Luk 1
1 Ka talue poung e Theophilus, maimouh dawk kamnuek tangcoung e a konglamnaw hah,
Seeing that many have taken it in hand to draw up an account of those matters which have been fully established 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.
just as they reported them to us, who were from beginning eye- witnesses and ministers of the word,
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 accurately, from the very beginning, to write them to you in order, most excellent Theophilus,
4 hote konglamnaw teh nang koe pou hruek hane kawi lah ao telah ka pouk.
so that you may know the certainty of the story which you have been taught by the word of mouth.
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,
In the reign of Herod, King of Judea, there was a certain priest, named Zachariah, belonging to the class of Abijah. He had a wife named Elizabeth,
6 ahnimouh roi teh kâpoelawknaw pueng a tarawi roi, tounhoehe lah ao teh, Cathut hmalah tamikalan lah ao roi.
who was a descendant of Aaron. They were both righteous in the sight of the Lord, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the law, blameless.
7 Elizabeth teh carôe dawkvah ahnimouh roi teh ca tawn roi hoeh. A kum haiyah a cue poung roi toe.
Now they had no child, for Elizabeth was barren, and both were far 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 Zachariah was acting as priest before God in the due course of his class, it fell to his lot, according to the custom of priesthood,
9 vaihmanaw e singyoe patetlah cungpam a khoe. Cathut e bawkim thung a kâen teh hmuitui hmai sawinae a sak.
to enter into the sanctuary of the Lord and to burn incense.
10 Hottelah Cathut koe a sak lahun navah taminaw pueng teh alawilah a ratoum awh.
And the whole multitude of the people were without, praying at the hour of incense.
11 Hatnavah Cathut e kalvantami teh Zekhariah hmalah a kamnue teh hmuitui hmaisawi thuengnae aranglah a kangdue.
Then there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Zekhariah ni a hmu navah a kalue teh a taki.
And as he saw him Zachariah was troubled, 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, Zachariah, because your petition has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.
14 Nang teh na konawm vaiteh na lunghawi han, hote ca tongpa na khe kecu dawk taminaw pueng hai a konawm awh han.
"And he shall be to you a joy and an exultation, and many shall rejoice over 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 shall be great in the sight of the Lord, "He shall drink neither wine nor strong drink, "He shall be filled with the Holy Spirit from the hour of his birth,
16 Ahni ni Isarel catounnaw moikapap Cathut koe lah a kamlang sak han.
"And shall win many of the sons 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 shall go before Him in the wisdom and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, and so to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him."
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.
"How shall I be sure of this?" said Zachariah to the Angel. "For I am an old man and my wife is 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.
"I am Gabriel," answered the angel, "who stand in the presence of God; and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring 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.
"And now you shall be silent and unable to speak until the day the day when this has taken place; because you did not believe my words - Words which will be fulfilled at their appointed time."
21 Taminaw ni Zekhariah teh ngaihawi laihoi a ring awh teh bangkongmaw bawkim thung atu sittouh a o vaw titeh a kângairukhai awh.
Meanwhile the people were waiting for Zachariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the sanctuary.
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
And when he came out he could not speak to them, and then they knew that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them and remained dumb.
23 Vaihma thaw a tawk e atueng abaw hnukkhu Zekhariah teh im lah a ban.
As soon as his term of priestly service was ended he went home;
24 Hathnukkhu hoi a yu Elizabeth teh camo a neng dawkvah thapa yung panga touh imthungkhu a kamung.
and after those 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.
"This has the Lord done for me. He has now deigned to take the 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.
Six months later the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee, called 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 maiden betrothed to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. Her 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.
The angel went in and said to her. "Joy to you, highly favored one! "The Lord is with you."
29 Meri ni hote lawk a thai navah a lungtâsue teh hote lawk teh bangpatet e lawk maw ati teh a kâpouk.
Mary was greatly agitated at his word, and was revolving in her mind what this salutation could mean.
30 Kalvantami ni hai Meri na lungpuen hanh. Nang teh Cathut koe minhmai kahawi na hmu toe.
when the angel said to her. "Fear not Mary, for you have found grace with God.
31 Nang teh camo na neng vaiteh ca tongpa na khe han, a min teh Jisuh telah na phung han.
"And behold, you shall conceive in your womb and bear a son; and you shall call his name 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 shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High. "And the Lord God will give him the throne of his forefather David,
33 Ahni ni Jakop catounnaw hah pout laipalah a uk han. Ahnie uknaeram teh poutnae awm mahoeh telah atipouh. (aiōn g165)
"and he shall reign over the House of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end." (aiōn g165)
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.
And Mary said to the angel. "How can this be? For I have no husband?"
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 Holy Spirit shall come upon you," said the angel, "and the power of the most High shall overshadow you, and therefore the holy offspring which is born, shall 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.
"And behold your kinswoman, Elizabeth, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this was the sixth month with her that was called barren.
37 Cathut hanelah ka coung thai hoeh e hno buet touh hai awm hoeh telah bout a dei pouh.
"For no word of God shall be void of power."
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.
Then Mary said. "Behold I am Lord’s slave. Let it be to me as you have said." Then the angel departed from her.
39 Hathnukkhu Meri ni, Judah ram mon dawk kaawm e kho buet touh dawk karanglah a cei hnukkhu,
Soon after this Mary set out and hastened unto the hill-country to a town in Judah;
40 Zekhariah im dawk a kâen teh Elizabeth a pato.
and there she came into the house of Zachariah, 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,
And when Elizabeth heard her salutation, the babe leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth herself 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.
and called out with a loud cry. "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is your unborn child!
43 Ka Bawipa e a manu ni kai koe a pha navah yawhawinae bangkongmaw kai ni ka coe.
"But why is this honor done me, that the mother of my Lord should come 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 sound of your salutation reached my ears, the babe leaped with joy within my womb.
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.
"And blessed is she who believed that the Lord’s words spoken to her would be fulfilled."
46 Meri nihai, ka lungthin ni Cathut a pholen teh,
And Mary said. "My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 ka muitha ni ka rungngangkung Cathut dawk a lunghawi.
"My spirit exults in the God, who is my Saviour,
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.
"For he has regarded the humiliation of his slave, And from this hour all ages will count me blessed.
49 Athaonae hoi kakawi e Cathut ni hno kalen kai hanlah na sak pouh toe. A min teh thoung raw naseh.
"For he who is mighty has done great things for me; And holy is his name.
50 Cathut ka taket e taminaw teh Bawipa e pahrennae ahnimouh dawk pou a kangning.
"His mercy is unto generations and generations on those who reverence him.
51 A kut hoi a hnotithainae teh a kamnue sak toe. Kâoupkâpawi e taminaw teh koung kathek kayak awh toe.
"He has showed strength with his arm. "He has scattered proud in the imagination of their hearts;

