Luka 1
1 Bhamehele bhakitahidi kubheka simulizi mpangilio kuhusu masuala ambagho ghatimisibhu kati jhitu,
Seeing that many have taken it in hand to draw up an account of those matters which have been fully established among us,
2 Kama kyabhatupelili tete, ambabho kuhomela kubhuandu twajhele mashahidi bha mihu ni bhatumishi bha bhajumbe.
just as they reported them to us, who were from beginning eye- witnesses and ministers of the word,
3 Hivyo ni nene kabhele, baada jha kuchungusya kwa uangalifu chanzo kya mambo ghoha agha kuhoma kubhuandu - nibhuene ni kinofu kwa nene kabhele kukuj'handikila mu mpangilio bhuake - mheshimibhwa Theofilo.
it seemed good to me also accurately, from the very beginning, to write them to you in order, most excellent Theophilus,
4 Ili kwamba abhwesiajhi kumanya ukweli ghwa mambo ghaufundisibhu.
so that you may know the certainty of the story which you have been taught by the word of mouth.
5 Katika magono gha Herode, mfalme ghwa Yudea, pajhele ni kuhani fulani jhaakutibhweghe Zakaria, bhwa lukholo lwa Abiya. N'dala munu ahomili mu bhabinti bha Haruni, ni lihina lya muene akutibhweghe Elizabeth.
In the reign of Herod, King of Judea, there was a certain priest, named Zachariah, belonging to the class of Abijah. He had a wife named Elizabeth,
6 Bhoha bhajhele ni haki mbele sya k'yara; Bhagendili bila lawama mu amri syoha ni malagisu gha Bwana.
who was a descendant of Aaron. They were both righteous in the sight of the Lord, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the law, blameless.
7 Lakini bhajhelepi ni muana, kwandabha Elizabeth ajhe tasa, ni kwa wakati obho bhuoha bhoha bhabhele bhajhele bhaseya sana.
Now they had no child, for Elizabeth was barren, and both were far advanced in years.
8 Henu jhatokili kujha Zakaria ajhele ku uwepo bhwa K'yara, akajhendelela ni wajibu bhwa kikuhani ku utaratibu bhwa zamu jha muene.
Now while Zachariah was acting as priest before God in the due course of his class, it fell to his lot, according to the custom of priesthood,
9 Kulengana ni desturi jha kuchagula ndo kuhani jholekhu jhaibetakuhudumu, jha ahagulibhu kwa kura kujhingila mu hekalu lya Bwana ni kabhele ngaafukizi uvumba.
to enter into the sanctuary of the Lord and to burn incense.
10 Likundi lyoha lya bhanu likajha lis'oka kwibhala wakati bhwa kufukizibhwa kwa uvumba.
And the whole multitude of the people were without, praying at the hour of incense.
11 Henu malaika bha Bwana bhan'tokili ni kujhenia lubhafu lwa kulia bhwa madhabahu gha kufukizila.
Then there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Zakaria atishiki bho ambwene; hofu jhambinili.
And as he saw him Zachariah was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
13 Lakini malaika akan'jobhela, “Usitili Zakaria, kwandabha maombi gha jhobhi nighap'eliki. N'dala bhu Elizabeth ibeta kuhogola mwana. Lihina lya muene wibetakun'kuta Yohana.
But the Angel said to him. "Do not be afraid, Zachariah, because your petition has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.
14 Wibetakujha ni furaha ni uchangamfu, ni bhingi bhibeta kuhobhokela kuhogoleka kwa muene.
"And he shall be to you a joy and an exultation, and many shall rejoice over his birth.
15 Kwa kujha wibetakujha wembahe pa mihu gha Bwana. Ibetalepi kunywa divai wala kinywaji kikali, na ibeta kujha ajasibhu ni Roho mtakatifu kuhomela mu lileme lya nyinamunu.
"For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, "He shall drink neither wine nor strong drink, "He shall be filled with the Holy Spirit from the hour of his birth,
16 Ni bhanu bhingi bha Israel bhibeta kugeusibhwa kwa Bwana k'yara ghwa bhene.
"And shall win many of the sons of Israel to the Lord, their God.
17 Ibeta kulota palongolo pa mihu pa Bwana ku Roho ni nghofu sya Eliya. Ibeta kubhomba naha ili kukerebhusya mioyo ghya Dadi kwa bhana, ili kwamba bhabhibela kutii bhibeta kulota mu hekima jha bhenye haki. Ibeta kubhomba naha ili kubheka tayari kwa Bwana bhanu ambabho bhaandalibhu kwa ndabha jha muene.”
"He shall go before Him in the wisdom and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, and so to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him."
18 Zakaria akan'jobhela malaika, “Nibetakubhwesya bhuli kumanya ele? kwandabha nene ne n'seya ni n'dala bhangu miaka ghya muene ghimehele sana.”
