Lukas 1
1 Ama Teofilus nene fee hadꞌat. Sodꞌa-moleꞌ. Atahori hetar sobꞌa suraꞌ dudꞌuit soꞌal dalaꞌ mana dadꞌiꞌ sia hai taladꞌa mara ena. Ara suraꞌ dudꞌuit ra, rendiꞌ dudꞌuit mana nenedꞌuiꞌ neu-nema mia hai, nisiꞌ hai ma sia hai eniꞌ a dalahulun, fo hai bubꞌuluꞌ mia Lamatuaꞌ Yesus atahori mana tungga nara, ma mia atahori feaꞌ mana rita no mata nara. Basa dudꞌuit naa ra, ndaa no Lamatualain hehelu-fufulin eniꞌ fai dalahulun. Dadꞌi au paresaꞌ lutuꞌ-leloꞌ basa dalaꞌ naa ra, eniꞌ a mia teteri-netehun. Dei de au uꞌetuꞌ fo suraꞌ basa naa ra no malole tungga tutute nara. No taꞌo naa, amaꞌ bisa bubꞌuluꞌ no matetuꞌ saa mana dadꞌiꞌ ena.
Seeing, indeed, that, many, had taken in hand to re-arrange for themselves a narrative, concerning the facts which have been fully confirmed amongst us, —
according as they who from the beginning became eye-witnesses and attendants of the Word delivered them unto us,
it seemed good, even to me, having closely traced from the outset all things accurately, to write unto thee, in order, most excellent Theophilus:
4 Ma amaꞌ o mumuhere, saa fo atahori ra dꞌuiꞌ naa, nda dudꞌui peko-lelekoꞌ sa. Basa naa ra, tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ dadꞌi!
that, as touching the matters which thou hadst been taught by word of mouth, thou mightest obtain full knowledge, of the certainty.
5 Dudꞌuit ia teteri-netehun taꞌo ia: leleeꞌ mane Herodes toꞌu parendaꞌ sia propinsi Yudea, hambu atahori sa, naran Sakaria. Eni, malangga agama Yahudi esa. Boe ma eni o, esa mia baꞌi Abia nononggoꞌ malangga agaman. Sakaria saon, naran Elisabet. Eni o tititi-nonosiꞌ mia malangga agama ra, huu eni ia, baꞌi Musa aꞌan Harun tititi-nonosin.
It came to pass, in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, that there was a certain priest, by name Zachariah, of the daily course of Abia; and that he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and, her name, was Elizabeth.
6 Ruꞌa se rasodꞌa ndoos tungga basa Lamatualain parendan ma hohoro-lalane nara. Atahori fee hadꞌat neu se boe.
Now they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and righteous appointments of the Lord, blameless;
7 Ruꞌa se lasiꞌ ena, te nda ma anaꞌ sa, huu Elisabet mamana anan maꞌatemeꞌ.
and they had no child, inasmuch as Elizabeth was barren, and, both, had become, advanced in their days.
8 Lao esa, Sakaria no nononggon Abia hambu babꞌanggi tao ues sia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ sia kota Yerusalem.
But it came to pass, as he was doing priestly service in the order of his daily course, before God,
9 Tungga sira hadꞌat na, malangga agama naa ra lea lot, fo rahine seka mana hambu babꞌanggiꞌ nisiꞌ kama Meumareꞌ sia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a. Sia naa, atahori naa musi dedꞌe hau maꞌameniꞌ sia Lamatualain matan. Faiꞌ naa, lot tudꞌa neu Sakaria.
according to the custom of his priesthood, it fell to his lot to offer incense, entering into the Temple of the Lord;
10 Boe ma ana rala neu. Leleꞌ ana hotu hau maꞌameniꞌ mia kama rala, atahori hetar hule-oꞌe sia ume sodꞌan.
and, all the throng of the people, was praying outside, at the hour of the incense offering.
