Luka 1
1 Aicae salakah kaom tangtang hmuen kawng thuihaih maeto pacoeng maeto kamtomh poe ah suek hanah paroeai ca tarik kaminawk oh o boeh,
For as much as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
2 nihcae loe tangsuek na hoi hnukung ah oh o, tamthanglok toksah kaminawk mah, aicae khae thuih ih lok baktih toengah;
Even as they delivered them to us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
3 kahoih koek Theophila, tangsuek na hoi kaom hmuennawk to kakoep ah thaikop boih moe, hmuen kaom maeto pacoeng maeto kamtomh poe ah, nangcae khaeah tarik nahaeloe hoi tih, tiah poekhaih ka tawnh,
It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus,
4 to tiah ni ang patuk o ih lok to kahoihah na panoek o tih.
That you might know the certainty of those things, wherein you have been instructed.
5 Judea siangpahrang, Herod dung ah, Zakaria, tiah ahmin kaom qaima maeto oh, anih loe Abijah ih acaeng ah oh moe, a zu Elizabeth loe Aaron ih acaeng ah oh.
THERE was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
6 Nihnik loe Sithaw hmaa ah katoeng kami ah oh hoi moe, Angraeng mah paek ih kaalok hoi sak han koi toknawk boih coek koi kaom ai ah a sak hoi.
And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7 Elizabeth loe caa kak pongah nawkta tawn hoi ai, nihnik loe saning coeh hoi parai boeh.
And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
8 Anih mah angmah ih kaminawk hoi Sithaw hmaa ah qaima toksakhaih tue phak naah,
And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,
9 qaimanawk mah sakzong ih atawk baktih toengah, Angraeng tempul thungah akun moe, hmuihoih thlaekhaih loe anih ih tok ah oh.
According to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
10 Hmuihoih thlaek nathuem ah, paroeai kaminawk loe tasa bangah lawkthuih o.
And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
11 To naah anih khaeah Angraeng ih van kami maeto amtueng moe, hmuihoih thlaekhaih hmaicam bantang bangah angdoet pae.
And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Zakaria mah anih to hnuk naah zit moe, tasoehhaih hoiah oh.
And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell on him.
13 Toe van kami mah anih khaeah, Zakaria, zii hmah: na lawkthuihaih Sithaw mah thaih boeh; na zu Elizabeth mah capa maeto na sah pae tih, anih ih ahmin to Johan, tiah sak han oh.
But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias: for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elisabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
14 Anghoehaih hoi oephaih to na tawn tih; anih tapen pongah paroeai kaminawk loe anghoe o tih.
And you shall have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15 Anih loe Angraeng mikhnuk ah kalen ah om ueloe, misurtui hoi paqui thaih koi hmuen roe nae mak ai; anih loe amno zok thung hoi kamtong Kacai Muithla hoiah koi tih.
For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.
16 Anih mah paroeai Israel kaminawk to angmacae ih Angraeng khaeah angqoisak tih.
And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
17 Anih mah ampanawk ih palungthin to a caanawk khaeah angqoisak tih, lok tahngai ai kaminawk to katoeng kaminawk ih palunghahaih loklam bangah angqoisak ueloe, Angraeng hanah kaminawk omsak coek tih, anih loe Elijah ih palungthin, thacakhaih hoiah Angraeng hmaa ah caeh tih, tiah a naa.
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
18 Zakaria mah van kami khaeah, Hae hmuen hae kawbangmaw ka panoek thai tih? Kai loe mitong boeh moe, ka zu doeh mitong boeh, tiah a naa.
And Zacharias said to the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
19 To naah van kami mah anih khaeah, Kai loe Sithaw hmaa ah angdoe, Gabriel ah ka oh; lok kang thuih moe, kahoih hae anghoehaih tamthangnawk patuek han ih ni nang khaeah ang patoeh.
And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak to you, and to show you these glad tidings.
20 Khenah, atue phak naah akoep han koi kang thuih ih loknawk to na tang ai pongah, hae hmuennawk ohhaih ni pha ai karoek to, lok na aa tih, tiah a naa.
And, behold, you shall be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because you believe not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
21 Kaminawk mah Zakariah to zing o, anih loe tempul thungah akra parai boeh pongah dawnrai o.
And the people waited for Zacharias, and marveled that he tarried so long in the temple.
22 Anih tasa bang tacawt naah loe, kaminawk khaeah lokthui thai ai boeh: anih loe lok apae ai, kaminawk khaeah ban hoiah ni angmathaih a sak pae: to pongah kaminawk mah anih loe tempul thungah hnuksakhaih a hnuk kalang mue, tiah poek o.
And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned to them, and remained speechless.
23 Anih loe a toksakhaih boeng pacoengah, angmah im ah amlaem.
And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
24 To ninawk boeng pacoengah a zu Elizabeth to zokpom; anih loe khrah pangato thung imthung ah anghawk,
And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
25 anih mah ang khet nathuem ah, kaminawk salakah kai kasae thuihaih to takhoe ving hanah, Angraeng mah kai hanah hae hmuen hae sak boeh, tiah a thuih.
