Luke 1
1 Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
Ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn ni ó ti dáwọ́lé títo àwọn nǹkan wọ̀n-ọn-nì jọ lẹ́sẹẹsẹ, èyí tí ó ti múlẹ̀ ṣinṣin láàrín wa,
2 even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
àní gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ọ̀rọ̀ náà, tí ó ṣe ojú wọn láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ti fi lé wa lọ́wọ́.
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;
Nítorí náà, ó sì yẹ fún èmi pẹ̀lú, láti kọ̀wé sí ọ lẹ́sẹẹsẹ bí mo ti wádìí ohun gbogbo fínní fínní sí láti ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀, Teofilu ọlọ́lá jùlọ,
4 that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
kí ìwọ kí ó le mọ òtítọ́ ohun wọ̀n-ọn-nì, tí a ti kọ́ ọ.
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.
Nígbà ọjọ́ Herodu ọba Judea, àlùfáà kan wà, láti ìran Abijah, orúkọ rẹ̀ a máa jẹ́ Sekariah: aya rẹ̀ sì ṣe ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin Aaroni, orúkọ rẹ̀ a sì máa jẹ́ Elisabeti.
6 They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
Àwọn méjèèjì sì ṣe olódodo níwájú Ọlọ́run, wọ́n ń rìn ní gbogbo òfin àti ìlànà Olúwa ní àìlẹ́gàn.
7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò ní ọmọ, nítorí tí Elisabeti yàgàn; àwọn méjèèjì sì di arúgbó.
8 Now it happened, while he was performing the priest's office before God in the order of his division,
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí ó ń ṣe iṣẹ́ àlùfáà níwájú Ọlọ́run ni àkókò tirẹ̀.
9 according to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
Bí ìṣe àwọn àlùfáà, ipa tirẹ̀ ni láti máa fi tùràrí jóná, nígbà tí ó bá wọ inú tẹmpili Olúwa lọ.
10 And the whole crowd of people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
Gbogbo ìjọ àwọn ènìyàn sì ń gbàdúrà lóde ní àkókò sísun tùràrí.
11 An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
Angẹli Olúwa kan sì fi ara hàn án, ó dúró ní apá ọ̀tún pẹpẹ tùràrí.
12 Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
Nígbà tí Sekariah sì rí i, orí rẹ̀ wú, ẹ̀rù sì bà á.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n angẹli náà wí fún un pé, “Má bẹ̀rù, Sekariah: nítorí tí àdúrà rẹ gbà; Elisabeti aya rẹ yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan fún ọ, ìwọ ó sì sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Johanu.
14 You will have joy and gladness; and many will rejoice at his birth.
Òun yóò sì jẹ́ ayọ̀ àti ìdùnnú fún ọ, ènìyàn púpọ̀ yóò sì yọ̀ sí ìbí rẹ.
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.
Nítorí òun ó pọ̀ níwájú Olúwa, kì yóò sì mu ọtí wáìnì, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì yóò sì mu ọtí líle; yóò sì kún fún Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ àní láti inú ìyá rẹ̀ wá.
16 He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord, their God.
Òun ó sì yí ènìyàn púpọ̀ padà nínú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn.
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."
Ẹ̀mí àti agbára Elijah ni Olúwa yóò sì fi ṣáájú rẹ̀ lọ, láti pa ọkàn àwọn baba dà sí ti àwọn ọmọ, àti ti àwọn aláìgbọ́ràn sí ọgbọ́n àwọn olóòtítọ́; kí ó le pèsè àwọn ènìyàn tí a múra sílẹ̀ de Olúwa.”
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."
Sekariah sì wí fún angẹli náà pé, “Àmì wo ni èmi ó fi mọ èyí? Èmi sá ti di àgbà, àti Elisabeti aya mi sì di arúgbó.”
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.
Angẹli náà sì dáhùn ó wí fún un pé, “Èmi ni Gabrieli, tí máa ń dúró níwájú Ọlọ́run; èmi ni a rán wá láti sọ fún ọ, àti láti mú ìròyìn ayọ̀ wọ̀nyí fún ọ wá.
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."
Sì kíyèsi i, ìwọ ó yadi, ìwọ kì yóò sì le fọhùn, títí ọjọ́ náà tí nǹkan wọ̀nyí yóò fi ṣẹ, nítorí ìwọ kò gba ọ̀rọ̀ mi gbọ́ tí yóò ṣẹ ní àkókò wọn.”
21 The people were waiting for Zechariah, and they were wondering why he was delayed in the temple.
Àwọn ènìyàn sì ń dúró de Sekariah, ẹnu sì yà wọ́n nítorí tí ó pẹ́ nínú tẹmpili.
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.
Nígbà tí ó sì jáde wá, òun kò le bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀. Wọn sì kíyèsi wí pé ó ti rí ìran nínú tẹmpili, ó sì ń ṣe àpẹẹrẹ sí wọn, nítorí tí ó yadi.
