Lukka 1
1 Abantu bangi bagezezzaako okuwandiika ebyafaayo ebyatuukirizibwa mu ffe,
For as moche as many have take in hand to compyle a treates of thoo thinges which are surely knowen amonge vs
2 ng’abo abaasooka edda bwe baabitubuulira, nga be baali abajulirwa era abaweereza b’Ekigambo okuviira ddala ku lubereberye.
even as they declared them vnto vs which from the beginnynge sawe them their selves and were ministers at the doyng:
3 Bwe ntyo bwe mmaze okukakasiza ddala buli kintu n’obwegendereza okuva ku by’olubereberye okutuukira ddala ku byasembayo, ne ndaba nga kirungi okukuwandiikira ggwe Teefiro ow’ekitiibwa ennyo, ndyoke mbikuwandiikire nga bwe byaliraanagana.
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 Olyoke omanye amazima g’ebyo bye wayigirizibwa.
that thou myghtest knowe the certente of thoo thinges wher of thou arte informed.
5 Awo mu biro Kabaka Kerode we yafugira Obuyudaaya, waaliwo kabona erinnya lye Zaakaliya, nga wa mu kitongole kya Abiya, nga mukyala we naye yali wa mu kika kya Alooni, erinnya lye Erisabesi.
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 Abantu abo bombi baali batuukirivu mu maaso ga Katonda, era nga batambulira mu mateeka ga Katonda gonna, ne mu biragiro bya Mukama, nga tebaliiko kya kunenyezebwa.
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 Bombi baali bakaddiye nnyo, era tebaalina mwana, kubanga Erisabesi yali mugumba.
And they had no chylde because that Elizabeth was barre and booth were well stricken in age.
8 Awo lwali lumu, Zaakaliya bwe yali ng’ali ku mulimu gwe ogw’obwakabona mu maaso ga Katonda, kubanga kye kyali ekiseera eky’oluwalo lwe,
And it cam to passe as he executed the prestes office before god as his course came
9 n’alondebwa okwoteza obubaane mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, ng’emirimu gy’obwakabona bwe gyabanga.
(accordinge to the custome of the prestes office) his lot was to bourne incece.
10 Mu ssaawa eyo ey’okwoteza obubaane ekibiina kyonna eky’abantu baali bakuŋŋaanidde mu luggya lwa Yeekaalu.
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 Awo malayika wa Mukama n’alabikira Zaakaliya, n’ayimirira ku luuyi olwa ddyo olw’ekyoto okwoterezebwa obubaane!
And ther appered vnto him an angell of the lorde stondinge on the ryght syde of the altare of incense.
12 Zaakaliya n’atya nnyo bwe yalaba malayika, entiisa n’emukwata.
And when Zacharias sawe him he was abasshed and feare came on him.
13 Naye malayika n’amugamba nti, “Totya Zaakaliya! Kubanga okusaba kwo kuwuliddwa, era mukazi wo Erisabesi ajja kukuzaalira omwana wabulenzi. Olimutuuma erinnya Yokaana.
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 Mwembi mulisanyuka nnyo ne mujaguza. Era bangi abalibasanyukirako olw’okuzaalibwa kwe.
and thou shalt have ioye and gladnes and many shall reioyce at his birth.
15 Kubanga aliba mukulu mu maaso ga Katonda. Talinywa mwenge wadde ekitamiiza kyonna. Era alijjuzibwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu ng’akyali mu lubuto lwa nnyina.
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 Era alireetera abaana ba Isirayiri bangi okudda eri Mukama Katonda waabwe.
and many of the chyldren of Israel shall he tourne to their Lorde God.
17 Aliweerereza mu mwoyo ne mu maanyi aga nnabbi Eriya, n’akyusa emitima gy’aba kitaabwe okudda eri abaana baabwe, n’okukyusa emitima gy’abajeemu okudda eri amagezi g’abatuukirivu alyoke ateeketeeke abantu okulindirira Mukama.”
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 Zaakaliya n’agamba malayika nti, “Ekyo nnaakimanya ntya? Kubanga nze ndi mukadde, ne mukazi wange naye akaddiya nnyo.”
