Luke 1
1 Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled amongst us,
Satria maro no efa nanoratra nandahatra tantara ny amin’ ny zavatra izay efa tanteraka tamintsika tokoa,
2 even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
araka izay efa noraisintsika natolotry ny vavolombelona izay sady nahita maso no efa mpitory ny teny hatramin’ ny voalohany:
3 it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus;
dia sitrako koa, rehefa nofotorako tsara ny zavatra rehetra hatramin’ ny niandohany, ny hanoratra izany aminao araka ny filaharany, ry Teofilo tsara indrindra,
4 that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
mba hahafantaranao tsara fa mafy orina ny teny izay nampianarina anao.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zechariah, of the priestly division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisheva.
Tamin’ ny andron’ i Heroda, mpanjakan’ i Jodia, nisy mpisorona anankiray atao hoe Zakaria, isan’ ny antokon’ i Abia; ary ny vadiny dia avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Arona, Elizabeta no anarany.
6 They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
Ary samy marina teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra izy mivady sady nitondra tena tsy nanan-tsiny araka ny didy sy ny fitsipika rehetra nomen’ ny Tompo.
7 But they had no child, because Elisheva was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
Ary tsy nanan-janaka izy, fa momba Elizabeta; ary samy efa antitra izy mivady.
8 Now while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his division
Ary nony nanao raharaham-pisoronana teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra Zakaria araka ny fifandimbiasan’ ny antokony,
9 according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
araka ny fanao amin’ ny fisoronana, dia anjarany araka ny filokana ny hiditra ao amin’ ny tempolin’ ny Tompo ka handoro ditin-kazo manitra.
10 The whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
Ary ny vahoaka rehetra nitoetra teo ivelany nivavaka tamin’ ny ora fandoroana ny ditin-kazo manitra.
11 An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
Ary nisy anjelin’ ny Tompo niseho taminy teo ankavanan’ ny alitara fandoroana ny ditin-kazo manitra.
12 Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
Ary nony nahita azy Zakaria, dia taitra loatra izy ka raiki-tahotra.
13 But the angel said to him, “Don’t be afraid, Zechariah, because your request has been heard. Your wife, Elisheva, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name Yochanan.
Fa hoy ilay anjely taminy: Aza matahotra, ry Zakaria; fa efa nohenoina ny fangatahanao, ka Elizabeta vadinao dia hiteraka zazalahy aminao, ary Jaona no hataonao anarany.
14 You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.
Ary ho faly sy ho ravoravo ianao; ary maro no hifaly amin’ ny hahaterahany.
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.
Fa ho lehibe eo anatrehan’ ny Tompo izy ary tsy hisotro divay na toaka sady hofenoina ny Fanahy Masìna hatrany an-kibon-dreniny aza.
16 He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.
Ary maro amin’ ny Zanak’ isiraely no hampodiny amin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny.
17 He will 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 prepare a people prepared for the Lord.”
Ary izy handeha eo alohany amin’ ny fanahy sy ny herin’ i Elia mba hampody ny fon’ ny ray ho amin’ ny zanaka, ary ny tsy manoa ho amin’ ny fahendren’ ny marina, hamboatra firenena voaomana ho an’ ny Tempo.
18 Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.”
Ary hoy Zakaria tamin’ ilay anjely: Inona no hahafantarako izany? fa izaho efa antitra, ary efa antitra koa ny vadiko.
19 The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.
Ary ilay anjely namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Izaho no Gabriela, izay mitsangana eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra; ary nirahina hiteny aminao aho ka hilaza aminao izany teny mahafaly izany.
20 Behold, you will be silent and not able to speak until the day that these things will happen, because you didn’t believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”
Koa, indro, ho moana ianao ka tsy hahay miteny ambara-pahatongan’ ny andro hisehoan’ izany zavatra izany, ho valin’ ny tsy ninoanao ny teniko, izay ho tanteraka amin’ ny fotoany.
21 The people were waiting for Zechariah, and they marvelled that he delayed in the temple.
Ary ny olona dia niandry an’ i Zakaria ka gaga noho izy naharitra ela tao amin’ ny tempoly.
22 When he came out, he could not speak to them. They perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.
Kanjo rehefa nivoaka izy, dia tsy nahay niteny taminy; ary dia fantatry ny olona fa efa nahita fahitana tao amin’ ny tempoly izy; ary izy nanao baikon’ ny moana taminy, ary dia mbola moana ihany.
23 When the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
Ary rehefa tapitra ny andro nanaovany fanompoam-pivavahana, dia lasa nody tany an-tranony izy.
24 After these days Elisheva his wife conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,
Ary taorian’ izany andro izany dia nitoe-jaza Elizabeta vadiny, dia niery dimy volana izy ka nanao hoe:
25 “Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my reproach amongst men.”
