Luka 1
1 Mtuwa Teufili. Wantu wavua wajeriti kulemba vitwatira vyavitendikiti pakati pa twenga.
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 Walembiti ntambu yawatugambiriti vilii vyawaviwoniti kwa masu gawu kwanjira pavyanjiti, na walii yawabweriti Shisoweru Shiwagira.
just as they delivered them to us, who became from the beginning eyewitnesses and servants of the word,
3 Su mkulu Teufili, toziya nuvigendiriti weri vitwatira vyoseri avi kwanjira pavyanjiti, mona ifaa na neni nukulemberi weri ntambu yayirawiriti.
it occurred to me also, having followed closely from the beginning all things accurately, to write to thee in order, eminent Theophilus,
4 Ntenda hangu, su na gwenga gupati kuvimana nakaka toziya ya vitwatira avi vyanukufunditi.
so that thou might know the certainty of the declarations about which thou were instructed.
5 Shipindi sha Herodi mfalumi gwa Yudeya, kuweriti na mkulu gwa numba ya Mlungu litawu lyakuwi wamshema Zakariya, yakaweriti gwa shipinga sha watambika sha Abiya. Mdala gwakuwi litawu lyakuwi wamshema Elizabeti nayomberi kaweriti gwa shiyiwuku sha mtambika Aruni.
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 Na woseri wawili waweriti wantu wa matendu gaherepa kulongolu kwa Mlungu, walikala pawagajimira malagaliru goseri ga Mtuwa.
And they were both righteous before God, going in all the commandments and righteous things of the Lord blameless.
7 Kumbiti weriti wahera nonu, toziya Elizabeti kaweriti mpendi, vinu woseri wawili waweriti wagogolu.
And there was no child to them because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in their days.
8 Lishaka limu Zakariya kaweriti kankutenda lihengu lyakuwi lya utambika Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, toziya shiweriti shipindi shakuwi sha kutambika.
But it came to pass during his service as a priest in the course of his division in the presence of God,
9 Kulawirana na vitiba vya watambika, Zakariya kasyagulitwi kwa kugalambuziya simbi kwingira Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu su katumiziyi 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 Shipindi Zakariya pakaweriti kankutumiziya ubani, lipinga lya wantu waweriti walivaga pamuhera kunja wankumluwa Mlungu.
And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
11 Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa kamlawiriti Zakariya, kagolokiti uwega wa kumliwu pashitalawanda sha kutambikira ubani.
And an agent of the Lord became visible to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Zakariya pakamwoniti, kalilimuka, kaweriti na lyoga.
And Zacharias having seen, was shaken, and fear fell upon him.
13 Kumbiti ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamgambiriti, “Nagutira Zakariya! Mlungu kapikanira kala kuluwa kwaku. Mdala gwaku Elizabeti hakakuleleri mwana mpalu. Na mwana ayu litawu lyakuwi gumshemi Yohani.
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 Yomberi hakaweri nemeru na nemeleru kwaku, wantu wavuwa hawaweri na nemeleru kwa kwiwuka kwakuwi.
And there will be joy and exultation for thee, and many will rejoice at his birth.
15 Yomberi hakaweri mkulu pamasu pa Mtuwa, hakalandi ndiri divayi ama ujimbi, yomberi hakamemi Rohu Mnanagala kwanjira mumtima mwa mawu gwakuwi.
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 Hakawatendi wantu wavuwa wa Israeli wamuwuyiri Mtuwa Mlungu gwawu.
And he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God.
17 Yomberi hakamlongoleri Mtuwa, hakaweri na makakala pamuhera na uwezu ntambu yakaweriti Eliya mbuyi gwa Mlungu. Hakawajegi kayi pamuhera wana na watati, hakawawuziyi wantu yawamjimira ndiri Mlungu kuwera na maholu ga wantu yawamfiriziya Mlungu na kumtandira Mtuwa wantu yawasyagulitwi.”