11 Aiboiꞌ ma, Lamatualain aten esa mia sorga, nambariiꞌ sia mamana dedꞌe hau maꞌameniꞌ bobꞌoa onan.
And there appeared unto him a messenger of the Lord, standing on the right hand of the altar of incense;
12 Nita taꞌo naa, ma Sakaria namatau nae mate, de nda nitaꞌ nae tao saa sa boe.
and Zachariah was troubled when he beheld, and, fear, fell upon him.
13 Te ate mana mia sorga olaꞌ nae, “Sakaria! Afiꞌ mumutau e! Huu Lamatualain rena hule-oꞌem ena. Dadꞌi dei fo saom bꞌonggi fee nggo ana touꞌ sa. Musi babꞌae naran, Yohanis.
But the messenger said unto him—Do not fear, Zachariah! Inasmuch as thy supplication hath been hearkened to, —and, thy wife Elizabeth, shall bring forth a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name, John;
14 Dei fo atahori hetar ramahoꞌo ro nggi, huu hei hambu anaꞌ ena. Dei fo anaꞌ ia tao ralam namahoꞌo.
And there shall be joy to thee and exulting, and, many, over his birth, shall rejoice;
15 Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren koasan naꞌabꞌue no e, eniꞌ a maman nairu e. Ana musi naluli basa nininuꞌ mana nendi mamafut. Leleꞌ naꞌamoko dei fo Lamatualain, pake e dadꞌi atahori moko-monaen.
For he shall be great before the Lord, and, wine and strong drink, in nowise may he drink, and, with Holy Spirit, shall he be filled, already, from his mother’s womb;
16 Dei fo ana kokoe atahori Israꞌel hetar fo tungga baliꞌ sira Lamatuan, naeni Lamatualain.
And, many of the Sons of Israel, shall he turn towards the Lord their God;
17 Ndolu-hadꞌan ma koasan onaꞌ baꞌi Elia, naeni Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-olan eniꞌ a mia dalahulun. Ana nema naꞌahuluꞌ hita Lamatuan. Ana tao ama-inaꞌ ra rala nara sue baliꞌ ana nara. Ma atahori mana lao hela Lamatuaꞌ ena o, ana ubꞌa rala nara fo ara tungga baliꞌ Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun. No taꞌo naa, ana tao atahori ra sadꞌia rala nara fo simbo Lamatuaꞌ neneman.”
And, he, shall go before him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, —To turn the hearts of fathers unto children, and the unyielding, into the prudence of the righteous, and to prepare, for the Lord, a people made ready.
18 Te Sakaria natane baliꞌ ate a nae, “Bisa taꞌo naa, do?! Au ꞌo sao ngga lasiꞌ onaꞌ ia ena! Taꞌo bee fo au uhine basa ia ra bisa dadꞌi?”
And Zachariah said unto the messenger—Whereby, shall I know this? for, I, am, aged, and, my wife, advanced in her days.
19 Boe ma, ate a nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia! Au Gabriel, Lamatulain dedenun. Ana mana denu au uma, ufadꞌe hara-lii malolen neu nggo.
And the messenger, answering, said unto him—I, am Gabriel, —he that standeth near before God; and have been sent forth to speak unto thee, and to deliver the joyful message unto thee, as touching these things.
20 Te nda nau mumuhere oꞌola ngga sa. Dadꞌi tatandaꞌ fo moꞌeꞌ a taꞌo ia! Maa ma naꞌaꞌeꞌeku ma nda olaꞌ mala sa eniꞌ a mia oras ia, losa hambu mala anaꞌ naa. Dei fo mete neuꞌ ena. Saa fo au olaꞌ ia dei fo dadꞌi, nandaa no fain.”
And lo! thou shalt be silent, and not able to speak until the day when these things shall come to pass; because thou didst not believe in my words, —the which shall be fulfilled for their season.
