Luuka 1
1 kulyuve mwoghopua Tiofilo avaanhu vinga valembile imhola isa Yesu Kilisite ndavule silyavombike kulyusue.
Whereas many have undertaken to compose a narrative of the things, which have been fully certified among us;
2 valembile imhola isi ndavule tulyapangilue na vano valyalolile na maaso ghave, navano valyasipulisie kuhuma vuvutengulilo vwake.
as they delivered them to us, who were from the beginning eye-witnesses of them, and ministers of the word;
3 ulwakuva nilondile vunono uvwakyang'haani vwa mhola sa Yesu vuhuma vuvutengulilo lino najune nivwene lunono kukulembela isi sooni muvutavike.
it seemed good to me also, having thoroughly traced them all from the very first, to write an account of them in order to thee,
4 neke ulukagule ulwakyang'haani lwa mbombo sino ukavulanisivue.
most excellent Theophilus, that thou mayst know the certainty of the things wherein thou hast been instructed.
5 mu fighono fya Helode untwa ghwa Yudea, pwealyale untekesi jumonga juno alyale ikemelua Sakalia ughwa lukolo lwa Abia un'dala ghwake alyahumile muvaliive va Haluni, ni litavua lyake alyale ikemelua Elisabeti.
There was in the days of Herod king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the family of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
6 voni van valyale vagholofu pa maaso gha Nguluve amaghendele ghale ghasita kukuvapika mundaghilo sooni munjovele ja Mutwa.
And they were both righteous in the sight of God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7 neke navalyale nu mwana ulwakuva uElisabeti alyale mughumba na kukavalilo akuo voni vale vaghogholofijo.
And they had no child, for Elisabeth was barren; and they were both far advanced in years.
8 lino lulyahumile kuuti uSakalia alyale nu Mhepo umwimike kuvutavike vwa Nguluve. akalutile nuvutavike vwa vutekesi kuhumila mu vutavike vwa ludimo lwake.
And it came to pass, while he was in the order of his course performing the priest's office before God,
9 kwevulyale uvutavike uvwa kuvomba mu nyumba ja Nguluve veni umuunhu untekesi, veni idalikila akasalulua ikipugha akingila mu nhumba ja Mutwa akanyanya uvufumba.
according to the custom of dividing the office of the priests, that it fell to his lot to burn incense, entring into the temple of the Lord:
10 ilipugha lyoni lya vaanhu vakava vikufunya kunji ye vinyanya uvusumba.
and all the people were praying without at the time of offering incense.
11 unyaMhola ghwa Mutwa akamwumila na kukwiima ulubale lwa luvoko lwa ndia kufitekelelo kuno vinyanyila uvusumba.
And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right hand of the altar of incense.
12 uSakalia akoghopa ye alwaghile ulutetemo lulyamughwila.
And when Zacharias saw him, he was startled and struck with fear:
13 neke unyaMhola akam'bula kuuti, ulekaghe pikwoghopa Sakalia ulwakuva ulufunyo lwako lupulikike. undala ghwako uElisabeti ikukuholela umwana ilitavua lyake ghukun'kemela Yohani.
but the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias; for thy prayer is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John:
14 ghuliva nu lukelo na kuhovoka, na vinga vikuhovokela kuholua kwa mwene.
and he shall be a joy and transport to thee, yea, many shall rejoice on account of his birth; for he shall be great in the sight of the Lord,
15 ulwakuva iliva nu vuvaha kuhuma kwa Mutwa ujuo nanganyisaghe nambe kimonga kino kighasia. looli ingufu sa Mhepo umwimike siiva nu mwene kuhuma pano ali mulileme lwa ng'iina.
and he shall drink neither wine nor any other strong liquor; and he shall be filled with the holy Spirit even from his birth;
16 na vaanhu vinga ava Silaeli ilikuvagomosiagha kwa Nguluve uMutwa ghwave.
and many of the children of Israel shall he convert unto the Lord their God.
17 ujuo ilikumulongolela uMutwa mu ngufu nu mwojo ndavule alyale uEliya kusambania mu ngufu sa Mhepo uMwimike neve vano navikumwoghopa vighendagha muluhala lwa vano valweli. ikuvavombela ndiki kukuvavika kwa Mutwa avaanhu vano vaghelanisivue vwimila jake.
