Luka 1
1 Anit gbardang wa mala unyertinu nadu adu na ana malu kulu nanya bit.
Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a narration of the things that have been accomplished among us;
2 Alenge na iwa di iyizin yenju ucizunun burne ida so acin ligbulang, ida so acin ligbulang, ida belle arike ku.
According as they have delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word:
3 Nani, udu menku gigime wang nin feru nimoon dert oworu uburnu-nnan nyertine inin dert-udak kitin Theofilus unit ugigime.
It seemed good to me also, having diligently attained to all things from the beginning, to write to thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
4 Ndi nin su iyinin incasarak nimoon ile na ina masu minu.
That thou mayest know the verity of those words in which thou hast been instructed.
5 Nanya nayirin Hiridus, ugon Yahudiya, umong unit wa duku ku priest lisa me Zakariya, unuzun likuran Abijah. Uwani me wa di unuzu anashonon Haruna, lisa me Alisabatu.
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zachary, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.
6 Vat mine iwa cinu dert mbun Kutelle, icing lau sa utanu vat nanya nadu na Kutelle wa di nin su we.
And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and justifications of the Lord without blame.
7 Na iwa di nin nonol ba, bara na Alisabatu wa di uwanin sali kumat, vat mun wa di imalu ti akune.
And they had no son, for that Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
8 Lon liyiri Zakariya wa di kiti katwa me kan ti priest mbun Kutelle.
And it came to pass, when he executed the priestly function in the order of his course before God,
9 A priest nanya nadu ale na imenen sue ifere Zakariya ku a piro nanya kutiin nlira Kutelle a juju uhadaya.
According to the custom of the priestly office, it was his lot to offer incense, going into the temple of the Lord.
10 Ligoo na nite vat wa sosin ndas iyitan nlira kube na iwa jujun hadaye.
And all the multitude of the people was praying without, at the hour of incense.
11 Gono kadura Kutelle tunna a nusno mbun me, a yisina likoot ncara ulime kupo napik njujuzun hadaya.
And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the alter of incense.
12 Zakariya ta zabat kube na awa yeneghe; bara na fiu wa kifoghe kang.
And Zachary seeing him, was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
13 Gono kadura Kutelle woroghe, “Na uwa lanza fiu ba, Zakariya, bara ina lanza nlira fe. Uwane fe, Alisabatu, ama maru fi gono, uma ni lisa me Yohanna.
But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachary, for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John:
14 Ima se mmang nin kibinai ki mang bara ame, anit gbardang ma lanzu mang nin maru me.
And thou shalt have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice in his nativity.
15 Ame ma yitu unit u dya kiti Kutelle. Na a ma sonu nmyen nanab sa ntoro ba, Ima kulu ngeh nin Ruhu Ulau a dutu nanya liburin nna me.
For he shall be great before the Lord; and shall drink no wine nor strong drink: and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.
16 A ma ti non Israila grardang i kpilin udak kitin Cikilari Kutelle mine.
And he shall convert many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.
17 A ma katu mbun me nanyan ruhu nin likaran Iliya. A ma kpiliu nibinai na cif udu kitin nono, a ti anan dortun liru i cunu nanyan yiru nin libau licine. Ama su nani anan ta anit isoo kiti kirum nanya lisosin ncaa ndak Ncikilari.”
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias; that he may turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and the incredulous to the wisdom of the just, to prepare unto the Lord a perfect people.
18 Zakariya woron gono kadura kutelle, “Nmati iyiziari nyimin kubin dak ni le imone? Bara na meng kukune ari, uwani ning tutung mali ti kuwali.”
And Zachary said to the angel: Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.
19 Gono kadura Kutelle kpana a woro, “Meere Jibrailu, in yisin mbun Kutelle. I wa tuyi nda bellin fi nda nifi uliru umang ulele.
And the angel answering, said to him: I am Gabriel, who stand before God: and am sent to speak to thee, and to bring thee these good tidings.
20 Yene, uma ti uturo na u ma liru ba se kubi ko na uliru ulele ma kulu, bara unari uyinnu nin tigbulang too ne, ton go na ti ma kulu nanya kubi ku dert.”
And behold, thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be able to speak until the day wherein these things shall come to pass, because thou hast not believed my words, which shall be fulfilled in their time.
21 Nanya nani, anite wa din ncaan Zakariya iyitan Kpilizue iyang ari ta a mini dandauna tituut nanya kutiin nlire nani.
And the people were waiting for Zachary; and they wondered that he tarried so long in the temple.
