Luka 1
1 Teofilo Walemekwa, bantu bangi balelekesha kwambeti balembe sha makani abintu ibyo byalenshika pakati petu,
Forsothe for manye men enforceden to ordeyne the tellyng of thingis, whiche ben fillid in vs,
2 balalemba mbuli ncobalambilwa kuli bakamboni balabona bintu ibyo mpobyalatatikila kwinshika. abo ebalikukambauka Mulumbe uwo.
as thei that seyn atte the bigynnyng, and weren ministris of the word,
3 Pabintu byonse ibi ndalepushisha mwabuya, kufuma pacindi ncobyalatatika kwinshika, neco ndayeye kwambeti ndimulembele mbuli mobyakonkanilana.
bitaken, it is seen also to me, hauynge alle thingis diligentli bi ordre, to write to thee,
4 Ndenshici kwambeti mwinshibe cakubinga pali byonse mbyobalamwambila.
thou best Theofile, that thou knowe the treuthe of tho wordis, of whiche thou art lerned.
5 Pacindi mwami Helode mpwalikuba muleli wacishi ca Yudeya kwalikuba shimilumbo walikukwiweti Sakaliya, wamukalikoto ka beshimilumbo ka Abija. Mukashendi Sakaliya walikuba Lisabeti wa mumukowa wa Aloni.
In the daies of Eroude, kyng of Judee, ther was a prest, Sakarie bi name, of the sorte of Abia, and his wijf was of the douytris of Aaron, and hir name was Elizabeth.
6 Bonse babili balikuba bantu beshikunyumfwila Lesa, kayi bali kukonkela Milawo ne byonse Lesa mbyalikuyandeti babinse.
And bothe weren iust bifor God, goynge in alle the maundementis and iustifiyngis of the Lord, withouten pleynt.
7 Nomba nkabalikukutepo mwana, pakwinga Lisabeti walikuba cumba kayi balikuba balacekulu.
And thei hadden no child, for Elizabeth was bareyn, and bothe weren of grete age in her daies.
8 Busuba nabumbi, Sakaliya walikusebensa ncito yakendi yabushimilumbo mu Ng'anda ya Lesa. Pakwinga bwalikuba busuba bwalikoto lyakendi.
And it bifel, that whanne Zacarie schulde do the office of preesthod, in the ordre of his cours tofor God,
9 Lino kwelana ne cinga ca beshimilumbo, balasala Sakaliya kwambeti ayenga mu Ng'anda ya Lesa kuya kutenta lubani.
aftir the custome of the preesthod, he wente forth bi lot, and entride in to the temple, to encense.
10 Pacindi Sakaliya mpwalikutenta lubani, likoto lya bantu balikuba pansa kabapaila.
And al the multitude of the puple was with outforth, and preiede in the our of encensyng.
11 Lino mwakutayeyela Sakaliya walabona mungelo wa Mwami, kali wemana kulubasu lwalulyo lwanteme pali kutentelwa lubani.
And an aungel of the Lord apperide to hym, and stood on the riythalf of the auter of encense.
12 Sakaliya walakankamana nekutina.
And Zacarie seynge was afraied, and drede fel vpon hym.
13 Nsombi mungelo uyo walamwambileti, “Kotatina Sakaliya, Lesa lanyumfu kupaila kwakobe, neco mukashobe lisabeti nakakusemene mwana mutuloba ukamutumbe lineti Yohane.
And the aungel seide to hym, Zacarie, drede thou not; for thi preyer is herd, and Elizabeth, thi wijf, schal bere to thee a sone, and his name schal be clepid Joon.
14 Nakakukondweleshe ne kukusangalasha cikamba, kayi bantu bangi naboyo nibakakondwe pacebo cakusemwa kwakendi.
And ioye and gladyng schal be to thee; and many schulen `haue ioye in his natyuyte.
15 Pakwinga mwana uyo nakabe mukulene pamenso a Lesa, kayi nteshi akanwenga waini nambi byeshikukola. Nakakutenga ngofu sha Mushimu Uswepa nkacili mulibunda.
