< Luke 1 >

1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to arrange a narrative of those things which are fully believed among us,
Ama Teofilus nene fee hadꞌat. Sodꞌa-moleꞌ. Atahori hetar sobꞌa suraꞌ dudꞌuit soꞌal dalaꞌ mana dadꞌiꞌ sia hai taladꞌa mara ena. Ara suraꞌ dudꞌuit ra, rendiꞌ dudꞌuit mana nenedꞌuiꞌ neu-nema mia hai, nisiꞌ hai ma sia hai eniꞌ a dalahulun, fo hai bubꞌuluꞌ mia Lamatuaꞌ Yesus atahori mana tungga nara, ma mia atahori feaꞌ mana rita no mata nara. Basa dudꞌuit naa ra, ndaa no Lamatualain hehelu-fufulin eniꞌ fai dalahulun. Dadꞌi au paresaꞌ lutuꞌ-leloꞌ basa dalaꞌ naa ra, eniꞌ a mia teteri-netehun. Dei de au uꞌetuꞌ fo suraꞌ basa naa ra no malole tungga tutute nara. No taꞌo naa, amaꞌ bisa bubꞌuluꞌ no matetuꞌ saa mana dadꞌiꞌ ena.
2 even as they were delivered to us by those who were eye-witnesses from the beginning and became ministers of the word,
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,
4 that thou mightst know the exact truth with regard to those things in which thou wast instructed.
Ma amaꞌ o mumuhere, saa fo atahori ra dꞌuiꞌ naa, nda dudꞌui peko-lelekoꞌ sa. Basa naa ra, tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ dadꞌi!
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.
Dudꞌuit ia teteri-netehun taꞌo ia: leleeꞌ mane Herodes toꞌu parendaꞌ sia propinsi Yudea, hambu atahori sa, naran Sakaria. Eni, malangga agama Yahudi esa. Boe ma eni o, esa mia baꞌi Abia nononggoꞌ malangga agaman. Sakaria saon, naran Elisabet. Eni o tititi-nonosiꞌ mia malangga agama ra, huu eni ia, baꞌi Musa aꞌan Harun tititi-nonosin.
6 And they were both righteous in the sight of God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Ruꞌa se rasodꞌa ndoos tungga basa Lamatualain parendan ma hohoro-lalane nara. Atahori fee hadꞌat neu se boe.
7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both far advanced in years.
Ruꞌa se lasiꞌ ena, te nda ma anaꞌ sa, huu Elisabet mamana anan maꞌatemeꞌ.
8 And it came to pass, that, while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his course,
Lao esa, Sakaria no nononggon Abia hambu babꞌanggi tao ues sia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ sia kota Yerusalem.
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.
Tungga sira hadꞌat na, malangga agama naa ra lea lot, fo rahine seka mana hambu babꞌanggiꞌ nisiꞌ kama Meumareꞌ sia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a. Sia naa, atahori naa musi dedꞌe hau maꞌameniꞌ sia Lamatualain matan. Faiꞌ naa, lot tudꞌa neu Sakaria.
10 And the whole multitude of the people was praying without at the time of the incense.
Boe ma ana rala neu. Leleꞌ ana hotu hau maꞌameniꞌ mia kama rala, atahori hetar hule-oꞌe sia ume sodꞌan.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right of the altar of incense.
Aiboiꞌ ma, Lamatualain aten esa mia sorga, nambariiꞌ sia mamana dedꞌe hau maꞌameniꞌ bobꞌoa onan.
12 And Zachariah was troubled at the sight, and fear fell upon him.
Nita taꞌo naa, ma Sakaria namatau nae mate, de nda nitaꞌ nae tao saa sa boe.
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.
Te ate mana mia sorga olaꞌ nae, “Sakaria! Afiꞌ mumutau e! Huu Lamatualain rena hule-oꞌem ena. Dadꞌi dei fo saom bꞌonggi fee nggo ana touꞌ sa. Musi babꞌae naran, Yohanis.
14 And thou wilt have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice for his birth.
Dei fo atahori hetar ramahoꞌo ro nggi, huu hei hambu anaꞌ ena. Dei fo anaꞌ ia tao ralam namahoꞌo.
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.
Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren koasan naꞌabꞌue no e, eniꞌ a maman nairu e. Ana musi naluli basa nininuꞌ mana nendi mamafut. Leleꞌ naꞌamoko dei fo Lamatualain, pake e dadꞌi atahori moko-monaen.
16 And many of the sons of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God.
Dei fo ana kokoe atahori Israꞌel hetar fo tungga baliꞌ sira Lamatuan, naeni Lamatualain.
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.