"he has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted those of low degree.
53 A von kahlamnaw ka boum ca lah a paca vaiteh, katangrengnaw a kuthrawng lah a ban sak toe.
"The hungry he has filled with good things, But the rich he has sent empty away.
54 Maimae mintoenaw ni a dei e patetlah,
"He has helped Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,

"As he spoke to our forefathers, to Abraham and his offspring forever." (aiōn g165)
56 Meri teh Elizabeth koe thapa yung thum touh ao hnukkhu a ma im bout a ban.
So Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and returned home.
57 Elizabeth teh a khenae hnin thapa a kuep navah ca tongpa teh a khe.
Now when the time of Elizabeth’s delivery was come, she gave birth to a son;
58 Cathut ni ka taluepoung e pahrennae Elizabeth koe a kamnue sak e hah imteng e a huikonaw ni a thai navah, ahni hoi cungtalah a konawm awh.
and her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her,

and came on the eighth day to circumcise the child. They were about to call him "Zachariah," after his father,
60 A manu ni telah na phung mahoeh, Jawhan telah na phung han atipouh.
when his mother said, "No, he is to be called John."
61 Ahnimouh ni hai, nangmae miphun dawk telah min phung e tami buet touh hai awmhoeh rah atipouh awh.
Said they, "You have no relatives of that name!"
62 Hathnukkhu, a na pa ni bangtelamaw phung han a ngai telah a pacei awh.
Then they asked his father by signs what he wished to call the child.
63 A na pa ni hai calung a hei teh Jawhan telah a min a thut navah, taminaw pueng ni kângai a ru awh.
So he asked for a writing tablet and wrote down, "His name is John."
64 Telah a thut tahma vah Zekhariah teh lawk bout a dei thai teh Cathut a pholen.
Every one was surprised, and at once his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, 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.
And there came a great fear upon all in the neighborhood; and throughout the hill country of Judea all these sayings were much talked about.

All the story laid it up in their hearts, saying "What, then, will this child be?" For the Lord’s hands was with him.

And his father, Zachariah, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying.

And the child grew, and became strong in the Spirit, and remained in the desert till the day of his showing to Israel.
