Luka 1
1 Vangi vachi vava liki ku vika i nswanelo lye kande lyezo indava zichi zive zuzilizwa mukati ketu,
For as moche as many have take in hand to compyle a treates of thoo thinges which are surely knowen amonge vs
2 uvu vo vulyo mu vava zituheli mi avo kuzwila ku matangizo ivali impanki ni vahikana ve ñusa.
even as they declared them vnto vs which from the beginnynge sawe them their selves and were ministers at the doyng:
3 Cwale kwangu name ivali kuvoneka kuva hande - kuganisisa hande inzila ye indava yezo zintu kuzwila kuma tangizo - kuñola indava ye nswanelo yako iwe, Theophilus yo sepahala.
I determined also assone as I had searched out diligently all thinges from the beginnynge that then I wolde wryte vnto the good Theophilus:
4 Ili ku pangila kuti mwi zive vuniti vwezo zintu zimu va lutwa.
that thou myghtest knowe the certente of thoo thinges wher of thou arte informed.
5 Muma zuva a Heroda, simwine wa Judeya ku vali kwina mu purisita we zina lya Zakariya, ya vali kuzwa kwi inkauhanyo ya Abija. Mwi hyavwe avali kuzwa kuvana vechi kazana va Arunì, Izina lyakwe ivali nji Elizabeta.
There was in the dayes of Herode kynge of Iurie a certayne prest named Zacharias of ye course of Abia. And his wyfe was of ye doughters of Aaron: And her name was Elizabeth.
6 Vonse vo vele vava shieme ha vusu vwa Ireza, ku kuteka zonse intaezo za Simwine.
Booth were perfect before God and walked in all the lawes and ordinaces of the Lorde that no man coulde fynde fawte with them.
7 Kono kana vavena mwana kakuli Elizabeta kana vena luzalo, mi hape vonse chi vava supele ahulu he iyi inako.
And they had no chylde because that Elizabeth was barre and booth were well stricken in age.
8 Mi kuvezi kuchita kuti Zakaria avena mukwina kwa Ireza, kwi chilila ni kupanga iyo mintendo yovu purisita yava hewa mwi nswanelo ye inkauhanyo ya kwe.
And it cam to passe as he executed the prestes office before god as his course came
9 Kuya ke chizo choku keta kuti njo zuhi mu purisita yese a tende, ava ketwa kwa loto kuti e njile mwi tempele ya Simwine kuti a hise minunkiso.
(accordinge to the custome of the prestes office) his lot was to bourne incece.
10 Chonse chichava cha vantu chiva kwete ku lapela hanze heyo inako minunkiso iva hiswa.
And wet into ye teple of ye Lorde and the whoale multitude of ye people were with out in prayer whill the incense was aburnynge.
11 Mi iñiloi lya Simwine livezi kuvoneka ha vusu vwake ni ku zimana ku vulyo vwe alutare ye minunkiso.
And ther appered vnto him an angell of the lorde stondinge on the ryght syde of the altare of incense.
12 Zakaria ha muvona, ava tilimuki mi lyowa livezi hali.
And when Zacharias sawe him he was abasshed and feare came on him.
13 Kono i ñiloi chi lya ti kwali, “sanzi uvi ni lyowa, Zakaria, kakuti intapelo yako iva tekwa. Mwi hyenu Elizabeta mwa pepe mwana o mwisisu. Kamu sumpe izina lyakwe Johani.
And the angell sayde vnto him: feare not Zachary for thy prayer is hearde: And thy wyfe Elizabeth shall beare ye a sonne and thou shalt call his name Iohn
14 Ka muve ni ntabo ni kusanga, mi vangi vese va sangilile he mpepo yakwe.
and thou shalt have ioye and gladnes and many shall reioyce at his birth.
15 Kakuli mwave muntu mukando mu menso a Simwine. Sanzi na nywi i waine kapa zinywiwa zi kolete, mi mwe zule ni Luhuho lu Jolola ku zwilila mwi vumo li ba nyina.
