Luke 1
1 Go tsala e e ratang Modimo. Dipolelo tse dintsi kaga Keresete di setse di kwadilwe di dirisiwa ka maitshegeletso a tsone jaaka dipolelo mo go rona go tswa mo barutweng ba pele le ba bangwe ba ba di boneng ka matlho.
Njengoba abanengi sebebeke izandla ukubeka ngendlela efaneleyo ukulandiswa kwezinto eziqiniseke ngokupheleleyo phakathi kwethu,
njengalokhu basinika labo ababonayo ngamehlo ekuqaleni njalo bezinceku zelizwi,
3 Le fa go ntse jalo, go ne ga diragala mo go nna gore go ka siama fa nka boelela dipolelo tse gape go simolola ka palo ya ntlha go ya kwa go ya bofelo morago ga tlhotlhomiso tota ke be ke lo bolelela polelo e.
kukhanye kukuhle lakimi, sengizihlolisisile zonke izinto kusukela ekuqaleni, ukuthi ngikubhalele ngokulandelana, mhlekazi Teyofilu,
4 Go lo tlhomamisetsa boammaaruri kaga se lo se rutilweng.
ukuze wazi iqiniso ngalezozinto ozifundisiweyo.
5 Polelo ya me e simologa ka Moperesiti wa Sejuta, ebong Sakarea yo o tshedileng ka lobaka lwa Herode e le kgosi ya Judea. Sakarea e ne e le leloko la batsamaisi ba Tempele ya ga Abija, (mosadi wa gagwe Elisabetha le ene o ne a tshwana le ene e le leloko la baperesiti ba morafe wa Sejuta, wa losika lwa ga Arone.)
Ensukwini zikaHerodi inkosi yeJudiya kwakukhona umpristi othile othiwa nguZakariya, oweqembu likaAbhiya; lomkakhe wayevela kumadodakazi kaAroni, lebizo lakhe linguElizabethi.
6 Sakarea le Elisabetha e ne e le batho ba ba boifang Modimo, ba tlhokometse go utlwa melao yotlhe ya Modimo mo moweng le mo lokwalong.
Njalo babelungile bobabili phambi kukaNkulunkulu, behamba ngayo yonke imilayo lezimiso zeNkosi, bengasoleki.
7 Mme ba ne ba sena bana, gonne Elisabetha e ne e le moopa; mme ka bobedi jwa bone ba bo ba tsofetse thata.
Njalo babengelamntwana, ngoba uElizabethi wayeyinyumba, basebeleminyaka eminengi bobabili.
8 Ka letsatsi lengwe ya re Sakarea a tsamaisa tiro ya gagwe mo Templeng, gonne lesomo la gagwe le ne le le mo tirong mo bekeng eo, tlotlego ya mo tlela ya go tsena mo felong ga Boitshepo go ya go fisa mashwalo fa Pele ga Modimo.
Kwasekusithi esenza inkonzo yobupristi phambi kukaNkulunkulu esesimisweni seqembu lakibo,
ngomkhuba wenkonzo yobupristi, nguye owadliwa yinkatho yokutshisa impepha esengene ethempelini leNkosi.
10 Ka lobakanyana, bontsi jwa kokoano ya batho jwa emela kwa ntle ga Tempele, ba rapela jaaka ba tle ba dire fa mashwalo a fisiwa.
Njalo ixuku lonke labantu lalikhuleka ngaphandle ngesikhathi sokutshisa impepha.
11 Sakarea o ne a le mo felong ga boitshepo fa ka tshoganetso Moengele a iponatsa mo go ene, a eme ka fa letsogong le legolo la sebeso sa ma-shwalo! Sakarea o ne a tshogile ebile a gamaregile.
Ingilosi yeNkosi yasibonakala kuye, imi ngakwesokunene selathi lempepha.
Kwathi uZakariya eyibona waqhuqha, lokwesaba kwawela phezu kwakhe.
