Luka 1
1 Bhamehele bhakitahidi kubheka simulizi mpangilio kuhusu masuala ambagho ghatimisibhu kati jhitu,
Forasmuch as many haue taken in hand to set foorth the storie of those things, whereof we are fully persuaded,
2 Kama kyabhatupelili tete, ambabho kuhomela kubhuandu twajhele mashahidi bha mihu ni bhatumishi bha bhajumbe.
As they haue deliuered them vnto vs, which from the beginning saw them their selues, and were ministers of ye word,
3 Hivyo ni nene kabhele, baada jha kuchungusya kwa uangalifu chanzo kya mambo ghoha agha kuhoma kubhuandu - nibhuene ni kinofu kwa nene kabhele kukuj'handikila mu mpangilio bhuake - mheshimibhwa Theofilo.
It seemed good also to me (most noble Theophilus) assoone as I had searched out perfectly all things from the beginning, to write vnto thee thereof from point to point,
4 Ili kwamba abhwesiajhi kumanya ukweli ghwa mambo ghaufundisibhu.
That thou mightest acknowledge the certaintie of those things, whereof thou hast bene instructed.
5 Katika magono gha Herode, mfalme ghwa Yudea, pajhele ni kuhani fulani jhaakutibhweghe Zakaria, bhwa lukholo lwa Abiya. N'dala munu ahomili mu bhabinti bha Haruni, ni lihina lya muene akutibhweghe Elizabeth.
In the time of Herod King of Iudea, there was a certaine Priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabet.
6 Bhoha bhajhele ni haki mbele sya k'yara; Bhagendili bila lawama mu amri syoha ni malagisu gha Bwana.
Both were iust before God, and walked in all the commandements and ordinances of the Lord, without reproofe.
7 Lakini bhajhelepi ni muana, kwandabha Elizabeth ajhe tasa, ni kwa wakati obho bhuoha bhoha bhabhele bhajhele bhaseya sana.
And they had no childe, because that Elisabet was barren: and both were well stricken in age.
8 Henu jhatokili kujha Zakaria ajhele ku uwepo bhwa K'yara, akajhendelela ni wajibu bhwa kikuhani ku utaratibu bhwa zamu jha muene.
And it came to passe, as he executed the Priestes office before God, as his course came in order,
9 Kulengana ni desturi jha kuchagula ndo kuhani jholekhu jhaibetakuhudumu, jha ahagulibhu kwa kura kujhingila mu hekalu lya Bwana ni kabhele ngaafukizi uvumba.
According to the custome of the Priests office, his lot was to burne incense, when he went into the Temple of the Lord.
10 Likundi lyoha lya bhanu likajha lis'oka kwibhala wakati bhwa kufukizibhwa kwa uvumba.
And the whole multitude of the people were without in prayer, while the incense was burning.
11 Henu malaika bha Bwana bhan'tokili ni kujhenia lubhafu lwa kulia bhwa madhabahu gha kufukizila.
Then appeared vnto him an Angel of the Lord standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Zakaria atishiki bho ambwene; hofu jhambinili.
And when Zacharias sawe him, he was troubled, and feare fell vpon him.
13 Lakini malaika akan'jobhela, “Usitili Zakaria, kwandabha maombi gha jhobhi nighap'eliki. N'dala bhu Elizabeth ibeta kuhogola mwana. Lihina lya muene wibetakun'kuta Yohana.
But the Angel saide vnto him, Feare not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard, and thy wise Elisabet shall beare thee a sonne, and thou shalt call his name Iohn.
14 Wibetakujha ni furaha ni uchangamfu, ni bhingi bhibeta kuhobhokela kuhogoleka kwa muene.
And thou shalt haue ioy and gladnes, and many shall reioyce at his birth.
15 Kwa kujha wibetakujha wembahe pa mihu gha Bwana. Ibetalepi kunywa divai wala kinywaji kikali, na ibeta kujha ajasibhu ni Roho mtakatifu kuhomela mu lileme lya nyinamunu.
For he shalbe great in the sight of the Lord, and shall neither drinke wine, nor strong drinke: and he shalbe filled with the holy Ghost, euen from his mothers wombe.