For he shalbe greate in the sight of the lorde and shall nether drinke wyne ner stronge drinke. And he shalbe filled with the holy goost even in his mothers wombe:
16 Mi vantu vangi va Isiraele kava sandulwe kwali Simwine wavo Ireza.
and many of the chyldren of Israel shall he tourne to their Lorde God.
17 Mwa yende havusu bwe chifateho cha Simwine muluhuho ni ziho za Eliya. Mwa pange vovuti kupangila kuti a sandule inkulo za bashemi ve chikwame ku vana, ku pangila kuti vasa kuteki kava yende mu vutali vwa vantu va lukite - ku litukiseza kwa Simwine vantu valukisezwe iye.
And he shall goo before him in the sprete and power of Helyas to tourne the hertes of the fathers to the chyldren and the vnbelevers to the wysdom of the iuste men: to make the people redy for the Lorde.
18 Zakariya cha wamba kwi ñiloi, “Ni wola kuzi ziva vule izi? kakuli chili ni Mukwame yo supele mi ni mwihyetu naye cho supele ahulu.
And Zacharias sayde vnto ye angell: Wher by shall I knowe this? seinge that I am olde and my wyfe well stricken in yeares.
19 Mi iñiloi chila mwi taba ni ku wamba kwali, “njime Gaburiyele yo zimene mwikwina Ireza.”Nivaka tumwa ku kwiza kuwamba nawe, kukuletela aa makande ma lotu.
And the angell answered and sayde vnto him: I am Gabriell that stonde in the presens of God and am sent to speake vnto the: and to shewe the these glad tydinges.
20 “Cwale uvone, mo tontole, kese uwole kuwamba heisi izuva izi zintu hese nizi pangahale. Ichi nji kuti kana uva zumini manzwi angu, ese e zuzilizwe he nako i swanezi.
And beholde thou shalt be domme and not able to speake vntyll the tyme that these thinges be performed because thou belevedst not my wordes which shalbe fulfilled in their season.
21 Cwale vantu vava lindile Zakariya. Vava komeketwe kakuli avali kwi kele inako ingi mwi tempele.
And the people wayted for Zacharias and mervelled that he taryed in the temple.
22 Kono haka zwa mo, kana vali ku wola ku wamba navo. Chiva bonisisa kuti ava voni i pono havali kwina mwi tempele. Ava zwili ku panga zi supo kuvali na shele u tontwele.
And whe he cam oute he could not speake vnto them. Wherby they perceaved that he had sene some vision in the temple. And he beckened vnto them and remayned speachlesse.
23 Ku vezi kuva kuti mazuva akwe oku tenda ha amana, cha yenda kwi nzuvo yakwe.
And it fortuned assone as ye tyme of his office was oute he departed home into his awne housse.
24 Kuzwa aa mazuva, mwi hyavwe Elizabeta ava hi menzi ma hya. Avali zwisi ku vantu ka mwezi i hinda iyanza. Cha wamba,
And after thoose dayes his wyfe Elizabeth coceaved and hyd her sylfe. v. monethes sayinge:
25 “Izi za vani pangili Simwine ha vani loli ni chishemo ku pangila kuti a zwise maswavisisa angu ha vusu bwa bantu.”
This wyse hath God dealte wt me in ye dayes when he loked on me to take from me the rebuke yt I suffred amonge men.
26 Mu Mwezi we yanza ni kamwina, I ñiloi Gaburiyele liba tumwa ku zwa kwa Ireza kwi tolopo mwa Galileya i sumpwa Nazareta,
And in ye. vi. moneth ye angell Gabriel was sent fro god vnto a cite of Galile named Nazareth
27 kwa kamwale yaba vikilizwe ku mukwame we zina lya Josefa. A vali ku wila ku luzuvo lwa Davida, kamwale izina lyakwe i vali nji Maria.
to a virgin spoused to a man whose name was Ioseph of ye housse of David and ye virgins name was Mary.