22 Kube na awa nuzu udas, na ayinno uliru nan ngyinu ba, itunna yinno a di yene amoro Kutelle nanya kutiin nlire. A bela nani nin nacara, nna yinno uliru nin nuu ba.
And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they understood that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he made signs to them, and remained dumb.
23 Na ayiri katwa me nkulo, a yanya udu kilari.
And it came to pass, after the days of his office were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
24 Na ayirin nda, uwani me Alisabatu ta liburi. A nyeshe litime tipui titaun, adin su,
And after those days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying:
25 “Ile imone Kutelle ari suui mun. Adin yenjii, aba kalui imon ncing nanya na nit.”
Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he hath had regard to take away my reproach among men.
26 Nene nanya mpuin toocin nin ti liburin Alisabatu, itoo gono kadura Kutelle Jibrailu udu nanya nkang kagbirin Galili, lisa kanin Nazarat,
And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
27 kitin nkong kubura na awa su likawali nin mong unit lisa me Yusufu. A wa di likura nan Dauda, lisa kubure wa di Maryamu.
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
28 Gono kaddura Kutelle da kiti me, a woro, “Nliso fi, udi gongong kang! Kutelle di ligowe ninfi!”
And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 A tunna ata kpak nin tigbulang to ne, anin kpiliza sa imus ni yapin ilipp ari ine di.
Who having heard, was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be.
30 Gono kadure woroghe, “Na uwa lanza fiu ba, Maryamu, fee nse ngongong kiti Kutelle.
And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.
31 See, u ma ti liburi u maru gono, u ma ninghe lisa Yesu.
Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
32 A ma yitu udya, i ma yicu lisa me Gonon Ngo Udya kitene kani. Kutelle Ucif ma nighe kutett tigo ncif me, Dauda.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father;
33 A ma su tigo kitene nakuran Yakubu udu sa ligang, na kutii tigo me ma yitu nin nimalin ba.” (aiōn g165)
and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever. And of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
34 Maryamu woron gono kadure, “Iyiziari ile imone ma ti, meng tutung du kabura?”
And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?
35 Gono kadura woro nghe, “Uruhu Ulau ma dak Kiti fe nin likara Ndya kitene kani ma kirinfi. Bara nani, unit ulau une na uma maru i ma yicu lisa me Gono Kutelle.
And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
36 Yene, Alisabatu likura fe wang di nin fisud (liburi) nanya tiwali me. A di nanyan piu untoocin nin libure, vat nin yicue na iwa yicu nghe uwanin diru kumat.
And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren:
37 Na imon katin likara Kutelle ba.”
Because no word shall be impossible with God.
38 Maryamu woro, “Usoo nani, meng kucin Ncikilari ari.” Na ile imone so dert nafo na ubelle.
And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
39 Nanya nayiri ane Maryamu tunna a fita dedeiughanu udu kipin, udu kang kagbiri nayan Yahudiya.
And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.
40 A pira nanya kilarin Zakariya a liso Alisabatu ku.
And she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted Elizabeth.
41 Kube na Alisabatu wa lanza ilippin Maryamu, gono nanya liburi me tunna ki metiline, Alisabatu tunna a kulo nin Ruhu Ulau.
And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
42 A tunna a lirina a ghantina liwui kang a woro, “Fe unan mmari ari nanya nawani, fisudu nanya liburi fe wang di nin mmari.
And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43 Iyizi ari nta unan Cikilari ning na dak kiti ning?
And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Kubi kongo na liwui nilip fe wa diu natuf ning, gono nanya liburi ning tunna a zulluno bara ayi aboo.
For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
45 Ame ulenge na ayinna a di nin mmari, bara na uliru ulenge na ina belin litime unuzu kitin Cikilare ma kuluu.”
And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.
46 Maryamu woro, “Ulai ning di liru Kutelle,
And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.
47 Uruhu ning di nayi abo nin Kutelle unan tucu ning.
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48 Bara na ana ghantin kuchin me kikimon. Nin nene udu ubun ji ma yicui unan mmari.
Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49 Bara na Ame Udya na su imoon ididya bara meng, tutung lisa me di lau.
Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name.
50 Nkune-kune me di kitene kuji udu kuji na nit alenge na idin lanzu fiu me.
And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.
51 Ana su imon likara nin cara me; ana malu kiti nin na lenge na idin ghantizunu ati mine.
He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
52 Ana toltizin ago ketene natet tigo mine, anin ghantina kimon.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble.
