Luke 1
1 Forasmuch as many have undertaken to draw up a relation concerning the matters fully believed among us,
Bi niba boncianla jagi ke ban diani, ki togdi ya bontienkaala n tieni ti siiga nni,
2 as those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses of and attendants on the Word have delivered them to us,
ti kpaagi yaaba n tie kasiednba leni bi nuni hali micilma, ki tua U Tienu maama tuonsɔla.
3 it has seemed good to me also, accurately acquainted from the origin with all things, to write to thee with method, most excellent Theophilus,
Lan wani, n mo kali, ki jagi, ki buali, ki bandi bonŋanla yaali n tieni hali mi cilma, ki ba diani, ki togdi a leni mi kpaagma, fini, n buado leni n nicɔlnka Teofili.
4 that thou mightest know the certainty of those things in which thou hast been instructed.
Yeni, a ba bandi ŋan ga ya bangima mɔmɔni cain.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Abia, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.
herodi ṅ bo tie Jude badciamo ya yogu, salga yidka bo ye, ki yi Sakali, ki tie Abia salga yidkaaba cagli yua. O denpua bo tie Aron puolŋuanu, ki yi Elisabeti
6 And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Bi kuli bo tie nitegnkaaba U Tienu nintuali; bi kuli bo cɔlni U Tienu ñɔmabona, leni o yobdaano bali maama kuli, kaa pia kpiadma.
7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.
Bi bo ki pia biga kelima Elisabeti bo tie ŋɔlga, ke bani bilie kuli ji bo podi o.
8 And it came to pass, as he fulfilled his priestly service before God in the order of his course,
Dayeli, Sakali den yidi salga U Tienu dieli nni, li den tie bi cagli salga yidma yogu i;
9 it fell to him by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter into the temple of the Lord to burn incense.
bi den cɔlni salga yidkaaba danbogda, ki lugdi o ke wan kua salga yidkaanu, ki ŋubni li ŋubli.
10 And all the multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense.
Li ŋubli salga yidma yognu, ku niwulgu kuli den se niipo, ki jaandi.
11 And an angel of [the] Lord appeared to him, standing on the right of the altar of incense.
O diedo maleki den ludi o, ki legdi, ki sedi li ŋubli salga binbinli jienu po.
12 And Zacharias was troubled, seeing [him], and fear fell upon him.
Sakali ṅ la o, o yama ṅ pudi, ti jawaandi ṅ cuo o.
13 But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias, because thy supplication has been heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
Ama, maleki ṅ maadi o: “Da jie, Sakali, ki dugni, U Tienu gbadi a jaandi. A denpua Elisabeti ba punbi, ki mali a po bonjaga, ŋan yini o Jan.
14 And he shall be to thee joy and rejoicing, and many shall rejoice at his birth.
O ba tua a po pamancianli, ke bi niba boncianla ba mangi bi pala o madi po.
15 For he shall be great before [the] Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with [the] Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
O ba tua niciamo O Diedo nintuali. O kan ñu daamɔngu, ki nan buali daapaama. O ba ya gbie leni U Tienu foŋanma, ki da ŋaani mi biima.
16 And many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to [the] Lord their God.
Isayeli yaaba boncianla ba guani O Diedo, bi tienu kani.
17 And he shall go before him in [the] spirit and power of Elias, to turn hearts of fathers to children, and disobedient ones to [the] thoughts of just [men], to make ready for [the] Lord a prepared people.
O ba sɔni o tuonli ki dudi U Tienu nunbu nni leni Elia fuoma leni o paaciamu, ki cedi bibaanba leni bi bila ṅ guani ki mangi leni bi yaba, ki todi yaaba n ki tie nicɔlnkaaba, ban togdi bi nitegnkaaba maalma, ki ji bobni, ki tua ya nibuolu n ye U Tienu po.
18 And Zacharias said to the angel, How shall I know this, for I am an old man, and my wife advanced in years?
Sakali ṅ buali maleki: “Be n ba teni min bandi? Kelima mini nba n ciandi, ke n denpua mo podi boncianla”.
19 And the angel answering, said to him, I am Gabriel, who stand before God, and I have been sent to speak to thee, and to bring these glad tidings to thee;
Maleki ṅ guani ki jiini o: Mini n tie Gabiyeli, ki ye U Tienu kani, ki tuuni o po. Wani n sɔni nni ke min caa u tondu, ki pa ŋa ya laabaalŋamo ne.
