Luka 1
1 Anit gbardang wa mala unyertinu nadu adu na ana malu kulu nanya bit.
Many have taken on the work of putting together an account of the things that 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.
just as they were passed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.
3 Nani, udu menku gigime wang nin feru nimoon dert oworu uburnu-nnan nyertine inin dert-udak kitin Theofilus unit ugigime.
So it seemed good to me also, because I have accurately investigated everything from the beginning, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,
4 Ndi nin su iyinin incasarak nimoon ile na ina masu minu.
so that you might know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
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.
In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a certain priest named Zechariah, from the division of Abijah. His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
6 Vat mine iwa cinu dert mbun Kutelle, icing lau sa utanu vat nanya nadu na Kutelle wa di nin su we.
They were both righteous before God, obeying all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
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 child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both very old by this time.
8 Lon liyiri Zakariya wa di kiti katwa me kan ti priest mbun Kutelle.
Now it came about that Zechariah was in God's presence, carrying out the priestly duties in the order of his division.
9 A priest nanya nadu ale na imenen sue ifere Zakariya ku a piro nanya kutiin nlira Kutelle a juju uhadaya.
According to the customary way of choosing which priest would serve, he had been chosen by lot to enter into the temple of the Lord to burn incense.
10 Ligoo na nite vat wa sosin ndas iyitan nlira kube na iwa jujun hadaye.
The whole crowd of people was praying outside at the hour when the incense was burned.
11 Gono kadura Kutelle tunna a nusno mbun me, a yisina likoot ncara ulime kupo napik njujuzun hadaya.
Now an angel of the Lord appeared to him and stood at the right side of the incense altar.
12 Zakariya ta zabat kube na awa yeneghe; bara na fiu wa kifoghe kang.
When Zechariah saw him, he was terrified 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.
But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son. You will call his name John.
14 Ima se mmang nin kibinai ki mang bara ame, anit gbardang ma lanzu mang nin maru me.
You will have joy and gladness, and many will 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 will be great in the sight of the Lord. He must never drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from his mother's womb.
16 A ma ti non Israila grardang i kpilin udak kitin Cikilari Kutelle mine.
Many of the people of Israel will be turned 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.”
He will go before the face of the Lord 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 righteous—to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him.”
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.”
Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I know this? For I am an old man and my wife is very old.”
19 Gono kadura Kutelle kpana a woro, “Meere Jibrailu, in yisin mbun Kutelle. I wa tuyi nda bellin fi nda nifi uliru umang ulele.
The angel answered and said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, to bring you this good news.
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.”
Behold! You will be silent, unable to speak, until the day these things take place. This is because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at the right time.”
21 Nanya nani, anite wa din ncaan Zakariya iyitan Kpilizue iyang ari ta a mini dandauna tituut nanya kutiin nlire nani.
Now the people were waiting for Zechariah. They were surprised that he was spending so much time 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 he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized that he had seen a vision while he was in the temple. He kept on making signs to them and remained silent.
23 Na ayiri katwa me nkulo, a yanya udu kilari.
It came about that when the days of his service were over, he went to his house.
24 Na ayirin nda, uwani me Alisabatu ta liburi. A nyeshe litime tipui titaun, adin su,
After these days, his wife Elizabeth conceived and for five months she kept herself hidden. She said,
25 “Ile imone Kutelle ari suui mun. Adin yenjii, aba kalui imon ncing nanya na nit.”
“This is what the Lord has done for me when he looked at me with favor in order to take away my shame before people.”
26 Nene nanya mpuin toocin nin ti liburin Alisabatu, itoo gono kadura Kutelle Jibrailu udu nanya nkang kagbirin Galili, lisa kanin Nazarat,
In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee named Nazareth,
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.
to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph. He belonged to the house of David, and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 Gono kaddura Kutelle da kiti me, a woro, “Nliso fi, udi gongong kang! Kutelle di ligowe ninfi!”
He came to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
29 A tunna ata kpak nin tigbulang to ne, anin kpiliza sa imus ni yapin ilipp ari ine di.
But she was very confused by his words and she wondered what kind of greeting this could be.
30 Gono kadure woroghe, “Na uwa lanza fiu ba, Maryamu, fee nse ngongong kiti Kutelle.
The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 See, u ma ti liburi u maru gono, u ma ninghe lisa Yesu.
See, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son. You will 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 will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David.
33 A ma su tigo kitene nakuran Yakubu udu sa ligang, na kutii tigo me ma yitu nin nimalin ba.” (aiōn g165)
He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his kingdom.” (aiōn g165)
34 Maryamu woron gono kadure, “Iyiziari ile imone ma ti, meng tutung du kabura?”
Mary said to the angel, “How will this happen, since I have not slept with any 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.
The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will come over you. So the holy one to be born will 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.
See, your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age. This is the sixth month for her, she who was called barren.
37 Na imon katin likara Kutelle ba.”
For nothing will be impossible for God.”
