Luke 1
1 Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
Sumbu batu batona sonika mambu momo mavioka va khatitsikꞌeto;
2 even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
banga bubatukambila mawu kuidi batu bobo baba bambangi bamona mesotona vana thonono ayi baba bisadi bi mambu ma Nzambi.
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;
A mueni Tewofile, ndimona ti didi dimbote, sumbu ndifiongunina bumbotemambu moso tona vana thonono mu kusonikina mawu boso bu malandikinini
4 that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
muingi wuzaba kiedika ki mambu momo wulongu.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the priestly division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
Mu thangu Elode kaba ntinu mu Yuda, muba ayi nganga Nzambi yimosi, dizina diandi Zakali. Niandi wuba mu dikabu di Abia ayi nketo andi Elizabeti wuba mu nkuna Aloni.
6 They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
Bawu buadi baba batu basonga va meso ma Nzambi ayi baba kinzikangazithumunu zioso ayi mina mioso mi Pfumu mu kambu tsembolo.
7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
Basia buta bana ko bila Elizabeti wuba sita ayi bawu buadi baba banuna ngolo.
8 Now while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his division
Lumbu kimosi Zakali kaba sala kisalu kiandi ki kinganga Nzambi va ntuala Nzambi bila yiba thangu yi dikabu diandi;
9 according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
landila bu bela kifu ki zinganga Nzambi, niandi wubuilu tsombo mu kota mu vinga ki nlongo ki Pfumu mu diambu di yoka ansa.
10 The whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
Mu thangu yinyokongo ansa, nkangu woso wu batu widi mu lusambulu ku nganda.
11 An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
Tumbu zimbukila mbasi yi Pfumu yintotukila, buna yitelimini va koko ku lubakala lu diziku di banyokilanga ansa.
12 Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
Zakali bu kammona, weka ntita ayi weka mona tsisi.
13 But the angel said to him, “Don’t be afraid, Zacharias, because your request has been heard. Your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
Vayi mbasi yinkamba: —A Zakali, bika mona tsisi bila Nzambi wuwilu lusambulu luaku, diawu nketoꞌaku Elizabeti wela kubutila muana wu bakala ayi wela kuntedilanga Yowani.
14 You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.
Wala ba tho yi khini ayi di tsaya kuidi ngeyo ayi batu bawombo bela mona khini mu mbutukulu andi.
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.
Wela ba wunneni va ntuala Pfumu, kalendi nua kadi vinu ko, kadi malavu mankolosongo ko. Wela ba wufuluka mu Pheve Yinlongo tona mu vumu ki nguandi.
16 He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.
Wela vutula bana ba Iseli bawombo kuidi Nzambi awu.
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 prepare a people prepared for the Lord.”
Wela tuamina Pfumu ku ntuala mu mpeve ayi mu lulendo lu Eli mu diambu di vutula nguizani va khatitsika madisa ayi bana bawu, mu diambu di batu bobo badi matingu batula mu tezo ki yindula bangabatu basonga ayi mu kubika batu bakubama mu diambu di Pfumu.
18 Zacharias 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.”
Buna Zakali wuyuvula mbasi: —A buevi ndiela bu zabila e? Bila minu veka ndieka nunu ki ngolo ayi nketo ama mimvu miwombo keka.
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.
Mbasi yimvutudila: —Minu ndidi Ngabi, minu nditelamanga va ntuala Nzambi, thumunu mu kuyolukila ayi ku kamba minsamu miami mimbote.
20 Behold, you will be silent and not able to speak until the day that these things will happen, because you didn’t believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”
Vayi weka kituka dibaba ayi wulendi baka bu buela yolukilanga ko nate lumbu kioki mambu mama mela vangama. Bobo buela bela bila wusi wilukila ko mambu mama, momo mela vangama mu thangu yifuana.
21 The people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marveled that he delayed in the temple.
Vayi mu thangu beni, nkangu wu batu wuba vingila Zakali. Batu basimina bu bamona ti wulembu zingila muna vinga ki nlongo.
22 When he came out, he could not speak to them. They perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.
Bu katotuka, kasi baka bu yolukila ko batu bobo bakutakana. Buna basudika ti tsongolo kamueni muna vinga nlongo. Niandi mu bidimbu kaba kuba yolukila ayi wusiala dibaba.
23 When the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
Bu kamanisa bilumbu biandi bi kisalu, buna wuvutuka ku nzoꞌandi.
24 After these days Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,
Bilumbu bina bu bivioka, nketo andi Elizabeti weka mu buemba. Vayi zingondi zitanu kasuamina bila wukamba ti:
25 “Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my reproach among men.”
