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,
Mamih taengah aka soep tangtae hno kah cilol te muep a thuep tih boelrhai vaengah,
2 Even as they delivered them to us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
oltak kah tueihyoeih la aka om rhoek neh a tongcuek lamloh loh aka hmu rhep rhoek loh mamih taengah m'paek uh vanbangla,
3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write to thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
kai khaw khaeh khaeh boeih ka thuep koep tih hlangcong Theophilus nang taengah daek ham tluep ka poek.
4 That thou mayest know the certainty of those things, in which thou hast been instructed.
Te daengah ni hiluepnah ol loh n'thuituen te khaw na ming eh.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abijah: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
Judea manghai Herod tue vaeng ah, Abijah rhoihui khosoih pakhat, a ming ah Zekhariah te om tih Elizabeth aka ming nah Aaron canu te a yuu nah.
6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Pathen hmaiah a dueng la bok om rhoi. Boeipa kah rhilam neh olpaek cungkuem dongah cuemthuek la pongpa rhoi.
7 And they had no child, because Elisabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
Tedae Elizabeth tah cakol la om tih camoe a om kolla a kum khaw patong la bok om rhoi coeng.
8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,
Pathen hmaiah a khosoih vaengkah bangla anih rhoihui te aitlaeng loh a pha.
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.
Khosoih kah khosing bangla, Boeipa kah bawkim khuiah kun tih hmueihphum ham a yo.
10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the time of incense.
Bo-ul tue vaengah pilnam khuikah aka om rhaengpuei boeih khaw poeng ah thangthui uh.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
Te vaengah Boeipa kah puencawn tah a taengah a phoe pah tih bo-ul hmueihtuk kah bantang ah pai.
12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
Zekhariah loh a thuen doela a sawt dongah rhihnah loh anih a tlak thil.
13 But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
Tedae anih te puencawn pakhat loh, “Zekhariah rhih boeh, nang kah rhenbihnah te a hnatun coeng dongah na yuu Elizabeth loh nang ham capa pakhat han cun vetih, a ming te Johan la na khue ni.
14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
Nang ham omngaihnah neh kohoenah la om vetih anih kah rhuirhong dongah boeih omngaih uh ni.
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, even from his mother’s womb.
Boeipa hmaiah a len la om vetih, misurtui neh yu te o loengloeng mahpawh. A manu bung khuiah a om vaengah Mueihla Cim neh baetawt ni.
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
Israel ca rhoek te a Boeipa Pathen taengla muep a mael puei ni.
17 And he shall go before him 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 just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
Anih tah a hmaiah Elijah kah mueihla neh thaomnah dongah lamhma ni. Pa rhoek kah thinko te ca rhoek taengla, lokhak rhoek te aka dueng lungcueinah dongla mael ni. Rhoekbah tangtae pilnam tah Boeipa ham a hmoel ni,” a ti nah.
18 And Zacharias said to the angel, How shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well advanced in years.
Te phoeiah Zekhariah loh puencawn taengah, “Hekah he Ba nen lae ka ming eh? Kai tah patong la ka om coeng tih ka yuu khaw a kum te ham coeng,” a ti nah.
19 And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak to thee, and to show thee these glad tidings.
Te dongah puencawn loh anih te a doo tih, “Kai tah Pathen hmaiah aka pai Gabriel ni, nang taengah he rhoek he phong ham neh thui ham n'tueih.
20 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
Tedae kai ol te na tangnah pawt dongah he he a soep nah khohnin duela olmueh la na om vetih na cal thai mahpawh ne. Amah tue ah ka ol te soep bit ni,” a ti nah.
21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
Te vaengah Zekhariah te aka lamso pilnam a om dongah bawkim khuiah a di te a ngaihmang uh.
22 And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he made signs to them, and remained speechless.
Ha thoeng vaengah tah amih te voek thai voel pawh. Te dongah bawkim khuiah a mangthui a hmuh coeng tila a ming uh. Te dongah Zekhariah loh amih taengah a lu a thuk tih olmueh la phat om.
