Luka 1
1 Anit gbardang wa mala unyertinu nadu adu na ana malu kulu nanya bit.
Inasmuch as many took it in hand to present a history concerning these things which have been fulfilled among us,
2 Alenge na iwa di iyizin yenju ucizunun burne ida so acin ligbulang, ida so acin ligbulang, ida belle arike ku.
as those being eyewitnesses and ministers of the Word have delivered unto us;
3 Nani, udu menku gigime wang nin feru nimoon dert oworu uburnu-nnan nyertine inin dert-udak kitin Theofilus unit ugigime.
it seemed good to me also, having followed carefully all things from the beginning, to write unto thee consecutively, O most noble Theophilus,
4 Ndi nin su iyinin incasarak nimoon ile na ina masu minu.
in order that thou mayest know the certainty of the words concerning 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 Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Ahijah, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.
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 righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord, blameless.
7 Na iwa di nin nonol ba, bara na Alisabatu wa di uwanin sali kumat, vat mun wa di imalu ti akune.
And there was no child to them, as Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in their days.
8 Lon liyiri Zakariya wa di kiti katwa me kan ti priest mbun Kutelle.
And it came to pass, while he was officiating in the order of his course before God,
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 was chosen by lot to offer incense), having gone into the temple of the Lord;
10 Ligoo na nite vat wa sosin ndas iyitan nlira kube na iwa jujun hadaye.
and all the multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense;
11 Gono kadura Kutelle tunna a nusno mbun me, a yisina likoot ncara ulime kupo napik njujuzun hadaya.
the angel of the Lord appeared unto him 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 Zacharias was troubled seeing him, and fear fell on 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, Zacharias; because thy prayer has been heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bring forth a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name John.
14 Ima se mmang nin kibinai ki mang bara ame, anit gbardang ma lanzu mang nin maru me.
And there shall be joy and rejoicing, and many shall rejoice at 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 he shall not drink wine and strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost even from the womb of his mother.
16 A ma ti non Israila grardang i kpilin udak kitin Cikilari Kutelle mine.
And he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord, their God.
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 will go before Him in the spirit and Power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient unto the understanding of the righteous, to prepare a people made ready for the Lord.
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 Zacharias said to the angel: According to what shall I know this? for I am old and my wife advanced 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 responding said to him; I am Gabriel standing in the presence of God, and am sent to speak to you and to preach to you 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.”
And behold thou shalt be dumb and unable to speak, unto the day upon which these things may take place; because thou didst not believe my 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.
And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and were wondering because he tarries 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.
And having come out he was unable to speak to them; and they recognized that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he was beckoning to them and remained dumb.
23 Na ayiri katwa me nkulo, a yanya udu kilari.
And it came to pass when the days of his ministry were fulfilled, he went away to his own house.
24 Na ayirin nda, uwani me Alisabatu ta liburi. A nyeshe litime tipui titaun, adin su,
And after these days Elizabeth, his wife, conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
25 “Ile imone Kutelle ari suui mun. Adin yenjii, aba kalui imon ncing nanya na nit.”
That the Lord so hath done unto me, in the days in which He condescended to take away my reproach among men.
26 Nene nanya mpuin toocin nin ti liburin Alisabatu, itoo gono kadura Kutelle Jibrailu udu nanya nkang kagbirin Galili, lisa kanin Nazarat,
And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, to which was the name
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.
Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man, to whom was the name Joseph of the house of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.
28 Gono kaddura Kutelle da kiti me, a woro, “Nliso fi, udi gongong kang! Kutelle di ligowe ninfi!”
And the angel having come to her said; Hail, thou blessed one; the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women.
29 A tunna ata kpak nin tigbulang to ne, anin kpiliza sa imus ni yapin ilipp ari ine di.
And she seeing was troubled over his word, and was reasoning what kind this salutation might be.
30 Gono kadure woroghe, “Na uwa lanza fiu ba, Maryamu, fee nse ngongong kiti Kutelle.
And the angel said to her; Fear not, Mary; for thou didst find favor with God.
31 See, u ma ti liburi u maru gono, u ma ninghe lisa Yesu.
And behold, thou shalt conceive and hear a son, and thou shalt call His name Jesus.
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 shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David:
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 Jacob forever, 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 Mary said to the angel; How shall this be, since I know not man?
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.
And the angel responding said to her; The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee; therefore, indeed, that holy thing that is begotten shall be called the Son of God.
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 Elizabeth thy kinswoman, indeed, herself having conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month, to her who is called barren.
37 Na imon katin likara Kutelle ba.”
Because no word shall be impossible with God.
38 Maryamu woro, “Usoo nani, meng kucin Ncikilari ari.” Na ile imone so dert nafo na ubelle.
And Mary said; Behold the handmaiden of the Lord; may it be done unto me according to thy word. And the angel went away from her.
39 Nanya nayiri ane Maryamu tunna a fita dedeiughanu udu kipin, udu kang kagbiri nayan Yahudiya.
And Mary, rising, departed into the mountainous land, with haste, into a city of Judah.
40 A pira nanya kilarin Zakariya a liso Alisabatu ku.
And she came into the house of Zacharias and saluted Elizabeth.
