Luk'as Dooshishiyo 1
1 Shiimets Tewofloso! No dagotse k'aleets keewwotsi kishde'er kitsit tarikiyo haniye shin aywots guut'rnee.
To his Excellency, Theophilus. Many attempts have been already made to draw up an account of those events which have reached their conclusion among us,
2 Wosh han noosh beshitswots shin shinon teshts ááwon bek'tswotsnat b́ aap'tso nab́t teshtswotsiye.
just as they were reported to us by those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses, and afterward became bearers of the message.
3 Mank'owere taa shin shino tuzat jam keewo t'iwintsdek'at t s'iliyakoń b́ tarikiyo matsdek'at neesh t guut'etwok'o sheeng wotat taash b́ daatseyi.
And, therefore, I also, since I have investigated all these events with great care from their very beginning, have resolved to write a connected history of them for you,
4 Han tk'alwere ndants dano ar b́woto sheegshde dań ndek'isha etaatniye.
in order that you may be able to satisfy yourself of the accuracy of the story which you have heard from the lips of others.

In the reign of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the division called after Abijah. His wife, whose name was Elizabeth, was also a descendant of Aaron.
6 Gitwotswere Ik'o shinatse kááwwotsi bo teshi, Doonzo alonat teron iko bo shapirawona Ik'i shinatse sheeng beya bobefoni bo teshi.
They were both righteous people, who lived blameless lives, guiding their steps by all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
7 Elsabet' mahan b teshtsotse na'o deshatsno botesh, ando gitwotsu ay dek't gaawerwtskno bo tesh.
But they had no child, Elizabeth being barren; and both of them were advanced in years.
8 Manoor Zekariyas kahniwots jirwotsitse Ik'i mootse finosh b́ fini aawa b́tesh, mansha bí Ik'i shinatse b́ kahni fino b́finefera b́ tesh.
One day, when Zechariah was officiating as priest before God, during the turn of his division,
9 Kahaniyots yoots bo k'alfok'ooń doonzo Ik' moots kindt it'ano s'uwiwosh bíats it'o keshb́wutsi.
it fell to him by lot, in accordance with the practice among the priests, to go into the Temple of the Lord and burn incense;
10 Ik' mootsnowere it'ano s'uwiyewor, ash jamo úratse ned'de'rni Ik'o bok'onfo.
and, as it was the Hour of Incense, the people were all praying outside.
11 Doonzo melakiyo it'an s'uwiyeyiru t'arap'ezoke k'aniweeron ned'irwo Zekariyas ats be'eeb́wtsi.
And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right of the Altar of Incense.
12 Zekariyas Ik'i melakiman b́bek'or tek'at shatb́wts.
Zechariah was startled at the sight and was awe-struck.
13 Ernmó melakiyo bísh hank'owa bíet: «Zekariyaso! shatk'aye! Ik'o n k'ontso shishre, n máátsu Elsabet' nungush na'o neesh shuwitwaniye, b́ shútsono Yohansi err s'egetune.
But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, whom you will call by the name John.
14 B́ shuwewono geneúwi eeno neesh wotituwe, aywotsu b́ shuwewon mank'o genee'úwitunee.
He will be to you a joy and a delight; and many will rejoice over his birth.
15 Bí doonzo shinatse een wotitwe, weyiniwon dutsets bironat k'osh mashit úsho úyatse, indu maac'otse b́befere S'ayn shayiron s'eenk wotitwe.
For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; he will not drink any wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from the very hour of his birth,
16 Bí Isra'el ashotse aywotsi bo Doonz Izar Izewer maants aniyituwe,
and will reconcile many of the Israelites to the Lord their God.
17 Ari nebiyo Eliyas kok'o S'ayn shayironat angon wotaŕ nihwots nibo nana'o maants, aleraw ashuwots nibono kaawwots dan telofo maants aanitwe, ashaashwotsnowere doonzosh k'anbodek'etwok'o woshitwe.»
He will go before him in the spirit and with the power of Elijah, to reconcile fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, and so make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him.”
18 Ernmó Zekariyas melakiwosh «Keewan arik b́ woto eegneya t daneti? Taawere gaawerwtserere, tmáátsunwere gawerwtserane» bí et.
“How can I be sure of this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “For I am an old man and my wife is advanced in years.”
19 Melakiyonwe hank'o ett bísh bí aani, «Taa Ik'o shinatse ned'efo Gebreel taane, doo shishiyan neesh tkeewitwok'o Ik'oke wosheyat waare.
“I am Gabriel,” the angel answered, “who stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.
20 Neemó bí aawo b́bodor wotitwo t keewts keewo amaneratsne, mansh neesh t keewts keew jaman wotar b́ s'eenfetso gidik' wotar s'k err nbeetesheti, noon keewono falatsne.»
And now you will be silent and unable to speak until the day when this takes place, because you did not believe what I said, though my words will be fulfilled in due course.”
21 Manoor ash ashuwots Zekariysi bokotfera botesh, Ik'i mootse b́ ja'atsosh bo adi.
Meanwhile the people were watching for Zechariah, wondering at his remaining so long in the Temple.
22 Zekariyas Ik' mootse b́ keshor ash ashuwotsnton keeweyo falratse b́ tesh, mansh bo Ik' mootse bek'o b́bek'tsok'oo danbok'ri, bí b́ kishon kitsfetstni boosh b́ daniyiri bako noon keewo falratse b́ tesh.
When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision there. But Zechariah kept making signs to them, and remained dumb.
23 B́fiino b́ s'uwi hakon Zekariyas b́ moo maants k'az bíami.
And, as soon as his term of service was finished, he returned home.