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 Zakariya kamkosiya ntumintumi gwa kumpindi, “Hanuvimani hashi shisoweru ashi? Toziya neni pamuhera na mdala gwangu twawagogolu.”
And Zacharias said to the agent, How will I know this? For I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days.
19 Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamwankula, “Neni Gaburieli yangoloka kulongolu kwa Mlungu, ndo kantuma ntakuli na gwenga na kukugambira shisoweru ashi shiwagira.
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 Vinu guloli! Toziya gujimira ndiri shisoweru shangu, ashi hashitendeki kwa shipindi shakuwi, vinu haguweri bubu, haguwezi ndiri kutakula mpaka lishaka lilii pashilawira shisoweru ashi.”
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 Lipinga lya wantu liweriti lyankumuhepera Zakariya na walikangasha kwa kukawa kwakuwi mulii Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu.
And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and they wondered during his delay in the temple.
22 Pakalawiti kasinditi kutakula nawomberi, nayomberi kendereyiti kuwalanguziya kwa mawoku hera, nawomberi wavimaniti kuwera kawoniti shintu Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu.
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 Pashiperiti kala shipindi shakuwi sha kutenda lihengu Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, kagenditi ukaya kwakuwi.
And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
24 Pa mashaka galii mdala gwakuwi Elizabeti kawera na yinda, kalikaliti mnumba kwa myezi muhanu,
And after these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and she concealed herself five months, saying,
25 kalitakuliti, “Vinu Mtuwa kamonera lusungu kwa kumusilira soni zyangu kulongolu kwa wantu.”
Thus the Lord has done to me during the days in which he looked, to take away my shame among men.
26 Yinda ya Elizabeti pasokiti myezi sita, Mlungu kamtumiti Gaburieli ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kagendi mpaka Galilaya, lushi lwa Nazareti.
Now in the sixth month the agent Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 Kaweriti na shisoweru kwa muhinga bikira yakahetitwi na muntu yawamshema Yosefu, gwa shiyiwuku sha Dawudi, litawu lyakuwi ayu bikira ndo Mariya.
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary.
28 Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamwiziriti Mariya na kumulamusiya, “Gwakashina? Ponga iweri pamuhera na gwenga! Mtuwa kapamuhera na gwenga, kakupanana upendelewu.”
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 Mariya kalisheliti nentu, toziya ya shisoweru sha ntumintumi gwa kumpindi, kaliholiti mumoyu pakalikosiya, “Kulamusiya aku kwana mana gaa?”
But having seen, she was perplexed at his saying, and was pondering what kind of greeting this might be.
30 Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamgambiriti Mariya, “Nagutira Mariya, Mlungu kakupapanana manemu.
And the agent said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou have found favor with God.
31 Guloli, haguweri na yinda na kwiwula mwana mpalu na litawu lyakuwi hagumshemi Yesu.
And behold, thou will conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son. And thou shall call his name JESUS.
32 Ayu hakaweri mkulu, hawamshemi mwana gwa Mlungu na Mtuwa Mlungu hakampanani shibanta sha ufalumi sha Dawudi mbuyi gwakuwi.
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.
33 Hakakolimlima lukolu lwa Yakobu mashaka goseri na ufalumi wakuwi hapeni uweri na upeleru.” (aiōn g165)
And he will reign over the house of Jacob into the ages. And of his kingdom there will be no end. (aiōn g165)
34 Mariya kamgambiriti ntumintumi gwa kumpindi, “Neni haneliwoni na mpalu! Hashiweri ashi shisoweru ashi?”
And Mary said to the agent, How will this be, since I know not a man?
35 Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamuwankula, “Rohu Mnanagala hakizi kwaku na makakala ga Mlungu hagakwizili. Toziya ayi mwana hakiwukili hakaweri mnanagala, hakashemwi Mwana gwa Mlungu.
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 Gumuholi mlongu gwaku Elizabeti, yomberi yawamshemiti mpendi kumbiti hakaleri mwana mpalu muugogolu wakuwi na mwezi agu ndo mwezi gwa sita kwa yinda yakuwi.
