Luk 1
1 Ka talue poung e Theophilus, maimouh dawk kamnuek tangcoung e a konglamnaw hah,
Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
2 apuengcue hoi kahmawt ni teh kapanuekkhainaw hoi lawk dawk thaw katawknaw ni maimouh koe a dei tangcoung e patetlah tami moikapap ni ca lahoi thut hanelah a panki awh.
even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
3 Kai ni hai apuengcue hoi ka kamtu e a konglamnaw pueng teh atang katang tie na panue thai nahanelah,
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 hote konglamnaw teh nang koe pou hruek hane kawi lah ao telah ka pouk.
that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
5 Judah ram ka uk e Herod Siangpahrang kut rahim vah Abijah tie vaihma miphun dawk hoi e vaihma Zekhariah teh ao. Ahnie a yu teh Aron e catoun, a min teh Elizabeth,
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the priestly division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
6 ahnimouh roi teh kâpoelawknaw pueng a tarawi roi, tounhoehe lah ao teh, Cathut hmalah tamikalan lah ao roi.
They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
7 Elizabeth teh carôe dawkvah ahnimouh roi teh ca tawn roi hoeh. A kum haiyah a cue poung roi toe.
But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
8 Hatnavah, Zekhariah teh amae a huinaw hoi cungtalah atueng a pha toung dawkvah, Cathut hmalah vaihma thaw a tawk lahun nah,
Now while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his division
9 vaihmanaw e singyoe patetlah cungpam a khoe. Cathut e bawkim thung a kâen teh hmuitui hmai sawinae a sak.
according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10 Hottelah Cathut koe a sak lahun navah taminaw pueng teh alawilah a ratoum awh.
The whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
11 Hatnavah Cathut e kalvantami teh Zekhariah hmalah a kamnue teh hmuitui hmaisawi thuengnae aranglah a kangdue.
An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Zekhariah ni a hmu navah a kalue teh a taki.
Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
13 Kalvantami ni Zekhariah taket hanh, nange ratoumnae teh Cathut ni a thai toe. Na yu Elizabeth teh ca tongpa a khe han, a min teh Jawhan telah na phung han.
But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, because your request has been heard. Your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
14 Nang teh na konawm vaiteh na lunghawi han, hote ca tongpa na khe kecu dawk taminaw pueng hai a konawm awh han.
You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.
15 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni teh Cathut hmalah ka talue e tami lah ao han. Misurtui hoi parui kawinaw pueng net mahoeh. A manu e von thung ao nahoi Kathoung Muitha hoi akawi han.
For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.
16 Ahni ni Isarel catounnaw moikapap Cathut koe lah a kamlang sak han.
He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.
17 Ahni teh Cathut ni a tha e laicei lah ao vaiteh Profet Elijah patetlah muitha hnotithainae hoi kakawi e tami lah ao han. A napanaw hoi a capanaw kâpo sak vaiteh lawk ka ngai hoeh e taminaw hah tami kalannaw e lungangnae lam koe lah bout a hrawi han. Cathut e taminaw teh Bawipa hanelah coungkacoe lah ao thai nahan kârakueng awh telah a dei.
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 prepare a people prepared for the Lord.”
18 Zekhariah ni kalvantami koevah hote hno a coung thai han doeh telah bangtelah hoi maw ka panue thai han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai teh, ka matawng toe, ka yu hai a matawng toe telah atipouh.
Zacharias 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 Kalvantami ni kai teh Gabriel doeh, hete lunghawinae kamthang nang koe dei hanelah, na ka patoun e Cathut hmalah ka kangdout e doeh.
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 Nang teh kaie lawk na tang hoeh dawkvah hete hno a kuep hoehnahlan totouh lawk dei thai laipalah, na lawk a a han. Kaie ka lawk teh atueng a pha toteh a kuep han telah a dei pouh.
Behold, 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 Taminaw ni Zekhariah teh ngaihawi laihoi a ring awh teh bangkongmaw bawkim thung atu sittouh a o vaw titeh a kângairukhai awh.
The people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marveled that he delayed in the temple.
22 Ahni teh bawkim thung hoi a tâco navah lawk a dei thai hoeh dawkvah, kamnuenae a hmu telah a panue awh. Zekhariah teh a lawk a a dawkvah a kut khok hoi ahnimanaw koe a yavai pouh
When he came out, he could not speak to them. They perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.
23 Vaihma thaw a tawk e atueng abaw hnukkhu Zekhariah teh im lah a ban.
When the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
24 Hathnukkhu hoi a yu Elizabeth teh camo a neng dawkvah thapa yung panga touh imthungkhu a kamung.
After these days Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,
