Luka 1
1 Bananchima batikujitahidi beka katika mpangilio malongelo usu makowe ambago gabatimizike nkati yinu.
Inasmuch as many have taken in hand to arrange in order a narration about the deeds that have been brought to fullness among us,
2 Kati gabatupeile twenga, ambago tangu nkiogo nga masaidi wa minyo ni apangachi wa barua.
just as they delivered them to us, who became from the beginning eyewitnesses and servants of the word,
3 Na nenga kai, baada ya chunguza kwa lingulya chanzo cha makowe aga goti boka nkiogo-nibweni nzuri kwango kae kukuandikya katika mpangilio wake mheshimiwa muno Theofilo.
it occurred to me also, having followed closely from the beginning all things accurately, to write to thee in order, eminent Theophilus,
4 Linga wete uwese tanga ukweli wa makowe gaupundishilwe.
so that thou might know the certainty of the declarations about which thou were instructed.
5 Katika machoba ga Herode, mfalme wa Yudea, pabi ni mchungaji fulani akemelwa Zekaria, wa lukolo lwa Abiya. Nnyumbowe apitike kwa ainja ba Haruni, ni lina lyake amelwae Elizabeti.
It came to pass in the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a certain priest, named Zacharias, from the division of Abijah, and his wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
6 Boti babi ni haki nnonge ya Nnongo, batyangite bila lawama katika amri yoti ni malagano ga Ngwana.
And they were both righteous before God, going in all the commandments and righteous things of the Lord blameless.
7 Lakini babile ni mwana, kitumbu cha Elizabeti abi n'gumba, ni kipindi chii babi agoi muno.
And there was no child to them because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in their days.
8 Tumbwe yapitike Zakaria abi mu uwepe wa Nnongo, kayendelya na lyengo lya kiuchungaji katika utaratibu wa zamu yake.
But it came to pass during his service as a priest in the course of his division in the presence of God,
9 Lingana na desturi ya chawa achungaji ywako ywapala huduma, bachawii kwa kura jingya mu kanisa lya Ngwana ni apetutuya ubani.
that, according to the custom of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to burn incense after entering into the temple of the Lord.
10 Likundi lyoti lya bandu bende lola panja wakati wa tutuya ubani.
And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
11 Tumbwe malaika wa Ngwana atikumpitya ni kuyema upande wa mmalyo wa madhabahu ga tulukia.
And an agent of the Lord became visible to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Zakaria atiyogopa pamweni; hofu yatikuntumbukya.
And Zacharias having seen, was shaken, and fear fell upon him.
13 Lakini malaika amakiye, “kana uyogope Zakaria kwasababu luba kwako kuyuanike. nnyumbowo Elizabeti akupapya mwana, lina lyake wankema Yohana.
But the agent said to him, Fear not, Zacharias, because thy plea was heard, and thy wife Elizabeth will bear a son for thee. And thou shall call his name John.
14 Upapanga ni puraha ni changamka, ni banambone bapapulaikya belekwa kwake. Kwa kuwa apanga nkolo, nnonge ya minyo ga Ngwana.
And there will be joy and exultation for thee, and many will rejoice at his birth.
15 Hanywa kwaa wembe ni apanga atwilile Roho mpeletau tangu ndumbo ya mao bake.
For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he should, no, not drink wine and strong drink. And he will be filled of the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's belly.
16 Na bandu banambone ba Israel bapakun'galambukya Ngwana Nnongo wabe.
And he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God.
17 Ayenda nnonge ya kuminyo kwa Ngwana katika mwoyo ni ngupu ya Eliya. Apanga nyaa linga buyanganiya mioyo ya tate kwa bana linga bangali panga bayende katika hekima ya bene haki. Apanga nya kuabuka tayari Ngwana bandu ambabo babaandalilwe kwaajili yake.”
And he will go ahead, in front of him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn back the hearts of fathers toward children, and the disobedient in a mentality of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.
18 Zakaria amakiye malaika, “Ngawecha kwa tanga aga? Kwasababu nenga na n'goi na nyumbo wangu miaka yake yanambone muno.”