13 Mme moengele a mo raya a re, “Se boife, Sakarea! Gonne ke tletse go go bolelela gore Modimo o utlwile thapelo ya gago le mosadi wa gago Elisabetha o tlaa tshola ngwana wa mosimane! Mme o tlaa mo raya leina o re Johane.
Kodwa ingilosi yathi kuye: Ungesabi Zakariya; ngoba umkhuleko wakho uzwakele, lomkakho uElizabethi uzakuzalela indodana, njalo uzakuthi ibizo layo nguJohane.
14 Ka bobedi jwa lona lo tlaa nna le boipelo jo bogolo le boitumelo ka botsalo jwa gagwe, mme ba le bantsi ba tla ipela le lona.
Futhi uzakuba lenjabulo lentokozo, labanengi bazakujabulela ukuzalwa kwakhe.
15 Gonne e tlaa nna mongwe wa batho ba bagolo ba Morena. A se ka a nwa mofine kgotsa seno se se tagisang-gonne o sa le a tladitswe ka Mowa o o Boitshepo, le e leng pele ga a tsalwa!
Ngoba uzakuba mkhulu phambi kweNkosi, iwayini kanye lokunathwayo okulamandla kasoze akunathe, futhi uzagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele kusukela esesesiswini sikanina.
16 Mme o tlaa tlhotlheletsa Bajuta ba le bantsi go sokologela mo go Morena Modimo wa gagwe.
Labanengi kubantwana bakoIsrayeli uzabaphendulela eNkosini uNkulunkulu wabo;
17 E tlaa nna motho yo o mowa o makgawekgawe a nonofile jaaka Elija, moporofiti yo mogolo; mme o tlaa etelela pele go tla ga ga Mesia, a baakanyetsa batho go goroga ga gagwe. O tlaa ba ruta go rata Morena fela jaaka bagolwane ba bone ba ne ba dira, le go tshela jaaka batho ba ba boifang Mo-dimo.”
njalo yena uzahamba phambi kwayo emoyeni lemandleni kaElija, ukuphendulela inhliziyo zaboyise kubantwana, labangalaleliyo ekuhlakanipheni kwabalungileyo, ukulungiselela iNkosi isizwe esilungisiweyo.
18 Hong Sakarea a raya moengele a re, “Mme mo ga go kgonege! Ke setse ke le monna mogolo jaanong, le mosadi wa me le ene o tsofetse.”
UZakariya wasesithi kuyo ingilosi: Ngizakwazi ngani lokhu? Ngoba mina ngilixhegu, lomkami useleminyaka eminengi.
19 Hong moengele a mo raya a re, “Ke Gabariele ke eme sentle fa pele ga Modimo. Ke one o o ntho-mileng kwa go wena ka mafoko a a molemo a!
Ingilosi yasiphendula yathi kuye: NginguGabriyeli mina, omayo phambi kukaNkulunkulu; njalo ngithunyiwe ukukhuluma lawe, lokukubikela lezizindaba ezinhle.
20 Mme jaanong, ka gore ga o a ka wa ntumela, o tlaa dirwa semumu, o tlaa palelwa ke go bua go fitlhelela ngwana a tsholwa. Gonne mafoko a me a tlaa diragala ka nako e e leng yone.”
Njalo khangela, uzakuba yisimungulu njalo wehluleke ukukhuluma, kuze kube lusuku okuzakwenzeka ngalo lezizinto, ngenxa yokuthi ungakholwanga amazwi ami, azagcwaliseka ngesikhathi sawo.
21 Ka lobakanyana kokoano ya batho kwa ntle ba bo ba letile Sakarea go boa, ebile ba gakgametse gore ke eng fa a diegile.
Labantu babemlindele uZakariya; bamangala ngokuphuza kwakhe ethempelini.
22 Ya re a tswa a bo a palelwa, ke go bua nabo, jalo ba lemoga fa a bonye ponatshegelo mo tempeleng. Ene a nna a ba gwetlha fela a ntse.
