Luke 1
1 Inasmuch as many have taken in hand to arrange in order a narration about the deeds that have been brought to fullness among us,
Vangi vachi vava liki ku vika i nswanelo lye kande lyezo indava zichi zive zuzilizwa mukati ketu,
2 just as they delivered them to us, who became from the beginning eyewitnesses and servants of the word,
uvu vo vulyo mu vava zituheli mi avo kuzwila ku matangizo ivali impanki ni vahikana ve ñusa.
3 it occurred to me also, having followed closely from the beginning all things accurately, to write to thee in order, eminent Theophilus,
Cwale kwangu name ivali kuvoneka kuva hande - kuganisisa hande inzila ye indava yezo zintu kuzwila kuma tangizo - kuñola indava ye nswanelo yako iwe, Theophilus yo sepahala.
4 so that thou might know the certainty of the declarations about which thou were instructed.
Ili ku pangila kuti mwi zive vuniti vwezo zintu zimu va lutwa.
5 It came to pass in the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a certain priest, named Zacharias, from the division of Abijah, and his wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
Muma zuva a Heroda, simwine wa Judeya ku vali kwina mu purisita we zina lya Zakariya, ya vali kuzwa kwi inkauhanyo ya Abija. Mwi hyavwe avali kuzwa kuvana vechi kazana va Arunì, Izina lyakwe ivali nji Elizabeta.
6 And they were both righteous before God, going in all the commandments and righteous things of the Lord blameless.
Vonse vo vele vava shieme ha vusu vwa Ireza, ku kuteka zonse intaezo za Simwine.
7 And there was no child to them because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in their days.
Kono kana vavena mwana kakuli Elizabeta kana vena luzalo, mi hape vonse chi vava supele ahulu he iyi inako.
8 But it came to pass during his service as a priest in the course of his division in the presence of God,
Mi kuvezi kuchita kuti Zakaria avena mukwina kwa Ireza, kwi chilila ni kupanga iyo mintendo yovu purisita yava hewa mwi nswanelo ye inkauhanyo ya kwe.
9 that, according to the custom of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to burn incense after entering into the temple of the Lord.
Kuya ke chizo choku keta kuti njo zuhi mu purisita yese a tende, ava ketwa kwa loto kuti e njile mwi tempele ya Simwine kuti a hise minunkiso.
10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
Chonse chichava cha vantu chiva kwete ku lapela hanze heyo inako minunkiso iva hiswa.
11 And an agent of the Lord became visible to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
Mi iñiloi lya Simwine livezi kuvoneka ha vusu vwake ni ku zimana ku vulyo vwe alutare ye minunkiso.
12 And Zacharias having seen, was shaken, and fear fell upon him.
Zakaria ha muvona, ava tilimuki mi lyowa livezi hali.
13 But the agent said to him, Fear not, Zacharias, because thy plea was heard, and thy wife Elizabeth will bear a son for thee. And thou shall call his name John.
Kono i ñiloi chi lya ti kwali, “sanzi uvi ni lyowa, Zakaria, kakuti intapelo yako iva tekwa. Mwi hyenu Elizabeta mwa pepe mwana o mwisisu. Kamu sumpe izina lyakwe Johani.
14 And there will be joy and exultation for thee, and many will rejoice at his birth.
Ka muve ni ntabo ni kusanga, mi vangi vese va sangilile he mpepo yakwe.
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he should, no, not drink wine and strong drink. And he will be filled of the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's belly.
Kakuli mwave muntu mukando mu menso a Simwine. Sanzi na nywi i waine kapa zinywiwa zi kolete, mi mwe zule ni Luhuho lu Jolola ku zwilila mwi vumo li ba nyina.
16 And he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God.
Mi vantu vangi va Isiraele kava sandulwe kwali Simwine wavo Ireza.
17 And he will go ahead, in front of him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn back the hearts of fathers toward children, and the disobedient in a mentality of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.
Mwa yende havusu bwe chifateho cha Simwine muluhuho ni ziho za Eliya. Mwa pange vovuti kupangila kuti a sandule inkulo za bashemi ve chikwame ku vana, ku pangila kuti vasa kuteki kava yende mu vutali vwa vantu va lukite - ku litukiseza kwa Simwine vantu valukisezwe iye.
18 And Zacharias said to the agent, How will I know this? For I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days.
