Luke 1
1 Nungsijaraba Theophilus: Eikhoigi irakta thunghanbikhraba thoudoksing adugi paodam adubu inanaba mioi kaya amana kanna hotnakhi.
To his Excellency, Theophilus. Many attempts have been already made to draw up an account of those events which have reached their conclusion among us,
2 Ahoubadagi houna thoudoksing asibu mamitmakna uhoubasing amasung Mapugi waheigi thougal toubasing aduna eikhoida phongdokpirambasing adu makhoina ikhi.
just as they were reported to us by those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses, and afterward became bearers of the message.
3 Aduga, he ikai khumnaraba Theophilus, pumnamaksing adu eihakna ahoubadagi houna changkhonna thijillaba maramna, thoudoksing adu mathang manao naina nahakki naphamda iba phagani haina eihaknasu ningle.
And, therefore, I also, since I have investigated all these events with great care from their very beginning, have resolved to write a connected history of them for you,
4 Nangonda tambikhraba pumnamaksing adugi mapungphaba achumba adu nahakna khangnanaba eina masi naphamda ibani.
in order that you may be able to satisfy yourself of the accuracy of the story which you have heard from the lips of others.
5 Herod-na Judea leibakki ningthou oina pallingei matamda, Abijah-gi purohit kanglupta Zechariah kouba purohit ama leirammmi. Mahakki nupigi maming Elijabeth kou-i; aduga Elizabeth-su purohit Aaron-gi charon suron oirammi.
In the reign of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the division called after Abijah. His wife, whose name was Elizabeth, was also a descendant of Aaron.
6 Makhoi animakna Mapu Ibungogi yathangsing amadi pathap pumnamaksing mapungphana ngakchaduna Tengban Mapugi mityengda chumna chatchaba punsi mahing amada hinglammi.
They were both righteous people, who lived blameless lives, guiding their steps by all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
7 Adubu makhoi macha amata leiramde maramdi Elizabeth chaboktabi oirammi aduga makhoi animak ahalsu yamna oirammi.
But they had no child, Elizabeth being barren; and both of them were advanced in years.
8 Nongmagi numitta Zechariah-gi purohit kangbuna thougal toubagi palli taraduna mahakna Mapugi Sanglenda purohit ama oina Tengban Mapugi thougal tourammi.
One day, when Zechariah was officiating as priest before God, during the turn of his division,
9 Aduga latnapungda mengkruk thanaba purohitsinggi chatnabi matung inna changyengnabada mangonda tare. Maram aduna mahakna Mapu Ibungogi sanglen manungda changle.
it fell to him by lot, in accordance with the practice among the priests, to go into the Temple of the Lord and burn incense;
10 Amasung mengkruk chukhatpagi pungpham aduda tilliba miyam aduna mapanda haija nijaduna leirammi.
and, as it was the Hour of Incense, the people were all praying outside.
11 Adudagi Mapu Ibungogi dut amana mengkruk thariba iratpung adugi yet thangbada leptuna mangonda uhanbirammi.
And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right of the Altar of Incense.
12 Zechariah-na mahakpu ubada masada thukatpa amadi akiba phaorammi.
Zechariah was startled at the sight and was awe-struck.
13 Adubu swarga dut aduna mangonda hairak-i, “Kiganu, Zechariah! Nahakna haijaba adu Tengban Mapuna tabire. Nahakki nupi Elizabeth-na nachanupa ama poklagani aduga nahakna mahakki maming John haina thongadabani.
But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, whom you will call by the name John.
14 Mahak pokpa matamda nahakna kayada haraoba amadi nungaiba oigadaba! Amasung mi kayana kayada harao nungaiba oigadaba!
He will be to you a joy and a delight; and many will rejoice over his birth.
15 Maramdi Mapu Ibungogi mityengda mahak matik chaogani. Mahakna yu amadi mayai kaba mahi amata thakloi, aduga mama puknungdagi houna mahak Thawai Asengbana than-gani.
