 Nawe emisango ja malaika nijimusobhela nalema okumenya obhukesha obhwokulugusha bhunu bhuna nsongaki ku mwene.
But she was very confused by his words and she wondered what kind of greeting this could be.
30 Malaika namubhwila ati “Utobhaya, Mariamu, obha wabhwene ribhando ku Nyamuanga.
The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 Rora ougega inda Munda yao no owibhula omwana na lisina ryae oumutoga Yesu. omwene
See, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son. You will call his name '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. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David.
He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his kingdom.” (aiōn g165)
34 Mariamu nabhusya malaika jiribha kutiki okubha nitana murume.
Mary said to the angel, “How will this happen, since I have not slept with any 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
The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will come over you. So the holy one 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.
See, your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age. This is the sixth month for her, she who was called barren.
37 Kulwokubha litalio linu elimusinga Nyamuanga.”
For nothing will be impossible for God.”
38 Maliamu naikati, Lola, anye ndi mukosi we chigasi wa Nyamuanga. Siga jibhe kutyo aikile kwanye emisango jao.”Neya malaika namusiga.
Mary said, “See, I am the female servant of the Lord. Let it be for me according to your message.” Then the angel left her.
39 Nio kunsiku ejo Mariamu nagenda bhwangu mu chalo chebhima, mu musi mu nsi ya Yudea.
Then Mary arose in those days and quickly went into the hill country, to a city in Judea.
40 Agendele nengila munyumba ya Jakalia namukesha Elijabheti.
She went into 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.
Now it happened that when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby in her womb jumped, 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.
She raised her voice and said loudly, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
43 Jabhakutiki kwanye ati, nyila wa Latabhugenyi jimwiile aje kwanye?
Why has it 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 see, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb jumped 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 that there would be a fulfillment of the things that were told her from the Lord.”
46 Maliamu naikati, omwoyo gwani ogumukuya Latabhugenyi,
Mary said, “My soul praises the Lord,
47 No mwoyo gwani gukondelewemu Nyamuanga omukisha wani.
and my spirit has rejoiced 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 low condition of his female servant. For see, 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 his name is holy.
50 Nechigongo chae chilio okusoka maimbo na maimbo ku bhanu bhanu abhamwikilisha.
His mercy lasts from generation to generation for those who fear him.
51 Olesishe amanaga kwo kubhoko kwae, anyalambuye bhanu bhekushaga ingulu yo bhwiganilisha bhwe mioyo jebhwe.
He has displayed strength with his arm; he has scattered those who were proud about the thoughts of their hearts.
52 Abhatelemusishe ansi abhana bha bhakama okusoka kubhitebhe bhyebhwe ebhyobhukama no kubhakusha bhanu bhaliga bhagailwe.
He has thrown down princes from their thrones and he has raised up those of low condition.
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 given help to Israel his servant, so as to remember to show mercy
(as he said to our fathers) to Abraham and his descendants forever.” (aiōn g165)
56 Maliamu ekae na Elijabheti kwa mwanya gwa mesi gasatu kutya nio nasubha ika ewae.
Mary stayed with Elizabeth 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 had come for Elizabeth to deliver her baby and she gave birth to 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 shown his great mercy to 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,
Now it happened on the eighth day that they came to circumcise the child. They would have called him “Zechariah,” after the name of his father.
60 Tali nyila wae nasubhya naikati,”Payi; kabhilikilwa Yowana.”
But his mother answered and said, “No. He will be called John.”
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 as to how he wanted him to be named.
63 Esemwene nenda olubao lwo kwandikila, na nandikati,”Lisina lyae ni Yowana.”Bhona nibhalugusibhwa nelyo.
His father asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” They all were astonished at this.
64 Aonao omunwa gwae nigwiguka no lulimi lwae nilusulumuka. Naloma nakumukusha Nyamuanga.
Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue was freed. He spoke and praised 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. All these matters were spread throughout all the hill country of Judea.
66 Bhona bhanu bhagonguhye nibhagabhika mumitima jebhwe, nibhaika ati, “Omwana unu ni wakutiki?” Kulwokubha okubhoko kwa Nyamuanga kuliamwi nage.
All who heard them stored them in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child become?” For the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 Esemwene wae Jakaliya ejusibhwe no Mwoyo Mwelu nasosha obhulagi, naikati, Asimwe
His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying,
68 Latabhugenyi, Nyamuanga wa Isilaeli, kulwokubha amasakila na amafulubhendela omwelulo gwa bhanu bhae.
“Praised be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has come to help and he has accomplished redemption for his people.
69 Amachinamusisha liyembe elyomwelulo mu nyumba yo mukosi wae Daudi, okusoka mubhamwi bho luganda lwo mukosi wae Daudi,
He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
(as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from 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,
He will do this to show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,
73 no mulayi gunu aikile ku lata weswe Aburamu.
the oath that he spoke to Abraham our father.
74 Alaiye okwolesha ati jakatulikene okumukolela Omwene atali na bhubuha, chisanga chamalile okuchungulwa okusoka mumabhoko ga bhasoko bheswe.
He swore to grant to us that we, having been delivered out of the hand of our enemies, would 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,
Yes, and you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his paths, to prepare people for his coming,
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,
This will happen because of the tender mercy of our God, because of which the sunrise from on high will come to help 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 in the shadow of death. He will do this to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
80 Woli, omwana oyo nakula nabha namanaga ge chinyamwoyo na ekae mwibhala kukinga olusiku lwo kubhonekana kwae ku Isilaeli.
Now the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