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 Malayika n’amugamba nti, “Nze Gabulyeri ayimirira mu maaso ga Katonda, era y’antumye okwogera naawe n’okukuleetera amawulire gano.
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 Naye olw’okuba nga tokkirizza bigambo byange, ojja kuziba omumwa, era togenda kuddamu kwogera okutuusa ng’ebintu ebyo bimaze okubaawo. Kubanga ebigambo byange byonna birimala kutuukirira mu kiseera kyabyo.”
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 Abantu abaali balindirira ebweru wa Yeekaalu okulaba Zaakaliya ne beewuunya nnyo ekyamulwisaayo ennyo bw’atyo.
And the people wayted for Zacharias and mervelled that he taryed in the temple.
22 Oluvannyuma ennyo bwe yavaayo, yali tasobola kwogera nabo, ne bategeera nga mu Yeekaalu afuniddeyo okwolesebwa. N’asigala ng’azibye omumwa naye ng’abategeeza mu bubonero.
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 N’abeera mu Yeekaalu okutuusa ennaku ze ez’oluwalo lwe zaggwaako n’alyoka addayo eka.
And it fortuned assone as ye tyme of his office was oute he departed home into his awne housse.
24 Ennaku ezo bwe zaayitawo, mukazi we Erisabesi n’aba olubuto, ne yeekwekera ebbanga lya myezi etaano.
And after thoose dayes his wyfe Elizabeth coceaved and hyd her sylfe. v. monethes sayinge:
25 N’agamba nti, “Mukama nga wa kisa kingi, kubanga anziggyeeko ensonyi olw’obutaba na mwana.”
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 Awo mu mwezi ogw’omukaaga, Katonda n’atuma malayika Gabulyeri mu kibuga Nazaaleesi eky’omu Ggaliraaya
And in ye. vi. moneth ye angell Gabriel was sent fro god vnto a cite of Galile named Nazareth
27 eri omuwala erinnya lye Maliyamu, nga tamanyi musajja, eyali ayogerezebwa omusajja erinnya lye Yusufu, ow’omu lulyo lwa Dawudi.
to a virgin spoused to a man whose name was Ioseph of ye housse of David and ye virgins name was Mary.
28 Awo Gabulyeri n’alabikira Maliyamu n’amulamusa nti, “Mirembe! Ggwe aweereddwa omukisa! Mukama ali naawe!”
And ye angell went in vnto her and sayde: Hayle full of grace ye Lorde is with ye: blessed arte thou amonge wemen.
29 Maliyamu n’atya, n’abulwa n’ekyokwogera, ng’okulamusa okwo kumutabudde, nga n’amakulu gaakwo tagategeera.
When she sawe him she was abasshed at his sayinge: and cast in her mynde what maner of salutacion yt shuld be.
30 Awo malayika n’amugamba nti, “Totya, Maliyamu, kubanga olabye ekisa mu maaso ga Katonda.
And ye angell sayde vnto her: feare not Mary: for thou hast founde grace wt god.
31 Kubanga, laba, olibeera olubuto, olizaala omwana wabulenzi era olimutuuma erinnya, Yesu.
Loo: thou shalt coceave in thy wombe and shalt beare a sonne and shalt call his name Iesus.
32 Agenda kuba mukulu, wa kitiibwa, era aliyitibwa Omwana w’Oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo, era Mukama Katonda alimuwa entebe ey’obwakabaka eya jjajjaawe Dawudi.
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 Awo Maliyamu n’abuuza malayika nti, “Ekyo kiriba kitya? Kubanga simanyi musajja.”
Then sayd Mary vnto ye angell: How shall this be seinge I knowe not a man?
35 Malayika n’amuddamu nti, “Mwoyo Mutukuvu alikukkako, n’amaanyi g’Oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo galikubuutikira, n’omwana alizaalibwa aliba mutukuvu, Omwana wa Katonda.
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 Laba, muganda wo Erisabesi eyayitibwanga omugumba, kati ali lubuto lwa myezi mukaaga mu bukadde bwe.
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 Kubanga buli kigambo kiyinzika eri Katonda.”
for wt god can nothinge be vnpossible.
