< Luke 1 >

1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to draw up a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
kulyuve mwoghopua Tiofilo avaanhu vinga valembile imhola isa Yesu Kilisite ndavule silyavombike kulyusue.
2 even as they delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word,
valembile imhola isi ndavule tulyapangilue na vano valyalolile na maaso ghave, navano valyasipulisie kuhuma vuvutengulilo vwake.
3 it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus;
ulwakuva nilondile vunono uvwakyang'haani vwa mhola sa Yesu vuhuma vuvutengulilo lino najune nivwene lunono kukulembela isi sooni muvutavike.
4 that thou mightest know the certainty concerning the things wherein thou wast instructed.
neke ulukagule ulwakyang'haani lwa mbombo sino ukavulanisivue.
5 There was in the days of Herod, king of Judæa, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abijah: and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
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.
6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
voni van valyale vagholofu pa maaso gha Nguluve amaghendele ghale ghasita kukuvapika mundaghilo sooni munjovele ja Mutwa.
7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were [now] well stricken in years.
neke navalyale nu mwana ulwakuva uElisabeti alyale mughumba na kukavalilo akuo voni vale vaghogholofijo.
8 Now it came to pass, while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,
lino lulyahumile kuuti uSakalia alyale nu Mhepo umwimike kuvutavike vwa Nguluve. akalutile nuvutavike vwa vutekesi kuhumila mu vutavike vwa ludimo lwake.
9 according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
kwevulyale uvutavike uvwa kuvomba mu nyumba ja Nguluve veni umuunhu untekesi, veni idalikila akasalulua ikipugha akingila mu nhumba ja Mutwa akanyanya uvufumba.
10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense.
ilipugha lyoni lya vaanhu vakava vikufunya kunji ye vinyanya uvusumba.
11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
unyaMhola ghwa Mutwa akamwumila na kukwiima ulubale lwa luvoko lwa ndia kufitekelelo kuno vinyanyila uvusumba.
12 And Zacharias was troubled when he saw [him], and fear fell upon him.
uSakalia akoghopa ye alwaghile ulutetemo lulyamughwila.
13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: because thy supplication is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
neke unyaMhola akam'bula kuuti, ulekaghe pikwoghopa Sakalia ulwakuva ulufunyo lwako lupulikike. undala ghwako uElisabeti ikukuholela umwana ilitavua lyake ghukun'kemela Yohani.
14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
ghuliva nu lukelo na kuhovoka, na vinga vikuhovokela kuholua kwa mwene.
15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.
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.
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn unto the Lord their God.
na vaanhu vinga ava Silaeli ilikuvagomosiagha kwa Nguluve uMutwa ghwave.
17 And he shall go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient [to walk] in the wisdom of the just; to make ready for the Lord a people prepared [for him].
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.
18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
uSakalia akam'bula unyaMhola, “niwesia ndani kukagula ili? ulwakuva une nili nsehe nu n'dala ghwango na maka ghake ghali minga kyongo”.
19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak unto thee, and to bring thee these good tidings.
unyaMhola akamwamula na kumb'ula, une nene Gabilieli, nejuno nikwima pavulongolo pa Nguluve. nisung'ilue kukuvuula, kukuletela iMhola inofu iji.
20 And behold, thou shalt be silent 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 in their season.
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.
21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marvelled while he tarried in the temple.
lino avaanhu valyale vikumughula uSakalia. valyadeghile kuuti alyale itumila unsiki mwinga ku nyumba inyimike ja kufunyila.
22 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: and he continued making signs unto them, and remained dumb.
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.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were fulfilled, he departed unto his house.
ye fisilile ifighono fyakuvomba imbombo jakilekesi ayavukile kugomoka kunyumba jake.
24 And after these days Elisabeth his wife conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying,
pambele uSakalia akavuja kukaja kuhuma ku mbombo sake sakitekesi un'dala ghwake akava n'kunue, akifisa amesi ghahaano akajova.
25 Thus hath the Lord done unto me in the days wherein he looked upon [me], to take away my reproach among men.
“ulwakuva lwe luno uMutwa ambombile une ye andolile kulughano lwoni kukumbusikisia isoni pa maaso gha vaanhu”
26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
ye ghufikile umwesi ghwa n'tanda pavukunue vwa Elisabeti uNguluve akatuma unyaMhola uGabilieli kuluta mu iisi ja Galilaya ilitavua ilinge Nasaleti,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
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.
