Luke 1
1 To his Excellency, Theophilus. Many attempts have been already made to draw up an account of those events which have reached their conclusion among us,
Nungsijaraba Theophilus: Eikhoigi irakta thunghanbikhraba thoudoksing adugi paodam adubu inanaba mioi kaya amana kanna hotnakhi.
2 just as they were reported to us by those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses, and afterwards became bearers of the Message.
Ahoubadagi houna thoudoksing asibu mamitmakna uhoubasing amasung Mapugi waheigi thougal toubasing aduna eikhoida phongdokpirambasing adu makhoina ikhi.
3 And, therefore, I also, since I have investigated all these events with great care from their very beginning, have resolved to write a connected history of them for you,
Aduga, he ikai khumnaraba Theophilus, pumnamaksing adu eihakna ahoubadagi houna changkhonna thijillaba maramna, thoudoksing adu mathang manao naina nahakki naphamda iba phagani haina eihaknasu ningle.
4 in order that you may be able to satisfy yourself of the accuracy of the story which you have heard from the lips of others.
Nangonda tambikhraba pumnamaksing adugi mapungphaba achumba adu nahakna khangnanaba eina masi naphamda ibani.
5 In the reign of Herod, King of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the Division called after Abijah. His wife, whose name was Elizabeth, was also a descendant of Aaron.
Herod-na Judea leibakki ningthou oina pallingei matamda, Abijah-gi purohit kanglupta Zechariah kouba purohit ama leirammmi. Mahakki nupigi maming Elijabeth kou-i; aduga Elizabeth-su purohit Aaron-gi charon suron oirammi.
6 They were both righteous people, who lived blameless lives, guiding their steps by all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
Makhoi animakna Mapu Ibungogi yathangsing amadi pathap pumnamaksing mapungphana ngakchaduna Tengban Mapugi mityengda chumna chatchaba punsi mahing amada hinglammi.
7 But they had no child, Elizabeth being barren; and both of them were advanced in years.
Adubu makhoi macha amata leiramde maramdi Elizabeth chaboktabi oirammi aduga makhoi animak ahalsu yamna oirammi.
8 One day, when Zechariah was officiating as priest before God, during the turn of his Division,
Nongmagi numitta Zechariah-gi purohit kangbuna thougal toubagi palli taraduna mahakna Mapugi Sanglenda purohit ama oina Tengban Mapugi thougal tourammi.
9 it fell to him by lot, in accordance with the practice among the priests, to go into the Temple of the Lord and burn incense;
Aduga latnapungda mengkruk thanaba purohitsinggi chatnabi matung inna changyengnabada mangonda tare. Maram aduna mahakna Mapu Ibungogi sanglen manungda changle.
10 and, as it was the Hour of Incense, the people were all praying outside.
Amasung mengkruk chukhatpagi pungpham aduda tilliba miyam aduna mapanda haija nijaduna leirammi.
11 And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right of the Altar of Incense.
Adudagi Mapu Ibungogi dut amana mengkruk thariba iratpung adugi yet thangbada leptuna mangonda uhanbirammi.
12 Zechariah was startled at the sight and was awe-struck.
Zechariah-na mahakpu ubada masada thukatpa amadi akiba phaorammi.
13 But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son, whom you shall call by the name John.
Adubu swarga dut aduna mangonda hairak-i, “Kiganu, Zechariah! Nahakna haijaba adu Tengban Mapuna tabire. Nahakki nupi Elizabeth-na nachanupa ama poklagani aduga nahakna mahakki maming John haina thongadabani.
14 He shall be to you a joy and a delight; and many shall rejoice over his birth.
Mahak pokpa matamda nahakna kayada haraoba amadi nungaiba oigadaba! Amasung mi kayana kayada harao nungaiba oigadaba!
15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord; he shall not drink any wine or strong drink, and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit from the very hour of his birth,
Maramdi Mapu Ibungogi mityengda mahak matik chaogani. Mahakna yu amadi mayai kaba mahi amata thakloi, aduga mama puknungdagi houna mahak Thawai Asengbana than-gani.
