Luk 1
1 Ayanam Tiopilas: Ngonugv pinko so ogugo ripvkudw hum lvkdubv awgo nyi vdwv bunugv lvgvlvmabv rikw nyatoku.
As you know, many others have attempted to put down in writing the things that have been fulfilled that involve us.
2 Ogugo ripvkudw um atuk alu lo tvvnvkaanv vdwgv doin a japkarla ngonua minji kunama bunu lvktoku.
They based their accounts on evidence from the earliest eyewitnesses and ministers of the Word,
3 Okv vkvlvgabv, ngonugv chinvpanv nga, ogulvgavbolo so minam gaam mvnwng nga atuk lokv ngo alvrungbv himpv kaapv kunv, hung mvnwngnga nonugv lvgabv jubjirvyi dubv lvkla pvji bolo alvyari vla ngo mvngtoku.
and so I also decided that since I have followed these things very carefully from the beginning, it would be a good idea to write out an accurate account of all that happened.
4 Ngo sum ridu ogulvgavbolo nonua minjinam ho gv jvjv mvnwngnga alvbv chimuso mvngla.
I have done this dear Theophilus so you can be certain that what you were taught is completely reliable.
5 Herod gv Judia lo Dvbv bv rila singrilo hokaka nyibu go aminv Jakaria vnamgo dooto, nw Abija vnam gv nyibu buli haalung lokv. Ninyigv nyimv gv aminv Elijabet; hvvka nyibu buli haalung lokv.
During the time when Herod was king of Judea, there was a priest called Zechariah, who came from the Abijah priestly division. He was married to Elizabeth, who was also descended from Aaron the priest.
6 Anyiv Pwknvyarnv gv kaagialo alvbv rila reto, okv Ahtu gv nyetin Pvbv nga alvbv mvnggapla rila reto.
They both did what was right before God, being careful to follow all the Lord's commandments and regulations.
7 Bunyi kuu kaamato ogulvgavbolo Elijabet akoka bvngmato, okv nw okv Jakaria bunyi achialvbv nyikam ongu toku.
They had no children because Elizabeth wasn't able to have any, and they were both growing old.
8 Alu logolo Pwknvyarnvnaam lo Jakaria nyibubv rila ninyigv kudungkua rise nga naala ridungto,
While Zechariah was serving as a priest before God, on behalf of his priestly division,
9 Nyibu vdwgv riching bv rila, Pwknvyarnvnaam lo nampunv mwkwmwya mwwkulo mwwnam lvgabv amin chinka sila riku lo ninyia chimpa toku. Vkvlvgabv nw Ahtu gv Pwknvyarnvnaam lo vngtoku,
he was chosen by lot according to priestly custom to enter the Temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10 vdwlo nampunv mwkwmwya mwwdw v aapv kudw nyi nyitwng ngv agumlo kumtoku.
During the time of offering incense a large crowd of people were praying outside.
11 Ahtu gv nyidogindung gonv nampunv mwkwmwya mwwku lakbik kiambv daktola ninyia kaatam sitoku.
An angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing to the right of the altar of incense.
12 Vdwlo Jakaria nyidogindung nga kaapa tokudw, nw lamla okv busuto.
When Zechariah saw the angel, he was startled and became terrified.
13 Vbvritola nyidogindung ngv ninyia minto, “Jakaria, busu mabvka! Pwknvyarnv noogv kumnam a tvvpa pvku, okv noogv nyimv Elijabet nam kuunyilo ako bvngjire. No ninyia Jon vla amin minlaka.
But the angel told him, “Don't be afraid, Zechariah. Your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call him John.
14 Vdwlo ninyia bvnglin kubolo, noola okv kvvbi vdwv vdwgo mvngpunam gubv ririkudw!
He will bring you joy and gladness, and many will celebrate his birth.
15 Nw Ahtu gv kaagialo kainv nyi gobv rire. Nw opo tvngrung mare. Ninyia bvnglin rilokv nw Darwknv Dow gvnvgubv rire,
He will be great in the sight of the Lord. He will refuse to drink wine or other alcoholic drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he's born.
16 okv nw Israel nyi vdwam Ahtu gvlo bunugv Pwknvyarnv gvlo awgo aagv jireku.
He will turn many Israelites back to the Lord their God.
17 Nw nyijwk Elija gv aingbv gwlwk okv kaibv gwlwk am gvvla, Ahtunyi vngchoyare. Nw lvkodv abu hala kuu vdwa lvkobv naadum sireku; Nw tvvma kaamanv nyi vdwa jvjvgv lamtv yalo vla mvngkur dukubv mvreku; Nw Ahtu gv nyi vdwa Ahtu gv lvgabv mvpvripv jidukubv mvreku.”