And Zacharias said to the agent, How will I know this? For I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days.
19 Malaika atiyangwa na kummakiya, “Nenga na Gabrieli, ambaye niyima nnongi ya Nnongo. Natitumilwa kukubakia, kukuletya habari yino nzuri.
And having answered, the agent said to him, I am Gabriel who stand in the presence of God. And I was sent to speak to thee, and to announce these good news to thee.
20 Na linga walongela kwaa, watama chichi, wawecha kwaa longela mpaka lichoba lilo gapapita makowe aga. Hayii kwasababu washindwi ubilya maneno gango ambago gapatimya kwa wakati waupalikwa.”
And behold, thou will be mute, and not able to speak until that day these things will come to pass, because thou did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.
21 Tumbwe bandu babanendaye Zakaria. Batichangala kwamba atumiaye muda wanambone mulikanisa.
And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and they wondered during his delay in the temple.
22 Lakini papitike panja hawechike kwaa longela nabo. Batangite apatike maono pabile mulikanisa ayendelyae tangya na na alongei kwaa.
And when he came out, he could not speak to them, and they recognized that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he was beckoning to them, and remained speechless.
23 Yapitike lichoba lya huduma yake yomoka aboi buyangana kachake.
And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
24 Baada ya Zakaria buyangana kachake boka kuhuduma yake mukanisa, nnyumbo wake abi ni ndumbo. Na ywembe aboi kwaa boka munyumba yake muda wa miei mitano. Abaite,
And after these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and she concealed herself five months, saying,
25 “Alii nga alipangite Ngwana apangi kwangu panilingite kwa upendeleo linga abuye oni yangu nnonge ya bandu.”
Thus the Lord has done to me during the days in which he looked, to take away my shame among men.
26 Nambiyambi katika mwei wa sita wa ndumbo ya Elizabeti, Nnongo amakiye malaika Gabrieli yenda nnema wa Galilaya walikemelwa Nazareti,
Now in the sixth month the agent Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 Kwa bikra ywabile akobikwe na nnalome ambaye lina lyake labile Yusufu, Ywembe abile ywa lukolo lwa Daudi na Lina lya bikra aywo labile Mariamu.
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary.
28 Aichi kwake na baya, “Salamu, wenga waupokile nnema ngolo! ywaakupendile Ngwana.”
And the agent having come in near her, he said, Hail, thou who are highly favored. The Lord is with thee, thou who are blessed among women.
29 Lakini malongelo ga malaika gatikunyangabana na haelewite kwaa kwanamani malaika alongei salaamu yii ya ajabu kwake.
But having seen, she was perplexed at his saying, and was pondering what kind of greeting this might be.
30 Malaika ammakiye, “Kana uyogope, Mariamu, maana upatike nema boka kwa Nnongo.
And the agent said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou have found favor with God.
31 Linga wapotwa ndumbo katika litumbo lyako na wapapa mwana. Na wenga upakunkema lina lyake 'Yesu'.
And behold, thou will conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son. And thou shall call his name JESUS.
32 Apanga nkolo na akemelwa mwana ywabile kunani muno, Ngwana Nnongo ampeya iteo ya enzi ya Daudi tate bake.
This man will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David.
And he will reign over the house of Jacob into the ages. And of his kingdom there will be no end. (aiōn g165)
34 Mariamu ammakiye malaika, lino lyapita kwa namna gani, kwa maana nagonja kwa ni nnalome yeyoti?
And Mary said to the agent, How will this be, since I know not a man?
35 Malaika kayangwa na kummakiya, “Roho mpeletau akuichila kunani yako, na ngupu ywa ywabile kunani muno yaicha kunani yako. Kwa nyoo, mpeletau ywa belekwa akemelwa Ngwana wa Nnongo.
And having answered, the agent said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee. Therefore also the holy thing that is begotten will be called the Son of God.