"How shall I be sure of this?" said Zachariah to the Angel. "For I am an old man and my wife is advanced in years."
19 Malaika ajibili ni kun'jobhela, “Nene ne Gabrili, ambajhe nijhema palongolo pa K'yara. Nalaghisibhu kukujobhela, kukuletela habari ejhe njema.
"I am Gabriel," answered the angel, "who stand in the presence of God; and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring and to bring you this good news.
20 Na langayi, wibetalepi kulongela, wibetakujha kununu, wibetalepi kulongela mpaka ligono lela mambo agha pa ghibeta kuhomela. Ejhe Kwandabha ghwa shindilu kukiera malobhi ghangu ambagho ghibeta kutimisibhwa kwa wakati mwafaka.”
"And now you shall be silent and unable to speak until the day the day when this has taken place; because you did not believe my words - Words which will be fulfilled at their appointed time."
21 Henu bhanu bhakajha bhakandela Zakaria. Bhasyangesibhu kujha ajhele itumila muda ghumehele mu hekalu.
Meanwhile the people were waiting for Zachariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the sanctuary.
22 Lakini bho ahomili kwibhala, abhwesilepi kulongela nabhu. Bhakatambula kujha ibeta kujha akabhili maono bho ajhe mu hekalu. Ajhendelili kulasya ishara ni kubakila kinunu.
And when he came out he could not speak to them, and then they knew that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them and remained dumb.
23 Ikatokela kwamba lgono lya huduma jha muene bhosimaliki kukerebhuka kunyumba jha muene.
As soon as his term of priestly service was ended he went home;
24 Baada jha Zakaria kukerebhuka kunyumba kuhoma ku huduma jha muene jhe hekalu, n'dala munu ajhe ni luleme. Ni muene abhokilepi panyumba jha muene kwa muda bhwa miezi mitano. Akajobha,
and after those days Elizabeth, his wife, Conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying.
25 “Ele ndo Bwana alibhombi kwa nene bho anilangili kwa upendeleo ili kujhibhosya soni jha nene palongolo pa bhanu.”
"This has the Lord done for me. He has now deigned to take the away my reproach among men."
26 Henu, pa mwesi ghwa sita bhwa luleme lwa Elizabeth, k'yara an'jobhili malaika Gabrieli kulota ku mji ghwa Galilaya bhwawikutibhwa Nazareti,
Six months later the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee, called Nazareth,
27 Kwa bikra jha aposibhu ni n'gosi ambajhe lihina lya muene lyajhele Yusufu. Muene ajhele bhwa lukholo lwa Daudi, ni lihina lya bikra ojhu ajhele Mariamu.
to a maiden betrothed to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. Her name was Mary.
28 Akahida kwa muene ni kujobha, “salaam, bhebhe jhe upokili neema mbaha! Bwana apendisibhu nabhi”
The angel went in and said to her. "Joy to you, highly favored one! "The Lord is with you."
29 Lakini malobhi gha malaika ghan'changenye na ajhelibhu lepi kwandabha jha kiki malaika ajobhili salaam ejhe jha ajabu kwa muene.
Mary was greatly agitated at his word, and was revolving in her mind what this salutation could mean.
30 Malaika akan'jobhela, “Usitili, Mariamu, kwandabha ukabhili neema kuhoma kwa k'yara.
when the angel said to her. "Fear not Mary, for you have found grace with God.
31 Na langayi, na wibeta kuhogola muana. Ni bhebhe wibetakun'kuta lihina lya muene 'Yesu.'
"And behold, you shall conceive in your womb and bear a son; and you shall call his name Jesus.
32 Ibeta kujha mbaha ne ibeta kukutibhwa mwana jha ajhee panani sana. Bwana k'yara ibeta kump'ela kiti kya enzi kya Daudi dadimunu.
"He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High. "And the Lord God will give him the throne of his forefather David,
33 Ibeta kutawala panani pa lukholo lwa Yakobo milele ni ufalme bhwa muene wibetalepi kujha ni mwisho. (aiōn g165)
"and he shall reign over the House of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end." (aiōn g165)
34 Mariamu akan'jobhela malaika, e'le libetakutokela kwa muda gani, ndabha nibhwajhi lepi kugona ni n'gosi jhejhioha?
And Mary said to the angel. "How can this be? For I have no husband?"
35 Malaika ajibili ni kun'jobhela, “Roho mtakatifu ibeta kuhidila juu jha bhebhe, ni nghofu jha ajhekunani sana jhibeta kuhida panani pa bhebhe. kwa hiyo, mtakatifu jha ibeta kuhogoleka ibeta kukutibhwa mwana ghwa K'yara.
"The Holy Spirit shall come upon you," said the angel, "and the power of the most High shall overshadow you, and therefore the holy offspring which is born, shall be called the son of God.