20 and behold, thou shalt be silent and not able to speak, till the day in which these things shall take place, because thou hast not believed my words, the which shall be fulfilled in their time.
Lanwani, lan ba tieni maama n ne: A ba tua muulo, ki kan fidi ki maadi, hali ki tuoni ya daali ke min puni a ya laabaalŋamo ne yogu ba pundi, lan tieni ki dudi.
21 And the people were awaiting Zacharias, and they wondered at his delaying in the temple.
Lan kuli ṅ den tie ya yognu, bi niba den guu Sakali, ke li pagi ba leni wan waagi salga binbinli dieli nni.
22 But when he came out he could not speak to them, and they recognised that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he was making signs to them, and continued dumb.
Wan ji den ñani, o ji den kan fidi ki maadi leni li nitaanli. Bi ji den bandi ke o la bonlegdikaali salga binbinli dieli nni. Wani ji den tua muulo, ki ji maadi leni o nui.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were completed, he departed to his house.
Wan gbeni o salga yidma dana, ke o guani, ki kuni o denpo.
24 Now after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Lan tieni danaba, o denpua Elisabeti ṅ punbi, ki tieni ŋmaali mu, ki ye deni, kaa ña. O den maadi o pali nni,
25 Thus has [the] Lord done to me in [these] days in which he looked upon [me] to take away my reproach among men.
“Ne tie O Diedo tuonli i. O diidi nni leni mi yanbuama, ki piini yaali n den tie n po fee, bi niba kuli siiga.
26 But in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent of God to a city of Galilee, of which [the] name [was] Nazareth,
ŋmaali luoba ṅ pendi, Elisabeti tugpunbdi puoli, U Tienu ṅ sɔni maleki Gabyeli Galile dociamu nni, ke bi yi li dogu Nasareti.
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name [was] Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name [was] Mary.
jifaano kani, ke o tie ja cikpenga, ke bi yi o Josefi, ke o tie o badciamo, Davidi puolŋuanu. Li jifaano den yi Maari.
28 And the angel came in to her, and said, Hail, [thou] favoured one! the Lord [is] with thee: [blessed art thou amongst women].
Maleki ṅ kua o kani, ki yedi o: “Mangi a pali, fini yua ke U Tienu cabi a o ŋanbili; O Diedo ye leni a.”
29 But she, [seeing] [the angel], was troubled at his word, and reasoned in her mind what this salutation might be.
Mari yama ṅ yagi boncianla, li maama po; wan buali o pali nni lan ya fuodi niima nni.
30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God;
Maleki ṅ maadi o: Da jie, Maari, kelima U Tienu n cabi a o ŋanbili.
31 and behold, thou shalt conceive in the womb and bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
Yaali n ba tieni n ne: Li kan kandi dana, a ba punbi, ki mali bonjaga, ki yini o Jesu.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called Son of [the] Highest; and [the] Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father;
O ba tua niciamo, ban yini o “Tanpojoma Tienu Bijua” O Diedo U Tienu ba teni o o yaja, o badciamo Dafidi badkpagli.
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for the ages, and of his kingdom there shall not be an end. (aiōn g165)
O ba diedi ya buolu n ñani Jakobo kani hali ya yogu n ki pia juodma. (aiōn g165)
34 But Mary said to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?
Maari ṅ maadi maleki, li ba tieni ledi, kelima n tie powandiali i, n ki bani ja?
35 And the angel answering said to her, [The] Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and power of [the] Highest overshadow thee, wherefore the holy thing also which shall be born shall be called Son of God.
Maleki ṅ guani ki jiini o, “U Tienu foŋanma ba jiidi a po, ke Tanpojoma Tienu paaciamu ṅ fibni a leni o junjungu. Lan ya po i, ke bi ba yini ŋan ba mali ya biga U Tienu Biga.
36 And behold, Elizabeth, thy kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her that was called barren:
Diidi, a kpiilo Elisabeti mo punbi, ki guu bonjaga yeni wan ciandi maama kuli, ke bi tua ke o ji kan baa biga; o ji ye o ŋmaaluobidi n yeni.
37 for nothing shall be impossible with God.
