< Luke 1 >

1 Seeing that many have attempted to draw up a narrative of the facts which are received with full assurance among us
kulyuve mwoghopua Tiofilo avaanhu vinga valembile imhola isa Yesu Kilisite ndavule silyavombike kulyusue.
2 on the authority of those who were from the beginning eye-witnesses and were devoted to the service of the divine Message,
valembile imhola isi ndavule tulyapangilue na vano valyalolile na maaso ghave, navano valyasipulisie kuhuma vuvutengulilo vwake.
3 it has seemed right to me also, after careful investigation of the facts from their commencement, to write for you, most noble Theophilus, a connected account,
ulwakuva nilondile vunono uvwakyang'haani vwa mhola sa Yesu vuhuma vuvutengulilo lino najune nivwene lunono kukulembela isi sooni muvutavike.
4 that you may fully know the truth of the things which you have been taught by word of mouth.
neke ulukagule ulwakyang'haani lwa mbombo sino ukavulanisivue.
5 There was in the time of Herod, the king of Judaea, a priest of the name of Zechariah, belonging to the class of Abijah. He had a wife who was a descendant of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
mu fighono fya Helode untwa ghwa Yudea, pwealyale untekesi jumonga juno alyale ikemelua Sakalia ughwa lukolo lwa Abia un'dala ghwake alyahumile muvaliive va Haluni, ni litavua lyake alyale ikemelua Elisabeti.
6 They were both of them upright before God, blamelessly obeying all the Lord's precepts and ordinances.
voni van valyale vagholofu pa maaso gha Nguluve amaghendele ghale ghasita kukuvapika mundaghilo sooni munjovele ja Mutwa.
7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren; and both of them were far advanced in life.
neke navalyale nu mwana ulwakuva uElisabeti alyale mughumba na kukavalilo akuo voni vale vaghogholofijo.
8 Now while he was doing priestly duty before God in the prescribed course of his class,
lino lulyahumile kuuti uSakalia alyale nu Mhepo umwimike kuvutavike vwa Nguluve. akalutile nuvutavike vwa vutekesi kuhumila mu vutavike vwa ludimo lwake.
9 it fell to his lot--according to the custom of the priesthood--to go into the Sanctuary of the Lord and burn the incense;
kwevulyale uvutavike uvwa kuvomba mu nyumba ja Nguluve veni umuunhu untekesi, veni idalikila akasalulua ikipugha akingila mu nhumba ja Mutwa akanyanya uvufumba.
10 and the whole multitude of the people were outside praying, at the hour of incense.
ilipugha lyoni lya vaanhu vakava vikufunya kunji ye vinyanya uvusumba.
11 Then there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense;
unyaMhola ghwa Mutwa akamwumila na kukwiima ulubale lwa luvoko lwa ndia kufitekelelo kuno vinyanyila uvusumba.
12 and Zechariah on seeing him was agitated and terrified.
uSakalia akoghopa ye alwaghile ulutetemo lulyamughwila.
13 But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your petition has been heard: and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call his name John.
neke unyaMhola akam'bula kuuti, ulekaghe pikwoghopa Sakalia ulwakuva ulufunyo lwako lupulikike. undala ghwako uElisabeti ikukuholela umwana ilitavua lyake ghukun'kemela Yohani.
14 Gladness and exultant joy shall be yours, and many will rejoice over his birth.
ghuliva nu lukelo na kuhovoka, na vinga vikuhovokela kuholua kwa mwene.
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; no wine or fermented drink shall he ever drink; but he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from the very hour of his birth.
ulwakuva iliva nu vuvaha kuhuma kwa Mutwa ujuo nanganyisaghe nambe kimonga kino kighasia. looli ingufu sa Mhepo umwimike siiva nu mwene kuhuma pano ali mulileme lwa ng'iina.
16 Many of the descendants of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God;
na vaanhu vinga ava Silaeli ilikuvagomosiagha kwa Nguluve uMutwa ghwave.
17 and he will be His forerunner in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn fathers' hearts to the children, and cause the rebellious to walk in the wisdom of the upright, to make a people perfectly ready for the lord."
ujuo ilikumulongolela uMutwa mu ngufu nu mwojo ndavule alyale uEliya kusambania mu ngufu sa Mhepo uMwimike neve vano navikumwoghopa vighendagha muluhala lwa vano valweli. ikuvavombela ndiki kukuvavika kwa Mutwa avaanhu vano vaghelanisivue vwimila jake.
18 "By what proof," asked Zechariah, "shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is far advanced in years."
uSakalia akam'bula unyaMhola, “niwesia ndani kukagula ili? ulwakuva une nili nsehe nu n'dala ghwango na maka ghake ghali minga kyongo”.
