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,
Vangi vachi vava liki ku vika i nswanelo lye kande lyezo indava zichi zive zuzilizwa mukati ketu,
2 as they did deliver to us, who from the beginning became eye-witnesses, and officers of the Word, —
uvu vo vulyo mu vava zituheli mi avo kuzwila ku matangizo ivali impanki ni vahikana ve ñusa.
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,
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 that thou mayest know the certainty of the things wherein thou wast instructed.
Ili ku pangila kuti mwi zive vuniti vwezo zintu zimu va lutwa.
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;
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 before God, going on in all the commands and righteousnesses 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, because that Elisabeth was barren, and both were advanced in their days.
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, in his acting as priest, in the order of his course 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 the priesthood, his lot was to make perfume, having gone into the sanctuary 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 multitude of the people were praying without, at the hour of the perfume.
Chonse chichava cha vantu chiva kwete ku lapela hanze heyo inako minunkiso iva hiswa.
11 And there appeared to him a messenger of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of the perfume,
Mi iñiloi lya Simwine livezi kuvoneka ha vusu vwake ni ku zimana ku vulyo vwe alutare ye minunkiso.
12 and Zacharias, having seen, was troubled, and fear fell on him;
Zakaria ha muvona, ava tilimuki mi lyowa livezi hali.
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,
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 there shall be joy to thee, and gladness, and many at his birth shall joy,
Ka muve ni ntabo ni kusanga, mi vangi vese va sangilile he mpepo yakwe.
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;
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 sons of Israel he shall turn to 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 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.'
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 messenger, 'Whereby shall I know this? for I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days?'
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 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,
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 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.'
“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 wondering at his tarrying in the sanctuary,
Cwale vantu vava lindile Zakariya. Vava komeketwe kakuli avali kwi kele inako ingi mwi tempele.
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.
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 it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he went away to his house,
Ku vezi kuva kuti mazuva akwe oku tenda ha amana, cha yenda kwi nzuvo yakwe.
24 and after those days, his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying —
Kuzwa aa mazuva, mwi hyavwe Elizabeta ava hi menzi ma hya. Avali zwisi ku vantu ka mwezi i hinda iyanza. Cha wamba,
25 'Thus hath the Lord done to me, in days in which 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 And in the sixth month was the messenger Gabriel sent by God, to a city of Galilee, the name of which [is] 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, betrothed to a man, whose name [is] Joseph, of the house of David, and the name of the virgin [is] 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 the messenger having come in unto her, said, 'Hail, favoured one, the Lord [is] with thee; blessed [art] thou among women;'
Cheza kwali ni kuwamba, “Lumele, iwe yo shemuvitwe ahulu, Simwine wina nawe.”
29 and she, having seen, was troubled at his word, and was reasoning of what kind this salutation may be.
Kono ava lyangene ahulu cha manzwi akwe, ava hupuli kuti iwola kuva mulumelisezo nzi uwu.
30 And the messenger said to her, 'Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God;
Iñiloi chila wamba kwali, “Sanzi utiyi, Maria kakuli cho va wani chishemo ni Ireza.”
31 and lo, thou shalt conceive in the womb, and shalt bring forth a son, and 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 Son of the Highest he shall be called, 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 to the ages; and of his reign 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 And Mary said unto the messenger, 'How shall this be, seeing a husband I do not know?'
Maria cha wamba kwi ñiloi, “Kai pangahale vule, kuvona kanini ku kopana ni mukwame?”,
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;
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 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;
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 because nothing shall be impossible with God.'
Kakuli kakwina chese nichi sa woleki ni Ireza.
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.
Maria chati “ubwene, ni muhikana wo mwanakazana wa Simwine.” Kuve vulyo kwangu kakuya che ñusa lyako. Mi iñiloi chilya musiya.
39 And Mary having arisen in those days, went to the hill-country, with haste, to a city of Judea,
Linu Maria ava vuki mwa awo mazuba, mi cha hwelela kuya kwi nkanda ye ziwulu, kwi tolopo mwa Judeya.
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
Ava yendi mwi nzuvo ya Zakariya mi chaka lumelisa Elizabeta.
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,
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 spake 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 to me, that the mother of my Lord might come unto me?
Mi chinzi hayi va pangahali kwangu kuti vanyina va Simwine wangu va swanela kwiza kwangu?
44 for, lo, when the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, leap in gladness did the babe in my womb;
Mu vwene, mulumo we ntumeliso zako ha ziza ku matwi angu, mbumbu yo wina mwi vumo lyangu ava shili nche intabo.
45 and happy [is] she who did believe, for there shall be a completion to the things spoken to 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,
Maria cha wamba, “Luhuho lwangu lu temba Simwine”,
47 And my spirit was glad on God my Saviour,
mi luhuho lwangu lusanga mwe Ireza mutusi wangu.
48 Because He looked on the lowliness of His maid-servant, For, lo, henceforth call me happy shall all the generations,
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 who is mighty did to me great things, And holy [is] His name,
Kakuli iye yo wina ziho chavani pangili zintu zikando mi izina lyakwe li jolola.
