Luke 1
1 Nu sum, Theophilus, su fal in akfulatyeyuk: Pus mwet ma arulana oaru in orani ac simusla ma su sikyak inmasrlosr.
Many have taken on the work of putting together an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,
2 Elos simusla ma su fwackme nu sesr sin mwet ma sifacna liye ma inge ac sulkakinelik ke tufahna mutawauk me.
just as they were passed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.
3 Ke ma inge, leum fulat luk, ke sripen nga liksreni na lohang in lutlut ke ma inge ke mutawauk me, nga sifacna nunku mu ac wona ngan takunla nu sum ma sikyak uh.
So it seemed good to me also, because I have accurately investigated everything from the beginning, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,
4 Nga oru ma inge kom in mau etu na pwaye ke ma nukewa ma lutiyuk kom kac.
so that you might know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
5 In pacl se ma Herod el tuh tokosra in acn Judea, tuh oasr mwet tol se pangpang Zechariah, su ma in u lal Abijah, mwet tol. Mutan kial ah pa Elizabeth, su ma in fwilin tulik natul Aaron, mwet tol.
In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a certain priest named Zechariah, from the division of Abijah. His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
6 Eltal kewa moulkin moul na suwohs ye mutun God, ac arulana oaru in akos ma sap ac oakwuk nukewa lun Leum God.
They were both righteous before God, obeying all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
7 Wangin tulik natultal, mweyen Elizabeth el tia ku in orek tulik, ac el ac Zechariah tukenina matuoh.
But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both very old by this time.
8 Sie len ah Zechariah el oru orekma in tol lal ke sun pacl lun u lal in kulansap in Tempul.
Now it came about that Zechariah was in God's presence, carrying out the priestly duties in the order of his division.
9 In oana oakwuk nu sin mwet tol uh, srisrngiyuki ke fa mu ac ma kunal in akosak mwe keng fin loang uh. Ouinge el utyak nu in Tempul lun Leum God,
According to the customary way of choosing which priest would serve, he had been chosen by lot to enter into the temple of the Lord to burn incense.
10 ac mwet puspis elos pre likinum uh ke ao in kisa mwe keng uh.
The whole crowd of people was praying outside at the hour when the incense was burned.
11 Sie lipufan lun Leum God sikyang nu sel, ac tu layen layot ke loang uh, yen mwe keng uh akokyak we.
Now an angel of the Lord appeared to him and stood at the right side of the incense altar.
12 Ke Zechariah el liyalak el arulana lut ac sangengla.
When Zechariah saw him, he was terrified and fear fell on him.
13 Na lipufan sac fahk nu sel, “Zechariah, nimet sangeng. God El lohng pre lom. Elizabeth, mutan kiom, el ac fah oswela sie wen nutum. Kom ac fah sang inel John.
But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son. You will call his name John.
14 Kom ac fah arulana engan, ac mwet puspis ac fah wi pac engan ke el ac isusla.
You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.
15 El ac fah sie mwet saok ye mutun Leum God. El ac fah tia nim wain, ku kutena mwe nim ku. El ac fah sesseslana ke Ngun Mutal, mutawauk ke el isusla me,
For he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He must never drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from his mother's womb.
16 ac el ac fah forokla mwet puspis sin mwet Israel nu sin Leum God lalos.
Many of the people of Israel will be turned to the Lord their God.
17 El ac fah fahsr meet liki Leum God, ke ngunin ku lal Elijah, mwet palu. El ac fah akwoyela inmasrlon papa ac tulik uh; el ac fah oru tuh mwet seakos in sifil nunak oana mwet suwoswos; el ac fah oru tuh mwet lun Leum God in akola nu sel.”
He will go before the face of the Lord 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 righteous—to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him.”
18 Na Zechariah el fahk nu sin lipufan sac, “Nga ac etu fuka lah ac ouingan? Nga matuoh, ac mutan kiuk uh matuoh pac.”
Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I know this? For I am an old man and my wife is very old.”
19 Na lipufan sac fahk, “Nga pa Gabriel. Nga tu ye mutun God, su supweyume in tuh kaskas nu sum, ac fahkot pweng wo se inge nu sum.
The angel answered and said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, to bring you this good news.
20 Tusruktu kom tia lulalfongi kas luk, su ac fah akpwayeiyuk in pacl fal. Ke sripen selulalfongi lom, kom ac fah tia ku in sramsram. Kom ac mutana tia kaskas nwe ke na akpwayeiyuk ma nga fahk nu sum inge.”
Behold! You will be silent, unable to speak, until the day these things take place. This is because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at the right time.”
21 In pacl se inge, mwet uh mutana soanel Zechariah, ac suk lah efu ku el utyak arulana pahtlac in Tempul.
Now the people were waiting for Zechariah. They were surprised that he was spending so much time in the temple.
22 Ke el oatula, el tia ku in kaskas nu selos, ouinge elos akilen mu el liye sie aruruma in Tempul. Ke el tia ku in kaskas nu selos, el orekmakin na paol ac srisrsrisr nu selos.