Zakariya cha wamba kwi ñiloi, “Ni wola kuzi ziva vule izi? kakuli chili ni Mukwame yo supele mi ni mwihyetu naye cho supele ahulu.
19 And having answered, the agent said to him, I am Gabriel who stand in the presence of God. And I was sent to speak to thee, and to announce these good news to thee.
Mi iñiloi chila mwi taba ni ku wamba kwali, “njime Gaburiyele yo zimene mwikwina Ireza.”Nivaka tumwa ku kwiza kuwamba nawe, kukuletela aa makande ma lotu.
20 And behold, thou will be mute, and not able to speak until that day these things will come to pass, because thou did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.
“Cwale uvone, mo tontole, kese uwole kuwamba heisi izuva izi zintu hese nizi pangahale. Ichi nji kuti kana uva zumini manzwi angu, ese e zuzilizwe he nako i swanezi.
21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and they wondered during his delay in the temple.
Cwale vantu vava lindile Zakariya. Vava komeketwe kakuli avali kwi kele inako ingi mwi tempele.
22 And when he came out, he could not speak to them, and they recognized that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he was beckoning to them, and remained speechless.
Kono haka zwa mo, kana vali ku wola ku wamba navo. Chiva bonisisa kuti ava voni i pono havali kwina mwi tempele. Ava zwili ku panga zi supo kuvali na shele u tontwele.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
Ku vezi kuva kuti mazuva akwe oku tenda ha amana, cha yenda kwi nzuvo yakwe.
24 And after these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and she concealed herself five months, saying,
Kuzwa aa mazuva, mwi hyavwe Elizabeta ava hi menzi ma hya. Avali zwisi ku vantu ka mwezi i hinda iyanza. Cha wamba,
25 Thus the Lord has done to me during the days in which he looked, to take away my shame among men.
“Izi za vani pangili Simwine ha vani loli ni chishemo ku pangila kuti a zwise maswavisisa angu ha vusu bwa bantu.”
26 Now in the sixth month the agent Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
Mu Mwezi we yanza ni kamwina, I ñiloi Gaburiyele liba tumwa ku zwa kwa Ireza kwi tolopo mwa Galileya i sumpwa Nazareta,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary.
kwa kamwale yaba vikilizwe ku mukwame we zina lya Josefa. A vali ku wila ku luzuvo lwa Davida, kamwale izina lyakwe i vali nji Maria.
28 And the agent having come in near her, he said, Hail, thou who are highly favored. The Lord is with thee, thou who are blessed among women.
Cheza kwali ni kuwamba, “Lumele, iwe yo shemuvitwe ahulu, Simwine wina nawe.”
29 But having seen, she was perplexed at his saying, and was pondering what kind of greeting this might be.
Kono ava lyangene ahulu cha manzwi akwe, ava hupuli kuti iwola kuva mulumelisezo nzi uwu.
30 And the agent said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou have found favor with God.
Iñiloi chila wamba kwali, “Sanzi utiyi, Maria kakuli cho va wani chishemo ni Ireza.”
31 And behold, thou will conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son. And thou shall call his name JESUS.
Mi u vwene, mo pange mwana mwi vumo mi mo pepe muswisu. Mo sumpe izina lyakwe “Jesu.”
32 This man will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David.
Mwa ve mukando mi mwa sumpwe kuti Mwana wa Sikwiwulu. Simwine Ireza mwa muhe chipula chavu simwine chika zwilila ku vasikulwe vave sikulwe Davida.
33 And he will reign over the house of Jacob into the ages. And of his kingdom there will be no end. (aiōn g165)
Mwa vuse inzubo ya Jakovo kuya kwile, mi kese kuve nima mani ku muvuso wakwe. (aiōn g165)
34 And Mary said to the agent, How will this be, since I know not a man?
Maria cha wamba kwi ñiloi, “Kai pangahale vule, kuvona kanini ku kopana ni mukwame?”,
35 And having answered, the agent said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee. Therefore also the holy thing that is begotten will be called the Son of God.
Iñiloi chilye tava niku wamba kwali, Luhuho Lujolola ka lwize hako, miziho za Sikwiwulu ka zize hako. Cwale iye uzo yo jolola yenke yese apepwe mwa sumpwe Mwana wa Ireza.