23 It happened, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí ọjọ́ iṣẹ́ ìsìn rẹ̀ pé, ó lọ sí ilé rẹ̀.
24 After these days Elizabeth, his wife, conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,
Lẹ́yìn èyí ni Elisabeti aya rẹ̀ lóyún, ó sì fi ara rẹ̀ pamọ́ ní oṣù márùn-ún,
25 "Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my disgrace among people."
Ó sì wí pé, “Báyìí ni Olúwa ṣe fún mi ní ọjọ́ tí ó síjú wò mí, láti mú ẹ̀gàn mi kúrò láàrín àwọn ènìyàn.”
26 Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
Ní oṣù kẹfà Ọlọ́run sì rán angẹli Gabrieli sí ìlú kan ní Galili, tí à ń pè ní Nasareti,
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.
sí wúńdíá kan tí a ṣèlérí láti fẹ́ fún ọkùnrin kan, tí a ń pè ní Josẹfu, ti ìdílé Dafidi; orúkọ wúńdíá náà a sì máa jẹ́ Maria.
28 Having come in, the angel said to her, "Greetings, favored one. The Lord is with you."
Angẹli náà sì tọ̀ ọ́ wá, ó ní, “Àlàáfíà fun ọ, ìwọ ẹni tí a kọjú sí ṣe ní oore, Olúwa ń bẹ pẹ̀lú rẹ.”
29 But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of greeting this might be.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọkàn Maria kò lélẹ̀ nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ náà, ó sì rò nínú ara rẹ̀ pé, irú kíkí kín ni èyí.
30 The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
Ṣùgbọ́n angẹli náà wí fún un pé, “Má bẹ̀rù, Maria, nítorí ìwọ ti rí ojúrere lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.
31 And look, you will conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and will call his name 'Jesus.'
Ìwọ yóò lóyún nínú rẹ, ìwọ ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan, ìwọ ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Jesu.
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,
Òun ó pọ̀, ọmọ Ọ̀gá-ògo jùlọ ni a ó sì máa pè é, Olúwa Ọlọ́run yóò sì fi ìtẹ́ Dafidi baba rẹ̀ fún.
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom." (aiōn g165)
Yóò sì jẹ ọba lórí ilé Jakọbu títí láé; ìjọba rẹ̀ kì yóò sì ní ìpẹ̀kun.” (aiōn g165)
34 Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?"
Nígbà náà ni Maria béèrè lọ́wọ́ angẹli náà pé, “Èyí yóò ha ti ṣe rí bẹ́ẹ̀, nígbà tí èmi kò tí ì mọ ọkùnrin.”
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.
Angẹli náà sì dáhùn ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ yóò tọ̀ ọ́ wá, agbára Ọ̀gá-ògo jùlọ yóò síji bò ọ́. Nítorí náà ohun mímọ́ tí a ó ti inú rẹ bí, Ọmọ Ọlọ́run ni a ó máa pè é.
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.
Sì kíyèsi i, Elisabeti ìbátan rẹ náà yóò sì ní ọmọkùnrin kan ní ògbólógbòó rẹ̀, èyí sì ni oṣù kẹfà fún ẹni tí à ń pè ní àgàn.
37 For with God nothing will be impossible."
Nítorí kò sí ohun tí Ọlọ́run kò le ṣe.”
38 And Mary said, "See, the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word." The angel departed from her.
Maria sì dáhùn wí pé, “Wò ó ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa; kí ó rí fún mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ.” Angẹli náà sì fi í sílẹ̀ lọ.
39 Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,
Ní àkókò náà ni Maria sì dìde, ó lọ kánkán sí ilẹ̀ òkè, sí ìlú kan ní Judea;
40 and entered into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
Ó sì wọ ilé Sekariah lọ ó sì kí Elisabeti.
41 It happened, when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, that the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí Elisabeti gbọ́ kíkí Maria, ọlẹ̀ sọ nínú rẹ̀; Elisabeti sì kún fún Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́,
42 She called out with a loud voice, and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
Ó sì ké ní ohùn rara, ó sì wí pé, “Alábùkún fún ni ìwọ nínú àwọn obìnrin, alábùkún fún sì ni ọmọ tí ìwọ yóò bí.
43 Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Èéṣe tí èmi fi rí irú ojúrere yìí, tí ìyá Olúwa mi ìbá fi tọ̀ mí wá?
44 For look, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy.
Sá wò ó, bí ohùn kíkí rẹ ti bọ́ sí mi ní etí, ọlẹ̀ sọ nínú mi fún ayọ̀.
45 Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord."
Alábùkún fún sì ni ẹni tí ó gbàgbọ́, nítorí nǹkan wọ̀nyí tí a ti sọ fún un láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa wá yóò ṣẹ.”
46 Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord.