16 and shall reconcile many of the Israelites to the Lord their God.
Amasung mahakna Israel macha kayabu makhoigi Tengban Mapu, Mapu Ibungoda hallak-han-gani.
17 He shall go before him in the spirit and with the power of Elijah, ‘to reconcile fathers to their children’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, and so make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him.”
Mahakna Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa maichou Elijah-gi machat amadi matikka loinana Ibungogi mang thana chatkani. Mahakna misingbu Ibungona lenglakkadaba adugidamak thourang langhannaba mapasingbu machasingga amuk yasinnahangani amasung haiba indabasingbu achumba chatpasinggi lousing aduda hongdokpigani.”
18 “How can I be sure of this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “For I am an old man and my wife is advanced in years.”
Adudagi Zechariah-na dut aduda hairak-i, “Masi soidana thokkani haibasi eihakna kamdouna khanggadage? Eidi ahal oiraba mini aduga eigi nupisu ahal oire.”
19 “I am Gabriel,” the angel answered, “who stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.
Maduda dut aduna khumlak-i, “Ei Grabriel-ni. Nangonda wa hainanaba amasung aphaba pao asibu tamnanaba eibu thabirakpa Tengban Mapugi mangda eina lepli.
20 And now you shall be silent and unable to speak until the day when this takes place, because you did not believe what I said, though my words will be fulfilled in due course.”
Adubu achaba matamda soidanamak thoklagadaba eigi wasing asi nahakna thajade. Aduga nahakna thajadabagi maramna eina nangonda haikhibasing asi thoktriba numit adu phaoba nahak wa ngangba thokloi aduga wa amata ngangdana tumminna leigani.”
21 Meanwhile the people were watching for Zechariah, wondering at his remaining so long in the Temple.
Cheirak aduda mising aduna Zechariah-bu mapanda ngaiduna leirammi amasung mahakna karigi Mapugi Sanglen manungda matam asuk kuina leiribano haina makhoi ngaklammi.
22 When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision there. But Zechariah kept making signs to them, and remained dumb.
Amasung mahakna mapanda thorakpa matamda, mahakna makhoida wa ngangba ngamkhide. Aduga mahakna Mapugi Sanglen manungda uhanbiba ama ukhre haiba makhoina khanglammi, maramdi mahakna makhoida ingit touduna nganglammi adubu wa ngangbadi adumak ngamkhide.
23 And, as soon as his term of service was finished, he returned home.
Aduga Mapugi Sanglenda mahakki thougal toubagi numitsing adu loirabada Zachariah mayumda amuk halaklammi.
24 After this his wife, Elizabeth, expecting to become a mother, lived in seclusion for five months.
Matam kharagi matungda Elizabeth mironlaklammi aduga mahakna tha manga yumdagi mapan thoklamde.
25 “This is what the Lord has done for me,” she said, “now that he has deigned to take away the reproach under which I have been living.”
Mahakna haikhi, “Houjik mameithangda Mapu Ibungona eibu pangbire. Miyam mangda eina ikaiba nanglamba adu Ibungona louthokpire!”
26 Six months later the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,
Elizabeth-na mironba tha taruk surakpada Tengban Mapuna swargadut Grabriel-bu Nazareth kouba Galilee-gi khungangda tharakle.
27 to a maiden there who was betrothed to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. Her name was Mary.
Mahakna Mary haina koubi, David ningthougi chada-naoda oiriba Joseph kouba nupa amada luhongnaba waroinakhrabi leisabi asengbi amagi pao puduna laklammi.
28 Gabriel came into her presence and said: “Hail, you who have been highly favoured! The Lord is with you.”
Aduga dut aduna mangonda laktuna hairak-i, “Khurumjari, thoujal phanglabi! Mapu Ibungona nahakpu loinabiri; nupisinggi maraktagi nahakti yaipahabini.”
