Luke 1
1 Bisi manu khan pora kotha aru kaam khan laga khisa joma kori kene likhibo nimite kosis korise, juntu amikhan majot te pura hoise
My noble [friend] Theophilus, many people saw the things that [Jesus] did while he was with us, from the time when he started [MTY] [his ministry]. They served God [by teaching people] the message [about the Lord Jesus]. Many of those who heard what they taught wrote down for us accounts of the things that [Jesus did from the time when] he began [his ministry].
2 jineka pora amikhan laga hathte dise jun khan shuru te nijor suku pora dikhise aru kotha laga noukar khan asele.
3 Etu nimite ami etu bisi bhal nisena dikhi ase, bhal pora bisari kene sob kotha aru kaam khan to shuru pora apuni ke hisab-kitab pora likhi ase mohan Theophilus,
I myself have studied these accounts carefully. So I decided that it would be good for me also to write for you [(sg)] an accurate account of these matters.
4 eneka hoile tumi janibo etu bostu laga asol kotha juntu apuni ke sikhai dise.
I want you to know the truth about what you have been taught {what others have taught you}.
5 Aru Herod pora Judea laga raja thaka somoite Abijah laga dol pora Zachariah naam laga ekjon purohit thakise. Tai laga maiki to Aaron laga khandan pora asele aru tai laga naam Elizabeth asele.
When King Herod [the Great ruled] Judea [district], there was a [Jewish] priest named Zechariah. He belonged to the [group of priests called] the Abijah group. He and his wife Elizabeth were both descended from the [first priest of Israel], Aaron.
6 Aru tai duijon Isor usorte bisi bhal thakise, aru Probhu pora ki koi sob kotha to sapha pora mani thake.
[God considered that] both of them were righteous, because they constantly completely obeyed everything that God had commanded.
7 Aru taikhan bacha thaka nai, kelemane Elizabeth to bacha pabole napara maiki thakise, aru tai duijon laga umor bhi bisi hoi jaise.
But they had no children, because Elizabeth had been unable to bear children. Furthermore, she and her husband were very old.
8 Etiya eneka hoise, jitia Zechariah tai Isor usorte tai laga purohit kaam khan kori asele, juntu kaan khan tai laga dol khan pora kore.
One day [Zechariah’s] group was doing their work [in the Temple in Jerusalem], and he was serving as a priest in God’s presence.
9 Titia, purohit laga niyom hisab te, taike Isor laga pobitro ghor bhitor te jai kene dhup aru dhona julabole chithi pora basi se.
Following their custom, [the other priests] chose him by lot to enter the Lord’s temple and burn incense.
10 Jitia dhona juli jaise etu homoi te sob manu khan bahar te prathana kori thakise.
While he was burning the incense, many people were outside [in the courtyard], praying.
11 Titia Probhu laga sorgodoth tai usorte ahise, aru jun jagate dhona julai se etu laga dyna phale khara korise.
Then an angel whom God had [sent] appeared to him. The angel was standing at the right side of the place [where the priests burned] incense.
12 Jitia Zechariah etu dikhise tai bisi chinta hoise aru tai uporte bisi bhoi ahi jaise.
When Zechariah saw the angel, he was startled and became very afraid.
13 Hoilebi, sorgodoth koise, “Bhoi na koribi Zechariah, tumi laga prathana huni loise. Tumi laga maiki Elizabeth pora ekjon chokra pabo. Aru tumi tai laga naam John rakhibo.
But the angel said to him, “Zechariah, do not be afraid! When you [(sg)] prayed [asking God for a son] (OR, [that God would send the Messiah]), God heard what you prayed. [So] your wife Elizabeth shall bear a son. You must name him John.
14 Aru tumikhan anond aru bhal lagibo, aru bisi manu khan tai laga jonom te khushi koribo.
He will cause you to be very happy, and many other people will also be happy because he is born.
15 Aru tai Probhu usorte bisi dangor hobo. Tai kitia bhi draikha-ros nakhabole lage, tai ama laga peth te thaka homoi pora he Pobitro Atma pora bhorta hoi jabo.
God will consider him to be very important. He must never drink wine or any other alcoholic drink, [in order that he will be completely dedicated to God]. He will be controlled by the Holy Spirit {The Holy Spirit will control him} from before he is born.
16 Aru tai Israel laga bacha khan ke Probhu Isor logote wapas anibo.
He will [persuade] many people in Israel to turn away [from their sins and please] the Lord their God.