38 Maliyamu n’addamu nti, “Nze ndi muweereza wa Mukama, kibe ku nze nga bw’ogambye.” Malayika n’ava w’ali, n’agenda.
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 Awo mu biro ebyo, Maliyamu n’ayanguwa okugenda mu nsi ya Buyudaaya ey’ensozi, mu kibuga kyayo.
And Mary arose in thoose dayes and went into ye mountayns wt hast into a cite of Iurie
40 N’ayingira mu nnyumba ya Zaakaliya n’alamusa Erisabesi.
and entred into the housse of zachary and saluted Elizabeth.
41 Naye Maliyamu bwe yalamusa Erisabesi, omwana eyali mu lubuto lwa Erisabesi n’abuukabuuka era n’ajjuzibwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu.
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 Erisabesi n’alyoka ayogerera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Oweereddwa omukisa, ggwe mu bakazi, era n’omwana ali mu lubuto lwo aweereddwa omukisa.
and cryed with a loude voyce and sayde: Blessed arte thou amonge wemen and blessed is the frute of thy wombe.
43 Nga nfunye ekitiibwa kinene ggwe nnyina wa Mukama wange okujja okunkyalira!
And whence hapeneth this to me that the mother of my Lorde shuld come to me?
44 Kubanga bw’oyingidde n’onnamusa, omwana ali mu lubuto lwange oluwulidde ku ddoboozi lyo ne yeekyusakyusa olw’essanyu!
For loo assone as the voyce of thy salutacion sownded in myne eares the babe sprange in my belly for ioye.
45 Oweereddwa omukisa bw’okkirizza nti ebintu ebyo Mukama bya kwogeddeko birituukirizibwa.”
And blessed arte thou that belevedst: for thoose thinges shalbe performed wich were tolde ye from the lorde.
46 Maliyamu n’agamba nti,
And Mary sayde. My soule magnifieth the Lorde.
47 “Emmeeme yange etendereza Mukama. N’omwoyo gwange gusanyukidde Katonda omulokozi wange,
And my sprete reioyseth in god my savioure
48 Kubanga alabye obuwombeefu bw’omuweereza we. Kubanga laba, okuva kaakano, ab’emirembe gyonna banaampitanga eyaweebwa omukisa.
For he hath loked on the povre degre of his honde mayde. Beholde now from hence forth shall all generacions call me blessed.
49 Kubanga Owaamaanyi ankoledde ebikulu; N’erinnya lye ttukuvu.
For he that is myghty hath done to me greate thinges and holye is his name.
50 N’okusaasira kwe kwa mirembe na mirembe eri abo abamutya.
And his mercy is on them that feare him thorow oute all generacions.
51 Akoze eby’amaanyi n’omukono gwe. Asaasaanyizza ab’emitima egy’amalala.
He sheweth strength with his arme he scattereth them that are proude in the ymaginacion of their hertes.
52 Awanudde abafuzi ku ntebe zaabwe ez’obwakabaka n’agulumiza abawombeefu.
He putteth doune the myghty from their seates and exalteth them of lowe degre.
53 Abali mu kwetaaga abakkusizza ebirungi. Naye abagagga n’abagoba nga tabawaddeeyo kantu.
He filleth the hongry with good thinges: and sendeth awaye the ryche emptye.
54 Adduukiridde omuweereza we Isirayiri, n’ajjukira okusaasira,
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 Maliyamu n’amala ewa Erisabesi muganda we, ng’emyezi esatu, n’alyoka addayo ewuwe.
And mary aboode with hyr aboute a. iii. monethes and retourned agayne to hyr awne housse.
57 Awo ekiseera kya Erisabesi eky’okuzaala ne kituuka, n’azaala omwana wabulenzi.
Elizabethes tyme was come that she shuld be delyvered and she brought forth a sonne.
58 Baliraanwa ba Erisabesi n’ab’ekika kye ne bawulira nga Mukama bw’amulaze ekisa, ne basanyukira wamu naye.
And her neghboures and her cosins hearde tell how the lorde had shewed great mercy vpon her and they reioysed with her.
