Luke 1
1 Since many have undertaken to compose a history of the things that are fully believed among us,
Vangi vachi vava liki ku vika i nswanelo lye kande lyezo indava zichi zive zuzilizwa mukati ketu,
2 even as they were delivered to us by those who were, from the beginning, eye-witnesses and ministers of the word;
uvu vo vulyo mu vava zituheli mi avo kuzwila ku matangizo ivali impanki ni vahikana ve ñusa.
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,
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 that you might know the certainty of the things in which you have been instructed.
Ili ku pangila kuti mwi zive vuniti vwezo zintu zimu va lutwa.
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.
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 They were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord, blameless.
Vonse vo vele vava shieme ha vusu vwa Ireza, ku kuteka zonse intaezo za Simwine.
7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.
Kono kana vavena mwana kakuli Elizabeta kana vena luzalo, mi hape vonse chi vava supele ahulu he iyi inako.
8 It came to pass, while he was officiating as priest before God, in the order of his class, that,
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 according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense, when he went 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 all the multitude of the people were praying without, at the time of incense.
Chonse chichava cha vantu chiva kwete ku lapela hanze heyo inako minunkiso iva hiswa.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing at 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 Zachariah was troubled at the sight, and fear fell upon him.
Zakaria ha muvona, ava tilimuki mi lyowa livezi hali.
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.
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 you shall have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice at his birth.
Ka muve ni ntabo ni kusanga, mi vangi vese va sangilile he mpepo yakwe.
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.
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 many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
Mi vantu vangi va Isiraele kava sandulwe kwali Simwine wavo Ireza.
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.
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 Zachariah said to the angel: By what sign shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife is advanced in years.
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 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.
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, 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.
“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 Zachariah, and they wondered that he stayed so long in the temple.
Cwale vantu vava lindile Zakariya. Vava komeketwe kakuli avali kwi kele inako ingi mwi tempele.
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.
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 completed, that he departed to his own house.
Ku vezi kuva kuti mazuva akwe oku tenda ha amana, cha yenda kwi nzuvo yakwe.
24 And after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and kept herself retired for 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 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.
“Izi za vani pangili Simwine ha vani loli ni chishemo ku pangila kuti a zwise maswavisisa angu ha vusu bwa bantu.”
26 And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into 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 name of the virgin 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 angel came into her presence, and said: Hail, graciously accepted: the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women.
Cheza kwali ni kuwamba, “Lumele, iwe yo shemuvitwe ahulu, Simwine wina nawe.”
29 And she was perplexed at his words, and reasoned, what this salutation could mean.
Kono ava lyangene ahulu cha manzwi akwe, ava hupuli kuti iwola kuva mulumelisezo nzi uwu.
30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary; for you have found favor with God.
Iñiloi chila wamba kwali, “Sanzi utiyi, Maria kakuli cho va wani chishemo ni Ireza.”
31 And behold, you shall conceive and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.
Mi u vwene, mo pange mwana mwi vumo mi mo pepe muswisu. Mo sumpe izina lyakwe “Jesu.”
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;
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 shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
Mwa vuse inzubo ya Jakovo kuya kwile, mi kese kuve nima mani ku muvuso wakwe. (aiōn g165)
34 But Mary said to the angel: How shall this be, since I know not a man?
Maria cha wamba kwi ñiloi, “Kai pangahale vule, kuvona kanini ku kopana ni mukwame?”,
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.
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 your kinswoman, even she has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who is 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 nothing shall be impossible with God.
Kakuli kakwina chese nichi sa woleki ni Ireza.
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.
Maria chati “ubwene, ni muhikana wo mwanakazana wa Simwine.” Kuve vulyo kwangu kakuya che ñusa lyako. Mi iñiloi chilya musiya.
39 And Mary arose in those days, and went with haste into the mountainous 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 she came into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
Ava yendi mwi nzuvo ya Zakariya mi chaka lumelisa Elizabeta.
41 And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, that the babe in her womb leaped for joy.
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 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.
