Luke 1
1 Nu sum, Theophilus, su fal in akfulatyeyuk: Pus mwet ma arulana oaru in orani ac simusla ma su sikyak inmasrlosr.
Inasmuch as many have undertaken to arrange a narrative of those things which are fully believed among us,
2 Elos simusla ma su fwackme nu sesr sin mwet ma sifacna liye ma inge ac sulkakinelik ke tufahna mutawauk me.
even as they were delivered to us by those who were eye-witnesses from the beginning and became ministers of the word,
3 Ke ma inge, leum fulat luk, ke sripen nga liksreni na lohang in lutlut ke ma inge ke mutawauk me, nga sifacna nunku mu ac wona ngan takunla nu sum ma sikyak uh.
it seemed good to me also, having accurately traced up all things from the first, to write to thee a connected account, most excellent Theophilus,
4 Nga oru ma inge kom in mau etu na pwaye ke ma nukewa ma lutiyuk kom kac.
that thou mightst know the exact truth with regard to those things in which thou wast instructed.
5 In pacl se ma Herod el tuh tokosra in acn Judea, tuh oasr mwet tol se pangpang Zechariah, su ma in u lal Abijah, mwet tol. Mutan kial ah pa Elizabeth, su ma in fwilin tulik natul Aaron, mwet tol.
There was in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zachariah, of the course of Abijah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
6 Eltal kewa moulkin moul na suwohs ye mutun God, ac arulana oaru in akos ma sap ac oakwuk nukewa lun Leum God.
And they were both righteous in the sight of God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7 Wangin tulik natultal, mweyen Elizabeth el tia ku in orek tulik, ac el ac Zechariah tukenina matuoh.
And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both far advanced in years.
8 Sie len ah Zechariah el oru orekma in tol lal ke sun pacl lun u lal in kulansap in Tempul.
And it came to pass, that, while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his course,
9 In oana oakwuk nu sin mwet tol uh, srisrngiyuki ke fa mu ac ma kunal in akosak mwe keng fin loang uh. Ouinge el utyak nu in Tempul lun Leum God,
according to the custom of the priesthood the lot fell to him to go into the temple of the Lord and burn the incense.
10 ac mwet puspis elos pre likinum uh ke ao in kisa mwe keng uh.
And the whole multitude of the people was praying without at the time of the incense.
11 Sie lipufan lun Leum God sikyang nu sel, ac tu layen layot ke loang uh, yen mwe keng uh akokyak we.
And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right of the altar of incense.
12 Ke Zechariah el liyalak el arulana lut ac sangengla.
And Zachariah was troubled at the sight, and fear fell upon him.
13 Na lipufan sac fahk nu sel, “Zechariah, nimet sangeng. God El lohng pre lom. Elizabeth, mutan kiom, el ac fah oswela sie wen nutum. Kom ac fah sang inel John.
But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zachariah; for thy prayer was heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name John.
14 Kom ac fah arulana engan, ac mwet puspis ac fah wi pac engan ke el ac isusla.
And thou wilt have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice for his birth.
15 El ac fah sie mwet saok ye mutun Leum God. El ac fah tia nim wain, ku kutena mwe nim ku. El ac fah sesseslana ke Ngun Mutal, mutawauk ke el isusla me,
For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; and will drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from his very birth.
16 ac el ac fah forokla mwet puspis sin mwet Israel nu sin Leum God lalos.
And many of the sons of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God.
17 El ac fah fahsr meet liki Leum God, ke ngunin ku lal Elijah, mwet palu. El ac fah akwoyela inmasrlon papa ac tulik uh; el ac fah oru tuh mwet seakos in sifil nunak oana mwet suwoswos; el ac fah oru tuh mwet lun Leum God in akola nu sel.”
And he will go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a prepared people.
18 Na Zechariah el fahk nu sin lipufan sac, “Nga ac etu fuka lah ac ouingan? Nga matuoh, ac mutan kiuk uh matuoh pac.”
And Zachariah said to the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is far advanced in years.
19 Na lipufan sac fahk, “Nga pa Gabriel. Nga tu ye mutun God, su supweyume in tuh kaskas nu sum, ac fahkot pweng wo se inge nu sum.
And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to thee, and to tell thee these glad tidings.
20 Tusruktu kom tia lulalfongi kas luk, su ac fah akpwayeiyuk in pacl fal. Ke sripen selulalfongi lom, kom ac fah tia ku in sramsram. Kom ac mutana tia kaskas nwe ke na akpwayeiyuk ma nga fahk nu sum inge.”
And lo! thou shalt be silent, and not able to speak, until the day when these things shall come to pass, because thou didst not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their season.
21 In pacl se inge, mwet uh mutana soanel Zechariah, ac suk lah efu ku el utyak arulana pahtlac in Tempul.
And the people were looking for Zachariah, and wondering that he remained so long in the temple.
