Luka 1
1 Idu naakagupile kuika uza imahumo ayo naakondigwe kung'witu,
Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
2 anga naakupee usese kupuma ung'wandyo naaihengile kumiho nitumi alukani.
even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
3 Kululo unene nanakomanilya ung'wandyo wa nkani izi yihi kupuma ung'wandyo naona uza kitalane hangi kuandikila unoneligwa wakwe mkuligwa wakwe Theofilo.
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;
4 Kina uhume kumanya itai ankani naumanyisigwe.
that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
5 Mumahiku ang'wa Herode, mtemi wa Yuda, aukole umdimi naiwitangwa Zakaria, nuaukoo wang'wa Abia musungu akwe akapuma kuwa nanso ang'wa Haruni, nilina lakwe aiwitangwa Elizabethi.
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
6 Ihi akete itai pantongeela ang'wi Tunda, aakugenda aziagili anga ubi mumalagilyo ihi na mukulu.
They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
7 Aagila anga ng'wana kunsoko u Elizabeti aimugumba, aya ihi abili aina anyampala.
But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
8 Ikatula na ukituma imilimo akidimi akaziunonelya kuntongeela ang'wi Tunda.
Now it happened, while he was performing the priest's office before God in the order of his division,
9 Kutyata uigobi naizaigombilye kumupata umudimi nua kenda kunyuunkilya uvumba kunyumba ang'wi Tunda.
according to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10 Ilundo lili nilaantu ailikoli kunzi likazilompa imatungo nuvumba nukutunkiilya.
And the whole crowd of people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
11 Malaika wa mukulu aupumie akimika mukono wa kigoha wa kikumbikilo la kunyunkilya.
An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 U Zakaria wikatinuka nuika muona; uoa wika mugwila.
Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
13 Ingigwa umalaika akamuila, “Leka kogopa Zakaria, kunsoko imalompi ako igigwa u musungu u Elizabethi ukuutugila ung'wana ilina lakwe ukumitanga Yohana.
But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.
14 Ukula nuulowa na idu niakuulowa kutu gwa kung'wakwe.
You will have joy and gladness; and many will rejoice at his birth.
15 Kunsoko ukutula mukulu mumiho amukulu. Sanga ukung'wa idivai anwi ikigalyo nikilulu, ukutula uiizuligwa ng'wa ung'welu kupuma munda ang'wa nyinya.
For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he must never drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
16 Niantu idu nia Israeli akupiulwa kung'witunda wao.
He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord, their God.
17 Winzu pantongeela amukulu kunkolo ang'wa aung'welu ningulu yang'wa Eliya. Ukituma iti kunsoko akususha ikolo yaana ingigwa awa nishaigomba ilongola kuwa hugu niatai. Ukituma iti kuaika antu ihambe kumukulu kinoneelya kunsoko akwe.
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 make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
18 U Zakaria akamuila umalaika, kuhuma uli kuhuma ili? Kunsoko unene nimunyampala numusungu wane imyaka akwila.
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."
19 Umalaika akasusha akamwila unene ni Gabrieli, numika pantongeela ang'wi Tunda. Ntumilwe kuila, ulukani nuluza.
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.
20 Hangi goza, shukuligitya, ukukilaja, shukuhuma kuligitya sunga uluhiku ulo inkani izi ni ziza kupumila iyi kunsoko aulemilwe kuhuili nkani yane niziza yakondaniligwa kumatungo ane.
And look, you will be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things will happen, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time."
21 Iantu aamulindie u Zakaria. Ikakuilwa nautinilye mitekeelo.
The people were waiting for Zechariah, and they were wondering why he was delayed in the temple.
22 Naiwapuma kunzi singa akahuma kuligitya nung'wenso. Ikalinga kina awa apa akakunukuilwa naukole mitekeelo. Akalongoleka kulagiila iilinga silyo hangi aka kilaja twi.
When he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.
