Luke 1
1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
Vingi vitangile ukhuvikho vunonu amamenyu (simulizi) amamenyu galo ugukavombikhe kati yunyo,
2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; (logos)
Nduvuvatupile ufwe, yufwe ukhuhuma khuvutengulilo twalolile na miho gito na vavombi va limenyu.
3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto you in order, most excellent Theophilus,
Pwu nayune, vwu nilolile vunonu uvutengulilo wa mbombo inchi nchoni ukuhuma khuvute ngulilo - nikwene lunonu kulyune ukhukhwandikila vunonu mhesimiwa fincho Theofilo.
4 That you might know the certainty of those things, (logos) wherein you have been instructed.
Inave vwinogwa ulumanye uvwa yihwe li vwa mbombo iyumanyile.
5 THERE was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
Mfigono fya Herode, umbaha va Yuta, ali pwa ukuhani yumo ale vi Sakhaliya, va khikolo kya Abiya. UU dala ahumile khyu kuvana va Haruni, ni litavwa lya mwene ale vi Elizabeti.
6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Voni vale va yilweli kuvulongolo kwa Nguluve; valikugenda khisita lunoninoni mu ndagilo nchoni ncha Nguluve.
7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
Khange savakhale nu mwana, ulwa khuva u sabati ale gumba, khange voni vala vagogolo fincho.
8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,
Pwu lino yikhahumila ukhuva u sakhaliya ale va Nguluve, vwivomba imbombo ya vukuhani msamu ya mwene.
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.
Ukhukongana nu lwiho ulwa khuhala vi kuhani alikhu uvi ya khave ivomba, vahalaga ni kura ukhwingile mmtembile ya Nguluve nu ukhufukhutila uvumba.
10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
Ikhipuga kyoni kya vanu lili kudova khunji unsikhi gwa kufukhutila uvumba.
11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
Pwu usungwa va Nguluve akha ngumila nu khoima khunelyo khwu nekhelo ya khufukhutila.
12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
Usakhelia akha dwada vu ambene uvudwanchi vukhagwila.
13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elisabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
Pwu unsugwa akhambula akhata ulekhe ukhudwada, “Sakhaliya, ulwakhuva uludovo lwakho lupulikhikhe. UU ndala vakho uelisabeti ikhukhuholela umwana. Elifavwa lya mwene vukhumwilanya Yohana.
14 And you shall have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
Vwiva nu luhekhelo nu khukimagila, khenye vingi vikhv khuhovokhele ukhu holiwa khumwene
15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) even from his mother's womb.
is ulwakhuva iva mbahahi pavulongolo pamiho ga mmbaha. Sakhanywinchage idivai na ikivinywa ikhikali, khange iva adigile nu mepo umbanche, ukhuma mwitumbu mwa mamaye.
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
Na vanu vingi va mu Israeli vi vipindukha kwa nkuludeva Unguluve va vene.
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit (pneuma) and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
Ihitage khuvulongolo khumiho ga Ntwa nu mepo na makha ga Eliya. Ayivomba evo ukhukilivula inumbula ya baba kwu vana, uvu savidwa yavitota nu luhala lwa avalinu vwa yihweli. Ayimba wvo ukhuvika kwa Ntwa avanu uvu vavikhwe khu nongwa ya mwene.”
18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
Sakhalia akambula usungwa, “Nikulumanyandakhekhe ukhulu manya eeli? Ulwakhuva une niligogolo na yu ndala vanga imgakha gya mwene givile mingi fincho.”
19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto you, and to show you these glad tidings.
Usung'wa akhambula akhata, “Une nene gabileli, uvikhwima pamiho ga Nguluve nikhasuhiwe kukhumbula, ukhukhugegela inongwa iyi inonu.
20 And, behold, you shall be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because you believe not my words, (logos) which shall be fulfilled in their season.
Ulolage, sayawilola, vwivamye, sukhanchove mpaka isikhu yila yakhave yihumila. Yehumile ulwakhuva amamenyu ganyo yagihumila khunsikhi unonu.”
21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
Pwu lino avanu vali khugulila u Sakhalia. Walikudega ukhuta unsikhi gwoni ale mtembile.
22 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.
Vwu ahumile khunji alikhulemwa ukhunchova na vene. Vakhalumanya ukhuta upile amagono fivi vwali mtembile, alikhupi vonesya mufihwano akhanchiga mye.
23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
Yukhahumela ukhuta amanchuva ga vuvombi vwa mwene vuvusilile akhahega ukhuvuya khumiave.
24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Usakheliya vu avuyile khumiave ukhuhuma khuvuvombi wa mwene mu tembile, uu dala va mwene va akhava nu luleme. Navope sakhahuma mu nyumba ya mwene khu mienchi gihano akhata,
25 Thus has the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
“Ili lyu utwa avombile khulione upwa khandolile kwu vupendelelo ahenche isoni khuliune khange pamiho ga vanu.”
