Luk 1
1 Mongnook Thiophilas: Seng laktung ni Rangte mootkaat angta loong ah mina hantek ih lom raangthiin rumta.
Seeing that many have attempted to draw up a narrative of the facts which are received with full assurance among us
2 Neng ih seng suh hephang di tumjih tup rumta loong ah nyia ruurang tumbaatte loong ih mamet baat tahe erah jun ih raang rumta.
on the authority of those who were from the beginning eye-witnesses and were devoted to the service of the divine Message,
3 Erah raang ih, Jatwah Thiophilas, ngah ih erah loong tiit ah hephang dowa dook ih naririh ih jatjah halang, eno samthun tang, ngah ih uh naririh ih le nah phanlan raangthiin angbah ese ang ah eah.
it has seemed right to me also, after careful investigation of the facts from their commencement, to write for you, most noble Theophilus, a connected account,
4 Ngah arah reelang ah langla an ih amiisak tiit nyootsoottu loong ah ejat toom et uh ih raangthiin hang.
that you may fully know the truth of the things which you have been taught by word of mouth.
5 Judia ni Hirod luungwang angtokdi, romwah wasiit heh men ah Jekaria, Abija lilih heh romwah esiit angta. Heh minuh men ah Elijabet angta; heh uh esiit romwah jaatang nawa angta.
There was in the time of Herod, the king of Judaea, a priest of the name of Zechariah, belonging to the class of Abijah. He had a wife who was a descendant of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
6 Nengnyi Rangte miksok di toongtang lam ih songtong nyuuta Teesu Hootthe jengdang loong ah naririh et kap nyu ano ah.
They were both of them upright before God, blamelessly obeying all the Lord's precepts and ordinances.
7 Elijabet ah samuh nuh ang tungthoi nengnyi sah uh tajeeta, heh miwah Jekaria nyia heh ah ekuh ekaang ih nyuuta.
But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren; and both of them were far advanced in life.
8 Heh romhoonsa thok kohaano saasiit Jekaria ah Rangteenok ni reeraang paknaata.
Now while he was doing priestly duty before God in the prescribed course of his class,
9 Romwah loong Hootthe jun ih Rangteenok ni phontumkaang tingtak suh jongteh tootoon rum adi Jekaria men chapta. Eno heh Teesu rangsoom nokmongni wangta
it fell to his lot--according to the custom of the priesthood--to go into the Sanctuary of the Lord and burn the incense;
10 phontumkaang tingtak tok ah chang kano miloong ah taakkhuung ni rangsoom rumta.
and the whole multitude of the people were outside praying, at the hour of incense.
11 Erah di heh reeni Rangsah ah dongchap taha, jaawako romthong phontumkaang tingtakta rum adi ah.
Then there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense;
12 Jekaria ih erah japtup ano paatjaata eno echo nep eta.
and Zechariah on seeing him was agitated and terrified.
13 Enoothong Rangsah rah ih heh suh liita, “Nakcho uh, Jekaria! Rangte ih an rangsoom chaat eta, an minuh suh no miwasah an raangtaan ih koh ah. An ih heh men ah Joon et men theng.
But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your petition has been heard: and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call his name John.
14 Heh tupsa doh tumthan tenroonjih ang ah an raangtaan ih ah, erah damdoh wahoh loong uh tumthan ih tenroon ang ah!
Gladness and exultant joy shall be yours, and many will rejoice over his birth.
15 Joon ah Teesu miksok doh elong mina esiit ang ah. Heh ih kham naktoom mok jok ah. Heh phang doktup damdam heh ah Esa Chiiala pan ang ah,
For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; no wine or fermented drink shall he ever drink; but he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from the very hour of his birth.
16 eno heh ih Ijirel mina loong neng Teesu Rangte ko ih ngaak thoksiit ah.
Many of the descendants of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God;
17 Khowah Elija likhiik ih heh uh Teesu nganah chaan aphaan lam ih ban kah ah. Heh ih hewah heh sah loong we jun songtong thuk rum ah; heh ih Rangte jeng daante loong asuh kateng lampo jatthuk ah; heh ih Teesu mina loong heh raangtaan ih ban khookham thiin ah.”
and he will be His forerunner in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn fathers' hearts to the children, and cause the rebellious to walk in the wisdom of the upright, to make a people perfectly ready for the lord."
18 Jekaria ih Rangsah asuh liita, “Emah mok ang abah ngah ih mamet jat ang? Ngah ah teekaang nih nga minuh uh wikuh ih hoonla nih.”