Kelima U Tienu ki pia wan gbali yaala.
38 And Mary said, Behold the bondmaid of [the] Lord; be it to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
Maari ṅ maadi: “N tie O Diedo tuonsɔnlo i, ŋan yedi nni yaala ṅ tieni ki dudi nani lan buali maama. Ke maleki ñani ki ŋa o.
39 And Mary, rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah,
Li ki waagi ke Maari fii, ki ŋmaa tonma, ki gedi Jude juana dociamu nni.
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth.
Ki kua Sakali deni, ki fuondi Elisabeti.
41 And it came to pass, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with [the] Holy Spirit,
Wan gbadi Maari fuondi ya yognu, ke o biga yugi ki ciidi o tugu nni, ke Elisabeti gbie leni U Tienu foŋanma.
42 and cried out with a loud voice and said, Blessed [art] thou amongst women, and blessed the fruit of thy womb.
Ke o fiini u nialu, ki kpaandi, ki yedi: “A baa mi yedŋanma bi puoba kuli siiga, ke a tugu nni biga mo gbie leni mi yedŋanma.
43 And whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Be n teni ke n dagdi yeni li seli, ke O Diedo naa cua n kani ki bua la nni.
44 For behold, as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped with joy in my womb.
Kelima diidi min gbadi ke a fuondi nni ya yognu, ke n biga jeli leni li pamanli n tugu nni.
45 And blessed [is] she that has believed, for there shall be a fulfilment of the things spoken to her from [the] Lord.
U yenyienŋamu (mi yedŋama) ye leni fini yua n dugi ke U Tienu ṅ sɔni a po ya tondu ba tieni ki dudi”
46 And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,
Lan yognu, Ke Maari yedi: “N naano yiini O Diedo kpiagdi.
47 and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Ke n yantiali mangdi li pali, O Diedo U Tienu, n candaano po.
48 For he has looked upon the low estate of his bondmaid; for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Kelima o tuo ki tibni ki diidi mini talga, o tuonsɔnlo. Lan ya po, lan fii lan faa, leni yogu kuli, bi ba yini nni o cabŋandaano.
49 For the Mighty One has done to me great things, and holy [is] his name;
Kelima U Tienu, U Paaciamu daano tieni n po yaali n yabi.
50 and his mercy [is] to generations and generations to them that fear him.
O ŋanma ba tandi nifiima ṅ tuu nifiima yaaba n cɔlni o po.
51 He has wrought strength with his arm; he has scattered haughty [ones] in the thought of their heart.
O tandi o nuu leni u paaciamu, ki yadi yaaba ya pala n gbie leni ti japaadi'
52 He has put down rulers from thrones, and exalted the lowly.
O tudi ki jiini bi paadanba bi badkpaga po. ki nan duoni talganba.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things, and sent away the rich empty.
O gbieni a konkonba leni a bonŋana, ki nan deli ki yaani bi ŋalmandanba i nuukuomi.
54 He has helped Israel his servant, in order to remember mercy,
Nn, O puni Isayeli, mi todma o pakɔnli kuli po, ki waani o ŋanma ya nibuolu n tie o tuonsɔnba po.
(Nani wan bo niani ti yajanba) Abalahama leni o puolŋuani hali ya yogu n ki pia gbenma. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her house.
Maari kali leni Elisabeti nani ŋmaali taa yeni, ki guani ki kuni o denpo
57 But the time was fulfilled for Elizabeth that she should bring forth, and she gave birth to a son.
Elisabeti madi ji bo nagi n yeni, ke o mali bonjaga.
58 And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard that [the] Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.
O kuantalieba leni o kpiiba den bandi O Diedo ṅ tieni o po ya ŋanbli. ki tieni u badu leni o, ki waani bi pamanli ṅ dagdi maama.
59 And it came to pass on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called it after the name of his father, Zacharias.
O madi n ́pendi daaniili daali, ban cua ki ba kuani ki canpandga ku kɔnciagu. Bi den bua ban yini ki biga “Sakali” nani o báa n ́yi maama,
60 And his mother answering said, No; but he shall be called John.
ama ke o naá jiini ki maadi, “N N, O baa yi Jan i.”