23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
Amah kah thothueng khohnin te a cup la a om phoeiah tah amah im la cet.
24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Te khohnin phoeiah a yuu Elizabeth te vawn tih amah khaw hla nga thuh uh.
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days when he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
“Boeipa loh kai ham hnin at neh a saii tangloeng coeng, te nen ni hlang lakliah kai dongkah hnaelnah te khoe hamla n'hip,” a ti.
26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
Hla rhuk dongah Pathen taeng lamkah puencawn Gabriel te Galilee khopuei, a ming ah Nazareth la a tueih.
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
David imkhui kah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Joseph ham te oila a bae pah. Oila ming tah Mary ni.
28 And the angel came to her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Te phoeiah huta taengla kun tih, “A lungvat tangtae aw, omngaih lah, Boeipa tah nang taengah om pai,” a ti nah.
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered in her mind what manner of greeting this should be.
Tedae Mary te tekah olka dongah konglong ngaihit la om tih te toidalnah loh metla a om eh tila a poek.
30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
Puencawn loh anih te, “Mary rhih boeh, Pathen taengkah lungvatnah na dang coeng te.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
Te dongah bungvawn neh na yom tih capa na cun vaengah a ming te Jesuh sui ne.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give to him the throne of his father David:
Anih tah tanglue la om vetih Khohni capa tila a khue ni. Boeipa Pathen loh anih te a napa David kah ngolkhoel te a paek ni.
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
Jakob im ah kumhal due manghai pawn ni. A ram te khaw bawt ti om mahpawh,” a ti nah. (aiōn g165)
34 Then said Mary to the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
Te vaengah Mary loh puencawn taengah, “Hekah he metlam a om eh? tongpa khaw ka ming moenih,” a ti nah.
35 And the angel answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing who shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
Te dongah anih te puencawn loh a doo tih, “Mueihla Cim loh nang n'thoeng thil vetih, Khohni kah thaomnah te nang m'muek sak ni. Te dongah na cun te aka cim Pathen Capa tila a khue bal ni.
36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
Te phoeiah namah huiko Elizabeth te a patong soiah, camoe a yom van coeng ke. Te dongah cakol la a khue te tahae ah hla rhuk lo coeng.
37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Pathen kah olka boeih long tah a tloel nah moenih,” a ti nah.
38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
Te dongah Mary loh, “Boeipa kah salnu he, na olka bangla kai taengah om saeh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah puencawn tah anih taeng lamloh nong.
39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah;
Mary tah tekah khohnin ah thoo tih tlang kah Judah kho ah thahluenah neh cet.
40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and greeted Elisabeth.
Zekhariah im khuiah kun tih Elizabeth te a voek.
41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit:
Mary kah toidalnah te Elizabeth loh a yaak vaengah a bung khuikah cahni te soipet tih Elizabeth khaw Mueihla Cim neh baetawt.
42 And she spoke with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
Te vaengah tamlung neh pang khungdaeng tih, “Nang tah huta rhoek lakliah na yoethen coeng tih, nang bung kah a thaih te a yoethen coeng.
43 And why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Kai aih he metlam nim, ka boeipa kah a manu kai taengla ha pawk tarha he?
44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
Nang kah toidalnah ol te ka hna khuiah a kun vaengah tah, ka bung khuikah cahni loh kohoenah neh soipet he.
45 And blessed is she that believed: that there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
Te dongah Boeipa loh a thui te hmakhahnah om ni tila aka tangnah tah a yoethen,” a ti nah.
46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
Mary long khaw, “Boeipa te ka hinglu loh a oep.
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Ka mueihla tah ka khangkung Pathen dongah hlampan coeng.
48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
A salnu mathoe he a paelki thil coeng dongah tahae lamkah tah cadil boeih loh kai ng'uem uh pawn ni.
49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
Kai taengah thaom tloe la a saii dongah, a ming tah cim pai saeh.
50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
A rhennah tah amah aka rhih rhoek kah cadil cahma ham ni.