For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; he will not drink any wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from the very hour of his birth,
16 Amasung mahakna Israel macha kayabu makhoigi Tengban Mapu, Mapu Ibungoda hallak-han-gani.
and will reconcile many of the Israelites to the Lord their God.
17 Mahakna Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa maichou Elijah-gi machat amadi matikka loinana Ibungogi mang thana chatkani. Mahakna misingbu Ibungona lenglakkadaba adugidamak thourang langhannaba mapasingbu machasingga amuk yasinnahangani amasung haiba indabasingbu achumba chatpasinggi lousing aduda hongdokpigani.”
He will go before him in the spirit and with the power of Elijah, to reconcile fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, and so make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him.”
18 Adudagi Zechariah-na dut aduda hairak-i, “Masi soidana thokkani haibasi eihakna kamdouna khanggadage? Eidi ahal oiraba mini aduga eigi nupisu ahal oire.”
“How can I be sure of this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “For I am an old man and my wife is advanced in years.”
19 Maduda dut aduna khumlak-i, “Ei Grabriel-ni. Nangonda wa hainanaba amasung aphaba pao asibu tamnanaba eibu thabirakpa Tengban Mapugi mangda eina lepli.
“I am Gabriel,” the angel answered, “who stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.
20 Adubu achaba matamda soidanamak thoklagadaba eigi wasing asi nahakna thajade. Aduga nahakna thajadabagi maramna eina nangonda haikhibasing asi thoktriba numit adu phaoba nahak wa ngangba thokloi aduga wa amata ngangdana tumminna leigani.”
And now you will be silent and unable to speak until the day when this takes place, because you did not believe what I said, though my words will be fulfilled in due course.”
21 Cheirak aduda mising aduna Zechariah-bu mapanda ngaiduna leirammi amasung mahakna karigi Mapugi Sanglen manungda matam asuk kuina leiribano haina makhoi ngaklammi.
Meanwhile the people were watching for Zechariah, wondering at his remaining so long in the Temple.
22 Amasung mahakna mapanda thorakpa matamda, mahakna makhoida wa ngangba ngamkhide. Aduga mahakna Mapugi Sanglen manungda uhanbiba ama ukhre haiba makhoina khanglammi, maramdi mahakna makhoida ingit touduna nganglammi adubu wa ngangbadi adumak ngamkhide.
When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision there. But Zechariah kept making signs to them, and remained dumb.
23 Aduga Mapugi Sanglenda mahakki thougal toubagi numitsing adu loirabada Zachariah mayumda amuk halaklammi.
And, as soon as his term of service was finished, he returned home.
24 Matam kharagi matungda Elizabeth mironlaklammi aduga mahakna tha manga yumdagi mapan thoklamde.
After this his wife, Elizabeth, became pregnant and lived in seclusion for five months.
25 Mahakna haikhi, “Houjik mameithangda Mapu Ibungona eibu pangbire. Miyam mangda eina ikaiba nanglamba adu Ibungona louthokpire!”
“The Lord has done this for me,” she said, “he has shown me kindness and taken away the public disgrace of childlessness under which I have been living.”
26 Elizabeth-na mironba tha taruk surakpada Tengban Mapuna swargadut Grabriel-bu Nazareth kouba Galilee-gi khungangda tharakle.
Six months later the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,
27 Mahakna Mary haina koubi, David ningthougi chada-naoda oiriba Joseph kouba nupa amada luhongnaba waroinakhrabi leisabi asengbi amagi pao puduna laklammi.
to a maiden there who was engaged to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. Her name was Mary.
28 Aduga dut aduna mangonda laktuna hairak-i, “Khurumjari, thoujal phanglabi! Mapu Ibungona nahakpu loinabiri; nupisinggi maraktagi nahakti yaipahabini.”