36 And behold, Elizabeth thy kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
Mi ubwene, mukwako Elizabeta naye aba pepi mwana o muswisu mu busupali. Uwu mwezi we yanza ni konke wali, uzo yabali kusumpwa kusa pepa.
37 For no word from God will be impossible.
Kakuli kakwina chese nichi sa woleki ni Ireza.
38 And Mary said, Behold the maid-servant of the Lord. May it happen to me according to thy word. And the agent departed from her.
Maria chati “ubwene, ni muhikana wo mwanakazana wa Simwine.” Kuve vulyo kwangu kakuya che ñusa lyako. Mi iñiloi chilya musiya.
39 And having risen in these days, Mary went with haste into the hill country, into a city of Judah,
Linu Maria ava vuki mwa awo mazuba, mi cha hwelela kuya kwi nkanda ye ziwulu, kwi tolopo mwa Judeya.
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.
Ava yendi mwi nzuvo ya Zakariya mi chaka lumelisa Elizabeta.
41 And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her belly. And Elizabeth was filled of the Holy Spirit,
Cwale kuva pangahali kuti Elizabeta ha zuwa mulumelisezo wa Maria, mbumbu mwi vumo lyakwe ava shili, mi Elizabeta ave zulwa Luhuho lu Jolola.
42 and she exclaimed in a great voice, and said, Blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy belly.
Cha koza inzwi lyakwe ni kuwamba kaku huwa “Iwe njo fwiyoletwe mukati kavanakazi, mi ni muselo we vumo lyako ufuyoletwe.”
43 And why is this to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me?
Mi chinzi hayi va pangahali kwangu kuti vanyina va Simwine wangu va swanela kwiza kwangu?
44 For lo, when the voice of thy greeting happened in my ears, the babe leaped with joy in my belly.
Mu vwene, mulumo we ntumeliso zako ha ziza ku matwi angu, mbumbu yo wina mwi vumo lyangu ava shili nche intabo.
45 And blessed is she who believed, because there will be a fulfillment of the things that were spoken to her from the Lord.
Mi uzo u fwiyoletwe yaba zumini kuti ka kuve ni kwizuzilizwa kwezo zintu ziva wambwa kwali ku zwilila kwa Simwine.
46 And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,
Maria cha wamba, “Luhuho lwangu lu temba Simwine”,
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
mi luhuho lwangu lusanga mwe Ireza mutusi wangu.
48 because he has looked upon the lowliness of his bondmaid. For behold, from henceforth all generations will regard me blessed,
Chaba loli ha mazimo avolele hansi a muhikana wakwe wo mwanakazana. Cwale mu vone, ku zwila hahanu onse masika ka a nisumpe kuti ni fwiyoletwe.
49 because the Mighty has done great things to me. And his name is holy.
Kakuli iye yo wina ziho chavani pangili zintu zikando mi izina lyakwe li jolola.
50 And his mercy is for generations of generations to those who fear him.
Chishemo chakwe chikalilile ku mahasi ni mahasi kwabo vamu tiya.
51 He did a mighty work by his arm. He scattered the proud in the mentality of their heart.
Chava tondezi ziho zakwe kache yanza: chaba hasani avo vavali kulikumuseza mihupulo ye nkulo zavo.
52 He brought down potentates from thrones, and raised up lowly men.
Chava soheli hansi vaana vavene simwine vechi kwame ha vuyendisi vwavo. mi chava nyamuni avo ba mazimo mavi.
53 He filled those who are hungry with good things, and those who are rich he sent away empty.
Chave zuzi avo va fwile inzala ni zintu zilotu, kono va humite avava tumini kule niva sena chintu.
54 He helped his boy Israel to be reminded of mercy,
Chava hi intuso kwa Isiraele muhikana wakwe, kupangila ku hupula ku tondeza chishemo
(mwava teli ku veshetu) kwa Aburahama niba mwi chilila kuya uko kusena mamanimani. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary dwelt with her about three months, and returned to her house.
Maria ave kali ni Elizabeta ka miezi yo tatwe mi cha volela kwi nzuvo yakwe.
57 Now the time for Elizabeth was fulfilled for her to give birth, and she brought forth a son.
Hanu inako chi iva sikite ya Elizabeta kuti ahwizumuke muchiche mi ava pepi mwanaswisu.
