Luk 1
1 Ayanam Tiopilas: Ngonugv pinko so ogugo ripvkudw hum lvkdubv awgo nyi vdwv bunugv lvgvlvmabv rikw nyatoku.
Many have undertaken to compose an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,
2 Ogugo ripvkudw um atuk alu lo tvvnvkaanv vdwgv doin a japkarla ngonua minji kunama bunu lvktoku.
just as they were handed down to us by the initial eyewitnesses and servants 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.
Therefore, having carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,
4 Ngo sum ridu ogulvgavbolo nonua minjinam ho gv jvjv mvnwngnga alvbv chimuso mvngla.
so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
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.
In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah, and whose wife Elizabeth was a daughter of Aaron.
6 Anyiv Pwknvyarnv gv kaagialo alvbv rila reto, okv Ahtu gv nyetin Pvbv nga alvbv mvnggapla rila reto.
Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and decrees of the Lord.
7 Bunyi kuu kaamato ogulvgavbolo Elijabet akoka bvngmato, okv nw okv Jakaria bunyi achialvbv nyikam ongu toku.
But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well along in years.
8 Alu logolo Pwknvyarnvnaam lo Jakaria nyibubv rila ninyigv kudungkua rise nga naala ridungto,
One day while Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,
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 the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10 vdwlo nampunv mwkwmwya mwwdw v aapv kudw nyi nyitwng ngv agumlo kumtoku.
And at the hour of the incense offering, the whole congregation was praying outside.
11 Ahtu gv nyidogindung gonv nampunv mwkwmwya mwwku lakbik kiambv daktola ninyia kaatam sitoku.
Just then an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Vdwlo Jakaria nyidogindung nga kaapa tokudw, nw lamla okv busuto.
When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and gripped with fear.
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 said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John.
14 Vdwlo ninyia bvnglin kubolo, noola okv kvvbi vdwv vdwgo mvngpunam gubv ririkudw!
He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice at his birth,
15 Nw Ahtu gv kaagialo kainv nyi gobv rire. Nw opo tvngrung mare. Ninyia bvnglin rilokv nw Darwknv Dow gvnvgubv rire,
for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He shall never take wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb.
16 okv nw Israel nyi vdwam Ahtu gvlo bunugv Pwknvyarnv gvlo awgo aagv jireku.
Many of the sons of Israel he will turn 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.”
And he will go on before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared 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 of this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “I am an old man, and my wife is well along in years.”
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,” replied the angel. “I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring 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.”
And now you will be silent and unable to speak until the day this comes to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at their proper time.”
21 Vbvrirelo nyi vdwv Jakarianyi kaaya toku okv bunu ninyia ogubvdabvre ogubv Pwknvyarnvnaam arwnglo vkamjegu ringak dvnvdw vla mvngnya toku.
Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he took 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 he came out and was unable to speak to them, they realized he had seen a vision in the temple. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless.
23 Vdwlo ninyigv ridung rise nga ritokubvdw nw naambv vngtoku.
And when the days of his service were complete, he returned home.
24 Dw mego dooro kochingbv ninyigv nywng Elijabet kuu gvvtoku okv poolu pwngu go naam a vngyu matoku.
After these days, his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. She declared,
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. In these days He has shown me favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.”
26 Elijabet gv kuu gvla poolu pwkv rikulo, Pwknvyarnv nyidogindung Gabrielnyi Galili gv banggu aminv Najareth vnamlo vngmu toku.
In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,
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.
to a virgin pledged in marriage to a man named Joseph, who was of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary.
28 Nyido gindung ngv nyijar gvlo aala minto, “Mvngpuv nam lvkobv doolaka! Ahtu nam lvkobv doodu okv nam kairungbv boktalwkjidu!”
The angel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! 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 greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
30 Nyidogindung ngv ninyia minto, “Meri, no busu mabvka; Pwknvyarnv nam achialvbv ayado.
So the angel told her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 No kuu gvvre okv nyilo gobv bvngre, okv no ninyia Jisu vla amin minre.
Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name 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 great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David,
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 end!” (aiōn g165)
34 Meri nyidogindung nga minto, “Ngo nyijar darwk nvgo. Vbvrikunamv si oguaingbv rinyure?”
“How can this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am 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.
The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the Holy One to be born 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.
Look, even Elizabeth your relative has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called barren is in her sixth month.
37 Vkvlvgabv Pwknvyarnv gvlo ogugoka rinyu manamgo kaama.”
For no word from God will ever fail.”
38 Meri minto, “Ngo Ahtu gv paknv ngv, noogv minam vbv ngam rimulaka.” Okv nyidogindung ngv ninyia vngyu toku.
“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it happen to me according to your word.” Then the angel left her.
39 Vbvriro sopikda Meri baapubv mvgemvrap sitoku okv Judia mooku gv moodw lokv doonv banggu akolo baapubv vngtoku.
In those days Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judah,
40 Nw Jakaria gv naamlo aato okv Elijabetnyi mvngpula raarwk sitoku.
where she entered the home of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
41 Vdwlo Elijabet Meri gv mvngpula raarwk sinama tvvpa pvkudw, leit gv anga ngv biitoku. Elijabet gvlo Darwknv Dowv doolwkto
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and 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!
In a loud voice she exclaimed, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
43 Svkvnv ogu kainv ngoogvlo ogubv ripv nvdw, v ngoogv Ahtu gv anv ngv aala ngam kaalwkyadunv?
And why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Noogv alvpvri vnama ngo tvvpa sopikda, ngoogv arwng gv anga si mvngpula chumkar toku.
For as soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
45 Ahtu gv nam minam v jvjvbv ho rirungre vla mvngjwng kunamv no vdwgo mvngpu vku!”
Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord’s word to her will be fulfilled.”
46 Meri mitoku, “Ngoogv haapok v Ahtunyi hartv do;
Then Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 ngoogv yalu hvka mvngpudo ogulvgavbolo Pwknvyarnv ngoogv Ringnv,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!
48 nw nga mvngpa toku, ninyigv anyanv paknv gvbv Vjak gvlokv nyi mvnwng ngv ngam mvngpunv vre,
For He has looked with favor on the humble state of His servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed.