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 Toziya kwahera shintu shashikamala kwa Mlungu.”
For no word from God will be impossible.
38 Mariya katakula, “Neni na ntumintumi gwa Mtuwa! Iweri kwa neni ntambu ya gulongiti.” Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kawukiti na kugenda zakuwi.
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 Mashaka galii Mariya kawukiti kagenditi mpaka isi ya mulugongu lwa Yudeya.
And having risen in these days, Mary went with haste into the hill country, into a city of Judah,
40 Aku kingiriti mnumba mwa Zakariya na kamlamsiyiti Elizabeti.
and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.
41 Elizabeti pakapikaniriti ntambu Mariya yakamlamsiyiti, nonu kadunkula mumtima mwakuwi. Elizabeti kamemiti Rohu Mnanagala,
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 Elizabeti kalonga, “Gutekelerwa gwenga pakati pa wadala woseri na katekelerwi mwana hakiwukili mumtima mwaku.
and she exclaimed in a great voice, and said, Blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy belly.
43 Neni na gaa ata mawu gwa Mtuwa gwangu kanizili neni?
And why is this to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me?
44 Nakugambira, palaa pampikaniriti ntambu yagunamusiyiti, nonu kadunkula kwa kunemelera mumtima mwangu.
For lo, when the voice of thy greeting happened in my ears, the babe leaped with joy in my belly.
45 Mbaka gwenga toziya gujimira kuwera havitendeki vitwatira vyakakugambiriti Mtuwa.”
And blessed is she who believed, because there will be a fulfillment of the things that were spoken to her from the Lord.
46 Mariya kalonga, “Moyu gwangu gumkwisa Mtuwa,
And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 Na rohu yangu yankunemelera, Toziya Mlungu ndo Mlopoziya gwangu.
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 Toziya kamonera lusungu neni ntumintumi gwakuwi. Kwanjira vinu wantu woseri hawalongi Mlungu kantekelera,
because he has looked upon the lowliness of his bondmaid. For behold, from henceforth all generations will regard me blessed,
49 Toziya ya shintu shikulu shakantendera Mlungu. Litawu lyakuwi linanagala.
because the Mighty has done great things to me. And his name is holy.
50 Kawalanguziya lusungu lwakuwi Kwa walii yawampanana ligoya kwa shiyiwuku na shiyiwuku.
And his mercy is for generations of generations to those who fear him.
51 Katenda vitwatira vikulu kwa liwoku lyakuwi, Kawapalasiya yawawera na msindu pamuhera na mipangu ya myoyu yawu.
He did a mighty work by his arm. He scattered the proud in the mentality of their heart.
52 Kawasulusiya yawawera na likakala mu ukolamlima wawu, Na kawakweniziya wananagala.
He brought down potentates from thrones, and raised up lowly men.
53 Yawawera na njala kawayikutiziya vintu viherepa, Na walunda kawawusiya mawoku hera.
He filled those who are hungry with good things, and those who are rich he sent away empty.
54 Katenda shakatakuliti kwa wambuyi wetu wagona, Kiza kumtanga Israeli ntumintumi gwakuwi.
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 Mariya kalikaliti pamuhera na Elizabeti kwa shipindi sha myezi mitatu, shakapanu kawuyiti ukaya kwakuwi.
And Mary dwelt with her about three months, and returned to her house.
57 Shipindi sha Elizabeti kwiwura shisokiti, kiwuliti mwana mpalu.
Now the time for Elizabeth was fulfilled for her to give birth, and she brought forth a son.
58 Wantu wapakwegera wakuwi na walongu wakuwi pawapikaniriti visoweru viherepa vya kulikangasha Mtuwa vyakavitenditi kwa Elizabeti, womberi wanemeleriti pamuhera na yomberi.
And her neighbors and her kinfolk heard that the Lord magnified his mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her.