22 Ke el oatula, el tia ku in kaskas nu selos, ouinge elos akilen mu el liye sie aruruma in Tempul. Ke el tia ku in kaskas nu selos, el orekmakin na paol ac srisrsrisr nu selos.
And on coming out, he was not able to speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he was beckoning to them, and remained speechless.
23 Ke safla pacl in kulansap lal Zechariah in Tempul uh, el folokla nu lohm sel ah.
And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were completed, that he returned to his house.
24 Tia paht toko, Elizabeth, mutan kial, el pitutuyak ac tiana illa liki lohm sel ke malem limekosr.
And after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
25 Ac el fahk, “Inge nga etu tuh Leum God El kasreyu. El eisla mwekin luk likiyu ye mutun mwet uh.”
Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me to take away my reproach among men.
26 Ke Elizabeth el pitutu malem onkosr, God El supwalla lipufan Gabriel nu in siti srisrik se in acn Galilee pangpang Nazareth.
And in her sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
27 Oasr sap soko el us nu sin sie mutan fusr virgin, su ako in payuk nu sin mukul se pangpang Joseph, su ma in fwilin tulik natul Tokosra David. Inen mutan fusr sac pa Mary.
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 Lipufan sac tuku nu yorol ac fahk, “Paing kom! Leum God El wi kom, ac El arulana akinsewowoye kom!”
And the angel came in to her and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored! the Lord is with thee.
29 Mary el arulana fohsak ke kas lun lipufan sac, ac el suk na lah mea kalmen ma el fahk uh.
And she was troubled at the words, and was considering what this salutation could mean.
30 Na lipufan sac fahk nu sel, “Mary, nikmet sangeng, tuh kom ohi yurin God.
And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favor with God.
31 Kom ac fah pitutuyak ac oswela sie wen, ac kom fah sang inel Jesus.
And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and hear a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
32 El ac fah arulana fulat — ac fah pangpang el Wen nutin God Fulatlana. Leum God El ac fah oru tuh elan sie tokosra oana David, papa matu tumal,
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of David his father;
33 ac el ac fah leum fin fwilin tulik natul Jacob nwe tok. Tokosrai lal ac fah wangin saflaiya!” (aiōn g165)
and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
34 Na Mary el fahk nu sin lipufan sac, “Ma inge ac sikyak fuka, ke nga soenna etu mwet?”
Then said Mary to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?
35 Ac lipufan sac topuk ac fahk, “Ngun Mutal ac fah tuku nu fom, ac ku lun God ac fah oan fom. Ke sripa se inge, wen mutal se inge ac fah pangpang Wen nutin God.
And the angel answering said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee; wherefore the holy one that is to be born will be called the Son of God.
36 Esamul Elizabeth, sie nina in sou lom an. Tuh fwack mu el tia ku in isus, a inge el pitutu malem onkosr lac, el finne arulana matuoh.
And lo! Elizabeth, thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren.
37 Mweyen wangin ma God El kofla in oru.”
For nothing will be impossible with God.
38 Na Mary el fahk, “Nga mwet kulansap lun Leum God. Lela ma inge in orek nu sik oana ke kom fahk.” Na lipufan sac som lukel.
And Mary said, Lo, the handmaid of the Lord! May it be to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
39 Tiana paht tukun ma inge, Mary el akola ac sulaklak na som nu in sie siti srisrik inmasrlon eol in acn Judea.
And Mary arose and went in those days into the hill-country with haste, into a city of Judah.
40 El utyak nu in lohm sel Zechariah ac paingul Elizabeth.
And she entered the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
41 Ke pacl se Elizabeth el lohng kusen paing lal Mary, tulik se insial ah mokuikui, ac Elizabeth el sesseslana ke Ngun Mutal,
And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
42 ac fahk nu sel Mary ke pusra lulap, “Kom pa insewowo emeet sin mutan nukewa uh, ac insewowo tulik se su kom ac oswela an!
and cried out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women; and blessed is the fruit of thy womb!
43 Efu ku ouiya na yohk se inge in sikyak nu sik, tuh nina kien Leum luk in tuku nu yuruk?
And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Ke pacl se na nga lohngak ke kom paingyu ah, tulik se insiuk inge srosro ke engan.
For lo! as soon as the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, the babe leaped in my womb in exultation.
45 Fuka lupan insewowo lom ke kom lulalfongi lah kas lun Leum God nu sum ac fah akpwayeyuk!”
And blessed is she who hath believed that there will be an accomplishment of those things which were told her from the Lord.
46 Mary el fahk, “Insiuk kaksakin Leum God;
And Mary said, My soul magnifieth the Lord,
47 Ngunik engan ke sripen God, Mwet Lango luk,
and my spirit hath exulted in God my Saviour;
48 Tuh El esamyu, mutan kulansap pusisel lal! Ingela mwet in fwil nukewa ac fah pangonyu insewowo,
for he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaiden. For lo! from this time all generations will call me blessed;
49 Ke sripen orekma yohk su God Kulana El oru nu sik. Inel mutallana;
for the Mighty One hath done great things for me; and holy is his name;
50 Liki fwil nu ke fwil El akkalemye pakoten lal nu selos su sunakunul.
and his mercy is from generation to generation on them that fear him.
