Luka 1
1 Bhamehele bhakitahidi kubheka simulizi mpangilio kuhusu masuala ambagho ghatimisibhu kati jhitu,
SINCE many have attempted to compose a narrative of facts, confirmed to us by the fullest evidence:
2 Kama kyabhatupelili tete, ambabho kuhomela kubhuandu twajhele mashahidi bha mihu ni bhatumishi bha bhajumbe.
exactly as they delivered them to us, who were eve witnesses from the first, 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 right to me also, having obtained accurate knowledge of all things from above, to write to thee in regular order, most excellent Theophilus,
4 Ili kwamba abhwesiajhi kumanya ukweli ghwa mambo ghaufundisibhu.
to the intent that thou mayest clearly know the certainty of those matters, concerning which thou hast been instructed.
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.
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abiah: and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elisabeth.
6 Bhoha bhajhele ni haki mbele sya k'yara; Bhagendili bila lawama mu amri syoha ni malagisu gha Bwana.
And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7 Lakini bhajhelepi ni muana, kwandabha Elizabeth ajhe tasa, ni kwa wakati obho bhuoha bhoha bhabhele bhajhele bhaseya sana.
And they had no child, because 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.
And it came to pass, as he discharged his priestly office in the order of his periodical ministration before God,
9 Kulengana ni desturi jha kuchagula ndo kuhani jholekhu jhaibetakuhudumu, jha ahagulibhu kwa kura kujhingila mu hekalu lya Bwana ni kabhele ngaafukizi uvumba.
according to the custom of the priesthood, it fell to his lot to burn the incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
10 Likundi lyoha lya bhanu likajha lis'oka kwibhala wakati bhwa kufukizibhwa kwa uvumba.
And all the multitude of people was praying without, at the time of the burning the incense.
11 Henu malaika bha Bwana bhan'tokili ni kujhenia lubhafu lwa kulia bhwa madhabahu gha kufukizila.
And an angel of the Lord appeared to him standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Zakaria atishiki bho ambwene; hofu jhambinili.
And Zacharias was agitated greatly at the sight, 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 unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bring thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
14 Wibetakujha ni furaha ni uchangamfu, ni bhingi bhibeta kuhobhokela kuhogoleka kwa muene.
And it shall give thee joy and exultation; and many shall rejoice at 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; and he shall never drink wine, nor any intoxicating liquor; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.
16 Ni bhanu bhingi bha Israel bhibeta kugeusibhwa kwa Bwana k'yara ghwa bhene.
And many of the children of Israel shall he turn unto 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.”
And he shall go forth before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to convert the hearts of fathers with their children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to prepare a people ready for the Lord.
18 Zakaria akan'jobhela malaika, “Nibetakubhwesya bhuli kumanya ele? kwandabha nene ne n'seya ni n'dala bhangu miaka ghya muene ghimehele sana.”
And Zacharias said to the angel, By what shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife far advanced in her age.
19 Malaika ajibili ni kun'jobhela, “Nene ne Gabrili, ambajhe nijhema palongolo pa K'yara. Nalaghisibhu kukujobhela, kukuletela habari ejhe njema.
And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and I have been sent to speak to thee, and to proclaim these glad tidings to thee.
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 behold, thou shalt be dumb, and unable to speak, until that day when these things shall come to pass, because thou hast not believed my words, which shall be fulfilled at their exact time.
21 Henu bhanu bhakajha bhakandela Zakaria. Bhasyangesibhu kujha ajhele itumila muda ghumehele mu hekalu.
And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
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 they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he himself made signs to them, and continued deaf and dumb.
23 Ikatokela kwamba lgono lya huduma jha muene bhosimaliki kukerebhuka kunyumba jha muene.
And it came to pass, when the days of his ministry were fulfilled, he went to his own house.
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 Elisabeth his wife conceived, and kept herself in retirement five months, saying,
25 “Ele ndo Bwana alibhombi kwa nene bho anilangili kwa upendeleo ili kujhibhosya soni jha nene palongolo pa bhanu.”
Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days in which he looked upon me to take 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,
Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, the name of which was 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 virgin of the house of David, betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
28 Akahida kwa muene ni kujobha, “salaam, bhebhe jhe upokili neema mbaha! Bwana apendisibhu nabhi”
And the angel coming in to her said, All hail! O thou highly favoured one! the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 Lakini malobhi gha malaika ghan'changenye na ajhelibhu lepi kwandabha jha kiki malaika ajobhili salaam ejhe jha ajabu kwa muene.
And when she saw him, she was greatly agitated at his address: and reasoned in herself what kind of salutation this could be.
30 Malaika akan'jobhela, “Usitili, Mariamu, kwandabha ukabhili neema kuhoma kwa k'yara.
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God.
31 Na langayi, na wibeta kuhogola muana. Ni bhebhe wibetakun'kuta lihina lya muene 'Yesu.'
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and thou shalt 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 Highest: and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father;
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 for ever, 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, How shall this be, seeing I know not man?
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.
And the angel answering said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee; wherefore also the Holy One that shall be born of thee, 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, Elisabeth thy cousin, she also hath conceived in her old age: and this is the fifth month of pregnancy with her who was called barren.
37 Kwandabha lijhelepi libeta kubwesekana kwa k'yara.”
For there is nothing impossible with God.
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 said Mary, Behold a servant of the Lord, be it to me according to thy declaration. And the angel departed from her.
39 Ndipo katika magono aghu Mariamu abhokili manyata alotili ku nchi jha vilima, ku mji katika nchi jha Yudea.
Then Mary arose in those days, and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah,
40 Alotili munyumba jha Zakaria ni kumponesya Elizabeth.
and entered into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elisabeth.
