Luka 1
1 Bhamehele bhakitahidi kubheka simulizi mpangilio kuhusu masuala ambagho ghatimisibhu kati jhitu,
Since many have undertaken to compile an account of the events that have been fulfilled among us,
2 Kama kyabhatupelili tete, ambabho kuhomela kubhuandu twajhele mashahidi bha mihu ni bhatumishi bha bhajumbe.
just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us,
3 Hivyo ni nene kabhele, baada jha kuchungusya kwa uangalifu chanzo kya mambo ghoha agha kuhoma kubhuandu - nibhuene ni kinofu kwa nene kabhele kukuj'handikila mu mpangilio bhuake - mheshimibhwa Theofilo.
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 Ili kwamba abhwesiajhi kumanya ukweli ghwa mambo ghaufundisibhu.
so that yoʋ may know the certainty of the things about which yoʋ have been instructed.
5 Katika magono gha Herode, mfalme ghwa Yudea, pajhele ni kuhani fulani jhaakutibhweghe Zakaria, bhwa lukholo lwa Abiya. N'dala munu ahomili mu bhabinti bha Haruni, ni lihina lya muene akutibhweghe Elizabeth.
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 Bhoha bhajhele ni haki mbele sya k'yara; Bhagendili bila lawama mu amri syoha ni malagisu gha Bwana.
They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and regulations of the Lord.
7 Lakini bhajhelepi ni muana, kwandabha Elizabeth ajhe tasa, ni kwa wakati obho bhuoha bhoha bhabhele bhajhele bhaseya sana.
But they had no children because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in their days.
8 Henu jhatokili kujha Zakaria ajhele ku uwepo bhwa K'yara, akajhendelela ni wajibu bhwa kikuhani ku utaratibu bhwa zamu jha muene.
While Zechariah was serving as a priest before God when his division was on duty,
9 Kulengana ni desturi jha kuchagula ndo kuhani jholekhu jhaibetakuhudumu, jha ahagulibhu kwa kura kujhingila mu hekalu lya Bwana ni kabhele ngaafukizi uvumba.
he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10 Likundi lyoha lya bhanu likajha lis'oka kwibhala wakati bhwa kufukizibhwa kwa uvumba.
At the hour of incense a great crowd was assembled outside, praying.
11 Henu malaika bha Bwana bhan'tokili ni kujhenia lubhafu lwa kulia bhwa madhabahu gha kufukizila.
Then an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Zakaria atishiki bho ambwene; hofu jhambinili.
When Zechariah saw him, he was startled, and fear fell upon him.
13 Lakini malaika akan'jobhela, “Usitili Zakaria, kwandabha maombi gha jhobhi nighap'eliki. N'dala bhu Elizabeth ibeta kuhogola mwana. Lihina lya muene wibetakun'kuta Yohana.
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 Wibetakujha ni furaha ni uchangamfu, ni bhingi bhibeta kuhobhokela kuhogoleka kwa muene.
Yoʋ will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth,
15 Kwa kujha wibetakujha wembahe pa mihu gha Bwana. Ibetalepi kunywa divai wala kinywaji kikali, na ibeta kujha ajasibhu ni Roho mtakatifu kuhomela mu lileme lya nyinamunu.
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 Ni bhanu bhingi bha Israel bhibeta kugeusibhwa kwa Bwana k'yara ghwa bhene.
He will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God.
17 Ibeta kulota palongolo pa mihu pa Bwana ku Roho ni nghofu sya Eliya. Ibeta kubhomba naha ili kukerebhusya mioyo ghya Dadi kwa bhana, ili kwamba bhabhibela kutii bhibeta kulota mu hekima jha bhenye haki. Ibeta kubhomba naha ili kubheka tayari kwa Bwana bhanu ambabho bhaandalibhu kwa ndabha jha muene.”
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 akan'jobhela malaika, “Nibetakubhwesya bhuli kumanya ele? kwandabha nene ne n'seya ni n'dala bhangu miaka ghya muene ghimehele sana.”
