Luke 1
1 To his Excellency, Theophilus. Many attempts have been already made to draw up an account of those events which have reached their conclusion 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 just as they were reported to us by those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses, and afterwards became bearers of the message.
3 And, therefore, I also, since I have investigated all these events with great care from their very beginning, have resolved to write a connected history of them for you,
4 in order that you may be able to satisfy yourself of the accuracy of the story which you have heard from the lips of others.
Ma amaꞌ o mumuhere, saa fo atahori ra dꞌuiꞌ naa, nda dudꞌui peko-lelekoꞌ sa. Basa naa ra, tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ dadꞌi!
5 In the reign of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the division called after Abijah. His wife, whose name was Elizabeth, was also a descendant of Aaron.
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 They were both righteous people, who lived blameless lives, guiding their steps by all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
Ruꞌa se rasodꞌa ndoos tungga basa Lamatualain parendan ma hohoro-lalane nara. Atahori fee hadꞌat neu se boe.
7 But they had no child, Elizabeth being barren; and both of them were advanced in years.
Ruꞌa se lasiꞌ ena, te nda ma anaꞌ sa, huu Elisabet mamana anan maꞌatemeꞌ.
8 One day, when Zechariah was officiating as priest before God, during the turn of his division,
Lao esa, Sakaria no nononggon Abia hambu babꞌanggi tao ues sia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ sia kota Yerusalem.
9 it fell to him by lot, in accordance with the practice among the priests, to go into the Temple of the Lord and burn 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, as it was the Hour of Incense, the people were all praying outside.
Boe ma ana rala neu. Leleꞌ ana hotu hau maꞌameniꞌ mia kama rala, atahori hetar hule-oꞌe sia ume sodꞌan.
11 And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, 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 Zechariah was startled at the sight and was awe-struck.
Nita taꞌo naa, ma Sakaria namatau nae mate, de nda nitaꞌ nae tao saa sa boe.
13 But the angel said to him, ‘Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, whom you will call by the 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 He will be to you a joy and a delight; and many will rejoice over 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; he will not drink any wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from the very hour of his 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 will reconcile many of the Israelites to the Lord their God.
Dei fo ana kokoe atahori Israꞌel hetar fo tungga baliꞌ sira Lamatuan, naeni Lamatualain.
17 He will go before him in the spirit and with the power of Elijah, to reconcile fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, and so make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him.’
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 ‘How can I be sure of this?’ Zechariah asked the angel. ‘For I am an old man and my wife is 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 ‘I am Gabriel,’ the angel answered, ‘who stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.
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 now you will be silent and unable to speak until the day when this takes place, because you did not believe what I said, though my words will be fulfilled in due course.’
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 Meanwhile the people were watching for Zechariah, wondering at his remaining so long in the Temple.
Atahori hetar mana hule-oꞌe sia deaꞌ ra, duꞌa-duꞌaꞌ a, huu Sakaria nda nau kalua-kalua sa.
22 When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision there. But Zechariah kept making signs to them, and remained dumb.
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, as soon as his term of service was finished, he returned home.
Ue-taos nara basa, boe ma Sakaria baliꞌ ume neu.
24 After this his wife, Elizabeth, became pregnant and lived in seclusion for five months.
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 ‘The Lord has done this for me,’ she said, ‘he has shown me kindness and taken away the public disgrace of childlessness under which I have been living.’
26 Six months later the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town in 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 maiden there who was engaged to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. Her 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 Gabriel came into her presence and greeted her, saying, ‘You have been shown great favour – the Lord is with you.’
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 Mary was much disturbed at his words, and was wondering to herself what such a greeting could mean,
Maria rena nala naa, ma ana tintindindi no ate a oꞌolan. Ana nda nahine naa sosoan saa sa boe.
30 when the angel spoke again, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God.
Boe ma ate a ola seluꞌ nae, “Maria! Afiꞌ mumutau. Te Lamatualain sangga nae natudꞌu rala malolen neu nggo.
31 And now, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will give him the name Jesus.
Nda doo sa te, muiru ena, Ma, dei fo bꞌonggi ana touꞌ sa. Ho musi babae naran, Yesus.
32 The child will be great and will be called “Son of the Most High,” and the Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David,
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 will reign over the descendants of Jacob for ever; And to his kingdom there will 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 ‘How can this be?’ Mary asked the angel. ‘For I have no husband.’
Te Maria natane Gabriel nae, “Au, nda feꞌe sunggu o tou esa sa boe! Taꞌo bee fo au bisa uiru?”
35 ‘The Holy Spirit will descend on you,’ answered the angel, ‘and the Power of the Most High will overshadow you; and therefore the child will be called “holy,” and “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 Elizabeth, your cousin, is herself also expecting a son in her old age; and it is now the sixth month with her, though she 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 no promise from God will fail to be fulfilled.’
Huu, soaꞌ neu Lamatualain, basaꞌ e bisa dadꞌi!”
38 ‘I am the servant of the Lord,’ exclaimed Mary. ‘Let it be with me as you have said.’ Then the angel left 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 Soon after this Mary set out, and made her way quickly into the hill-country, to a town in 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 there she went into Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth.
41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child moved within her, and Elizabeth herself 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 aloud, ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is your unborn child!