And he shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to prepare for the Lord a people well-disposed.
18 uSakalia akam'bula unyaMhola, “niwesia ndani kukagula ili? ulwakuva une nili nsehe nu n'dala ghwango na maka ghake ghali minga kyongo”.
And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife far advanced in years.
19 unyaMhola akamwamula na kumb'ula, une nene Gabilieli, nejuno nikwima pavulongolo pa Nguluve. nisung'ilue kukuvuula, kukuletela iMhola inofu iji.
And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God, and I am sent to speak to thee, and to tell thee this good news:
20 kange lolagha, nungajove kinu ghuva kimie nungawesie kujova kuhanga ikighono kila pano isi siva sihumile. ulu lwe ulwakuva ukakunilue kukwitika amasio ghango ghano mu nsiki ghiva ghavombike.
and now shalt thou be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall come to pass; because thou believedst not my words, which shall be fulfilled at their season.
21 lino avaanhu valyale vikumughula uSakalia. valyadeghile kuuti alyale itumila unsiki mwinga ku nyumba inyimike ja kufunyila.
And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and wondered at his staying so long in the temple:
22 neke ye ahumile kunji, akakunilue kujova navo. pe aveene vakakagula kuuti, luvonike lumonga mu nyuma inyimike neke umwene akava ihufia lumonga na mavoko. akajigha kinunu.
but when he came out he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them, and continued speechless:
23 ye fisilile ifighono fyakuvomba imbombo jakilekesi ayavukile kugomoka kunyumba jake.
and as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
24 pambele uSakalia akavuja kukaja kuhuma ku mbombo sake sakitekesi un'dala ghwake akava n'kunue, akifisa amesi ghahaano akajova.
And after these days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and retired five months,
25 “ulwakuva lwe luno uMutwa ambombile une ye andolile kulughano lwoni kukumbusikisia isoni pa maaso gha vaanhu”
saying, the Lord hath thus dealt with me in the days wherein he looked upon me to take away my reproach among men.
26 ye ghufikile umwesi ghwa n'tanda pavukunue vwa Elisabeti uNguluve akatuma unyaMhola uGabilieli kuluta mu iisi ja Galilaya ilitavua ilinge Nasaleti,
But in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee called Nazareth,
27 kwa mhinja juno akatambulwagha Maliya. kwa mhinja juno alyatunilue nu mughosi ilitavua lyake ghwe Yosefu. umuholua mukikolo kya Davidi nilitavua lya mhinja akakemeluagha ghwe Maliya.
to a virgin who was betrothed to a man, whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.
28 unyaMhola ye afikile akati, “nikukuhungila uve ghwe juno usungukilue nu Mutwa, uMutwa alinuve;
And when the angel came in to the room to her, he said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured; the Lord is with thee;
29 amasio ghanyaMhola ghaka mangajisia kyongo mu mwojo ghwake na alyaghamanyile kiki unyaMhola ihungila hungila iji kidegho.
blessed art thou among women! and when she saw him, she was confused at what he said, and pondered in her mind what sort of salutation this could be.
30 unyaMhola akam'bula “nungoghopaghe Maliya ulwakuva uNguluve akusungukile.
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favor with God:
31 lolagha ghuva nu vukunue, ghupapagha umwana neke ghukun'kemelagha ilitavua ghwe Yesu.
and behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS:
32 iliva m'baha ikemeluagha mwana ghwa juno alikukyanya kyongo, uMutwa uNguluve neke ikumpelagha ikitengo kya vutwa kya Davidi uvuse.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God shall give Him the throne of David his father,
and He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
34 uMaliya akam'bula unyaMhola ili, iva ndani ulwakuva une nanighelile kuvwafuka nu mughosi ghwoghwoni?
Then said Mary to the angel, How can this be, since I am a virgin?
35 unyamhola akamwamula akam'bula “uMhepo uMwimike ikwisa kulyuve. ni ngufu sa juno alikukyanya kyongo sikwisa kulyuve. pe lino umwimike juno iholua ikemeluagha mwana ghwa Nguluve.
