Forasmuch as many haue taken in hand to set foorth the storie of those things, whereof we are fully persuaded,
2 nihcae loe tangsuek na hoi hnukung ah oh o, tamthanglok toksah kaminawk mah, aicae khae thuih ih lok baktih toengah;
As they haue deliuered them vnto vs, which from the beginning saw them their selues, and were ministers of ye word,
3 kahoih koek Theophila, tangsuek na hoi kaom hmuennawk to kakoep ah thaikop boih moe, hmuen kaom maeto pacoeng maeto kamtomh poe ah, nangcae khaeah tarik nahaeloe hoi tih, tiah poekhaih ka tawnh,
It seemed good also to me (most noble Theophilus) assoone as I had searched out perfectly all things from the beginning, to write vnto thee thereof from point to point,
4 to tiah ni ang patuk o ih lok to kahoihah na panoek o tih.

5 Judea siangpahrang, Herod dung ah, Zakaria, tiah ahmin kaom qaima maeto oh, anih loe Abijah ih acaeng ah oh moe, a zu Elizabeth loe Aaron ih acaeng ah oh.
In the time of Herod King of Iudea, there was a certaine Priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabet.
6 Nihnik loe Sithaw hmaa ah katoeng kami ah oh hoi moe, Angraeng mah paek ih kaalok hoi sak han koi toknawk boih coek koi kaom ai ah a sak hoi.
Both were iust before God, and walked in all the commandements and ordinances of the Lord, without reproofe.
7 Elizabeth loe caa kak pongah nawkta tawn hoi ai, nihnik loe saning coeh hoi parai boeh.
And they had no childe, because that Elisabet was barren: and both were well stricken in age.
8 Anih mah angmah ih kaminawk hoi Sithaw hmaa ah qaima toksakhaih tue phak naah,
And it came to passe, as he executed the Priestes office before God, as his course came in order,
9 qaimanawk mah sakzong ih atawk baktih toengah, Angraeng tempul thungah akun moe, hmuihoih thlaekhaih loe anih ih tok ah oh.
According to the custome of the Priests office, his lot was to burne incense, when he went into the Temple of the Lord.
10 Hmuihoih thlaek nathuem ah, paroeai kaminawk loe tasa bangah lawkthuih o.
And the whole multitude of the people were without in prayer, while the incense was burning.
11 To naah anih khaeah Angraeng ih van kami maeto amtueng moe, hmuihoih thlaekhaih hmaicam bantang bangah angdoet pae.
Then appeared vnto him an Angel of the Lord standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Zakaria mah anih to hnuk naah zit moe, tasoehhaih hoiah oh.
And when Zacharias sawe him, he was troubled, and feare fell vpon him.
13 Toe van kami mah anih khaeah, Zakaria, zii hmah: na lawkthuihaih Sithaw mah thaih boeh; na zu Elizabeth mah capa maeto na sah pae tih, anih ih ahmin to Johan, tiah sak han oh.
But the Angel saide vnto him, Feare not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard, and thy wise Elisabet shall beare thee a sonne, and thou shalt call his name Iohn.
14 Anghoehaih hoi oephaih to na tawn tih; anih tapen pongah paroeai kaminawk loe anghoe o tih.
And thou shalt haue ioy and gladnes, and many shall reioyce at his birth.
15 Anih loe Angraeng mikhnuk ah kalen ah om ueloe, misurtui hoi paqui thaih koi hmuen roe nae mak ai; anih loe amno zok thung hoi kamtong Kacai Muithla hoiah koi tih.
For he shalbe great in the sight of the Lord, and shall neither drinke wine, nor strong drinke: and he shalbe filled with the holy Ghost, euen from his mothers wombe.
16 Anih mah paroeai Israel kaminawk to angmacae ih Angraeng khaeah angqoisak tih.
And many of the children of Israel shall he turne to their Lord God.