17 Elijah laga atma aru takot pora Probhu laga kaam te tai he age kori kene loijabo. Aru jun dharmikta laga kotha namani kene ase taikhan laga mon ghurai dibo nimite aru baba khan laga mon taikhan laga bacha khan phale ghurai dibole, aru jun Probhu ahibole ase Tai nimite rasta taiyar kori bole.”
As [God’s] Spirit enables him [to preach] powerfully as [the prophet] Elijah did, he will precede [the Messiah]. He will cause parents [SYN] to act [peacefully] toward their children [again]. He will cause [many] people who do not obey [God to hear and obey] the wise things that righteous people [tell them]. He will do this in order to help [many] people to be ready when the Lord [comes].”
18 Zechariah pora sorgodoth ke koise, “Moi etu hobo koi kene kineka janibo? Kelemane moi bura hoise aru moi laga maiki bhi umor bisi hoise.”
Then Zechariah said to the angel, “I am very old, and my wife is also so old [that she cannot bear a child. So] (I cannot [believe] that what you [(sg)] said [will happen]!/how can I [believe] that what you [(sg)] said [will happen]?) [RHQ]”
19 Aru sorgodoth taike jawab dikene koise, “Moi Gabriel ase, jun Isor usorte khara kore. Amike tumi logote kotha kobole pathaise, aru etu bhal khobor to tumike kobole nimite.
Then the angel said to him, “I am [God’s chief angel], Gabriel! [I do what God tells me, because] I constantly am in God’s presence! I was sent {[He] sent me} to tell you [(sg)] something good [that is going to happen to you].
20 Aru etu nimite, sob kaam to nohua tak tumi chup thakibo aru kotha ulabo na paribo, kelemane tumi moi laga kotha biswas kora nai, etu sob to tai laga thik homoi te pura hobo.”
What I have told you will certainly happen at the time [God decides], but you did not believe what I told you. So now [God will make] you will be unable to talk until the day [your son is born]”!
21 Aru manu khan Zechariah nimite rukhi thakisele, aru taikhan chinta-bhabona korise jitia tai mondoli ghor bhithor te deri korise.
While [Zechariah and the angel] were talking, the people [in the courtyard] were waiting for Zechariah [to come out]. They wondered, “Why is he staying in the Temple for such a long time?”
22 Kintu jitia tai bahar te ulai ahise tai kotha kobole para nai, titia taikhan bhabise taike Isor pora kiba ekta dikhaise; aru tai manu khan ke ishara pora dikhai di thakise, aru kotha koribo naparikena he thaki jaise.
When Zechariah came out, he was not able to speak to the people. Because he could not talk, he made motions with his hands [to try to convey what had happened]. Then they realized that he had seen (a vision [from God]/something that [God] showed him) while he was in the Temple.
23 Aru etu sob to tai laga sewa kora homoi pura aru khotom hoise, titia tai ghor te jai jaise.
When Zechariah’s time to work [as a priest in the Temple] was finished, he [left Jerusalem and] returned to his home.
24 Aru etu din piche, tai laga maiki Elizabeth bacha bukhi se, aru pans mohina tak tai nije ke lukai kene rakhise, aru koi thakise,
Some time later his wife Elizabeth became pregnant [EUP]. She did not leave their house for five months, [because she knew that people would laugh at her if she told them that she was pregnant].
25 “Isor ami uporte eneka korise, aru ami uporte Probhu he daya korise, manu usorte sorom nathakibo nimite.”
But she thought, “God has enabled me to become pregnant. He has pitied me and I will no longer be ashamed [because I have no children]!”
26 Aru Elizabeth peth te bacha bukha choi mohina huwa homoi te, Isor pora sorgodoth Gabriel ke Galilee, juntu ke Nazareth mate, etu jagate pathaise,
When Elizabeth had been [pregnant] [EUP] [for almost] six months, the angel Gabriel was sent by God {God sent the angel Gabriel} [again].
27 ekjon kumari mahila logote, jun Joseph koi kene ekjon manu logot shadi kori bole laga kotha milikena asele, aru jun David ghor manu asele; aru etu kumari laga naam Mary asele.
[This time] he went to Nazareth [town] in Galilee [district], to a virgin whose name was Mary. It had been {[Her parents] had} promised that she would marry a man named Joseph, who was descended from [King] David.
