Forasmuch as many haue taken in hand to set foorth the storie of those things, whereof we are fully persuaded,
2 oltak kah tueihyoeih la aka om rhoek neh a tongcuek lamloh loh aka hmu rhep rhoek loh mamih taengah m'paek uh vanbangla,
As they haue deliuered them vnto vs, which from the beginning saw them their selues, and were ministers of ye word,
3 kai khaw khaeh khaeh boeih ka thuep koep tih hlangcong Theophilus nang taengah daek ham tluep ka poek.
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 Te daengah ni hiluepnah ol loh n'thuituen te khaw na ming eh.
That thou mightest acknowledge the certaintie of those things, whereof thou hast bene instructed.
5 Judea manghai Herod tue vaeng ah, Abijah rhoihui khosoih pakhat, a ming ah Zekhariah te om tih Elizabeth aka ming nah Aaron canu te a yuu nah.
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 Pathen hmaiah a dueng la bok om rhoi. Boeipa kah rhilam neh olpaek cungkuem dongah cuemthuek la pongpa rhoi.
Both were iust before God, and walked in all the commandements and ordinances of the Lord, without reproofe.
7 Tedae Elizabeth tah cakol la om tih camoe a om kolla a kum khaw patong la bok om rhoi coeng.
And they had no childe, because that Elisabet was barren: and both were well stricken in age.
8 Pathen hmaiah a khosoih vaengkah bangla anih rhoihui te aitlaeng loh a pha.
And it came to passe, as he executed the Priestes office before God, as his course came in order,
9 Khosoih kah khosing bangla, Boeipa kah bawkim khuiah kun tih hmueihphum ham a yo.
According to the custome of the Priests office, his lot was to burne incense, when he went into the Temple of the Lord.
10 Bo-ul tue vaengah pilnam khuikah aka om rhaengpuei boeih khaw poeng ah thangthui uh.
And the whole multitude of the people were without in prayer, while the incense was burning.
11 Te vaengah Boeipa kah puencawn tah a taengah a phoe pah tih bo-ul hmueihtuk kah bantang ah pai.
Then appeared vnto him an Angel of the Lord standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Zekhariah loh a thuen doela a sawt dongah rhihnah loh anih a tlak thil.
And when Zacharias sawe him, he was troubled, and feare fell vpon him.
13 Tedae anih te puencawn pakhat loh, “Zekhariah rhih boeh, nang kah rhenbihnah te a hnatun coeng dongah na yuu Elizabeth loh nang ham capa pakhat han cun vetih, a ming te Johan la na khue ni.
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 Nang ham omngaihnah neh kohoenah la om vetih anih kah rhuirhong dongah boeih omngaih uh ni.
And thou shalt haue ioy and gladnes, and many shall reioyce at his birth.
15 Boeipa hmaiah a len la om vetih, misurtui neh yu te o loengloeng mahpawh. A manu bung khuiah a om vaengah Mueihla Cim neh baetawt ni.
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 Israel ca rhoek te a Boeipa Pathen taengla muep a mael puei ni.
And many of the children of Israel shall he turne to their Lord God.
17 Anih tah a hmaiah Elijah kah mueihla neh thaomnah dongah lamhma ni. Pa rhoek kah thinko te ca rhoek taengla, lokhak rhoek te aka dueng lungcueinah dongla mael ni. Rhoekbah tangtae pilnam tah Boeipa ham a hmoel ni,” a ti nah.
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 Te phoeiah Zekhariah loh puencawn taengah, “Hekah he Ba nen lae ka ming eh? Kai tah patong la ka om coeng tih ka yuu khaw a kum te ham coeng,” a ti nah.
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 Te dongah puencawn loh anih te a doo tih, “Kai tah Pathen hmaiah aka pai Gabriel ni, nang taengah he rhoek he phong ham neh thui ham n'tueih.
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 Tedae kai ol te na tangnah pawt dongah he he a soep nah khohnin duela olmueh la na om vetih na cal thai mahpawh ne. Amah tue ah ka ol te soep bit ni,” a ti nah.
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 Te vaengah Zekhariah te aka lamso pilnam a om dongah bawkim khuiah a di te a ngaihmang uh.
Now the people waited for Zacharias, and marueiled that he taried so long in the Temple.
22 Ha thoeng vaengah tah amih te voek thai voel pawh. Te dongah bawkim khuiah a mangthui a hmuh coeng tila a ming uh. Te dongah Zekhariah loh amih taengah a lu a thuk tih olmueh la phat om.