28 Cheza kwali ni kuwamba, “Lumele, iwe yo shemuvitwe ahulu, Simwine wina nawe.”
And ye angell went in vnto her and sayde: Hayle full of grace ye Lorde is with ye: blessed arte thou amonge wemen.
29 Kono ava lyangene ahulu cha manzwi akwe, ava hupuli kuti iwola kuva mulumelisezo nzi uwu.
When she sawe him she was abasshed at his sayinge: and cast in her mynde what maner of salutacion yt shuld be.
30 Iñiloi chila wamba kwali, “Sanzi utiyi, Maria kakuli cho va wani chishemo ni Ireza.”
And ye angell sayde vnto her: feare not Mary: for thou hast founde grace wt god.
31 Mi u vwene, mo pange mwana mwi vumo mi mo pepe muswisu. Mo sumpe izina lyakwe “Jesu.”
Loo: thou shalt coceave in thy wombe and shalt beare a sonne and shalt call his name Iesus.
32 Mwa ve mukando mi mwa sumpwe kuti Mwana wa Sikwiwulu. Simwine Ireza mwa muhe chipula chavu simwine chika zwilila ku vasikulwe vave sikulwe Davida.
He shalbe greate and shalbe called the sonne of the hyest. And ye lorde God shall geve vnto him the seate of his father David
and he shall raygne over ye housse of Iacob forever and of his kyngdome shalbe none ende. (aiōn g165)
34 Maria cha wamba kwi ñiloi, “Kai pangahale vule, kuvona kanini ku kopana ni mukwame?”,
Then sayd Mary vnto ye angell: How shall this be seinge I knowe not a man?
35 Iñiloi chilye tava niku wamba kwali, Luhuho Lujolola ka lwize hako, miziho za Sikwiwulu ka zize hako. Cwale iye uzo yo jolola yenke yese apepwe mwa sumpwe Mwana wa Ireza.
And ye angell answered and sayd vnto her: The holy goost shall come apon the and ye power of ye hyest shall over shaddowe ye. Therfore also yt holy thinge which shalbe borne shalbe called ye sonne of god.
36 Mi ubwene, mukwako Elizabeta naye aba pepi mwana o muswisu mu busupali. Uwu mwezi we yanza ni konke wali, uzo yabali kusumpwa kusa pepa.
And beholde thy cosen Elizabeth she hath also conceaved a sonne in her age. And this is hyr sixte moneth though she be called barren:
37 Kakuli kakwina chese nichi sa woleki ni Ireza.
for wt god can nothinge be vnpossible.
38 Maria chati “ubwene, ni muhikana wo mwanakazana wa Simwine.” Kuve vulyo kwangu kakuya che ñusa lyako. Mi iñiloi chilya musiya.
And Mary sayd: beholde ye honde mayden of ye lorde be it vnto me even as thou hast sayde. And the angell departed from her.
39 Linu Maria ava vuki mwa awo mazuba, mi cha hwelela kuya kwi nkanda ye ziwulu, kwi tolopo mwa Judeya.
And Mary arose in thoose dayes and went into ye mountayns wt hast into a cite of Iurie
40 Ava yendi mwi nzuvo ya Zakariya mi chaka lumelisa Elizabeta.
and entred into the housse of zachary and saluted Elizabeth.
41 Cwale kuva pangahali kuti Elizabeta ha zuwa mulumelisezo wa Maria, mbumbu mwi vumo lyakwe ava shili, mi Elizabeta ave zulwa Luhuho lu Jolola.
And it fortuned as Elizabeth hearde ye salutacion of Mary the babe spronge in her belly. And Elizabeth was filled with the holy goost
42 Cha koza inzwi lyakwe ni kuwamba kaku huwa “Iwe njo fwiyoletwe mukati kavanakazi, mi ni muselo we vumo lyako ufuyoletwe.”
and cryed with a loude voyce and sayde: Blessed arte thou amonge wemen and blessed is the frute of thy wombe.
43 Mi chinzi hayi va pangahali kwangu kuti vanyina va Simwine wangu va swanela kwiza kwangu?
And whence hapeneth this to me that the mother of my Lorde shuld come to me?
