Luke 1
1 Seeing that many did take in hand to set in order a narration of the matters that have been fully assured among us,
Vingi vitangile ukhuvikho vunonu amamenyu (simulizi) amamenyu galo ugukavombikhe kati yunyo,
2 as they did deliver to us, who from the beginning became eye-witnesses, and officers of the Word, —
Nduvuvatupile ufwe, yufwe ukhuhuma khuvutengulilo twalolile na miho gito na vavombi va limenyu.
3 it seemed good also to me, having followed from the first after all things exactly, to write to thee in order, most noble Theophilus,
Pwu nayune, vwu nilolile vunonu uvutengulilo wa mbombo inchi nchoni ukuhuma khuvute ngulilo - nikwene lunonu kulyune ukhukhwandikila vunonu mhesimiwa fincho Theofilo.
4 that thou mayest know the certainty of the things wherein thou wast instructed.
Inave vwinogwa ulumanye uvwa yihwe li vwa mbombo iyumanyile.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Abijah, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elisabeth;
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 and they were both righteous before God, going on in all the commands and righteousnesses of the Lord blameless,
Voni vale va yilweli kuvulongolo kwa Nguluve; valikugenda khisita lunoninoni mu ndagilo nchoni ncha Nguluve.
7 and they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and both were advanced in their days.
Khange savakhale nu mwana, ulwa khuva u sabati ale gumba, khange voni vala vagogolo fincho.
8 And it came to pass, in his acting as priest, in the order of his course before God,
Pwu lino yikhahumila ukhuva u sakhaliya ale va Nguluve, vwivomba imbombo ya vukuhani msamu ya mwene.
9 according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot was to make perfume, having gone into the sanctuary of the Lord,
Ukhukongana nu lwiho ulwa khuhala vi kuhani alikhu uvi ya khave ivomba, vahalaga ni kura ukhwingile mmtembile ya Nguluve nu ukhufukhutila uvumba.
10 and all the multitude of the people were praying without, at the hour of the perfume.
Ikhipuga kyoni kya vanu lili kudova khunji unsikhi gwa kufukhutila uvumba.
11 And there appeared to him a messenger of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of the perfume,
Pwu usungwa va Nguluve akha ngumila nu khoima khunelyo khwu nekhelo ya khufukhutila.
12 and Zacharias, having seen, was troubled, and fear fell on him;
Usakhelia akha dwada vu ambene uvudwanchi vukhagwila.
13 and the messenger said unto him, 'Fear not, Zacharias, for thy supplication was heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear a son to thee, and thou shalt 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 and there shall be joy to thee, and gladness, and many at his birth shall joy,
Vwiva nu luhekhelo nu khukimagila, khenye vingi vikhv khuhovokhele ukhu holiwa khumwene
15 for he shall be great before the Lord, and wine and strong drink he may not drink, and of the Holy Spirit he shall be full, even 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 and many of the sons of Israel he shall turn to the Lord their God,
Na vanu vingi va mu Israeli vi vipindukha kwa nkuludeva Unguluve va vene.
17 and he shall go before Him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn hearts of fathers unto children, and disobedient ones to the wisdom of righteous ones, to make ready for the Lord, a people prepared.'
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 And Zacharias said unto the messenger, 'Whereby shall I know this? for I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days?'
Sakhalia akambula usungwa, “Nikulumanyandakhekhe ukhulu manya eeli? Ulwakhuva une niligogolo na yu ndala vanga imgakha gya mwene givile mingi fincho.”
19 And the messenger answering said to him, 'I am Gabriel, who have been standing near before God, and I was sent to speak unto thee, and to proclaim these good news to thee,
Usung'wa akhambula akhata, “Une nene gabileli, uvikhwima pamiho ga Nguluve nikhasuhiwe kukhumbula, ukhukhugegela inongwa iyi inonu.
20 and lo, thou shalt be silent, and not able to speak, till the day that these things shall come to pass, because thou didst not believe my words, that shall be fulfilled in their season.'
Ulolage, sayawilola, vwivamye, sukhanchove mpaka isikhu yila yakhave yihumila. Yehumile ulwakhuva amamenyu ganyo yagihumila khunsikhi unonu.”
21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and wondering at his tarrying in the sanctuary,
Pwu lino avanu vali khugulila u Sakhalia. Walikudega ukhuta unsikhi gwoni ale mtembile.
22 and having come out, he was not able to speak to them, and they perceived that a vision he had seen in the sanctuary, and he was beckoning to them, and did remain dumb.
Vwu ahumile khunji alikhulemwa ukhunchova na vene. Vakhalumanya ukhuta upile amagono fivi vwali mtembile, alikhupi vonesya mufihwano akhanchiga mye.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he went away to his house,
Yukhahumela ukhuta amanchuva ga vuvombi vwa mwene vuvusilile akhahega ukhuvuya khumiave.
24 and after those days, his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying —
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 'Thus hath the Lord done to me, in days in which He looked upon [me], to take away my reproach among men.'