After this his wife, Elizabeth, became pregnant and lived in seclusion for five months.
25 «Doonzo keewi sheenghan taash k'alre, ashuwots dagotse t gac'ewo tiatse k'aaú dek't juu k'rere.»
“The Lord has done this for me,” she said, “he has shown me kindness and taken away the public disgrace of childlessness under which I have been living.”

Six months later the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,
27 B́ woshewwere Dawit naar wottso Yosefi eteef ashosh wid'ets baarna'a s'eenúka b́ tesh, b shútsonwere Mariyami b tesh.
to a maiden there who was engaged to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. Her name was Mary.
28 Melakiyonwere b maants waat, «Nee Ik'i s'aaton s'eentsune, jeeno neesh wotowe! doonzo neentoniye, [Nee máátswotsitse derek neene]» bí et.
Gabriel came into her presence and greeted her, saying, “You have been shown great favor – the Lord is with you.”
29 Biwere melakiyo keew keewatse tuutson aydek'at tek'at, «Jam aatan awuk'o jam aate k'una?» etaat asaabbdek'i.
Mary was much disturbed at his words, and was wondering to herself what such a greeting could mean,
30 Melakiyonwere hank'o bish bíet, «Mariyame! Ik'i shinatse n baatsirwotse shatk'aye,
when the angel spoke again, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 Eshe! Na'o mac'ituune, nungush na'ono shuwiytuune, b́ shútsono Iyesusi etetune.
And now, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will give him the name Jesus.
32 Bí were een wotitwe, jamoniyere damb bogo Ik'o naayiye eteetwe, doonzo Ik'o b́ nih Dawit naashi jooro imetuwe.
The child will be great and will be called ‘Son of the Most High,’ and the Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David,
and he will reign over the descendants of Jacob for ever; And to his kingdom there will be no end.” (aiōn g165)
34 Mariyam melakiyosh «Taaho baarna'a s'eenu taanere, bere, hank'ó keewan aak'oneya woto b́faliti?» bi eti.
“How can this be?” Mary asked the angel. “For I have no husband.”
35 Melakiyonúwere hank'o ett bíaany, «S'ayin shayiro ni ats weetuwe, jamoniyere damb bogts Ik'o angonwere neen gúúpetuwe, mansh niyatse shuwet na'o S'ayno wotitwe, Ik'o naayiye eteetwe.
“The Holy Spirit will descend on you,” answered the angel, “and the Power of the Most High will overshadow you; and therefore the child will be called ‘holy,’ and ‘Son of God.’
36 Njaguu Elsabet dab mahani eteere beyat ja'at and b gaweriyakon nungush na'o maac' dek'raniye, b maac'ihakon and shirtl shasho bodrane.
And Elizabeth, your cousin, is herself also expecting a son in her old age; and it is now the sixth month with her, though she is called barren;
37 Ik'osh maawet keewo aaliye.»
for no promise from God will fail to be fulfilled.”
38 Maniyakon Mariyam, «Hamb! Taa doonzo gonú taane, taash niettsok'o wotowe» bieti. Manoor melakiyo biyoke k'az bí ami.