41 Kube na Alisabatu wa lanza ilippin Maryamu, gono nanya liburi me tunna ki metiline, Alisabatu tunna a kulo nin Ruhu Ulau.
And it came to pass when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant in her womb leaped; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit; and she spoke with a loud voice and said;
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.
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43 Iyizi ari nta unan Cikilari ning na dak kiti ning?
And whence is this to me that the mother of my Lord may come unto me?
44 Kubi kongo na liwui nilip fe wa diu natuf ning, gono nanya liburi ning tunna a zulluno bara ayi aboo.
For behold when the voice of your salutation came into my ears, the infant in my womb leaped with joy.
45 Ame ulenge na ayinna a di nin mmari, bara na uliru ulenge na ina belin litime unuzu kitin Cikilare ma kuluu.”
And blessed is she that believeth, because there shall be a perfection to those things having been spoken to her by the Lord.
46 Maryamu woro, “Ulai ning di liru Kutelle,
And Mary said; My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 Uruhu ning di nayi abo nin Kutelle unan tucu ning.
and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour,
48 Bara na ana ghantin kuchin me kikimon. Nin nene udu ubun ji ma yicui unan mmari.
because He looked upon the low state of his handmaiden.
49 Bara na Ame Udya na su imoon ididya bara meng, tutung lisa me di lau.
For behold from now all generations call me blessed; because the Mighty One did great things unto me, and His name is holy;
50 Nkune-kune me di kitene kuji udu kuji na nit alenge na idin lanzu fiu me.
and His mercy unto generation of generations to them that fear Him.
51 Ana su imon likara nin cara me; ana malu kiti nin na lenge na idin ghantizunu ati mine.
He wrought power by his own arm; he dispersed the proud in the thought of their heart.
52 Ana toltizin ago ketene natet tigo mine, anin ghantina kimon.
He cast down the mighty from thrones and exalted the humble.
53 Ana niza anan kukpong imonli icine, anin kko anan nimon naacara sa imong nacara mine.
He filled the poor with good things, and sent away the rich empty.
54 Ana bun kucin me Israila, anan lizino nin
He delivered his son Israel, to remember mercy,
as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his seed forever. (aiōn g165)
56 Maremu wa so nin Alisabatu tipui titat, anan kpilla udu kilari me.
And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
57 Na kubin Alisabatu wa duru kongo na ama maru gono me a tunna a mara gono.
And the time of her parturition was fulfilled unto Elizabeth and she brought forth 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 the neighbors and her relatives heard, that the Lord was magnifying His mercy with her, and they continued to rejoice 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 came to pass on the eighth day, they came to circumcise the little child; and they were calling him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
60 Unan gone kpana a woro, “Babu, ima yicu lisame Yohanna ari.”
And his mother responding said; No, but he shall be called John.
61 Anite woroghe, “Na umong duku nanya likura mine na idin yicughe nin lisa lole ba.”
And they said to her; That there is no one among thy kindred who 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 were beckoning to his father, what he might wish to call him.
63 A joorino nin cara inighe imon nanyert, a tuna a nyertine, “Lisa me Yohanna ari.” Vat mine umamaki kifo ani.
And having asked for a writing tablet, he wrote saying; His name is John.
64 Na nin nanzu kubi ba unuume tunna upuuno kidowo lileme buntu, a tuma nliru, nin su liru Kutelle.
And all marveled. And his mouth immediately opened and his tongue loosed, and he continued to speak, praising God.
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 fear came upon all of those dwelling around; and all these words were spoken abroad in all the mountainous regions of Judea.
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 those hearing placed them in their heart, saying; What then shall this little child 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 Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied saying;
68 “Liru udu kitin Cikilari, Kutellen Israila, bara na ana dak kiti bit a puuno lbaun nutunu nanitme licin.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, because He looked upon us and wrought redemption to His people, and raised up unto us a horn of salvation
69 Ana ni nari unan likaran tucu nanya likura kucinme Dauda,
in the house of David His son.
As he spoke through the mouth of His holy prophets from the beginning; (aiōn g165)
71 A na ti nari likawalin tucu nacara na nan nivira bit, nin nacara na lenge na inari arik.
salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all those who hate us,
72 Ana su nani anan durso nkune-kune udu nan kaa bite, anan nin likawale me,
to execute mercy with our fathers, and remember His holy covenant,
73 loli likawale isilinari na awa belin udu kitin kaa bit Ibrahim.
the oath which He swore 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,
to grant unto us, having been delivered out of the hand of our enemies, to serve Him without fear,
75 nanyan nlau ni su nimon icine mbun me udu ligan nayiri bit.
in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.
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, little child, shall be called a prophet of the Highest; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways,
77 unan buuno anit iyinin use ntucu nshawa nin nalapi mine.
to give knowledge of salvation to His people in remission 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 bowels of mercy of our God, in which the dayspring from on high looked upon us,
79 A ma ni nkanang kiti nalenge na isosin nanyan nsirti nin kuyelin nkul. Ama dortu nin nabunu bite nanya libau lisosin limanng.”
to appear unto those sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet in 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 little child continued to grow and waxed strong in spirit; and was in the deserts until the day of his showing unto Israel.
