Luke 1
1 Since many have undertaken to compose a history of the things that are fully believed among us,
Mi tampin eiho lah'a ana guilhung thilsoh ho chungchang sutdoh agouvin ahi.
2 even as they were delivered to us by those who were, from the beginning, eye-witnesses and ministers of the word;
Amahon amittah'a mu seijui masaho thulhut amangchauvin ahi.
3 it seemed good to me also, having obtained exact information of all things from the very first, to write them in order for you, most excellent Theophilus,
Thil jouse abul'a pat phatah'a kholchil ahitoh lhon'in, keiman jong chingthei tah'a nangma dinga jihdoh ding kakigel lhah ahitai, jana sangpen chang Theophilus,
4 that you might know the certainty of the things in which you have been instructed.
chutia chu thutah nana kihil jouse chu ahimong nai ti nanop nading ahi.
5 There was, in the days of Herod the king of Judea, a certain priest, named Zachariah, of the class of Abijah; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
Judea gam'a Herod leng ahi laiyin, Zechariah kiti Judah thempu khat ana um'in ahi. Ama chu Abijah thempu loi lah'a khat ahin chule a'inneipi Elizabeth jong chu Aaron thempu khailhah'a kon ahi.
6 They were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord, blameless.
Zechariah le Elizabeth chu Pathen mitmun achonpha lhon'in, Pakai dan thupeh le chon na dan jouse chingthei tah'a jui ahilhon'e.
7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.
Elizabeth in nao avop theilou jeh chun cha aneilhon pon, chule ani lhon'in hateh'in ateh gel lhon tai.
8 It came to pass, while he was officiating as priest before God, in the order of his class, that,
Nikhat Zechariah chun Hou'in sungah Pathen kin abolin, ajeh chu chuche hapta sunga chu mopohna chang ahi.
9 according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense, when he went into the temple of the Lord.
Thempuho chonna ngai banga, ama chu Hou'in muntheng sunga lut'a chule thil namtui hal dinga lhendoh hi ahi.
10 And all the multitude of the people were praying without, at the time of incense.
Thil namtui akihal jing laiyin, mipi tamtah pamlangah ading'un taona amang uve.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
Zechariah muntheng sunga aumpet in Pakai vantil khat ahengah ahung kilah in, maicham phung jetlam a chun adingin ahi.
12 And Zachariah was troubled at the sight, and fear fell upon him.
Zechariah in hichu amuphat in akithing'in hatah in akicha tan ahi.
13 But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachariah; for your prayer is heard, and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
Ahivangin vantil chun aseiyin, “Kicha hih'in Zechariah! Pathen in nataona asangtai. Na inneipi Elizabeth in chapa khat nahinpeh ding, chule amin John nasah ding ahi.
14 And you shall have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice at his birth.
Nangman kipana lentah nanei ding, chule mi tampi ama pen a kipah ding ahi,
15 For he shall be great before the Lord; and he shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb.
ijeh inem itile ama chu Pakai mitmua hung len ding. Aman ju kiti le khamna thei thil kiti atohkhah thei lou ding. Ama chu apen masang jenga jong Lhagao Theng dimset ding ahi.
16 And many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
Chule aman Israel mi tamtah Pakai a-Pathen'u henga alehei ding ahi.
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient, by the wisdom of the just, in order to make ready for the Lord a prepared people.
Ama chun Elijah lhagao le thahat aken ding ahi. Aman mipiho chu Pakai hung na dinga agontup ding ahi. Mipa te lung achate chunga aheiya chule doudal lungput neiho michonphaho chihna akisan sah ding ahi,” ati.
18 And Zachariah said to the angel: By what sign shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife is advanced in years.
Zechariah chun vantil jah'a aseiyin, “Hitobang hi aso ding ken iti kahet thei ding ham? Tun keima kateh tan, chule ka inneipi jong kum tamtah alhing tai,” tin adong tai.
19 And the angel answered and said to him: I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God; and I am sent to speak to you, and to announce to you this good news.
Chuin vantil chun aseiyin, “Keima Gabriel kahi! Pathen angsung tah a ding kahi. Ama ahi keima nahenga hiche kipana thupha podinga eihin sol ah;
20 And behold, you shall be dumb and not able to speak, till the day in which these things shall take place, because you did not believe my words, which shall be fulfilled in their proper time.
Ahinlah tun, nangman kasei natahsan pon, chujeh'a nangma nathipbeh ding chule nao apen tokah'a paothei louva naum ding ahitai. Ajeh chu kathusei chengse hi aphat cha guilhung tei ding ahi,” ati.
21 And the people were waiting for Zachariah, and they wondered that he stayed so long in the temple.
Achutilai chun mipi hon Zechariah chu ahung potdoh ding angah jingun, ipi bol'a hibanga hi sot den hitam tin alungdong gam tauvin ahi.
22 But when he came out, he was not able to speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them, and remained speechless.