28 Aru tai logote ahikena, sorgodoth koise, “Salam tumike, jun uporte Isor laga morom ahise! Probhu tumi logote ase.”
The angel greeted her and said, “(The Lord/God) is with you [(sg)] and you will be greatly blessed {[has decided to] greatly bless you}!”
29 Aru tai etu kotha khan huni kene chinta hoise aru tai bhabi thakise etu kineka laga salam ase.
But Mary was very confused [when she heard] that. She wondered what [the angel meant] by these words.
30 Aru sorgodoth taike koise, “Bhoi na koribi, Mary, tumi to Isor usorte morom paise.
Then the angel said to her, “Mary, God is very pleased with you [(sg)], so do not be afraid.
31 Aru tumi ekjon chokra bukhi bo, aru Tai laga naam ‘Jisu’ rakhibo.
You will become pregnant and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus.
32 Tai bisi mohan hobo aru Taike Sobse Mohan laga Putro eneka matibo. Aru Probhu Isor taike, tai laga purbo David laga singhason dibo.
He will become great. He will be called {[People will] call him} (the Son of God/the man who is also God). God, the Lord, will make him a king [MTY] as his ancestor [King] David was.
33 Aru Tai hodai nimite Jacob laga ghor cholai thakibo, aru Tai laga rajyo kitia bhi khotom nahobo.” (aiōn g165)
He will be the King of [the] Jews, the descendants [MTY] of [your ancestor] Jacob, forever. He will rule as king forever!” (aiōn g165)
34 Aru Mary pora sorgodoth logote koise, “Etu kineka hobo, kelemane moi kun manu ke bhi najane?”
Then Mary said to the angel, “I am a virgin, so how can I [have a baby]?”
35 Aru sorgodoth he taike koise, “Pobitro Atma tumi logote ahibo, aru Sobse Mohan takot pora tumike bondh kori dibo. Etu nimite juntu pobitro bacha jonom hobole ase, Taike Isor laga Putro matibo.
The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come to you; the power of God [MTY/EUP] will overshadow you [and enable you to become pregnant]. So the child [you will] bear will be completely set apart {give himself completely} to obey God, and he will be called {[people] will say that he is} (the Son of God/the man who is also God).
36 Aru sabi tumi laga ghor manu Elizabeth bhi tai laga buri umorte chokra pabole ase. Aru tai bacha bukha choi mohina chuli asele, tai junke dusra khan pora bacha bukhibo napara mahila koi thakisele.
[I also need to tell you something else]. Your cousin Elizabeth is very old, and it was thought {[people] said} that she could not bear any children. But she has been [pregnant] [EUP] [for almost] six months, and will bear a son!
37 Kelemane Isor nimite eku napara nai.”
[You should not be surprised at that], because God can do everything!”
38 Aru Mary koise, “Sabi moi Probhu laga ekjon mahila noukar ase. Apuni ki koi ase etu nisena hobole dibi.” Titia sorgodoth jai jaise.
Then Mary said, “All right, I want to serve (the Lord/God), so may what you [(sg)] have said about me come true!” Then the angel left her.
39 Etu huwa pichete, Mary tara-tari kori kene pahar desh te jaise, Judah laga sheher ekta te.
Very soon after that, Mary got ready and went quickly to a town in the highlands of Judea [district] where Zechariah lived.
40 Aru Zechariah aru Elizabeth laga ghor te ghusi kene salam dise.
She entered his house and greeted [his wife] Elizabeth.
41 Aru eneka hoise jitia Mary pora Elizabeth ke salam dise, tai laga pet bhitor te bacha thaka to khushi pora hili se, aru Elizabeth to Pobitro Atma pora bhorta hoise.
As soon as Elizabeth heard Mary greet her, the baby moved inside [Elizabeth’s] womb. The Holy Spirit took complete control of Elizabeth,
42 Aru tai khushi pora hala kori kene koise; “Sob maiki bhitor te tumi ekjon asirbad thaka ase, aru jun he apuni laga bhitor te ase etu bhi asirbad ase.
and she said loudly [to Mary], “[God] has blessed you [more than] he has blessed [any other] woman, and [he has] blessed the child you will bear!
43 Aru etu moi logote kineka hoise, moi laga Probhu laga ama moi logote ahise.
(I am not worthy that [God would allow you] to visit me!/Why is [God allowing you] to visit me?) [RHQ] You will be the mother of my Lord!