For he shall goe before him in the spirite and power of Elias, to turne the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisedome of the iust men, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
18 Zakaria mah van kami khaeah, Hae hmuen hae kawbangmaw ka panoek thai tih? Kai loe mitong boeh moe, ka zu doeh mitong boeh, tiah a naa.
Then Zacharias said vnto ye Angel, Whereby shall I knowe this? for I am an olde man, and my wife is of a great age.
19 To naah van kami mah anih khaeah, Kai loe Sithaw hmaa ah angdoe, Gabriel ah ka oh; lok kang thuih moe, kahoih hae anghoehaih tamthangnawk patuek han ih ni nang khaeah ang patoeh.
And the Angell answered, and sayde vnto him, I am Gabriel that stand in the presence of God, and am sent to speake vnto thee, and to shew thee these good tidings.
20 Khenah, atue phak naah akoep han koi kang thuih ih loknawk to na tang ai pongah, hae hmuennawk ohhaih ni pha ai karoek to, lok na aa tih, tiah a naa.
And beholde, thou shalt be domme, and not be able to speake, vntill the day that these things be done, because thou beleeuedst not my words, which shalbe fulfilled in their season.
21 Kaminawk mah Zakariah to zing o, anih loe tempul thungah akra parai boeh pongah dawnrai o.
Now the people waited for Zacharias, and marueiled that he taried so long in the Temple.
22 Anih tasa bang tacawt naah loe, kaminawk khaeah lokthui thai ai boeh: anih loe lok apae ai, kaminawk khaeah ban hoiah ni angmathaih a sak pae: to pongah kaminawk mah anih loe tempul thungah hnuksakhaih a hnuk kalang mue, tiah poek o.
And when hee came out, hee coulde not speake vnto them: then they perceiued that hee had seene a vision in the Temple: For he made signes vnto them, and remained domme.
23 Anih loe a toksakhaih boeng pacoengah, angmah im ah amlaem.
And it came to passe, when the daies of his office were fulfilled, that he departed to his owne house.
24 To ninawk boeng pacoengah a zu Elizabeth to zokpom; anih loe khrah pangato thung imthung ah anghawk,
And after those daies, his wife Elisabet conceiued, and hid her selfe fiue moneths, saying,
25 anih mah ang khet nathuem ah, kaminawk salakah kai kasae thuihaih to takhoe ving hanah, Angraeng mah kai hanah hae hmuen hae sak boeh, tiah a thuih.
Thus hath the Lord dealt with me, in the daies wherein he looked on me, to take from me my rebuke among men.
26 Elizabeth zokpomhaih khrah tarukto phak naah, Sithaw mah van kami Gabriel to Kalili prae, Nazareth vangpui ah kaom,
And in the sixth moneth, the Angell Gabriel was sent from God vnto a citie of Galile, named Nazareth,
27 David imthung takoh Joseph, tiah ahmin kaom kami mah hamh ih tangla cuem khaeah patoeh; tangla kacuem ih ahmin loe Meri.
To a virgin affianced to a man whose name was Ioseph, of the house of Dauid, and the virgins name was Marie.
28 Anih khaeah van kami to caeh moe, Kasang koek tahamhoih hnu kami, anghoe ah! Sithaw loe nang hoi nawnto oh: nang loe nongpatanawk thungah tahamhoih kami ah na oh, tiah a naa.
And the Angel went in vnto her, and said, Haile thou that art freely beloued: the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 Meri mah anih to hnuk naah, dawnrai, a palung thung hoiah kawbaktih kami tapringhaih lok maw vai, tiah poek.
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and thought what maner of salutation that should be.
30 Toe van kami mah anih khaeah, Meri, Zii hmah: nang loe Sithaw mah palung tong ih kami ah na oh boeh.
Then the Angel saide vnto her, Feare not, Marie: for thou hast found fauour with God.
31 Khenah, zok na pomh ueloe, caa nongpa maeto na sah tih, anih ih ahmin loe JESU, tiah sak han oh.
For loe, thou shalt conceiue in thy wobe, and beare a sonne, and shalt call his name Iesus.
32 Anih loe paroeai len tih, Sang koek Capa, tiah kawk o tih: Angraeng Sithaw mah Ampa David ih angraeng tangkhang to anih khaeah paek tih:
He shall be great, and shall be called the Sonne of the most High, and the Lord God shall giue vnto him the throne of his father Dauid.