“Ili lyu utwa avombile khulione upwa khandolile kwu vupendelelo ahenche isoni khuliune khange pamiho ga vanu.”
26 And in the sixth month was the messenger Gabriel sent by God, to a city of Galilee, the name of which [is] 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, betrothed to a man, whose name [is] Joseph, of the house of David, and the name of the virgin [is] 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 And the messenger having come in unto her, said, 'Hail, favoured one, the Lord [is] with thee; blessed [art] thou among women;'
Akhincha khumwene nukhuta, “Nikukhuponia, uveve vyu pokhile uluhungu uluvaha! Untwa ahovwikhe nuve.”
29 and she, having seen, was troubled at his word, and was reasoning of what kind this salutation may be.
Limo amamenyu ga Nsungwa ga nja nchiche nu khusifa ukhulumanya khekhi unusungwa akhatile nikhu khupoia (salaam) ukhuu nchakhudege khu mwene.
30 And the messenger said to her, 'Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God;
Unsungwa akhambula, “Ulekhe ukhu dwadwa, Maliya, ulwakhuva vwupilile uhehungu ukhuhuma khwa Nguluve.
31 and lo, thou shalt conceive in the womb, and shalt bring forth a son, and call his name Jesus;
Khange lola, vwigega uheleme mulitumbu lyakho vwihola umwana. Nayuve yavukhumwilaga ilitavwa lyamwene vi 'Yisu.'
32 he shall be great, and Son of the Highest he shall be called, and the Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father,
Iva mmbaha ikwilangiwaga mwa ve khukhanya fincho. Utwa Unguluve ikhumpa ikhigoda ikhinyahwangulo ikya Ndaveli ubaha va mwene.
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob to the ages; and of his reign there shall be no end.' (aiōn g165)
Ayilongoncha pa kyanya pa kwumbu kho kya Yakhobo myakha gyoni nu ludeva lwa mwene lwiva luchila vumalilo. (aiōn g165)
34 And Mary said unto the messenger, 'How shall this be, seeing a husband I do not know?'
Umaliya akhambula unsung'wa, ili lihumela ndekhekhi ulwakhuva sanegele nigone nu ng'osi uvi ave, nchaga?
35 And the messenger answering said to her, 'The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee, therefore also the holy-begotten thing shall be called 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 and lo, Elisabeth, thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her 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 because nothing shall be impossible with God.'
Uhwakhuva lisikhuli ilyo likhuntola Unguluve.”
38 And Mary said, 'Lo, the maid-servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to thy saying,' and the messenger went away from 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 And Mary having arisen in those days, went to the hill-country, with haste, to a city of Judea,
Pwu pafigono ifyo Umaliya akhahega khimbivi mbivi akhaluta khukhelunga khya twamba, khu jini gwa khilonga ya Yuta.
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
Khaluta mnyumba ya Sakhaliya nu khumponia Uelisabeti.
41 And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe did leap in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
Pyu yikhahumila ukhuta Usabeti avile apolikhe uheponio mwene akhanchumba, nu Sabeti akhadiga umepo umbalenche.
42 and spake out with a loud voice, and said, 'Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb;
Akhatoncha ilimenyu lya mwene nu khunchova khulinyu ili vaha, “Usayivwe uve mumbadala, nu mwana uvyalimwitumbu lyakho asayivwe.
43 and whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord might come unto me?
Khange yiva ndakhikhi kyulune ukhuva, mama va Nkuludeva vango ukhuta inche khulione?
44 for, lo, when the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, leap in gladness did the babe in my womb;
Ulwakhuva, likhavile lipulikhikhemu mbulukhutu nchango ilimenyu lya khuponia uve umwana mwandileme lyango akhanchumbo nu hehovokho.
45 and happy [is] she who did believe, for there shall be a completion to the things spoken to her from the Lord.'
Khange asayivwage dala uvi alikwidikha ukhuta vukhala vuhumila khuvumalilo vwa Nkhuludeva.”
46 And Mary said, 'My soul doth magnify the Lord,
Mariamu akasema, nafsi yangu inamsifu Bwana,
47 And my spirit was glad on God my Saviour,
Nu mepo yango yihovwikhile mwa Nguluve umpokhi vango.
48 Because He looked on the lowliness of His maid-servant, For, lo, henceforth call me happy shall all the generations,
Uhwa khuva alolile pasi pa mbombi va mwene udala. Lola, ukhuhuma lino ifipepo fyoni fikhunyi langaga insayiwa.
49 For He who is mighty did to me great things, And holy [is] His name,
Ulwa khuva umwene ummanyi avombile imbombo imbaha khuliune, khulitavwa lya mwene ilivalenche.
50 And His kindness [is] to generations of generations, To those fearing Him,
Uluhungu lwa mwene lutama khipaponi khipato khuvala avikhudwada umwene.
51 He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,
Avonisye amakha kwu khwa khivokho kya mwene; avahaselihimie vala ava likwiginie pa masago ga numbula yu vene.