51 He hath shown strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
A ban neh a thaomnah a saii, a thinko kopoek ah buhueng aka pom te a taekyak.
52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
Mangpa rhoek a ngolkhoel lamloh a hlak tih, tlayae rhoek te a pomsang.
53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent away empty.
Bungpong rhoek te hno then neh a hah sak tih, khuehtawn rhoek a tlongtlai la a tueih.
54 He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
A rhennah te poek sak hamla a ca Israel te a bom.
A pa rhoek taengah a thui bangla, Abraham neh a tiingan taengah kumhal duela a khueh,” a ti. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
Mary te Elizabeth neh hla thum tluk hmaih a naeh phoeiah amah im la bal.
57 Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
Elizabeth te a om tue a pha coeng tih capa a cun.
58 And her neighbours and her cousins heard that the Lord had shown great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
Boeipa loh a rhennah te anih taengah a khueh tih, a oep te a huiko neh imben loh a yaak vaengah anih te a omngaih puei uh.
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.
Khohnin hnin rhet a lo vaengah camoe te yahvinrhet ham cet uh. Te vaengah anih te a napa ming Zekhariah la a khue uh.
60 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
Tedae a manu loh a doo tih, “Moenih, Johan la a khue ni,” a ti nah.
61 And they said to her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
Te vaengah anih taengah, “Hekah ming la a khue te na cako khuiah a om pawt ah,” a ti na uh.
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
Camoe metla khue a ngaih poek tila a napa te a yavaih uh.
63 And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marvelled.
Te vaengah cabael a hoe tih a daek hatah, “A ming tah Johan ni,” a ti tih boeih a ngaihmang uh.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, and praised God.
Te vaengah a hmui a lai te khaw pahoi a khui pah dongah cal tih Pathen te a uem.
65 And fear came on all that dwelt around them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.
Te vaengah amih tolvael rhoek boeih te rhihnah loh a pai thil. Te dongah hekah olka loh Judah tlang tom te boeih a ngae uh.
66 And all they that had 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.
Aka ya boeih loh a thinko khuiah a dueh uh tih, “Hekah camoe he metlam nim a om ve?” a ti uh. Tedae Boeipa kah kut loh anih te a om puei.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
A napa Zekhariah tah Mueihla Cim neh baetawt.
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
Te dongah a olphong neh, “A pilnam te a hip tih tlannah a saii dongah, Israel Pathen Boeipa tah uemom pai saeh.
69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
A taengom David im khuiah mamih ham khangnah kii a thoh sak.
Khosuen lamloh a tonghma ciim rhoek kah ka dongah a thui vanbangla, (aiōn g165)
71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
Mamih kah rhal rhoek neh mamih aka hmuhuet rhoek boeih kut lamkah khangnah,
72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
a pa rhoek taengah rhennah tueng sak ham neh a paipi ciim te poek sak ham,
73 The oath which he swore to our father Abraham,
a pa Abraham taengah olhlo neh a toemngam te mamih paek ham,
74 That he would grant to us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
amah taengah thothueng hamla rhal kut lamloh hoel n'hlawt coeng.
75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
Mamih kah khohnin rhoek boeih te amah hmaiah duengnah neh cimcaihnah ham ni.
76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
Te phoeiah, camoe, nang tah Khohni tonghma la n'khue vetih a longpuei rhoekbah ham Boeipa hmaiah na lamhma ni.
77 To give knowledge of salvation to his people by the remission of their sins,
Amih kah tholh khodawkngainah rhangneh a pilnam taengah khangnah mingnah a paek ni.
78 Through the tender mercy of our God; with which the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
Mamih Pathen kah rhennah om. Te nen te a sang lamkah khothoeng loh mamih n'hip.
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.
Dueknah mueihlip neh yinnah khuiah aka ngol rhoek ham te a tue vetih, mamih kah kho te ngaimongnah longpuei la hoihaeng ham ni,” a ti.
80 And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing to Israel.
Camoe tah rhoeng tih mueihla ah khaw rhaang. Te dongah Israel taengah a phoenah khohnin duela khosoek ah om.
