Luke 1
1 Many have taken on the work of putting together an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,
Vingi vitangile ukhuvikho vunonu amamenyu (simulizi) amamenyu galo ugukavombikhe kati yunyo,
2 just as they were passed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.
Nduvuvatupile ufwe, yufwe ukhuhuma khuvutengulilo twalolile na miho gito na vavombi va limenyu.
3 So it seemed good to me also, because I have accurately investigated everything from the beginning, to write an orderly account for you, 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 so that you might know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
Inave vwinogwa ulumanye uvwa yihwe li vwa mbombo iyumanyile.
5 In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a certain priest named Zechariah, from the division of Abijah. His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
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 They were both righteous before God, obeying all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
Voni vale va yilweli kuvulongolo kwa Nguluve; valikugenda khisita lunoninoni mu ndagilo nchoni ncha Nguluve.
7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both very old by this time.
Khange savakhale nu mwana, ulwa khuva u sabati ale gumba, khange voni vala vagogolo fincho.
8 Now it came about that Zechariah was in God's presence, carrying out the priestly duties in the order of his division.
Pwu lino yikhahumila ukhuva u sakhaliya ale va Nguluve, vwivomba imbombo ya vukuhani msamu ya mwene.
9 According to the customary way of choosing which priest would serve, he had been chosen by lot to enter into the temple of the Lord to burn incense.
Ukhukongana nu lwiho ulwa khuhala vi kuhani alikhu uvi ya khave ivomba, vahalaga ni kura ukhwingile mmtembile ya Nguluve nu ukhufukhutila uvumba.
10 The whole crowd of people was praying outside at the hour when the incense was burned.
Ikhipuga kyoni kya vanu lili kudova khunji unsikhi gwa kufukhutila uvumba.
11 Now an angel of the Lord appeared to him and stood at the right side of the incense altar.
Pwu usungwa va Nguluve akha ngumila nu khoima khunelyo khwu nekhelo ya khufukhutila.
12 When Zechariah saw him, he was terrified and fear fell on him.
Usakhelia akha dwada vu ambene uvudwanchi vukhagwila.
13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son. You will 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 You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.
Vwiva nu luhekhelo nu khukimagila, khenye vingi vikhv khuhovokhele ukhu holiwa khumwene
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He must never drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit 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 Many of the people of Israel will be turned to the Lord their God.
Na vanu vingi va mu Israeli vi vipindukha kwa nkuludeva Unguluve va vene.
17 He will go before the face of the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him.”
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 Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I know this? For I am an old man and my wife is very old.”
Sakhalia akambula usungwa, “Nikulumanyandakhekhe ukhulu manya eeli? Ulwakhuva une niligogolo na yu ndala vanga imgakha gya mwene givile mingi fincho.”
19 The angel answered and said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, to bring you this good news.
Usung'wa akhambula akhata, “Une nene gabileli, uvikhwima pamiho ga Nguluve nikhasuhiwe kukhumbula, ukhukhugegela inongwa iyi inonu.
20 Behold! You will be silent, unable to speak, until the day these things take place. This is because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at the right time.”
Ulolage, sayawilola, vwivamye, sukhanchove mpaka isikhu yila yakhave yihumila. Yehumile ulwakhuva amamenyu ganyo yagihumila khunsikhi unonu.”
21 Now the people were waiting for Zechariah. They were surprised that he was spending so much time in the temple.
Pwu lino avanu vali khugulila u Sakhalia. Walikudega ukhuta unsikhi gwoni ale mtembile.
22 But when he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized that he had seen a vision while he was in the temple. He kept on making signs to them and remained silent.
Vwu ahumile khunji alikhulemwa ukhunchova na vene. Vakhalumanya ukhuta upile amagono fivi vwali mtembile, alikhupi vonesya mufihwano akhanchiga mye.
23 It came about that when the days of his service were over, he went to his house.
Yukhahumela ukhuta amanchuva ga vuvombi vwa mwene vuvusilile akhahega ukhuvuya khumiave.