Ndolu-hadꞌan ma koasan onaꞌ baꞌi Elia, naeni Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-olan eniꞌ a mia dalahulun. Ana nema naꞌahuluꞌ hita Lamatuan. Ana tao ama-inaꞌ ra rala nara sue baliꞌ ana nara. Ma atahori mana lao hela Lamatuaꞌ ena o, ana ubꞌa rala nara fo ara tungga baliꞌ Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun. No taꞌo naa, ana tao atahori ra sadꞌia rala nara fo simbo Lamatuaꞌ neneman.”
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.
Te Sakaria natane baliꞌ ate a nae, “Bisa taꞌo naa, do?! Au ꞌo sao ngga lasiꞌ onaꞌ ia ena! Taꞌo bee fo au uhine basa ia ra bisa dadꞌi?”
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.
Boe ma, ate a nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia! Au Gabriel, Lamatulain dedenun. Ana mana denu au uma, ufadꞌe hara-lii malolen neu nggo.
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.
Te nda nau mumuhere oꞌola ngga sa. Dadꞌi tatandaꞌ fo moꞌeꞌ a taꞌo ia! Maa ma naꞌaꞌeꞌeku ma nda olaꞌ mala sa eniꞌ a mia oras ia, losa hambu mala anaꞌ naa. Dei fo mete neuꞌ ena. Saa fo au olaꞌ ia dei fo dadꞌi, nandaa no fain.”
21 And the people were looking for Zachariah, and wondering that he remained so long in the temple.
Atahori hetar mana hule-oꞌe sia deaꞌ ra, duꞌa-duꞌaꞌ a, huu Sakaria nda nau kalua-kalua sa.
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.
Leleꞌ ana dea nema, ana nda olaꞌ nala sa ena. Boe ma ana lalaes mbali se, ma rahine boe rae, Lamatuaꞌ natudꞌu e manadadꞌi manaseliꞌ sa mia Kama Meumare Manaseliꞌ a.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were completed, that he returned to his house.
Ue-taos nara basa, boe ma Sakaria baliꞌ ume neu.
24 And after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Nda dooꞌ sa ma Elisabet nairu. Boe ma ana kama aon siaꞌ a ume losa fula lima. Ana olaꞌ nae, “Koa-kio Lamatuaꞌ! Mateꞌen ma Lamatuaꞌ natudꞌu rala malolen neu au ena. Mete ma au hambu tititi-nonosiꞌ ena, atahori nda raꞌamamaeꞌ au sa ena.”
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me to take away my reproach among men.
26 And in her sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
Leleꞌ Elisabet ambun fula nee, boe ma Lamatualain haitua aten mia sorga, nisiꞌ kamboꞌ sa sia profinsi Galilea, naran Nasaret. Ate a naran, Gabriel.
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
Sia Nasaret hambu ana fetoꞌ sa, naran Maria. Maria tunangan no touꞌ sa, naran Yusuf. Yusuf naa, mane Daud tititi-nonosin. Gabriel neu nandaa no Maria.
28 And the angel came in to her and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored! the Lord is with thee.
Ana natudꞌu aon neu ana fetoꞌ a, ma nae, “Sodꞌa-moleꞌ, ana feto! Lamatualain pili nala nggo, fo nae tao dꞌala maloleꞌ sa fee nggo. Lamatualain naꞌabꞌue no nggo, Maria.”
29 And she was troubled at the words, and was considering what this salutation could mean.
Maria rena nala naa, ma ana tintindindi no ate a oꞌolan. Ana nda nahine naa sosoan saa sa boe.
30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favor with God.
Boe ma ate a ola seluꞌ nae, “Maria! Afiꞌ mumutau. Te Lamatualain sangga nae natudꞌu rala malolen neu nggo.
31 And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and hear a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
Nda doo sa te, muiru ena, Ma, dei fo bꞌonggi ana touꞌ sa. Ho musi babae naran, Yesus.
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;
Dei fo Ana dadꞌi Atahori monaeꞌ. Dei fo Lamatuaꞌ noꞌe E nae, ‘Eni, Au Ana heheli ngga.’ Naeni, Lamatualain manaseliꞌ a anan. Dei fo Lamatualain soꞌu E fo toꞌu parendaꞌ, onaꞌ baꞌin, mane Daud.
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
Dei fo Eni mana toꞌu parendaꞌ nakandooꞌ a neu atahori Israꞌel ra. Huu parendan nda mana basaꞌ sa. (aiōn g165)
34 Then said Mary to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?
Te Maria natane Gabriel nae, “Au, nda feꞌe sunggu o tou esa sa boe! Taꞌo bee fo au bisa uiru?”
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.
Ma Gabriel nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia! Dei fo Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren nema nisiꞌ nggo. Ma Lamatualain Manaseliꞌ a koasan mboti nala nggo. No taꞌo naa, Anaꞌ, dei fo bꞌonggi malaꞌ naa, tebꞌe-tebꞌe meumareꞌ. Huu Eni, Lamatualain Anan.
