Luke 1
1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to arrange a narrative of those things which 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 eye-witnesses from the beginning and became 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 accurately traced up all things from the first, to write to thee a connected account, 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 thou mightst know the exact truth with regard to those things in which thou wast instructed.
Ili ku pangila kuti mwi zive vuniti vwezo zintu zimu va lutwa.
5 There was in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zachariah, of the course of Abijah; and he had a wife 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 And they were both righteous in the sight of 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 far advanced in years.
Kono kana vavena mwana kakuli Elizabeta kana vena luzalo, mi hape vonse chi vava supele ahulu he iyi inako.
8 And it came to pass, that, while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his course,
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 priesthood the lot fell to him to go into the temple of the Lord and burn the incense.
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 was praying without at the time of the 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 on the right 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 thy prayer was heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt 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 thou wilt have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice for 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 will drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from his very birth.
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 will he turn to the Lord their God.
Mi vantu vangi va Isiraele kava sandulwe kwali Simwine wavo Ireza.
17 And he will go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, 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, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is far 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 answering said to him, I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to thee, and to tell thee these glad tidings.
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 lo! thou shalt be silent, and not able to speak, until the day when these things shall come to pass, because thou didst not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their season.
“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 looking for Zachariah, and wondering that he remained so long in the temple.
Cwale vantu vava lindile Zakariya. Vava komeketwe kakuli avali kwi kele inako ingi mwi tempele.
22 And on coming out, he was not able to speak to them; and they perceived 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 ministration were completed, that he returned to his 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 hid 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 hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on 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 her sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, called 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 angel came in to her and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored! the Lord is with thee.
Cheza kwali ni kuwamba, “Lumele, iwe yo shemuvitwe ahulu, Simwine wina nawe.”
29 And she was troubled at the words, and was considering 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 thou hast found favor with God.
Iñiloi chila wamba kwali, “Sanzi utiyi, Maria kakuli cho va wani chishemo ni Ireza.”
31 And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and hear a son, and shalt 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 for ever; 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 Then said Mary 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 answering said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee; wherefore the holy one that is to be born 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 lo! Elizabeth, thy kinswoman, she also hath 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 will be impossible with God.
Kakuli kakwina chese nichi sa woleki ni Ireza.
38 And Mary said, Lo, the handmaid of the Lord! May it be to me according to thy 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 and went in those days into the hill-country with haste, 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 entered 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 leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with 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 cried out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women; and blessed is the fruit of thy 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 lo! as soon as the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, the babe leaped in my womb in exultation.
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 hath believed that there will be an accomplishment of those things which were told 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 magnifieth the Lord,
Maria cha wamba, “Luhuho lwangu lu temba Simwine”,
47 and my spirit hath exulted in God my Saviour;
mi luhuho lwangu lusanga mwe Ireza mutusi wangu.
48 for he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaiden. For lo! from this time all generations will 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 the Mighty One hath 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 on them that fear him.
Chishemo chakwe chikalilile ku mahasi ni mahasi kwabo vamu tiya.
51 He hath wrought mightily with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the device of their heart.
Chava tondezi ziho zakwe kache yanza: chaba hasani avo vavali kulikumuseza mihupulo ye nkulo zavo.
52 He hath cast down princes from thrones, and exalted men of low degree.
Chava soheli hansi vaana vavene simwine vechi kwame ha vuyendisi vwavo. mi chava nyamuni avo ba mazimo mavi.
53 The hungry he hath filled with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty.
Chave zuzi avo va fwile inzala ni zintu zilotu, kono va humite avava tumini kule niva sena chintu.
54 He hath given help to Israel his servant, in remembrance of his 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 abode 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 Elizabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; 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 kinsfolk heard that the Lord had showed great 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 that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they were about to call him Zachariah, after the name of his father.
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 answering 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 of thy kindred 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, how he would have him named.
Vava pangi zi supo kuvesi kupangila kuti vesi ve zive muvavali kusakila kuti a hewe izina.
63 And he asked for a writing-tablet, and 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 his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue was loosed; and he spoke, blessing 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 around them; and all these things were talked of throughout the whole of the hill-country of Judaea.
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, 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 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, the God of Israel! for he hath 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 hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant, —
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 to accomplish his mercy toward 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 to grant to us, that being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we might worship 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 thou, child, shalt be called a prophet of the Most High; for thou shalt go in advance 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 through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring from on high hath 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 sitting in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into 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 waxed strong in spirit; and 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.