44 Mu vwene, mulumo we ntumeliso zako ha ziza ku matwi angu, mbumbu yo wina mwi vumo lyangu ava shili nche intabo.
For loo assone as the voyce of thy salutacion sownded in myne eares the babe sprange in my belly for ioye.
45 Mi uzo u fwiyoletwe yaba zumini kuti ka kuve ni kwizuzilizwa kwezo zintu ziva wambwa kwali ku zwilila kwa Simwine.
And blessed arte thou that belevedst: for thoose thinges shalbe performed wich were tolde ye from the lorde.
46 Maria cha wamba, “Luhuho lwangu lu temba Simwine”,
And Mary sayde. My soule magnifieth the Lorde.
47 mi luhuho lwangu lusanga mwe Ireza mutusi wangu.
And my sprete reioyseth in god my savioure
48 Chaba loli ha mazimo avolele hansi a muhikana wakwe wo mwanakazana. Cwale mu vone, ku zwila hahanu onse masika ka a nisumpe kuti ni fwiyoletwe.
For he hath loked on the povre degre of his honde mayde. Beholde now from hence forth shall all generacions call me blessed.
49 Kakuli iye yo wina ziho chavani pangili zintu zikando mi izina lyakwe li jolola.
For he that is myghty hath done to me greate thinges and holye is his name.
50 Chishemo chakwe chikalilile ku mahasi ni mahasi kwabo vamu tiya.
And his mercy is on them that feare him thorow oute all generacions.
51 Chava tondezi ziho zakwe kache yanza: chaba hasani avo vavali kulikumuseza mihupulo ye nkulo zavo.
He sheweth strength with his arme he scattereth them that are proude in the ymaginacion of their hertes.
52 Chava soheli hansi vaana vavene simwine vechi kwame ha vuyendisi vwavo. mi chava nyamuni avo ba mazimo mavi.
He putteth doune the myghty from their seates and exalteth them of lowe degre.
53 Chave zuzi avo va fwile inzala ni zintu zilotu, kono va humite avava tumini kule niva sena chintu.
He filleth the hongry with good thinges: and sendeth awaye the ryche emptye.
54 Chava hi intuso kwa Isiraele muhikana wakwe, kupangila ku hupula ku tondeza chishemo
He remenbreth mercy: and helpeth his servaunt Israel.
Even as he promised to oure fathers Abraham and to his seede for ever. (aiōn g165)
56 Maria ave kali ni Elizabeta ka miezi yo tatwe mi cha volela kwi nzuvo yakwe.
And mary aboode with hyr aboute a. iii. monethes and retourned agayne to hyr awne housse.
57 Hanu inako chi iva sikite ya Elizabeta kuti ahwizumuke muchiche mi ava pepi mwanaswisu.
Elizabethes tyme was come that she shuld be delyvered and she brought forth a sonne.
58 Va vambene naye niva kwakwe vava zuwi kuti Simwine ava mutondenzi chishemo chakwe chikando kwali mi vava sangi naye.
And her neghboures and her cosins hearde tell how the lorde had shewed great mercy vpon her and they reioysed with her.
59 Hanu kuvezi kupangahala he zuva li hinda iyanza ni to tatwe vava kezi njeva muchite mupato muchiche. Ni vava musumpi “Zakariya,” ku zwila izina li vesi.
And it fortuned ye eyght daye: they cam to circumcise the chylde: and called his name zacharias after the name of his father.
60 Kono va nyina chive tava ni kuwamba “Ne, mwa sumpwe Johani.”
How be it his mother answered and sayd: not so but he shalbe called Ihon.
61 Chiva wamba kwali, “kakwina yenke mukati kava mwenu yo sumpwa keli zina.”
And they sayd vnto hyr: Ther is none of thy kynne that is named wt this name.
62 Vava pangi zi supo kuvesi kupangila kuti vesi ve zive muvavali kusakila kuti a hewe izina.
And they made signes to his father how he wolde have him called.