59 Awo omwana bwe yaweza ennaku omunaana, ne bajja okumukomola, bonna nga balowooza nti ajja kutuumibwa erinnya lya kitaawe Zaakaliya.
And it fortuned ye eyght daye: they cam to circumcise the chylde: and called his name zacharias after the name of his father.
60 Naye Erisabesi n’abagamba nti, “Nedda, ajja kutuumibwa Yokaana.”
How be it his mother answered and sayd: not so but he shalbe called Ihon.
61 Ne bamuwakanya nga bagamba nti, “Mu kika kyo kyonna tetuwulirangayo yatuumibwa linnya eryo.”
And they sayd vnto hyr: Ther is none of thy kynne that is named wt this name.
62 Ne babuuza kitaawe w’omwana erinnya ly’ayagala atuumibwe.
And they made signes to his father how he wolde have him called.
63 N’abasaba eky’okuwandiikako, n’awandiikako nti, “Erinnya lye ye Yokaana!” Bonna ne beewuunya nnyo!
And he axed for wrytynge tables and wroote saying: his name is Iohn. And they marvelled all.
64 Amangwago akamwa ka Zaakaliya ne kagguka, n’olulimi lwe ne lusumulukuka, n’atandika okwogera n’okutendereza Katonda.
And his mouthe was opened immediatly and his tonge also and he spake lawdynge God.
65 Abantu bonna ab’omu kitundu ekyo ne batya nnyo, era ebigambo ebyo ne bibuna mu nsi yonna ey’e Buyudaaya ey’ensozi.
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 Buli eyawulira ebigambo ebyo n’abirowoozaako nnyo mu mutima gwe, ne yeebuuza nti, “Naye omwana ono bw’alikula aliba atya?” Kubanga awatali kubuusabuusa, omukono gwa Mukama gwali wamu 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 Awo Zaakaliya kitaawe, n’ajjula Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’awa obunnabbi nti,
And his father zacharias was filled with the holy goost and prophisyed sayinge:
68 “Atenderezebwe Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, kubanga akyalidde abantu be, era abanunudde.
Blessed be the Lorde God of Israel for he hath visited and redemed his people.
69 Yatuyimusiriza obuyinza obw’obulokozi, mu nnyumba y’omuddu we Dawudi.
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 Okulokolebwa mu balabe baffe, n’okuva mu mukono gw’abo bonna abatukyawa,
That we shuld be saved from oure enemies and from the hondis of all that hate vs:
72 okulaga bajjajjaffe ekisa, n’ajjukira n’endagaano ye entukuvu,
To fulfill the mercy promised to oure fathers and to remember his holy covenaunt.
73 ekirayiro kye yalayirira jjajjaffe Ibulayimu,
And to performe the oothe which he sware to oure father Adraham
74 okukituukiriza, n’okulokolebwa okuva mu mukono gw’abalabe baffe awatali kutya, tulyoke tuweereze mu maaso ge,
for to geve vs. That we delyvered oute of ye hondes of oure enemyes myght serve him with oute feare
75 mu butukuvu ne mu butuukirivu ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwaffe.
all the dayes of oure lyfe in suche holynes and ryghtewesnes that are accept before him.
76 “Naawe, mwana wange, oliyitibwa nnabbi w’Oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo; kubanga gw’olikulembera Mukama okumuteekerateekera amakubo ge.
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 Okumanyisa abantu be obulokozi, obw’okusonyiyibwa ebibi byabwe.
And to geve knowlege of salvacion vnto his people for the remission of synnes:
78 Byonna birituukirira olw’ekisa kya Katonda waffe ekingi. Emmambya esala eritukyalira okuva mu ggulu,
Through the tender mercy of oure God wherby the daye springe from an hye hath visited vs.
79 okwakira abo abatudde mu kizikiza ne mu kisiikirize eky’okufa, okuluŋŋamya ebigere byaffe mu kkubo ery’emirembe.”
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 Omwana n’akula n’ayongerwako amaanyi mu mwoyo, n’abeera mu malungu okutuusa ku lunaku lwe yayolesebwa eri Isirayiri.
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.