And hee shall reigne ouer the house of Iacob for euer, and of his kingdome shall bee none ende. (aiōn g165)
34 To naah Meri mah van kami khaeah, Hae hmuen loe kawbangmaw angcoeng thai tih? Nongpa hoi ka om ai bae, tiah a naa.
Then sayde Marie vnto the Angel, How shall this be, seeing I knowe not man?
35 Van kami mah anih khaeah, Kacai Muithla na nuiah om tih, Kasang koek sakthaihaih tha mah na oh haih tih: to pongah nang khaeah tapen han koi Ciimcai Capa loe Sithaw Capa, tiah kawk tih.
And the Angel answered, and said vnto her, The holy Ghost shall come vpon thee, and the power of the most High shall ouershadowe thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall bee borne of thee, shall be called the Sonne of God.
36 Khenah, nam nawkamya ah kaom Elizabeth doeh mitong pacoengah caa nongpa maeto pomh boeh: anih loe caa kak, toe vaihi zokpomhaih khrah tarukto oh boeh.
And behold, thy cousin Elisabet, she hath also conceiued a sonne in her olde age: and this is her sixt moneth, which was called barren.
37 Sithaw han angcoeng thai ai hmuen tidoeh om ai, tiah a naa.
For with God shall nothing be vnpossible.

Then Marie said, Behold the seruant of the Lord: be it vnto me according to thy woorde. So the Angel departed from her.
39 Meri loe angthawk moe, Judea prae mae nuiah kaom vangpui maeto ah karangah caeh;
And Marie arose in those daies, and went into ye hil countrey with hast to a citie of Iuda,
40 Zakariah ih imthung ah akun moe, Elizabeth to lok tapring.
And entred into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabet.
41 Meri mah tapring ih lok to Elizabeth mah thaih naah, a zok thung ih nawkta to angtawt; to naah Elizabeth loe Kacai Muithla hoiah koi:
And it came to passe, as Elisabet heard the salutation of Marie, the babe sprang in her bellie, and Elisabet was filled with the holy Ghost.
42 anih mah, Nang loe nongpatanawk thungah tahamhoih kami ah na oh, na zok thung ih athaih doeh tahamhoih.
And she cried with a loud voice, and saide, Blessed art thou among women, because the fruit of thy wombe is blessed.
43 Tipongah maw ka Angraeng ih amno ah ohhaih to kai khaeah ang paek?
And whence commeth this to mee, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Khenah, nang tapringhaih lok to ka thaih naah, anghoe loiah ka zok thung ih nawkta to amloep tahang.
For loe, assoone as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine eares, the babe sprang in my bellie for ioye,
45 Angraeng khae hoi thuih ih loknawk loe anih khaeah akoep tih, tiah tanghaih tawn nongpata loe tahamhoih, tiah tha hoiah a hangh.
And blessed is shee that beleeued: for those things shall be perfourmed, which were tolde her from the Lord.
46 Meri mah, Ka hinghaih pakhra mah Angraeng to pakoeh moe,
Then Marie sayde, My soule magnifieth the Lord,
47 pahlongkung Sithaw khaeah palung anghoehaih ka tawnh.
And my spirite reioyceth in God my Sauiour.
48 Poek kahnaem a tamna nongpata to anih mah khet boeh: khenah, vaihi hoi kamtong kaminawk boih mah tahamhoih kami, tiah na kawk o tih.
For hee hath looked on the poore degree of his seruaunt: for beholde, from henceforth shall all ages call me blessed,
49 Thacak kami mah kai hanah kalen parai hmuennawk to ang sak pae boeh; anih ih ahmin loe ciimcai.
Because hee that is mightie, hath done for me great things, and holy is his Name.
50 Anih palungnathaih loe anih zithaih tawn kaminawk nuiah adung maeto pacoeng maeto khoek to oh.
And his mercie is from generation to generation on them that feare him.
51 Anih mah a ban thacakhaih to amtuengsak moe, poeksang kaminawk to anghaehsak phaeng.
Hee hath shewed strength with his arme: hee hath scattered the proude in the imagination of their hearts.
52 Thacak kaminawk to angmacae ih angraeng tangkhang nui hoiah pakhrak tathuk moe, poek pahnaem kaminawk to tapom tahang.
Hee hath put downe the mighty from their seates, and exalted them of lowe degree.
53 Zok amthlam kaminawk to kahoih hmuennawk hoiah zok amhahsak moe, angraengnawk to bangkrai ah patoeh ving.
Hee hath filled the hungrie with good things, and sent away the rich emptie.
54 A palungnathaih to pahnet ai pongah a tamna Israel to abomh;
Hee hath vpholden Israel his seruaunt to be mindefull of his mercie