For he schal be greet bifor the Lord, and he schal not drynke wyn and sidir, and he schal be fulfillid with the Hooli Goost yit of his modir wombe.
16 Uyu muntu nakenshisheti ba Isilayeli bangi bakabwele kuli Mwami Lesa wabo.
And he schal conuerte many of the children of Israel to her Lord God;
17 Yohane nakabe kuntangu kwa Mwami, kayi nakabe ne Mushimu nengofu mbuli shali kuba ne mushinshimi Eliya. Nakalete lunyufwano pakati pabana neba meshabo.” “Nakasandule bantu batanyumfwili Lesa kwambeti bakabe ne miyeyo ya bantu balulama. Nakabambe bantu ba Mwami kwambeti babenga balibambila.”
and he schal go bifor hym in the spirit and the vertu of Helie; and he schal turne the hertis of the fadris in to the sones, and men out of bileue to the prudence of iust men, to make redi a perfit puple to the Lord.
18 Sakaliya walepusha mungelo uyo, “Nomba nganjishibaconi kwambeti ncolambanga nicikenshike? Pakwinga ame ndacekulu neye mukashame lacekulu.”
And Zacarie seide to the aungel, Wherof schal Y wite this? for Y am eld, and my wijf hath gon fer in to hir daies.
19 Mungelo usa walakumbuleti, ame njame Gabiliyeli. Nkute kwimana pamenso a Lesa cindi conse. Nendi elantumu kwambeti nkwambile bintu ibi.
And the aungel answeride, and seide to hym, For Y am Gabriel, that stonde niy bifor God; and Y am sent to thee to speke, and to euangelize to thee these thingis.
20 Nomba pakwinga uliya kushoma mulumbe uyu ngondamba weti ukenshike pacindi celela, nube cibulu nteti ucikonshenga kwamba, mpaka ibi bintu bikenshike.
And lo! thou schalt be doumbe, and thou schalt not mow speke til in to the dai, in which these thingis schulen be don; for thou hast not bileued to my wordis, whiche schulen be fulfillid in her tyme.
21 Pacindi ico bantu balikupembelela Sakaliya balakankamana nkabepushanyeti nicani lamanta cindi citali mu Ng'anda ya Lesa?
And the puple was abidynge Zacarie, and thei wondriden, that he tariede in the temple.
22 Lino mpwalapula pansa nkalikucikonsha kwamba nabo. Nomba nabo balenshiba kwambeti labono cimboni mboni, popelapo walatatika kwamba ne makasa mbuli cibulu, neco walapitilisha kuba cibulu.
And he yede out, and myyte not speke to hem, and thei knewen that he hadde seyn a visioun in the temple. And he bikenyde to hem, and he dwellide stille doumbe.
23 Mpwalapwa masuba akusebensa mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, Sakaliya walaya kucomwabo.
And it was don, whanne the daies of his office weren fulfillid, he wente in to his hous.
24 Panyuma pakendi Lisabeti walemita, lino nkalikupulapula mu ng'anda kwamyenshi isanu nkambeti,
And aftir these daies Elizabeth, his wijf, conseyuede, and hidde hir fyue monethis, and seide,
25 “Lesa lino lanyumfwili inkumbo pakunyinshileci lafunyu insoni shakame pamenso abantu.”
For so the Lord dide to me in the daies, in whiche he bihelde, to take awei my repreef among men.
26 Mumwenshi wacisanu ne umo kufuma mpwalemita Lisabeti, Lesa walatuma mungelo Gabiliyeli ku munshi naumbi waku Galileya, walikukwiweti Nasaleti.
But in the sixte moneth the aungel Gabriel was sent fro God in to a citee of Galilee, whos name was Nazareth,
27 Walaya ku mulindu walikukwiweti Maliya. Maliya walikuba wamamikilwa kumutuloba lina lyakendi ni Yosefe wa mumukowa wa Dafeti.
to a maidyn, weddid to a man, whos name was Joseph, of the hous of Dauid; and the name of the maidun was Marie.
28 Mungelo mpwalashika kuli Maliya walambeti, mitende obe walelekwa ne Lesa. Lesa uli ne njobe.
And the aungel entride to hir, and seide, Heil, ful of grace; the Lord be with thee; blessid be thou among wymmen.
