Luka 1
1 Abhanu bafu bhekomesishe okujitonda kisi emisango jinu jakumiye agati yeswe.
Whereas many have undertaken to compose a narrative of the things, which have been fully certified among us;
2 Lwakutyo eswe chayabhwilwe na bhanu bhajilolele na ameso kwambila kubhwambilo bhali bhakosi bho Omusango gwa Nyamuanga.
as they delivered them to us, who were from the beginning eye-witnesses of them, and ministers of the word;
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 thoroughly traced them all from the very first, to write an account of them in order to thee,
4 Koleleki utule okumenya echimali che emisango jinu weigisibhwe.
most excellent Theophilus, that thou mayst know the certainty of the things wherein thou hast 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.
There was in the days of Herod king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the family of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
6 Abho bhone bhaliga bhali bhalengelesi imbele ya Nyamuanga bhagwatiliye ebhilagilo byona ebhyo Omukama na jindamu jaye.
And they were both righteous in the sight of God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7 Nawe bhaliga bhatana mwana, kulwokubha Elizabethi aliga alimugumba, na bhaliga bhakokoye muno.
And they had no child, for Elisabeth was barren; and they were both far advanced in years.
8 Kakingile akatungu ko olubho lwa Zakaria okubha imbele ya Nyamuanga nakolaga emilimu jobhugabhisi,
And it came to pass, while he was in the order of his course performing the priest's office before God,
9 Mbe nibhamusola okwingana lwa kutyo bhasolwaga mumilimu jo obugabhisi, agende mwiyekalu okututa omuchumulilo.
according to the custom of dividing the office of the priests, that it fell to his lot to burn incense, entring into the temple of the Lord:
10 Katungu nibhatuta omuchumulilo elikofyanya lyaliga lilianja nilisabhwa.
and all the people were praying without at the time of offering incense.
11 Mbe Malaika wo Omukama amufulumukiyeko nemelegulu mukubhoko kwe ebhulyo okwe ebhigabhilo bhokututila.
And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right hand of the altar of incense.
12 Ejile Zakaria amulola natinyuka nabhamo nobhubha.
And when Zacharias saw him, he was startled and struck with fear:
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 unto him, Fear not, Zacharias; for thy prayer is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John:
14 Ulikondelwa nokusandabha, na bhanfu bhalikondelelwa ukwibhulwa kwaye.
and he shall be a joy and transport to thee, yea, many shall rejoice on account of his birth; for he shall be great in the sight of the Lord,
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.
and he shall drink neither wine nor any other strong liquor; and he shall be filled with the holy Spirit even from his birth;
16 Alubhasubhya bhanu bhafu bha Isiraeli kumukama Nyamuanga webhwe
and many of the children of Israel shall he convert unto 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 shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to prepare for the Lord a people well-disposed.
18 Zakaria nabhwila malaika ati, “Omusango gunu enigumenya kutiki? Kulwokubha anye nakokoye ke emyaka jo omugasi wani ona jabheye myafu muno.”
And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife far advanced in years.
19 Malaika nasubhya namubhwila ati, “Anye nanye Gabhulyeli, unu nimeleguyu imbele ya Nyamuanga. Nitumilwe okuja nikubhwile omusango gunu ogwekisi.
And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God, and I am sent to speak to thee, and to tell thee this good news:
20 Mbe lola oubha mujibhi, utakwaika kukingila kulusiku olwo jinu jilikumila. Kulwokubha walemele okwikilisha emisango jani ejojilikumila mukatungu akene.
and now shalt thou be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall come to pass; because thou believedst not my words, which shall be fulfilled at their season.
21 Mbe abhanu bhaliga bhamulindiliye zakaria. Nibhalugula okulola namala omwanya mulela ali mwiyekalu.
And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and wondered at his staying so long 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, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them, and continued speechless:
23 Nijibha ati ejile amala emilimu jo obhugabhisi nemuka okusubha ika owaye.
and as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own 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 these days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and retired five months,
25 “Linu nilyo Lata Bhugenyi amankolelea ejile ansima koleleki ansosheko jinswalo imbele ya abhanu.”
saying, the Lord hath thus dealt with me in the days wherein he looked upon me to take away my reproach among men.
