Luka 1
1 Afwanaje abhantu abhinji bhabheshela amakhono asebhe eshe tukalibu owe nongwa nelwe mombia gula gagu timiziwe pahati yetu,
Forasmuch as many haue taken in hand to set foorth the storie of those things, whereof we are fully persuaded,
2 Neshe bhala shubhatihudithiga bhala bhabhahali bhashahidi bhagalolaga. na bhula atumishi abhalila izu elyufume ahwande.
As they haue deliuered them vnto vs, which from the beginning saw them their selues, and were ministers of ye word,
3 Endolile shinza ane nane, afwanaje ehwiyanzie ulwilyoli amambo ega gonti afume huwandilo husimbire hupanjililo Theafilo hwutukfu.
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 Opate amanye elyoli emambo gala gohasambelezewe.
That thou mightest acknowledge the certaintie of those things, whereof thou hast bene instructed.
5 Umwaha gwa Herode, umwene uwa Yudea, palino kohani omo itawa lyakwe Zakaria, uwa tandilane no Abya. No she wakwe bhulibhabhebho ya Haruni, itawa lyakwe Elizabeti.
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 Na hwonti bhabhele bhali bhelyoli hwitagalila elya NGOLOBHE; bhahendeleye ne ndajizwo zwonti ezwa gosi ne ndajizwo lyakwe bila eyaune.
Both were iust before God, and walked in all the commandements and ordinances of the Lord, without reproofe.
7 Bhape sebhali no mwana eshi Elizabethi ali gomba, na bhonti bhabhule bhali bhagogolo tee.
And they had no childe, because that Elisabet was barren: and both were well stricken in age.
8 Basi nashi nabhombaga embombo eye ukuhani uwa taratibu uwa tandilane hwakwe hwitagalila elyu NGOLOBHE.
And it came to passe, as he executed the Priestes office before God, as his course came in order,
9 Neshe shashahali ekawaida yao eye Ukuhani, ekora ehangweleye ahwinjile mshibhanza esha gosi ili kufukizo 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 Na mabungano gonti ega bhantu bhali puta hwonze esaa ya kufukiza uvumba.
And the whole multitude of the people were without in prayer, while the incense was burning.
11 Wafumilya no malaika uwa gosi ayemeleye upani uwendelo paluputo ya kufukiza.
Then appeared vnto him an Angel of the Lord standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Zakaria nawalola adhugumiye owoga wamwinjiye.
And when Zacharias sawe him, he was troubled, and feare fell vpon him.
13 Lelo ula umalaika wabhola uganje, “Awogope Zakaria, eshi apute hwaohwo vwehwe. Na ushe waho Uzabeth aihupapila umwana. Olume na itawa lyakwe wayihumweta 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 Nawe wabha nolunzongwo na shangwe nabhantu abhinji bhayihusongwa apapwa hwakwe.
And thou shalt haue ioy and gladnes, and many shall reioyce at his birth.
15 Kwasababu ayibha gosi hwitagalile gosi sagayimwela idivai wala akholwe wape aimemezewe.
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 Upepo umwololo hata afume mvyanda mwanyi wakwa Na abhini abha Israeli aibhaweziye hwa gosi UNGOLOBHE wao.
And many of the children of Israel shall he turne to their Lord God.
17 Wapa aitangulila hwitalilo lyakwe ne roho ye hwa Eliya. Enguvu zwakwe ili agagalusye amoyo gabhuise igabhalile abhana, na abhabheshela bhabhatejile enjele ezye bhelyoli na hubheshele ugosi tayali abhantu bhabhalenganyinziwe.”
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 abholele malaika, “Naimayawele izu ulyo eshi endigogolo na ushe wane gogolo wensiku nyinji.”
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 Umalaika wagalula wabhozya, “Ane ne Gabrieli, nenemeleye, hwitagalalilo lya NGOLOBHE. Nane entunuwilye anjanje nawe, na hubhole lenongwa ezi enyinza.
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 nyenye, ubhabhe bubu, sobhayanje, mpaka isiku lila nayayibhombeha. Ego kwasababu sewahovwezye enongwa zyane gape gayitimila huwakati wakwe.”
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 Nabhala abhantu bhalibhahugolela uZakaria. Bhaswiga akhalilihwakwe mla mshibhanza.
Now the people waited for Zacharias, and marueiled that he taried so long in the Temple.
22 Nawafuma alisagawezya, ayanje nao bhamenye aje. alolile amaono mhati mshibhanza. Wape ahendeleye abhalolesya akhale abhebubu.
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 Zyabha ensiku ezye utumishi wakwe nuzyafiha abhalile akhaya yakwe.
And it came to passe, when the daies of his office were fulfilled, that he departed to his owne house.