29 Maliya mpwalanyumfwa maswi a mungelo walatilimuka walipusha mumoyo wakendi eti, “Nikupa mitende kwamushobo cini uku?”
And whanne sche hadde herd, sche was troublid in his word, and thouyte what maner salutacioun this was.
30 Popelapo mungelo walamwambileti, “Kotatina, Maliya; Pakwinga Lesa lakunyumfwili inkumbo.
And the aungel seide to hir, Ne drede thou not, Marie, for thou hast foundun grace anentis God.
31 Bona nukemite ne kusema mwana mutuloba ukamutumbeti Yesu.
Lo! thou schalt conceyue in wombe, and schalt bere a sone, and thou schalt clepe his name Jhesus.
32 “Nakabe mukulene kayi nakakwiweti mwanendi Lesa wakwilu wapitapo. Mwami Lesa nakamupe cipuna ca bwami ca Dafeti.
This schal be greet, and he schal be clepid the sone of the Hiyeste; and the Lord God schal yeue to hym the seete of Dauid, his fadir,
and he schal regne in the hous of Jacob with outen ende, and of his rewme schal be noon ende. (aiōn g165)
34 Lino, Maliya walamwipusha Mungelo eti, “Nomba ici ngacinshika econi ame nkana nkumanapo ne mutuloba?”
And Marie seide to the aungel, On what maner schal this thing be doon, for Y knowe not man?
35 Mungelo walakumbuleti, Mushimu Uswepa nukese palinjobe nengofu sha Lesa wapita byonse nishikakufwekelele. Neco mwana eshi akasemwe nakakwiweti waswepa, Mwanendi Lesa.
And the aungel answeride, and seide to hir, The Hooly Goost schal come fro aboue in to thee, and the vertu of the Hiyeste schal ouerschadewe thee; and therfor that hooli thing that schal be borun of thee, schal be clepid the sone of God.
36 “Bona mukwenu Lisabeti usa walikwambweti nkaseme, lino lapembelenga kuya kuba ne mwana mutuloba mubucembele bwakendi. Pakwinga ukute myenshi isanu ne umo kakute libunda.
And lo! Elizabeth, thi cosyn, and sche also hath conceyued a sone in hir eelde, and this moneth is the sixte to hir that is clepid bareyn;
37 Pakwinga paliya ceshi cikamwalile Lesa.”
for euery word schal not be inpossible anentis God.
38 Maliya walakumbuleti, “Kacinshika mbuli momulambili, pakwinga ame ndemusha wa Mwami.” Lino mungelo usa walamushiya.
And Marie seide, Lo! the handmaydyn of the Lord; be it don to me aftir thi word. And the aungel departide fro hir.
39 Mpopalapita masuba ang'ana, Maliya walanyamuka bulwendo bwakufwambana kuya kumusena wa milundu, kumunshi wa Yudeya.
And Marie roos vp in tho daies, and wente with haaste in to the mounteyns, in to a citee of Judee.
40 Walengila mung'anda ya Sakaliya nekumupa mutende Lisabeti.
And sche entride in to the hous of Zacarie, and grette Elizabeth.
41 Pacindi Lisabeti mpwalanyumfwa mutende wa Maliya, mwana walatatika kunyanyala mwakukondwa mulibunda mwakendi. Lisabeti walesushiwa ne ngofu sha Mushimu Uswepa,
And it was don, as Elizabeth herde the salutacioun of Marie, the yong child in hir wombe gladide. And Elizabeth was fulfillid with the Hooli Goost,
42 kayi walolobesha ne kwambeti, “Ukute colwe pakati pa batukashi bonse, kayi mwanobe weshi akasemwe walelekwa.
and criede with a greet vois, and seide, Blessid be thou among wymmen, and blessid be the fruyt of thi wombe.
43 Anu njame bani kwambeti mfwakashilwe ne banyina Mwami wakame?
And whereof is this thing to me, that the modir of my Lord come to me?
