Luka 1
1 Mangleja Teofile, sar so džane, but džene lije te pisin tare kova so sasa, so o Dol obećisada prekale prorokura, a ćerdilo maškar amende.
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 Pisisade amenđe kola save korkore dikhlje vadži tare anglune đivesa thaj ćerdile sluge e Devlese Lafese,
3 gija i me, mangleja Teofile, tuće pisiv sa redasa, golese so sa taro anglunipe ispitujisadem,
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 te šaj ave uverimo kaj si čačipe kova so sikade tut.
I want you to know the truth about what you have been taught {what others have taught you}.
5 Kana sasa o Irod caro ani Judeja, nesavo manuš savo akhardola Zaharija sasa svešteniko tare Avijineso redo. Lesi romni sasa tari kuštik e Aaronesi thaj akhardola Jelisaveta.
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 Solduj džene sesa čačutne anglo Dol thaj živisade pale zapovestura thaj palo Zakon e Gospodeso bizo nisavo bilačhipe.
[God considered that] both of them were righteous, because they constantly completely obeyed everything that God had commanded.
7 Al len ni sesa čhave, golese kaj i Jelisaveta naštine te ačhol khamni, a solduj džene sesa već purane.
But they had no children, because Elizabeth had been unable to bear children. Furthermore, she and her husband were very old.
8 Jekh đive, o Zaharija služisada e Devle ano Hram golese kaj palo dužnost sasa leso redo,
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 golese so, palo adeti e sveštenikurengo birisade le kockasa te džal ano Hram e Gospodeso te kadil.
Following their custom, [the other priests] chose him by lot to enter the Lord’s temple and burn incense.
10 Kana o Zaharija dija ano Hram te kadil, but manuša molisajle avral.
While he was burning the incense, many people were outside [in the courtyard], praying.
11 Tegani e Zaharijase sikadilo o anđelo e Gospodeso savo ačhilo ki desno rig taro žrtveniko e kadimaso.
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 Kana o Zaharija dikhlja le, uznemirisajlo thaj but darajlo.
When Zechariah saw the angel, he was startled and became very afraid.
13 Al o anđelo vaćarda lese: “Ma dara, Zaharije! Ćiri molitva sasa šundi. Ćiri romni i Jelisaveta ka bijanol murše thaj tu ka de le alav Jovan.
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 Tu ka ave radosno thaj baxtalo thaj but džene ka aven blagoslovime lese bijandimasa,
He will cause you to be very happy, and many other people will also be happy because he is born.
15 golese kaj vov ka avol baro anglo Gospod. Nikad ni ka pijol mol ni zuralo pijipe. Vov ka pherdol e Svetone Duxosa dok si ano vođi pe dako.
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 O Jovane bute Izraelcuren ka iril anglo Gospod, angle lengo Dol.
He will [persuade] many people in Israel to turn away [from their sins and please] the Lord their God.
17 Vov ka džal anglo Gospod sar glasniko ano Duxo thaj ano zuralipe e prorokoso e Ilijaso. Ka miril e ile e dadenđe premale e čhave thaj ka iril kolen save ni šunen ano gođaveripe e pravednikurengo. Sa kava ka ćerol te pripremil e manušen te šaj aven spremna e Gospodese avimase.”
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 O Zaharija vaćarda e anđelose: “Pale soste me gova ka džanav? Golese kaj sem purano thaj mingri romni si bute beršenđi.”
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 O anđelo phenda lese: “Me sem o Gavrilo, o anđelo savo ačhol anglo Dol. Bičhaldo sem te vaćarav tuće kava lačho lafi.
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 Akh, ka ave laloro thaj ni ka vaćare dži gova đive dži kaj sa gova ni ćerdol, golese so ni pačajan ane mingre lafura save ka pherdon ano pravo vreme.”
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 E manuša ađućarde e Zaharija thaj čudisajle sose gaći majisajlo ano Hram.
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 Al kana o Zaharija iklilo, naštine te vaćarol. Vov dija len znakura golese kaj sasa laloro. Gija e manuša haljarde kaj sasa le vizija ano Hram.
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 Kana nakhle e đivesa lese služimase ano Hram, o Zaharija đelo čhere.
When Zechariah’s time to work [as a priest in the Temple] was finished, he [left Jerusalem and] returned to his home.
24 Pale kala đivesa i Jelisaveta lesi romni ačhili khamni thaj ni iklili avral taro čher pandž čhon.
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 Golese i Jelisaveta vaćarda: “Gija ćerda manđe o Gospod! Ane kala đivesa sikada manđe po milost thaj uljarda mandar i ladž maškare manuša kaj ni sasa man čhave.”