Kuthe esephuma wehluleka ukukhuluma labo; njalo bazi ukuthi ubone umbono ethempelini; njalo yena wayesebaqhweba, wahlala eyisimungulu.
23 Hong a nna mo Tempeleng selekanyo sa malatsi a a setseng a tiro ya gagwe ya Tempele mme morago a boela gae.
Kwasekusithi seziphelile insuku zokukhonza kwakhe, waya endlini yakhe.
24 Ka bonako morago ga lobaka Elisabetha mosadi wa gagwe a ithwala a nna a le nosi selekanyo sa kgwedi tse tlhano.
Kwathi emva kwalezonsuku uElizabethi umkakhe wathatha isisu, wazifihla okwezinyanga ezinhlanu, esithi:
25 “A goa” a re, “Morena o pelotlhomogi mo go kae, go ntsha tlotlologo ya me ya go tlhoka bana!”
Yenze kanje kimi iNkosi ensukwini eyangikhangela ngazo ukususa ihlazo lami phakathi kwabantu.
26 Kgwedi e e latelang Modimo wa roma moengele Gabariele kwa Nasaretha, motse wa Galalea,
Kwathi ngenyanga yesithupha ingilosi uGabriyeli yathunywa nguNkulunkulu emzini weGalili othiwa yiNazaretha,
27 kwa kgarebaneng, Marea, yo o neng a beeletswe go nyalwa ke monna yo o neng a bidiwa Josefe, wa lotso lwa ga Kgosi Dafide.
entombini eyayigane indoda, ebizo layo lalinguJosefa, eyendlu kaDavida; lebizo lentombi linguMariya.
28 Gabariele a iponatsa mo go ene a re, “A go nne boitumelo kgarebane e e rategang! Morena o na le wena!”
Ingilosi yasingena kuye yathi: Ekuhle, wena othandiweyo! INkosi ilawe, ubusisiwe wena phakathi kwabesifazana.
29 Marea o ne a tshwenyegile thata fa a leka go akanya se moengele a ka neng a se raya.
Kwathi eseyibonile wethuswa kakhulu yilizwi layo, wanakana ukuthi yikubingelela okunjani lokhu.
30 Moengele a mo raya a re, “Se tshoge Marea, gonne Modimo o thata.
Ingilosi yasisithi kuye: Ungesabi, Mariya; ngoba uthole uthando kuNkulunkulu.
31 Ka bonako jaanong o tlaa ithwala mme o tlaa nna le ngwana wa mosimane, mme o tlaa mo raya leina o re ‘Jesu’
Njalo khangela, uzathatha isisu, uzale indodana, uzakuthi ibizo layo nguJesu.
32 O tlaa nna mogolo thata mme o tlaa bidiwa Morwa Modimo. Mme Morena Modimo o tlaa mo naya setilo sa bogosi sa mogolwagolwane wa gagwe Dafide.
Yena uzakuba mkhulu, uzabizwa ngokuthi yiNdodana yoPhezukonke; futhi iNkosi uNkulunkulu izamnika isihlalo sobukhosi sikayise uDavida,
njalo uzabusa phezu kwendlu kaJakobe kuze kube nininini, langombuso wakhe kawuzukuba lokuphela. (aiōn g165)
34 Mme Marea a botsa moengele a re, “Ke ka nna jang le ngwana? ke le kgarebane.”
UMariya wasesithi kuyo ingilosi: Lokhu kungenzeka njani, njengoba ngingazi indoda?
35 Moengele a mo fetola a re, “Mowa o o Boitshepo o tlaa tla mo go wena, le nonofo ya Modimo e tlaa go apesa, jalo ngwana yo o tlaa mo tsholang o tlaa ba a le boitshepo e le Morwa Modimo.
Ingilosi yasiphendula yathi kuye: UMoya oNgcwele uzakuza phezu kwakho, lamandla oPhezukonke azakwembesa; ngakho lalokhu okungcwele okuzazalwa nguwe kuzakuthiwa yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
36 Mo godimo ga moo, Elisabetha ntsalao wa ‘moopa’ jaaka a bidiwa-o setse a na le dikgwedi di le thataro a ithwele mo botsofeng ja gagwe!