21 Atahori hetar mana hule-oꞌe sia deaꞌ ra, duꞌa-duꞌaꞌ a, huu Sakaria nda nau kalua-kalua sa.
And the people were expecting Zachariah, and began to marvel that he should tarry in the Temple;
22 Leleꞌ ana dea nema, ana nda olaꞌ nala sa ena. Boe ma ana lalaes mbali se, ma rahine boe rae, Lamatuaꞌ natudꞌu e manadadꞌi manaseliꞌ sa mia Kama Meumare Manaseliꞌ a.
and when he came forth he was not able to speak unto them, and they perceived that, a vision, he had seen in the Temple, —and, he, continued making signs unto them, and remained dumb.
23 Ue-taos nara basa, boe ma Sakaria baliꞌ ume neu.
And it came to pass, when the days of his public ministration were fulfilled, that he departed unto his house.
24 Nda dooꞌ sa ma Elisabet nairu. Boe ma ana kama aon siaꞌ a ume losa fula lima. Ana olaꞌ nae, “Koa-kio Lamatuaꞌ! Mateꞌen ma Lamatuaꞌ natudꞌu rala malolen neu au ena. Mete ma au hambu tititi-nonosiꞌ ena, atahori nda raꞌamamaeꞌ au sa ena.”
And, after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she disguised herself five months, saying—
Thus, for me, hath the Lord wrought, —in the days in which he looked upon me, to take away my reproach among men.
26 Leleꞌ Elisabet ambun fula nee, boe ma Lamatualain haitua aten mia sorga, nisiꞌ kamboꞌ sa sia profinsi Galilea, naran Nasaret. Ate a naran, Gabriel.
Now, in the sixth month, was the messenger Gabriel sent forth from God, into a city of Galilee, the name of which was Nazareth, —
27 Sia Nasaret hambu ana fetoꞌ sa, naran Maria. Maria tunangan no touꞌ sa, naran Yusuf. Yusuf naa, mane Daud tititi-nonosin. Gabriel neu nandaa no Maria.
unto a virgin, betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and, the name of the virgin, was, Mary;
28 Ana natudꞌu aon neu ana fetoꞌ a, ma nae, “Sodꞌa-moleꞌ, ana feto! Lamatualain pili nala nggo, fo nae tao dꞌala maloleꞌ sa fee nggo. Lamatualain naꞌabꞌue no nggo, Maria.”
and entering in unto her, he said—Joy to thee, favoured one! The Lord, be with thee!
29 Maria rena nala naa, ma ana tintindindi no ate a oꞌolan. Ana nda nahine naa sosoan saa sa boe.
And, she, at the word, was greatly troubled, and began to deliberate, of what kind, this salutation, might be.
30 Boe ma ate a ola seluꞌ nae, “Maria! Afiꞌ mumutau. Te Lamatualain sangga nae natudꞌu rala malolen neu nggo.
And the messenger said unto her—Do not fear, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God, —
31 Nda doo sa te, muiru ena, Ma, dei fo bꞌonggi ana touꞌ sa. Ho musi babae naran, Yesus.
And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name, Jesus:
32 Dei fo Ana dadꞌi Atahori monaeꞌ. Dei fo Lamatuaꞌ noꞌe E nae, ‘Eni, Au Ana heheli ngga.’ Naeni, Lamatualain manaseliꞌ a anan. Dei fo Lamatualain soꞌu E fo toꞌu parendaꞌ, onaꞌ baꞌin, mane Daud.
the same, shall be great, and, Son of the Most High, shall be called, and the Lord God, will give unto him, the throne of David his father, —
33 Dei fo Eni mana toꞌu parendaꞌ nakandooꞌ a neu atahori Israꞌel ra. Huu parendan nda mana basaꞌ sa. (aiōn g165)
And he shall reign over the house of Jacob, unto the ages, and, of his kingdom, there shall be, no end. (aiōn g165)
34 Te Maria natane Gabriel nae, “Au, nda feꞌe sunggu o tou esa sa boe! Taꞌo bee fo au bisa uiru?”
But Mary said unto the messenger—How, shall this thing be, seeing that, a man, I know not?