Izao no nataon’ ny Tompo tamiko tamin’ ny andro izay nitsinjovany hahafa-tondromaso ahy amin’ ny olona.
26 Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
Ary tamin’ ny fahenim-bolana dia nirahin’ Andriamanitra ny anjely Gabriela ho any an-tanàna anankiray any Galilia atao hoe Nazareta,
27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of David’s house. The virgin’s name was Miriam.
ho any amin’ ny virijina anankiray, izay voafofo ho vadin’ ny lehilahy atao hoe Josefa, avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Davida; ary ny anaran’ ny virijina dia Maria.
28 Having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, you highly favoured one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you amongst women!”
Ary nony niditra tao aminy ilay anjely, dia nanao hoe: Arahaba, ry ilay nohasoavina, ny Tompo momba anao.
29 But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be.
Ary taitra loatra izy noho ny teniny ka nieritreritra izay tokony ho hevitr’ izany fiarahabana izany.
30 The angel said to her, “Don’t be afraid, Miriam, for you have found favour with God.
Ary hoy ilay anjely taminy: Aza matahotra, ry Maria, fa efa nahita fitia tamin’ Andriamanitra ianao.
31 Behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and shall name him ‘Yeshua.’
Ary, indro, hitoe-jaza ianao ka hiteraka zazalahy, ary ny anarany dia hataonao hoe Jesosy.
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 father David,
Izy ho lehibe ka hatao hoe Zanaky ny Avo Indrindra; ary Jehovah Andriamanitra hanome Azy ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida rainy;
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom.” (aiōn g165)
ary hanjaka amin’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba mandrakizay Izy; ary ny fanjakany tsy hanam-pahataperana. (aiōn g165)
34 Miriam said to the angel, “How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?”
Ary hoy Maria tamin’ ilay anjely: Hanao ahoana re no hahatanteraka izany, fa tsy mahalala lahy aho?
35 The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born from you will be called the Son of God.
Ary ilay anjely namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Ny Fanahy Masìna ho tonga ao aminao, ary hisy herin’ ny Avo Indrindra hanaloka anao; koa ny Masìna Izay hateraka dia hatao hoe Zanak’ Andriamanitra.
36 Behold, Elisheva your relative also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
Ary, indro, Elizabeta havanao dia efa mitoe-jaza koa, na dia efa antitra aza; ary efa mandray enina izy izao, izay natao hoe momba.
37 For nothing spoken by God is impossible.”
Fa tsy hisy tsy ho tanteraka ny teny rehetra ataon’ Andriamanitra.
38 Miriam said, “Behold, the servant of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.
Dia hoy Maria: Inty ny ankizivavin’ ny Tompo; aoka anie ho tonga amiko araka ny teninao. Dia nandao azy ilay anjely.
39 Miriam arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,
Ary Maria niainga tamin’ izany andro izany ka nandeha faingana ho any amin’ ny tany havoana, ho ao an-tanàna anankiray any Joda;
40 and entered into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elisheva.
ary niditra tao an-tranon’ i Zakaria izy ka niarahaba an’ i Elizabeta.
41 When Elisheva heard Miriam’s greeting, the baby leapt in her womb; and Elisheva was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Ary rehefa ren’ i Elizabeta ny fiarahaban’ i Maria, dia nibitaka ny zaza tao an-kibony; ary nofenoina ny Fanahy Masìna Elizabeta,
42 She called out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
dia niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery hoe izy: Voatahy samy vehivavy ianao, ary voatahy ny hateraky ny kibonao.
43 Why am I so favoured, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Avy aiza no ahatongavan’ izao amiko, no mba vangian’ ny renin’ ny Tompoko aho?
44 For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leapt in my womb for joy!
Fa, indro, raha vao ren’ ny sofiko ny feon’ ny fiarahabanao, dia nibitaka noho ny hafaliana ny zaza ao an-kiboko.
45 Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfilment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!”
Ary sambatra ianao izay nino; fa hefaina izay zavatra nampilazain’ ny Tompo taminao.
46 Miriam said, “My soul magnifies the Lord.
Ary hoy Maria: Ny foko mankalaza ny Tompo,
47 My spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour,
Ary ny fanahiko efa ravoravo tamin’ Andriamanitra, Mpamonjy ahy;
48 for he has looked at the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.
Fa efa nijery ny fahambani-toetry ny ankizivaviny Izy. Fa, indro, hatramin’ ny ankehitriny dia hataon’ ny taranaka rehetra ho sambatra aho.
49 For he who is mighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name.
Fa ny Mahery efa nanao zavatra lehibe tamiko; Ary masìna ny anarany.
50 His mercy is for generations and generations on those who fear him.
Ary ny famindram-pony dia amin’ izay matahotra Azy hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby.
51 He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
Nanao asa lehibe tamin’ ny sandriny Izy; Nampihahaka ny mpiavonavona tamin’ ny fiheveran’ ny fony Izy.