19 "I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God," answered the angel, "and I have been sent to talk with you and tell you this good news.
unyaMhola akamwamula na kumb'ula, une nene Gabilieli, nejuno nikwima pavulongolo pa Nguluve. nisung'ilue kukuvuula, kukuletela iMhola inofu iji.
20 And now you will be dumb and unable to speak until the day when this has taken place; because you did not believe my words--words which will be fulfilled at their appointed time."
kange lolagha, nungajove kinu ghuva kimie nungawesie kujova kuhanga ikighono kila pano isi siva sihumile. ulu lwe ulwakuva ukakunilue kukwitika amasio ghango ghano mu nsiki ghiva ghavombike.
21 Meanwhile the people were waiting for Zechariah, and were surprised that he stayed so long in the Sanctuary.
lino avaanhu valyale vikumughula uSakalia. valyadeghile kuuti alyale itumila unsiki mwinga ku nyumba inyimike ja kufunyila.
22 When, however, he came out, he was unable to speak to them; and they knew that he must have seen a vision in the Sanctuary; but he kept making signs to them and continued dumb.
neke ye ahumile kunji, akakunilue kujova navo. pe aveene vakakagula kuuti, luvonike lumonga mu nyuma inyimike neke umwene akava ihufia lumonga na mavoko. akajigha kinunu.
23 When his days of service were at an end, he went to his home;
ye fisilile ifighono fyakuvomba imbombo jakilekesi ayavukile kugomoka kunyumba jake.
24 and in course of time his wife Elizabeth conceived, and kept herself secluded five months.
pambele uSakalia akavuja kukaja kuhuma ku mbombo sake sakitekesi un'dala ghwake akava n'kunue, akifisa amesi ghahaano akajova.
25 "Thus has the Lord dealt with me," she said, "now that He has graciously taken away my reproach among men."
“ulwakuva lwe luno uMutwa ambombile une ye andolile kulughano lwoni kukumbusikisia isoni pa maaso gha vaanhu”
26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,
ye ghufikile umwesi ghwa n'tanda pavukunue vwa Elisabeti uNguluve akatuma unyaMhola uGabilieli kuluta mu iisi ja Galilaya ilitavua ilinge Nasaleti,
27 to a maiden betrothed to a man of the name of Joseph, a descendant of David. The maiden's name was Mary.
kwa mhinja juno akatambulwagha Maliya. kwa mhinja juno alyatunilue nu mughosi ilitavua lyake ghwe Yosefu. umuholua mukikolo kya Davidi nilitavua lya mhinja akakemeluagha ghwe Maliya.
28 So Gabriel went into the house and said to her, "Joy be to you, favoured one! the Lord is with you."
unyaMhola ye afikile akati, “nikukuhungila uve ghwe juno usungukilue nu Mutwa, uMutwa alinuve;
29 She was greatly agitated at his words, and wondered what such a greeting meant.
amasio ghanyaMhola ghaka mangajisia kyongo mu mwojo ghwake na alyaghamanyile kiki unyaMhola ihungila hungila iji kidegho.
30 But the angel said, "Do not be frightened, Mary, for you have found favour with God.
unyaMhola akam'bula “nungoghopaghe Maliya ulwakuva uNguluve akusungukile.
31 You will conceive in your womb and bear a son; and you are to call His name JESUS.
lolagha ghuva nu vukunue, ghupapagha umwana neke ghukun'kemelagha ilitavua ghwe Yesu.
32 He will be great and He will be called 'Son of the Most High.' And the Lord God will give Him the throne of His forefather David;
iliva m'baha ikemeluagha mwana ghwa juno alikukyanya kyongo, uMutwa uNguluve neke ikumpelagha ikitengo kya vutwa kya Davidi uvuse.
33 and He will be King over the House of Jacob for the Ages, and of His Kingdom there will be no end." (aiōn g165)
itemagha uvutwa mu lukolo lwa Yakovo uvusila nakusila lusiku. (aiōn g165)
34 "How can this be," Mary replied, "seeing that I have no husband?"
uMaliya akam'bula unyaMhola ili, iva ndani ulwakuva une nanighelile kuvwafuka nu mughosi ghwoghwoni?
35 The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for this reason your holy offspring will be called 'the Son of God.'
unyamhola akamwamula akam'bula “uMhepo uMwimike ikwisa kulyuve. ni ngufu sa juno alikukyanya kyongo sikwisa kulyuve. pe lino umwimike juno iholua ikemeluagha mwana ghwa Nguluve.