And the angel answered and said unto her, The holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee, and therefore thine holy offspring shall be called the Son of God: and lo,
36 lolagha ulukololuo uElisabeti alinuukunue vwa mwana mufighono fyake fya vughogholo, ughu ghwe mwesi ghwa n'tanda juno valyatile mughumba.
thy cousin Elisabeth also hath conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her that was called barren;
37 ulwakuva kwa Nguluve nakwekili kino kimuulemile”
for nothing is impossible with God.
38 uMaliya akajova akati, une nilim'baanda ghwa Mutwa neke luuleke luve luve kulyune ndavule ujovile” pe pano unyaMhola akavuka iluta.
Then Mary said, Behold the servant of the Lord, may it be unto me according to thy word. So the angel departed from her.
39 ye fikikile ifighono nde filingi uMaliya avuka ng'haning'habi na kuluta ku iisi jimonga jino jale nyafidunda, ija Yudea.
Then Mary arose and went with speed into the hill-country, to a city of Juda,
40 ukuo akingila mu nyumba ija Sakalia na kumwungila uElisabeti,
and came into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
41 lino pe lulyahumile kuuti,” uElisabeti ye apulike uluhungilo lwa Maliya. umwana mu lileme akaomoka tomoka, neke uElisabeti ingufu isa Mhepo uMwimike sikamwisila.
And as soon as Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the child leaped in her womb, and Elisabeth was filled with the holy Spirit:
42 pe akatengula pijova kungufu akati, “ufunyilue uve mukighavo kya vakijuuva najumwana juno alimulileme lyako afunyilue.
and she cried out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb:
43 neke lulindani kulyune ungiina ghwa Mutwa lunoghile pikwisa kulyune?
and whence is this honor to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 ulwakuva lolagha ye lupulikike mu mbughulutu sango ilisio lya kuhungila kulyuve umwana mulileme lyango atomwike nu lukelo.
for behold, as soon as the voice of thy salutation reached my ears, the child in my womb leaped for joy:
45 neke afunyilue umukijuva jula juno alyitike kuuti vulyahumila uvya kyang'haani vwa sino alyavulilue kuhuma kwa Mutwa”.
and blessed is she that believed; for there shall be a performance of the things that were told her from the Lord.
46 uMaliya akati, inimbula jango jikunfunya uMutwa,
And Mary said, "My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour;
47 naghumwojo ghwango ghuvovwike mwa Nguluve umpoki ghwango.
for He hath regarded the low estate of his handmaid:
48 ulwakuva avulolile uvukotofu vwa m'banda ghwake umhinja. lolagha kuhuma mu fisina fyoni vikughonelagha nilifunyua.
for behold, from henceforth shall all generations call me blessed:
49 ulwakuva umwene unya sooni avombile sino mbaha kylyune. ni litavua lyake ilyimike.
for He that is mighty hath done great things for me,
50 uvukola vwake kuhuma ikisina ni kisina ku vano vikumwopa umwene.
and his name is holy, and his mercy is on them that fear Him, unto all generations.
51 avonisie ingufu mu luvoko lyake avapalanisie vala vano vakighiniagha mu masaghe gha mooja ghave.
He hath wrought powerfully with his arm; He hath confounded those that were proud in the imagination of their heart.
52 avisisie paasi avana va vatwa kuhuma mufitengo fyave ifya vutwa na kukuvatosia kukyanya vano vakotofu.
He hath cast down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the humble.
53 alyavapelile avanya njala ifinu ifi nono looli avamofu avadagile na mavoko gheene.
He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He hath sent away empty.
54 ahumisie uvutangilisi kwa Isilaeli um'bombi ghake, neke akumuke kuvonesia uvuhugu.
He hath supported Israel his servant,
55 (ndavule alyajovile kuvanhaata vitu) kwa Abulahamu ni fisina fyake kuvusila na kusila” (aiōn g165)
in remembrance of his mercy (even as He promised to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed, ) for ever." (aiōn g165)
56 uMalia alikalile nu Elisabeti hwene mesi ghatatu pepano akagomoka ku nyumba ja mwene.
And Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her own house.
57 lino unsiki ghulyafikile ughwa Elisabeti kupaapa umwana un'dimi.