(As hee hath spoken to our fathers, to wit, to Abraham, and his seede) for euer. (aiōn g165)
56 Meri loe Elizabeth hoi khrah thumto oh pacoengah, angmah im ah amlaem.
And Marie abode with her about three moneths: after, shee returned to her owne house.
57 Elizabeth nawkta tapenhaih tue phak naah loe, anih mah caa nongpa maeto sak.
Nowe Elisabets time was fulfilled, that shee should be deliuered, and shee brought foorth a sonne.
58 Kawkruk maw Angraeng mah a palungnathaih anih nuiah amtuengsak, tiah imtaeng kaminawk hoi angmah ih nawkamyanawk mah thaih o naah, anih to anghoe o haih.
And her neighbours, and cousins heard tell howe the Lord had shewed his great mercie vpon her, and they reioyced with her.
59 Ni tazetto naah loe tangzat hin aah hanah nawkta to a caeh o haih; nihcae mah anih ih ahmin loe ampa ih ahmin palawk hanah Zakariah, tiah sak han oh, tiah a thuih o.
And it was so that on the eight day they came to circumcise the babe, and called him Zacharias after the name of his father.
60 Amno mah, to tih na ai ni; anih ih ahmin loe Johan, tiah sak han oh, tiah a naa.
But his mother answered, and saide, Not so, but he shalbe called Iohn.
61 Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Na caengnawk thungah hae baktih ahmin hae om ai, tiah a naa o.
And they saide vnto her, There is none of thy kindred, that is named with this name.
62 To pongah nihcae mah nawkta ih ahmin kawbangmaw sak han, tiah ampa khaeah ban hoi angmathaih a sak pae moe, a dueng o.
Then they made signes to his father, howe he would haue him called.
63 To naah anih mah ca trikhaih thlung kangphaek to hnik moe, Anih ih ahmin loe Johan, tiah tarik: to naah nihcae dawnrai o boih.
So hee asked for writing tables, and wrote, saying, His name is Iohn, and they marueiled all.
64 Akra ai ah anih ih pakha to am-ongh pae moe, palai doeh name pae roep, anih loe lok apaeh moe, Sithaw to pakoeh.
And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake and praised God.
65 To tiah hmuen to oh pacoengah nihcae taengah kaom kaminawk boih nuiah zithaih to phak: hae tiah kaom hmuen kawng to Judea prae mae nuiah kaom kaminawk boih mah thuih o.
Then feare came on all them that dwelt neere vnto them, and all these woordes were noised abroade throughout all the hill countrey of Iudea.
66 To lok thaih kaminawk boih mah, Angraeng ih ban anih nuiah oh pongah, hae nawkta loe kawbaktih nawkta ah maw om tih vai? tiah palung thung hoiah a poek o.
And al they that heard them, laid them vp in their hearts, saying, What maner childe shall this be! and the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 Ampa Zakariah loe Kacai Muithla hoiah koi moe,
Then his father Zacharias was filled with the holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
68 Israel kaminawk ih Sithaw loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe; anih loe angmah ih kaminawk khaeah paqaih moe, angmah ih kaminawk to akrang boeh,
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, because he hath visited and redeemed his people,
69 a tamna David imthung ah aicae hanah pahlonghaih takii maeto tacawtsak boeh;
And hath raised vp the horne of saluation vnto vs, in the house of his seruant Dauid,
70 long amtong tangsuek na hoiah angmah ih kaciim tahmaanawk ih pakha hoi thuih ih lok baktih toengah: (aiōn g165)
As he spake by ye mouth of his holy Prophets, which were since the world began, saying, (aiōn g165)
71 aicae loe aimacae misa hoi aicae hnuma kaminawk boih ih ban thung hoiah a loih o tih;

Which was, that he would graunt vnto vs, that we being deliuered out of the handes of our enemies, should serue him without feare,
All the daies of our life, in holinesse and righteousnesse before him.
76 Nawkta, nang loe, Kasang koek ih tahmaa ah na oh, tiah kawk o tih: nang loe Anih ih loklam paroep hanah Angraeng hmaa ah na caeh tih;
And thou, babe, shalt be called the Prophet of the most High: for thou shalt goe before the face of the Lord, to prepare his waies,
77 nihcae zaehaihnawk tahmenhaih rang hoiah Anih ih kaminawk khaeah pahlonghaih kawng panoeksak hanah,
And to giue knowledge of saluation vnto his people, by the remission of their sinnes,

Through ye tender mercy of our God, wherby the day spring from an hie hath visited vs,

80 Nawkta loe poekhaih palungthin thacakhaih hoiah qoeng tahang, anih loe Israel kaminawk khaeah amtueng ai karoek to praezaek ah khosak.
And the childe grewe, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the wildernesse, til the day came that he should shewe him selfe vnto Israel.