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.
Afiꞌ titindindi! Te bobꞌonggi ma esa, naran Elisabet, nairu ena boe. Atahori rae ana nda bisa bꞌonggiꞌ sa, huu namalasi ena. Tao-tao te ia na ambun fula nee ena.
37 For nothing will be impossible with God.
Huu, soaꞌ neu Lamatualain, basaꞌ e bisa dadꞌi!”
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.
Boe ma Maria nataa nae, “Malole. Au ia Lamatualain aten. Hela neu fo basa e dadꞌi tungga oꞌolam naa. Au sadꞌia tungga a Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun.” Basa ma ate mana mia sorga lao hela e.
39 And Mary arose and went in those days into the hill-country with haste, into a city of Judah.
Seli fai hira ma, Maria lao halalai mia Nasaret nisiꞌ Zakaria kambon propinsi Yudea mamana mbuku leteꞌ. Losa naa ma, ana masoꞌ tuteꞌ nisiꞌ Sakaria umen rala. Ma ana fee hara sodꞌa-moleꞌ neu Elisabet.
40 And she entered the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
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,
Leleꞌ Elisabet rena Maria haran ma, anadikiꞌ a natingga-nasamba sia Elisabet ambun rala. Ma Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren masoꞌ nisiꞌ Elisabet boe.
42 and cried out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women; and blessed is the fruit of thy womb!
Boe ma ana olaꞌ nae, “Maria! Dei fo atahori ra soꞌu rananaru naram lenaꞌ basa inaꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia! Ma atahori o soꞌu rananaru Anaꞌ mana sia ambum rala boe!
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Au o nene nenanaru boe, huu Lamatua ngga maman nema nandaa no au.
44 For lo! as soon as the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, the babe leaped in my womb in exultation.
Leleꞌ rala uma fee hara sodꞌa-moleꞌ neu au, ma ana ngga natingga-nasamba tuteꞌ sia ambu ngga huu namahoꞌo.
45 And blessed is she who hath believed that there will be an accomplishment of those things which were told her from the Lord.
Lamatualain natudꞌu rala malolen neu nggo, huu mumuhere mae, Ana nae tao tungga hehelu-fufulin.”
46 And Mary said, My soul magnifieth the Lord,
Maria olaꞌ nae, “Mia au rala ngga, au soꞌu unanaru Lamatuaꞌ
47 and my spirit hath exulted in God my Saviour;
Au rala ngga namahoꞌo, huu Lamatualain fee au masodꞌaꞌ!
48 for he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaiden. For lo! from this time all generations will call me blessed;
Ana tao mataꞌ neu au, atahori dedenun nda mana naꞌena sosoa-ndandaaꞌ ia sa. Mia leleꞌ ia basa atahori rae au ia, ina uanale maloleꞌ,
49 for the Mighty One hath done great things for me; and holy is his name;
huu Lamatuaꞌ tao dala manaseliꞌ ra fee au. Eni, mana koasa manaseliꞌ no Meumaren manaseliꞌ.
50 and his mercy is from generation to generation on them that fear him.
Lamatualain akaꞌ natudꞌu rala susuen neu basa atahori mana fee hadꞌa-hormat ma beꞌutee neu E. mia tititi nonosiꞌ sa losa tititi nonosiꞌ laen.
51 He hath wrought mightily with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the device of their heart.
Ana pake koasan, fo tao atahori mana koaoꞌ ra ramue-raanggiꞌ.
52 He hath cast down princes from thrones, and exalted men of low degree.
Ana naꞌatutudꞌaꞌ atahori mana toꞌu koasa ra, huu sira rananaru ao nara. Te Ana soꞌu nananaru atahori mana maloe-madꞌae rala nara.
53 The hungry he hath filled with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty.
Ana nahao atahori mana ndoeꞌ ra losa raꞌabeta, te Ana oi hendi atahori mamasuꞌi ra lao ro lima rouꞌ
54 He hath given help to Israel his servant, in remembrance of his mercy
Ana tulu-fali atahori Israꞌel nara, ma akaꞌ natudꞌu rala susuen neu se.
55 toward Abraham and his offspring for ever, as he spoke to our fathers. (aiōn g165)
Dalahulun, Ana tao hehelu-fufuliꞌ no bei-baꞌi tara, naeni, baꞌi Abraham no basa tititi-nonosi nara. Losa faiꞌ ia hehelu-fufuliꞌ naa feꞌe nenepaꞌaꞌ nakandoo.” (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
Basa de, Maria leo no Elisabet losa fula telu. Dei de ana baliꞌ nisiꞌ umen sia Nasaret.
57 Now Elizabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
Leleꞌ fain losa ma, Elisabet bꞌonggi ana touꞌ sa.
58 And her neighbors and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had showed great mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her.
