Luka 1
1 Anit gbardang wa mala unyertinu nadu adu na ana malu kulu nanya bit.
BECAUSE many have willed to record histories of those transactions of which we are persuaded, according to that which they have delivered to us,
2 Alenge na iwa di iyizin yenju ucizunun burne ida so acin ligbulang, ida so acin ligbulang, ida belle arike ku.
(they) who from the first were eye-witnesses and ministers of his doctrine;
3 Nani, udu menku gigime wang nin feru nimoon dert oworu uburnu-nnan nyertine inin dert-udak kitin Theofilus unit ugigime.
it appeared also to me, that having been intimately near to them all, I should record every thing in its order for thee, illustrious Theophile,
4 Ndi nin su iyinin incasarak nimoon ile na ina masu minu.
that thou mayest know the truth of those doctrines in which thou hast been instructed.
5 Nanya nayirin Hiridus, ugon Yahudiya, umong unit wa duku ku priest lisa me Zakariya, unuzun likuran Abijah. Uwani me wa di unuzu anashonon Haruna, lisa me Alisabatu.
THERE was in the days of Herodes, king of the Jihudoyee, a certain priest whose name was Zakaria, of the service of the house of Abia, and his wife (was) of the daughters of Aharun; her name was Elishaba.
6 Vat mine iwa cinu dert mbun Kutelle, icing lau sa utanu vat nanya nadu na Kutelle wa di nin su we.
And they were both just before Aloha, and walked in all his commandments, and in the righteousness of the Lord, without blame.
7 Na iwa di nin nonol ba, bara na Alisabatu wa di uwanin sali kumat, vat mun wa di imalu ti akune.
But they had no son because Elishaba was barren, and both had become many in their days.
8 Lon liyiri Zakariya wa di kiti katwa me kan ti priest mbun Kutelle.
But it was while he was acting-as-priest in the order of his ministry before Aloha,
9 A priest nanya nadu ale na imenen sue ifere Zakariya ku a piro nanya kutiin nlira Kutelle a juju uhadaya.
according to the custom of the priesthood he came to set on incense, and entered into the temple of the Lord.
10 Ligoo na nite vat wa sosin ndas iyitan nlira kube na iwa jujun hadaye.
And all the congregation of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
11 Gono kadura Kutelle tunna a nusno mbun me, a yisina likoot ncara ulime kupo napik njujuzun hadaya.
And there appeared to him, to Zakaria, the angel of the Lord, standing on the right hand of the altar of incense.
12 Zakariya ta zabat kube na awa yeneghe; bara na fiu wa kifoghe kang.
And Zakaria trembled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
13 Gono kadura Kutelle woroghe, “Na uwa lanza fiu ba, Zakariya, bara ina lanza nlira fe. Uwane fe, Alisabatu, ama maru fi gono, uma ni lisa me Yohanna.
And the angel said to him, Fear not, Zakaria, for thy prayer is heard, and thy wife Elishaba shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Juchanon.
14 Ima se mmang nin kibinai ki mang bara ame, anit gbardang ma lanzu mang nin maru me.
And to thee shall be joy and exultation, and many shall rejoice in his birth:
15 Ame ma yitu unit u dya kiti Kutelle. Na a ma sonu nmyen nanab sa ntoro ba, Ima kulu ngeh nin Ruhu Ulau a dutu nanya liburin nna me.
for he shall be great before the Lord, and wine and strong liquor shall he not drink, and with the Spirit of Holiness shall he be filled, from the womb of his mother.
16 A ma ti non Israila grardang i kpilin udak kitin Cikilari Kutelle mine.
And many of the sons of Isroel shall he convert to the Lord their Aloha.
17 A ma katu mbun me nanyan ruhu nin likaran Iliya. A ma kpiliu nibinai na cif udu kitin nono, a ti anan dortun liru i cunu nanyan yiru nin libau licine. Ama su nani anan ta anit isoo kiti kirum nanya lisosin ncaa ndak Ncikilari.”
And he shall go before him in the spirit and the power of Elia the prophet, to turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and those who believe not to the knowledge of the righteous, and to prepare for the Lord a perfect people.
18 Zakariya woron gono kadura kutelle, “Nmati iyiziari nyimin kubin dak ni le imone? Bara na meng kukune ari, uwani ning tutung mali ti kuwali.”