35 Ma Gabriel nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia! Dei fo Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren nema nisiꞌ nggo. Ma Lamatualain Manaseliꞌ a koasan mboti nala nggo. No taꞌo naa, Anaꞌ, dei fo bꞌonggi malaꞌ naa, tebꞌe-tebꞌe meumareꞌ. Huu Eni, Lamatualain Anan.
And answering, the messenger said unto her—The Holy Spirit, shall come upon thee, and, the power of the Most High, shall overshadow thee; wherefore, even that which is to be born, Holy, shall be called, Son of God.
36 Afiꞌ titindindi! Te bobꞌonggi ma esa, naran Elisabet, nairu ena boe. Atahori rae ana nda bisa bꞌonggiꞌ sa, huu namalasi ena. Tao-tao te ia na ambun fula nee ena.
And lo! Elizabeth thy kinswoman, even she, hath conceived a son in, her old-age; —and, this month, is, the sixth, to her, the so-called barren one;
37 Huu, soaꞌ neu Lamatualain, basaꞌ e bisa dadꞌi!”
Because no declaration from God, shall be void of power.
38 Boe ma Maria nataa nae, “Malole. Au ia Lamatualain aten. Hela neu fo basa e dadꞌi tungga oꞌolam naa. Au sadꞌia tungga a Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun.” Basa ma ate mana mia sorga lao hela e.
And Mary said—Lo! the handmaid of the Lord! Might it come to pass unto me, according to thy declaration. And the messenger departed from her.
39 Seli fai hira ma, Maria lao halalai mia Nasaret nisiꞌ Zakaria kambon propinsi Yudea mamana mbuku leteꞌ. Losa naa ma, ana masoꞌ tuteꞌ nisiꞌ Sakaria umen rala. Ma ana fee hara sodꞌa-moleꞌ neu Elisabet.
And Mary, arising, in these days, journeyed into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah, —
and entered into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
41 Leleꞌ Elisabet rena Maria haran ma, anadikiꞌ a natingga-nasamba sia Elisabet ambun rala. Ma Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren masoꞌ nisiꞌ Elisabet boe.
And it came to pass that, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leapt in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with Holy Spirit, —
42 Boe ma ana olaꞌ nae, “Maria! Dei fo atahori ra soꞌu rananaru naram lenaꞌ basa inaꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia! Ma atahori o soꞌu rananaru Anaꞌ mana sia ambum rala boe!
and lifted up her voice with loud exclamation, and said—Blessed, art thou among women, and, blessed, is the fruit of thy womb;
43 Au o nene nenanaru boe, huu Lamatua ngga maman nema nandaa no au.
And, whence, to me is, this, That the mother of my Lord should come, unto me?
44 Leleꞌ rala uma fee hara sodꞌa-moleꞌ neu au, ma ana ngga natingga-nasamba tuteꞌ sia ambu ngga huu namahoꞌo.
For lo! as the sound of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe in my womb, leapt in exultation.
45 Lamatualain natudꞌu rala malolen neu nggo, huu mumuhere mae, Ana nae tao tungga hehelu-fufulin.”
And, happy, is she who hath believed, that there shall be a perfecting of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!
46 Maria olaꞌ nae, “Mia au rala ngga, au soꞌu unanaru Lamatuaꞌ
And Mary said—My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 Au rala ngga namahoꞌo, huu Lamatualain fee au masodꞌaꞌ!
And my spirit hath exulted upon God my saviour;
48 Ana tao mataꞌ neu au, atahori dedenun nda mana naꞌena sosoa-ndandaaꞌ ia sa. Mia leleꞌ ia basa atahori rae au ia, ina uanale maloleꞌ,
Because he hath looked upon the humbling of his handmaid; for lo! from the present time, all the generations, will pronounce me happy.
49 huu Lamatuaꞌ tao dala manaseliꞌ ra fee au. Eni, mana koasa manaseliꞌ no Meumaren manaseliꞌ.
Because he that is mighty hath done for me great things, and, holy, is his name;
50 Lamatualain akaꞌ natudꞌu rala susuen neu basa atahori mana fee hadꞌa-hormat ma beꞌutee neu E. mia tititi nonosiꞌ sa losa tititi nonosiꞌ laen.