26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
Pwu lino umwenchi ugwa ntunato gwa mimba gya Elisabeti, Unguluve akhambula unsung'wa Gabilieli ukhuhila ikhilunga khya Mgalilaya khu khwilangiwa Nasaleti,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
Khu ng'inja uvyalondwe nu gosi uvi ikhwilangiwa vi Yusufu. Umwene ale va khivumbu kho kya Ndaveli, khange ilifavwa lya g'inja uyu ale vi Ihaliya.
28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, you that are highly favoured, the Lord is with you: blessed are you among women.
Akhincha khumwene nukhuta, “Nikukhuponia, uveve vyu pokhile uluhungu uluvaha! Untwa ahovwikhe nuve.”
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, (logos) and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
Limo amamenyu ga Nsungwa ga nja nchiche nu khusifa ukhulumanya khekhi unusungwa akhatile nikhu khupoia (salaam) ukhuu nchakhudege khu mwene.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for you have found favour with God.
Unsungwa akhambula, “Ulekhe ukhu dwadwa, Maliya, ulwakhuva vwupilile uhehungu ukhuhuma khwa Nguluve.
31 And, behold, you shall conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name JESUS.
Khange lola, vwigega uheleme mulitumbu lyakho vwihola umwana. Nayuve yavukhumwilaga ilitavwa lyamwene vi 'Yisu.'
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
Iva mmbaha ikwilangiwaga mwa ve khukhanya fincho. Utwa Unguluve ikhumpa ikhigoda ikhinyahwangulo ikya Ndaveli ubaha va mwene.
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
Ayilongoncha pa kyanya pa kwumbu kho kya Yakhobo myakha gyoni nu ludeva lwa mwene lwiva luchila vumalilo. (aiōn g165)
34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
Umaliya akhambula unsung'wa, ili lihumela ndekhekhi ulwakhuva sanegele nigone nu ng'osi uvi ave, nchaga?
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit (pneuma) shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God.
Usung'wa akhamwanda nu khumbula, “Umepo umbalancho ikhwo khwinchela paliyuve pwu lina umbalanche uviyakhave iholiwa ayikhwi langivwa mwane va va Nguluve.
36 And, behold, your cousin Elisabeth, she has also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
Pwu lola, uhekhulolwakho u Elisabeti alinuleme lwa mwana khu vutamo wa vugogolo vwa mwene. Ugu mwenchigwa sita khumwene, uvivalikhu ihwilanya igomba.
37 For with God nothing (rhema) shall be impossible.
Uhwakhuva lisikhuli ilyo likhuntola Unguluve.”
38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to your word. (rhema) And the angel departed from her.
Umaliya akhala, “Lola une nili mbombi va khidala va Nguluve. Ilakhe lwe yive vule vule khulione nduvo ilimenyu lyakho.” Pwu unsung'wa akhandekha.
39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
Pwu pafigono ifyo Umaliya akhahega khimbivi mbivi akhaluta khukhelunga khya twamba, khu jini gwa khilonga ya Yuta.
40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
Khaluta mnyumba ya Sakhaliya nu khumponia Uelisabeti.
41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit: (pneuma)
Pyu yikhahumila ukhuta Usabeti avile apolikhe uheponio mwene akhanchumba, nu Sabeti akhadiga umepo umbalenche.
42 And she spoke out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
Akhatoncha ilimenyu lya mwene nu khunchova khulinyu ili vaha, “Usayivwe uve mumbadala, nu mwana uvyalimwitumbu lyakho asayivwe.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Khange yiva ndakhikhi kyulune ukhuva, mama va Nkuludeva vango ukhuta inche khulione?
44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of your salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
Ulwakhuva, likhavile lipulikhikhemu mbulukhutu nchango ilimenyu lya khuponia uve umwana mwandileme lyango akhanchumbo nu hehovokho.
45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
Khange asayivwage dala uvi alikwidikha ukhuta vukhala vuhumila khuvumalilo vwa Nkhuludeva.”
46 And Mary said, My soul does magnify the Lord,
Mariamu akasema, nafsi yangu inamsifu Bwana,
47 And my spirit (pneuma) has rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Nu mepo yango yihovwikhile mwa Nguluve umpokhi vango.
48 For he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Uhwa khuva alolile pasi pa mbombi va mwene udala. Lola, ukhuhuma lino ifipepo fyoni fikhunyi langaga insayiwa.
49 For he that is mighty has done to me great things; and holy is his name.
Ulwa khuva umwene ummanyi avombile imbombo imbaha khuliune, khulitavwa lya mwene ilivalenche.
50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
Uluhungu lwa mwene lutama khipaponi khipato khuvala avikhudwada umwene.
51 He has showed strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
Avonisye amakha kwu khwa khivokho kya mwene; avahaselihimie vala ava likwiginie pa masago ga numbula yu vene.