Maria sì dáhùn, ó ní: “Ọkàn mi yin Olúwa lógo.
47 And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
Ẹ̀mí mi sì yọ̀ sí Ọlọ́run Olùgbàlà mi.
48 for he has looked at the humble state of his servant girl. For look, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
Nítorí tí ó síjú wo ìwà ìrẹ̀lẹ̀ ọmọbìnrin ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀. Sá wò ó, láti ìsinsin yìí lọ gbogbo ìran ènìyàn ni yóò máa pè mí ní alábùkún fún.
49 For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
Nítorí ẹni tí ó ní agbára ti ṣe ohun tí ó tóbi fún mi; Mímọ́ sì ni orúkọ rẹ̀.
50 His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear him.
Àánú rẹ̀ sì ń bẹ fún àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ̀, láti ìrandíran.
51 He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
Ó ti fi agbára hàn ní apá rẹ̀; o ti tú àwọn onígbèéraga ká ní ìrònú ọkàn wọn.
52 He has put down princes from their thrones. And has exalted the lowly.
Ó ti mú àwọn alágbára kúrò lórí ìtẹ́ wọn, o sì gbé àwọn onírẹ̀lẹ̀ lékè.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.
Ó ti fi ohun tí ó dára kún àwọn tí ebi ń pa ó sì rán àwọn ọlọ́rọ̀ padà ní òfo.
54 He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
Ó ti ran Israẹli ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́, ní ìrántí àánú rẹ̀;
sí Abrahamu àti àwọn ìran rẹ̀ láéláé, baba wa, àti bí ó ti sọ fún àwọn baba wa.” (aiōn g165)
56 Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.
Maria sì jókòó tì Elisabeti níwọ̀n oṣù mẹ́ta, ó sì padà lọ sí ilé rẹ̀.
57 Now the time that Elizabeth should give birth was fulfilled, and she brought forth a son.
Nígbà tí ọjọ́ Elisabeti pé tí yóò bí; ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan.
58 Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they rejoiced with her.
Àwọn aládùúgbò, àti àwọn ìbátan rẹ̀ gbọ́ bí Olúwa ti fi àánú ńlá hàn fún un, wọ́n sì bá a yọ̀.
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.
Ó sì ṣe, ní ọjọ́ kẹjọ wọ́n wá láti kọ ọmọ náà nílà; wọ́n sì fẹ́ sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Sekariah, gẹ́gẹ́ bí orúkọ baba rẹ̀.
60 His mother answered, "Not so; but he will be called John."
Ìyá rẹ̀ sì dáhùn, ó ní, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́! Johanu ni a ó pè é.”
61 They said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name."
Wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Kò sí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ará rẹ̀ tí à ń pè ní orúkọ yìí.”
62 They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
Wọ́n sì ṣe àpẹẹrẹ sí baba rẹ̀, bí ó ti ń fẹ́ kí a pè é.
63 And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they were all amazed.
Ó sì béèrè fún wàláà, ó sì kọ ọ wí pé, “Johanu ni orúkọ rẹ̀.” Ẹnu sì ya gbogbo wọn.
64 His mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.
Ẹnu rẹ̀ sì ṣí lọ́gán, okùn ahọ́n rẹ̀ sì tú, ó sì sọ̀rọ̀, ó sì ń yin Ọlọ́run.
65 Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.
Ẹ̀rù sì ba gbogbo àwọn tí ń bẹ ní agbègbè wọn, a sì ròyìn gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí ká gbogbo ilẹ̀ òkè Judea.
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.
Ó sì jẹ́ ohun ìyanu fún gbogbo àwọn tí ó gbọ́ nípa rẹ̀, wọ́n sì tò ó sínú ọkàn wọn, wọ́n ń wí pé, “Irú-ọmọ kín ni èyí yóò jẹ́?” Nítorí tí ọwọ́ Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
67 His father, Zechariah, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Sekariah baba rẹ̀ sì kún fún Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́, ó sì sọtẹ́lẹ̀, ó ní:
68 "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited and worked redemption for his people;
“Olùbùkún ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli; nítorí tí ó ti bojú wò, tí ó sì ti dá àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ nídè,
69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
Ó sì ti gbé ìwo ìgbàlà sókè fún wa ní ilé Dafidi ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀;

71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us;
Pé, a ó gbà wá là lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá wa àti lọ́wọ́ àwọn tí ó kórìíra wá.

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,
“Àti ìwọ, ọmọ mi, wòlíì Ọ̀gá-ògo jùlọ ni a ó máa pè ọ́: nítorí ìwọ ni yóò ṣáájú Olúwa láti tún ọ̀nà rẹ̀ ṣe;

80 The child was growing, and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
Ọmọ náà sì dàgbà, ó sì le ní ọkàn, ó sì ń gbé ní ijù títí ó fi di ọjọ́ ìfihàn rẹ̀ fún Israẹli.