And his mercy is unto generations and generations, to them who revere him;
51 Ana pake koasan, fo tao atahori mana koaoꞌ ra ramue-raanggiꞌ.
He hath wrought strength with his arm, He hath scattered men arrogant in the intention of their heart;
52 Ana naꞌatutudꞌaꞌ atahori mana toꞌu koasa ra, huu sira rananaru ao nara. Te Ana soꞌu nananaru atahori mana maloe-madꞌae rala nara.
He hath deposed potentates from thrones, and uplifted the lowly;
53 Ana nahao atahori mana ndoeꞌ ra losa raꞌabeta, te Ana oi hendi atahori mamasuꞌi ra lao ro lima rouꞌ
The hungry, hath he filled with good things, and, the wealthy, hath he sent empty away;
54 Ana tulu-fali atahori Israꞌel nara, ma akaꞌ natudꞌu rala susuen neu se.
He hath laid hold of Israel his servant, to be mindful of mercies:
55 Dalahulun, Ana tao hehelu-fufuliꞌ no bei-baꞌi tara, naeni, baꞌi Abraham no basa tititi-nonosi nara. Losa faiꞌ ia hehelu-fufuliꞌ naa feꞌe nenepaꞌaꞌ nakandoo.” (aiōn g165)
According as he spake unto our fathers, —To Abraham, and to his seed, —Unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
56 Basa de, Maria leo no Elisabet losa fula telu. Dei de ana baliꞌ nisiꞌ umen sia Nasaret.
And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her house.
57 Leleꞌ fain losa ma, Elisabet bꞌonggi ana touꞌ sa.
And, to Elizabeth, was the time fulfilled, that she should be bringing forth, —and she gave birth to a son.
58 Haraꞌ naa nenedꞌui-bꞌenggaꞌ losa bobꞌonggin ma basa kambo isiꞌ ra oi, Lamatualain natudꞌu rala malolen ma fee Elisabet anaꞌ sa. Ma basa se o ramahoꞌo boe.
And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard, that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
59 Anaꞌ naa fai falu ma, ara sunat e tungga atahori Yahudi ra adꞌat na. Ara rae babꞌae naran, Sakaria, tungga aman naran.
And it came to pass, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and were calling it, after the name of its father, Zachariah.
60 Te inan nda nau sa nae, “Nda taꞌo naa sa! Naran, musi Yohanis!”
And his mother, answering, said—Nay! but he shall be called, John.
61 Te rataa rae, “Saa de nauꞌ a naran Yohanis? Sia hei bobꞌonggi mara nda hambu esa naran onaꞌ naa sa boe!”
And they said unto her—There is, no one from among thy kindred, who is called by this name!
62 Boe ma ara laes Sakaria, fo rae rahine nae babꞌae anaꞌ a naran neu se.
And they began making signs unto his father, as to what he might be wishing it to be called.
63 Sakaria laes noꞌe fatu lei. Ara fee, de ana suraꞌ nae, “Naran Yohanis!” Boe ma basa atahori ra titindindii.
And, asking for a small tablet, he wrote, saying—John, is his name! and they marvelled all.
64 Aiboiꞌ ma, Sakaria maa maꞌaꞌeꞌekun, bangganaꞌu neuꞌ ena. Boe ma ana soꞌu koa-kio Lamatualain.
And his mouth was opened instantly, and his tongue [loosed], and he began to speak, blessing, God.
65 Basa atahori mana leo deka naa ra, ramatau ma heran. Boe ma dudꞌuit naa neneduiꞌ, losa basa atahori sia lete-leteꞌ propinsi Yudea ra o bubꞌuluꞌ boe.