And Zakaria said to the angel, How shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife many in her days.
19 Gono kadura Kutelle kpana a woro, “Meere Jibrailu, in yisin mbun Kutelle. I wa tuyi nda bellin fi nda nifi uliru umang ulele.
And the angel answered and said to him, I am Gabriel, I stand before Aloha, and I have been sent to speak with thee and to announce to thee these things.
20 Yene, uma ti uturo na u ma liru ba se kubi ko na uliru ulele ma kulu, bara unari uyinnu nin tigbulang too ne, ton go na ti ma kulu nanya kubi ku dert.”
From henceforth thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be able to speak, till the day when these things shall be done, because thou hast not believed these words, which shall be fulfilled in their time.
21 Nanya nani, anite wa din ncaan Zakariya iyitan Kpilizue iyang ari ta a mini dandauna tituut nanya kutiin nlire nani.
But the people were standing, and expecting Zakaria. and were wondering at his delay in the temple.
22 Kube na awa nuzu udas, na ayinno uliru nan ngyinu ba, itunna yinno a di yene amoro Kutelle nanya kutiin nlire. A bela nani nin nacara, nna yinno uliru nin nuu ba.
But when Zakaria had come forth, he could not speak to them; and he made them understand that he had seen a vision in the temple, and signing he signed to them, and remained dumb.
23 Na ayiri katwa me nkulo, a yanya udu kilari.
And when the days of his service were fulfilled, he came to his house.
24 Na ayirin nda, uwani me Alisabatu ta liburi. A nyeshe litime tipui titaun, adin su,
And it was after those days Elishaba his wife conceived, and she secluded herself five months.
25 “Ile imone Kutelle ari suui mun. Adin yenjii, aba kalui imon ncing nanya na nit.”
And she said, These things hath the Lord done for me in the days of my desolation, to take away my reproach from among the children of men.
26 Nene nanya mpuin toocin nin ti liburin Alisabatu, itoo gono kadura Kutelle Jibrailu udu nanya nkang kagbirin Galili, lisa kanin Nazarat,
BUT in the sixth month Gabriel the angel was sent from before Aloha to Galila, to a city whose name (is) Natsrath,
27 kitin nkong kubura na awa su likawali nin mong unit lisa me Yusufu. A wa di likura nan Dauda, lisa kubure wa di Maryamu.
unto a Virgin espoused to a man whose name was Jauseph, of the house of David, and the name of the Virgin was Mariam.
28 Gono kaddura Kutelle da kiti me, a woro, “Nliso fi, udi gongong kang! Kutelle di ligowe ninfi!”
And the angel entered to her, and said to her, Peace to thee, full of grace! our Lord is with thee, thou blessed among women!
29 A tunna ata kpak nin tigbulang to ne, anin kpiliza sa imus ni yapin ilipp ari ine di.
But she, when she saw, was troubled at his words, and reasoned what this salutation was.
30 Gono kadure woroghe, “Na uwa lanza fiu ba, Maryamu, fee nse ngongong kiti Kutelle.
And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mariam, for thou hast found favour with Aloha.
31 See, u ma ti liburi u maru gono, u ma ninghe lisa Yesu.
For, behold, thou shalt conceive, and shalt bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jeshu.
32 A ma yitu udya, i ma yicu lisa me Gonon Ngo Udya kitene kani. Kutelle Ucif ma nighe kutett tigo ncif me, Dauda.
He will be great, and the Son of the Most High shall he be called, and Aloha the Lord shall give unto him the throne of David his father.
33 A ma su tigo kitene nakuran Yakubu udu sa ligang, na kutii tigo me ma yitu nin nimalin ba.” (aiōn g165)
And he shall reign over the house of Jakub for ever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
34 Maryamu woron gono kadure, “Iyiziari ile imone ma ti, meng tutung du kabura?”
And Mariam said to the angel, How shall this be, because a man is not known to me?
35 Gono kadura woro nghe, “Uruhu Ulau ma dak Kiti fe nin likara Ndya kitene kani ma kirinfi. Bara nani, unit ulau une na uma maru i ma yicu lisa me Gono Kutelle.
The angel answered and said to her, The Spirit of Holiness shall come, and the Power of the Most High shall shadow over thee; on account of this He who (shall be) born from thee is the Holy, and the Son of Aloha shall be called.