—Tala maphangidi Pfumu! Niandi wumbengudidi thalu yimbote ayi botudi zitsoni ziama va meso ma batu boso.
26 Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
Mu ngondi yi nsambanu, Nzambi wufidisa mbasi Ngabi ku divula dimosi didi mu Ngalili. Dizina di divula beni Nazaleti,
27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of David’s house. The virgin’s name was Mary.
kuidi muana ndumba wumosi wuwizana makuela ayi bakala dimosi, diba mu nkuna Davidi. Dizina di bakala beni Zefu ayi dizina di muana ndumba Maliya.
28 Having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, you highly favored one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!”
—Mboti aku e! Ngeyo wumonokono nlemvo kuidi Nzambi! Pfumu widi yaku!
29 But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be.
Maliya weka mona boma bu kawa mambu momo. Wuba ku kiyuvula tsundu yi mbote yoyo.
30 The angel said to her, “Don’t be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
Buna mbasi yinkamba: —Bika mona tsisi Maliya bila Nzambi wumueni kiadi.
31 Behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and shall name him ‘Jesus.’
Tala: wela ba mu buemba ayi wela buta muana wu bakala; wela kuntedilanga Yesu.
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,
Wela ba wunneni. Wela tedudulungu “Nzambi yizangama” ayi Pfumu Nzambi wela kumvana kundu ki kipfumu ki nkulu andi Davidi.
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom.” (aiōn g165)
Wela biadilanga, mu zithangu zioso, batu batotukila mu Yakobi ayilubialu luandi lulendi suka ko. (aiōn g165)
34 Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?”
Maliya wukamba Mbasi: —A buevi mela vangimina bila ndisi zaba nitu yi bakala ko?
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 from you will be called the Son of God.
Mbasi yimvutudila: —Pheve Yinlongo yela kuluka mu ngeyo ayi kitsusula ki lulendo lu Nzambi wuzangama kiela kufukidila. Diawu wunlongo wela butuka, wela tedudulungu Muana wu Nzambi.
36 Behold, Elizabeth your relative also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
Tala khombꞌaku Elizabeti, mamvandi widi mu buemba bu muana wu bakala mu bununu buandi. Niandi baba tedilanga sita weka mu ngondi andi yi nsambanu.
37 For nothing spoken by God is impossible.”
Bila kuisi ko diambu diela lembakana vanga Nzambi.
38 Mary said, “Behold, the servant of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.
Buna Maliya wuvutula: —Minu ndidi kisadi ki Pfumu. Bika mavangimina kuidi minu boso buididi mambu maku. Buna mbasi yimbika.
39 Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,
Mu bilumbu bina, Maliya wuyenda nsualu-nsualu ku divula didiku miongo, mu zunga ki Yuda.
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.
Wukota mu nzo Zakali ayi wuvana Elizabeti mboti.
41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Thangu Elizabeti kawa mbote yi Maliya muanꞌandi wunikuka mu vumu kiandi. Buna wuwala mu Pheve Yinlongo.
42 She called out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
Ayi wuyamikina mu mbembo yingolo: —Ngeyo widi wusakumunu va miudi baketo ayi muana widi mu vumu kiaku widi wusakumunu.
43 Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Buna kuevi kubedi diambu diadi ti ngudi yi Pfumu ama kiza kuidi minu e?
44 For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy!
Bila mu thangu nguilu mbotiꞌaku mu matu mama buna muana wunikukini mu vumu kiama mu diambu di khini.
45 Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!”
Khini kuidi nketo wowo wuwilukila bila mambu momo makamba Pfumu mu diambu diandi mela vangama.
46 Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord.
Buna Maliya wukamba: Muelꞌama wunkembisanga nzitusu wu Pfumu
47 My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,
ayi mpeve yama yilembo mona khini mu diambu di Nzambi, Mvulusi ama.
48 for he has looked at the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.
Bila wubengudi thaluꞌandi va kisadi kiandi kikambulu mfunu, diawu zitsungi zioso ziela kuthedilanga nketo wu zikhini.
49 For he who is mighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name.
Bila Nzambi yi zingolo zioso wuphangidi mambu manneni Dizina diandi didi dinlongo.
50 His mercy is for generations and generations on those who fear him.
Ayi mamboti mandi mela zingilanga mu tsungi ka tsungi, kuidi bobo ba kunkizikanga.