29 Mary was much disturbed at his words, and was wondering to herself what such a greeting could mean,
Maryna dut adugi wahei aduda yamna cha-ngaknarammi amasung mahakki waheising aduna kari phongdoklibano haiduna khallammi.
30 when the angel spoke again: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God.
Maduda dut aduna hairak-i, “Kiganu Mary, Tengban Mapudagi nahakna thoujal phangjare.
31 And now, you shall be with child and give birth to a son, and you shall give him the name Jesus.
Nahakna mironduna nacha nupa ama pokkani aduga nahakna mahakki maming Jisu thongadabani.
32 The child shall be great and shall be called ‘Son of the Most High,’ and the Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David,
Mahak matik chaogani aduga Wangthoiraba Mapu Ibungogi machanupa kougani. Mapu Ibungo Tengban Mapuna mangonda mapa David-ki phambal adu pibigani,
33 and he shall reign over the descendants of Jacob for ever; And to his kingdom there shall be no end.” (aiōn g165)
Aduga mahakna Jacob-ki chada-naodasinggi ningthou oina matam pumbagi oina pan-gani, amadi mahakki leibak adu lomba nairoi.” (aiōn g165)
34 “How can this be?” Mary asked the angel. “For I have no husband.”
Adudagi Mary-na dut aduda hairak-i, “Eihakti luhongdribi leisabini, adu oirabadi masi kamdouna oithokkadouribano?”
35 “The Holy Spirit shall descend upon you,” answered the angel, “and the Power of the Most High shall overshadow you; and therefore the child will be called ‘holy,’ and ‘Son of God.’
Dut aduna khumlak-i, “Thawai Asengbana nahakki nathakta lengthabirakkani aduga Wangthoiraba Ibungo adugi panggalna nahakpu lumsinbigani. Maram asina pokkadouriba asengba angang adubu Tengban Mapugi Machanupa kougani.
36 And Elizabeth, your cousin, is herself also expecting a son in her old age; and it is now the sixth month with her, though she is called barren;
Yengu, nahakki mari mata Elizabeth-su ahal oiraklaba matamsida macha ama phangjagadoure, chaboktabi hainarambi mahakna houjikti tha tarukki angang naopure.
37 for no promise from God shall fail to be fulfilled.”
Maramdi Tengban Mapugi maphamda oithoktaba kari amata leite.”
38 “I am the servant of the Lord,” exclaimed Mary; “let it be with me as you have said.” Then the angel left her.
Maduda Mary-na hairak-i, “Eihak Mapu Ibungogi manainupini; nahakna haikhibagum masi eingongda thokpa oirasanu.” Adudagi dut adu mahakpu thadoktuna chatkhre.
39 Soon after this Mary set out, and made her way quickly into the hill-country, to a town in Judah;
Madugi matung ikui kuidana Mary-na thourang touraduna chinggi lamdamda leiba, Judea-gi apikpa sahar amada thuna chatlammi.
40 and there she went into Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth.
Amasung mahakna Zechariah-gi yumda changduna Elizabeth-pu khurumjarammi.
41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child moved within her, and Elizabeth herself was filled with the Holy Spirit,
Aduga Mary-na khurumjabagi khonjel adu Elizabeth-na tabada mahakki pibuknungda angang aduna chonglammi. Amasung Elizabeth Thawai Asengbana thallammi.
42 and cried aloud: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is your unborn child!
Aduga mahakna khonjel wangna hairak-i, “Nupilaktagi nahakti khwaidagi henna yaiphabini, amasung nahakna naopugadouriba angang adu yaiphabani!
43 But how have I this honour, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Eigi Ibungogi imana eigi inakta lengbiraktuna eibu asuk ekai khumnabiriba asi karamnano?
44 For, as soon as your greeting reached my ears, the child moved within me with delight!
Maramdi nahakna khurumjabagi khonjel adu eina hek tabaga eigi pibuknunggi angang asina haraoduna chongkhatli.