36 Yene, Alisabatu likura fe wang di nin fisud (liburi) nanya tiwali me. A di nanyan piu untoocin nin libure, vat nin yicue na iwa yicu nghe uwanin diru kumat.
And behold, Elishaba thy kinswoman, she also beareth a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her, -to her who is called the barren.
37 Na imon katin likara Kutelle ba.”
For nothing is difficult to Aloha.
38 Maryamu woro, “Usoo nani, meng kucin Ncikilari ari.” Na ile imone so dert nafo na ubelle.
And Mariam said, Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord, be it unto me as thou hast said. And the angel went from her.
39 Nanya nayiri ane Maryamu tunna a fita dedeiughanu udu kipin, udu kang kagbiri nayan Yahudiya.
AND Mariam arose in those days, and went with haste to the mountain to a city of Jehud;
40 A pira nanya kilarin Zakariya a liso Alisabatu ku.
and she entered into the house of Zakaria, and saluted Elishaba.
41 Kube na Alisabatu wa lanza ilippin Maryamu, gono nanya liburi me tunna ki metiline, Alisabatu tunna a kulo nin Ruhu Ulau.
And it was that when Elishaba heard the salutation of Mariam, the infant leaped in her womb. And she was filled with the Spirit of Holiness;
42 A tunna a lirina a ghantina liwui kang a woro, “Fe unan mmari ari nanya nawani, fisudu nanya liburi fe wang di nin mmari.
and she cried with a loud voice, and said unto Mariam, Blessed art thou among women, And blessed is the fruit of thy womb!
43 Iyizi ari nta unan Cikilari ning na dak kiti ning?
Whence unto me is this, That the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Kubi kongo na liwui nilip fe wa diu natuf ning, gono nanya liburi ning tunna a zulluno bara ayi aboo.
For, lo, as fell the voice of thy salutation on my ears, For great Joy leaped the infant in my womb.
45 Ame ulenge na ayinna a di nin mmari, bara na uliru ulenge na ina belin litime unuzu kitin Cikilare ma kuluu.”
And happy is she who hath believed, For there is a fulfilment of those things which have been spoken to her from the Lord.
46 Maryamu woro, “Ulai ning di liru Kutelle,
And Mariam said: My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 Uruhu ning di nayi abo nin Kutelle unan tucu ning.
And my spirit rejoiceth in Aloha my Saviour,
48 Bara na ana ghantin kuchin me kikimon. Nin nene udu ubun ji ma yicui unan mmari.
Who hath looked upon the lowliness of his handmaid: For, behold, from now all generations shall give blessedness to me.
49 Bara na Ame Udya na su imoon ididya bara meng, tutung lisa me di lau.
Because he hath done for me great things, he who is mighty, And holy is his name.
50 Nkune-kune me di kitene kuji udu kuji na nit alenge na idin lanzu fiu me.
And his grace is for ages and generations Upon those who fear him.
51 Ana su imon likara nin cara me; ana malu kiti nin na lenge na idin ghantizunu ati mine.
He hath wrought victory with his arm; He hath scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
52 Ana toltizin ago ketene natet tigo mine, anin ghantina kimon.
He hath overturned the mighty from their thrones, And hath exalted the humble.
53 Ana niza anan kukpong imonli icine, anin kko anan nimon naacara sa imong nacara mine.
The hungry he hath satisfied with good things, And the rich he hath sent away empty.
54 Ana bun kucin me Israila, anan lizino nin
He hath helped Isroel his servant, And hath remembered his mercy;
As he spake with our fathers, With Abraham and with his seed for ever. (aiōn g165)
56 Maremu wa so nin Alisabatu tipui titat, anan kpilla udu kilari me.
And Mariam stayed with Elishaba three months, and returned to her house.
57 Na kubin Alisabatu wa duru kongo na ama maru gono me a tunna a mara gono.
BUT to Elishaba had come the time that she should give birth, and she gave birth to a son.
58 A doon lisosinn me nan likura me lanza ubeleng inkune-kune mongo na Kutelle su Maremu ku, inung wang su ayi abo ligowe ninghe.
And her neighbours and the sons of her family heard that Aloha had magnified his grace upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
59 Ituna, na ayiri linuanu me in kulo ayiri kulir, idaa nda kalu kucuru ngone, iwa din nworu inighe lisan Zakariya, nafo lisan incifme.