26 Inda ya Elijabheti yejile yakingya mesi mukaga, Nyamuanga atumile malaika Gabhulieli okugenda mumusi gwa Galilaya gunu ogutogwa Najareti,
But in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city 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 who was betrothed to a man, whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.
28 Ejile amukingako naika ati, “Uno omu! embe, unu Uyabhilwe libhando enene! Omukama ali amwi nawe.”
And when the angel came in to the room to her, he said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured; the Lord is with thee;
29 Nawe emisango ja malaika nijimusobhela nalema okumenya obhukesha obhwokulugusha bhunu bhuna nsongaki ku mwene.
blessed art thou among women! and when she saw him, she was confused at what he said, and pondered in her mind what sort of salutation this could be.
30 Malaika namubhwila ati “Utobhaya, Mariamu, obha wabhwene ribhando ku Nyamuanga.
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favor with God:
31 Rora ougega inda Munda yao no owibhula omwana na lisina ryae oumutoga Yesu. omwene
and behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS:
32 alibha mukuru alitogwa omwana wa unu ali inguru muno Lata Bhugenyi Nya Daudi esemwene
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God shall give Him the throne of David his father,
and He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
34 Mariamu nabhusya malaika jiribha kutiki okubha nitana murume.
Then said Mary to the angel, How can 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
And the angel answered and said unto her, The holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee, and therefore thine holy offspring shall be called the Son of God: and lo,
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.
thy cousin Elisabeth also hath conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her that 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 the servant of the Lord, may it be unto me according to thy word. So the angel departed from her.
39 Nio kunsiku ejo Mariamu nagenda bhwangu mu chalo chebhima, mu musi mu nsi ya Yudea.
Then Mary arose and went with speed into the hill-country, to a city of Juda,
40 Agendele nengila munyumba ya Jakalia namukesha Elijabheti.
and came into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
41 Oli yabhonekene ati Elijabheti ejile inkesha ya Maliamu, omwana munda yae nejunga, na Elijabheti nejushwa no mwoyo mwelu.
And as soon as Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the child leaped in her womb, and Elisabeth 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.
and she cried out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb:
43 Jabhakutiki kwanye ati, nyila wa Latabhugenyi jimwiile aje kwanye?
and whence is this honor 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, as soon as the voice of thy salutation reached my ears, the child in my womb leaped for joy:
45 Na abhonekeweomugasi oyo unu ekilisishe ati jakabhonekene jinu jaikilwe jili ja chimali jinu abhwiliwe okusoka ku Latabhugenyi.”
and blessed is she that believed; for there shall be a performance of the things that were told her from the Lord.
46 Maliamu naikati, omwoyo gwani ogumukuya Latabhugenyi,
And Mary said, "My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour;
47 No mwoyo gwani gukondelewemu Nyamuanga omukisha wani.
for He hath regarded the low estate of his handmaid:
48 Kulwokubha amalola kutyo ali mwololoomukosi wae owechigasi. Lola, okwambila woli jinyibhulo jona ejija okumbilikila owamabhando.
for behold, from henceforth shall all generations call me blessed:
49 Kulwokubha omwene owobhutulo amakola amgambo manene kwanye, na lisina lyae ni lyelu.
for He that is mighty hath done great things for me,
50 Nechigongo chae chilio okusoka maimbo na maimbo ku bhanu bhanu abhamwikilisha.
and his name is holy, and his mercy is on them that fear Him, unto all generations.
51 Olesishe amanaga kwo kubhoko kwae, anyalambuye bhanu bhekushaga ingulu yo bhwiganilisha bhwe mioyo jebhwe.
He hath wrought powerfully with his arm; He hath confounded those that were proud in the imagination of their heart.
52 Abhatelemusishe ansi abhana bha bhakama okusoka kubhitebhe bhyebhwe ebhyobhukama no kubhakusha bhanu bhaliga bhagailwe.
He hath cast down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the humble.
53 Abhegusishe bhanu bhaliga bhana omweko gwe bhinu bhyekisi, tali abhanibhi abhabhilimishe bhatali na chinu.
He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He hath sent away empty.