45 Happy indeed is she who believed that the promise which she received from the Lord would be fulfilled.”
Mapu Ibungona mahakki maphamda haikhrabasing adu thunghanbigani haina thajaribi mahak adu yaiphabini!”
46 And Mary said: “My soul exalts the Lord,
Maduda Maryna hairak-i, “Eigi thawaina Mapu Ibungobu thagatchei,
47 my spirit delights in God my Saviour;
Eigi thawaina eigi Kanbiba Mapu, Tengban Mapuda haraojei,
48 for he has remembered his servant in her lowliness; And from this hour all ages will count me happy!
Maramdi mahakna tollabi manainupi eihakpu ningsingbire! Houjiktagi houduna miron khudingna kougani eibu yaiphabi;
49 Great things has the Almighty done for me; And holy is his name.
Maramdi toubire Pangallaba mahakna, eigidamak achouba thabak kaya. Ibungo mahakki minglendi asengbani;
50 From age to age his mercy rests On those who reverence him.
Mahakpu kina chatchabasingda, utpi mahakna chanbiba; miron miron khudingda.
51 Mighty are the deeds of his arm; He scatters the proud with their own devices,
Toubire mahakki pambomna, matik leiba thabak kaya; aduga chaikhaire mahakna, mathamoida napal touba misingbu.
52 he casts down princes from their thrones, and the lowly he uplifts,
Chingthakhi mahakna matik leiba ningthousingbu makhoigi ningthou phambaldagi, aduga thanggatpikhi mahakna nollukpasingbu.
53 the hungry he loads with gifts, and the rich he sends empty away.
Thalhanbikhi mahakna aram-khourangbasingbu aphabana, adubu thakhi inakhunbasingbu khut hangna.
54 He has stretched out his hand to his servant Israel, Ever mindful of his mercy
Ngakkhi mahakna sakkhiba washaktu, eikhoigi ipa-ipusingda, aduga lakkhi pangbinaba mahakki manai Israel-bu.
Ningsingbikhi mahakna, matam pumnamakta chanbiba utpigani haibadu, Abraham amadi mahakki charon suronsingda!” (aiōn g165)
56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months, and then returned to her home.
Adudagi Mary-na tha ahummuk Elizabeth-ka leiminnaramlaga mayumda hankhirammi.
57 When Elizabeth’s time came, she gave birth to a son;
Elizabeth-ki angang unabagi matam oiraklabada, mahakna machanupa ama pokkhi.
58 and her neighbours and relations, hearing of the great goodness of the Lord to her, came to share her joy.
Aduga mahakki keirol-leikaisingna amadi mari-matasingna Mapu Ibungona mahakpu kayada chanbibage haibadu tare amasung makhoi pumnamakna mahakka loinana haraominare.
59 A week later they met to circumcise the child, and were about to call him ‘Zechariah’ after his father,
Angang aduna numit nipanni subada makhoina mahakpu un kakpa lakle, amasung makhoina angang adubu mapagi maming louduna Zechariah thonnaba tourammi.
60 when his mother interposed: “No, he is to be called John.”
Adubu Elizabeth-na makhoida haikhi, “Natte, mahakki maming John haina thongadabani.”
61 “You have no relation of that name!” they exclaimed;
Maduda makhoina mangonda hairak-i, “Nakhoigi sagei natei marakta ming adu kouba mi amatasu yaode.”
62 and they made signs to the child’s father, to find out what he wished the child to be called.
Adudagi makhoina angang adugi mapa Zechariah-da ingit touduna, mahakna angang adugi maming kari thonba pambage haiduna hanglammi.
63 Asking for a writing-tablet, he wrote the words — ‘His name is John.’ Every one was surprised;
Maduda mahakna mangonda inanaba korbak ama pinaba hairammi, aduga maduda mahakna “Mahakki maming John kou-i” haina ire. Maduda makhoi pumnamak pumngak ngakle.
64 and immediately Zechariah recovered his voice and the use of his tongue, and began to bless God.