"By what proof," asked Zechariah, "shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is far advanced in years."
19 “Ngah Gabrel,” Rangsah rah ih ngaakbaatta. “Ngah Rangte pandi chaplang, heh ih ngah an suh arah Ruurang Ese ah baat suh kaat thuk halang.
"I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God," answered the angel, "and I have been sent to talk with you and tell you this good news.
20 Enoothong an ih nga jengkhaap ah tahanpi ko, heh rangwuung thok ha doh amiisak ih langte lek ang kano ah. Nga jengkhaap lahanpi thoidoh an tami jengko ang uh; ngah ih an damdi kakham hala ah amiisak maang langlang an suusu ih tong uh.”
And now you will be dumb and unable to speak until the day when this has taken place; because you did not believe my words--words which will be fulfilled at their appointed time."
21 Erah tok adi miloong ah ih Jekaria ah ban sok ruh ih rum ano Rangteenok ni saatang tumjih thaam eha ih paatja rumta.
Meanwhile the people were waiting for Zechariah, and were surprised that he stayed so long in the Sanctuary.
22 Jekaria dokkhoomha no neng damdi heh tami waanta, eno neng ih jat rumta Rangteenok nok ni mot amang hetupta eah. Khaapsiit uh lami dongjeng thoi heh lakthaak pamaak ih waan rumta.
When, however, he came out, he was unable to speak to them; and they knew that he must have seen a vision in the Sanctuary; but he kept making signs to them and continued dumb.
23 Heh Rangteenok ni rangsoom phansiit saapoot ah thoon ano, Jekaria heh nok ni ngaakwangta.
When his days of service were at an end, he went to his home;
24 Eno rekam ritdi heh minuh Elijabet rah heh sah dong wokta, eno laabanga heh nok nawa tadok khoomta.
and in course of time his wife Elizabeth conceived, and kept herself secluded five months.
25 Heh ih liita, “Nga Teesu ih hethoondi kok chosok halang. Heh ih ngah noksong dung nah rakri theng taat angtang rah toonhaat ha!”
"Thus has the Lord dealt with me," she said, "now that He has graciously taken away my reproach among men."
26 Elijaabet sah la arok wok adi Rangte ih Rangsah Gabrel Galili samnuh Najaret hadaang adi daapkaatta.
Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,
27 Heh ih jaalah esiit suh tiitkhaap baatjih angta, jaalah ah Dewid luungwang sutoom Josep damdi nook suh kakhat muicho angta. Heh men ah Meeri angta.
to a maiden betrothed to a man of the name of Joseph, a descendant of David. The maiden's name was Mary.
28 Rangsah ah ra haano heh suh baatta, “Khooteng toomtong uh! Teesu an damdi heh ih romseetam koh halu!”
So Gabriel went into the house and said to her, "Joy be to you, favoured one! the Lord is with you."
29 Meeri ih Rangsah jeng ah chaat ano rapne ih mongsaamta, eno erah jengkhaap ah tumjih suh liita ih paatjaata.
She was greatly agitated at his words, and wondered what such a greeting meant.
30 Rangsah ih liita, “Nakcho uh, Meeri; Rangte ih an minchan ih halu.
But the angel said, "Do not be frightened, Mary, for you have found favour with God.
31 An sah wokte anglu eno miwasah et tup uh, heh men ah Jisu et men uh.
You will conceive in your womb and bear a son; and you are to call His name JESUS.
32 Heh ah elong angte eno heh suh Elong Echoong ni tongte Rangte sah et li ah. Teesu Rangte ih heh ah luungwang et hoon ah, heh te Dewid likhiik ah,
He will be great and He will be called 'Son of the Most High.' And the Lord God will give Him the throne of His forefather David;
33 eno heh ah Jaakob sutoom dowa rootang raang ih luungwang ang ah; Heh hasong ah babah uh lathoon thang angte!” (aiōn g165)
and He will be King over the House of Jacob for the Ages, and of His Kingdom there will be no end." (aiōn g165)
34 Meeri ih Rangsah asuh liita, “Ngah roibaamuh jaalah boh ah. Erah mamah maami ang ah?”
"How can this be," Mary replied, "seeing that I have no husband?"
35 Rangsah ih ngaakbaatta, “Esa Chiiala an sak nah raaha, eno Rangte chaan ah ansak nah tong raaha. Erah raangtaan ih esa noodek asuh Rangte Sah et poon ah.