23 Imahiku amilimo naahila akasuka kitalakwe.
It happened, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
24 Matungo u Zakaria naiwakondya kituma imilimo akwe mitekeelo, umusungu akaamba ulito nuanso singa akapuma mitalakwe nimatungo amyeli itaano, akalunga.
After these days Elizabeth, his wife, conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,
25 Ulu lulu naiwitumile umukulu kitalane kwa uuza kuheja iminyala kuntongeela aantu.”
"Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my disgrace among people."
26 Elizabethi naiwapisha inda amyeli mutandatu, Itunda akamuila umalaika Gabrieli longola kukisali nikitangwa Galilaya ni Nazareti,
Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 munanso nauligigwe numuhumba ilina lakwe naiwitangwa Yusufu nuanso amuluna wang'wa Daudi, umunanso nuanso aiwitangwa Mariamu.
to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.
28 Akaza kitalakwe akalunga 'Nusigilye uhumi Nukulu Nitunda uloeeigwe.”
Having come in, the angel said to her, "Greetings, favored one. The Lord is with you."
29 Kululo inkani u malaika auhalinkanilye akahita kulinga kuniki umalaika atambule imakuilwa akwe.
But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of greeting this might be.
30 Umalaika akamwila, “Leka kogopa, Mariamu, kunsoko uupatile uhumi kupuma kung'witunda.
The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 Goza gwa, ukukenka inda ukutuga ungwana. Ukumitanga Yesu.'
And look, you will conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and will call his name 'Jesus.'
32 Ukutula ngwana nua Mkulu migulya Itunda ukumupa ituntu lanywa Daudi utata akwe.
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,
and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom." (aiōn g165)
34 Mariamu akamwila ikutuika uli, iza nkili kihugeela numitunja wihi?
Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?"
35 Malaika akamwila akalunga, “Ng'wang'welu ukuuhanga migulya ningulu yako uyu nukutugwa ukitangwa ng'wang'wi Tunda.
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 will be called the Son of God.
36 Goza, umuluna wang'wa Elizabethi ukete nda ang'wana nunyampala wakwe ukete mieli mtandatu, naiwilwa mugumba.
And look, Elizabeth, your relative, also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
37 Kunsoko kutili nilihumile kung'wiTunda.”
For with God nothing will be impossible."
38 Mariamu akalunga, “Goza, une nimukulu numusungu wang'wi Tunda. Leka itule uu kitalane iza nulukani lako.” Umalaika akamleka.
And Mary said, "See, the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word." The angel departed from her.
39 Kululo imahiku yayo u Mariamu akahega akenda mihe na malugulu, mihe na mukisali nitangwa Yudea.
Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,
40 Akalongola munyumba ang'wa Zakaria akamulamusha u Elizabethi.
and entered into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
41 Itungili aipumie kuiti u Elizabethi naiwigule imilamu ang'wa Mariamu ung'wana munda akwe akaputa nu Elizabethi akizula ingulu yang'wawelu.
It happened, when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, that the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
42 Akitunta kululi nulukulu akalunga akaligitilya akitunta kululi nulukulu akalunga ue kukiila muasungu nu ng'wana nukoli muda ako ukembetilwe.
She called out with a loud voice, and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
43 Ingi gwa atuile uli kitalane uiya wang'wa tata ane aze kitalane?
Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Kunsoko goza naiwigule muakutue ako ululi imilamu ako ung'wana munda ane auputile kilumbi.
For look, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy.
45 Nu ng'wenso ukia nai uhuiie; kundogoelyo akukondeeligwa nai utambuiwe nu Mukulu.
Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord."
46 U Mariamu akaligitya, nkolo ane ikumulumbiilya u Mukulu,
Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord.
47 nu ng'wau nuane imiloeeye Itunda, Muguni nuane.
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 Kunsoko uugozile u unyeku nua mutugwa nuakwe. Kundogoelyo, goza, pumiila itungili ulelwa wihi akunintanga mukendepwa.
for he has looked at the humble state of his servant girl. For look, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
49 Kunsoko munyangulu wantendeela makulu, ni lina nilakwe inge inyelu.
For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
50 Nu ukende nuakwe wikiee ulelwa ga nu ulelwa ku awo ni umukulyaa.
His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear him.