28 And he came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord [is] with thee.
unyaMhola ye afikile akati, “nikukuhungila uve ghwe juno usungukilue nu Mutwa, uMutwa alinuve;
29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this might be.
amasio ghanyaMhola ghaka mangajisia kyongo mu mwojo ghwake na alyaghamanyile kiki unyaMhola ihungila hungila iji kidegho.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God.
unyaMhola akam'bula “nungoghopaghe Maliya ulwakuva uNguluve akusungukile.
31 And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
lolagha ghuva nu vukunue, ghupapagha umwana neke ghukun'kemelagha ilitavua ghwe Yesu.
32 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 his father David:
iliva m'baha ikemeluagha mwana ghwa juno alikukyanya kyongo, uMutwa uNguluve neke ikumpelagha ikitengo kya vutwa kya Davidi uvuse.
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
itemagha uvutwa mu lukolo lwa Yakovo uvusila nakusila lusiku. (aiōn g165)
34 And Mary said unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
uMaliya akam'bula unyaMhola ili, iva ndani ulwakuva une nanighelile kuvwafuka nu mughosi ghwoghwoni?
35 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: wherefore also the holy thing which is begotten shall be called the Son of God.
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.
36 And behold, Elisabeth thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that was called barren.
lolagha ulukololuo uElisabeti alinuukunue vwa mwana mufighono fyake fya vughogholo, ughu ghwe mwesi ghwa n'tanda juno valyatile mughumba.
37 For no word from God shall be void of power.
ulwakuva kwa Nguluve nakwekili kino kimuulemile”
38 And Mary said, Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
uMaliya akajova akati, une nilim'baanda ghwa Mutwa neke luuleke luve luve kulyune ndavule ujovile” pe pano unyaMhola akavuka iluta.
39 And Mary arose in these days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah;
ye fikikile ifighono nde filingi uMaliya avuka ng'haning'habi na kuluta ku iisi jimonga jino jale nyafidunda, ija Yudea.
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted Elisabeth.
ukuo akingila mu nyumba ija Sakalia na kumwungila uElisabeti,
41 And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit;
lino pe lulyahumile kuuti,” uElisabeti ye apulike uluhungilo lwa Maliya. umwana mu lileme akaomoka tomoka, neke uElisabeti ingufu isa Mhepo uMwimike sikamwisila.
42 and she lifted up her voice with a loud cry, and said, Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb.
pe akatengula pijova kungufu akati, “ufunyilue uve mukighavo kya vakijuuva najumwana juno alimulileme lyako afunyilue.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come unto me?
neke lulindani kulyune ungiina ghwa Mutwa lunoghile pikwisa kulyune?
44 For behold, when the voice of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
ulwakuva lolagha ye lupulikike mu mbughulutu sango ilisio lya kuhungila kulyuve umwana mulileme lyango atomwike nu lukelo.
45 And blessed [is] she that believed; for there shall be a fulfilment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord.
neke afunyilue umukijuva jula juno alyitike kuuti vulyahumila uvya kyang'haani vwa sino alyavulilue kuhuma kwa Mutwa”.
46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
uMaliya akati, inimbula jango jikunfunya uMutwa,
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
naghumwojo ghwango ghuvovwike mwa Nguluve umpoki ghwango.
48 For he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaid: For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
ulwakuva avulolile uvukotofu vwa m'banda ghwake umhinja. lolagha kuhuma mu fisina fyoni vikughonelagha nilifunyua.
49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; And holy is his name.
ulwakuva umwene unya sooni avombile sino mbaha kylyune. ni litavua lyake ilyimike.
50 And his mercy is unto generations and generations On them that fear him.
uvukola vwake kuhuma ikisina ni kisina ku vano vikumwopa umwene.
51 He hath showed strength with his arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart.
avonisie ingufu mu luvoko lyake avapalanisie vala vano vakighiniagha mu masaghe gha mooja ghave.
52 He hath put down princes from [their] thrones, And hath exalted them of low degree.
avisisie paasi avana va vatwa kuhuma mufitengo fyave ifya vutwa na kukuvatosia kukyanya vano vakotofu.
53 The hungry he hath filled with good things; And the rich he hath sent empty away.
alyavapelile avanya njala ifinu ifi nono looli avamofu avadagile na mavoko gheene.
54 He hath given help to Israel his servant, That he might remember mercy
ahumisie uvutangilisi kwa Isilaeli um'bombi ghake, neke akumuke kuvonesia uvuhugu.