44 Pakwinga mpondalanyumfowa mutende wenu, mwana walatatika kunyanyala mwakukondwa mulibunda mwakame.
For lo! as the voice of thi salutacioun was maad in myn eeris, the yong child gladide in ioye in my wombe.
45 Ukute colwe pakwinga walashoma kwambeti makani Lesa ayo ngowalambilwa nakubinga nakenshike.”
And blessid be thou, that hast bileued, for thilke thingis that ben seid of the Lord to thee, schulen be parfitli don.
46 Popelapo Maliya walalumbaisha nekwambeti, “Ndalumbu Mwami mumoyo mwakame,
And Marie seide, Mi soule magnyfieth the Lord,
47 Kayi mushimu wakame wakondwa muli Lesa Mupulushi wakame.
and my spirit hath gladid in God, myn helthe.
48 Pakwinga labono kulicepesha kwakame ndemusha wakendi kufuma lelo, bantu bonse pacishi ca panshi nibakankuweti walelekwa.
For he hath biholdun the mekenesse of his handmaidun.
49 Pakwinga nendi Lesa wangofu shonse lanjinshili bintu binene, lina lyakendi lyaswepa.
For lo! of this alle generaciouns schulen seie that Y am blessid. For he that is myyti hath don to me grete thingis, and his name is hooli.
50 Kayi inkumbo shakendi shili pali bonse bantu abo bakute kumulemeka kufuma kumusemano kushika kumusemano naumbi.
And his mercy is fro kynrede in to kynredes, to men that dreden hym.
51 Likasa lyakendi lilenshi bintu binene byangofu byeshi kukankamanisha, lamwaya bantu bakute miyeyo ya kulisumpula.
He made myyt in his arme, he scaterede proude men with the thouyte of his herte.
52 Lafunyu Bami bangofu shinene pabipuna byabo, nekusumpula abo beshi kulicepesha.
He sette doun myyti men fro sete, and enhaunside meke men.
53 Lapa bantu bakute nsala bintu bingi kwambeti bekute, Lababweshe babile kwakubula kubapapo kantu kalikonse.
He hath fulfillid hungri men with goodis, and he hath left riche men voide.
54 Lanyamfwa Islaeli musebenshi wakendi kayi uliya kuluba kumwinshila inkumbo
He, hauynge mynde of his mercy, took Israel, his child;
55 mbuli ncalalaya bamashali betu bakulukulu, Abulahamu ne bashikulu bakendi mpaka muyayaya.” (aiōn g165)
as he hath spokun to oure fadris, to Abraham and to his seed, in to worldis. (aiōn g165)
56 Maliya walekala ne Lisabeti myenshi yanda kukwana itatu, panyuma pakendi walabwelela kucomwabo.
And Marie dwellide with hir, as it were thre monethis, and turnede ayen in to hir hous.
57 Lino cindi cakwambeti Lisabeti atumbuke calakwana, walasema mwana mutuloba.
But the tyme of beryng child was fulfillid to Elizabeth, and sche bare a sone.
58 Beshikamukowa ne banendi mpobalanyufwa mbuli Mwami ncalamubela inkumbo Lisabeti balakondwa pamo bonse ne ndiye.
And the neiyboris and cosyns of hir herden, that the Lord hadde magnyfied his mercy with hir; and thei thankiden hym.
59 Mwana usa mpwalakwanisha nsondo ne busuba bumo balesa kwambeti bamwelule, kayi bamutumbe lina lyabaishi ba Sakaliya,
And it was don in the eiyte dai, thei camen to circumcide the child; and thei clepiden hym Zacarie, bi the name of his fadir.
60 nsombi banyina balakana kwambeti, “Welela kukwiweti Yohane.”
And his moder answeride, and seide, Nay, but he schal be clepid Joon.
61 Balo bantu balamukumbuleti, “Nomba kuliyawa ukute lina lyamushoboyo kubeshi kamukowa.”
And thei seiden to hir, For no man is in thi kynrede, that is clepid this name.
62 Lino balambila baishi ne makasa, ne kubepusheti, “Mulandanga tumutumbe lina cini?”
And thei bikeneden to his fadir, what he wolde that he were clepid.