But when he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized that he had seen a vision while he was in the temple. He kept on making signs to them and remained silent.
23 Ke safla pacl in kulansap lal Zechariah in Tempul uh, el folokla nu lohm sel ah.
It came about that when the days of his service were over, he went to his house.
24 Tia paht toko, Elizabeth, mutan kial, el pitutuyak ac tiana illa liki lohm sel ke malem limekosr.
After these days, his wife Elizabeth conceived and for five months she kept herself hidden. She said,
25 Ac el fahk, “Inge nga etu tuh Leum God El kasreyu. El eisla mwekin luk likiyu ye mutun mwet uh.”
“This is what the Lord has done for me when he looked at me with favor in order to take away my shame before people.”
26 Ke Elizabeth el pitutu malem onkosr, God El supwalla lipufan Gabriel nu in siti srisrik se in acn Galilee pangpang Nazareth.
In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee named Nazareth,
27 Oasr sap soko el us nu sin sie mutan fusr virgin, su ako in payuk nu sin mukul se pangpang Joseph, su ma in fwilin tulik natul Tokosra David. Inen mutan fusr sac pa Mary.
to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph. He belonged to the house of David, and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 Lipufan sac tuku nu yorol ac fahk, “Paing kom! Leum God El wi kom, ac El arulana akinsewowoye kom!”
He came to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
29 Mary el arulana fohsak ke kas lun lipufan sac, ac el suk na lah mea kalmen ma el fahk uh.
But she was very confused by his words and she wondered what kind of greeting this could be.
30 Na lipufan sac fahk nu sel, “Mary, nikmet sangeng, tuh kom ohi yurin God.
The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 Kom ac fah pitutuyak ac oswela sie wen, ac kom fah sang inel Jesus.
See, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son. You will call his name 'Jesus.'
32 El ac fah arulana fulat — ac fah pangpang el Wen nutin God Fulatlana. Leum God El ac fah oru tuh elan sie tokosra oana David, papa matu tumal,
He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David.
33 ac el ac fah leum fin fwilin tulik natul Jacob nwe tok. Tokosrai lal ac fah wangin saflaiya!” (aiōn g165)
He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his kingdom.” (aiōn g165)
34 Na Mary el fahk nu sin lipufan sac, “Ma inge ac sikyak fuka, ke nga soenna etu mwet?”
Mary said to the angel, “How will this happen, since I have not slept with any man?”
35 Ac lipufan sac topuk ac fahk, “Ngun Mutal ac fah tuku nu fom, ac ku lun God ac fah oan fom. Ke sripa se inge, wen mutal se inge ac fah pangpang Wen nutin God.
The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will come over you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.
36 Esamul Elizabeth, sie nina in sou lom an. Tuh fwack mu el tia ku in isus, a inge el pitutu malem onkosr lac, el finne arulana matuoh.
See, your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age. This is the sixth month for her, she who was called barren.
37 Mweyen wangin ma God El kofla in oru.”
For nothing will be impossible for God.”
38 Na Mary el fahk, “Nga mwet kulansap lun Leum God. Lela ma inge in orek nu sik oana ke kom fahk.” Na lipufan sac som lukel.
Mary said, “See, I am the female servant of the Lord. Let it be for me according to your message.” Then the angel left her.
39 Tiana paht tukun ma inge, Mary el akola ac sulaklak na som nu in sie siti srisrik inmasrlon eol in acn Judea.
Then Mary arose in those days and quickly went into the hill country, to a city in Judea.
40 El utyak nu in lohm sel Zechariah ac paingul Elizabeth.
She went into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
41 Ke pacl se Elizabeth el lohng kusen paing lal Mary, tulik se insial ah mokuikui, ac Elizabeth el sesseslana ke Ngun Mutal,
Now it happened that when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby in her womb jumped, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
42 ac fahk nu sel Mary ke pusra lulap, “Kom pa insewowo emeet sin mutan nukewa uh, ac insewowo tulik se su kom ac oswela an!
She raised her voice and said loudly, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
43 Efu ku ouiya na yohk se inge in sikyak nu sik, tuh nina kien Leum luk in tuku nu yuruk?
Why has it happened to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Ke pacl se na nga lohngak ke kom paingyu ah, tulik se insiuk inge srosro ke engan.
For see, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb jumped for joy.
45 Fuka lupan insewowo lom ke kom lulalfongi lah kas lun Leum God nu sum ac fah akpwayeyuk!”
Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of the things that were told her from the Lord.”
46 Mary el fahk, “Insiuk kaksakin Leum God;
Mary said, “My soul praises the Lord,
47 Ngunik engan ke sripen God, Mwet Lango luk,
and my spirit has rejoiced in God my savior.
48 Tuh El esamyu, mutan kulansap pusisel lal! Ingela mwet in fwil nukewa ac fah pangonyu insewowo,
For he has looked at the low condition of his female servant. For see, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
49 Ke sripen orekma yohk su God Kulana El oru nu sik. Inel mutallana;
For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and his name is holy.
50 Liki fwil nu ke fwil El akkalemye pakoten lal nu selos su sunakunul.
His mercy lasts from generation to generation for those who fear him.
