< Luke 1 >

1 Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
Kanao maro ty nandrambe am-pitàñe han­dahatse talily amo raha atokisantikañeo
2 even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
manahake ty nitaro­ña’ iareo ama’ay, ie nivalolombeloñe boak’am-baloha’e nimpitoroñe i tsaray ama’ay,
3 it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus;
le satriko ka, ie hinotsohotsoko boak’ am-ba­loha’e i hene rezay, ty hanokitse talily soa filahatse ho azo, ry roandria Teofilo,
4 that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
haha­fohina’o ty hatò’ i tsara nañohañe azoy.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
Teo tañ’andro’ i Heroda mpanjaka’ Iehodà, ty mpisoroñe atao Zakaria, am-pirimboña’ i Abia; boak’ amo anak’ ampela’ i Aroneo ty tañanjomba’e, i Elizabeta ty tahina’e.
6 They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
Songa vantañe añatrefan’ Añahare iereo roroe; tsy amam-pitsikoañe ty fañaveloa’iareo amo lily naho fepè’ Iehovào.
7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
Tsy nanañ’ anake fa betsiterake t’i Elizabeta vaho sambe nigain-kantetse ie roroe.
8 Now it happened, while he was performing the priest's office before God in the order of his division,
Aa ie nitoroñe ami’ty naham-pisoroñe aze añatrefan’Añahare ami’ty fifandimbezam-pirimboña’e t’i Zakaria;
9 according to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
le amy lilim-pisoroñañey, nitsatok’ ama’e ty hañemboke, le nimoak’ an-kibohon’ Añahare ao,
10 And the whole crowd of people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
vaho hene nilolok’ alafe’e ao i màroy amy fotoam-pañembohañey.
11 An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
Nisodeha ama’e amy zao ty anjeli’ i Talè, nijohañe an-kavana’ i kitrelim-pañembohañey.
12 Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
Nianifañe t’i Zakaria te nahaoniñe, nihohokòhoke, vaho nidoiña’ ty firevendreveñañe.
13 But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.
Le hoe ty asa’ i anjeliy tama’e; Ko hemban-drehe Zakaria fa jinanjiñe i halali’oy le hisama-dahy ama’o t’i Eliza­beta tañanjomba’o vaho toñono ty hoe Jaona ty añara’e.
14 You will have joy and gladness; and many will rejoice at his birth.
Ho fale naho ehake rehe vaho maro ty hirebek’ amy hisa­maha’ey,
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he must never drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
amy t’ie ho ra’elahy añatrefa’ Iehovà, naho tsy hinon-divay ndra toake, vaho ie mbe an-kovin-drene’e ao ro ho lifore’ i Arofo Masiñey.
16 He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord, their God.
Maro amo ana’ Israeleo ty hampitolihe’e amy Iehovà Andria­nañahare’ey.
17 He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
Ie hañavelo aña­trefa’eo ami’ty arofo naho haozara’ i Elia, hampitolihe’e amo anakeo ty tron-droae naho mb’ami’ty fahihira’ o vantañeo o manjehatseo, hampihentseñe ondaty veka’e ho a Iehovà.
18 Zechariah said to the angel, "How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years."
Aa hoe t’i Zakaria tamy anjeliy; Aia ty haharendrehako t’ie to? Bey raho naho migain-kantetse ka ty valiko.
19 The angel answered him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news.
Tinoi’ i anjeliy ty hoe, Zaho n’o Gabriele mpijohañe añatrefan’ Añahareo; niraheñe hivolañ’ ama’o, hitaroñe o talili-soa zao.
20 And look, you will be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things will happen, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time."
Fe inao! ho moan-drehe, tsy hahasaontsy ampara’ t’ie tafetetse, ami’te tsy natokisa’o o volakoo, ie ho heneke amy nifantañañey.
21 The people were waiting for Zechariah, and they were wondering why he was delayed in the temple.
Nandiñe i Zakaria ondatio, nilatsa t’ie tambatse amy toetse miavakey ao.
22 When he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.
Ie niavotse, le tsy nahasaontsy am’ iereo naho nioni’ iereo te niboahan-draha añ’ anjomba miavak’ ao, ie nanondrotondro am’iareo, fa le lia’e nimoañe.
23 It happened, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
Ie amy zao, naho niheneke o andro fitoroña’eo, le nimpoly mb’añ’ an­jomba’e añe.
24 After these days Elizabeth, his wife, conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,
Añe i andro rezay le niareñe t’i Elizabeta, vali’e, vaho nipalitse lime volañe, fa hoe ty asa’e:
25 "Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my disgrace among people."