58 And her neighbors and her kinfolk heard that the Lord magnified his mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her.
Va vambene naye niva kwakwe vava zuwi kuti Simwine ava mutondenzi chishemo chakwe chikando kwali mi vava sangi naye.
59 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling it by the name of his father Zacharias.
Hanu kuvezi kupangahala he zuva li hinda iyanza ni to tatwe vava kezi njeva muchite mupato muchiche. Ni vava musumpi “Zakariya,” ku zwila izina li vesi.
60 And his mother having answered, said, No, but he will be called John.
Kono va nyina chive tava ni kuwamba “Ne, mwa sumpwe Johani.”
61 And they said to her, There is no man among thy relatives who is called by this name.
Chiva wamba kwali, “kakwina yenke mukati kava mwenu yo sumpwa keli zina.”
62 And they made signs to his father, whatever he wanted to call him.
Vava pangi zi supo kuvesi kupangila kuti vesi ve zive muvavali kusakila kuti a hewe izina.
63 And having asked for a writing tablet, he wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled.
Vesi chiba kumbila chiñolelo mi chiva ñola, “izina lyakwe nji Johani”. Vonse vava komokwa.
64 And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue, and he spoke, praising God.
Haho vulyo kaholo kakwe kave yalulwa mi lulimi lwake luva lukululwa. Ava wambi niku lumba Ireza.
65 And fear developed in all who dwell around them. And all these sayings were talked about in the entire hill country of Judea.
Lyowa livezi havo vavali kwi kala muma bali avo. Zonse izi zintu ziva twala monse mwi inkanda za ziwulu za Judeya.
66 And all who heard stored up in their heart, saying, What then will this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.
Mi vonse vava vazuwi vava ziviki mwi nkulo zavo, kuwamba, “cwale uzu muhwile mwave chi?” Kakuli iyanza lya Simwine livena naye.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled of the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Vesi Zakariya ave zwile ni Luhuho lu Jolola mi cha polofita, kuwamba,
68 Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, because he came to help, and made ransom for his people.
“Simwine a lumbwe, Ireza wa Isiraele, kakuli avezi kwiza ku tusa mi ava kwanisi kuvozekezwa kwa bantu bakwe”
69 And he raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his boy David,
Chava tuzimikili luziya lwo kuhaza mwi nzuvo yo muhikana wakwe Davida,
hava wambi cha kaholo zama polofita va jolola bakwe va vena mwi nako ya kale kale. (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us,
Mwa lete vu hazo vuzwilila ku zila zetu mi ni ku mayanza avo batu toyete.
72 to do mercy with our fathers, and his holy covenant to be remembered,
Mwa pange vovuti ku totendeza chishemo chakwe ku veshetu mi ni ku hupula ku jolola kwe ntumelelano yakwe,
73 the oath that he swore to Abraham our father, to give to us,
ku lisumina kwava wambi kwa Aburahama ishe etu.
74 without fear from the hand of our enemies, having been saved to serve him
Ava sepisi kutuha kakuli tuba zwiswa muma yanza e zila zetu, katu mutendele niku sena lyowa,
75 in piety and righteousness before him all the days of our life.
muku jolola ni muku shiama ha vusu bwake onse mazuva etu.
76 And thou, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High. For thou will go ahead, before the face of the Lord, to prepare his ways,
Eni, nawe, mwana, mo sumpwe mupolofita wa Isiwulu, kakuti moye ha vusu bwe chifateho cha Simwine kuli tukisa inzila zakwe, ku lukisa bantu cha kukeza kwakwe,
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins,
kwiza kuha inzivo yo kuhazwa ku vantu vakwe kaku swalelwa kwa zivi zavo.
78 because of the bowels of mercy of our God, by which the dayspring from on high came to help us,
Ichi kachi pangahale bakeñisa chishemo cha Ireza wetu, bakeñisa ke zuva lizwa kule lyese lize kuku tutusa.
79 to give light to those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into a way of peace.
Ku venya havo ve kele mwi fifi navo vena mu munzunde we fu. Mwa pange vovuti kutondeza matende etu mwi nzila ye nkozo.
80 And the child grew, and became strong in spirit. And he was in the desolate regions until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
Hanu mwana ava kuli niku kola mu luhuho, mi avena mumu zuka heisi izuva hali vonekisa kwa Isiraele.
