Luke 1
1 Whereas many have undertaken to compose a narrative of the things, which have been fully certified among us;
Vangi vachi vava liki ku vika i nswanelo lye kande lyezo indava zichi zive zuzilizwa mukati ketu,
2 as they delivered them to us, who were from the beginning eye-witnesses of them, and ministers of the word;
uvu vo vulyo mu vava zituheli mi avo kuzwila ku matangizo ivali impanki ni vahikana ve ñusa.
3 it seemed good to me also, having thoroughly traced them all from the very first, to write an account of them in order to thee,
Cwale kwangu name ivali kuvoneka kuva hande - kuganisisa hande inzila ye indava yezo zintu kuzwila kuma tangizo - kuñola indava ye nswanelo yako iwe, Theophilus yo sepahala.
4 most excellent Theophilus, that thou mayst know the certainty of the things wherein thou hast been instructed.
Ili ku pangila kuti mwi zive vuniti vwezo zintu zimu va lutwa.
5 There was in the days of Herod king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the family of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
Muma zuva a Heroda, simwine wa Judeya ku vali kwina mu purisita we zina lya Zakariya, ya vali kuzwa kwi inkauhanyo ya Abija. Mwi hyavwe avali kuzwa kuvana vechi kazana va Arunì, Izina lyakwe ivali nji Elizabeta.
6 And they were both righteous in the sight of God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Vonse vo vele vava shieme ha vusu vwa Ireza, ku kuteka zonse intaezo za Simwine.
7 And they had no child, for Elisabeth was barren; and they were both far advanced in years.
Kono kana vavena mwana kakuli Elizabeta kana vena luzalo, mi hape vonse chi vava supele ahulu he iyi inako.
8 And it came to pass, while he was in the order of his course performing the priest's office before God,
Mi kuvezi kuchita kuti Zakaria avena mukwina kwa Ireza, kwi chilila ni kupanga iyo mintendo yovu purisita yava hewa mwi nswanelo ye inkauhanyo ya kwe.
9 according to the custom of dividing the office of the priests, that it fell to his lot to burn incense, entring into the temple of the Lord:
Kuya ke chizo choku keta kuti njo zuhi mu purisita yese a tende, ava ketwa kwa loto kuti e njile mwi tempele ya Simwine kuti a hise minunkiso.
10 and all the people were praying without at the time of offering incense.
Chonse chichava cha vantu chiva kwete ku lapela hanze heyo inako minunkiso iva hiswa.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right hand of the altar of incense.
Mi iñiloi lya Simwine livezi kuvoneka ha vusu vwake ni ku zimana ku vulyo vwe alutare ye minunkiso.
12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was startled and struck with fear:
Zakaria ha muvona, ava tilimuki mi lyowa livezi hali.
13 but the angel said unto 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:
Kono i ñiloi chi lya ti kwali, “sanzi uvi ni lyowa, Zakaria, kakuti intapelo yako iva tekwa. Mwi hyenu Elizabeta mwa pepe mwana o mwisisu. Kamu sumpe izina lyakwe Johani.
14 and he shall be a joy and transport to thee, yea, many shall rejoice on account of his birth; for he shall be great in the sight of the Lord,
Ka muve ni ntabo ni kusanga, mi vangi vese va sangilile he mpepo yakwe.
15 and he shall drink neither wine nor any other strong liquor; and he shall be filled with the holy Spirit even from his birth;
Kakuli mwave muntu mukando mu menso a Simwine. Sanzi na nywi i waine kapa zinywiwa zi kolete, mi mwe zule ni Luhuho lu Jolola ku zwilila mwi vumo li ba nyina.
16 and many of the children of Israel shall he convert unto the Lord their God.
Mi vantu vangi va Isiraele kava sandulwe kwali Simwine wavo Ireza.
17 And he shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to prepare for the Lord a people well-disposed.
Mwa yende havusu bwe chifateho cha Simwine muluhuho ni ziho za Eliya. Mwa pange vovuti kupangila kuti a sandule inkulo za bashemi ve chikwame ku vana, ku pangila kuti vasa kuteki kava yende mu vutali vwa vantu va lukite - ku litukiseza kwa Simwine vantu valukisezwe iye.
18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife far advanced in years.