For the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is His name.
50 yvvdw ninyia mvngdv dunv um nw singtam gonv lokv singtam gonv lobv aya kaatamdu.
His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation.
51 Ninyigv kainv laakv laklinla okv kai mvngsunv bunugv rungnam mvnwngnga mvyakriyak toku.
He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
52 Nw kainv dvbv vdwa bunugv dvbvdooging vdwloka naalu toku, okv nyaknyinv vdwa naacha toku.
He has brought down rulers from their thrones, but has exalted the humble.
53 Nw kanonv vdwa alvnv dvnam lokv dvji motoku, okv nyitv vdwa laak arobv vngmu toku.
He has filled the hungry with good things, but has sent the rich away empty.
54 Nw ngonugv abuapa vdwa milv kunama vvbwngto, okv ninyigv pakbu Israel vdwa ridurbv aatoku.
He has helped His servant Israel, remembering to be merciful,
as He promised to our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants forever.” (aiōn g165)
56 Meri poolu pwom gubv Elijabetnyi lvkobv dootokula okv vbvrikunamv naambv vngkur toku.
Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
57 Elijabet ninyigv kuu nga bvngkunam lvgabv dw v aatoku, okv nw kuunyilo gobv bvnglin toku.
When the time came for Elizabeth to have her child, 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 that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they rejoiced 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.
On the eighth day, when they came to circumcise the child, they were going to name him after his father Zechariah.
60 Vbvritola ninyigv anv ngv minto, “Maa! ninyigv amin am Jon vdubv.”
But his mother replied, “No! He shall be called John.”
61 Bunu ninyia minto, “Vbvritola ho aminv nonugvlo vkvnv amin doringnv kaama!”
They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who bears this name.”
62 Vbvrikunamv bunu ninyigv abua vmia ogu amin minso mvngpvdw vla kaachin dubv rijitoku.
So they made signs to his father to find out what he wanted to name the child.
63 Jakaria lvknvnv atakgo kooto okv lvktoku, “Ninyigv aminv Jon.” Bunu mvnwngngv lamdokpanya toku!
Zechariah asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.
64 Vbvrire hoka Jakaria lvkodv gaam milin nyutoku, okv Pwknvyarnvnyi hartv raptoku.
Immediately Zechariah’s mouth was opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak, praising God.
65 Namrwk ajin mvnwngngv lvkobv busu nyatoku, okv svbv rikunam gv yunying ngv Judia gv moodw diringmooku mvnwnglo dupwng toku.
All their neighbors were filled with awe, and people throughout the hill country of Judea were talking about these events.

And all who heard this wondered in their hearts and asked, “What then will this child become?” For the Lord’s hand was with him.
67 Jon gv abu Jakaria gvlo Darwknv Dow v doolwkto, okv nw Pwknvyarnv gv doin a minto:
Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
68 “Klvi Ahtunyi hartv laju, Israel gv Pwknvyarnvnyi! Nw ninyigv nyi vdwa ridurnam lvgabv aatoku okv bunua ringlin toku.
“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and redeemed His people.

He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David,

76 “No, ngoogv kuu, nam minre Kaiyachok nvgv Pwknvyarnv gv nyijwk. No Ahtunyi vngchoyare ninyigv lvgabv lamtv nga pachola papv jire,
And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for Him,

80 Vmiv singchala amar lokvla dow lokv chvrvto, okv nw Israel nyi vdwlo kaatam sudw alu lobv mootum lo rito.
And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the wilderness until the time of his public appearance to Israel.