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 ajibili ni kun'jobhela, “Nene ne Gabrili, ambajhe nijhema palongolo pa K'yara. Nalaghisibhu kukujobhela, kukuletela habari ejhe njema.
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 Na langayi, wibetalepi kulongela, wibetakujha kununu, wibetalepi kulongela mpaka ligono lela mambo agha pa ghibeta kuhomela. Ejhe Kwandabha ghwa shindilu kukiera malobhi ghangu ambagho ghibeta kutimisibhwa kwa wakati mwafaka.”
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 Henu bhanu bhakajha bhakandela Zakaria. Bhasyangesibhu kujha ajhele itumila muda ghumehele mu hekalu.
Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering about his delay in the temple.
22 Lakini bho ahomili kwibhala, abhwesilepi kulongela nabhu. Bhakatambula kujha ibeta kujha akabhili maono bho ajhe mu hekalu. Ajhendelili kulasya ishara ni kubakila kinunu.
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 Ikatokela kwamba lgono lya huduma jha muene bhosimaliki kukerebhuka kunyumba jha muene.
And when the days of his service had come to an end, he returned to his home.
24 Baada jha Zakaria kukerebhuka kunyumba kuhoma ku huduma jha muene jhe hekalu, n'dala munu ajhe ni luleme. Ni muene abhokilepi panyumba jha muene kwa muda bhwa miezi mitano. Akajobha,
After those days his wife Elizabeth conceived and kept herself in seclusion for five months, saying,
25 “Ele ndo Bwana alibhombi kwa nene bho anilangili kwa upendeleo ili kujhibhosya soni jha nene palongolo pa bhanu.”
“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 Henu, pa mwesi ghwa sita bhwa luleme lwa Elizabeth, k'yara an'jobhili malaika Gabrieli kulota ku mji ghwa Galilaya bhwawikutibhwa Nazareti,
In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,
27 Kwa bikra jha aposibhu ni n'gosi ambajhe lihina lya muene lyajhele Yusufu. Muene ajhele bhwa lukholo lwa Daudi, ni lihina lya bikra ojhu ajhele Mariamu.
to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.
28 Akahida kwa muene ni kujobha, “salaam, bhebhe jhe upokili neema mbaha! Bwana apendisibhu nabhi”
The angel came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with yoʋ! Blessed are yoʋ among women!”
29 Lakini malobhi gha malaika ghan'changenye na ajhelibhu lepi kwandabha jha kiki malaika ajobhili salaam ejhe jha ajabu kwa muene.
But when Mary saw him, she was greatly perplexed by his statement and began wondering what sort of greeting this could be.
30 Malaika akan'jobhela, “Usitili, Mariamu, kwandabha ukabhili neema kuhoma kwa k'yara.
Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for yoʋ have found favor with God.
31 Na langayi, na wibeta kuhogola muana. Ni bhebhe wibetakun'kuta lihina lya muene 'Yesu.'
And behold, yoʋ will conceive in yoʋr womb and give birth to a son, and yoʋ shall name him Jesus.
32 Ibeta kujha mbaha ne ibeta kukutibhwa mwana jha ajhee panani sana. Bwana k'yara ibeta kump'ela kiti kya enzi kya Daudi dadimunu.
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.
33 Ibeta kutawala panani pa lukholo lwa Yakobo milele ni ufalme bhwa muene wibetalepi kujha ni mwisho. (aiōn g165)
He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” (aiōn g165)
34 Mariamu akan'jobhela malaika, e'le libetakutokela kwa muda gani, ndabha nibhwajhi lepi kugona ni n'gosi jhejhioha?
Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”
35 Malaika ajibili ni kun'jobhela, “Roho mtakatifu ibeta kuhidila juu jha bhebhe, ni nghofu jha ajhekunani sana jhibeta kuhida panani pa bhebhe. kwa hiyo, mtakatifu jha ibeta kuhogoleka ibeta kukutibhwa mwana ghwa K'yara.
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 Na langayi, ndongo bhu Elizabeth ajhe ni luleme lwa mwana mu umri bhwa muene bhwa useya. Obho ndo mwesu ghwa sita kwa muene, ambajhe ambajhe akutibhweghe mgumba.