55 (As he spake unto our fathers) Toward Abraham and his seed for ever. (aiōn g165)
(ndavule alyajovile kuvanhaata vitu) kwa Abulahamu ni fisina fyake kuvusila na kusila” (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her house.
uMalia alikalile nu Elisabeti hwene mesi ghatatu pepano akagomoka ku nyumba ja mwene.
57 Now Elisabeth’s time was fulfilled that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
lino unsiki ghulyafikile ughwa Elisabeti kupaapa umwana un'dimi.
58 And her neighbors and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her; and they rejoiced with her.
avabading'ani vake na vanyalukolo vake valyapulike ndavule uMutwa atupelanisie mu vuhugu vwake, kange vakahovoka palikimo nu mwene.
59 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
lino kilyahumile ikighono kya lekela kwoni valisile kukivungo najumwana lulyanoghile vampele ilitavua lyake ghwe Sakalia kulwiho lwa vise.
60 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
looli ung'ina akamula akati, “ndali” ikemelua ghwe Yohani”
61 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
vakam'bula napwale nambe jumo mulukolo juno itambulua ku litavua ili”
62 And they made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
pe vakam'bombela ikimanyilo uvise kuuti, umwene iti ilitavua akemelue veni.
63 And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
uvise akalonda ikisegho akalemba “ilitavua ghwe Yohani” voni vakadegha ku ili
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue [loosed], and he spake, blessing God.
ku kenyemukila umulomo ghake ghukadinduka nu lumili lwake lukava vuleka akajova na kukumughinia uNguluve
65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judæa.
uludwesi lukavisila voni vano valikalile pipi navoimbombo isio sikakwilana mu iisi jooni ja fidunda fya Yudea,
66 And all that heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, What then shall this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.
na voni vano valyaghapulike vakaghagadilila mu mwoojo ghave, vakati umwana uju ghwa ndani ndani?” ulwakuva uluvoko lwa Mutwa lulyale palikimo naghwo.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
ivise ghwa Sakalia akapeluula ingufu nu Mhepo uMwimike akatengula kuhumia uvuvili akatisagha,
68 Blessed [be] the Lord, the God of Israel; For he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,
aghinwaghe uMutwa, uNguluve ghwa Isilaeli, ulwakuva atangile kange na kukuvavanga avaanhu vake.
69 And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of his servant David
atupelile uvupoki kuhuma mu nyumba ja nyambombo ghwake u Davidi, kuhuma mukikolo kya m'bombi ghwake uDavidi.
70 (As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been from of old), (aiōn g165)
ndavule alyajovile mumulomo ghwa vavili vake vano kwevalyale kuhuma kuvukuulu. (aiōn g165)
71 Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
alatupoka kuhuma kuvalugu viitu na kuhuma mumavoko ghavaanhu vooni vano vikutukalalila.
72 To show mercy towards our fathers, And to remember his holy covenant;
alavomba ndiki kuvonesia ulusungu kuvanhaata vitu na kukumbuka ululaghilo lwake ulwimike.
73 The oath which he sware unto Abraham our father,
ulujigho luno alayjovile kwa Abulahamu unhaata ghwitu.
74 To grant unto us that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies Should serve him without fear,
alyajighile na kunkangasia kuuti lunoghile pikum'bombela umwene kisila vwoghofi pano tupokilue pihuma mumavoko ghavalugu viitu.
75 In holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
muvwimike na muvagholofu uvwakyang'haani pa maaso ghake ni fighono fyake fyoni.
76 Yea and thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Most High: For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to make ready his ways;
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.
77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people In the remission of their sins,
kukuvavula avaanhu vake kuuti valapyanilwagha valavuvunagha uvupoki kusila kusila ja vupoki vwa nyfi saave.
78 Because of the tender mercy of our God, Whereby the dayspring from on high shall visit us,
ili lilyahumile ulwakuva ja lusungu lwa Nguluve ghwitu ulwakuva ilijuva kuhuma kukyanya likutwisila.
79 To shine upon them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death; To guide our feet into the way of peace.
kukutumulikila ku vano vikalile mu ng'isi nu lumwighighi ghwa vafue alavomba ndiki kulongosia amaghulu ghitu kusila ja lutengano.”
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel.
lino umwana jula akakula na kuva nyangufu mwa Mhepo uMwimike. alikalile kulihaka kuhanga unsiki ghuno akavonekagha ku vaSilaeli.