52 He has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted the lowly.
Nampiala ny lehibe tamin’ ny seza fiandrianany Izy, Ary nanandratra ny ambany kosa.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.
Ny noana novokisany soa; Fa ny manan-karena kosa nampialainy maina.
54 He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
Niahy an’ isiraely mpanompony Izy, fa nahatsiaro ny famindram-pony
(Araka ny voalazany tamin’ ny razantsika), tamin’ i Abrahama sy ny taranany mandrakizay. (aiōn g165)
56 Miriam stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.
Ary Maria nitoetra teo amin’ i Elizabeta tokony ho telo volana vao nody tany an-tranony.
57 Now the time that Elisheva should give birth was fulfilled, and she gave birth to a son.
Ary tonga ny andro hahaveloman’ i Elizabeta, dia niteraka zazalahy izy.
58 Her neighbours and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they rejoiced with her.
Ary ny niara-monina taminy sy ny havany nandre fa efa nohalehibiazin’ ny Tompo ny famindram-pony taminy; dia niara-nifaly taminy ireo.
59 On the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zechariah, after the name of his father.
Ary tamin’ ny andro fahavalo dia tonga hamora ny zaza izy, ka efa saiky hataony hoe Zakaria araka ny anaran-drainy ny anarany.
60 His mother answered, “Not so; but he will be called Yochanan.”
Fa ny reniny namaly ka nanao hoe: Tsy izany, fa hatao hoe Jaona izy.
61 They said to her, “There is no one amongst your relatives who is called by this name.”
Fa hoy izy ireo taminy: Tsy misy na dia iray akory aza amin’ ny havanao izay manana izany anarana izany.
62 They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
Ary nanao baikon’ ny moana tamin’ ny rainy iry ireo, izay tokony ho tiany hatao anarany.
63 He asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, “His name is Yochanan.” They all marvelled.
Ary nangataka fàfana izy ka nanoratra hoe: Jaona no anarany. Dia gaga avokoa izy rehetra.
64 His mouth was opened immediately and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.
Ary dia nisokatra niaraka tamin’ izay ny vavany, ka afaka niteny ny lelany; dia niteny izy ka nidera an’ Andriamanitra.
65 Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.
Dia raiki-tahotra izay rehetra niara-monina taminy; ary niely teny amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Jodia rehetra ny lazan’ izany rehetra izany.
66 All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, “What then will this child be?” The hand of the Lord was with him.
Ary izay rehetra nandre dia nandatsaka izany tam-pony ka nanao hoe: Ho zaza hanao ahoana re io? Fa ny tanan’ ny Tompo nomba azy.
67 His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Ary dia feno ny Fanahy Masìna Zakaria rainy ka naminany hoe:
68 “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people;
Isaorana anie ny Tompo Andriamanitry ny Isiraely; Fa nitsinjo ny olony Izy ka nanao fanavotana ho azy,
69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
Ary nanangana tandro-pamonjena ho antsika Amin’ ny taranak’ i Davida mpanompony Izy
(Araka izay nampilazainy ny mpaminaniny masìna hatramin’ ny fahagola), (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us;
Dia famonjena antsika amin’ ny fahavalontsika, sy amin’ ny tànan’ izay rehetra mankahala antsika;
72 to show mercy towards our fathers, to remember his holy covenant,
Manefa famindram-po amin’ ny razantsika Izy Sady mahatsiaro ny fanekeny masìna,
73 the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
Dia ny fianianana izay nianianany tamin’ i Abrahama razantsika,
74 to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, should serve him without fear,
Hanao izay hahazoantsika hanompo Azy tsy amin-tahotra, Satria afaka amin’ ny fahavalontsika isika,
75 in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life.
Amin’ ny fahamasinana sy ny fahamarinana eo anatrehany amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainantsika.
76 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 ways,
Ary ianao, ry zaza, dia hatao hoe mpaminanin’ ny Avo Indrindra; Fa hialoha eo anatrehan’ ny Tompo ianao hamboatra ny lalany.
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the remission of their sins,
Hanome ny olony ny fahalalam-pamonjena amin’ ny famelana ny helony,
78 because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the dawn from on high will visit us,
Noho ny halehiben’ ny famindram-pon’ Andriamanitsika, izay hiposahan’ ny mazava avy any amin’ ny avo ho antsika.
79 to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
Hamirapiratra amin’ izay mipetraka ao amin’ ny maizina sy ao amin’ ny aloky ny fahafatesana, Hanitsy ny diantsika ho amin’ ny lalam-piadanana.
80 The child was growing and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
Ary ny zazakely nitombo ka nihahery tam-panahy; ary nitoetra tany an-efitra izy ambara-pahatongan’ ny andro nisehoany tamin’ ny Isiraely.