He will go ahead of the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the fathers back to thinking about their children, and to turn those who are rebellious back to a right understanding—to prepare a people ready for the Lord.”
18 Jakaria nyidogindung nga minto, “Ngo oguaingbv hum chinbwk sudubv? Ngo nyikam roku okv ngoogv nywng vka ongngu roku.”
“How can I be sure about this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “I'm an old man, and my wife is getting old too.”
19 Nyidogindung ngv mirwkto, “Ngo Gabriel, ngo Pwknvyarnv gv kaagia lo daknv, nam gaam japdubv okv soogv alvnv yunying nga minpa modubv nw ngam vngmupvnv.
“I am Gabriel,” the angel replied. “I stand in God's presence, and I was sent to speak to you and give you this good news.
20 Vbvritola ngoogv doin ridwlo jvjvbv rilin jinvnga no tvvjwngma. No mvngjwng manam lvgabv, no gaam japlin nyuma reku; vdwlo ngoogv nam milvnamv jvjvbv rilin maredw no choibv dooriku.”
But since you didn't believe what I told you, you'll become dumb, unable to speak, until the appointed time when my words come true.”
21 Vbvrirelo nyi vdwv Jakarianyi kaaya toku okv bunu ninyia ogubvdabvre ogubv Pwknvyarnvnaam arwnglo vkamjegu ringak dvnvdw vla mvngnya toku.
Outside the people were waiting for Zechariah, wondering why he was taking so long in the Temple.
22 Vdwlo nw agumlo lintokudw, nw bunuam gaam minyu matoku, vkvlvgabv nyi vdwv ninyia Pwknvyarnvnaam arwnglo nyikrw go kaapv nvgo vla mvngnya toku. Gamgoka milin nyumato, nw bunuam laak lokv riringrimabv riji toku.
When eventually he came out, he wasn't able to speak to them. They realized he'd seen a vision in the Temple, for though he could make gestures, he was completely dumb.
23 Vdwlo ninyigv ridung rise nga ritokubvdw nw naambv vngtoku.
After he'd finished his time of service, he went back home.
24 Dw mego dooro kochingbv ninyigv nywng Elijabet kuu gvvtoku okv poolu pwngu go naam a vngyu matoku.
Some time later his wife Elizabeth became pregnant. She stayed at home for five months.
25 Nw minto “Vjak ataranyabv Ahtu ngam ridur pvku, nyi vdwgv kaagialo ngoogv hinying svnga Ahtu naala naa jipvku!”
“The Lord has done this for me,” she said, “now that he's taken away my disgrace in the eyes of others.”
26 Elijabet gv kuu gvla poolu pwkv rikulo, Pwknvyarnv nyidogindung Gabrielnyi Galili gv banggu aminv Najareth vnamlo vngmu toku.
In the sixth month of her pregnancy God sent the angel Gabriel to a young girl called Mary who lived in the town of Nazareth in Galilee.
27 Nw gvlo nyijar agv lvgabv minji dubv doin go dooto, hv nyi ako golo aminv Josep vnam gvlo mingak jinam go, Josep Dvbv Dabid gv husi bv rito. Nyijar gv aminv Meri.
She was engaged to a man named Joseph.
28 Nyido gindung ngv nyijar gvlo aala minto, “Mvngpuv nam lvkobv doolaka! Ahtu nam lvkobv doodu okv nam kairungbv boktalwkjidu!”
The angel greeted her. “You are very privileged,” he told her. “The Lord is with you.”
29 Nyidogindung gv doin lokv Meri achialvbv adwkaku toku, okv nw ninyigv gaam minamv oguvdw vla mvngdung mvngbap kartoku.
Mary was very puzzled at what he said, and wondered what this greeting meant.
30 Nyidogindung ngv ninyia minto, “Meri, no busu mabvka; Pwknvyarnv nam achialvbv ayado.
“Don't worry, Mary,” the angel went on, “for God has shown his graciousness to you.
31 No kuu gvvre okv nyilo gobv bvngre, okv no ninyia Jisu vla amin minre.
You will become pregnant and give birth to a son. You shall call him Jesus.
32 Nw kainvgobv rire okv Kaiyachoknv Pwknvyarnv gv Kuunyilo ngv vla ninyia minre. Ahtu Pwknvyarnv ninyia Dvbv gobv mvre, ninyigv abuapa Dabid aing gubv,
He will be very great, and he will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of David his father,
33 okv nw Jakob gv husi lokv doobwngjinv Dvbv gobv rire; ninyigv Karv ngv vdwloka ngekumare!” (aiōn g165)
and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. His kingdom will never come to an end.” (aiōn g165)
34 Meri nyidogindung nga minto, “Ngo nyijar darwk nvgo. Vbvrikunamv si oguaingbv rinyure?”
“How is this possible?” Mary asked. “I'm still a virgin.”