25 Cathut ni taminaw e hmalah kaie yeiraiponae pueng na la pouh toe a ti.
“Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my reproach among men.”
26 Thapa yung taruk navah Cathut ni kalvantami Gabriel koe, Galilee ram Nazareth kho dawk kaawm e tangla koe a patoun.
Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
27 Hote tangla teh Devit miphun a min Joseph ka kâphung e tami hoi kâhâ tangcoung e lah ao. A min teh Meri doeh.
to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of David’s house. The virgin’s name was Mary.
28 Kalvantami ni Meri koe a tho teh na konawm haw, yawhawinae ka coe e napui nang teh Cathut ni na okhai telah atipouh.
Having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, you highly favored one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!”
29 Meri ni hote lawk a thai navah a lungtâsue teh hote lawk teh bangpatet e lawk maw ati teh a kâpouk.
But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be.
30 Kalvantami ni hai Meri na lungpuen hanh. Nang teh Cathut koe minhmai kahawi na hmu toe.
The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 Nang teh camo na neng vaiteh ca tongpa na khe han, a min teh Jisuh telah na phung han.
Behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and shall name him ‘Jesus.’
32 Hote capa teh ka lentoe poung e tami lah ao vaiteh Lathueng Poung e Capa telah kaw lah ao han. Cathut ni ahni teh a na pa Devit e bawitungkhung a poe han.
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 Ahni ni Jakop catounnaw hah pout laipalah a uk han. Ahnie uknaeram teh poutnae awm mahoeh telah atipouh. (aiōn g165)
and he will reign over the house of Jacob for the ages (aiōn g165). There will be no end to his Kingdom."
34 Meri ni kai teh tongpa hoi kâ panuenae awmhoeh rah, hete hno heh kai koe bangtelamaw a coung thai han telah kalvantami hah a pacei.
Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?”
35 Kalvantami ni Kathoung Muitha nang dawk a pha toteh Lathueng Poung e bahu nang dawk ao han. Hatdawkvah khe lah kaawm e kathounge camo hah Cathut capa telah kaw lah ao han.
The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born from you will be called the Son of God.
36 Hothloilah cakaroe telah kaw e nange na hui Elizabeth teh camo a nengnae thapa yung taruk touh a pha toe.
Behold, Elizabeth your relative also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
37 Cathut hanelah ka coung thai hoeh e hno buet touh hai awm hoeh telah bout a dei pouh.
For nothing spoken by God is impossible.”
38 Meri ni kai teh Cathut e a sannu doeh, Bawipa e lawk patetlah kai dawk kuep lawiseh telah a dei pouh hnukkhu kalvantami ni a ceitakhai.
Mary said, “Behold, the servant of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.
39 Hathnukkhu Meri ni, Judah ram mon dawk kaawm e kho buet touh dawk karanglah a cei hnukkhu,
Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,
40 Zekhariah im dawk a kâen teh Elizabeth a pato.
and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.
41 Meri ni a patonae lawk Elizabeth ni a thai navah a von thung e camo teh a kâroe. Elizabeth teh Kathoung Muitha hoi akawi teh,
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
42 nang teh napuinaw pueng hlak yawkahawipoung e lah na o. Nange na von thung kaawm e camo hai a yawkahawi e tami doeh.
She called out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
43 Ka Bawipa e a manu ni kai koe a pha navah yawhawinae bangkongmaw kai ni ka coe.
Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Nange na lawk kai ni ka thai navah kaie ka von thung e camo teh a lunghawi teh a coukdouk.
For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy!
45 Bawipa ni a dei e lawk a kuep mingming han doeh telah ka yuem e napui teh a yawkahawi e doeh telah a hram laihoi a dei.
Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!”

Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord.
47 ka muitha ni ka rungngangkung Cathut dawk a lunghawi.
My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,
48 Bangkongtetpawiteh, amamae a sannu a kârahnoumnae na hmu pouh toe. Atu hoi hmalah ka tho hane a tami pueng ni a yawkahawi e tami telah na dei awh han.

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

On the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
60 A manu ni telah na phung mahoeh, Jawhan telah na phung han atipouh.
His mother answered, “Not so; but he will be called John.”
61 Ahnimouh ni hai, nangmae miphun dawk telah min phung e tami buet touh hai awmhoeh rah atipouh awh.
They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”

He asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, “His name is John.” They all marveled.

His mouth was opened immediately and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.
65 Imteng kaawmnaw pueng ni a taki awh teh, hete a konglamnaw pueng teh Judah ram pueng koe koung a kamthang.
Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.

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