Zao ty nanoe’ Iehovà amako amy andro niva­zoho’ey, hañafaha’e amako ty sirika’ondatio.
26 Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
Ie amy fah’enembola’ey le niraheñe boak’ aman’Añahare ao t’i Gabriela anjely homb’an-drova atao Nazareta e Galilia añe,
27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.
mb’ami’ty somondrara nifofoe’ t’indaty atao Iosefe, anjomba’ i Davide, Marie ty añara’ i somondraray.
28 Having come in, the angel said to her, "Greetings, favored one. The Lord is with you."
Niheo ama’e i anjeliy nanao ty hoe; Akore ry isoheñe! mitahy azo t’Iehovà.
29 But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of greeting this might be.
Nitsonevotse amy zao re amy tsara’ey, le nitsakore i fañontanea’ey.
30 The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
Ko hemban-drehe, Marie, hoe i anjeliy fa nanjò fañisohañe aman’ Añahare.
31 And look, you will conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and will call his name 'Jesus.'
Oniño t’ie hiareñ’ an-koviñ’ ao le hisama-dahy, vaho hatao’o Iesoà ty añara’e
32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father, David,
Ho fanalolahy re, le ho toñoneñe ty hoe: Ana’ i Andindimo­neñey naho hatolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare aze ty fiambesa’ i Davide rae’e;
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom." (aiōn g165)
le ho fehe’e nainae’e ty anjomba’ Iakobe vaho tsy ho modo i fifehea’ey. (aiōn g165)
34 Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?"
Le hoe t’i Marie tamy anjeliy; Akore ty hahamete’ zay, zaho tsy mahavany lahy?
35 The angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born will be called the Son of God.
Aa le hoe ty natoi’ i anjeliy aze; Hitotsak’ ama’o i Arofo Masiñey, hañalok’ azo ty haozara’ i Andindimoneñey; le ho toñoneñe ty hoe Anan’ Añahare i Masiñe hasama’oy.
36 And look, Elizabeth, your relative, also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
Inao te niaren-dahy ka t’i Elizabeta longo’o ndra te bey; fa enem-bolañe henaneo i natao betsiterakey,
37 For with God nothing will be impossible."
Toe tsy eo ty tsy lefen’ Añahare.
38 And Mary said, "See, the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word." The angel departed from her.
Hoe t’i Marie; Intoy ty anak’ ampata’ Iehovà; lonike te ho amako i sinaon­tsi’oy. Le nienga aze i anjeliy.
39 Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,
Niongake amy andro rezay t’i Marie, nikapikapike mb’an-tanàñe ambohibohi’ Iehodà mb’eo;
40 and entered into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
le nimoak’ añ’ an­jomba’ i Zakaria ao vaho nañontane i Elizabeta.
41 It happened, when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, that the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Ie jinanji’ i Elizabeta i fañontanea’ i Mariey, le nivoañe ty ajaja an-tro’e ao; mbore nilifore’ i Arofo Masiñey t’i Elizabeta.
42 She called out with a loud voice, and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
Le ty hoe ty napaza’e; Haha amy ze atao ampela rehe vaho soatata ty anake hasama’o.
43 Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Ia ka raho, te nitilihe’ ty rene’ i Talèkoy?
44 For look, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy.
Hete! ie nimoak’ an-tsofiko ao i feom-pañontanea’oy le nisondrakak’an-kaehake ty ajaja an-troko ato.
45 Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord."
En-droa, haha i niantoke te ho henefeñe ama’e o raha nitsarae’ Iehovày.
46 Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord.
Aa le nanao ty ti-hoe t’i Marie: Mañonjoñe Iehovà ty fiaiko,
47 And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
vaho mirebek’ aman’Añahare mpandrombak’ ahy ty troko;
48 for he has looked at the humble state of his servant girl. For look, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
Nivazohoe’e ty hasotria’ i anak’ am-pata’ey, Oniño te hanao ahy haha ze hene tariratse henane zao.
49 For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
Nanao raha fiain-tane amako i Maozatsey—masiñe ty tahina’e.
50 His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear him.
Ferenaiña’e pak’an-tariratse an-tariratse o mañeveñe ama’eo.
51 He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
Nampiboaha’e haozarañe ty fità’e; naparatsia’e o mpiebotsebotse am-pitsakorean-tro’eo.
52 He has put down princes from their thrones. And has exalted the lowly.
Nafotsa’e amo fiambesam-bolo- nahe’eo o fanalolahio, vaho naonjo’e o mpirèkeo.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.