36 And see, your relative Elizabeth--she also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
lolagha ulukololuo uElisabeti alinuukunue vwa mwana mufighono fyake fya vughogholo, ughu ghwe mwesi ghwa n'tanda juno valyatile mughumba.
37 For no promise from God will be impossible of fulfilment."
ulwakuva kwa Nguluve nakwekili kino kimuulemile”
38 "I am the Lord's maidservant," Mary replied; "may it be with me in accordance with your words!" And then the angel left her.
uMaliya akajova akati, une nilim'baanda ghwa Mutwa neke luuleke luve luve kulyune ndavule ujovile” pe pano unyaMhola akavuka iluta.
39 Not long after this, Mary rose up and went in haste into the hill country to a town in Judah.
ye fikikile ifighono nde filingi uMaliya avuka ng'haning'habi na kuluta ku iisi jimonga jino jale nyafidunda, ija Yudea.
40 Here she came to the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth;
ukuo akingila mu nyumba ija Sakalia na kumwungila uElisabeti,
41 and as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the babe leapt within her. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
lino pe lulyahumile kuuti,” uElisabeti ye apulike uluhungilo lwa Maliya. umwana mu lileme akaomoka tomoka, neke uElisabeti ingufu isa Mhepo uMwimike sikamwisila.
42 and uttered a loud cry of joy. "Blest among women are you," she said, "and the offspring of your body is blest!
pe akatengula pijova kungufu akati, “ufunyilue uve mukighavo kya vakijuuva najumwana juno alimulileme lyako afunyilue.
43 But why is this honour done me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
neke lulindani kulyune ungiina ghwa Mutwa lunoghile pikwisa kulyune?
44 For, the moment your greeting reached my ears, the babe within me leapt for joy.
ulwakuva lolagha ye lupulikike mu mbughulutu sango ilisio lya kuhungila kulyuve umwana mulileme lyango atomwike nu lukelo.
45 And blessed is she who has believed, for the word spoken to her from the Lord shall be fulfilled."
neke afunyilue umukijuva jula juno alyitike kuuti vulyahumila uvya kyang'haani vwa sino alyavulilue kuhuma kwa Mutwa”.
46 Then Mary said: "My soul extols the Lord,
uMaliya akati, inimbula jango jikunfunya uMutwa,
47 And my spirit triumphs in God my Saviour;
naghumwojo ghwango ghuvovwike mwa Nguluve umpoki ghwango.
48 Because He has not turned from His maidservant in her lowly position; For from this time forward all generations will account me happy,
ulwakuva avulolile uvukotofu vwa m'banda ghwake umhinja. lolagha kuhuma mu fisina fyoni vikughonelagha nilifunyua.
49 Because the mighty One has done great things for me--Holy is His name!--
ulwakuva umwene unya sooni avombile sino mbaha kylyune. ni litavua lyake ilyimike.
50 And His compassion is, generation after generation, Upon those who fear Him.
uvukola vwake kuhuma ikisina ni kisina ku vano vikumwopa umwene.
51 He has manifested His supreme strength. He has scattered those who were haughty in the thoughts of their hearts.
avonisie ingufu mu luvoko lyake avapalanisie vala vano vakighiniagha mu masaghe gha mooja ghave.
52 He has cast monarchs down from their thrones, And exalted men of low estate.
avisisie paasi avana va vatwa kuhuma mufitengo fyave ifya vutwa na kukuvatosia kukyanya vano vakotofu.
53 The hungry He has satisfied with choice gifts, But the rich He has sent empty-handed away.
alyavapelile avanya njala ifinu ifi nono looli avamofu avadagile na mavoko gheene.
54 His servant Israel He has helped, Remembering His compassion--
ahumisie uvutangilisi kwa Isilaeli um'bombi ghake, neke akumuke kuvonesia uvuhugu.
55 In fulfillment of His promises to our forefathers--For Abraham and his posterity for ever." (aiōn g165)
(ndavule alyajovile kuvanhaata vitu) kwa Abulahamu ni fisina fyake kuvusila na kusila” (aiōn g165)
56 So Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months, and then returned home.
uMalia alikalile nu Elisabeti hwene mesi ghatatu pepano akagomoka ku nyumba ja mwene.
57 Now when Elizabeth's full time was come, she gave birth to a son;
lino unsiki ghulyafikile ughwa Elisabeti kupaapa umwana un'dimi.
58 and her neighbours and relatives heard how the Lord had had great compassion on her; and they rejoiced with her.
avabading'ani vake na vanyalukolo vake valyapulike ndavule uMutwa atupelanisie mu vuhugu vwake, kange vakahovoka palikimo nu mwene.
59 And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and were going to call him Zechariah, after his father.
lino kilyahumile ikighono kya lekela kwoni valisile kukivungo najumwana lulyanoghile vampele ilitavua lyake ghwe Sakalia kulwiho lwa vise.