And fear came upon all the neighbours themselves; and, throughout all the hill-country of Judaea, were all these matters being much talked of;
66 Atahori mana rena dudꞌuit naa, dꞌuꞌa-dꞌuꞌa rae, “Lamatualain koasan memaꞌ no anaꞌ ia, De naꞌamoko nema na, ana dadꞌi atahori onaꞌ beek o?”
and all who heard laid [them] up in their hearts, saying—What then shall his child be? for, even the hand of the Lord, was with him.
67 Basa ma, Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren masoꞌ nisiꞌ Sakaria. Naa de ana olaꞌ nae,
And, Zachariah his father, was filled with Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying: —
68 Koa-kio Lamatuaꞌ, atahori Israꞌel Lamatuan! Huu nema de tefa-soi nala atahori nara ena, naa fo ara afiꞌ onaꞌ ate fai.
Blessed, be the Lord, the God of Israel! Because he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,
69 Lamatuaꞌ soꞌu nala Atahori sa koasan manaseliꞌ, fo ana fee masodꞌaꞌ neu nggita. Eni ia, laoꞌ mia mane Daud tititi-nonosin.
And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us, In the house of David his servant:
70 Lamatuaꞌ helu basa ia ra eniꞌ a lele uluꞌ a, pake Eni mana ola-ola nara fo rala nara mana maꞌatataaꞌ ra. (aiōn g165)
According as he hath spoken by mouth of his holy ancient prophets, — (aiōn g165)
71 Ia naa nae mboꞌi nggita mia musu tara, ma atahori mana rala nara mera ro nggita.
Of salvation from among our foes, and out of the hand of all them that hate us:
72 Ana natudꞌu rala malolen neu bei-baꞌi tara, huu akaꞌ nasanedꞌa hehelu-fufulin neu se, fo Ana henggenee no baꞌi Abraham a.
To perform mercy with our fathers, and to be mindful of his holy covenant, —
The oath which he sware unto Abraham our father, To grant us,
74 Ana mboꞌiꞌ nggita mia musu tara ena, fo ata bisa beꞌutee neu E, ma sudꞌi tamatau fai.
without fear, from the hand of enemies rescued, to be rendering divine service unto him,
75 Ana mboꞌiꞌ nggita ena, fo tasodꞌa takandoo no ndoo-tetuꞌ ma meumareꞌ sia matan.
in lovingkindness and righteousness before him, all our days.
76 Yohanis! Ho ia, au ana ngga. Dei fo atahori rahine nggo rae, ho Lamatualain manaseliꞌ a mana ola-olan. Dei fo muu mufadꞌe atahori ra, fo ara simbo no malole Lamatuaꞌ neneman.
And, even thou, child, prophet of the Most High, shalt be called, —for thou shall march on before the Lord, to prepare his ways,
77 Dei fo muu mutudꞌu dalaꞌ neu Lamatuaꞌ atahori nara, fo bisa rahine rae, sira o bisa hambu masoi-masodꞌaꞌ boe, huu Lamatuaꞌ fee ambon neu sala-kilu nara ena.
Giving a knowledge of salvation unto his people, by a remission of their sins.
78 Huu Lamatuaꞌ ralan bꞌangganaꞌus ma sue-lai nggita, naa de Ana fee seluꞌ nggita kakaꞌe feuꞌ, onaꞌ fai feuꞌ nendi manggarelo feuꞌ. Hita mana leo-lao sia maꞌahatuꞌ a ma tamatau mate, huu nda feꞌe malole to Lamatuaꞌ sa, dei fo hambu manggareloꞌ fo nalalao nggita tisiꞌ dꞌala mole-dꞌameꞌ.”
Because of the yearning compassion of the mercy of our God, wherein shall visit us a day-dawn from on high, —
To shine on them who, in the darkness and shade of death, are sitting, to guide our feet into a way of peace.
80 Basa boe ma, Yohanis boe naꞌamoko. Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dalen tao e maꞌadere. Naꞌamoko nema, boe ma neu leo sia mamana rouꞌ, losa ana soꞌu ue-tataos na fee atahori Israꞌel ra.
And, the child, went on growing, and being strengthened in spirit, and was in the deserts, until the day he was pointed out unto Israel.