52 He has put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
Avisinche pasi avana va vavaha ukhuhuma kwu fitamilo fya vene ifinya hvangulo nu khuvavikha kwu khyanya uvavale va pasi.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he has sent empty away.
Alikuvigusya avalininjala kwu finu ifinonu, pwu atayili avaswimile mavakho gene.
54 He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
Ahuminche uvutangile kwa Israeli umbombi va mwene, ukhukumbu kha ukhuvonesya uhihungu lwa mwene
(Nduvu anchovile kwa dada yetu) khwa Abrahamu ni khipapo kya mwene milele.” (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
Umaliya akhatama nu Elisabeti iminchi gidatu ndee pwa khavuya kwu nyumba ya mwene.
57 Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
Pwu lino unsikhi gukhavile guhege lile ugwa Elisabeti ukhuhola umwana udimi.
58 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had showed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
Awambunchege na vahukhulolwe vakhapu likha umwu unkuludeva vwa kunchinche uluhunge hwa mwene, pwu vakhahovokha paninie nu mwene.
59 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
Pwu yikhahumila ikhigono ikya nane ukhuta vali kwincha kwigida umwana. Yikhenong'ikwa ukhumwilanga ilitavwa lya mwene, “Zekaria,” Ukhuva liyavwa lya dada va mwene,
60 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
Pwa mama va mwene akhamula akhata, “Ate; ikwilangiwa Yohana.”
61 And they said unto her, There is none of your kindred that is called by this name.
Vakhambula, asikhuli nu via liyumo mukikolo kyako uviikwila ngiwa nilitawa ili.”
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
Vakhambombela ikhimanyilo udadaye ukhumbula umwene ukhuta alikunongwa ampe ilitavwa iliveni.
63 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
Udadaye alikhunongwa ikbavo kya kwandika, pwu akhandikha, “Ilitavwa lya mwene vi Yohana.” Voni valikhudegu pa ili.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, and praised God.
Unsikhi ndugu undomo kwa mwene gulichadinduliwa nu lulimi lwa mwene lulikukyega. Alikhunchova nu khuginia u Nguluve.
65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings (rhema) were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.
Uwudwanchi vukhevinchele voni uvuvatamaga paninie nevene. Imbimbo nchikhagenda ikhulunga kyoni ikya fyamba fya Yuta.
66 And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.
Pwu voni uvuvapulikhe vakha gavika munumbula ncha vene vita, “Umwana uyu viva ndekhekhi nela khekhi?” Ulwakhuva ikhivokho kya Nkuludeva khi khale nu mwene.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) and prophesied, saying,
Udadaye va Sakhaliya adigile umepo umbalanche nu khuhumya uvunyamalago, akhata,
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people,
“Aginivwage Unkuludeva, Unguluve va Israeli, ulwakhuva atangile nu khuvombela uvapokhi vwa vanu va mwene.
69 And has raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
Atwimikile ulusuga lwa vupokhi mnyumba ya mbombi va mwene Undaveti, ukuhuhuma mkhikolo kya mbombi va mwene Undaveti,
70 As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: (aiōn g165)
Nduvu anchovvile kwu ndomo gwa va nyamalago va mwene uvulalepwo imisi khi ikya khatele. (aiōn g165)
71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
Ikhutupokha khuvavivi vito nu khumyammavoko ga voni avikhutuvipila.
72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
Ayivomba evwo ukhuvonesya ikisa khuva dada vito, nu khumbukha uhwidihano lwa mwene uluvalanche,
73 The oath which he swore to our father Abraham,
Ulwidiko ulwu anchovile kwa Abrahamu udada vito.
74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
Akhidiga ukhugangancha ukhuta yiwesekhano ukhumbombela U Nguluve khesita vudwanchi, vwu tupokiwe ukhuma mumavokho ga vavivi veto.
75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
Mu vuvalanche nu vwa yehweli mbolongolo mmwene ifigono fyeto fyoni.
76 And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Highest: for you shall go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
Ena, na yuve mwana, vwikhwalaa ngivwa nyamalago va uvali khu kyanya fincho, ulwakhuva ayigendelaga mmbolongolo mwa Nkuludeva ukhuvavikhila injila, ukhuvavikha avanu ukhumulu pilila, umwene,
77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
Ukhuvavula avanu ukhuta ya vipokhi vwa kwu njila ya khusyikheliwa imbivincha vene.
78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high has visited us,
Ili yalihumila ulwakhuva khisa kya Nguluve vito, ulwakhuva ilinehuva ukhuhuma khukhenya likhutinchela
79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
ukhuvala khuvala avitama mhisi na mnu mwafuli gwa vufwe ayivombavo ugalongoncha amalunde gitu kwu njila ya lunonchehencho.”
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, (pneuma) and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel.
Pwu, mwana ula akhavula nu khuva na makha mumepo pwa akatama mchagalawe mpakha ihincho lya khuhumila umwene khu Israeli.
