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,
Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled 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 those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
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 traced the course of all things accurately from the 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 concerning the things in which you were 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 Judea, a certain cohen named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisheva.
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.
They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
7 Elizabeth loe caa kak pongah nawkta tawn hoi ai, nihnik loe saning coeh hoi parai boeh.
But they had no child, because Elisheva was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
8 Anih mah angmah ih kaminawk hoi Sithaw hmaa ah qaima toksakhaih tue phak naah,
Now it happened, while he was performing the office of cohen before God in the order of his division,
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 office of cohen, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10 Hmuihoih thlaek nathuem ah, paroeai kaminawk loe tasa bangah lawkthuih o.
And the whole crowd of people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
11 To naah anih khaeah Angraeng ih van kami maeto amtueng moe, hmuihoih thlaekhaih hmaicam bantang bangah angdoet pae.
An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Zakaria mah anih to hnuk naah zit moe, tasoehhaih hoiah oh.
Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon 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, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elisheva, will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.
14 Anghoehaih hoi oephaih to na tawn tih; anih tapen pongah paroeai kaminawk loe anghoe o tih.
You will have joy and gladness; and many will 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 will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he must never drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Ruach ha-Kodesh, even from his mother's womb.
16 Anih mah paroeai Israel kaminawk to angmacae ih Angraeng khaeah angqoisak tih.
He will turn many of the children of Israel 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.
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 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.
Zechariah said to the angel, "How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced 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.
The angel answered him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news.
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.
Look, you will be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things will happen, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time."
21 Kaminawk mah Zakariah to zing o, anih loe tempul thungah akra parai boeh pongah dawnrai o.
The people were waiting for Zechariah, and they were wondering why he was delayed 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.
When he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.
23 Anih loe a toksakhaih boeng pacoengah, angmah im ah amlaem.
It happened, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
24 To ninawk boeng pacoengah a zu Elizabeth to zokpom; anih loe khrah pangato thung imthung ah anghawk,
After these days Elisheva, his wife, conceived, and she 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 done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my disgrace among people."
26 Elizabeth zokpomhaih khrah tarukto phak naah, Sithaw mah van kami Gabriel to Kalili prae, Nazareth vangpui ah kaom,
Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galil, named Natzeret,
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 pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Miriam.
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.
Having come in, the angel said to her, "Greetings, favored one. The Lord is with you."
29 Meri mah anih to hnuk naah, dawnrai, a palung thung hoiah kawbaktih kami tapringhaih lok maw vai, tiah poek.
But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of greeting this might be.
30 Toe van kami mah anih khaeah, Meri, Zii hmah: nang loe Sithaw mah palung tong ih kami ah na oh boeh.
The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Miriam, 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 look, you will conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and will call his name 'Yeshua.'
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 will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give 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 will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom." (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.
Miriam said to the angel, "How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?"
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.
The angel answered her, "The Ruach ha-Kodesh will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born will 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 look, Elisheva, your relative, also has 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 will 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 Miriam said, "See, the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word." The angel departed from her.
39 Meri loe angthawk moe, Judea prae mae nuiah kaom vangpui maeto ah karangah caeh;
Miriam arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,
40 Zakariah ih imthung ah akun moe, Elizabeth to lok tapring.
and entered into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elisheva.
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:
It happened, when Elisheva heard Miriam's greeting, that the baby leaped in her womb, and Elisheva was filled with the Ruach ha-Kodesh.
42 anih mah, Nang loe nongpatanawk thungah tahamhoih kami ah na oh, na zok thung ih athaih doeh tahamhoih.
She called 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?
Why am I so favored, 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 look, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby 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.
Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord."
46 Meri mah, Ka hinghaih pakhra mah Angraeng to pakoeh moe,
Miriam said, "My soul magnifies the Lord.
47 pahlongkung Sithaw khaeah palung anghoehaih ka tawnh.
And my spirit rejoices 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 looked at the humble state of his servant girl. For look, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
49 Thacak kami mah kai hanah kalen parai hmuennawk to ang sak pae boeh; anih ih ahmin loe ciimcai.
For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
50 Anih palungnathaih loe anih zithaih tawn kaminawk nuiah adung maeto pacoeng maeto khoek to oh.
His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear him.
51 Anih mah a ban thacakhaih to amtuengsak moe, poeksang kaminawk to anghaehsak phaeng.
He has shown 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 princes from their thrones. And has exalted the lowly.
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. He has sent the rich away empty.
54 A palungnathaih to pahnet ai pongah a tamna Israel to abomh;
He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember 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 his offspring forever." (aiōn g165)
56 Meri loe Elizabeth hoi khrah thumto oh pacoengah, angmah im ah amlaem.
Miriam stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.
57 Elizabeth nawkta tapenhaih tue phak naah loe, anih mah caa nongpa maeto sak.
Now the time that Elisheva should give birth was fulfilled, 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.
Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards 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.
It happened on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zechariah, after the name of the father.
60 Amno mah, to tih na ai ni; anih ih ahmin loe Johan, tiah sak han oh, tiah a naa.
His mother answered, "Not so; but he will be called John."
61 Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Na caengnawk thungah hae baktih ahmin hae om ai, tiah a naa o.
They said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who 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.
They made signs to his father, what 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 tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they were all amazed.
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.
His mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing 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.
Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.
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.
All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, "What then will this child be?" The hand of the Lord was with him.
67 Ampa Zakariah loe Kacai Muithla hoiah koi moe,
His father, Zechariah, was filled with the Ruach ha-Kodesh, 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, the God of Israel, for he has visited and worked redemption for his people;

In holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
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;

The child was growing, and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