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 Kwandabha lijhelepi libeta kubwesekana kwa k'yara.”
For nothing is impossible with God.”
38 Mariamu akajobha, “Langayi, nene na n'tumishi n'dala ghwa Bwana. Lekajhi jhijhelayi naha kwa nene sawasawa ni ujumbe bhwa jhobhi.” Kisha malaika akandeka.
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 Ndipo katika magono aghu Mariamu abhokili manyata alotili ku nchi jha vilima, ku mji katika nchi jha Yudea.
In those days Mary arose and went with haste to the hill country, to a town of Judah,
40 Alotili munyumba jha Zakaria ni kumponesya Elizabeth.
where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
41 Bho ap'eliki salamu jha Mariamu, muana mulileme lya muene arukili, ni Elizabeth akamemesibhwa ni Roho mtakatifu.
When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
42 Apazili sauti jha muene ni kujobha kwa sauti mbaha, “ubarikibhu bhebhe zaidi miongoni mwa bhadala, ni muana jha ajhele mu lileme lya jhobhi abarikibhu.
Then she exclaimed with a loud voice, “Blessed are yoʋ among women, and blessed is the fruit of yoʋr womb!
43 Na jhijhebhuli kwa nene kujha, mabhu ghwa Bwana bhangu jhilondekaghe ahidayi kwa nene?
How has this happened to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Kwa kujha langayi, bhojhipelekiki mie mb'olokhoto mwa nene sauti jha kuponesya kwa jhobhi, muana mulileme lya nene aruki kwa furaha.
For behold, when the sound of yoʋr greeting came into my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
45 Na abarikibhu n'dala jhola ambajhe akyeriri jha kujha ngeuhomili ukamilifu bhwa mambo ghala ghaajobhibhu kuhoma kwa Bwana.”
Blessed is she who has believed, for what the Lord has spoken to her will be fulfilled.”
46 Mariamu akajobha, nafsi jha nene jhikan'sifu Bwana,
Then Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 ni roho jha nene jhibiobhwiki kwa k'yara mwokozi ghwangu.
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 Kwandabha ajhilangili hali jha pasi jha n'tumishi bhwa muene n'dala. Langayi, tangu henu mu fizazi fyoha bhibeta kunikuta mbarikibhwa.
because he has looked favorably on the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed,
49 Kwandabha muene jha ajhe muweza abhombi mambo mabhaha kwa nene, ni lihina lya muene ni takatifu.
because the Mighty One has done great things for me; holy is his name.
50 Rehema jha muene jhidumu kuh'oma kizazi hadi kizazi kwa bhale bhabhaken'heshimu muene.
From generation to generation his mercy is upon those who fear him.
51 Alasili nghofo kwa kibhoko kya muene; abhatawenye bhela bhabhikifuneghe panani pa mabhwasu gha mioyo ghya bhene.
He has done a mighty deed with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
52 Abhaselisi pasi bhana bha bhafalme kuhoma pa fiti fya bhene fya enzi ni kubhajhinula panani bhabhejhele bha hali jha pasi.
He has brought down rulers from their thrones and exalted the lowly.
53 Abheshibishi bhenye njala kwa fenu finofu, bali matajiri abhabhengili mabhoko mat'opu.
He has filled the hungry with good things, but the rich he has sent away empty.
54 Ahomisi msaada kwa Israeli n'tumishi ghwa muene, ili kukhomboka kulasya rehema.
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 Mariamu atamili ni Elizabeth yapata miesi midatu efe ndo akakerebhuka kunyumba jha muene.
And Mary remained with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned to her house.
57 Henu wakati bhwajhele uwadili kwa Elizabeth kwifungula mwana bhwa muene ni kwifungula mwana ghwa kigosi.
Now the time was fulfilled for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son.
58 Majirani bha muene ni bhalongo munu bhap'eliki jinsi Bwana kya ajhikuzili rehema kwa muene, na bhahobhwiki pamonga ni muene.
Then her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.