51 El asroela po kulana lal, Ac kunauselik pwapa lun mwet inse fulat.
He hath wrought mightily with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the device of their heart.
52 El akpusiselye tokosra kulana liki tron lalos, Ac El akfulatye mwet pusisel.
He hath cast down princes from thrones, and exalted men of low degree.
53 El akkihpye mwet masrinsral ke ma wo, Ac supwalik mwet kasrup uh pisinpo.
The hungry he hath filled with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty.
54 El sruokyana wulela lal nu sin mwet matu lasr, Ac tuku in kasru Israel, mwet kulansap lal.
He hath given help to Israel his servant, in remembrance of his mercy
55 El esam in akkalemye pakoten lal nu sel Abraham Ac fwilin tulik nukewa natul nwe tok!” (aiōn g165)
toward Abraham and his offspring for ever, as he spoke to our fathers. (aiōn g165)
56 Mary el muta yorol Elizabeth malem tolu, na el folokla nu yen sel.
And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
57 Sun pacl lal Elizabeth in isusla, ac el oswela sie wen.
Now Elizabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
58 Mwet tulan lal ac sou lal lohngak lah Leum God El arulana akinsewowoyal, ac elos welul engan.
And her neighbors and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had showed great mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her.
59 Ke tulik sac el sun len oalkosr matwal, elos tuku in tuh kosreyukla el, ac elos akoo in sang inel Zechariah, in folokin inen papa tumal ah.
And it came to pass that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they were about to call him Zachariah, after the name of his father.
60 Tusruktu nina kial ah fahk mu, “Mo! Inel pa John.”
And his mother answering said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
61 Ac elos fahk nu sel, “Wangin sou lom ma us ine sacn!”
And they said to her, There is no one of thy kindred that is called by this name.
62 Na elos kaskas srisrsrisr nu sin papa tumal ac siyuk sel lah ac su inen tulik sac.
And they made signs to his father, how he would have him named.
63 Zechariah el siyuk sie ma elan sim kac, ac el simusla mu, “Inel pa John.” Elos nukewa arulana lut.
And he asked for a writing-tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled.
64 In pacl sacna Zechariah el sifilpa ku in kaskas, ac el mutawauk in kaksakin God.
And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue was loosed; and he spoke, blessing God.
65 Mwet tulan lalos nukewa arulana sangeng, ac pungen ma inge fahsrelik nu infulan eol nukewa in acn Judea.
And fear came on all that dwelt around them; and all these things were talked of throughout the whole of the hill-country of Judaea.
66 Mwet nukewa su lohng ke ma inge elos nunku kac ac siyuk, “Tulik se inge fin kapak el ac mau mwet fuka se?” Mweyen kalem na lah ku lun God oan facl.
And all that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What then will this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 Zechariah, papa tumal John, el sessesla ke Ngun Mutal, ac el fahkak kas inge sin God me:
And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
68 “Lela kut in kaksakin Leum God lun Israel! El tuku tari in kasru mwet lal ac aksukosokyalosla.
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel! for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
69 El ase nu sesr sie Mwet Lango kulana, Sie sin fwilin tulik natul David, mwet kulansap lal.
and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant, —
as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets of old, (aiōn g165)
71 El ac molikutla liki mwet lokoalok lasr, Liki ku lalos nukewa su kwase kut.
salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
72 El tuh fahk mu El ac akkalemye pakoten lal nu sin mwet matu lasr somla, Ac esam pac wulela mutal lal.
to accomplish his mercy toward our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
73 Ke sie wulela oa su El orala nu sel Abraham, papa matu tumasr, El wuleang in
the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
74 Tulekutla liki inpoun mwet lokoalok lasr, Tuh kut in kulansupwal ac tia sangeng,
to grant to us, that being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we might worship him without fear,
75 Ac tuh kut in mutal ac suwoswos ye mutal Ke lusenna moul lasr.
in holiness and righteousness before him, all our days.
76 “Wen nutik, ac fah pangpang kom mwet palu lun God Fulatlana. Kom ac fah fahsr meet liki Leum In akoela inkanek lal,
And thou, child, shalt be called a prophet of the Most High; for thou shalt go in advance before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,
77 In fahkak nu sin mwet lal lah elos ac fah moliyukla Mweyen El ac nunak munas nu selos ke ma koluk lalos.
to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins
78 God lasr El pakoten ac mongfisrasr. El ac fah oru tuh kalmen molela lal in takak ac srekuti,
through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us,
79 Ac in tololosyak nukewa su muta in lohsr ac ngunin misa, In kol niasr nu ke inkanek lun misla.”
to give light to those sitting in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
80 Tulik sac kapak ac kui in manol ac in ngunal. El muta yen mwesis nwe ke pacl se el sikyang nu sin mwet Israel.
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit; and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.