24 Huta ensiku zila ushe wakwe ulizabethi apate evyanda wabha na amezi gasanu. Nawayanga, “
And after those daies, his wife Elisabet conceiued, and hid her selfe fiue moneths, saying,
25 Eshi shambombeye UGOSI ensiku zila zyanenyizya esoni yane hwitagalilo elyabhantu.”
Thus hath the Lord dealt with me, in the daies wherein he looked on me, to take from me my rebuke among men.
26 Umwezi uwa tanda umalaika uGabrieli asontezywe no NGOLOBHE abhalile mpaka mji wa hu Galilaya, itawa lyakwe Nazareti,
And in the sixth moneth, the Angell Gabriel was sent from God vnto a citie of Galile, named Nazareth,
27 Hwa rendu ubikira ya pabhiliwa no muntu itawa lyakwe Yusufu. Wa hutali hwa Daudi, na itawa lyakwe ubikira uyo yu Mariamu.
To a virgin affianced to a man whose name was Ioseph, of the house of Dauid, and the virgins name was Marie.
28 Ahinjila munyumba yakwe wayanga, “Mwagona, upewewe eneema! no GOSI alipandwemo nawe.”
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 Wapa ashelile tee afwatana nenongwazyakwe. Asebha humwoyo endamuho ene yeshe.
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and thought what maner of salutation that should be.
30 Umalaika abhola, “Ugaje hogope, Mariamu, afwanaje upate eneema afume hwa NGOLOBHE.
Then the Angel saide vnto her, Feare not, Marie: for thou hast found fauour with God.
31 Enya ubhahweje, uyanda na pape umewna ulume, na itawa lyakwe ubha hwumwete u 'Yesu.'
For loe, thou shalt conceiue in thy wobe, and beare a sonne, and shalt call his name Iesus.
32 Oyo aibha GOSI abhahwetwe mwana yali humwanya uGOSI UNGOLOBHE alihupela itengo elye umwene u Daudi use wakwe.
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.
And hee shall reigne ouer the house of Iacob for euer, and of his kingdome shall bee none ende. (aiōn g165)
34 UMariamu wabhola umalaika, zibhabhe wele enongwa ezi, afwanaje semenye ulume?
Then sayde Marie vnto the Angel, How shall this be, seeing I knowe not man?
35 UMalaika wajibu wabhola, “Upepo Uselu abhahumwenzele pamwanya yaho, na engulu zyakwe yalipamwanya zibhahu vwenwsye. Neshe izyongozi afwatanaje oyo yayipapwa ayibha zelu mwana wa NGOLOBHE.
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 Antele, enye uholo waho Elizabeti wape apete ulyanda ulya mwana ulume.
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 Afwatanaje nalimo izu lyasagaliwezehala hwa NGOLOBHE.”
For with God shall nothing be vnpossible.
38 UMariamu wayanga, “Waga, enye ane endi wembombo wa GOSI. Ebhehuline neshe shoyajele.” Antele umalaika wasogola wabhala hwamwahale.
Then Marie said, Behold the seruant of the Lord: be it vnto me according to thy woorde. So the Angel departed from her.
39 Basi u Mariamu wasogola ensiku ezyo wabhola hata ensi ya humagamba nanali mpaka ensi emo ya hwa Yudea.
And Marie arose in those daies, and went into ye hil countrey with hast to a citie of Iuda,
40 Winjelo munyumba mwa Zekaria walamuha u Elizabeti.
And entred into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabet.
41 Yabha, Elizabeti nahwovwa hula alamushe kwakwe uMariamu, ahana ahela handa ahwanje mvyanda vyakwe, Elizabeti wamema opepo Uzelu.
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 Wakhola hwizu elyemaha wanyaga usayilye, “Hwabhashe bhonti nawe empapwo yaho esaiwe.
And she cried with a loud voice, and saide, Blessed art thou among women, because the fruit of thy wombe is blessed.
43 Unfumiye izu eli, hata omaye uwu GOSI wane anenzelene?
And whence commeth this to mee, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Nenshe izu ilyalamusha gane ahana ahela hanga hasongwelwe mhati mvyanda vyane.
For loe, assoone as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine eares, the babe sprang in my bellie for ioye,
45 Wape nafu yayovyezye neshe naga itimila gabholelwe no GOSI.”
And blessed is shee that beleeued: for those things shall be perfourmed, which were tolde her from the Lord.
46 Omariamu wayanga, omwoyo gwane gwamwenye ONGOLOBHE,
Then Marie sayde, My soule magnifieth the Lord,
47 Roho yane esongwezye ONGOLOBHE yanauye ane.
And my spirite reioyceth in God my Sauiour.
48 Afwanaje agwenyizye unyonge uwe mbombo wakwe. Eshe, enyaga ahwandileshi evikholo vyonti vyayikwizya osayilwe.
For hee hath looked on the poore degree of his seruaunt: for beholde, from henceforth shall all ages call me blessed,
49 Afwatanaje owemaha ambombeye amagasi, lyape itawalyakwa lizelu.
Because hee that is mightie, hath done for me great things, and holy is his Name.