61 And they said to her, There is no one among thy kinsfolk who is called by this name.
Ama ke bi maadi o, “Nilo ki ye i diegu nni ki gaani lan ya yeli”
62 And they made signs to his father as to what he might wish it to be called.
Lan wani, ke bi buali bibáa mi muulma nni, wan bua yini ki biga maama.
63 And having asked for a writing-table, he wrote saying, John is his name. And they all wondered.
O báa ń buali, ban teni o ki kpagdiankaaga (walga), wan diani ya lanbona ne, “O yeli tie Jan.” Lan tua bi kuli ya po pagili.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake, blessing God.
Lan yognu liga, o ñɔbu ń mubdi, o lanbu ń tabdi. Wan ji ya maadi, ki kpiagdi U Tienu.
65 And fear came upon all who dwelt round about them; and in the whole hill-country of Judaea all these things were the subject of conversation.
Ti jawaandi den cuo yaaba n den gaani ki lindi ba. Li laabaali den yadi i kaani kuli, Jude juana dogi nni.
66 And all who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, What then will this child be? And [the] Lord's hand was with him.
Yaaba n den gbadi li maama den maadi: “Ya biga ne ba tua be?” kelima U Tienu den ye leni o.
67 And Zacharias his father was filled with [the] Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Sakali ki biga báa den gbie leni U Tienu foŋanma, ke o pua sawali, ki yedi:
68 Blessed be [the] Lord the God of Israel, because he has visited and wrought redemption for his people,
Dondi mani O Diedo, Isayeli tienu, kelima, o todi o buolu, ki faabi u.
69 and raised up a horn of deliverance for us in the house of David his servant;
Ti ya po, o candaano yua n gbie leni u paaciamu mali o tuonsɔnlo, o badciamo Dafidi puolŋuani siiga.
70 as he spoke by [the] mouth of his holy prophets, who have been since the world began; (aiōn g165)
Wan den sɔni o sawalpuaba yaaba n gbie leni U Tienu foŋanma, ke bi niani ti yajanba yaala hali mi cilma, tieni ki dudi. (aiōn g165)
71 deliverance from our enemies and out of the hand of all who hate us;
Ke o ba faabi ti ti yibalinba nui nni, leni ti nantieba gbanmanu kani.
72 to fulfil mercy with our fathers and remember his holy covenant,
O tie bonli kuli ke li wangi o ŋancianma ti yajanba po, ki gɔa ki tiadi o n̄ɔnianu.
73 [the] oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
Wan den niani ti yaja, Abalahama yaali tieni ki dudi.
74 to give us, that, saved out of the hand of our enemies, we should serve him without fear
O poli ke o ya fie ti ti yibalinba nui nni, o ba cabi ti ki nunmanga, tin ya jaandi o kaa jie
75 in piety and righteousness before him all our days.
Ki tuuni o tuona, ki tie o buolŋamu, ki tie nitegnkaaba o nintuali daali kuli ti yenyienu nni.
76 And thou, child, shalt be called [the] prophet of [the] Highest; for thou shalt go before the face of [the] Lord to make ready his ways;
Nn, Ke fini, ki biñidga, bi ba yini a Tanpojoma sawalpualo, kelima, a ba ga sanliiga, ki cuoni U Tienu nintuali, ki bobni o sanu
77 to give knowledge of deliverance to his people by [the] remission of their sins
Ki teni o buolu ń bandi ke U Tienu puni u mi faabma, ki tieni u tuonbiidi po sugli.
78 on account of [the] bowels of mercy of our God; wherein [the] dayspring from on high has visited us,
Kelima ti tienu gbie leni ti niñinpadi leni mi ŋanma. Lanyapo, ku yenpudkaagu ba ña tanpoli, ki yendi ti po.
79 to shine upon them who were sitting in darkness and in [the] shadow of death, to guide our feet into [the] way of peace.
Ki yendi yaaba kuli n ye li biigli nni leni mi kuuma junjungu nni, ki pegdi ti taaŋmaadi mi yanduanma (li yanŋaali) sanu po
80 — And the child grew and was strengthened in spirit; and he was in the deserts until the day of his shewing to Israel.
Ki biga den yabdi, ke o yantiali mo paagdi ki pugdi. O den ti juodi ki ye ki tinkuonga nni i, hali yeni ya yogu ke o ti legdi ki waani o yuli Isayeli buolu po.