63 Popelapo Sakaliya walasebensesha makasa pakusenga cakulembelapo, ne kulembeti, “Lina lyakendi ni Yohane.” Bantu bonse balakankamana.
And he axynge a poyntil, wroot, seiynge, Joon is his name.
64 Mpwalapwishowa kulemba Sakaliya walatatika kwamba, nekutatika kulumbaisha Lesa.
And alle men wondriden. And anoon his mouth was openyd, and his tunge, and he spak, and blesside God.
65 Bantu bonse balatina abo balikuba bekala pepi nendiye. Neco lulumbi ulo lwalamwaika mucishi conse ca tulundu twa mu Yudeya.
And drede was maad on alle her neiyboris, and alle these wordis weren pupplischid on alle the mounteyns of Judee.
66 Bonse abo balanyufwa mulumbe uyo bali kabayeya mumyoyo yabo kayi ne kulipusheti, “Uyu mwana nakabe wamushobo cini?” Pakwinga cilabonekelenga limo kwambeti ngofu sha Lesa shili pali endiye.
And alle men that herden puttiden in her herte, and seiden, What maner child schal this be? For the hoond of the Lord was with hym.
67 Lino Sakaliya baishi Yohane, walesushiwa ne ngofu sha Mushimu Uswepa nekutatika kwambeti,
And Zacarie, his fadir, was fulfillid with the Hooli Goost, and prophesiede,
68 “Alumbaishiwe Mwami Lesa wa ba Islaeli, Pakwinga Lesa lanyamfwa bantu bakendi ne kubapulusha.
and seide, Blessid be the Lord God of Israel, for he hath visitid, and maad redempcioun of his puple.
69 Latupa mupulushi ukute ngofu, walafuma mulibunda lya Dafeti musebenshi wa Lesa.
And he hath rerid to vs an horn of heelthe in the hous of Dauid, his child.
As he spak bi the mouth of hise hooli prophetis, that weren fro the world. (aiōn g165)
71 Kwambeti nakatupulushe kufuma mumakasa abalwani betu, ne kuli abo bonse batupata.
Helthe fro oure enemyes, and fro the hoond of alle men that hatiden vs.
72 Walambeti, nakanyumfwile inkumbo bamashali betu bakeendi, kayi nteshi akalubeko cipangano cakendi caswepa.
To do merci with oure fadris, and to haue mynde of his hooli testament.
73 Ncalalumbila kumushali wetu Abulahamu ne kumushomesheti,
The greet ooth that he swoor to Abraham, oure fadir, to yyue hym silf to vs.
74 nakatupulushe mumakasa abalwani betu, kwambeti tukamusebensele mwakubula buyowa,
That we with out drede delyuered fro the hoond of oure enemyes,
75 Kayi tube baswepa nekuba balulama pamenso akendi, masuba onse abuyumi bwetu.

76 Lino mwana obe, nukakwiweti mushinshimi wa Lesa wa wangofu shonse, Pakwinga obe nukabe pantangu pa Mwami, akumubambila nshila.
And thou, child, schalt be clepid the prophete of the Hiyest; for thou schalt go bifor the face of the Lord, to make redi hise weies.
77 Nukenshibishe bantu bakendi kwambeti, nibakapulushiwe kayi nekulekelelwa bwipishi bwabo.
To yyue scyence of helthe to his puple, in to remyssioun of her synnes;
78 Mwami Lesa wetu ukute nkumbo nakatupe mumuni wa kwilu ulyeti kutubuluka kwa kumaca.
bi the inwardnesse of the merci of oure God, in the whiche he spryngynge vp fro an hiy hath visitid vs.
79 nukabe mumuni weti ukamunikile bantu bonse bekala mu mushinshe wa lufu, nekututangunina mulumuno.”
To yyue liyt to hem that sitten in derknessis and in schadewe of deeth; to dresse oure feet in to the weie of pees.
80 Usa mwana Yohani walakula nekushimpa mumushimu. Walekala mucinyika kushikila busuba mpwalabonekela patuba kubantu mu Isilaeli.
And the child wexide, and was coumfortid in spirit, and was in desert placis `til to the dai of his schewing to Israel.