54 Asosishe obhusakisi ku Israel omukosi wae, koleleki okwichuka okwolesha echigongo
He hath supported Israel his servant,
in remembrance of his mercy (even as He promised to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed, ) for ever." (aiōn g165)
56 Maliamu ekae na Elijabheti kwa mwanya gwa mesi gasatu kutya nio nasubha ika ewae.
And Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her own house.
57 Woli omwanya gwaliga gweile ogwa Elijabheti okwibhula omwana wae na nebhula omwana we chilume.
Now when Elisabeth's time for her delivery was fully come, she brought forth a son:
58 Abhekashanya bhae na bhaili bhae bhonguhywe kutyo Latabhugenyi amwikisishe echigongo kumwene, nibhakondelelwa amwi nage.
and her neighbours and kindred heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they congratulated her;
59 Woli jasokene ku lusiku lwa nane ati bhejile okumtenda omwana. Jaliga jibheile okumtoga lisina lyae, “Jakaliya,”kwo kulubha lisina lye esemwene,
and on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child: and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father:
60 Tali nyila wae nasubhya naikati,”Payi; kabhilikilwa Yowana.”
but his mother said, No, but he shall be called John:
61 Nibhamubwilati, atalio na umwi amwi mubhaili bhao unu kabhilikilwa lisinaelyo.”
and they said to her, There is none of thy relations of this name.
62 Nibhamukolela echijejekanyo esemwene wae okususanyisha omwene aliga nenda atogwe niga.
And they made signs to his father, what name he would have him called by.
63 Esemwene nenda olubao lwo kwandikila, na nandikati,”Lisina lyae ni Yowana.”Bhona nibhalugusibhwa nelyo.
And he called for a writing-tablet, and wrote upon it, His name is John: and they all wondered.
64 Aonao omunwa gwae nigwiguka no lulimi lwae nilusulumuka. Naloma nakumukusha Nyamuanga.
And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake and praised God.
65 Nibhobhaya bhona bhanu bhaliga bhekae ayeyi nabho. Emisango ejo nijiswila muchalo chona echa mabhanga ga Yudeya.
And an awe fell upon all that dwelt round about them; and all these things were divulged through the whole hill-country of Judea.
66 Bhona bhanu bhagonguhye nibhagabhika mumitima jebhwe, nibhaika ati, “Omwana unu ni wakutiki?” Kulwokubha okubhoko kwa Nyamuanga kuliamwi nage.
And all that heard them, laid them up in their hearts, saying, What a child will this be? And the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 Esemwene wae Jakaliya ejusibhwe no Mwoyo Mwelu nasosha obhulagi, naikati, Asimwe
And his father Zacharias was filled with the holy Spirit,
68 Latabhugenyi, Nyamuanga wa Isilaeli, kulwokubha amasakila na amafulubhendela omwelulo gwa bhanu bhae.
and prophesied, saying, "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,
69 Amachinamusisha liyembe elyomwelulo mu nyumba yo mukosi wae Daudi, okusoka mubhamwi bho luganda lwo mukosi wae Daudi,
and hath raised up an horn of salvation for us,
in the house of his servant David, as He spake by the mouth of his holy prophets from the beginning, (aiōn g165)
71 Kaja ochikisha okusoka kubhasoko bheswe no kusoka mumabhoko gabhanu bhachiyatile.
even salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
72 Alikola kutya okwolesha echigongo kubhalata, nokwichuka lilagano lyae lyo bhwelu,
to display his mercy towards our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
73 no mulayi gunu aikile ku lata weswe Aburamu.
according to the oath which He sware to Abraham our father,
74 Alaiye okwolesha ati jakatulikene okumukolela Omwene atali na bhubuha, chisanga chamalile okuchungulwa okusoka mumabhoko ga bhasoko bheswe.
to grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him,
75 Mubhwelu no bhulengelesi lmbele yaye munsiku jeswe jona.
all the days of our life.
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, my child, shalt be called the prophet of the most High; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord,
77 Okubhamenyesha abhanu bhae ati, bhalichungulwa kwo kwiswalililwa ebhibhibhi bhyebhwe.
to make known salvation to his people,
78 Linu libhonekene kulwainsonga ye chigongo cha Nyamuanga weswe, kulwainsonga ati lisubha okusoka ingulu lilichijila,
in the remission of their sins, through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring hath 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 enlighten them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to direct 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 deserts till the time of his being manifested to Israel.