Thus has the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
26 Elizabeth zokpomhaih khrah tarukto phak naah, Sithaw mah van kami Gabriel to Kalili prae, Nazareth vangpui ah kaom,
And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 David imthung takoh Joseph, tiah ahmin kaom kami mah hamh ih tangla cuem khaeah patoeh; tangla kacuem ih ahmin loe Meri.
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
28 Anih khaeah van kami to caeh moe, Kasang koek tahamhoih hnu kami, anghoe ah! Sithaw loe nang hoi nawnto oh: nang loe nongpatanawk thungah tahamhoih kami ah na oh, tiah a naa.
And the angel came in to her, and said, Hail, you that are highly favored, the Lord is with you: blessed are you among women.
29 Meri mah anih to hnuk naah, dawnrai, a palung thung hoiah kawbaktih kami tapringhaih lok maw vai, tiah poek.
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30 Toe van kami mah anih khaeah, Meri, Zii hmah: nang loe Sithaw mah palung tong ih kami ah na oh boeh.
And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary: for you have found favor with God.
31 Khenah, zok na pomh ueloe, caa nongpa maeto na sah tih, anih ih ahmin loe JESU, tiah sak han oh.
And, behold, you shall conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name JESUS.
32 Anih loe paroeai len tih, Sang koek Capa, tiah kawk o tih: Angraeng Sithaw mah Ampa David ih angraeng tangkhang to anih khaeah paek tih:
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give to him the throne of his father David:
33 Anih mah Jakob imthung to dungzan ah uk tih; a prae loe boenghaih om mak ai, tiah a naa. (aiōn g165)
And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
34 To naah Meri mah van kami khaeah, Hae hmuen loe kawbangmaw angcoeng thai tih? Nongpa hoi ka om ai bae, tiah a naa.
Then said Mary to the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35 Van kami mah anih khaeah, Kacai Muithla na nuiah om tih, Kasang koek sakthaihaih tha mah na oh haih tih: to pongah nang khaeah tapen han koi Ciimcai Capa loe Sithaw Capa, tiah kawk tih.
And the angel answered and said to her, The Holy Ghost shall come on you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God.
36 Khenah, nam nawkamya ah kaom Elizabeth doeh mitong pacoengah caa nongpa maeto pomh boeh: anih loe caa kak, toe vaihi zokpomhaih khrah tarukto oh boeh.
And, behold, your cousin Elisabeth, she has also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
37 Sithaw han angcoeng thai ai hmuen tidoeh om ai, tiah a naa.
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
38 To naah Meri mah, Khenah, kai loe Angraeng ih toksah nongpata ah ni ka oh; na thuih ih lok baktih toengah ka nuiah om nasoe, tiah a naa. To pacoengah van kami mah anih to caehtaak.
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word. And the angel departed from her.
39 Meri loe angthawk moe, Judea prae mae nuiah kaom vangpui maeto ah karangah caeh;
And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
40 Zakariah ih imthung ah akun moe, Elizabeth to lok tapring.
And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
41 Meri mah tapring ih lok to Elizabeth mah thaih naah, a zok thung ih nawkta to angtawt; to naah Elizabeth loe Kacai Muithla hoiah koi:
And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
42 anih mah, Nang loe nongpatanawk thungah tahamhoih kami ah na oh, na zok thung ih athaih doeh tahamhoih.
And she spoke out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
43 Tipongah maw ka Angraeng ih amno ah ohhaih to kai khaeah ang paek?
And what is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Khenah, nang tapringhaih lok to ka thaih naah, anghoe loiah ka zok thung ih nawkta to amloep tahang.
For, see, as soon as the voice of your salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
45 Angraeng khae hoi thuih ih loknawk loe anih khaeah akoep tih, tiah tanghaih tawn nongpata loe tahamhoih, tiah tha hoiah a hangh.
And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
46 Meri mah, Ka hinghaih pakhra mah Angraeng to pakoeh moe,
And Mary said, My soul does magnify the Lord,
47 pahlongkung Sithaw khaeah palung anghoehaih ka tawnh.
And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
48 Poek kahnaem a tamna nongpata to anih mah khet boeh: khenah, vaihi hoi kamtong kaminawk boih mah tahamhoih kami, tiah na kawk o tih.
For he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from now on all generations shall call me blessed.
49 Thacak kami mah kai hanah kalen parai hmuennawk to ang sak pae boeh; anih ih ahmin loe ciimcai.
For he that is mighty has done to me great things; and holy is his name.
50 Anih palungnathaih loe anih zithaih tawn kaminawk nuiah adung maeto pacoeng maeto khoek to oh.
And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
51 Anih mah a ban thacakhaih to amtuengsak moe, poeksang kaminawk to anghaehsak phaeng.
He has showed strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 Thacak kaminawk to angmacae ih angraeng tangkhang nui hoiah pakhrak tathuk moe, poek pahnaem kaminawk to tapom tahang.