50 And His kindness [is] to generations of generations, To those fearing Him,
Chishemo chakwe chikalilile ku mahasi ni mahasi kwabo vamu tiya.
51 He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,
Chava tondezi ziho zakwe kache yanza: chaba hasani avo vavali kulikumuseza mihupulo ye nkulo zavo.
52 He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,
Chava soheli hansi vaana vavene simwine vechi kwame ha vuyendisi vwavo. mi chava nyamuni avo ba mazimo mavi.
53 The hungry He did fill with good, And the rich He sent away empty,
Chave zuzi avo va fwile inzala ni zintu zilotu, kono va humite avava tumini kule niva sena chintu.
54 He received again Israel His servant, To remember kindness,
Chava hi intuso kwa Isiraele muhikana wakwe, kupangila ku hupula ku tondeza chishemo
(mwava teli ku veshetu) kwa Aburahama niba mwi chilila kuya uko kusena mamanimani. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary remained with her about three months, and turned back to her house.
Maria ave kali ni Elizabeta ka miezi yo tatwe mi cha volela kwi nzuvo yakwe.
57 And to Elisabeth was the time fulfilled for her bringing forth, and she bare a son,
Hanu inako chi iva sikite ya Elizabeta kuti ahwizumuke muchiche mi ava pepi mwanaswisu.
58 and the neighbours and her kindred heard that the Lord was making His kindness great with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
Va vambene naye niva kwakwe vava zuwi kuti Simwine ava mutondenzi chishemo chakwe chikando kwali mi vava sangi naye.
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,
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 and his mother answering said, 'No, but he shall be called John.'
Kono va nyina chive tava ni kuwamba “Ne, mwa sumpwe Johani.”
61 And they said unto her — 'There is none among thy kindred who is called by this name,'
Chiva wamba kwali, “kakwina yenke mukati kava mwenu yo sumpwa keli zina.”
62 and they were making signs to his father, what he would wish him to be called,
Vava pangi zi supo kuvesi kupangila kuti vesi ve zive muvavali kusakila kuti a hewe izina.
63 and having asked for a tablet, he wrote, saying, 'John is his name;' and they did all wonder;
Vesi chiba kumbila chiñolelo mi chiva ñola, “izina lyakwe nji Johani”. Vonse vava komokwa.
64 and his mouth was opened presently, and his tongue, and he was speaking, praising God.
Haho vulyo kaholo kakwe kave yalulwa mi lulimi lwake luva lukululwa. Ava wambi niku lumba Ireza.
65 And fear came upon all those dwelling around them, and in all the hill-country of Judea were all these sayings spoken of,
Lyowa livezi havo vavali kwi kala muma bali avo. Zonse izi zintu ziva twala monse mwi inkanda za ziwulu za Judeya.
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.
Mi vonse vava vazuwi vava ziviki mwi nkulo zavo, kuwamba, “cwale uzu muhwile mwave chi?” Kakuli iyanza lya Simwine livena naye.
67 And Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and did prophesy, saying,
Vesi Zakariya ave zwile ni Luhuho lu Jolola mi cha polofita, kuwamba,
68 'Blessed [is] the Lord, the God of Israel, Because He did look upon, 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 did raise an horn of salvation to us, In the house of David His servant,
Chava tuzimikili luziya lwo kuhaza mwi nzuvo yo muhikana wakwe Davida,
hava wambi cha kaholo zama polofita va jolola bakwe va vena mwi nako ya kale kale. (aiōn g165)
71 Salvation from our enemies, And out of the hand of all hating us,
Mwa lete vu hazo vuzwilila ku zila zetu mi ni ku mayanza avo batu toyete.
72 To do kindness with our fathers, And to be mindful of His holy covenant,
Mwa pange vovuti ku totendeza chishemo chakwe ku veshetu mi ni ku hupula ku jolola kwe ntumelelano yakwe,
73 An oath that He sware to Abraham our father,
ku lisumina kwava wambi kwa Aburahama ishe etu.
74 To give to us, without fear, Out of the hand of our enemies having been delivered,
Ava sepisi kutuha kakuli tuba zwiswa muma yanza e zila zetu, katu mutendele niku sena lyowa,
75 To serve Him, in holiness and righteousness Before Him, all the days of our life.
muku jolola ni muku shiama ha vusu bwake onse mazuva etu.
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.
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 give knowledge of salvation to His people In remission of their sins,
kwiza kuha inzivo yo kuhazwa ku vantu vakwe kaku swalelwa kwa zivi zavo.
78 Through the tender mercies of our God, In which the rising from on high did look upon us,
Ichi kachi pangahale bakeñisa chishemo cha Ireza wetu, bakeñisa ke zuva lizwa kule lyese lize kuku tutusa.
79 To give light to those sitting in darkness and death-shade, To guide our feet to a 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 was strengthened in spirit, and he was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
Hanu mwana ava kuli niku kola mu luhuho, mi avena mumu zuka heisi izuva hali vonekisa kwa Isiraele.