Njalo khangela, isinini sakho uElizabethi, laye ukhulelwe yindodana ebudaleni bakhe; lale yinyanga yesithupha kuye obekuthiwa uyinyumba.
37 Gonne tsholofetso nngwe le nngwe e e tswang mo Modimong e tlaa diragala.”
Ngoba kuNkulunkulu kakulalutho oluzakwehlula.
38 Mme Marea a re, “Ke motlhanka wa Morena e bile ke batla go dira sengwe le sengwe se o se batlang. A sengwe le sengwe se o se buileng se diragale.” Hong moengele a nyelela.
UMariya wasesithi: Khangela, incekukazi yeNkosi; kakube kimi njengelizwi lakho. Ingilosi yasisuka kuye.
39 Morago ga malatsi a se kae Marea a itlhaganelela kwa makhubung a Judea kwa motseng o Sakarea o neng a nna mo go one, go etela Elisabetha.
Ngalezonsuku uMariya wasesukuma waya ezintabeni ngokuphangisa, emzini weJuda,
wangena endlini kaZakariya, wabingelela uElizabethi.
41 Mme ya re Elisabetha a utlwa tumediso ya ga Marea, ngwana a tlola mo sebopelong sa gagwe mme Elisabetha a tlala Mowa o o Boitshepo.
Kwasekusithi uElizabethi ezwe ukubingelela kukaMariya, inkonyane yeqa esiswini sakhe; loElizabethi wagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele,
42 A tshega ka boitumelo a raya Marea a re, “o ratilwe ke Modimo mo basading botlhe, le ngwana, wa gago, o tlhologeletswe kgalalelo ya Modimo e kgolo.
wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, wathi: Ubusisiwe wena phakathi kwabesifazana, njalo sibusisiwe isithelo sesizalo sakho!
43 Ana ke tlotlo e kgolo thata jang, e Mma-Morena wa me o nketetseng ka yone!
Kanti kuvela ngaphi lokhu kimi, ukuthi unina weNkosi yami eze kimi?
44 Erile fa ke utlwa lentswe la gago ka nako e o neng o ntumedisa ka yone, ngwana a tlola mo sebopelong sa me ka boitumelo!
Ngoba khangela, kuthe ilizwi lokubingelela kwakho lifika endlebeni zami, umntwana weqa esiswini sami ngokuthokoza.
45 O dumetse gore Modimo o tlaa dira se o se buileng; ke ka moo o go neileng letlhogonolo le le gakgamatsang le.”
Futhi ubusisiwe okholiweyo, ngoba kuzagcwaliseka lezozinto ezakhulunywa kuye yiNkosi.
46 Marea a fetola a re, “Ao, ke galaletsa Morena jang.
UMariya wasesithi: Umphefumulo wami uyayikhulisa iNkosi,
47 Ke itumela jang mo Modimong Mmoloki!
lomoya wami uyathokoza kuNkulunkulu uMsindisi wami,
48 Gonne o tlhokometse motlhanka wa one wa morweetsana, le jaanong kokomana morago ga kokomana go ya bosakhutleng ba tlaa mpitsa mosegofadiwa wa Modimo.
ngoba ukhangele ubuphansi bencekukazi yakhe. Ngoba khangela, kusukela khathesi zonke izizukulwana zizakuthi ngibusisiwe.
49 “Gonne ene yo mogolo yo o boitshepo, o ntiretse dilo tse dikgolo.
Ngoba yena olamandla ungenzele izinto ezinkulu, lingcwele lebizo lakhe,
50 Boutlwelo-botlhoko jwa gagwe bo tsamaya go tsweng kokomaneng go ya kokomaneng, mo go botlhe ba ba o boifang:
lesihawu sakhe sikusizukulwana ngesizukulwana kulabo abamesabayo.