51 He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
Wumonikisidi zingolo ziandi mu koko kuandi, wusasikisidi batu badi luniemo mu mintima miawu
52 He has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted the lowly.
Wukuludi batu ba lulendo mu bikundu biawu bi kipfumu ayi wunangikidi batu bobo badi balembama
53 He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.
Wuyukutisidi batu bobo baba nzala mu bima bimbote. Wusindika bamvuama mioko yi mioko
54 He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
Wusadisidi kisadi kiandi Iseli mu thebukulu yi moyo mu mambote mandi.
Banga buididi tsila yi kavana bakulu beto kuidi Abalahami ayi kuidi nkunꞌandi mu zithangu zioso. (aiōn g165)
56 Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.
Tezo ki zingondi zitatu Mliya kavuandila kuidi Elizabeti, bosi wuvutuka ku nzoꞌandi.
57 Now the time that Elizabeth should give birth was fulfilled, and she gave birth to a son.
Lumbu ki Elizabeti ki buta bu kifuana, wubuta muana wu bakala.
58 Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her.
Bakundi bandi ayi bibutu biandi bu bawa phila Pfumu kamonisina mambote mandi, bamona khini va kimosi ayi niandi.
59 On the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
Muana bu kadukisa dinana di bilumbu, bayiza mu diambu di nzengulu yi nitu yi kibakala. Bawu boso bazola kuntedila Zakali banga dizina di siandi,
60 His mother answered, “Not so; but he will be called John.”
vayi nguandi wukamba ti: —Nana, dizina diandi Yowani.
61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”
Vayi bawu bankamba: —Kadi mutu wumosi mu dikanda diaku kasi ko dizina diodi.
62 They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
Buna bayuvula dise, mu bidimbu, mu zaba dizina mbi katidi vana muana.
63 He asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, “His name is John.” They all marveled.
Wulomba tini ki dibaya; muna kasonika ti: —Dizina diandi Yowani. Buna batu boso basimina.
64 His mouth was opened immediately and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.
Muna thangu yina, munu andi wuzibudidi ayi ludimi luandi luniangukidi. Wuyolukidi ayi wukembisidi Nzambi.
65 Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.
Batu babo bafikasana yawu bamona tsisi, ayi, bayolukilamambu beni mu tsi yoso yi miongo mi Yuda.
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.
Babo bawa nsamu beni balunda wawu mu mintima miawu ayi batuba: “A buna muana beni buevi kela bela e?” Bila Pfumu wuba yandi.
67 His father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Dise diandi Zakali wufuluka mu Pheve Yinlongo, diawu kabikudila ti:
68 “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people;
Nkembo kuidi Pfumu, Nzambi yi Iseli Bila wuyiza tala batu bandi ayi wuba kudidi
69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
Wututotudidi nkudi wu lulendo mu nkuna Davidi, kisadi kiandi.
Banga bu kayolukila tona vana thonono mu miunu mi mimbikudi miandi minlongo: (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us;
ti wela ku tukula mu mioko mi bambeni zieto; mu mioko mi batu bobo ba kutulendanga.
72 to show mercy toward our fathers, to remember his holy covenant,
Mu diambu di dukisa mambote kuidi bakulu beto ayi mu diambu di tebukila nguizani andi yinlongo moyo;
73 the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
ayi tebukila moyo ndefi yoyo kalevila nkulu eto Abalahami
74 to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, should serve him without fear,
mu kutuvana diluaku di kunsadila mu kambu tsisi bu kameni kutukula mu mioko mi bambeni zieto
75 in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life.
mu bunlongo ayi mu busonga, mu bilumbu bieto bi luzingu, va ntualꞌandi.
76 And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,
Ngeyo muana, wela tedudulungu Mbikudi wu Nzambi yizangama bila ngeyo wela tuaminina Pfumu ku ntualꞌandi mu diambu di kubika nzilꞌandi;
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the remission of their sins,
mu diambu di zabikisa kuidi batu bandi ti Nzambi wumveni phulusu ayi wunlemvukidi masumu andi.
78 because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the dawn from on high will visit us,
Bila Nzambi eto fulukidi mu diadi ayi mu mambote Diawu mbuetete yi nsuka yela totukila ku yilu mu diambu dieto
79 to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
mu diambu di kienzula bobo badi mu tombi ayi bobo badi mu kini ki lufua, ayi mu diambu di diaisa zithambi zieto mu nzila yi ndembama.
80 The child was growing and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
Muana wuyunduka ayi wukinda mu mpeve. Bosi wuzingila mu bibuangu bisuama nate mu lumbu kioki kakimonisa va meso ma batu ba Iseli.