36 Na langayi, ndongo bhu Elizabeth ajhe ni luleme lwa mwana mu umri bhwa muene bhwa useya. Obho ndo mwesu ghwa sita kwa muene, ambajhe ambajhe akutibhweghe mgumba.
"And behold your kinswoman, Elizabeth, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this was the sixth month with her that was called barren.
37 Kwandabha lijhelepi libeta kubwesekana kwa k'yara.”
"For no word of God shall be void of power."
38 Mariamu akajobha, “Langayi, nene na n'tumishi n'dala ghwa Bwana. Lekajhi jhijhelayi naha kwa nene sawasawa ni ujumbe bhwa jhobhi.” Kisha malaika akandeka.
Then Mary said. "Behold I am Lord’s slave. Let it be to me as you have said." Then the angel departed from her.
39 Ndipo katika magono aghu Mariamu abhokili manyata alotili ku nchi jha vilima, ku mji katika nchi jha Yudea.
Soon after this Mary set out and hastened unto the hill-country to a town in Judah;
40 Alotili munyumba jha Zakaria ni kumponesya Elizabeth.
and there she came into the house of Zachariah, and greeted Elizabeth.
41 Bho ap'eliki salamu jha Mariamu, muana mulileme lya muene arukili, ni Elizabeth akamemesibhwa ni Roho mtakatifu.
And when Elizabeth heard her salutation, the babe leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth herself was filled with the Holy Spirit,
42 Apazili sauti jha muene ni kujobha kwa sauti mbaha, “ubarikibhu bhebhe zaidi miongoni mwa bhadala, ni muana jha ajhele mu lileme lya jhobhi abarikibhu.
and called out with a loud cry. "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is your unborn child!
43 Na jhijhebhuli kwa nene kujha, mabhu ghwa Bwana bhangu jhilondekaghe ahidayi kwa nene?
"But why is this honor done me, that the mother of my Lord should come me?
44 Kwa kujha langayi, bhojhipelekiki mie mb'olokhoto mwa nene sauti jha kuponesya kwa jhobhi, muana mulileme lya nene aruki kwa furaha.
"For behold when the sound of your salutation reached my ears, the babe leaped with joy within my womb.
45 Na abarikibhu n'dala jhola ambajhe akyeriri jha kujha ngeuhomili ukamilifu bhwa mambo ghala ghaajobhibhu kuhoma kwa Bwana.”
"And blessed is she who believed that the Lord’s words spoken to her would be fulfilled."
46 Mariamu akajobha, nafsi jha nene jhikan'sifu Bwana,
And Mary said. "My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 ni roho jha nene jhibiobhwiki kwa k'yara mwokozi ghwangu.
"My spirit exults in the God, who is my Saviour,
48 Kwandabha ajhilangili hali jha pasi jha n'tumishi bhwa muene n'dala. Langayi, tangu henu mu fizazi fyoha bhibeta kunikuta mbarikibhwa.
"For he has regarded the humiliation of his slave, And from this hour all ages will count me blessed.
49 Kwandabha muene jha ajhe muweza abhombi mambo mabhaha kwa nene, ni lihina lya muene ni takatifu.
"For he who is mighty has done great things for me; And holy is his name.
50 Rehema jha muene jhidumu kuh'oma kizazi hadi kizazi kwa bhale bhabhaken'heshimu muene.
"His mercy is unto generations and generations on those who reverence him.
51 Alasili nghofo kwa kibhoko kya muene; abhatawenye bhela bhabhikifuneghe panani pa mabhwasu gha mioyo ghya bhene.
"He has showed strength with his arm. "He has scattered proud in the imagination of their hearts;
52 Abhaselisi pasi bhana bha bhafalme kuhoma pa fiti fya bhene fya enzi ni kubhajhinula panani bhabhejhele bha hali jha pasi.
"he has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted those of low degree.
53 Abheshibishi bhenye njala kwa fenu finofu, bali matajiri abhabhengili mabhoko mat'opu.
"The hungry he has filled with good things, But the rich he has sent empty away.
54 Ahomisi msaada kwa Israeli n'tumishi ghwa muene, ili kukhomboka kulasya rehema.
"He has helped Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
"As he spoke to our forefathers, to Abraham and his offspring forever." (aiōn g165)
56 Mariamu atamili ni Elizabeth yapata miesi midatu efe ndo akakerebhuka kunyumba jha muene.
So Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and returned home.