63 Vesi chiba kumbila chiñolelo mi chiva ñola, “izina lyakwe nji Johani”. Vonse vava komokwa.
And he axed for wrytynge tables and wroote saying: his name is Iohn. And they marvelled all.
64 Haho vulyo kaholo kakwe kave yalulwa mi lulimi lwake luva lukululwa. Ava wambi niku lumba Ireza.
And his mouthe was opened immediatly and his tonge also and he spake lawdynge God.
65 Lyowa livezi havo vavali kwi kala muma bali avo. Zonse izi zintu ziva twala monse mwi inkanda za ziwulu za Judeya.
And feare came on all the that dwelt nye vnto them. And all these sayinges were noysed abroade throughout all ye hyll coutre of Iurie
66 Mi vonse vava vazuwi vava ziviki mwi nkulo zavo, kuwamba, “cwale uzu muhwile mwave chi?” Kakuli iyanza lya Simwine livena naye.
and all they yt herde the layde them vp in their hertes saying: What maner chylde shall this be? And the honde of ye lorde was with him.
67 Vesi Zakariya ave zwile ni Luhuho lu Jolola mi cha polofita, kuwamba,
And his father zacharias was filled with the holy goost and prophisyed sayinge:
68 “Simwine a lumbwe, Ireza wa Isiraele, kakuli avezi kwiza ku tusa mi ava kwanisi kuvozekezwa kwa bantu bakwe”
Blessed be the Lorde God of Israel for he hath visited and redemed his people.
69 Chava tuzimikili luziya lwo kuhaza mwi nzuvo yo muhikana wakwe Davida,
And hath reysed vp an horne of salvacion vnto vs in the housse of his servaunt David.
Even as he promised by ye mouth of his holy prophetes which were sens ye worlde began (aiōn g165)
71 Mwa lete vu hazo vuzwilila ku zila zetu mi ni ku mayanza avo batu toyete.
That we shuld be saved from oure enemies and from the hondis of all that hate vs:
72 Mwa pange vovuti ku totendeza chishemo chakwe ku veshetu mi ni ku hupula ku jolola kwe ntumelelano yakwe,
To fulfill the mercy promised to oure fathers and to remember his holy covenaunt.
73 ku lisumina kwava wambi kwa Aburahama ishe etu.
And to performe the oothe which he sware to oure father Adraham
74 Ava sepisi kutuha kakuli tuba zwiswa muma yanza e zila zetu, katu mutendele niku sena lyowa,
for to geve vs. That we delyvered oute of ye hondes of oure enemyes myght serve him with oute feare
75 muku jolola ni muku shiama ha vusu bwake onse mazuva etu.
all the dayes of oure lyfe in suche holynes and ryghtewesnes that are accept before him.
76 Eni, nawe, mwana, mo sumpwe mupolofita wa Isiwulu, kakuti moye ha vusu bwe chifateho cha Simwine kuli tukisa inzila zakwe, ku lukisa bantu cha kukeza kwakwe,
And thou chylde shalt be called the Prophet of the hyest: for thou shalt goo before the face of the lorde to prepare his wayes:
77 kwiza kuha inzivo yo kuhazwa ku vantu vakwe kaku swalelwa kwa zivi zavo.
And to geve knowlege of salvacion vnto his people for the remission of synnes:
78 Ichi kachi pangahale bakeñisa chishemo cha Ireza wetu, bakeñisa ke zuva lizwa kule lyese lize kuku tutusa.
Through the tender mercy of oure God wherby the daye springe from an hye hath visited vs.
79 Ku venya havo ve kele mwi fifi navo vena mu munzunde we fu. Mwa pange vovuti kutondeza matende etu mwi nzila ye nkozo.
To geve light to the that sate in darcknes and in shadowe of deth and to gyde oure fete into the waye of peace.
80 Hanu mwana ava kuli niku kola mu luhuho, mi avena mumu zuka heisi izuva hali vonekisa kwa Isiraele.
And the chylde grew and wexed stronge in sprete and was in wyldernes tyll the daye cam when he shuld shewe him sylfe vnto the Israhelites.