35 Nyido gindung ngv mirwkto, “Darwknv Dow ngv no gvlo doolwkre, okv Pwknvyarnv gv loung ngv no gvlo doonure. Vkvlvgabv darwknv anga hum Pwknvyarnv gv Kuunyilo ngv vla minre.
He replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you. The baby who is to be born is holy, and will be called the Son of God.
36 Noogv amiasa Elijabetnyi mvngka tvnv. Ninyia vdwloka kuu doonyu kumare vla minyato, vbvritola nw achialvbv ongubv ritolaka vjak atuv kuu gvlaku poolu pwkv pvku.
And Elizabeth, your relative, even she is pregnant in her old age. The woman that people said couldn't have children is already six months pregnant.
37 Vkvlvgabv Pwknvyarnv gvlo ogugoka rinyu manamgo kaama.”
Nothing is impossible for God.”
38 Meri minto, “Ngo Ahtu gv paknv ngv, noogv minam vbv ngam rimulaka.” Okv nyidogindung ngv ninyia vngyu toku.
“Here I am, ready to be the Lord's servant,” said Mary. “May it happen to me just as you said.” Then the angel left her.
39 Vbvriro sopikda Meri baapubv mvgemvrap sitoku okv Judia mooku gv moodw lokv doonv banggu akolo baapubv vngtoku.
A little while later, Mary got herself ready and hurried up into the hills of Judea, to the town where
40 Nw Jakaria gv naamlo aato okv Elijabetnyi mvngpula raarwk sitoku.
Zechariah's house was. She called out to Elizabeth as she went in.
41 Vdwlo Elijabet Meri gv mvngpula raarwk sinama tvvpa pvkudw, leit gv anga ngv biitoku. Elijabet gvlo Darwknv Dowv doolwkto
As soon as Elizabeth heard Mary's voice, the baby jumped for joy inside her. Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
42 okv gamtv rungbv gokla minto, “Nyimv mvnwng lokv no kaiyachokbv boktalwkji kunamgo, okv noogv anga bvngjinam angv boktalwkji nama gvnvgo!
and cried out in a loud voice, “How blessed you are among women, and how blessed will be the child born to you!
43 Svkvnv ogu kainv ngoogvlo ogubv ripv nvdw, v ngoogv Ahtu gv anv ngv aala ngam kaalwkyadunv?
Why am I so honored that the mother of my Lord should visit me?
44 Noogv alvpvri vnama ngo tvvpa sopikda, ngoogv arwng gv anga si mvngpula chumkar toku.
As soon as I heard you call out in greeting, my baby jumped for joy inside me.
45 Ahtu gv nam minam v jvjvbv ho rirungre vla mvngjwng kunamv no vdwgo mvngpu vku!”
How fortunate you are, because you are convinced that the Lord will do what he has promised you!”
46 Meri mitoku, “Ngoogv haapok v Ahtunyi hartv do;
Mary replied, “How I praise the Lord!
47 ngoogv yalu hvka mvngpudo ogulvgavbolo Pwknvyarnv ngoogv Ringnv,
I am so happy with God my Savior,
48 nw nga mvngpa toku, ninyigv anyanv paknv gvbv Vjak gvlokv nyi mvnwng ngv ngam mvngpunv vre,
because he decided that I, his servant, was worthy of his consideration, despite my humble background. From now on every generation will say I was blessed.
49 ogulvgavbolo Kairungnv Pwknvyarnv ngoogv lvgabv kainvgo rijipv Ninyigv aminv Darwknv;
God Almighty has done great things for me; his name is holy.
50 yvvdw ninyia mvngdv dunv um nw singtam gonv lokv singtam gonv lobv aya kaatamdu.
His mercy lasts for generation after generation to those who respect him.
51 Ninyigv kainv laakv laklinla okv kai mvngsunv bunugv rungnam mvnwngnga mvyakriyak toku.
With his power he has broken to pieces those who arrogantly think they're so clever.
52 Nw kainv dvbv vdwa bunugv dvbvdooging vdwloka naalu toku, okv nyaknyinv vdwa naacha toku.
He tears the powerful down from their thrones, and elevates those who are humble.
53 Nw kanonv vdwa alvnv dvnam lokv dvji motoku, okv nyitv vdwa laak arobv vngmu toku.
He fills the hungry with good things to eat, and he sends the rich away empty-handed.