“I am the servant of the Lord,” exclaimed Mary. “Let it be with me as you have said.” Then the angel left her.
39 Manoor Mariyam gur báár datso Yihud datsomantse fa'a kitu maants kááron tuwat bi ami.
Soon after this Mary set out, and made her way quickly into the hill-country, to a town in Judah;
40 Zekariyas mootso kindat Elsabetsh jamo b imi.
and there she went into Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth.
41 Elsabet Mariyam bin jamo bi aator b k'aaro bshishtsok'oon b maac'itsi na'o t'oolo gedb́k'ri. Elsabetwere S'ayn shayiron s'eengutsat
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child moved within her, and Elizabeth herself was filled with the Holy Spirit,
42 B k'aaro eensh dek'at hank'o bi et, «Nee máátswotsitse derek neene, niyatse shuweetwonwe deereke.
and cried aloud, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is your unborn child!
43 Tdoonz ind taan s'iilo b waan taash aak'o mangi eene,
But how have I this honor, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 N jamo t shishtsok'on manoor t maac'otse fa'a na'o gene'on t'oolere.
For, as soon as your greeting reached my ears, the child moved within me with delight!
45 Doonzoke bish keewets aap'o b́s'eenetwotse nee amantsu aak'o deerek neene!»
Happy indeed is she who believed that the promise which she received from the Lord would be fulfilled.”
46 Mariyam hank'owa bi et «T kashu t doonzi úditwanee,
And Mary said: “My soul exalts the Lord,

Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months, and then returned to her home.

When Elizabeth’s time came, she gave birth to a son;
58 B giyuwotsnat b jag jamwotswere doonzo bish mhetiyo b́ woshtso shisht binton bo geneúwi.
and her neighbors and relatives, hearing of the great goodness of the Lord to her, came to share her joy.

A week later they met to circumcise the child, and were about to call him Zechariah after his father,
60 Indunmó «Mank'o woteratse, b́ shútso Yohansiye» bi eti.
when his mother spoke up, “No, he is to be called John.”
61 Bowere bish «N jagotse shútsann s'eegetso konwor aalneya?» bo eti.
“You have no relation of that name!” they exclaimed;
62 Maniye okoon nihosh, «N naayi koni err s'egetwok'owe ngeyi?» ett kolon bo aati.
and they made signs to the child’s father, to find out what he wished the child to be called.

Asking for a writing tablet, he wrote the words – ‘His name is John.’ Everyone was surprised
64 Manoor Zekariyas albero bishwtsat bí eree noonkeewo b́fali, Ik'o údo dek'b́tuwi.
and immediately Zechariah recovered his voice and the use of his tongue, and began to bless God.

All their neighbors were awe-struck at this, and throughout the hill-country of Judea the whole story was much talked about.

Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and, speaking under inspiration, said:

The child grew and became strong in spirit, and he lived in the wilds until the time came for his appearance before Israel.