51 “Nonofo ya letsogo la gagwe e kgolo jang! O faladitse baikgantshi le ba ba ikgodisang.
Wenzile amandla ngengalo yakhe; uhlakazile abazigqajayo ekunakaneni kwenhliziyo zabo.
52 O digile dikgosi tse di kgolo mo ditilong tsa tsone tsa bogosi mme o godisitse ba ba ingotlileng.
Wehlisile iziphathamandla ezihlalweni zobukhosi, kodwa uphakamisile abantukazana.
53 O kgorisitse dipelo tse di bolailweng ke tlala mme o busitse bahumi ba sa tsaya sepe.
Abalambileyo ubasuthise ngezinto ezinhle, kodwa abanothileyo wabamukisa beze.
54 Ebile o thusitse motlhanka wa gagwe Iseraele jang! Ga a ka a lebala tsholofetso ya kutlwelo-botlhoko.
Umsizile uIsrayeli inceku yakhe, ngokukhumbula isihawu,
55 “Gonne o solofeditse bo rraarona-Aberahame le bana ba gagwe go nna kutlwelo-botlhoko mo go bone go ya bosakhutleng.” (aiōn g165)
njengoba watsho kubobaba bethu, kuAbrahama, lenzalweni yakhe kuze kube nininini. (aiōn g165)
56 Marea a nna le Elisabetha selekanyo sa dikgwedi tse tharo mme a boela kwa legaeng la gagwe.
UMariya wasehlala laye okungaba zinyanga ezintathu, wasebuyela endlini yakhe.
57 Ka nako e, tebelelo ya ga Elisabetha e ne e setse e wetse, ka gore lobaka lo ne lo setse lo fitlhile lwa ngwana gore a tsholwe mme ya bo e le mosimane.
Isikhathi sikaElizabethi sokuthi abelethe sesiphelele, wasebeletha indodana.
58 Mme lefoko la anamela ka bonako kwa go bangwe ka ene le ba losika gore Morena o mo diretse molemo go le kae, mme mongwe le mongwe a itumela.
Abakhelene laye lezinini zakhe basebesizwa ukuthi iNkosi yenze isihawu sayo saba sikhulu kuye, basebethokoza laye.
59 E rile fa ngwana a na le malatsi a fera bobedi botlhe ba losika le ditsala ba tla modirong wa thupiso. Botlhe ba ne ba ithaya ba re leina la ngwana e tlaa nna Sakarea, a reelelwa rraagwe.
Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesificaminwembili, beza ukuzasoka usane; balubiza ngebizo likayise ngokuthi nguZakariya.
60 Mme Elisabetha a re, “Nnyaa! O tshwanetse go bidiwa Johane!”
Kodwa unina waphendula wathi: Hatshi bo, kodwa luzathiwa nguJohane.
61 Mme ba gakgamala ba re, “Wa reng? Ga go na ope mo go ba gaeno wa leina leo.”
Basebesithi kuye: Kakho ezihlotsheni zakho obizwa ngalelibizo.
62 Jalo ba botsa rangwana, ba bua le ene ka diatla.
Basebeqhweba uyise, ukuthi angathanda ukuthi lubizwe ngokuthini.
63 Mme a kopa pampiri e e kwalelang mme mo kgakgamalong ya mongwe le mongwe a kwala a re, “Leina la gagwe ke Johane!”
Wasecela into yokubhalela, wabhala, esithi: NguJohane ibizo lalo; basebemangala bonke.
64 Ka bonako Sakarea a kgona go bua gape, mme a simolola go baka Modimo.
Njalo wahle wavulwa umlomo wakhe lolimi lwakhe lwatshwaphululwa, wasekhuluma edumisa uNkulunkulu.