51 Uzipilye ngulu ku mukono nuakwe; uasapatiiye niakete ulugoha mu masigo a nkolo ni ao.
He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 Uagwisilye i akulu mu matuntu ao na ukulu ni anyeku uanankiiye.
He has put down princes from their thrones. And has exalted the lowly.
53 Anya nzala uikutilye ukende, ni anya nsao uahegilye mikono mitili.
He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.
54 Umiiaiiye u Israeli munyamulimo nuakwe, iti wikimbukiilye u ukende nuakwe
He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his offspring forever." (aiōn g165)
56 Mariamu akikie nu Elizabeti mieli itaatu uu gwa ikatulika akasuka kito.
Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.
57 Matungo nai apika u Elizabeti akitunguila ng'wana mgoha.
Now the time that Elizabeth should give birth was fulfilled, and she brought forth a son.
58 Ianya kisali akwe nialuna akwe naigule umukulu uza.
Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they rejoiced with her.
59 Naiapikile mahiku munana aiazila kumtala kukidamu umung'enya akamitanga lina lakwe Zakaria kushatilya ilina lang'wi he.
It happened on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zechariah, after the name of the father.
60 Ingigwa unyinya akwe akasusha akalunga aa ukitangwa Yohana.
His mother answered, "Not so; but he will be called John."
61 Kamuila kutile hata nung'wi kua luna ako nuitangwa ilina nilanso.
They said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name."
62 Akatula kilinga silyo ihe itangwe nyinyu.
They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
63 Ihe akalowa ahole ikibao andike “Ilina lakwe Yohana.” Ihi ika ambwa ikuilywa kua ili.
And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they were all amazed.
64 Itungo umulomo wakwe ukaluguka nulimi lakwe likaligitya nukumukulya Itunda.
His mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.
65 Uoa ukaizila wihi naiakolipakupi nung'wenso. Makani ikasambaila mihi ihi mulugulu mung'wa Yudea ayo.
Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.
66 Ihi ayo naigule ikamaika munkolo yao akalunga ung'wana uyu wiuli? Kunsoko umukano wang'wa tata ukoli palung'wi nung'wenso.
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.
67 Ihe akwe u Zakaria ung'wang'welu munya kidagu akalunga,
His father, Zechariah, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
68 “Akuligwe Itunda mukulu wa Israeli, kunsoko auiye kuleta uguniki kuantu akwe.
"Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited and worked redemption for his people;
69 Wakimikiye lupembe nu uhuili wa nyumba nai mitumi akwe u Daudi,
and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
(as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets who have been from of old), (aiōn g165)
71 Ukakuguna muabi itu kupuma mumikono akwe nia kubipiwe.
salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us;
72 Ukende uu kulagilya uza wang'wa tata itu, kilingasilyo lakwe ni za,

74 Uine kigeleka uhumile kutuma bila woa, kekahuma kugunwa kupuma muabi itu.
to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, should serve him without fear,
75 Kuite uza nitai kuntongela itu imahiku ihi.
In holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
76 Uu nu ewe munya kidagu nukole migulya kunsoko ukulongoleka kunsoko amukulu kumunonelya inzila kuwanonelya iantu kunsoko aupembelyo wakwe.
And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to make ready his ways,
77 Kualingasa iantu akwe kugunwa imilandu ao.
to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins,
78 Ulu lutuile kinyauwai wang'wi Itunda witu kunsoko ilyoa lukupuma hange.
because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the dawn from on high will visit us,
79 Kelya kuantu nikie mkiti nao niikie mumulule wa nsha ukituma iti kumitongeela imigulu itu munzila aupolo.
to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace."
80 Ung'wana uyo akatula ningulu mkolo nukikie mumbuga sunga mihaea akingila kitalakwe kung'wa Israeli
The child was growing, and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