He has put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
53 Zok amthlam kaminawk to kahoih hmuennawk hoiah zok amhahsak moe, angraengnawk to bangkrai ah patoeh ving.
He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he has sent empty away.
54 A palungnathaih to pahnet ai pongah a tamna Israel to abomh;
He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
55 aicae ampanawk khaeah a thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Abraham hoi a caanawk khaeah doeh boeng ai ah a thuih, tiah thuih. (aiōn g165)
As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. (aiōn g165)
56 Meri loe Elizabeth hoi khrah thumto oh pacoengah, angmah im ah amlaem.
And Mary stayed with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
57 Elizabeth nawkta tapenhaih tue phak naah loe, anih mah caa nongpa maeto sak.
Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
58 Kawkruk maw Angraeng mah a palungnathaih anih nuiah amtuengsak, tiah imtaeng kaminawk hoi angmah ih nawkamyanawk mah thaih o naah, anih to anghoe o haih.
And her neighbors and her cousins heard how the Lord had showed great mercy on her; and they rejoiced with her.
59 Ni tazetto naah loe tangzat hin aah hanah nawkta to a caeh o haih; nihcae mah anih ih ahmin loe ampa ih ahmin palawk hanah Zakariah, tiah sak han oh, tiah a thuih o.
And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
60 Amno mah, to tih na ai ni; anih ih ahmin loe Johan, tiah sak han oh, tiah a naa.
And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
61 Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Na caengnawk thungah hae baktih ahmin hae om ai, tiah a naa o.
And they said to her, There is none of your kindred that is called by this name.
62 To pongah nihcae mah nawkta ih ahmin kawbangmaw sak han, tiah ampa khaeah ban hoi angmathaih a sak pae moe, a dueng o.
And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
63 To naah anih mah ca trikhaih thlung kangphaek to hnik moe, Anih ih ahmin loe Johan, tiah tarik: to naah nihcae dawnrai o boih.
And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marveled all.
64 Akra ai ah anih ih pakha to am-ongh pae moe, palai doeh name pae roep, anih loe lok apaeh moe, Sithaw to pakoeh.
And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, and praised God.
65 To tiah hmuen to oh pacoengah nihcae taengah kaom kaminawk boih nuiah zithaih to phak: hae tiah kaom hmuen kawng to Judea prae mae nuiah kaom kaminawk boih mah thuih o.
And fear came on all that dwelled round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.
66 To lok thaih kaminawk boih mah, Angraeng ih ban anih nuiah oh pongah, hae nawkta loe kawbaktih nawkta ah maw om tih vai? tiah palung thung hoiah a poek o.
And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 Ampa Zakariah loe Kacai Muithla hoiah koi moe,
And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
68 Israel kaminawk ih Sithaw loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe; anih loe angmah ih kaminawk khaeah paqaih moe, angmah ih kaminawk to akrang boeh,
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people,
69 a tamna David imthung ah aicae hanah pahlonghaih takii maeto tacawtsak boeh;
And has raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
70 long amtong tangsuek na hoiah angmah ih kaciim tahmaanawk ih pakha hoi thuih ih lok baktih toengah: (aiōn g165)
As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: (aiōn g165)
71 aicae loe aimacae misa hoi aicae hnuma kaminawk boih ih ban thung hoiah a loih o tih;
That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
72 aicae ampanawk khaeah lokkam ih palungnathaih to amtuengsak moe, angmah ih kaciim lokmaihaih to pahnet han ai ah,
To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;

The oath which he swore to our father Abraham,
74 zithaih tawn ai ah a hing o na thung, ciimcaihaih hoi toenghaih hoiah anih ih tok to a sak o hanah, aimacae misa ban thung hoiah aicae to na loisak tih.
That he would grant to us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
76 Nawkta, nang loe, Kasang koek ih tahmaa ah na oh, tiah kawk o tih: nang loe Anih ih loklam paroep hanah Angraeng hmaa ah na caeh tih;
And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Highest: for you shall go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
77 nihcae zaehaihnawk tahmenhaih rang hoiah Anih ih kaminawk khaeah pahlonghaih kawng panoeksak hanah,
To give knowledge of salvation to his people by the remission of their sins,
78 van ranui ih ni bae baktih toengah, aicae Sithaw palungnathaih loe aicae khaeah ni baktiah bae tih boeh;
Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high has visited us,
79 khoving thung hoi duekhaih tahlip tlim ah anghnu kaminawk to aanghaih paek moe, misa angdaehhaih loklam ah aicae khok takansakhaih ni loe angzoh boeh, tiah lok taphong.
To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
80 Nawkta loe poekhaih palungthin thacakhaih hoiah qoeng tahang, anih loe Israel kaminawk khaeah amtueng ai karoek to praezaek ah khosak.
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing to Israel.