59 Palipititi lijuwa limu, womberi wiziti kumwingiziya jandu mwana, wafira kumpanana litawu lya tati gwakuwi, Zakariya.
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 Kumbiti mawu gwakuwi kalonga, “Hangu ndiri! Litawu lyakuwi hawamshemi Yohani.”
And his mother having answered, said, No, but he will be called John.
61 Wamgambira, “Kwehera muntu muwalongu waku yawamshema litawu ali!”
And they said to her, There is no man among thy relatives who is called by this name.
62 Wamlanguziyiti langaliru tati gwakuwi, wavimana ntambu hakamshemi.
And they made signs to his father, whatever he wanted to call him.
63 Zakariya kaluwiti shibawu na kalemba hangu, “Litawu lyakuwi ndo Yohani.” Kila muntu kalikangasha.
And having asked for a writing tablet, he wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled.
64 Pala palii Zakariya kanjiti kayi kutakula, kanjiti kumkwisa Mlungu.
And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue, and he spoke, praising God.
65 Lyoga lyayingiriti woseri yawalikaliti pakwegera nayomberi na visoweru avi vyoseri vyeniyiti muisi yoseri ya mulugongu mwa Yudeya.
And fear developed in all who dwell around them. And all these sayings were talked about in the entire hill country of Judea.
66 Woseri yawapikaniriti vitwatira avi, waliholiti mumyoyu mwawu pawalonga, “Mwana ayu hakaweri gwa ntambu gaa?” Toziya nakaka makakala ga Mtuwa hagaweri pamuhera nayomberi.
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 Zakariya, tati gwa Yohani kamemiziwiti Rohu Mnanagala, katungiti shisoweru shiwagira sha Mlungu.
And his father Zacharias was filled of the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
68 Tumkwisi Mtuwa, Mlungu gwa Israeli! Kiza kuwatanga wantu wakuwi na kuwakombola.
Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, because he came to help, and made ransom for his people.
69 Katupanana mlopoziya mkulu Mushiyiwuku sha Dawudi ntumintumi gwakuwi.
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 Hakatulopoziyi kulawa mumawoku mwa wangondu wetu na kutulaviya kulawa mumakakala mwa woseri yawatufira ndiri.
salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us,
72 Kalongiti hakawawoneri lusungu wambuyi wetu, na kulihola lipatanu lyakuwi linanagala.
to do mercy with our fathers, and his holy covenant to be remembered,
73 Kulirapa kwakamlapiriti Aburahamu mbuyi gwetu,
the oath that he swore to Abraham our father, to give to us,
74 kuwera hakatutangi twenga tulopoziwi kulawa kwa wangondu wetu. Katugambira tumtenderi Mlungu pota na lyoga,
without fear from the hand of our enemies, having been saved to serve him
75 tuweri wananagala yatumfiriziya Mlungu mashaka goseri ga makaliru getu.
in piety and righteousness before him all the days of our life.
76 “Na gwenga mwana gwangu, hawakushemi mbuyi gwa Mlungu kakumpindi nentu. Toziya hagumlongoleri Mtuwa kumnyawila njira yakuwi,
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 haguwagambiri wantu wakuwi kuwera hawalopoziwi kwa kuwawusilira vidoda vyawu.
to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins,
78 Mlungu gwetu mnanagala na yakawera na lusungu. Hakatulavilili gulangala gwa ulopoziya kulawa kumpindi,
because of the bowels of mercy of our God, by which the dayspring from on high came to help us,
79 na kawalangazira woseri yawalikala muluwindu lwa kuhowa, na kuwalonguziya magulu getu munjira ya ponga.”
to give light to those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into a way of peace.
80 Mwana kendereyiti kukula nshimba na kuwera na makakala murohu. Kalikaliti kushiwala mpaka lishaka lya kuliranguziya mweni kwa wantu wa Israeli.
And the child grew, and became strong in spirit. And he was in the desolate regions until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