Zakariya cha wamba kwi ñiloi, “Ni wola kuzi ziva vule izi? kakuli chili ni Mukwame yo supele mi ni mwihyetu naye cho supele ahulu.
19 And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God, and I am sent to speak to thee, and to tell thee this good news:
Mi iñiloi chila mwi taba ni ku wamba kwali, “njime Gaburiyele yo zimene mwikwina Ireza.”Nivaka tumwa ku kwiza kuwamba nawe, kukuletela aa makande ma lotu.
20 and now shalt thou be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall come to pass; because thou believedst not my words, which shall be fulfilled at their season.
“Cwale uvone, mo tontole, kese uwole kuwamba heisi izuva izi zintu hese nizi pangahale. Ichi nji kuti kana uva zumini manzwi angu, ese e zuzilizwe he nako i swanezi.
21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and wondered at his staying so long in the temple:
Cwale vantu vava lindile Zakariya. Vava komeketwe kakuli avali kwi kele inako ingi mwi tempele.
22 but when he came out he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them, and continued speechless:
Kono haka zwa mo, kana vali ku wola ku wamba navo. Chiva bonisisa kuti ava voni i pono havali kwina mwi tempele. Ava zwili ku panga zi supo kuvali na shele u tontwele.
23 and as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
Ku vezi kuva kuti mazuva akwe oku tenda ha amana, cha yenda kwi nzuvo yakwe.
24 And after these days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and retired five months,
Kuzwa aa mazuva, mwi hyavwe Elizabeta ava hi menzi ma hya. Avali zwisi ku vantu ka mwezi i hinda iyanza. Cha wamba,
25 saying, the Lord hath thus dealt with me in the days wherein he looked upon me to take away my reproach among men.
“Izi za vani pangili Simwine ha vani loli ni chishemo ku pangila kuti a zwise maswavisisa angu ha vusu bwa bantu.”
26 But in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee called Nazareth,
Mu Mwezi we yanza ni kamwina, I ñiloi Gaburiyele liba tumwa ku zwa kwa Ireza kwi tolopo mwa Galileya i sumpwa Nazareta,
27 to a virgin who was betrothed to a man, whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.
kwa kamwale yaba vikilizwe ku mukwame we zina lya Josefa. A vali ku wila ku luzuvo lwa Davida, kamwale izina lyakwe i vali nji Maria.
28 And when the angel came in to the room to her, he said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured; the Lord is with thee;
Cheza kwali ni kuwamba, “Lumele, iwe yo shemuvitwe ahulu, Simwine wina nawe.”
29 blessed art thou among women! and when she saw him, she was confused at what he said, and pondered in her mind what sort of salutation this could be.
Kono ava lyangene ahulu cha manzwi akwe, ava hupuli kuti iwola kuva mulumelisezo nzi uwu.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favor with God:
Iñiloi chila wamba kwali, “Sanzi utiyi, Maria kakuli cho va wani chishemo ni Ireza.”
31 and behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS:
Mi u vwene, mo pange mwana mwi vumo mi mo pepe muswisu. Mo sumpe izina lyakwe “Jesu.”
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God shall give Him the throne of David his father,
Mwa ve mukando mi mwa sumpwe kuti Mwana wa Sikwiwulu. Simwine Ireza mwa muhe chipula chavu simwine chika zwilila ku vasikulwe vave sikulwe Davida.
33 and He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
Mwa vuse inzubo ya Jakovo kuya kwile, mi kese kuve nima mani ku muvuso wakwe. (aiōn g165)
34 Then said Mary to the angel, How can this be, since I am a virgin?
Maria cha wamba kwi ñiloi, “Kai pangahale vule, kuvona kanini ku kopana ni mukwame?”,
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee, and therefore thine holy offspring shall be called the Son of God: and lo,
Iñiloi chilye tava niku wamba kwali, Luhuho Lujolola ka lwize hako, miziho za Sikwiwulu ka zize hako. Cwale iye uzo yo jolola yenke yese apepwe mwa sumpwe Mwana wa Ireza.
36 thy cousin Elisabeth also hath conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her that was called barren;
Mi ubwene, mukwako Elizabeta naye aba pepi mwana o muswisu mu busupali. Uwu mwezi we yanza ni konke wali, uzo yabali kusumpwa kusa pepa.