52 He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,
Avisinche pasi avana va vavaha ukhuhuma kwu fitamilo fya vene ifinya hvangulo nu khuvavikha kwu khyanya uvavale va pasi.
53 The hungry He did fill with good, And the rich He sent away empty,
Alikuvigusya avalininjala kwu finu ifinonu, pwu atayili avaswimile mavakho gene.
54 He received again Israel His servant, To remember kindness,
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 And Mary remained with her about three months, and turned back to her house.
Umaliya akhatama nu Elisabeti iminchi gidatu ndee pwa khavuya kwu nyumba ya mwene.
57 And to Elisabeth was the time fulfilled for her bringing forth, and she bare a son,
Pwu lino unsikhi gukhavile guhege lile ugwa Elisabeti ukhuhola umwana udimi.
58 and the neighbours and her kindred heard that the Lord was making His kindness great with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
Awambunchege na vahukhulolwe vakhapu likha umwu unkuludeva vwa kunchinche uluhunge hwa mwene, pwu vakhahovokha paninie nu mwene.
59 And it came to pass, on the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling him by the name of his father, Zacharias,
Pwu yikhahumila ikhigono ikya nane ukhuta vali kwincha kwigida umwana. Yikhenong'ikwa ukhumwilanga ilitavwa lya mwene, “Zekaria,” Ukhuva liyavwa lya dada va mwene,
60 and his mother answering said, 'No, but he shall be called John.'
Pwa mama va mwene akhamula akhata, “Ate; ikwilangiwa Yohana.”
61 And they said unto her — 'There is none among thy kindred who is called by this name,'
Vakhambula, asikhuli nu via liyumo mukikolo kyako uviikwila ngiwa nilitawa ili.”
62 and they were making signs to his father, what he would wish him to be called,
Vakhambombela ikhimanyilo udadaye ukhumbula umwene ukhuta alikunongwa ampe ilitavwa iliveni.
63 and having asked for a tablet, he wrote, saying, 'John is his name;' and they did all wonder;
Udadaye alikhunongwa ikbavo kya kwandika, pwu akhandikha, “Ilitavwa lya mwene vi Yohana.” Voni valikhudegu pa ili.
64 and his mouth was opened presently, and his tongue, and he was speaking, praising God.
Unsikhi ndugu undomo kwa mwene gulichadinduliwa nu lulimi lwa mwene lulikukyega. Alikhunchova nu khuginia u Nguluve.
65 And fear came upon all those dwelling around them, and in all the hill-country of Judea were all these sayings spoken of,
Uwudwanchi vukhevinchele voni uvuvatamaga paninie nevene. Imbimbo nchikhagenda ikhulunga kyoni ikya fyamba fya Yuta.
66 and all who heard did lay them up in their hearts, saying, 'What then shall this child be?' and 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 And Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and did prophesy, saying,
Udadaye va Sakhaliya adigile umepo umbalanche nu khuhumya uvunyamalago, akhata,
68 'Blessed [is] the Lord, the God of Israel, Because He did look upon, And wrought redemption for His people,
“Aginivwage Unkuludeva, Unguluve va Israeli, ulwakhuva atangile nu khuvombela uvapokhi vwa vanu va mwene.
69 And did raise an horn of salvation to us, In the house of David His servant,
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 out of the hand of all hating us,
Ikhutupokha khuvavivi vito nu khumyammavoko ga voni avikhutuvipila.
72 To do kindness with our fathers, And to be mindful of His holy covenant,
Ayivomba evwo ukhuvonesya ikisa khuva dada vito, nu khumbukha uhwidihano lwa mwene uluvalanche,
73 An oath that He sware to Abraham our father,
Ulwidiko ulwu anchovile kwa Abrahamu udada vito.
74 To give to us, without fear, Out of the hand of our enemies having been delivered,
Akhidiga ukhugangancha ukhuta yiwesekhano ukhumbombela U Nguluve khesita vudwanchi, vwu tupokiwe ukhuma mumavokho ga vavivi veto.
75 To serve Him, in holiness and righteousness Before Him, all the days of our life.
Mu vuvalanche nu vwa yehweli mbolongolo mmwene ifigono fyeto fyoni.
76 And thou, child, Prophet of the Highest Shalt thou be called; For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, To prepare His ways.
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 In remission of their sins,
Ukhuvavula avanu ukhuta ya vipokhi vwa kwu njila ya khusyikheliwa imbivincha vene.
78 Through the tender mercies of our God, In which the rising from on high did look upon us,
Ili yalihumila ulwakhuva khisa kya Nguluve vito, ulwakhuva ilinehuva ukhuhuma khukhenya likhutinchela
79 To give light to those sitting in darkness and death-shade, To guide our feet to a way of peace.'
ukhuvala khuvala avitama mhisi na mnu mwafuli gwa vufwe ayivombavo ugalongoncha amalunde gitu kwu njila ya lunonchehencho.”
80 And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit, and he was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
Pwu, mwana ula akhavula nu khuva na makha mumepo pwa akatama mchagalawe mpakha ihincho lya khuhumila umwene khu Israeli.