Cha koza inzwi lyakwe ni kuwamba kaku huwa “Iwe njo fwiyoletwe mukati kavanakazi, mi ni muselo we vumo lyako ufuyoletwe.”
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Mi chinzi hayi va pangahali kwangu kuti vanyina va Simwine wangu va swanela kwiza kwangu?
44 For, behold, when the voice of your salutation sounded in my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.
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; for there shall be a fulfillment of the things which 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 for he has looked upon the lowly condition of his handmaid. For, behold, from this time, all generations shall call 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 for He that is Mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name:
Kakuli iye yo wina ziho chavani pangili zintu zikando mi izina lyakwe li jolola.
50 and his mercy is from generation to generation upon those who fear him.
Chishemo chakwe chikalilile ku mahasi ni mahasi kwabo vamu tiya.
51 He has done mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in the understanding of their hearts.
Chava tondezi ziho zakwe kache yanza: chaba hasani avo vavali kulikumuseza mihupulo ye nkulo zavo.
52 He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the lowly.
Chava soheli hansi vaana vavene simwine vechi kwame ha vuyendisi vwavo. mi chava nyamuni avo ba mazimo mavi.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things, but the rich he has sent empty away.
Chave zuzi avo va fwile inzala ni zintu zilotu, kono va humite avava tumini kule niva sena chintu.
54 He has helped Israel his servant, (as he spoke to our fathers, )
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 remained with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
Maria ave kali ni Elizabeta ka miezi yo tatwe mi cha volela kwi nzuvo yakwe.
57 Now the time for Elizabeth to be delivered had fully come; and she gave birth to a son.
Hanu inako chi iva sikite ya Elizabeta kuti ahwizumuke muchiche mi ava pepi mwanaswisu.
58 And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had showed great mercy to 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 called him by the name of his father, Zachariah.
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 answered and said: Not so: but he shall be called John.
Kono va nyina chive tava ni kuwamba “Ne, mwa sumpwe Johani.”
61 And they said to her: There is no one among your relatives that 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, to know what he wished him to be called.
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 were all astonished.
Vesi chiba kumbila chiñolelo mi chiva ñola, “izina lyakwe nji Johani”. Vonse vava komokwa.
64 And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue was loosed, and he spoke, and praised God.
Haho vulyo kaholo kakwe kave yalulwa mi lulimi lwake luva lukululwa. Ava wambi niku lumba Ireza.
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.
Lyowa livezi havo vavali kwi kala muma bali avo. Zonse izi zintu ziva twala monse mwi inkanda za ziwulu za Judeya.
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.
Mi vonse vava vazuwi vava ziviki mwi nkulo zavo, kuwamba, “cwale uzu muhwile mwave chi?” Kakuli iyanza lya Simwine livena naye.
67 And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying:
Vesi Zakariya ave zwile ni Luhuho lu Jolola mi cha polofita, kuwamba,
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people;
“Simwine a lumbwe, Ireza wa Isiraele, kakuli avezi kwiza ku tusa mi ava kwanisi kuvozekezwa kwa bantu bakwe”
69 and he has raised up for us, in the house of David his servant, a horn of salvation,
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 that hate us,
Mwa lete vu hazo vuzwilila ku zila zetu mi ni ku mayanza avo batu toyete.
72 in order to show the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
Mwa pange vovuti ku totendeza chishemo chakwe ku veshetu mi ni ku hupula ku jolola kwe ntumelelano yakwe,
73 the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
ku lisumina kwava wambi kwa Aburahama ishe etu.
74 that he would grant to us, that being delivered from the hands of our enemies, we might serve him without fear,
Ava sepisi kutuha kakuli tuba zwiswa muma yanza e zila zetu, katu mutendele niku sena lyowa,
75 in holiness and righteousness before him, all our days.
muku jolola ni muku shiama ha vusu bwake onse mazuva etu.
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,
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 by giving to his people the knowledge of salvation in the remission of their sins,
kwiza kuha inzivo yo kuhazwa ku vantu vakwe kaku swalelwa kwa zivi zavo.
78 through the tender mercies of our God; by which the dawn from on high has visited 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 sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, by guiding our feet in the 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 deserts till 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.