Achainakeiya ahung potdoh phat chun ama apaodoh thei tapon ahi. Chuin amahon amaiso le apaotheilouva kon chun Hou'in muntheng sunga chu mu anei hinte ti ahedoh un ahi.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were completed, that he departed to his own house.
Zechariah in Hou'in a athempu natoh hapta alhin phat in inlam'a akile tan ahi.
24 And after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and kept herself retired for five months, saying:
Phat chomkhat jouvin ajinu Elizabeth chu ahung gai paiyin chule lhanga jen potdoh louvin aum thipbeh tan ahi.
25 Thus has the Lord dealt with me in the days in which he has looked with regard upon me, to take away my reproach among men.
“Pakai iti phat hitam!” tin aphongdoh in “Aman kacha neilou jeh'a jumna eilah mang peh tai,” ati.
26 And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
Elizabeth naovop kal lhagup lhin'in, Pathen in Gabriel vantil chu Galilee gam Nazareth kho ah,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.
nungah theng Mary hengah asol'in ahi. Amanu chu Joseph kiti Leng David insung khailhah pasal khat toh kicheng dinga got'a um ahitai.
28 And the angel came into her presence, and said: Hail, graciously accepted: the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women.
Gabriel chu amanu hengah akilah in aseitai, “Chibai, sahluttah nu! Pakaiyin naumpi,” ati.
29 And she was perplexed at his words, and reasoned, what this salutation could mean.
Lungdong le lung kika lahlah pum in Mary'in vantil thusei chu ipi tina ahi agel tai.
30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary; for you have found favor with God.
“Kicha hih'in Mary,” tin vantil chun aseitan ahi, “Ajeh chu nangman Pathen lunglhaina nakimutai!”
31 And behold, you shall conceive and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.
“Nangma gaiyin natin chapa khat nahin ding chule amin Yeshua nasah ding ahi.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of David his father;
Ama hung len ding chule Chungnung pen Chapa kiti ding ahi. Pakai Pathen in apu David laltouna apehding ahi.
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
Chule Israel chunga tonsot'a vai apoh ding, alenggam in beitih aneilou ding ahi!” ati. (aiōn g165)
34 But Mary said to the angel: How shall this be, since I know not a man?
Mary'n vantil chu adongin, “Hinlah, hichu iti hithei ding ham? Keima nungah theng kahi,” ati.
35 And the angel answered and said to her: The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; for which reason, also, that which is begotten, being holy, shall be called the Son of God.
Vantil chun adonbut in, “Lhagao Theng nachunga hung chu ding, chule chungnung pen thanei na in nalekhu ding ahi. Hijeh a chu naosen apeng ding chu atheng hiding chule ama chu Pathen Chapa kiti ding ahi.
36 And behold, Elizabeth your kinswoman, even she has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren;
Ipi aval um ding ham, nasopinu Elizabeth in jong ateh nungin nao avop tai! Mi hon aching'ah ahi atiuvin, hinlah tun chapa khat avop'in lhagup alhingtai.
37 for nothing shall be impossible with God.
Ajeh chu Pathen dingin ima ahimo aumpoi” ati.
38 And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word. And the angel departed from her.
Mary'n adonbut in, “Keima Pakai sohnu kahi, kachunga lhungding nasei jouse hung guilhung hen,” ati. Chuti chun vantil chun amanu chu adalhatai.
39 And Mary arose in those days, and went with haste into the mountainous country, into a city of Judah;
Ni phabep jouvin Mary jong Judea gam thinglhang lang,
40 and she came into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
Zechariah chen na khoa chun acheloi chal'in ahi. Amanu insung alut in Elizabeth chu chibai aboh'e.
41 And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, that the babe in her womb leaped for joy.
Mary'n chibai aboh gin ajah chun Elizabeth naosen chu a-oisung a chun ahung kichom in, chule Elizabeth chu Lhagao Theng adimset tan ahi.
42 And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke with a loud voice, and said: Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
Elizabeth in kipanan ka cheng ahinlon Mary jah'a chun aseitai, “Pathen in numei jouse chunga phatthei naboh ahitai, chule na cha jong anunnom'e.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Ipi jeh'a hibanga jana kachan a ka pakai nu in eihung vil ham?
44 For, behold, when the voice of your salutation sounded in my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.
Nei lemna awcheng kajah chun kasunga naocha kipah in ahung kichom'e.
45 And blessed is she who believed; for there shall be a fulfillment of the things which were spoken to her from the Lord.
Anun nom nahi, ajeh chu Pakaiyin aseichu abol ding ahi ti natahsan e,” ati.
46 And Mary said: My soul magnifies the Lord,
Mary'n adonbut in “Kalhagao vin Pakai achoi-an e.
47 and my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior;
Kalhagao eihuhhing pu Pathen chunga iti kipah thanom hitam!
48 for he has looked upon the lowly condition of his handmaid. For, behold, from this time, all generations shall call me blessed;
Ajeh chu aman asoh numei nu dinmun ave jingin, chule tua pat'a khang jousen nunnom eiti diu ahitai.