24 After these days, his wife Elizabeth conceived and for five months she kept herself hidden. She said,
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 “This is what the Lord has done for me when he looked at me with favor in order to take away my shame before people.”
“Ili lyu utwa avombile khulione upwa khandolile kwu vupendelelo ahenche isoni khuliune khange pamiho ga vanu.”
26 In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in 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 engaged to a man whose name was Joseph. He belonged to 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 He came to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
Akhincha khumwene nukhuta, “Nikukhuponia, uveve vyu pokhile uluhungu uluvaha! Untwa ahovwikhe nuve.”
29 But she was very confused by his words and she wondered what kind of greeting this could be.
Limo amamenyu ga Nsungwa ga nja nchiche nu khusifa ukhulumanya khekhi unusungwa akhatile nikhu khupoia (salaam) ukhuu nchakhudege khu mwene.
30 The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
Unsungwa akhambula, “Ulekhe ukhu dwadwa, Maliya, ulwakhuva vwupilile uhehungu ukhuhuma khwa Nguluve.
31 See, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son. You will call his name 'Jesus.'
Khange lola, vwigega uheleme mulitumbu lyakho vwihola umwana. Nayuve yavukhumwilaga ilitavwa lyamwene vi 'Yisu.'
32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David.
Iva mmbaha ikwilangiwaga mwa ve khukhanya fincho. Utwa Unguluve ikhumpa ikhigoda ikhinyahwangulo ikya Ndaveli ubaha va mwene.
33 He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his kingdom.” (aiōn g165)
Ayilongoncha pa kyanya pa kwumbu kho kya Yakhobo myakha gyoni nu ludeva lwa mwene lwiva luchila vumalilo. (aiōn g165)
34 Mary said to the angel, “How will this happen, since I have not slept with any man?”
Umaliya akhambula unsung'wa, ili lihumela ndekhekhi ulwakhuva sanegele nigone nu ng'osi uvi ave, nchaga?
35 The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will come over you. So the holy one to be born will 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 See, your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age. This is the sixth month for her, she 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 nothing will be impossible for God.”
Uhwakhuva lisikhuli ilyo likhuntola Unguluve.”
38 Mary said, “See, I am the female servant of the Lord. Let it be for me according to your message.” Then the angel left 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 Then Mary arose in those days and quickly went into the hill country, to a city in Judea.
Pwu pafigono ifyo Umaliya akhahega khimbivi mbivi akhaluta khukhelunga khya twamba, khu jini gwa khilonga ya Yuta.
40 She went into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
Khaluta mnyumba ya Sakhaliya nu khumponia Uelisabeti.
41 Now it happened that when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby in her womb jumped, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Pyu yikhahumila ukhuta Usabeti avile apolikhe uheponio mwene akhanchumba, nu Sabeti akhadiga umepo umbalenche.
42 She raised her voice and said loudly, “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 Why has it happened 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 see, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb jumped for joy.
Ulwakhuva, likhavile lipulikhikhemu mbulukhutu nchango ilimenyu lya khuponia uve umwana mwandileme lyango akhanchumbo nu hehovokho.
45 Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of the things that were told her from the Lord.”
Khange asayivwage dala uvi alikwidikha ukhuta vukhala vuhumila khuvumalilo vwa Nkhuludeva.”
46 Mary said, “My soul praises the Lord,
Mariamu akasema, nafsi yangu inamsifu Bwana,
47 and my spirit has rejoiced in God my savior.
Nu mepo yango yihovwikhile mwa Nguluve umpokhi vango.
48 For he has looked at the low condition of his female servant. For see, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
Uhwa khuva alolile pasi pa mbombi va mwene udala. Lola, ukhuhuma lino ifipepo fyoni fikhunyi langaga insayiwa.
49 For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and his name is holy.
Ulwa khuva umwene ummanyi avombile imbombo imbaha khuliune, khulitavwa lya mwene ilivalenche.
50 His mercy lasts from generation to generation for those who fear him.
Uluhungu lwa mwene lutama khipaponi khipato khuvala avikhudwada umwene.