The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for this reason your holy offspring will be called 'the Son of God.'
36 An sano Elijabet ah taat samthun thaak uh. Heh suh samuh nuh ih kaliitan ah, amadi heh sah la arok angla, wikuh ih hoon adi nep ah.
And see, your relative Elizabeth--she also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
37 Rangte lajen reejih tumjih uh tajeeka.”
For no promise from God will be impossible of fulfilment."
38 “Ngah ah Teesu laksuh,” Meeri ih liita; “An ih baattu jun ih toom ang raaha nga sak nah ah.” Eno Rangsah ah mat khoomta.
"I am the Lord's maidservant," Mary replied; "may it be with me in accordance with your words!" And then the angel left her.
39 Erah lilih Meeri phangla ih kong akaan deek Judia ko nah kaat suh dokchapta.
Not long after this, Mary rose up and went in haste into the hill country to a town in Judah.
40 Heh Jekaria nok ni nop kah ano Elijabet suh jengseeraata.
Here she came to the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth;
41 Elijabet ih Meeri jengseeraata ah japchaat damdam, heh mong nawa noodek ah jaapmota. Elijabet ah Esa Chiiala pan angta
and as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the babe leapt within her. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
42 eno erongwah ih jengta, “An ah minuh loong dungni romseetam choh cho mina, erah dam ih an ih tupte noodek asuh uh romseetam choh cho!
and uttered a loud cry of joy. "Blest among women are you," she said, "and the offspring of your body is blest!
43 Arathan elong ah nga taang ni mame ang raak kohala, Teesu nuh anep nga jiinni jen chomui jih ah?
But why is this honour done me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 An jengseera ah japchaat damdam, nga mong nawa noodek ah nep roon ano wookla.
For, the moment your greeting reached my ears, the babe within me leapt for joy.
45 Teesu jengkhaap ah ansak nah amiisak ih ang raaha ih hanpi thoidoh an tumthan ih tenroonte anglu!”
And blessed is she who has believed, for the word spoken to her from the Lord shall be fulfilled."
46 Meeri ih liita, “Nga ten ih Teesu ah phoong ha;
Then Mary said: "My soul extols the Lord,
47 nga pangte Rangte suh nga la roonla,
And my spirit triumphs in God my Saviour;
48 tumeah heh ih ngah, ehin laksuh ah dokthun thoi ah! aadowa ih miloong ah ih ngah suh tenroon mina et poonhang,
Because He has not turned from His maidservant in her lowly position; For from this time forward all generations will account me happy,
49 tumeah Chaan apaan Rangte ih nga raang ih elongthoon moot ah reekot thoih ah. Heh men ah Esa;
Because the mighty One has done great things for me--Holy is His name!--
50 roosiit tokkhodi roosiit Heh ih heh soomtuute asuh minchan noisok ha.
And His compassion is, generation after generation, Upon those who fear Him.
51 Heh ih chaan apaan pan lak ah janghaat ano engaam ete loong nyia neng tenthun mongtham ah phaang thukla.
He has manifested His supreme strength. He has scattered those who were haughty in the thoughts of their hearts.
52 Heh ih chaan apaan luungwang loong ah neng tongtheng nawa dattong thuk ano; ehin loong ah toonjoh ah.
He has cast monarchs down from their thrones, And exalted men of low estate.
53 Heh ih ramtekte suh phaksat ese koha, eno changteng loong ah lak huung daap haat ha.
The hungry He has satisfied with choice gifts, But the rich He has sent empty-handed away.
54 Heh ih sengte sengwah suh kakham thiinta rah reeta, eno heh laksuh Ijirel ah chosok ra hala.
His servant Israel He has helped, Remembering His compassion--
55 Heh ih sengte Abraham nyia heh sutoom satoom loong asuh, rootang raang ih minchan noisokta ah samthunha!” (aiōn g165)
In fulfillment of His promises to our forefathers--For Abraham and his posterity for ever." (aiōn g165)
56 Meeri ah Elijabet damdi laajom roongtongta eno heh nok ni ngaakwangta.
So Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months, and then returned home.
57 Elijabet sah tup rangwuung thok haano, heh sah ah miwasah ih tupta.
Now when Elizabeth's full time was come, she gave birth to a son;
58 Hekhuung hetok nyia heh joonte sano loong ah ih chaat rum ano Teesu suh tumthan ih seela ih phoong rumta, eno neng ah heh damdi rapne ih roong roon rumta.
and her neighbours and relatives heard how the Lord had had great compassion on her; and they rejoiced with her.