38 Maryamu woro, “Usoo nani, meng kucin Ncikilari ari.” Na ile imone so dert nafo na ubelle.
Mary said, “See, I am the female servant of the Lord. Let it be for me according to your message.” Then the angel left her.
39 Nanya nayiri ane Maryamu tunna a fita dedeiughanu udu kipin, udu kang kagbiri nayan Yahudiya.
Then Mary arose in those days and quickly went into the hill country, to a city in Judea.
40 A pira nanya kilarin Zakariya a liso Alisabatu ku.
She went into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
41 Kube na Alisabatu wa lanza ilippin Maryamu, gono nanya liburi me tunna ki metiline, Alisabatu tunna a kulo nin Ruhu Ulau.
Now it happened that when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby in her womb jumped, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
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.
She raised her voice and said loudly, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
43 Iyizi ari nta unan Cikilari ning na dak kiti ning?
Why has it happened to me 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 see, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb jumped for joy.
45 Ame ulenge na ayinna a di nin mmari, bara na uliru ulenge na ina belin litime unuzu kitin Cikilare ma kuluu.”
Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of the things that were told her from the Lord.”
46 Maryamu woro, “Ulai ning di liru Kutelle,
Mary said, “My soul praises the Lord,
47 Uruhu ning di nayi abo nin Kutelle unan tucu ning.
and my spirit has rejoiced in God my savior.
48 Bara na ana ghantin kuchin me kikimon. Nin nene udu ubun ji ma yicui unan mmari.
For he has looked at the low condition of his female servant. For see, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
49 Bara na Ame Udya na su imoon ididya bara meng, tutung lisa me di lau.
For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and his name is holy.
50 Nkune-kune me di kitene kuji udu kuji na nit alenge na idin lanzu fiu me.
His mercy lasts from generation to generation for those who fear him.
51 Ana su imon likara nin cara me; ana malu kiti nin na lenge na idin ghantizunu ati mine.
He has displayed strength with his arm; he has scattered those who were proud about the thoughts of their hearts.
52 Ana toltizin ago ketene natet tigo mine, anin ghantina kimon.
He has thrown down princes from their thrones and he has raised up those of low condition.
53 Ana niza anan kukpong imonli icine, anin kko anan nimon naacara sa imong nacara mine.
He has filled the hungry with good things, but the rich he has sent away empty.
54 Ana bun kucin me Israila, anan lizino nin
He has given help to Israel his servant, so as to remember to show mercy
(as he said to our fathers) to Abraham and his descendants forever.” (aiōn g165)
56 Maremu wa so nin Alisabatu tipui titat, anan kpilla udu kilari me.
Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and then returned to her house.
57 Na kubin Alisabatu wa duru kongo na ama maru gono me a tunna a mara gono.
Now the time had come for Elizabeth to deliver her baby 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.
Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy to 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.
Now it happened on the eighth day that they came to circumcise the child. They would have called him “Zechariah,” after the name of his father.
60 Unan gone kpana a woro, “Babu, ima yicu lisame Yohanna ari.”
But his mother answered and said, “No. He will be called John.”
61 Anite woroghe, “Na umong duku nanya likura mine na idin yicughe nin lisa lole ba.”
They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”
62 Itunna i kpiliya ucifin ngone ulire nin nacara inan yinno lisa longo na ibaa yicu gone mun.
They made signs to his father as to how he wanted him to be named.
63 A joorino nin cara inighe imon nanyert, a tuna a nyertine, “Lisa me Yohanna ari.” Vat mine umamaki kifo ani.
His father asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” They all were astonished at this.
64 Na nin nanzu kubi ba unuume tunna upuuno kidowo lileme buntu, a tuma nliru, nin su liru Kutelle.
Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue was freed. He spoke and praised 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.
Fear came on all who lived around them. All these matters were spread throughout all the hill country 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.
All who heard them stored them in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child become?” For 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,
His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying,
68 “Liru udu kitin Cikilari, Kutellen Israila, bara na ana dak kiti bit a puuno lbaun nutunu nanitme licin.
“Praised be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has come to help and he has accomplished redemption for his people.
69 Ana ni nari unan likaran tucu nanya likura kucinme Dauda,
He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
(as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from long ago), (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 who hate us.
72 Ana su nani anan durso nkune-kune udu nan kaa bite, anan nin likawale me,
He will do this to show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,
73 loli likawale isilinari na awa belin udu kitin kaa bit Ibrahim.
the oath that he spoke 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,
He swore to grant to us that we, having been delivered out of the hand of our enemies, would serve him without fear,
75 nanyan nlau ni su nimon icine mbun me udu ligan nayiri bit.
in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
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,
Yes, 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 paths, to prepare people for his coming,
77 unan buuno anit iyinin use ntucu nshawa nin nalapi mine.
to give knowledge of salvation to his people by 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.
This will happen because of the tender mercy of our God, because of which the sunrise from on high will come to help 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 shine on those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death. He will do this to guide our feet into the path 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.
Now the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