16 Ni bhanu bhingi bha Israel bhibeta kugeusibhwa kwa Bwana k'yara ghwa bhene.
And many of the children of Israel shall he turne to their Lord God.
17 Ibeta kulota palongolo pa mihu pa Bwana ku Roho ni nghofu sya Eliya. Ibeta kubhomba naha ili kukerebhusya mioyo ghya Dadi kwa bhana, ili kwamba bhabhibela kutii bhibeta kulota mu hekima jha bhenye haki. Ibeta kubhomba naha ili kubheka tayari kwa Bwana bhanu ambabho bhaandalibhu kwa ndabha jha muene.”
For he shall goe before him in the spirite and power of Elias, to turne the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisedome of the iust men, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
18 Zakaria akan'jobhela malaika, “Nibetakubhwesya bhuli kumanya ele? kwandabha nene ne n'seya ni n'dala bhangu miaka ghya muene ghimehele sana.”
Then Zacharias said vnto ye Angel, Whereby shall I knowe this? for I am an olde man, and my wife is of a great age.
19 Malaika ajibili ni kun'jobhela, “Nene ne Gabrili, ambajhe nijhema palongolo pa K'yara. Nalaghisibhu kukujobhela, kukuletela habari ejhe njema.
And the Angell answered, and sayde vnto him, I am Gabriel that stand in the presence of God, and am sent to speake vnto thee, and to shew thee these good tidings.
20 Na langayi, wibetalepi kulongela, wibetakujha kununu, wibetalepi kulongela mpaka ligono lela mambo agha pa ghibeta kuhomela. Ejhe Kwandabha ghwa shindilu kukiera malobhi ghangu ambagho ghibeta kutimisibhwa kwa wakati mwafaka.”
And beholde, thou shalt be domme, and not be able to speake, vntill the day that these things be done, because thou beleeuedst not my words, which shalbe fulfilled in their season.
21 Henu bhanu bhakajha bhakandela Zakaria. Bhasyangesibhu kujha ajhele itumila muda ghumehele mu hekalu.
Now the people waited for Zacharias, and marueiled that he taried so long in the Temple.
22 Lakini bho ahomili kwibhala, abhwesilepi kulongela nabhu. Bhakatambula kujha ibeta kujha akabhili maono bho ajhe mu hekalu. Ajhendelili kulasya ishara ni kubakila kinunu.
And when hee came out, hee coulde not speake vnto them: then they perceiued that hee had seene a vision in the Temple: For he made signes vnto them, and remained domme.
23 Ikatokela kwamba lgono lya huduma jha muene bhosimaliki kukerebhuka kunyumba jha muene.
And it came to passe, when the daies of his office were fulfilled, that he departed to his owne house.
24 Baada jha Zakaria kukerebhuka kunyumba kuhoma ku huduma jha muene jhe hekalu, n'dala munu ajhe ni luleme. Ni muene abhokilepi panyumba jha muene kwa muda bhwa miezi mitano. Akajobha,
And after those daies, his wife Elisabet conceiued, and hid her selfe fiue moneths, saying,
25 “Ele ndo Bwana alibhombi kwa nene bho anilangili kwa upendeleo ili kujhibhosya soni jha nene palongolo pa bhanu.”
Thus hath the Lord dealt with me, in the daies wherein he looked on me, to take from me my rebuke among men.
26 Henu, pa mwesi ghwa sita bhwa luleme lwa Elizabeth, k'yara an'jobhili malaika Gabrieli kulota ku mji ghwa Galilaya bhwawikutibhwa Nazareti,
And in the sixth moneth, the Angell Gabriel was sent from God vnto a citie of Galile, named Nazareth,
27 Kwa bikra jha aposibhu ni n'gosi ambajhe lihina lya muene lyajhele Yusufu. Muene ajhele bhwa lukholo lwa Daudi, ni lihina lya bikra ojhu ajhele Mariamu.
To a virgin affianced to a man whose name was Ioseph, of the house of Dauid, and the virgins name was Marie.