37 for nothing is impossible with God.
Kakuli kakwina chese nichi sa woleki ni Ireza.
38 Then Mary said, Behold the servant of the Lord, may it be unto me according to thy word. So the angel departed from her.
Maria chati “ubwene, ni muhikana wo mwanakazana wa Simwine.” Kuve vulyo kwangu kakuya che ñusa lyako. Mi iñiloi chilya musiya.
39 Then Mary arose and went with speed into the hill-country, to a city of Juda,
Linu Maria ava vuki mwa awo mazuba, mi cha hwelela kuya kwi nkanda ye ziwulu, kwi tolopo mwa Judeya.
40 and came into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
Ava yendi mwi nzuvo ya Zakariya mi chaka lumelisa Elizabeta.
41 And as soon as Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the child leaped in her womb, and Elisabeth was filled with the holy Spirit:
Cwale kuva pangahali kuti Elizabeta ha zuwa mulumelisezo wa Maria, mbumbu mwi vumo lyakwe ava shili, mi Elizabeta ave zulwa Luhuho lu Jolola.
42 and she cried out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb:
Cha koza inzwi lyakwe ni kuwamba kaku huwa “Iwe njo fwiyoletwe mukati kavanakazi, mi ni muselo we vumo lyako ufuyoletwe.”
43 and whence is this honor to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Mi chinzi hayi va pangahali kwangu kuti vanyina va Simwine wangu va swanela kwiza kwangu?
44 for behold, as soon as the voice of thy salutation reached my ears, the child in my womb leaped for joy:
Mu vwene, mulumo we ntumeliso zako ha ziza ku matwi angu, mbumbu yo wina mwi vumo lyangu ava shili nche intabo.
45 and blessed is she that believed; for there shall be a performance of the things that were told her from the Lord.
Mi uzo u fwiyoletwe yaba zumini kuti ka kuve ni kwizuzilizwa kwezo zintu ziva wambwa kwali ku zwilila kwa Simwine.
46 And Mary said, "My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour;
Maria cha wamba, “Luhuho lwangu lu temba Simwine”,
47 for He hath regarded the low estate of his handmaid:
mi luhuho lwangu lusanga mwe Ireza mutusi wangu.
48 for behold, from henceforth shall all generations call me blessed:
Chaba loli ha mazimo avolele hansi a muhikana wakwe wo mwanakazana. Cwale mu vone, ku zwila hahanu onse masika ka a nisumpe kuti ni fwiyoletwe.
49 for He that is mighty hath done great things for me,
Kakuli iye yo wina ziho chavani pangili zintu zikando mi izina lyakwe li jolola.
50 and his name is holy, and his mercy is on them that fear Him, unto all generations.
Chishemo chakwe chikalilile ku mahasi ni mahasi kwabo vamu tiya.
51 He hath wrought powerfully with his arm; He hath confounded those that were proud in the imagination of their heart.
Chava tondezi ziho zakwe kache yanza: chaba hasani avo vavali kulikumuseza mihupulo ye nkulo zavo.
52 He hath cast down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the humble.
Chava soheli hansi vaana vavene simwine vechi kwame ha vuyendisi vwavo. mi chava nyamuni avo ba mazimo mavi.
53 He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He hath sent away empty.
Chave zuzi avo va fwile inzala ni zintu zilotu, kono va humite avava tumini kule niva sena chintu.
54 He hath supported Israel his servant,
Chava hi intuso kwa Isiraele muhikana wakwe, kupangila ku hupula ku tondeza chishemo
55 in remembrance of his mercy (even as He promised to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed, ) for ever." (aiōn g165)
(mwava teli ku veshetu) kwa Aburahama niba mwi chilila kuya uko kusena mamanimani. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her own house.
Maria ave kali ni Elizabeta ka miezi yo tatwe mi cha volela kwi nzuvo yakwe.
57 Now when Elisabeth's time for her delivery was fully come, she brought forth a son:
Hanu inako chi iva sikite ya Elizabeta kuti ahwizumuke muchiche mi ava pepi mwanaswisu.
58 and her neighbours and kindred heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they congratulated her;
Va vambene naye niva kwakwe vava zuwi kuti Simwine ava mutondenzi chishemo chakwe chikando kwali mi vava sangi naye.