36 Linga nongo wako Elizabeti ai ni ndumbo wa mwana katika umri wa ugoi wake. Wuno nga mwei wa sita kwake, ambae bakemae n'gumba.
And behold, Elizabeth thy kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
37 Ntopo lya lishindikana kwa Nnongo”
For no word from God will be impossible.
38 Mariamu ngabaya, “Linga, Nenga na mpangakachi nnwawa wa Ngwana. Leka ibe nyo kwangu sawasawa ni malongelo gako,” Boka po malaika nga nnekite.
And Mary said, Behold the maid-servant of the Lord. May it happen to me according to thy word. And the agent departed from her.
39 Ndipo katika machuba go Mariamu ngaaboi ni yenda upesi katika ilambo ya itumbi, ilambo ya Yudea.
And having risen in these days, Mary went with haste into the hill country, into a city of Judah,
40 Ayei pa nnyumba ya Zakaria ni kuntaka hali Elizabeti.
and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.
41 Tumbwe yapitike pa yoine salamu ya Mariamu, mwana ndumbo yake atiguluka, ni Elizabeti atwilile Roho mpeletau.
And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her belly. And Elizabeth was filled of the Holy Spirit,
42 Apiyite lilobe lyake ni kabaya kwa lilobe likolo, ““Ubarikiwe wenga muno katika alwawa, ni mwana ywa bile mndumbo yako atibarikiwa.
and she exclaimed in a great voice, and said, Blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy belly.
43 Na ipangite kitiwi kwangu, mao wa Ngwana wango yapalikwe aiche kwangu?
And why is this to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me?
44 Kwa kuwa linga, paliyuanike mmachikilo gangu lilobe lya abari, mwana ndumbo yangu atighuluka kwa puraa.
For lo, when the voice of thy greeting happened in my ears, the babe leaped with joy in my belly.
45 Ni abarikiwe nwawa yulo ambaye aaminile wapita ukamilifu wa makowe galo ghabikiilwe boka kwa Ngwana.”
And blessed is she who believed, because there will be a fulfillment of the things that were spoken to her from the Lord.
46 Mariamu abayite mwoyo wango unnuba Ngwana,
And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 ni roho yango upulaikwe katika Nnongo mwokozi wango.
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 Kwa maana alingite hali yango ya pae ya mpanga kachi wake nnwawa. Linga, tangu nambiyambi katika babaelekwa boti bapakunikema wanibarikiwe.
because he has looked upon the lowliness of his bondmaid. For behold, from henceforth all generations will regard me blessed,
49 Kwa maana wembe ywan'gwechike apangite makoe makulu kwangu, na lina lyake ni lipeletau.
because the Mighty has done great things to me. And his name is holy.
50 Rehema yake yatitama buka kizazi hata kizazi kwa balo babamheshimu ywembe.
And his mercy is for generations of generations to those who fear him.
51 Ailangi ngupu kwa luboko lwake; atikuapalagana balo ambao bendekuipuna kunani ya mawacho ga mioyo yabe.
He did a mighty work by his arm. He scattered the proud in the mentality of their heart.
52 Atikuaeleya pae bana ba afalme boka katika iteo yabe ya enzi na kuakakatuya kunani babale hali yabe pae.
He brought down potentates from thrones, and raised up lowly men.
53 Atikubayutuya bene njala kwa ilebe inanoga, bali matajiri atiabenga maboko ga bure.
He filled those who are hungry with good things, and those who are rich he sent away empty.
54 Apiite msaada kwa Israel mtumishi wake, linga kumbukiya rehema.
He helped his boy Israel to be reminded of mercy,
just as he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and his seed into the age. (aiōn g165)
56 Mariamu atami na Elizabeti yatimi miei itatu nga abuyangine kachake.
And Mary dwelt with her about three months, and returned to her house.
57 Tumbwe wakati watimile kwa Elizabeti papa mwana wake akombwike mwana nnalome.
Now the time for Elizabeth was fulfilled for her to give birth, and she brought forth a son.