28 Akahida kwa muene ni kujobha, “salaam, bhebhe jhe upokili neema mbaha! Bwana apendisibhu nabhi”
And the Angel went in vnto her, and said, Haile thou that art freely beloued: the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 Lakini malobhi gha malaika ghan'changenye na ajhelibhu lepi kwandabha jha kiki malaika ajobhili salaam ejhe jha ajabu kwa muene.
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and thought what maner of salutation that should be.
30 Malaika akan'jobhela, “Usitili, Mariamu, kwandabha ukabhili neema kuhoma kwa k'yara.
Then the Angel saide vnto her, Feare not, Marie: for thou hast found fauour with God.
31 Na langayi, na wibeta kuhogola muana. Ni bhebhe wibetakun'kuta lihina lya muene 'Yesu.'
For loe, thou shalt conceiue in thy wobe, and beare a sonne, and shalt call his name Iesus.
32 Ibeta kujha mbaha ne ibeta kukutibhwa mwana jha ajhee panani sana. Bwana k'yara ibeta kump'ela kiti kya enzi kya Daudi dadimunu.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Sonne of the most High, and the Lord God shall giue vnto him the throne of his father Dauid.
33 Ibeta kutawala panani pa lukholo lwa Yakobo milele ni ufalme bhwa muene wibetalepi kujha ni mwisho. (aiōn g165)
And hee shall reigne ouer the house of Iacob for euer, and of his kingdome shall bee none ende. (aiōn g165)
34 Mariamu akan'jobhela malaika, e'le libetakutokela kwa muda gani, ndabha nibhwajhi lepi kugona ni n'gosi jhejhioha?
Then sayde Marie vnto the Angel, How shall this be, seeing I knowe not man?
35 Malaika ajibili ni kun'jobhela, “Roho mtakatifu ibeta kuhidila juu jha bhebhe, ni nghofu jha ajhekunani sana jhibeta kuhida panani pa bhebhe. kwa hiyo, mtakatifu jha ibeta kuhogoleka ibeta kukutibhwa mwana ghwa K'yara.
And the Angel answered, and said vnto her, The holy Ghost shall come vpon thee, and the power of the most High shall ouershadowe thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall bee borne of thee, shall be called the Sonne of God.
36 Na langayi, ndongo bhu Elizabeth ajhe ni luleme lwa mwana mu umri bhwa muene bhwa useya. Obho ndo mwesu ghwa sita kwa muene, ambajhe ambajhe akutibhweghe mgumba.
And behold, thy cousin Elisabet, she hath also conceiued a sonne in her olde age: and this is her sixt moneth, which was called barren.
37 Kwandabha lijhelepi libeta kubwesekana kwa k'yara.”
For with God shall nothing be vnpossible.
38 Mariamu akajobha, “Langayi, nene na n'tumishi n'dala ghwa Bwana. Lekajhi jhijhelayi naha kwa nene sawasawa ni ujumbe bhwa jhobhi.” Kisha malaika akandeka.
Then Marie said, Behold the seruant of the Lord: be it vnto me according to thy woorde. So the Angel departed from her.
39 Ndipo katika magono aghu Mariamu abhokili manyata alotili ku nchi jha vilima, ku mji katika nchi jha Yudea.
And Marie arose in those daies, and went into ye hil countrey with hast to a citie of Iuda,
40 Alotili munyumba jha Zakaria ni kumponesya Elizabeth.
And entred into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabet.
41 Bho ap'eliki salamu jha Mariamu, muana mulileme lya muene arukili, ni Elizabeth akamemesibhwa ni Roho mtakatifu.
And it came to passe, as Elisabet heard the salutation of Marie, the babe sprang in her bellie, and Elisabet was filled with the holy Ghost.
42 Apazili sauti jha muene ni kujobha kwa sauti mbaha, “ubarikibhu bhebhe zaidi miongoni mwa bhadala, ni muana jha ajhele mu lileme lya jhobhi abarikibhu.
And she cried with a loud voice, and saide, Blessed art thou among women, because the fruit of thy wombe is blessed.
43 Na jhijhebhuli kwa nene kujha, mabhu ghwa Bwana bhangu jhilondekaghe ahidayi kwa nene?
And whence commeth this to mee, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Kwa kujha langayi, bhojhipelekiki mie mb'olokhoto mwa nene sauti jha kuponesya kwa jhobhi, muana mulileme lya nene aruki kwa furaha.