50 ERehema zyakwe zidela evikholo ne vikholo hwebho bhahahuputa.
And his mercie is from generation to generation on them that feare him.
51 Abhombile amaha uhukhono gwakwe; abhanyampenye abhemashento afume masebho ezye moyo gabho.
Hee hath shewed strength with his arme: hee hath scattered the proude in the imagination of their hearts.
52 Abhagwisizye agosi mmatengo gabho ageshimwene na nyonge abhabhosezye.
Hee hath put downe the mighty from their seates, and exalted them of lowe degree.
53 Abhenzala abhakutizizye aminza, bhape abhemali abhefwizye makhono wene.
Hee hath filled the hungrie with good things, and sent away the rich emptie.
54 Amwavwizye u Israeli uwembombo wakwa ili ahwizushe rehema zyakwe.
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 UMariamu wakhala nawo mpaka amezi gatatu nantele wawela abheale akhayayakwe.
And Marie abode with her about three moneths: after, shee returned to her owne house.
57 Zyabha ensiku ezya pape hwakwe u Elizabeti nazya timila, wapapa umwana lume.
Nowe Elisabets time was fulfilled, that shee should be deliuered, and shee brought foorth a sonne.
58 Bhahovwezye ajirani na mwabho bhakwe, aje GOSI amwonjezyezye erehema bhasongwa pandwemo nao.
And her neighbours, and cousins heard tell howe the Lord had shewed his great mercie vpon her, and they reioyced with her.
59 Lyabha isiku elya nane wakati wa kutahiri omwana. Bhahanza hupele itawa elyayise, “Zakaria,”
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 Unyino wakwe wagalula wayanga, “Nkashele; seshasho basi ayibha yo Yohana.”
But his mother answered, and saide, Not so, but he shalbe called Iohn.
61 Bhabhola sepali amuntu afume hwamwenyu bhaho akwiziwe itawa elya Yohana.
And they saide vnto her, There is none of thy kindred, that is named with this name.
62 Bhamwanya usewakwe sabhu hwmwete.
Then they made signes to his father, howe he would haue him called.
63 Wanza ahabampa wasimba aje, “itawa lyakwe yo Yohana.” Bhaswijitie bhonti.
So hee asked for writing tables, and wrote, saying, His name is Iohn, and they marueiled all.
64 Pepo na pepo ilomu lyakwe liguha numele lyakwe antele wanda ayaje. Nautelele ONGOLOBHE.
And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake and praised God.
65 Bhinjilwa nowoga bhonti bhali bhakheye pandwemo, na. mambo ego gonti gatangazezwe ensi yonti yammagamba mgamba e 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 bhonti bhabhagovwezye bhagabheha humoyo gabho, bhayanga, “Umwana uno ayibha wefwane hwele?” Afwaneje ukhono ogwa GOSI gwali pandwemo no mwane.
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 UZakaria uyise wamema opepo ozelu, wakuwawanyanga,
Then his father Zacharias was filled with the holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
68 “Abhosewe OGSI, ONGOLOBHE wa Israeli, afwanaje abhenzeye abhantu bhakwe na bhaule.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, because he hath visited and redeemed his people,
69 Atemelesezye empeta eyataule afume mlyango ugwa Daudi, uwe mbombo wakwe.
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 Tisatulwe na bhibhi bhentu na mma khono gabho bhonti bhabhativitwa
That he would sende vs deliuerance from our enemies, and from the hands of all that hate vs,
72 Ili abhabhombele aminza ababa bhetu na hwizushe ipatano lyakwe izelu,
That he might shewe mercie towards our fathers, and remember his holy couenant,
73 Ishilapo shalapiye Ibrahimu uyise wetu.
And the othe which he sware to our father Abraham.
74 Afwanaje anzatavwilizya ate taushe nimakhono gabhibhi bhetu na humpute bila woga.
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 Nazelu nelyoli hwitagalilo lyakwe ensiku zyonti.
All the daies of our life, in holinesse and righteousnesse before him.
76 Nawe, womwana wahwetwa, ukuwe ukuwe wakwe yalimwanya, afwaneje awa wayitangulila hwita galila humaso ega GOSI ulenga nyizizye amadala gakwe,
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 Obhabhozye abhantu bhakwa usatule aje asajilwe embibhi zyabho.
And to giue knowledge of saluation vnto his people, by the remission of their sinnes,
78 Hwidala elye rehema lya NGOLOBHE wetu, afwatanaje hwezyo okhozyo lwalufumile amwanya lutifishiye,
Through ye tender mercy of our God, wherby the day spring from an hie hath visited vs,
79 Abhakhozye bhabhakhala hukisi hunzunda eyenfwa. nagalongozwa unamana getu hwidala ilinza.”
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 Ula, mwana wakula wonjelela amaha roho wakhala humapoli hata hwisiku elye fumila hwakwe u 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.