58 Majirani bake na alongela bayoine jinsi Ngwana mwaikuyite rehema kwake, na batipulaika pamope ni ywembe.
And her neighbors and her kinfolk heard that the Lord magnified his mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her.
59 Tumbwe lyapitike lichoba lya nane baichi kumwina mwana. Yapalikwe kumkema lina lyake, “Zakaria”, kwa kuzingatia lina lya tati bake,
And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling it by the name of his father Zacharias.
60 Lakini mao bake ayangwi ni kubaya, nyonyo kwaa, atikemelwa Yohana.”
And his mother having answered, said, No, but he will be called John.
61 Bammakiye ntopo hata yumo katika alongo ywa kemelwa lina lelo.”
And they said to her, There is no man among thy relatives who is called by this name.
62 Bampangii ishara tati bake ashilia ywembe apalike lina akemelwa nyai.
And they made signs to his father, whatever he wanted to call him.
63 Tati bake apalikwa kibao cha andikiya, na andika “lina lyake Yohana.” boti balichangala leno.
And having asked for a writing tablet, he wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled.
64 Gafula nkano wake watiyughulikwa na lulimi lwake lwapangite ulu. Atilongela ni kunnumba Nnongo.
And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue, and he spoke, praising God.
65 Woga watikuwachilya boti babatami karibu ni bembe.
And fear developed in all who dwell around them. And all these sayings were talked about in the entire hill country of Judea.
66 Makowe choti cha itumbi ya Yudea. Na boti babayowine batikugatunza mumioyo yabe, babayite, “mwana yu wa namna gani? kwasababu luboko lwa Ngwana wabile pamope ni ywembe.
And all who heard stored up in their heart, saying, What then will this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 Tate bake Zakaria atwilile ni Roho mpeletau na piya unabii, abayite,
And his father Zacharias was filled of the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
68 Alumbilwe Ngwana, Nnongo wa Israel, kwa sababu atikusaidia na shughulikiya wokovu kwa bandu bake.
Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, because he came to help, and made ransom for his people.
69 Atikakatulile mbembe ya wokovu katika, nyumba mpanga kachi wake Daudi, boka nkati mwa lukolo mwa mpanga kachi wake Daudi,
And he raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his boy David,
just as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, (aiōn g165)
71 Atukombwa boka kwa adui bitu na boka mwaboko mwa boti babachukya.
salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us,
72 Apangite nyaa langiya rehema kwa tati bitu, na kumbukya lilagano lyake takatifu.
to do mercy with our fathers, and his holy covenant to be remembered,
73 Kilapo cha kibayite kwa Abrahamu tati bitu.
the oath that he swore to Abraham our father, to give to us,
74 Atilapa thibitisha kwamba ywawechekana kumtumikiya ywembe bila yogopa, baada ya kombolelwa boka katika maboko ga adui bitu.
without fear from the hand of our enemies, having been saved to serve him
75 Katika utakatifu na haki nnonge ya machuba gitu goti.
in piety and righteousness before him all the days of our life.
76 E'lo, na wenga wa mwana, makemelwa nabii ywa ywabile kunani muno, kwa kuwa wayendelya nnongi ya kuminyo ya Nwana linga kumwandaliya ndila, kubaandaa bandu kwaajili ya icha kwake.
And thou, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High. For thou will go ahead, before the face of the Lord, to prepare his ways,
77 kubafahamisha bandu bake kwamba, bakombolelwa kwa ndila ya kuaminiya dhambi yabe.
to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins,
78 Lino lipapita kwa sababu ya lwongulwa Nnongo witu,
because of the bowels of mercy of our God, by which the dayspring from on high came to help us,
79 Kuamulikya kwabe babatama mulubindu na katika kiwili cha mauti, Apanga nyoo kugalongoya maghulu gitu katika ndila ya amani.”
to give light to those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into a way of peace.
80 Tumbwe yulo mwana atikula na panga mwene ngupu mu mwoyo na atami mmwitu mpaka machuba gapitike kwa Israel.
And the child grew, and became strong in spirit. And he was in the desolate regions until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