For loe, assoone as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine eares, the babe sprang in my bellie for ioye,
45 Na abarikibhu n'dala jhola ambajhe akyeriri jha kujha ngeuhomili ukamilifu bhwa mambo ghala ghaajobhibhu kuhoma kwa Bwana.”
And blessed is shee that beleeued: for those things shall be perfourmed, which were tolde her from the Lord.
46 Mariamu akajobha, nafsi jha nene jhikan'sifu Bwana,
Then Marie sayde, My soule magnifieth the Lord,
47 ni roho jha nene jhibiobhwiki kwa k'yara mwokozi ghwangu.
And my spirite reioyceth in God my Sauiour.
48 Kwandabha ajhilangili hali jha pasi jha n'tumishi bhwa muene n'dala. Langayi, tangu henu mu fizazi fyoha bhibeta kunikuta mbarikibhwa.
For hee hath looked on the poore degree of his seruaunt: for beholde, from henceforth shall all ages call me blessed,
49 Kwandabha muene jha ajhe muweza abhombi mambo mabhaha kwa nene, ni lihina lya muene ni takatifu.
Because hee that is mightie, hath done for me great things, and holy is his Name.
50 Rehema jha muene jhidumu kuh'oma kizazi hadi kizazi kwa bhale bhabhaken'heshimu muene.
And his mercie is from generation to generation on them that feare him.
51 Alasili nghofo kwa kibhoko kya muene; abhatawenye bhela bhabhikifuneghe panani pa mabhwasu gha mioyo ghya bhene.
Hee hath shewed strength with his arme: hee hath scattered the proude in the imagination of their hearts.
52 Abhaselisi pasi bhana bha bhafalme kuhoma pa fiti fya bhene fya enzi ni kubhajhinula panani bhabhejhele bha hali jha pasi.
Hee hath put downe the mighty from their seates, and exalted them of lowe degree.
53 Abheshibishi bhenye njala kwa fenu finofu, bali matajiri abhabhengili mabhoko mat'opu.
Hee hath filled the hungrie with good things, and sent away the rich emptie.
54 Ahomisi msaada kwa Israeli n'tumishi ghwa muene, ili kukhomboka kulasya rehema.
Hee hath vpholden Israel his seruaunt to be mindefull of his mercie
(As hee hath spoken to our fathers, to wit, to Abraham, and his seede) for euer. (aiōn g165)
56 Mariamu atamili ni Elizabeth yapata miesi midatu efe ndo akakerebhuka kunyumba jha muene.
And Marie abode with her about three moneths: after, shee returned to her owne house.
57 Henu wakati bhwajhele uwadili kwa Elizabeth kwifungula mwana bhwa muene ni kwifungula mwana ghwa kigosi.
Nowe Elisabets time was fulfilled, that shee should be deliuered, and shee brought foorth a sonne.
58 Majirani bha muene ni bhalongo munu bhap'eliki jinsi Bwana kya ajhikuzili rehema kwa muene, na bhahobhwiki pamonga ni muene.
And her neighbours, and cousins heard tell howe the Lord had shewed his great mercie vpon her, and they reioyced with her.
59 Henu jhatokili ligono lya nane kwamba bhahidili kun'tahiri muana. Jhilondekaghe kun'kuta lihina lya muene, “Zekaria,” kwa kuzingatila lihina lya Dadimunu,
And it was so that on the eight day they came to circumcise the babe, and called him Zacharias after the name of his father.
60 Lakini nyinamunu ajibili ni kujobhoha, “Lepi; ibeta kukutibhwa Yohana.”
But his mother answered, and saide, Not so, but he shalbe called Iohn.
61 Bhakan'jobhela ajhelepi hata mmonga kwa bhalongobhu jhaikutibhwa kwa lihina e'le.”
And they saide vnto her, There is none of thy kindred, that is named with this name.
62 Bhakambombela ishara Dadimunu kuashiria muene alondeghe lihina akutibhwayi niani.
Then they made signes to his father, howe he would haue him called.