65 Kgakgamalo ya wela botlhe ba ba agileng gaufi, mme mafoko a se se diregileng a anama le dithota tsa Judea.
Lokwesaba kwehlela phezu kwabo bonke abakhelene labo; njalo kwakhulunywa ngazo zonke lezizinto kulo lonke elezintabeni zeJudiya,
66 Mme batho botlhe ba ba utlwileng kaga gone, ba akanya ka boleele ba ipotsa ba re, “Re a gakgamala gore ngwana yo o tsile go nna eng? Gonne letsogo la Morena ruri le mo okame ka mokgwa mongwe wa botlhokwa.”
labo bonke abazizwayo bazilondoloza ezinhliziyweni zabo, besithi: Kambe lolusane luzakuba njani? Njalo isandla seNkosi sasilalo.
67 Hong rraagwe ebong Sakarea a tlala Mowa o o Boitshepo mme a ntsha polelopele e e reng:
LoZakariya uyise wagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele, waprofetha, esithi:
68 Bakang Modimo, Morena wa Iseraele gonne o tsile go etela batho ba gagwe mme o ba golotse.
Ibusisiwe iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ngoba ihambele yasenzela inkululeko isizwe sayo,
69 O re romeletse Mmoloki yo o senatla a tswa mo losikeng lwa motlhanka wa gagwe Dafide,
yasivusela uphondo losindiso endlini kaDavida inceku yayo,
70 fela jaaka a solofeditse ka baporofiti ba gagwe ba ba boitshepo mo lobakeng lo lo fetileng (aiōn g165)
njengalokho yakhuluma ngomlomo wabaprofethi bayo abangcwele kusukela ekuqaleni komhlaba, (aiōn g165)
71 gore o tlaa re romelela mongwe yo o tlaa re gololang mo babeng ba rona, le mo go botlhe ba ba re ilang.
isikhulula ezitheni zethu, lesandleni sabo bonke abasizondayo;
72 “O na a le kutlwelobotlhoko mo bagolwaneng ba rona, ee, mo go Aberahame ka bo ene, ka go gakologelwa tsholofetso ya gagwe e e boitshepo mo go ene,
ukwenzela obaba bethu isihawu, lokukhumbula isivumelwano sayo esingcwele,
isifungo eyasifunga kubaba wethu uAbrahama,
74 le go re naya tshwanelo ya go direla Modimo kwa ntle ga poifo, re golotswe mo babeng ba rona.
ukusinika, ukuthi sesikhululiwe esandleni sezitha zethu, siyikhonze singelakwesaba,
75 Le go re dira boitshepo le go amogelesega, re siametse go ema fa pele ga one ka bosakhutleng.
ngobungcwele langokulunga phambi kwayo zonke izinsuku zempilo yethu.
76 “Mme wena morwaaka yo mmotlana, o tlaa bidiwa moporofiti wa Modimo o o galalelang, gonne o tlaa baakanya ditsela tsa ga Mesia.
Lawe-ke, sane, uzabizwa ngokuthi ungumprofethi woPhezukonke; ngoba uzahamba phambi kobuso beNkosi ukulungisa izindlela zayo;
77 O tlaa bolelela batho ba one ka fa ba ka bonang poloko ka teng ka boitshwarelo jwa dibe.
lokunika isizwe sayo ulwazi losindiso ngothethelelo lwezono zabo,
78 Gotlhe mo go tlaa nna ka ntlha ya gore boutlwelo-botlhoko jwa Modimo wa rona bo bonolo thata, e bile bosa jwa legodimo bo tlaa re sela.
ngesihelo sikaNkulunkulu wethu, okuthi ngaso ukusa kwaphezulu kusethekelele,
79 Go bonesetsa ba ba ntseng mo lefifing la moruti wa loso, le go re goga mo tseleng ya kagiso.”
ukubakhanyisela abahlezi emnyameni lethunzini lokufa, ukuqondisa inyawo zethu endleleni yokuthula.
80 Mme e rile ngwana a sena go gola a rata Modimo thata. A nna kwa ntle mo sekakeng a le esi go fitlhelela a simolola thuto ya gagwe mo Iseraele.
Wakhula-ke umntwana omncane, waqina emoyeni, waba sezinkangala kwaze kwaba lusuku lokubonakala kwakhe kuIsrayeli.