59 Henu jhatokili ligono lya nane kwamba bhahidili kun'tahiri muana. Jhilondekaghe kun'kuta lihina lya muene, “Zekaria,” kwa kuzingatila lihina lya Dadimunu,
On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him Zechariah, after his father.
60 Lakini nyinamunu ajibili ni kujobhoha, “Lepi; ibeta kukutibhwa Yohana.”
But the child's mother responded, “No! He is to be called John.”
61 Bhakan'jobhela ajhelepi hata mmonga kwa bhalongobhu jhaikutibhwa kwa lihina e'le.”
But they said to her, “There is no one among yoʋr relatives who has that name.”
62 Bhakambombela ishara Dadimunu kuashiria muene alondeghe lihina akutibhwayi niani.
Then they began making signs to the child's father to find out what he wanted to name him.
63 Dadi munu alondeghe kibao kya kulembela, na akalemba, “Lihina lya muene Yohana.” Bhoha bhasyangesibhu ni e'le.
So he asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.
64 Ghafla ndomo ghwa muene ghwafungulibhu ni lumilu lwa muene lwajhele huru. Akalongela ni kun'sifu k'yara.
At once Zechariah's mouth was opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak, blessing God.
65 Hofu jhikabhahidila bhoha bhabhaishieghe karibu nabhu. Mambo agha ghakaenela mu nchi jhioha jha vilima vya Yudea.
Then fear came upon all who dwelt around them, and in the entire hill country of Judea all these things were being discussed.
66 Na bhoha bhabhap'eliki bhaghatunzili mu mioyo ghya bhene, bhakajobha, “Muana ojho kujha ghwa namna jheleku?” kwandabha kibhoko kya Bwana kyajhele pamonga naku.
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 Dadimunu Zekaria amemesibhu ni Roho mtakatifu na ahomisi unabii, akajobha,
Then Zechariah, the child's father, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
68 “Asifibhwayi Bwana, k'yara ghwa Israeli, kwandabha asaidili na ashughulikili wokovu bhwa bhanu bha muene.
“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited his people and brought them redemption.
69 Atujhimelili pembe jha wokovu mu nyumba jha mtumishi bhwa muene Daudi, kuh'oma miongoni mwa mtumishi bhwa muene 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 Ibeta kutuokola kuhoma kwa bhaadui bhitu ni kuhoma mumabhoko gha bhoha bha bhatudadili.
salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us—
72 Ibeta kubhomba naha kulasya rehema kwa Dadi jhitu ni kukhomboka agano lya muene takatifu,
to deal mercifully with our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,
73 Kiapo kyaajobhili kwa Abrahamu Dadi jhitu.
the oath he swore to Abraham our father, to grant us
74 Alapili kuthibitisya kwamba ngajhibhwesekene kun'tumikila muene bila bhuogha baada jha kuokolebhwa kuhoma mu mabhoko jha maadui bhitu.
that we, having been rescued from the hands of our enemies, might serve him without fear,
75 Mu utakatifu ni haki palongolo pa tete magono ghitu ghoha.
in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our lives.
76 Ena, ni nabii ghwa ajhele panani sana, kwa kujha wibetakulota palongolo pa mihu pa Bwana ili kubhajhendalila njela, kubhaandala bhanu kwa ndabha jha ujio bhwa muene,
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 kujha bhibeta kuokolibhwa kwa njela jha kusamehebhwa dhambi sya bhene.
to give his people knowledge of salvation through the remission of their sins,
78 Ele libeta kuhomela kwa ndabha jha huruma jha k'yara ghwitu, sababu ambajho lijobha kuhomela kunani libeta kutu hidila,
through the tender mercy of our God, by which the sunrise has visited us from on high,
79 Kajhangasya kwa bhene bhabhitama mu ngisi ni mu kivuli kya mauti. Ibeta kubhomba naha kujhilongosya magolo ghitu ku njela jha amani.”
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 Henu, muana jhola akakhola ni kujha mwenye nghofu mu roho na atamili nyikani mpaka ligono lya kwitokesya kwa muene kwa Israeli.
And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