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 Kana i Jelisaveta sasa šovto čhon khamni, o Dol bičhalda e anđelo e Gavrilo ano Galilejsko foro o Nazaret
When Elizabeth had been [pregnant] [EUP] [for almost] six months, the angel Gabriel was sent by God {God sent the angel Gabriel} [again].
27 ki čhej i Marija savi sasa mangli romese e Josifese savo sasa tari kuštik e carosi e Davidesi.
[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 Kana o anđelo o Gavrilo avilo late, phenda: “Av radosno, tu so arakhljan milost. O Gospod si tusa. [Blagoslovimi san maškare džuvlja!]”
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 I Marija but darajli tare lese lafura thaj dija gođi savo sasa kava pozdrav.
But Mary was very confused [when she heard] that. She wondered what [the angel meant] by these words.
30 Al o anđelo o Gavrilo phenda laće: “Ma dara, Marijo! Golese kaj arakhljan milost anglo Dol.
Then the angel said to her, “Mary, God is very pleased with you [(sg)], so do not be afraid.
31 Akh, ka ačhe khamni, ka bijane čhave thaj ka de le alav Isus.
You will become pregnant and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus.
32 Vov ka avol baro thaj ka akhardol Čhavo e Embare Devleso. O Gospod o Dol ka dol le o presto lese paradadeso e Davideso.
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 Vov ka carujil ane kuštika e Jakovese ane sa e đivesa thaj lese carstvose ni ka avol krajo.” (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 Tegani i Marija pučlja e anđelo: “Sar ka avol gova kana sem me vadži čhej?”
Then Mary said to the angel, “I am a virgin, so how can I [have a baby]?”
35 O anđelo o Gavrilo vaćarda laće: “O Sveto Duxo ka avol pe tute thaj o zuralipe e Embare Devleso ka učharol tut. Golese kaj o čhavoro so ka bijandol ka avol sveto thaj ka akhardol Čhavo e Devleso.
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 Akh, i ćiri bibi i Jelisaveta ačhili khamni ane purane berša thaj ka bijanol murše. E manuša vaćarde kaj voj naštine te ačhol khamni, al akana si šov čhon khamni.
[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 Golese kaj o Dol šaj te ćerol sa so phenol!”
[You should not be surprised at that], because God can do everything!”
38 I Marija phenda: “Ake, me sem sluškinja e Gospodesi. Nek avol manđe palo ćiro lafi!” Thaj o anđelo đelo latar.
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 Pale gola đivesa i Marija spremisajli thaj siđarda ani bregali phuv ano foro e Judejako.
Very soon after that, Mary got ready and went quickly to a town in the highlands of Judea [district] where Zechariah lived.
40 Kana resli odori, đeli ano čher e Zaharijaso thaj pozdravisajli e Jelisavetasa.
She entered his house and greeted [his wife] Elizabeth.
41 Kana i Jelisaveta šunda e Marijako pozdrav, čhelda o čhavo ane lako vođi thaj i Jelisaveta pherdili Svetone Duxosa.
As soon as Elizabeth heard Mary greet her, the baby moved inside [Elizabeth’s] womb. The Holy Spirit took complete control of Elizabeth,
42 Andare sa o glaso vaćarda e Marijaće: “Emblagoslovimi san maškare sa e džuvlja thaj blagoslovimo si o čhavo ane ćiro vođi.
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 Kotar manđe kava čast kaj tu, i dej mingre Gospodesi, aviljan ke mande?
(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 Golese dikh, kana šundem ćiro pozdrav, taro radost čhelda o čhavoro ane mingro vođi.
[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 Blagoslovimi san tu so pačajan kaj ka pherdol kova so vaćarda tuće o Gospod!”
[God] is pleased with you [because] you believed that what (the Lord/God) told you would come true.”
46 Tegani i Marija vaćarda: “Slavil mingri duša e Gospode!
Then Mary [praised God by] saying/singing: “, how I [SYN] praise (the Lord/God)!
47 Mingro duxo veselil pe ano Dol, ane mingro Spasitelji,
I am happy because God is the one who saves me.
48 golese so sasa milostivno e poniznone sluškinjaće. Golese dikh, od akana ka akharen man blagoslovimi sa e kuštika.
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 Golese so ćerda manđe baro šukaripe o Zuralo Dol. Sveto si leso alav!
because they will hear about the things that God [MTY], the mighty one, has done for me. He [MTY] is awesome!