57 Henu wakati bhwajhele uwadili kwa Elizabeth kwifungula mwana bhwa muene ni kwifungula mwana ghwa kigosi.
Now when the time of Elizabeth’s delivery was come, she gave birth to a son;
58 Majirani bha muene ni bhalongo munu bhap'eliki jinsi Bwana kya ajhikuzili rehema kwa muene, na bhahobhwiki pamonga ni muene.
and her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her,
59 Henu jhatokili ligono lya nane kwamba bhahidili kun'tahiri muana. Jhilondekaghe kun'kuta lihina lya muene, “Zekaria,” kwa kuzingatila lihina lya Dadimunu,
and came on the eighth day to circumcise the child. They were about to call him "Zachariah," after his father,
60 Lakini nyinamunu ajibili ni kujobhoha, “Lepi; ibeta kukutibhwa Yohana.”
when his mother said, "No, he is to be called John."
61 Bhakan'jobhela ajhelepi hata mmonga kwa bhalongobhu jhaikutibhwa kwa lihina e'le.”
Said they, "You have no relatives of that name!"
62 Bhakambombela ishara Dadimunu kuashiria muene alondeghe lihina akutibhwayi niani.
Then they asked his father by signs what he wished to call the child.
63 Dadi munu alondeghe kibao kya kulembela, na akalemba, “Lihina lya muene Yohana.” Bhoha bhasyangesibhu ni e'le.
So he asked for a writing tablet and wrote down, "His name is John."
64 Ghafla ndomo ghwa muene ghwafungulibhu ni lumilu lwa muene lwajhele huru. Akalongela ni kun'sifu k'yara.
Every one was surprised, and at once his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.
65 Hofu jhikabhahidila bhoha bhabhaishieghe karibu nabhu. Mambo agha ghakaenela mu nchi jhioha jha vilima vya Yudea.
And there came a great fear upon all in the neighborhood; and throughout the hill country of Judea all these sayings were much talked about.
66 Na bhoha bhabhap'eliki bhaghatunzili mu mioyo ghya bhene, bhakajobha, “Muana ojho kujha ghwa namna jheleku?” kwandabha kibhoko kya Bwana kyajhele pamonga naku.
All the story laid it up in their hearts, saying "What, then, will this child be?" For the Lord’s hands was with him.
67 Dadimunu Zekaria amemesibhu ni Roho mtakatifu na ahomisi unabii, akajobha,
And his father, Zachariah, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying.
68 “Asifibhwayi Bwana, k'yara ghwa Israeli, kwandabha asaidili na ashughulikili wokovu bhwa bhanu bha muene.
"Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, For he has visited and redeemed his people,
69 Atujhimelili pembe jha wokovu mu nyumba jha mtumishi bhwa muene Daudi, kuh'oma miongoni mwa mtumishi bhwa muene Daudi,
"And has raised up a mighty Deliverer for us In the house of his servant David,
"As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets Which have been since the world began (aiōn g165)
71 Ibeta kutuokola kuhoma kwa bhaadui bhitu ni kuhoma mumabhoko gha bhoha bha bhatudadili.
To deliver us from our enemies, and from the power Of all who hate us.
72 Ibeta kubhomba naha kulasya rehema kwa Dadi jhitu ni kukhomboka agano lya muene takatifu,
"He showed mercy to our forefathers, He remembered his holy covenant,
73 Kiapo kyaajobhili kwa Abrahamu Dadi jhitu.
"The oath which he swore to Abraham, our forefather,
74 Alapili kuthibitisya kwamba ngajhibhwesekene kun'tumikila muene bila bhuogha baada jha kuokolebhwa kuhoma mu mabhoko jha maadui bhitu.
"That he we should be delivered out of the Hand of our enemies, And should serve him without fear,
75 Mu utakatifu ni haki palongolo pa tete magono ghitu ghoha.
"In holiness and righteousness before him All our days.
76 Ena, ni nabii ghwa ajhele panani sana, kwa kujha wibetakulota palongolo pa mihu pa Bwana ili kubhajhendalila njela, kubhaandala bhanu kwa ndabha jha ujio bhwa muene,
"And thou, child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Most High, For thou shalt go before the Lord to prepare the way
77 kujha bhibeta kuokolibhwa kwa njela jha kusamehebhwa dhambi sya bhene.
"To give to his people a knowledge of salvation Through the remission of their sins,
78 Ele libeta kuhomela kwa ndabha jha huruma jha k'yara ghwitu, sababu ambajho lijobha kuhomela kunani libeta kutu hidila,
"Through the heart of mercy of our God, Whereby the Dayspring from on high shall visit us,
79 Kajhangasya kwa bhene bhabhitama mu ngisi ni mu kivuli kya mauti. Ibeta kubhomba naha kujhilongosya magolo ghitu ku njela jha amani.”
"To give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, And to guide our feet into the paths of peace."
80 Henu, muana jhola akakhola ni kujha mwenye nghofu mu roho na atamili nyikani mpaka ligono lya kwitokesya kwa muene kwa Israeli.
And the child grew, and became strong in the Spirit, and remained in the desert till the day of his showing to Israel.