63 Dadi munu alondeghe kibao kya kulembela, na akalemba, “Lihina lya muene Yohana.” Bhoha bhasyangesibhu ni e'le.
So hee asked for writing tables, and wrote, saying, His name is Iohn, and they marueiled all.
64 Ghafla ndomo ghwa muene ghwafungulibhu ni lumilu lwa muene lwajhele huru. Akalongela ni kun'sifu k'yara.
And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake and praised God.
65 Hofu jhikabhahidila bhoha bhabhaishieghe karibu nabhu. Mambo agha ghakaenela mu nchi jhioha jha vilima vya Yudea.
Then feare came on all them that dwelt neere vnto them, and all these woordes were noised abroade throughout all the hill countrey of Iudea.
66 Na bhoha bhabhap'eliki bhaghatunzili mu mioyo ghya bhene, bhakajobha, “Muana ojho kujha ghwa namna jheleku?” kwandabha kibhoko kya Bwana kyajhele pamonga naku.
And al they that heard them, laid them vp in their hearts, saying, What maner childe shall this be! and the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 Dadimunu Zekaria amemesibhu ni Roho mtakatifu na ahomisi unabii, akajobha,
Then his father Zacharias was filled with the holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
68 “Asifibhwayi Bwana, k'yara ghwa Israeli, kwandabha asaidili na ashughulikili wokovu bhwa bhanu bha muene.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, because he hath visited and redeemed his people,
69 Atujhimelili pembe jha wokovu mu nyumba jha mtumishi bhwa muene Daudi, kuh'oma miongoni mwa mtumishi bhwa muene Daudi,
And hath raised vp the horne of saluation vnto vs, in the house of his seruant Dauid,
As he spake by ye mouth of his holy Prophets, which were since the world began, saying, (aiōn g165)
71 Ibeta kutuokola kuhoma kwa bhaadui bhitu ni kuhoma mumabhoko gha bhoha bha bhatudadili.
That he would sende vs deliuerance from our enemies, and from the hands of all that hate vs,
72 Ibeta kubhomba naha kulasya rehema kwa Dadi jhitu ni kukhomboka agano lya muene takatifu,
That he might shewe mercie towards our fathers, and remember his holy couenant,
73 Kiapo kyaajobhili kwa Abrahamu Dadi jhitu.
And the othe which he sware to our father Abraham.
74 Alapili kuthibitisya kwamba ngajhibhwesekene kun'tumikila muene bila bhuogha baada jha kuokolebhwa kuhoma mu mabhoko jha maadui bhitu.
Which was, that he would graunt vnto vs, that we being deliuered out of the handes of our enemies, should serue him without feare,
75 Mu utakatifu ni haki palongolo pa tete magono ghitu ghoha.
All the daies of our life, in holinesse and righteousnesse before him.
76 Ena, ni nabii ghwa ajhele panani sana, kwa kujha wibetakulota palongolo pa mihu pa Bwana ili kubhajhendalila njela, kubhaandala bhanu kwa ndabha jha ujio bhwa muene,
And thou, babe, shalt be called the Prophet of the most High: for thou shalt goe before the face of the Lord, to prepare his waies,
77 kujha bhibeta kuokolibhwa kwa njela jha kusamehebhwa dhambi sya bhene.
And to giue knowledge of saluation vnto his people, by the remission of their sinnes,
78 Ele libeta kuhomela kwa ndabha jha huruma jha k'yara ghwitu, sababu ambajho lijobha kuhomela kunani libeta kutu hidila,
Through ye tender mercy of our God, wherby the day spring from an hie hath visited vs,
79 Kajhangasya kwa bhene bhabhitama mu ngisi ni mu kivuli kya mauti. Ibeta kubhomba naha kujhilongosya magolo ghitu ku njela jha amani.”
To giue light to them that sit in darknes, and in the shadow of death, and to guide our feete into the way of peace.
80 Henu, muana jhola akakhola ni kujha mwenye nghofu mu roho na atamili nyikani mpaka ligono lya kwitokesya kwa muene kwa Israeli.
And the childe grewe, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the wildernesse, til the day came that he should shewe him selfe vnto Israel.