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 But how have I this honour, 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, as soon as your greeting reached my ears, the child moved within me with delight!
Leleꞌ rala uma fee hara sodꞌa-moleꞌ neu au, ma ana ngga natingga-nasamba tuteꞌ sia ambu ngga huu namahoꞌo.
45 Happy indeed is she who believed that the promise which she received from the Lord would be fulfilled.’
Lamatualain natudꞌu rala malolen neu nggo, huu mumuhere mae, Ana nae tao tungga hehelu-fufulin.”
46 And Mary said: ‘My soul exalts the Lord,
Maria olaꞌ nae, “Mia au rala ngga, au soꞌu unanaru Lamatuaꞌ
47 and my spirit delights in God my Saviour,
Au rala ngga namahoꞌo, huu Lamatualain fee au masodꞌaꞌ!
48 for he has looked with favour on his humble servant girl. From now on 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 Almighty has 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 He has mercy on those who revere him in every generation.
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 ‘Mighty are the deeds of his arm! He has scattered the self-satisfied proud,
Ana pake koasan, fo tao atahori mana koaoꞌ ra ramue-raanggiꞌ.
52 he has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and he uplifts the humble,
Ana naꞌatutudꞌaꞌ atahori mana toꞌu koasa ra, huu sira rananaru ao nara. Te Ana soꞌu nananaru atahori mana maloe-madꞌae rala nara.
53 he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
Ana nahao atahori mana ndoeꞌ ra losa raꞌabeta, te Ana oi hendi atahori mamasuꞌi ra lao ro lima rouꞌ
54 ‘He has stretched out his hand to his servant Israel, ever mindful of his mercy,
Ana tulu-fali atahori Israꞌel nara, ma akaꞌ natudꞌu rala susuen neu se.
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 Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months, and then returned to her home.
Basa de, Maria leo no Elisabet losa fula telu. Dei de ana baliꞌ nisiꞌ umen sia Nasaret.
57 When Elizabeth’s time came, she gave birth to a son;
Leleꞌ fain losa ma, Elisabet bꞌonggi ana touꞌ sa.
58 and her neighbours and relatives, hearing of the great goodness of the Lord to her, came to share her joy.
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 A week later they met to circumcise the child, and were about to call him Zechariah after 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 when his mother spoke up, ‘No, he is to be called John.’
Te inan nda nau sa nae, “Nda taꞌo naa sa! Naran, musi Yohanis!”
61 ‘You have no relation of that name!’ they exclaimed;
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 the child’s father, to find out what he wished the child to be called.
Boe ma ara laes Sakaria, fo rae rahine nae babꞌae anaꞌ a naran neu se.
63 Asking for a writing tablet, he wrote the words – “His name is John.” Everyone was surprised
Sakaria laes noꞌe fatu lei. Ara fee, de ana suraꞌ nae, “Naran Yohanis!” Boe ma basa atahori ra titindindii.
64 and immediately Zechariah recovered his voice and the use of his tongue, and began to bless God.
Aiboiꞌ ma, Sakaria maa maꞌaꞌeꞌekun, bangganaꞌu neuꞌ ena. Boe ma ana soꞌu koa-kio Lamatualain.
65 All their neighbours were awe-struck at this, and throughout the hill-country of Judea the whole story was much talked about.
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 All who heard it kept it in mind, asking one another – ‘What can this child be destined to become?’ For the Power 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 Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and, speaking under inspiration, said:
Basa ma, Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren masoꞌ nisiꞌ Sakaria. Naa de ana olaꞌ nae,
68 ‘Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who has visited his people and wrought their deliverance,
Koa-kio Lamatuaꞌ, atahori Israꞌel Lamatuan! Huu nema de tefa-soi nala atahori nara ena, naa fo ara afiꞌ onaꞌ ate fai.
69 and has raised up for us the strength of our salvation in the house of his servant David –
Lamatuaꞌ soꞌu nala Atahori sa koasan manaseliꞌ, fo ana fee masodꞌaꞌ neu nggita. Eni ia, laoꞌ mia mane Daud tititi-nonosin.
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 hands of all who hate us,
Ia naa nae mboꞌi nggita mia musu tara, ma atahori mana rala nara mera ro nggita.
72 showing mercy to our ancestors, and mindful of his sacred covenant.
Ana natudꞌu rala malolen neu bei-baꞌi tara, huu akaꞌ nasanedꞌa hehelu-fufulin neu se, fo Ana henggenee no baꞌi Abraham a.
73 This was the oath which he swore to our ancestor Abraham –
74 that we should be rescued from the hands of our enemies,
Ana mboꞌiꞌ nggita mia musu tara ena, fo ata bisa beꞌutee neu E, ma sudꞌi tamatau fai.
75 and should serve him without fear in holiness and righteousness, in his presence all our days.
Ana mboꞌiꞌ nggita ena, fo tasodꞌa takandoo no ndoo-tetuꞌ ma meumareꞌ sia matan.
76 And you, child, will be called prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to make ready his way,
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 his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness 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 dawn will break on us from heaven,
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 who live in darkness and the shadow of death, and guide our feet into the way of peace.’
80 The child grew and became strong in spirit, and he lived in the wilds until the time came for his appearance before 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.