44 Aru sabi, apuni laga salam jitia moi kan pora hunise, moi laga bhitor te bacha thaka to khushi pora hili se.
[I realize this because] as soon as I heard you greet me, the baby inside my womb moved because he was so happy [that you had come].
45 Aru etu manu asirbad ase jun to kotha khan purah hobo koi kene biswas korise, juntu kotha to Probhu pora taike koise.”
[God] is pleased with you [because] you believed that what (the Lord/God) told you would come true.”
46 Titia Mary koise, “Moi laga jibon Probhu ke mohima kore,
Then Mary [praised God by] saying/singing: “, how I [SYN] praise (the Lord/God)!
47 Aru moi laga Atma khushi kori ase jun Isor he moi laga Tran-korta ase.
I am happy because God is the one who saves me.
48 Aru Tai upor pora, sobse mamuli maiki ekjon, tai laga noukar ke saise. Aru sabi, etiya pora sob manu khan moike asirbad ase kobo.
I was only his lowly servant girl, but he did not forget me. So from now on, everyone will say that God was pleased with me,
49 Kelemane Mohan Isor pora moi nimite dangor kaam kori dise aru tai laga naam to pobitro ase.
because they will hear about the things that God [MTY], the mighty one, has done for me. He [MTY] is awesome!
50 Aru tai laga morom to etiya pora loi kene aha din tak jun manu taike bhoi kore tai logote ase.
He acts mercifully toward all those who respect him.
51 Tai laga hath pora bisi dangor kaam korise. Aru jun manu tai laga monte phutani bhabona kore taikhan ke alag kori diye.
He shows people that he [MTY] is very powerful. He scatters those who think proudly.
52 Aru taikhan bohi kene raj kora jaga pora nichete girai dise. Aru jun chutu hoise eitu khan ke uthaise.
He does not let mighty kings rule [MTY] any more, but he honors people who are oppressed (OR, humble).
53 Aru bhuka thaka khan ke bhal saman pora bhorta kori dise, Aru dhun manu khan ke khali kori dise.
He gives good things to eat to those who are hungry, but he sends away the rich people without giving them anything.
54 Aru tai laga noukar, Israel ke modot korise, tai laga morom to yaad korise,
And now he has remembered what he promised. So he has helped me and all the other people of [MTY] Israel who serve him.
55 Aru tai kotha korise moi khan baba laga baba khan ke- Abraham aru tai laga bacha khan logote hodai nimite.” (aiōn g165)
He promised to Abraham and all our other ancestors who descended from him that he would act mercifully toward them forever.” (aiōn g165)
56 Aru Mary Elizabeth logote tin mohina tak thakise aru etu pichete tai laga ghor te jai jaise.
Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months. Then she returned to her home.
57 Aru Elizabeth nimite bacha pabole laga homoi ahi jaise aru tai ekjon chokra ke jonom dise.
When it was time for Elizabeth to give birth to her child, she bore a son.
58 Tai laga ghor manu aru usorte thaka khan Probhu pora kiman dangor aru morom kaam korise etu dikhi kene tai logote khushi korise.
Her neighbors and relatives heard how (the Lord/God) had greatly blessed her [by enabling her to bear a child], so they were happy along with [Elizabeth].
59 Aru bacha ath din hoi thaka homoi te taikhan bacha ke sunnot kori bole anise, aru tai laga baba Zechariah laga naam te rakhibole thakise.
Seven days later they gathered together for the [ceremony for] circumcising the baby [to show that he belonged to God]. They wanted to give the baby the same name as his father, Zechariah.
60 Hoilebi tai laga ama pora koise, “Nohoi. Taike John laga naam pora he matibo.”
But his mother said, “No, [his name will not be Zechariah]. His name will be John!”
61 Aru taikhan koise, “Apuni laga ghor manu bhitor te kun bhi etu naam thaka manu nai.”
[So] they said to her, “[John] is not the name of any of your [(dl)] relatives, [so you(dl) should not give him that name]!”
62 Aru taikhan tai laga baba ke hath dikhai kene ki mati bole mon ase etu hudise.
Then they made motions with their hands to Zechariah, [for him] to indicate what name [he] wanted to be given {to give} to his son.
63 Tai laga baba pora likhi bole saman mangise aru likhise, koise, “Tai laga naam to John ase.” Titia taikhan sob asurit hoi jaise.
[So] he signaled that they [should give him] a tablet [to write on. When they gave him one], he wrote [on it], “His name is John.” All those [who were there] were surprised!