Haraꞌ naa nenedꞌui-bꞌenggaꞌ losa bobꞌonggin ma basa kambo isiꞌ ra oi, Lamatualain natudꞌu rala malolen ma fee Elisabet anaꞌ sa. Ma basa se o ramahoꞌo boe.
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.
Anaꞌ naa fai falu ma, ara sunat e tungga atahori Yahudi ra adꞌat na. Ara rae babꞌae naran, Sakaria, tungga aman naran.
60 And his mother answering said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
Te inan nda nau sa nae, “Nda taꞌo naa sa! Naran, musi Yohanis!”
61 And they said to her, There is no one of thy kindred that is called by this name.
Te rataa rae, “Saa de nauꞌ a naran Yohanis? Sia hei bobꞌonggi mara nda hambu esa naran onaꞌ naa sa boe!”
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him named.
Boe ma ara laes Sakaria, fo rae rahine nae babꞌae anaꞌ a naran neu se.
63 And he asked for a writing-tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled.
Sakaria laes noꞌe fatu lei. Ara fee, de ana suraꞌ nae, “Naran Yohanis!” Boe ma basa atahori ra titindindii.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue was loosed; and he spoke, blessing God.
Aiboiꞌ ma, Sakaria maa maꞌaꞌeꞌekun, bangganaꞌu neuꞌ ena. Boe ma ana soꞌu koa-kio Lamatualain.
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.
Basa atahori mana leo deka naa ra, ramatau ma heran. Boe ma dudꞌuit naa neneduiꞌ, losa basa atahori sia lete-leteꞌ propinsi Yudea ra o bubꞌuluꞌ boe.
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.
Atahori mana rena dudꞌuit naa, dꞌuꞌa-dꞌuꞌa rae, “Lamatualain koasan memaꞌ no anaꞌ ia, De naꞌamoko nema na, ana dadꞌi atahori onaꞌ beek o?”
67 And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Basa ma, Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren masoꞌ nisiꞌ Sakaria. Naa de ana olaꞌ nae,
68 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel! for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
Koa-kio Lamatuaꞌ, atahori Israꞌel Lamatuan! Huu nema de tefa-soi nala atahori nara ena, naa fo ara afiꞌ onaꞌ ate fai.
69 and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant, —
Lamatuaꞌ soꞌu nala Atahori sa koasan manaseliꞌ, fo ana fee masodꞌaꞌ neu nggita. Eni ia, laoꞌ mia mane Daud tititi-nonosin.
70 as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets of old, (aiōn g165)
Lamatuaꞌ helu basa ia ra eniꞌ a lele uluꞌ a, pake Eni mana ola-ola nara fo rala nara mana maꞌatataaꞌ ra. (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
Ia naa nae mboꞌi nggita mia musu tara, ma atahori mana rala nara mera ro nggita.
72 to accomplish his mercy toward our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
Ana natudꞌu rala malolen neu bei-baꞌi tara, huu akaꞌ nasanedꞌa hehelu-fufulin neu se, fo Ana henggenee no baꞌi Abraham a.
73 the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
74 to grant to us, that being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we might worship him without fear,
Ana mboꞌiꞌ nggita mia musu tara ena, fo ata bisa beꞌutee neu E, ma sudꞌi tamatau fai.
75 in holiness and righteousness before him, all our days.
Ana mboꞌiꞌ nggita ena, fo tasodꞌa takandoo no ndoo-tetuꞌ ma meumareꞌ sia matan.
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,
Yohanis! Ho ia, au ana ngga. Dei fo atahori rahine nggo rae, ho Lamatualain manaseliꞌ a mana ola-olan. Dei fo muu mufadꞌe atahori ra, fo ara simbo no malole Lamatuaꞌ neneman.
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins
Dei fo muu mutudꞌu dalaꞌ neu Lamatuaꞌ atahori nara, fo bisa rahine rae, sira o bisa hambu masoi-masodꞌaꞌ boe, huu Lamatuaꞌ fee ambon neu sala-kilu nara ena.
78 through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us,
Huu Lamatuaꞌ ralan bꞌangganaꞌus ma sue-lai nggita, naa de Ana fee seluꞌ nggita kakaꞌe feuꞌ, onaꞌ fai feuꞌ nendi manggarelo feuꞌ. Hita mana leo-lao sia maꞌahatuꞌ a ma tamatau mate, huu nda feꞌe malole to Lamatuaꞌ sa, dei fo hambu manggareloꞌ fo nalalao nggita tisiꞌ dꞌala mole-dꞌameꞌ.”
79 to give light to those sitting in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit; and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.
Basa boe ma, Yohanis boe naꞌamoko. Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dalen tao e maꞌadere. Naꞌamoko nema, boe ma neu leo sia mamana rouꞌ, losa ana soꞌu ue-tataos na fee atahori Israꞌel ra.