51 El asroela po kulana lal, Ac kunauselik pwapa lun mwet inse fulat.
He has displayed strength with his arm; he has scattered those who were proud about the thoughts of their hearts.
52 El akpusiselye tokosra kulana liki tron lalos, Ac El akfulatye mwet pusisel.
He has thrown down princes from their thrones and he has raised up those of low condition.
53 El akkihpye mwet masrinsral ke ma wo, Ac supwalik mwet kasrup uh pisinpo.
He has filled the hungry with good things, but the rich he has sent away empty.
54 El sruokyana wulela lal nu sin mwet matu lasr, Ac tuku in kasru Israel, mwet kulansap lal.
He has given help to Israel his servant, so as to remember to show mercy
55 El esam in akkalemye pakoten lal nu sel Abraham Ac fwilin tulik nukewa natul nwe tok!” (aiōn g165)
(as he said to our fathers) to Abraham and his descendants forever.” (aiōn g165)
56 Mary el muta yorol Elizabeth malem tolu, na el folokla nu yen sel.
Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and then returned to her house.
57 Sun pacl lal Elizabeth in isusla, ac el oswela sie wen.
Now the time had come for Elizabeth to deliver her baby and she gave birth to a son.
58 Mwet tulan lal ac sou lal lohngak lah Leum God El arulana akinsewowoyal, ac elos welul engan.
Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.
59 Ke tulik sac el sun len oalkosr matwal, elos tuku in tuh kosreyukla el, ac elos akoo in sang inel Zechariah, in folokin inen papa tumal ah.
Now it happened on the eighth day that they came to circumcise the child. They would have called him “Zechariah,” after the name of his father.
60 Tusruktu nina kial ah fahk mu, “Mo! Inel pa John.”
But his mother answered and said, “No. He will be called John.”
61 Ac elos fahk nu sel, “Wangin sou lom ma us ine sacn!”
They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”
62 Na elos kaskas srisrsrisr nu sin papa tumal ac siyuk sel lah ac su inen tulik sac.
They made signs to his father as to how he wanted him to be named.
63 Zechariah el siyuk sie ma elan sim kac, ac el simusla mu, “Inel pa John.” Elos nukewa arulana lut.
His father asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” They all were astonished at this.
64 In pacl sacna Zechariah el sifilpa ku in kaskas, ac el mutawauk in kaksakin God.
Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue was freed. He spoke and praised God.
65 Mwet tulan lalos nukewa arulana sangeng, ac pungen ma inge fahsrelik nu infulan eol nukewa in acn Judea.
Fear came on all who lived around them. All these matters were spread throughout all the hill country of Judea.
66 Mwet nukewa su lohng ke ma inge elos nunku kac ac siyuk, “Tulik se inge fin kapak el ac mau mwet fuka se?” Mweyen kalem na lah ku lun God oan facl.
All who heard them stored them in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child become?” For the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 Zechariah, papa tumal John, el sessesla ke Ngun Mutal, ac el fahkak kas inge sin God me:
His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying,
68 “Lela kut in kaksakin Leum God lun Israel! El tuku tari in kasru mwet lal ac aksukosokyalosla.
“Praised be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has come to help and he has accomplished redemption for his people.
69 El ase nu sesr sie Mwet Lango kulana, Sie sin fwilin tulik natul David, mwet kulansap lal.
He 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 from long ago), (aiōn g165)
71 El ac molikutla liki mwet lokoalok lasr, Liki ku lalos nukewa su kwase kut.

72 El tuh fahk mu El ac akkalemye pakoten lal nu sin mwet matu lasr somla, Ac esam pac wulela mutal lal.
He will do this to show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,
73 Ke sie wulela oa su El orala nu sel Abraham, papa matu tumasr, El wuleang in
the oath that he spoke to Abraham our father.
74 Tulekutla liki inpoun mwet lokoalok lasr, Tuh kut in kulansupwal ac tia sangeng,
He swore to grant to us that we, having been delivered out of the hand of our enemies, would serve him without fear,
75 Ac tuh kut in mutal ac suwoswos ye mutal Ke lusenna moul lasr.
in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
76 “Wen nutik, ac fah pangpang kom mwet palu lun God Fulatlana. Kom ac fah fahsr meet liki Leum In akoela inkanek lal,
Yes, and you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his paths, to prepare people for his coming,
77 In fahkak nu sin mwet lal lah elos ac fah moliyukla Mweyen El ac nunak munas nu selos ke ma koluk lalos.
to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins.
78 God lasr El pakoten ac mongfisrasr. El ac fah oru tuh kalmen molela lal in takak ac srekuti,
This will happen because of the tender mercy of our God, because of which the sunrise from on high will come to help us,
79 Ac in tololosyak nukewa su muta in lohsr ac ngunin misa, In kol niasr nu ke inkanek lun misla.”
to shine on those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death. He will do this to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
80 Tulik sac kapak ac kui in manol ac in ngunal. El muta yen mwesis nwe ke pacl se el sikyang nu sin mwet Israel.
Now the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