Khudak adumaktada Zechariah amuk hanna wa ngangba ngamle aduga mahakna Tengban Mapubu thagatchaba houre.
65 All their neighbours were awe-struck at this; and throughout the hill-country of Judea the whole story was much talked about;
Aduga thokkhibasing asina maram oiduna mahakki keirol-leikai pumnamak akibana thallammi, amasung thoudok pumnamak asigi paona Judah-gi chinggi lamdam adu sinba thungna sandokkhirammi.
66 and all who heard it kept it in mind, asking one another — “What can this child be destined to become?” For the Power of the Lord was with him.
Amasung pao adu taba mi khudingmakna, madugi maramda wakhal touraduna hanglak-i, “Angang asina kari oirakkadaba?” Maramdi Mapu Ibungogi pangalna mahakki mathakta lei haiba makhoina khanglammi.
67 Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and, speaking under inspiration, said:
Amasung John-gi mapa Zechariah Thawai Asengbana thallammi aduga mahakna Tengban Mapugi wa phongdoktuna hairak-i:
68 “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, Who has visited his people and wrought their deliverance,
“Eikhoina Israel-gi Tengban Mapu, Mapu Ibungobu thagatlasi! Mahakna mahakki misingbu pangbinaba lakle amasung makhoibu handokpire!
69 and has raised up for us the Strength of our Salvation In the House of his servant David —
Mahakna mahakki manai David-ki charon surondagi, Pinabire eikhoigidamak matik leiba Kanbiba Mapu ama.
Mahakna mamangngeida mahakki wa phongdokpiba asengba maichousingi mapanna washakpikhi, (aiōn g165)
71 Salvation from our enemies and from the hands of all that hate us,
Kanbigani haina Mahakna, eikhoibu eikhoigi yeknabasingdagi, amadi eikhoibu yengthiba pumnamakki makhuttagi.
72 showing mercy to our forefathers, And mindful of his sacred Covenant.
Haibikhi mahakna eikhoigi ipa ipusingda, chanbiba utpigani haina, aduga mahakki asengba warepnaba adu mahakna ningsingbikhi.
73 This was the oath which he swore to our forefather Abraham —
Wasakpikhi mahakna Ipa Abraham-da,
74 That we should be rescued from the hands of our enemies,
Kanbigani haina Mahakna eikhoibu yeknabasingi makhuttagi aduga ngamhanbigani haina eikhoibu akiba leitana mahakpu thouganjaba,
75 and should serve him without fear in holiness and righteousness, In his presence all our days.
Punsi chuppa eikhoina Mahakki mangda asengba amadi achumba chatpa oinaba.
76 And thou, Child, shalt be called Prophet of the Most High, For thou shalt go before the Lord to make ready his way,
Aduga, eigi ichanupa, nahakpu wangthoiraba Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichou haina kougani; Ibungogi lambi thourang tounaba, Chatkani nahakna Ibungogi mang thaduna.
77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation In the forgiveness of their sins,
Ibungogi misingda hainanaba, makhoigi papsingdu kokpibagi mapanna, Makhoibu kanbigani haina.
78 through the tender mercy of our God, Whereby the Dawn will break on us from Heaven,
Maramdi eikhoigi Tengban Mapudi chanbiheibani amadi nungsiheibani. Thok-hanbigani Mahakna, aran-khubamgi langlaba ayukki korou mangal adu eikhoida.
79 to give light to those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, And guide our feet into the way of peace.”
Ngalhannanaba korouthaktagi, asibagi mamlaba mamida leiriba pumnamakki mathakta. Chingbinanaba eikhoigi khongthangbu, ingthabagi lambida.”
80 The child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the Wilds till the time came for his appearance before Israel.
Adudagi angang adu hakchang amadi thawaida chaokhatlaklammi. Aduga mahakna masabu Israel-gi miyamda phongdoktringeigi matam adu phaoba lamjao lamhangda leirammi.