50 Vov si milostivno sa e manušenđe tari kuštik dži i kuštik, kolenđe save daran lestar.
He acts mercifully toward all those who respect him.
51 Pe vastesa sikada piro zuralipe, čhudija pestar kolen save si barikane ane ile thaj ani gođi.
He shows people that he [MTY] is very powerful. He scatters those who think proudly.
52 Čhudija e vladaren taro lengo presto, thaj vazdija e poniznonen.
He does not let mighty kings rule [MTY] any more, but he honors people who are oppressed (OR, humble).
53 E bokhalen čaljarda šukarimasa, a e barvalen mukhlja čuče vastencar.
He gives good things to eat to those who are hungry, but he sends away the rich people without giving them anything.
54 Pomožisada e Izraele, ćire sluga, golese kaj dol pe gođi taro milost,
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 sar so obećisada amare paradadenđe, e Avraamese thaj lese potomkurenđe ane sa e đivesa.” (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 I Marija bešli e Jelisavetasa paše trin čhon thaj pale gova irisajli čhere.
Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months. Then she returned to her home.
57 Kana i Jelisavetaće avilo o sato te bijanol, bijanda čhave.
When it was time for Elizabeth to give birth to her child, she bore a son.
58 Laće pašutne thaj lačhi familija šunde kaj o Gospod sikada laće baro milost thaj radujisajle lasa.
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 Kana e čhavore sesa ohto đive, avile te ćeren lese suneti thaj manglje te den le alav lese dadeso – Zaharija.
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 Al i Jelisaveta vaćarda: “Na, leso alav ka avol Jovan!”
But his mother said, “No, [his name will not be Zechariah]. His name will be John!”
61 Von phende lačhe: “Naj tut khoni ani ćiri familija gole alavesa!”
[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 Tegani vastencar pučlje e dade e Zaharija sar bi vov manđola te avol leso alav.
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 Thaj o Zaharija manglja khanči pe soste šajine te pisil thaj pisisada: “Jovan ka avol leso alav.” Thaj savore čudisajle.
[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 Tare jekh drom putardilo leso muj thaj lesi čhib, tegani o Zaharija lija te vaćarol thaj lija te slavil e Devle.
Immediately Zechariah was able to speak again [MTY], and he praised God.
65 I dar e Devlesi avili ane sa lenđe pašutne thaj ki sa i bregali Judeja vaćarda pe tare kava so sasa.
All their neighbors were amazed/awestruck! They told other people who lived all over the highlands of Judea about what had happened.
66 Savore so šunde gova, dije gođi tare gova thaj phende: “So ka avol tare kava čhavo? Golese so o va e Gospodeso sasa pe leste.”
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 O Zaharija, e Jovaneso dad, pherdilo e Svetone Duxosa thaj prorokujisada:
[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 “Blagoslovimo si o Gospod o Dol e Izraeleso, golese so avilo thaj otkupisada e manušen!
“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 Vazdija amenđe e zurale Spasitelje, tari kuštik e carosi e Davidesi, pe slugase,
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 kaj ka ikalol amen tare amare dušmanura thaj tare vasta savorenđe save mrzin amen.
He will rescue us from our enemies, and he will save us from the power of all those who hate us.
72 Sasa milosno amare paradadenđe, thaj ispunisada piro sveto savez,
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 savez savo dija e Avraamese amare paradadese,
That is what he strongly promised our ancestor Abraham that he would do.
74 te ikalol amen tare vasta amare dušmajenđe, te šaj služi e Devle bizi dar,
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 ano svetost thaj ano pravednost angle leste sa dok sam džuvde.
that he would cause us to be completely dedicated to him, and enable us to live righteously all of our lives.”
76 A tu Jovane, čhaveja mingreja, ka ave akhardo proroko e Embare Devleso, golese so ka dža anglo Gospod te pripremi lese o drom.
[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 Ka sikave lese manušen sar te pindžaren o spasenje prekalo oproštenje tare lenđe grehura.
You will tell God’s people how he will forgive them and save them from being punished for their sins.
78 Golese so si e Devleso ilo milostivno, tare savo ka avol amenđe o svetlost e sabalinako tari visina,
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 te svetlil kolenđe so bešen ano kalipe thaj ani sena e merimasi, a amare pingre te usmeril ko drom taro mir.”
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 A o čhavoro o Jovane barilo thaj zurajlo duxosa. Kana barilo, đelo ani pustinja sa dži kaj ni iklilo angle Izraelcura te propovedil.
[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.