Nanjàñe’e raha soa o nisalikoo, fe nampolie’e hara’e o mpañalealeo.
54 He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
Nimbae’e t’Israele mpitoro’e, hahatiahia’e i fiferenaiñañe
55 As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his offspring forever." (aiōn g165)
nitsarae’e amy Abraàme naho amo tarira’e nainai’eoy, i nampitamà’e an-droaen-tikañey. (aiōn g165)
56 Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.
Telo volañe varàñe ty nitoboha’ i Marie ama’e ao vaho nimpoly mb’añ’anjomba’e añe.
57 Now the time that Elizabeth should give birth was fulfilled, and she brought forth a son.
Henek’ amy zao o andro naha­toly i Elizabetao, le nisama-dahy.
58 Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they rejoiced with her.
Jinanji’ ondaty mpitrao-tanàñe ama’eo naho o longo’eo t’ie niferenaiña’ Iehovà, le nitrao-kafaleañe ama’e.
59 It happened on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zechariah, after the name of the father.
Ie ami’ty andro faha-valo, le nasese ho savareñe i ajajay, vaho ho natao’ iereo Zakaria ty añara’e amy te zay ty tahinan-drae’e,
60 His mother answered, "Not so; but he will be called John."
fa hoe ka ty natoin-drene’e; Aiy! hatao ty hoe Jaona re.
61 They said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name."
Aa hoe ty asa’ iareo tama’e; Leo raik’ aman-drolongo’o tsy nitoñoneñe amy tahinañe zay.
62 They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
Le nañatsikatsik’ an-drae’e iereo, ami’ty hoe: Ia ty satri’o hitokavañ’ aze.
63 And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they were all amazed.
Nipay fanokiran-dre vaho nanokitse ty hoe: I Jaona ty añara’e. Aa le hene nidaba.
64 His mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.
Nisokak’ ami’ty manao zao ty falie’e naho nibalake i famele’ey vaho nisaontsy am-pandrengeañe an’ Andrianañahare.
65 Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.
Hene nangebahebake o mpimoneñe nañohoke iareoo, vaho nirehafeñe mb’eo mb’eo ambohibohi’ Iehodà ao irezay.
66 All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, "What then will this child be?" The hand of the Lord was with him.
Songa nitsakore ty hoe añ’ arofo ao ze nahaoniñe: Ty ajaja ho akore v’itoio? Le nitahy aze ty fità’ Iehovà.
67 His father, Zechariah, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Lifotse i Arofo Masiñey amy zao t’i Zakaria rae’e vaho nitoky ty ti-hoe:
68 "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited and worked redemption for his people;
Andriañeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, fa nitilihe’e vaho jineba’e ondati’eo.
69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
Nampitroara’e tsifam-pandrombahañe tika añ’anjomba’ i Davide mpitoro’e ao,
70 (as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets who have been from of old), (aiōn g165)
Nitsara am-palie’ o mpitoky miavakeo i teo nainai’e am-pifotora’ ty voatse toiy, (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us;
t’ie ho rombaheñe amo rafelahin- tikañeo, naho am-pità’ o malaiñe an-tikañeo,
72 to show mercy towards our fathers, to remember his holy covenant,
Hiferenaiña’e o roazan-tikañeo, naho ho tiahi’e i fañina’e miavakey,
73 the oath which he spoke to Abraham, our father,
i fanta nifantà’e amy Abraàme raentikañey,
74 to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, should serve him without fear,
t’ie hatolo’e amantikañe, ie fa vinotso’e amo rafelahintikañeo, hitoroñ’ aze tsy an-kahembañañe,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
am-piavahañe naho an-kavantañañe añatrefa’e amo hene andro iveloman-tikañeo.
76 And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to make ready his ways,
Le ihe, anako, ty hatao Mpitoki’ i Andindimoneñey, amy te Ihe ty hiaolo i Talè hañajary ty lala homba’e,
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins,
hampahaoniñe ondati’eo ty fandrombahañe ie hinahan-kakeo,
78 because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the dawn from on high will visit us,
ami’ty fiferenaiñan’ Añaharen-tika— ie nampitilihe’e an-tika i fanjiriha’e boak’ añ’aboy,
79 to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace."
Hanolora’e hazavàñe o mpitoboke añ’ieñe ao naho an-talinjon-kavilasio, hiaoloa’e mb’an-dalan-kanintsiñe mb’eo o fandian-tikañeo.
80 The child was growing, and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
Nitombo i ajajay le nihaozatse an-troke vaho nitoets’am-babangoañe añe ampara’ ty andro niboaha’e am’Israele.