41 Bho ap'eliki salamu jha Mariamu, muana mulileme lya muene arukili, ni Elizabeth akamemesibhwa ni Roho mtakatifu.
And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped for joy in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
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 she exclaimed with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43 Na jhijhebhuli kwa nene kujha, mabhu ghwa Bwana bhangu jhilondekaghe ahidayi kwa nene?
And whence is this favour shewn me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Kwa kujha langayi, bhojhipelekiki mie mb'olokhoto mwa nene sauti jha kuponesya kwa jhobhi, muana mulileme lya nene aruki kwa furaha.
For, lo! as the voice of thy salutation reached my ears, the babe leaped for joy in 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 that hath believed; for there shall be a fulfilment of the things told her from the Lord.
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.
and my spirit hath exulted in God 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 hath looked upon the lowly state of his maid-servant: for, lo! henceforth shall all generations pronounce me blessed.
49 Kwandabha muene jha ajhe muweza abhombi mambo mabhaha kwa nene, ni lihina lya muene ni takatifu.
For the Mighty One hath 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.
And his mercy is upon those who fear him, from generation to generation.
51 Alasili nghofo kwa kibhoko kya muene; abhatawenye bhela bhabhikifuneghe panani pa mabhwasu gha mioyo ghya bhene.
He hath displayed strength from his arm; he hath scattered the 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 hath cast down potentates from the throne, and hath exalted the lowly.
53 Abheshibishi bhenye njala kwa fenu finofu, bali matajiri abhabhengili mabhoko mat'opu.
He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
54 Ahomisi msaada kwa Israeli n'tumishi ghwa muene, ili kukhomboka kulasya rehema.
He hath succoured Israel his servant, that he might be mindful of mercy for ever; (aiōn g165)
as he had spoken to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed.
56 Mariamu atamili ni Elizabeth yapata miesi midatu efe ndo akakerebhuka kunyumba jha muene.
And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her home.
57 Henu wakati bhwajhele uwadili kwa Elizabeth kwifungula mwana bhwa muene ni kwifungula mwana ghwa kigosi.
Now Elisabeth’s time was up that she should be delivered; and she brought 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 neighbours and her relations heard, that the Lord had magnified his mercy upon her; and they congratulated 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 it came to pass, on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him after the name of his father, Zacharias.
60 Lakini nyinamunu ajibili ni kujobhoha, “Lepi; ibeta kukutibhwa Yohana.”
And his mother spake and said, No; but he shall be called John.
61 Bhakan'jobhela ajhelepi hata mmonga kwa bhalongobhu jhaikutibhwa kwa lihina e'le.”
And they said to her, There is not one among thy relations, who is called by this name.
62 Bhakambombela ishara Dadimunu kuashiria muene alondeghe lihina akutibhwayi niani.
And they made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
63 Dadi munu alondeghe kibao kya kulembela, na akalemba, “Lihina lya muene Yohana.” Bhoha bhasyangesibhu ni e'le.
And desiring a writing tablet, he wrote, saying, John is his name. And they were all surprised.
64 Ghafla ndomo ghwa muene ghwafungulibhu ni lumilu lwa muene lwajhele huru. Akalongela ni kun'sifu k'yara.
Instantly then his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosed, and he burst out in praises to God.
65 Hofu jhikabhahidila bhoha bhabhaishieghe karibu nabhu. Mambo agha ghakaenela mu nchi jhioha jha vilima vya Yudea.
And great awe fell on all those who dwelt around them: and in all the mountainous country of Judea, all these circumstances were the subject of conversation.
66 Na bhoha bhabhap'eliki bhaghatunzili mu mioyo ghya bhene, bhakajobha, “Muana ojho kujha ghwa namna jheleku?” kwandabha kibhoko kya Bwana kyajhele pamonga naku.
And all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, Well! what a child will this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 Dadimunu Zekaria amemesibhu ni Roho mtakatifu na ahomisi unabii, akajobha,
And Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Ghost, 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 hath visited and wrought redemption for his people;
69 Atujhimelili pembe jha wokovu mu nyumba jha mtumishi bhwa muene Daudi, kuh'oma miongoni mwa mtumishi bhwa muene Daudi,
and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David:
as he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been from the beginning: (aiōn g165)
71 Ibeta kutuokola kuhoma kwa bhaadui bhitu ni kuhoma mumabhoko gha bhoha bha bhatudadili.
even preservation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
72 Ibeta kubhomba naha kulasya rehema kwa Dadi jhitu ni kukhomboka agano lya muene takatifu,
to perform mercy towards our fathers, and to remember his own holy covenant:
73 Kiapo kyaajobhili kwa Abrahamu Dadi jhitu.
the oath which he sware to Abraham our father,
74 Alapili kuthibitisya kwamba ngajhibhwesekene kun'tumikila muene bila bhuogha baada jha kuokolebhwa kuhoma mu mabhoko jha maadui bhitu.
to give us, that we, secure from fear, rescued from the hands of our enemies, should serve him,
75 Mu utakatifu ni haki palongolo pa tete magono ghitu ghoha.
in righteousness and holiness before him, all the days of our life.
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 face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
77 kujha bhibeta kuokolibhwa kwa njela jha kusamehebhwa dhambi sya bhene.
to give the knowledge of salvation to his people, by 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 bowels of mercy of our God; with which he hath visited us, as the dawn of the morning from on high,
79 Kajhangasya kwa bhene bhabhitama mu ngisi ni mu kivuli kya mauti. Ibeta kubhomba naha kujhilongosya magolo ghitu ku njela jha amani.”
to illumine those who sat in darkness, and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet into the way 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 mighty in spirit, and was in the deserts until the days of his public exhibition to Israel.