59 and on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child: and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father:
Hanu kuvezi kupangahala he zuva li hinda iyanza ni to tatwe vava kezi njeva muchite mupato muchiche. Ni vava musumpi “Zakariya,” ku zwila izina li vesi.
60 but his mother said, No, but he shall be called John:
Kono va nyina chive tava ni kuwamba “Ne, mwa sumpwe Johani.”
61 and they said to her, There is none of thy relations of this name.
Chiva wamba kwali, “kakwina yenke mukati kava mwenu yo sumpwa keli zina.”
62 And they made signs to his father, what name he would have him called by.
Vava pangi zi supo kuvesi kupangila kuti vesi ve zive muvavali kusakila kuti a hewe izina.
63 And he called for a writing-tablet, and wrote upon it, His name is John: and they all wondered.
Vesi chiba kumbila chiñolelo mi chiva ñola, “izina lyakwe nji Johani”. Vonse vava komokwa.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake and praised God.
Haho vulyo kaholo kakwe kave yalulwa mi lulimi lwake luva lukululwa. Ava wambi niku lumba Ireza.
65 And an awe fell upon all that dwelt round about them; and all these things were divulged through the whole hill-country of Judea.
Lyowa livezi havo vavali kwi kala muma bali avo. Zonse izi zintu ziva twala monse mwi inkanda za ziwulu za Judeya.
66 And all that heard them, laid them up in their hearts, saying, What a child will this be? And the hand of the Lord was with him.
Mi vonse vava vazuwi vava ziviki mwi nkulo zavo, kuwamba, “cwale uzu muhwile mwave chi?” Kakuli iyanza lya Simwine livena naye.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the holy Spirit,
Vesi Zakariya ave zwile ni Luhuho lu Jolola mi cha polofita, kuwamba,
68 and prophesied, saying, "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,
“Simwine a lumbwe, Ireza wa Isiraele, kakuli avezi kwiza ku tusa mi ava kwanisi kuvozekezwa kwa bantu bakwe”
69 and hath raised up an horn of salvation for us,
Chava tuzimikili luziya lwo kuhaza mwi nzuvo yo muhikana wakwe Davida,
70 in the house of his servant David, as He spake by the mouth of his holy prophets from the beginning, (aiōn g165)
hava wambi cha kaholo zama polofita va jolola bakwe va vena mwi nako ya kale kale. (aiōn g165)
71 even salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
Mwa lete vu hazo vuzwilila ku zila zetu mi ni ku mayanza avo batu toyete.
72 to display his mercy towards our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
Mwa pange vovuti ku totendeza chishemo chakwe ku veshetu mi ni ku hupula ku jolola kwe ntumelelano yakwe,
73 according to the oath which He sware to Abraham our father,
ku lisumina kwava wambi kwa Aburahama ishe etu.
74 to grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him,
Ava sepisi kutuha kakuli tuba zwiswa muma yanza e zila zetu, katu mutendele niku sena lyowa,
75 all the days of our life.
muku jolola ni muku shiama ha vusu bwake onse mazuva etu.
76 And thou, my child, shalt be called the prophet of the most High; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord,
Eni, nawe, mwana, mo sumpwe mupolofita wa Isiwulu, kakuti moye ha vusu bwe chifateho cha Simwine kuli tukisa inzila zakwe, ku lukisa bantu cha kukeza kwakwe,
77 to make known salvation to his people,
kwiza kuha inzivo yo kuhazwa ku vantu vakwe kaku swalelwa kwa zivi zavo.
78 in the remission of their sins, through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring hath visited us from on high,
Ichi kachi pangahale bakeñisa chishemo cha Ireza wetu, bakeñisa ke zuva lizwa kule lyese lize kuku tutusa.
79 to enlighten them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet into the way of peace."
Ku venya havo ve kele mwi fifi navo vena mu munzunde we fu. Mwa pange vovuti kutondeza matende etu mwi nzila ye nkozo.
80 And the child grew, and became strong in spirit: and he was in the deserts till the time of his being manifested to Israel.
Hanu mwana ava kuli niku kola mu luhuho, mi avena mumu zuka heisi izuva hali vonekisa kwa Isiraele.