60 His mother, however, said, "No, he is to be called John."
looli ung'ina akamula akati, “ndali” ikemelua ghwe Yohani”
61 "There is not one of your family," they said, "who has that name."
vakam'bula napwale nambe jumo mulukolo juno itambulua ku litavua ili”
62 They asked his father by signs what he wished him to be called.
pe vakam'bombela ikimanyilo uvise kuuti, umwene iti ilitavua akemelue veni.
63 So he asked for a writing-tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they all wondered.
uvise akalonda ikisegho akalemba “ilitavua ghwe Yohani” voni vakadegha ku ili
64 Instantly his mouth and his tongue were set free, and he began to speak and bless God.
ku kenyemukila umulomo ghake ghukadinduka nu lumili lwake lukava vuleka akajova na kukumughinia uNguluve
65 And all who lived round about them were filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judaea reports of all these things were spread abroad.
uludwesi lukavisila voni vano valikalile pipi navoimbombo isio sikakwilana mu iisi jooni ja fidunda fya Yudea,
66 All who heard the story treasured it in their memories. "What then will this child be?" they said. For the lord's hand was indeed with him.
na voni vano valyaghapulike vakaghagadilila mu mwoojo ghave, vakati umwana uju ghwa ndani ndani?” ulwakuva uluvoko lwa Mutwa lulyale palikimo naghwo.
67 And Zechariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke in a rapture of praise.
ivise ghwa Sakalia akapeluula ingufu nu Mhepo uMwimike akatengula kuhumia uvuvili akatisagha,
68 "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel," he said, "Because He has not forgotten His people but has effected redemption for them,
aghinwaghe uMutwa, uNguluve ghwa Isilaeli, ulwakuva atangile kange na kukuvavanga avaanhu vake.
69 And has raised up a mighty Deliverer for us In the house of David His servant--
atupelile uvupoki kuhuma mu nyumba ja nyambombo ghwake u Davidi, kuhuma mukikolo kya m'bombi ghwake uDavidi.
70 As He has spoken from all time by the lips of His holy Prophets-- (aiōn g165)
ndavule alyajovile mumulomo ghwa vavili vake vano kwevalyale kuhuma kuvukuulu. (aiōn g165)
71 To deliver us from our foes and from the power of all who hate us.
alatupoka kuhuma kuvalugu viitu na kuhuma mumavoko ghavaanhu vooni vano vikutukalalila.
72 He dealt pitifully with our forefathers, And remembered His holy covenant,
alavomba ndiki kuvonesia ulusungu kuvanhaata vitu na kukumbuka ululaghilo lwake ulwimike.
73 The oath which He swore to Abraham our forefather,
ulujigho luno alayjovile kwa Abulahamu unhaata ghwitu.
74 To grant us to be rescued from the power of our foes And so render worship to Him free from fear,
alyajighile na kunkangasia kuuti lunoghile pikum'bombela umwene kisila vwoghofi pano tupokilue pihuma mumavoko ghavalugu viitu.
75 In piety and uprightness before Him all our days.
muvwimike na muvagholofu uvwakyang'haani pa maaso ghake ni fighono fyake fyoni.
76 And you moreover, O child, shall be called Prophet of the Most High; For you shall go on in front before the Lord to prepare the way for Him,
Ena, najuve mwana ghukemeluagha uli mb'ili ghw ajuno ali kukyanya fiijo ulwakuva alyaghendelelagha ku maaso ghwa Mutwa kuuti ikuvavonesia isila. neke kukunosekesia isila avaanhu pano ikwisagha umwene.
77 To give to His People a knowledge of salvation In the forgiveness of their sins,
kukuvavula avaanhu vake kuuti valapyanilwagha valavuvunagha uvupoki kusila kusila ja vupoki vwa nyfi saave.
78 Through the tender compassion of our God, Through which the daybreak from on high will come to us,
ili lilyahumile ulwakuva ja lusungu lwa Nguluve ghwitu ulwakuva ilijuva kuhuma kukyanya likutwisila.
79 Dawning on those who now dwell in the darkness and shadow of death--To direct our feet into the path of peace."
kukutumulikila ku vano vikalile mu ng'isi nu lumwighighi ghwa vafue alavomba ndiki kulongosia amaghulu ghitu kusila ja lutengano.”
80 And the child grew and became strong in character, and lived in the Desert till the time came for him to appear publicly to Israel.
lino umwana jula akakula na kuva nyangufu mwa Mhepo uMwimike. alikalile kulihaka kuhanga unsiki ghuno akavonekagha ku vaSilaeli.