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 Amah kah thothueng khohnin te a cup la a om phoeiah tah amah im la cet.
And it came to passe, when the daies of his office were fulfilled, that he departed to his owne house.
24 Te khohnin phoeiah a yuu Elizabeth te vawn tih amah khaw hla nga thuh uh.
And after those daies, his wife Elisabet conceiued, and hid her selfe fiue moneths, saying,
25 “Boeipa loh kai ham hnin at neh a saii tangloeng coeng, te nen ni hlang lakliah kai dongkah hnaelnah te khoe hamla n'hip,” a ti.
Thus hath the Lord dealt with me, in the daies wherein he looked on me, to take from me my rebuke among men.
26 Hla rhuk dongah Pathen taeng lamkah puencawn Gabriel te Galilee khopuei, a ming ah Nazareth la a tueih.
And in the sixth moneth, the Angell Gabriel was sent from God vnto a citie of Galile, named Nazareth,
27 David imkhui kah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Joseph ham te oila a bae pah. Oila ming tah Mary ni.
To a virgin affianced to a man whose name was Ioseph, of the house of Dauid, and the virgins name was Marie.
28 Te phoeiah huta taengla kun tih, “A lungvat tangtae aw, omngaih lah, Boeipa tah nang taengah om pai,” a ti nah.
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 Tedae Mary te tekah olka dongah konglong ngaihit la om tih te toidalnah loh metla a om eh tila a poek.
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and thought what maner of salutation that should be.
30 Puencawn loh anih te, “Mary rhih boeh, Pathen taengkah lungvatnah na dang coeng te.
Then the Angel saide vnto her, Feare not, Marie: for thou hast found fauour with God.
31 Te dongah bungvawn neh na yom tih capa na cun vaengah a ming te Jesuh sui ne.
For loe, thou shalt conceiue in thy wobe, and beare a sonne, and shalt call his name Iesus.
32 Anih tah tanglue la om vetih Khohni capa tila a khue ni. Boeipa Pathen loh anih te a napa David kah ngolkhoel te a paek ni.
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 Te vaengah Mary loh puencawn taengah, “Hekah he metlam a om eh? tongpa khaw ka ming moenih,” a ti nah.
Then sayde Marie vnto the Angel, How shall this be, seeing I knowe not man?
35 Te dongah anih te puencawn loh a doo tih, “Mueihla Cim loh nang n'thoeng thil vetih, Khohni kah thaomnah te nang m'muek sak ni. Te dongah na cun te aka cim Pathen Capa tila a khue bal ni.
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 Te phoeiah namah huiko Elizabeth te a patong soiah, camoe a yom van coeng ke. Te dongah cakol la a khue te tahae ah hla rhuk lo coeng.
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 Pathen kah olka boeih long tah a tloel nah moenih,” a ti nah.
For with God shall nothing be vnpossible.
38 Te dongah Mary loh, “Boeipa kah salnu he, na olka bangla kai taengah om saeh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah puencawn tah anih taeng lamloh nong.
Then Marie said, Behold the seruant of the Lord: be it vnto me according to thy woorde. So the Angel departed from her.
39 Mary tah tekah khohnin ah thoo tih tlang kah Judah kho ah thahluenah neh cet.
And Marie arose in those daies, and went into ye hil countrey with hast to a citie of Iuda,
40 Zekhariah im khuiah kun tih Elizabeth te a voek.
And entred into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabet.

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 Te vaengah tamlung neh pang khungdaeng tih, “Nang tah huta rhoek lakliah na yoethen coeng tih, nang bung kah a thaih te a yoethen coeng.
And she cried with a loud voice, and saide, Blessed art thou among women, because the fruit of thy wombe is blessed.
43 Kai aih he metlam nim, ka boeipa kah a manu kai taengla ha pawk tarha he?
And whence commeth this to mee, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Nang kah toidalnah ol te ka hna khuiah a kun vaengah tah, ka bung khuikah cahni loh kohoenah neh soipet he.
For loe, assoone as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine eares, the babe sprang in my bellie for ioye,
45 Te dongah Boeipa loh a thui te hmakhahnah om ni tila aka tangnah tah a yoethen,” a ti nah.
And blessed is shee that beleeued: for those things shall be perfourmed, which were tolde her from the Lord.

Then Marie sayde, My soule magnifieth the Lord,