49 for He that is Mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name:
Ajeh chu Hatchungnungpa chu atheng ahi, chule aman keima din thil loupi abol'e
50 and his mercy is from generation to generation upon those who fear him.
Aman ahepina akhang akhang'in ama gingte amusah jinge.
51 He has done mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in the understanding of their hearts.
Abanthahat chun kichat um tahtah thil abol'e! Aman mikiletsah le hoitho ho athecheh ji'e.
52 He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the lowly.
Leng chapate alaltounau-vakon in aloilhan mi kineosah te adomsang ji'e.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things, but the rich he has sent empty away.
Aman agilkel te thil pha phan avah in chule ahao te khutgoh keovin asoldoh ji'e
54 He has helped Israel his servant, (as he spoke to our fathers, )
Aman asoh Israel akithopin khoto dingin ageldoh'e.
Ajeh chu aman hiche kitepna hi iputeu, Abraham, chule achate dinga asem ahi.” (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
Mary chu Elizabeth koma lhathum tobang aum jouvin a'inlam ah akile tai.
57 Now the time for Elizabeth to be delivered had fully come; and she gave birth to a son.
Elizabeth chu anaoso phat alhin phat in amanun chapa khat ahingin ahi.
58 And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had showed great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.
Chuleh aheng akom le asopi chengin Pakaiyin akhoto naho ajahdoh phat un, mijouse amanu toh akipah khom cheh tauve.
59 And it came to pass, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they called him by the name of his father, Zachariah.
Naosen chu niget alhin in, amaho abon'un cheptansah dingin ahung'un ahi. Amahon apa banga amin Zechariah sahding agouvin,
60 And his mother answered and said: Not so: but he shall be called John.
ahivangin Elizabeth in, “Ahipoi, amin John ahi,” atitai.
61 And they said to her: There is no one among your relatives that is called by this name.
“Ipi natim?” tin amaho ahung eojah jengun “Na insung uvah hitobang min chu aum khapoi,” atiuve.
62 And they made signs to his father, to know what he wished him to be called.
Hijeh chun naosen min chu apan ipi akisah nom am ti mit-heiyin adongun ahi.
63 And having asked for a writing tablet, he wrote, saying: His name is John. And they were all astonished.
Aman lekhasutna pheng athum'in, mijouse lungdong in alhan “Amin John ahi” tin ahinjih e.
64 And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue was loosed, and he spoke, and praised God.
Chutah chun Zechariah jong ahung paothei tan chule Pathen avahchoi pan tai.
65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them; and all these things were talked of everywhere throughout the mountainous country of Judea.
Akimvel'a cheng chengse din kichatna alhung tan chule Judea thinglhang gam sungse ah thilsoh umchan chu akithejal soh tai.
66 And all that heard them, laid them up in their hearts, and said: What, then, will this child be? And the hand of the Lord was with him.
Chuche thilsoh jajouse chun athilsoh hochu alungin aching geh'un, “Hiche chapang hi ipibep ahungsoh tadem?” atiuvin ahi.
67 And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying:
Chuin apa Zechariah chu Lhagao Theng adimset tan chule hiche gaothu hi aphongdoh in ahi:
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people;
Vahchoiyun Pakai, Israel Pathen chu; ajehchu aman amite avil'in alhatdoh tai
69 and he has raised up for us, in the house of David his servant, a horn of salvation,
Aman huhhing hattah khat asoh David khailhah a kon in eipeuve.
Athemgao thengte henga malaiya akitepna banga (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
Tua eiho igalmiteu vakon le eihotbolteu va kona huhdoh a umding ihitauve.
72 in order to show the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
Aman ipu ipateu khotonan akitepna thengho ageldoh jingin–
73 the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
Akitepna ipuluiyu Abraham koma anakitepna bangtah in
74 that he would grant to us, that being delivered from the hands of our enemies, we might serve him without fear,
i-galmiteuva kon in eihuhdoh uve, Pathen kichatna beihel'a ijen thei nadiuvin
75 in holiness and righteousness before him, all our days.
Then na le chondihna a ihin laiseuva dingin
76 And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High; for you shall go before the face of the Lord, to make ready his ways,
“Chule kachapa, nangma chungnung pen themgao kiti ding nahi; ajeh chu nangman Pakai lampi semtoh sa nakoi ding ahi.
77 by giving to his people the knowledge of salvation in the remission of their sins,
Nangman amite, achonset nau ngaidam na'a kona huhhingna akimudoh nadiu naseipeh ding ahi.
78 through the tender mercies of our God; by which the dawn from on high has visited us,
Pathen mikhotona nemheo vanga jingkhovah chu van'a kona eiho chunga hung kisukeh go ahitai.
79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, by guiding our feet in the way of peace.
Muthim'a touho le thina lim'a touho vah pedinga, chule chamna lampi komu peh dinga ahi,” ati.
80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.
John chu ahung khanglen in chule lhagaovin ahung hatdoh in ahi. Chule Israel koma lhangphonga natoh apat kahsen ama gamthip lah dungah aumin ahi.