And it was the eighth day, and they came to circumcise the child; and they called him by the name of his father, Zakaria.
60 Unan gone kpana a woro, “Babu, ima yicu lisame Yohanna ari.”
And his mother answered and said to them, Not so; but he shall be called Juchanon.
61 Anite woroghe, “Na umong duku nanya likura mine na idin yicughe nin lisa lole ba.”
And they said to her, No man in thy kindred is called by this name.
62 Itunna i kpiliya ucifin ngone ulire nin nacara inan yinno lisa longo na ibaa yicu gone mun.
And they signed to his father (to show) how he willed they should call him.
63 A joorino nin cara inighe imon nanyert, a tuna a nyertine, “Lisa me Yohanna ari.” Vat mine umamaki kifo ani.
And he requested a tablet, and wrote, and said, Juchanan is his name. And every man wondered.
64 Na nin nanzu kubi ba unuume tunna upuuno kidowo lileme buntu, a tuma nliru, nin su liru Kutelle.
And immediately his mouth and his tongue were opened, and he spake, and blessed Aloha.
65 Fiu tunna fi kifo alenge vat na iwa di ligowe kite itunnan belu nimon ilenge na isu vat nanya kipin natala ucin du Uyahidiya.
And there was fear upon all around them; and in all the hill country of Jehud were these things spoken.
66 Vat na lenge na iwa lanza ubeleng nimon ilele itunan kpilizue nanya nibinai mine iworo nenghe, “Ani nene, gono kane ma yitu Iyiziari?” Bara na iwa yinin ucaran Ncikilari di ligowe ninghe.
And all who heard reasoned in their hearts, and said, What is this child to be? And the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 Ucif me Zakariya wa kulun nin Ruhu Ulau, a tunan belu nimon ilenge na ima su mbun,
And Zakaria his father was filled with the Spirit of Holiness, and he prophesied, and said:
68 “Liru udu kitin Cikilari, Kutellen Israila, bara na ana dak kiti bit a puuno lbaun nutunu nanitme licin.
Blessed be the Lord, the Aloha of Israel; For he hath visited his people, and wrought for him redemption,
69 Ana ni nari unan likaran tucu nanya likura kucinme Dauda,
And hath raised up for us the horn of redemption In the house of David his servant;
As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, Who have been from of old, (aiōn g165)
71 A na ti nari likawalin tucu nacara na nan nivira bit, nin nacara na lenge na inari arik.
That we should be delivered from our adversaries, And from the hand of all who hate us;
72 Ana su nani anan durso nkune-kune udu nan kaa bite, anan nin likawale me,
To perform his grace with our fathers, And to remember his holy covenant;
73 loli likawale isilinari na awa belin udu kitin kaa bit Ibrahim.
The oath which he sware to Abraham our father, -
74 A wa su isilin anan nutun nari nanya nacara na nan nikira bit anan ta nari ti sughe katwa sa fiu,
That to us he would grant That, being delivered from the hand of our adversaries, Without fear we might serve before him
75 nanyan nlau ni su nimon icine mbun me udu ligan nayiri bit.
All our days in righteousness.
76 A fee, gonon ning, ima yicufi unan liru nin nuu Kutelle Ugo Udya, bara na uma diu mbun Incikilari ukelee anit bara udak me,
And thou, child, the Prophet of the Most High Shalt thou be called; For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, And thou shalt prepare his way;
77 unan buuno anit iyinin use ntucu nshawa nin nalapi mine.
To give the knowledge of salvation to his people In the forgiveness of their sins,
78 Kutelle bite ma shawa nin nalapi bite bara nkune-nkune migbardan me, kitenen mon kune-kune, unan tucu ulenge na adi nafo uzun nwui, ma dak unuzu kitene kani a da bun mari.
Through the compassions of the grace of our Aloha; Whereby the morn-splendour shall visit us from on high,
79 A ma ni nkanang kiti nalenge na isosin nanyan nsirti nin kuyelin nkul. Ama dortu nin nabunu bite nanya libau lisosin limanng.”
To illumine those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death. And to direct our feet into the way of peace.
80 Gone tunna ki kuno, ada nin likara kidowo nin ruhu. A wa di so nanya kusho ku kau udu kobi kongo na a wa cizin upicu nanya na nitin Isaraila.
And the child grew, and was strong in the spirit, and was in the desert till the day of his manifestation unto Isroel.