59 Noodek ah saasinet ang adi, neng ah khoopkhan banlam hoon suh ra taha, eno heh men ah Jekaria, heh lilih et men theng ih liirumta.
And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and were going to call him Zechariah, after his father.
60 Enoothong heh nuh ih liita, “Tah angka! Heh men Joon et men theng.”
His mother, however, said, "No, he is to be called John."
61 Eno neng ih heh nuh asuh baat rumta, “Enoothong erah bah ante anwah men tah angka!”
"There is not one of your family," they said, "who has that name."
62 Eno neng ih heh wah suh neng tokmoot damdi cheng rumta, an ih mamet men ih doh se ah ih thunhu.
They asked his father by signs what he wished him to be called.
63 Jekaria ih eraangtheng jonglo ah suh ano, raangta, “heh men ah Joon.” Eno mirep rapne ih paatja rumta!
So he asked for a writing-tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they all wondered.
64 Erah tok adi Jekaria we mi dongjengta, eno Rangte rang ah phoongta.
Instantly his mouth and his tongue were set free, and he began to speak and bless God.
65 Hekhuung hetok joonte loong ah neng cho dongta, eno erah ruurang ah Judia hah kong akaan noongrep ni thok ruurang kata.
And all who lived round about them were filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judaea reports of all these things were spread abroad.
66 Warep ih erah tiit ah chaat rum ano samthun rumleh cheng et rumta, “Arah noodek ah mamah ih dong hakte angla?” Tumeah heh sak ni Teesu chaan aphaan ah samkhikhih angta.
All who heard the story treasured it in their memories. "What then will this child be?" they said. For the lord's hand was indeed with him.
67 Joon wah Jekaria ah Esa Chiiala pan angta, eno heh ih Rangte jengkhaap ah baatta:
And Zechariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke in a rapture of praise.
68 “Seng Teesu ah phoong ih Ijirel Rangte rah ah! Heh mina loong pang raangtaan ih ra taha eno neng ah puipangta.
"Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel," he said, "Because He has not forgotten His people but has effected redemption for them,
69 Heh ih seng suh chaan aphaan pan Khopiipangte kojah hali, Heh laksuh Dewid sutoom dowa ah.
And has raised up a mighty Deliverer for us In the house of David His servant--
As He has spoken from all time by the lips of His holy Prophets-- (aiōn g165)
71 Heh ih seng piiara nawa panghe, seng miksukte hang achaan nawa jen toonpang raang ih ah.
To deliver us from our foes and from the power of all who hate us.
72 Heh ih liita sengte sengwah loong ah heh ih tenthet et ah eno heh ih esa nuumiijeng ah dokthun ah.
He dealt pitifully with our forefathers, And remembered His holy covenant,
73 Sengte sengwah Abraham, suh kakhamta Heh ih seng piiara loong nawa pang et he eno seng ah heh mootkaat ah lacho thang ih moh thuk he,
The oath which He swore to Abraham our forefather,
To grant us to be rescued from the power of our foes And so render worship to Him free from fear,
75 eno ba seng ah heh ngah nah esa nyi epun jen ang ih seng roidong tang ih ah.
In piety and uprightness before Him all our days.
76 “Nga sah, an ah, Elong Echoong Rangte khowah ih poonho. An Teesu nganah kah uno heh raangtaan ih lam ban tan kah uh,
And you moreover, O child, shall be called Prophet of the Most High; For you shall go on in front before the Lord to prepare the way for Him,
77 heh mina loong suh neng rangdah loong ah biin anaan rum ano neng khopui tiit ah baat suh ah.
To give to His People a knowledge of salvation In the forgiveness of their sins,
78 Seng Rangte ah minchan nyia tenthet Rangte. Heh ih khopiiroidong ah rangsa phaakla likhiik ih phaak thukla,
Through the tender compassion of our God, Through which the daybreak from on high will come to us,
79 eno rang nawa ih warep kaangtook ah laamang nyia etek lampo ni tongte loong rah ah, seng khooteng lampo nah khoom thuk raangtaan ih ah.”
Dawning on those who now dwell in the darkness and shadow of death--To direct our feet into the path of peace."
80 Noodek ah hansi nyia chiiala ni rongtangtang ih hakta. Ijirel noksong damdi chomui suh rangwuung maang thokthok Joon ah woma mong ni tongta.
And the child grew and became strong in character, and lived in the Desert till the time came for him to appear publicly to Israel.