64 Aru achanak pora tai laga mukh khuli se aru tai laga jiba to hili se, aru tai Isor ke asirbad dise.
Immediately Zechariah was able to speak again [MTY], and he praised God.
65 Sob Judea laga jagate etu laga kotha he koi thakise, aru jiman manu taikhan usorte thakise, taikhan sob bhoi hoise.
All their neighbors were amazed/awestruck! They told other people who lived all over the highlands of Judea about what had happened.
66 Jun manu etu kotha khan hunise etu sob taikhan nijor laga monte rakhise, aru koi thakise, “Etu bacha kineka hobo?” Kelemane Isor laga hath tai logote asele.
Everyone who heard about it kept thinking about it. They were saying, “We wonder what will this child do [for God when] he [grows up] [RHQ]!” They wondered that because [from what had happened they were sure that] God would be helping that child [SYN] [in a powerful way].
67 Titia tai laga baba Zechariah ke Pobitro Atma pora bhorta hoise aru tai koise,
[After] Zechariah’s [son was born], Zechariah was completely directed by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit completely directed Zechariah} as he spoke these words that came from God:
68 “Asirbad hobo Probhu, Israel laga Isor, Kelemane Tai modot kori bole ahise, aru Tai laga manu khan nimite ki bhabise etu purah hoise.
“Praise the Lord, the God whom we(inc) people of Israel worship, because he has come to set us, his people, free from our enemies.
69 Aru amikhan nimite Tai laga noukar David laga porial te ekjon mukti laga seing ulai dise,
He is sending us someone who will powerfully [MTY] save us, someone who is descended from [MTY] King David, who served God well.
Long ago God caused his prophets to say that he would do that. (aiōn g165)
71 Biya pora mukti pabo aru taikhan laga hath pora amikhan ke bachai lobo.
He will rescue us from our enemies, and he will save us from the power of all those who hate us.
72 Tai eneka kori kene amikhan baba laga baba khan uporte morom to dikhai dibo. Aru tai laga ki pobitro vachan dise etu yaad koribo.
He will do this because he has not forgotten what he promised our ancestors; he made an agreement that he would act mercifully to us, their descendants.
73 Aru juntu kosom Abraham amikhan baba laga baba khan logote khaise, etu dibo nimite
That is what he strongly promised our ancestor Abraham that he would do.
74 Aru amikhan ke dushman laga hath pora bachai kene ulai luwa nisena amikhan taike bhoi nakori kene tai laga sewa koribo,
God told him that we would be rescued {he would rescue us} from the power of our enemies, that he would enable us to serve him without being afraid,
75 Pobitrota te aru sapha pora taike hodai mohima koribo.
that he would cause us to be completely dedicated to him, and enable us to live righteously all of our lives.”
76 Aru apuni ke, oh bacha, sob pora dangor bhabobadi matibo kelemane apuni Probhu laga age te jabo aru rasta taiyar koribo.
[Then Zechariah said this to] his little son: “My child, you will be called {people will say that you are} a prophet whom God [MTY/EUP] has sent; you will begin your work before (the Lord/Messiah) comes; you will prepare people so that they will be ready for him. (OR, you will begin your work before the Messiah comes).
77 Tai laga manu khan ke poritran laga gyaan dibole, taikhan laga paap pora maph pai ja-a dwara.
You will tell God’s people how he will forgive them and save them from being punished for their sins.
78 Aru etu sob to purah hobo kelemane amikhan laga Isor to morom aru nomro ase. Etu nimite uporte thaka ujala bhi amikhan ke modot kori bole ahibo,
Our God will do that because he is very kind to us. Just like a new day begins when the sun rises [MET], God will do that new thing for us when the Messiah comes to us from heaven.
79 Aru jun andhera te bohi ase aru mora-laga chaya te bohi kene ase taikhan uporte ujala thakibo; amikhan laga theng to shanti laga rasta te bera bole dibo.”
People who do not know God [MET] are like those who sit in the darkness. They are afraid [MTY] that they will soon die. But when the Messiah tells us God’s message, it will be like causing such people to see a bright light. He will guide us [SYN] so that we will be living peacefully.”
80 Aru bacha to dangor hoise aru atma te takot hoise, aru tai jongol te thakise jitia tak tai nijorke Israel manu usorte ahi dikhai diya nai.
[Later], Zechariah’s son grew up and became spiritually strong. Then he lived in a desolate region until he began to preach to the Israeli people.