54 Nw ngonugv abuapa vdwa milv kunama vvbwngto, okv ninyigv pakbu Israel vdwa ridurbv aatoku.
He has helped his servant Israel, remembering him in mercy,
just as he promised our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants for ever.” (aiōn g165)
56 Meri poolu pwom gubv Elijabetnyi lvkobv dootokula okv vbvrikunamv naambv vngkur toku.
Mary stayed with her for three months and then returned home.
57 Elijabet ninyigv kuu nga bvngkunam lvgabv dw v aatoku, okv nw kuunyilo gobv bvnglin toku.
The time came for Elizabeth to have her baby and she gave birth to a son.
58 Ninyigv namrwk ajin okv ninyigv amiasa ngv tvvpatoku vdwgo kairungnv alvnvgo ninyia Ahtu ripv vla, okv bunu mvnwngngv ninyia lvkobv himpu minggv toku.
Her neighbors and relatives heard how the Lord had showed her great kindness, and they celebrated together with her.
59 Vdwlo anga ngv kaila alu pinw tokudw, bunu ninyia ayakmvu dubv aatoku, okv bunu ninyia abu Jakaria gv kochingbv vla Jakaria vla amin mintvto.
Eight days later they came to circumcise the boy. They planned to call him Zechariah after his father.
60 Vbvritola ninyigv anv ngv minto, “Maa! ninyigv amin am Jon vdubv.”
“No,” Elizabeth said. “He shall be called John.”
61 Bunu ninyia minto, “Vbvritola ho aminv nonugvlo vkvnv amin doringnv kaama!”
“But there's nobody among your relatives who has this name,” they told her.
62 Vbvrikunamv bunu ninyigv abua vmia ogu amin minso mvngpvdw vla kaachin dubv rijitoku.
Through gestures they asked Zechariah, the boy's father, what he wanted to call his son.
63 Jakaria lvknvnv atakgo kooto okv lvktoku, “Ninyigv aminv Jon.” Bunu mvnwngngv lamdokpanya toku!
Zechariah motioned for something to write on. To everyone's surprise he wrote, “His name is John.”
64 Vbvrire hoka Jakaria lvkodv gaam milin nyutoku, okv Pwknvyarnvnyi hartv raptoku.
Immediately he could speak again, and he started praising God.
65 Namrwk ajin mvnwngngv lvkobv busu nyatoku, okv svbv rikunam gv yunying ngv Judia gv moodw diringmooku mvnwnglo dupwng toku.
All those living nearby were in awe at what had happened, and the news spread throughout the hill country of Judea.

Everyone who heard the news wondered what it meant. “What will the little boy grow up to be?” they asked, for it was clear he was very special to God.
67 Jon gv abu Jakaria gvlo Darwknv Dow v doolwkto, okv nw Pwknvyarnv gv doin a minto:
Zechariah, his father, filled with the Holy Spirit, spoke this prophecy:
68 “Klvi Ahtunyi hartv laju, Israel gv Pwknvyarnvnyi! Nw ninyigv nyi vdwa ridurnam lvgabv aatoku okv bunua ringlin toku.
“The Lord, the God of Israel, he is wonderful, for he has come to his people and set them free.
69 Nw ngonua kainv ringria nvgo jipvku, ninyigv pakbu Dabid gv husi go.
He has given us a great Savior from the line of his servant David,
as he promised through his holy prophets long ago. (aiōn g165)
71 nw ho ngonua nyimak vdwloka ringria jinvku, ngonua kaanwng manv vdwgv gwlwk lokv ngaka.
He promised to save us from our enemies, from those who hate us.
72 Nw ngonugv abuapa vdwa aya kaatamre vla minto okv ninyigv darwkbv milvnam a mvngpa reku.
He was merciful to our fathers, remembering his holy agreement—

He gives us freedom from fear and rescues us from our enemies,
75 Ngonugv singnam alu dvkiam ngonu ninyigv kaagia lo darwk okv jvjv kunam lvgabv.”
so we can serve him by doing what is good and right for our whole lives.
76 “No, ngoogv kuu, nam minre Kaiyachok nvgv Pwknvyarnv gv nyijwk. No Ahtunyi vngchoyare ninyigv lvgabv lamtv nga pachola papv jire,
Even though you are only a small child, you will be called the prophet of the Most High, for you will go ahead of the Lord to prepare his way,

providing knowledge of salvation to his people through the forgiveness of their sins.

80 Vmiv singchala amar lokvla dow lokv chvrvto, okv nw Israel nyi vdwlo kaatam sudw alu lobv mootum lo rito.
The boy John grew and became spiritually strong. He lived in the desert until the time came for his public ministry to Israel.