Now when Elisabeth's time for her delivery was fully come, she brought forth a son:
58 avabading'ani vake na vanyalukolo vake valyapulike ndavule uMutwa atupelanisie mu vuhugu vwake, kange vakahovoka palikimo nu mwene.
and her neighbours and kindred heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they congratulated her;
59 lino kilyahumile ikighono kya lekela kwoni valisile kukivungo najumwana lulyanoghile vampele ilitavua lyake ghwe Sakalia kulwiho lwa vise.
and on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child: and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father:
60 looli ung'ina akamula akati, “ndali” ikemelua ghwe Yohani”
but his mother said, No, but he shall be called John:
61 vakam'bula napwale nambe jumo mulukolo juno itambulua ku litavua ili”
and they said to her, There is none of thy relations of this name.
62 pe vakam'bombela ikimanyilo uvise kuuti, umwene iti ilitavua akemelue veni.
And they made signs to his father, what name he would have him called by.
63 uvise akalonda ikisegho akalemba “ilitavua ghwe Yohani” voni vakadegha ku ili
And he called for a writing-tablet, and wrote upon it, His name is John: and they all wondered.
64 ku kenyemukila umulomo ghake ghukadinduka nu lumili lwake lukava vuleka akajova na kukumughinia uNguluve
And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake and praised God.
65 uludwesi lukavisila voni vano valikalile pipi navoimbombo isio sikakwilana mu iisi jooni ja fidunda fya Yudea,
And an awe fell upon all that dwelt round about them; and all these things were divulged through the whole hill-country of Judea.
66 na voni vano valyaghapulike vakaghagadilila mu mwoojo ghave, vakati umwana uju ghwa ndani ndani?” ulwakuva uluvoko lwa Mutwa lulyale palikimo naghwo.
And all that heard them, laid them up in their hearts, saying, What a child will this be? And the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 ivise ghwa Sakalia akapeluula ingufu nu Mhepo uMwimike akatengula kuhumia uvuvili akatisagha,
And his father Zacharias was filled with the holy Spirit,
68 aghinwaghe uMutwa, uNguluve ghwa Isilaeli, ulwakuva atangile kange na kukuvavanga avaanhu vake.
and prophesied, saying, "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,
69 atupelile uvupoki kuhuma mu nyumba ja nyambombo ghwake u Davidi, kuhuma mukikolo kya m'bombi ghwake uDavidi.
and hath raised up an horn of salvation for us,
in the house of his servant David, as He spake by the mouth of his holy prophets from the beginning, (aiōn g165)
71 alatupoka kuhuma kuvalugu viitu na kuhuma mumavoko ghavaanhu vooni vano vikutukalalila.
even salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
72 alavomba ndiki kuvonesia ulusungu kuvanhaata vitu na kukumbuka ululaghilo lwake ulwimike.
to display his mercy towards our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
73 ulujigho luno alayjovile kwa Abulahamu unhaata ghwitu.
according to the oath which He sware to Abraham our father,
74 alyajighile na kunkangasia kuuti lunoghile pikum'bombela umwene kisila vwoghofi pano tupokilue pihuma mumavoko ghavalugu viitu.
to grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him,
75 muvwimike na muvagholofu uvwakyang'haani pa maaso ghake ni fighono fyake fyoni.
all the days of our life.
76 Ena, najuve mwana ghukemeluagha uli mb'ili ghw ajuno ali kukyanya fiijo ulwakuva alyaghendelelagha ku maaso ghwa Mutwa kuuti ikuvavonesia isila. neke kukunosekesia isila avaanhu pano ikwisagha umwene.
And thou, my child, shalt be called the prophet of the most High; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord,
77 kukuvavula avaanhu vake kuuti valapyanilwagha valavuvunagha uvupoki kusila kusila ja vupoki vwa nyfi saave.
to make known salvation to his people,
78 ili lilyahumile ulwakuva ja lusungu lwa Nguluve ghwitu ulwakuva ilijuva kuhuma kukyanya likutwisila.
in the remission of their sins, through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring hath visited us from on high,
79 kukutumulikila ku vano vikalile mu ng'isi nu lumwighighi ghwa vafue alavomba ndiki kulongosia amaghulu ghitu kusila ja lutengano.”
to enlighten them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet into the way of peace."
80 lino umwana jula akakula na kuva nyangufu mwa Mhepo uMwimike. alikalile kulihaka kuhanga unsiki ghuno akavonekagha ku vaSilaeli.
And the child grew, and became strong in spirit: and he was in the deserts till the time of his being manifested to Israel.