53 Ana niza anan kukpong imonli icine, anin kko anan nimon naacara sa imong nacara mine.
He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
54 Ana bun kucin me Israila, anan lizino nin
He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy:
As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever. (aiōn g165)
56 Maremu wa so nin Alisabatu tipui titat, anan kpilla udu kilari me.
And Mary abode with her about three months; and she returned to her own house.
57 Na kubin Alisabatu wa duru kongo na ama maru gono me a tunna a mara gono.
Now Elizabeth’s full time of being delivered was come, and she brought forth a son.
58 A doon lisosinn me nan likura me lanza ubeleng inkune-kune mongo na Kutelle su Maremu ku, inung wang su ayi abo ligowe ninghe.
And her neighbours and kinsfolks heard that the Lord had shewed his great mercy towards her, and they congratulated with her.
59 Ituna, na ayiri linuanu me in kulo ayiri kulir, idaa nda kalu kucuru ngone, iwa din nworu inighe lisan Zakariya, nafo lisan incifme.
And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called him by his father’s name Zachary.
60 Unan gone kpana a woro, “Babu, ima yicu lisame Yohanna ari.”
And his mother answering, said: Not so; but he shall be called John.
61 Anite woroghe, “Na umong duku nanya likura mine na idin yicughe nin lisa lole ba.”
And they said to her: There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
62 Itunna i kpiliya ucifin ngone ulire nin nacara inan yinno lisa longo na ibaa yicu gone mun.
And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
63 A joorino nin cara inighe imon nanyert, a tuna a nyertine, “Lisa me Yohanna ari.” Vat mine umamaki kifo ani.
And demanding a writing table, he wrote, saying: John is his name. And they all wondered.
64 Na nin nanzu kubi ba unuume tunna upuuno kidowo lileme buntu, a tuma nliru, nin su liru Kutelle.
And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.
65 Fiu tunna fi kifo alenge vat na iwa di ligowe kite itunnan belu nimon ilenge na isu vat nanya kipin natala ucin du Uyahidiya.
And fear came upon all their neighbours; and all these things were noised abroad over all the hill country of Judea.
66 Vat na lenge na iwa lanza ubeleng nimon ilele itunan kpilizue nanya nibinai mine iworo nenghe, “Ani nene, gono kane ma yitu Iyiziari?” Bara na iwa yinin ucaran Ncikilari di ligowe ninghe.
And all they that had heard them laid them up in their heart, saying: What an one, think ye, shall this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 Ucif me Zakariya wa kulun nin Ruhu Ulau, a tunan belu nimon ilenge na ima su mbun,
And Zachary his father was filled with the Holy Ghost; and he prophesied, saying:
68 “Liru udu kitin Cikilari, Kutellen Israila, bara na ana dak kiti bit a puuno lbaun nutunu nanitme licin.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people:
69 Ana ni nari unan likaran tucu nanya likura kucinme Dauda,
And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, in the house of David his servant:
As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, who are from the beginning: (aiōn g165)
71 A na ti nari likawalin tucu nacara na nan nivira bit, nin nacara na lenge na inari arik.
Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us:
72 Ana su nani anan durso nkune-kune udu nan kaa bite, anan nin likawale me,
To perform mercy to our fathers, and to remember his holy testament,
73 loli likawale isilinari na awa belin udu kitin kaa bit Ibrahim.
The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us,
74 A wa su isilin anan nutun nari nanya nacara na nan nikira bit anan ta nari ti sughe katwa sa fiu,
That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear,
75 nanyan nlau ni su nimon icine mbun me udu ligan nayiri bit.
In holiness and justice before him, all our days.
76 A fee, gonon ning, ima yicufi unan liru nin nuu Kutelle Ugo Udya, bara na uma diu mbun Incikilari ukelee anit bara udak me,
And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways:
77 unan buuno anit iyinin use ntucu nshawa nin nalapi mine.
To give knowledge of salvation to his people, unto the remission of their sins:
78 Kutelle bite ma shawa nin nalapi bite bara nkune-nkune migbardan me, kitenen mon kune-kune, unan tucu ulenge na adi nafo uzun nwui, ma dak unuzu kitene kani a da bun mari.
Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, in which the Orient from on high hath visited us:
79 A ma ni nkanang kiti nalenge na isosin nanyan nsirti nin kuyelin nkul. Ama dortu nin nabunu bite nanya libau lisosin limanng.”
To enlighten them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: to direct our feet into the way of peace.
80 Gone tunna ki kuno, ada nin likara kidowo nin ruhu. A wa di so nanya kusho ku kau udu kobi kongo na a wa cizin upicu nanya na nitin Isaraila.
And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit; and was in the deserts until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