51 He has displayed strength with his arm; he has scattered those who were proud about the thoughts of their hearts.
Avonisye amakha kwu khwa khivokho kya mwene; avahaselihimie vala ava likwiginie pa masago ga numbula yu vene.
52 He has thrown down princes from their thrones and he has raised up those of low condition.
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, but the rich he has sent away empty.
Alikuvigusya avalininjala kwu finu ifinonu, pwu atayili avaswimile mavakho gene.
54 He has given help to Israel his servant, so as to remember to show 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 Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and then returned to her house.
Umaliya akhatama nu Elisabeti iminchi gidatu ndee pwa khavuya kwu nyumba ya mwene.
57 Now the time had come for Elizabeth to deliver her baby and she gave birth to a son.
Pwu lino unsikhi gukhavile guhege lile ugwa Elisabeti ukhuhola umwana udimi.
58 Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.
Awambunchege na vahukhulolwe vakhapu likha umwu unkuludeva vwa kunchinche uluhunge hwa mwene, pwu vakhahovokha paninie nu mwene.
59 Now it happened on the eighth day that they came to circumcise the child. They would have called him “Zechariah,” 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 But his mother answered and said, “No. He will be called John.”
Pwa mama va mwene akhamula akhata, “Ate; ikwilangiwa Yohana.”
61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”
Vakhambula, asikhuli nu via liyumo mukikolo kyako uviikwila ngiwa nilitawa ili.”
62 They made signs to his father as to how he wanted him to be named.
Vakhambombela ikhimanyilo udadaye ukhumbula umwene ukhuta alikunongwa ampe ilitavwa iliveni.
63 His father asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” They all were astonished at this.
Udadaye alikhunongwa ikbavo kya kwandika, pwu akhandikha, “Ilitavwa lya mwene vi Yohana.” Voni valikhudegu pa ili.
64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue was freed. He spoke and praised God.
Unsikhi ndugu undomo kwa mwene gulichadinduliwa nu lulimi lwa mwene lulikukyega. Alikhunchova nu khuginia u Nguluve.
65 Fear came on all who lived around them. All these matters were spread throughout all the hill country of Judea.
Uwudwanchi vukhevinchele voni uvuvatamaga paninie nevene. Imbimbo nchikhagenda ikhulunga kyoni ikya fyamba fya Yuta.
66 All who heard them stored them in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child become?” For 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 His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying,
Udadaye va Sakhaliya adigile umepo umbalanche nu khuhumya uvunyamalago, akhata,
68 “Praised be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has come to help and he has accomplished redemption for his people.
“Aginivwage Unkuludeva, Unguluve va Israeli, ulwakhuva atangile nu khuvombela uvapokhi vwa vanu va mwene.
69 He has raised up a 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,
Nduvu anchovvile kwu ndomo gwa va nyamalago va mwene uvulalepwo imisi khi ikya khatele. (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us.
Ikhutupokha khuvavivi vito nu khumyammavoko ga voni avikhutuvipila.
72 He will do this to show mercy 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 that he spoke to Abraham our father.
Ulwidiko ulwu anchovile kwa Abrahamu udada vito.
74 He swore to grant to us that we, having been delivered out of the hand of our enemies, would 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 our days.
Mu vuvalanche nu vwa yehweli mbolongolo mmwene ifigono fyeto fyoni.
76 Yes, and you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his paths, to prepare people for his coming,
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 to his people by the forgiveness of their sins.
Ukhuvavula avanu ukhuta ya vipokhi vwa kwu njila ya khusyikheliwa imbivincha vene.
78 This will happen because of the tender mercy of our God, because of which the sunrise from on high will come to help us,
Ili yalihumila ulwakhuva khisa kya Nguluve vito, ulwakhuva ilinehuva ukhuhuma khukhenya likhutinchela
79 to shine on those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death. He will do this to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
ukhuvala khuvala avitama mhisi na mnu mwafuli gwa vufwe ayivombavo ugalongoncha amalunde gitu kwu njila ya lunonchehencho.”
80 Now the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
Pwu, mwana ula akhavula nu khuva na makha mumepo pwa akatama mchagalawe mpakha ihincho lya khuhumila umwene khu Israeli.