Gabriel came into her presence and greeted her, saying, “You have been shown great favor – the Lord is with you.”
29 Maryna dut adugi wahei aduda yamna cha-ngaknarammi amasung mahakki waheising aduna kari phongdoklibano haiduna khallammi.
Mary was much disturbed at his words, and was wondering to herself what such a greeting could mean,
30 Maduda dut aduna hairak-i, “Kiganu Mary, Tengban Mapudagi nahakna thoujal phangjare.
when the angel spoke again, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 Nahakna mironduna nacha nupa ama pokkani aduga nahakna mahakki maming Jisu thongadabani.
And now, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will give him the name Jesus.
32 Mahak matik chaogani aduga Wangthoiraba Mapu Ibungogi machanupa kougani. Mapu Ibungo Tengban Mapuna mangonda mapa David-ki phambal adu pibigani,
The child will be great and will be called ‘Son of the Most High,’ and the Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David,
33 Aduga mahakna Jacob-ki chada-naodasinggi ningthou oina matam pumbagi oina pan-gani, amadi mahakki leibak adu lomba nairoi.” (aiōn g165)
and he will reign over the descendants of Jacob for ever; And to his kingdom there will be no end.” (aiōn g165)
34 Adudagi Mary-na dut aduda hairak-i, “Eihakti luhongdribi leisabini, adu oirabadi masi kamdouna oithokkadouribano?”
“How can this be?” Mary asked the angel. “For I have no husband.”
35 Dut aduna khumlak-i, “Thawai Asengbana nahakki nathakta lengthabirakkani aduga Wangthoiraba Ibungo adugi panggalna nahakpu lumsinbigani. Maram asina pokkadouriba asengba angang adubu Tengban Mapugi Machanupa kougani.
“The Holy Spirit will descend on you,” answered the angel, “and the Power of the Most High will overshadow you; and therefore the child will be called ‘holy,’ and ‘Son of God.’
36 Yengu, nahakki mari mata Elizabeth-su ahal oiraklaba matamsida macha ama phangjagadoure, chaboktabi hainarambi mahakna houjikti tha tarukki angang naopure.
And Elizabeth, your cousin, is herself also expecting a son in her old age; and it is now the sixth month with her, though she is called barren;
37 Maramdi Tengban Mapugi maphamda oithoktaba kari amata leite.”
for no promise from God will fail to be fulfilled.”
38 Maduda Mary-na hairak-i, “Eihak Mapu Ibungogi manainupini; nahakna haikhibagum masi eingongda thokpa oirasanu.” Adudagi dut adu mahakpu thadoktuna chatkhre.
“I am the servant of the Lord,” exclaimed Mary. “Let it be with me as you have said.” Then the angel left her.
39 Madugi matung ikui kuidana Mary-na thourang touraduna chinggi lamdamda leiba, Judea-gi apikpa sahar amada thuna chatlammi.
Soon after this Mary set out, and made her way quickly into the hill-country, to a town in Judah;
40 Amasung mahakna Zechariah-gi yumda changduna Elizabeth-pu khurumjarammi.
and there she went into Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth.
41 Aduga Mary-na khurumjabagi khonjel adu Elizabeth-na tabada mahakki pibuknungda angang aduna chonglammi. Amasung Elizabeth Thawai Asengbana thallammi.
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child moved within her, and Elizabeth herself was filled with the Holy Spirit,
42 Aduga mahakna khonjel wangna hairak-i, “Nupilaktagi nahakti khwaidagi henna yaiphabini, amasung nahakna naopugadouriba angang adu yaiphabani!
and cried aloud, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is your unborn child!
43 Eigi Ibungogi imana eigi inakta lengbiraktuna eibu asuk ekai khumnabiriba asi karamnano?
But how have I this honor, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Maramdi nahakna khurumjabagi khonjel adu eina hek tabaga eigi pibuknunggi angang asina haraoduna chongkhatli.
For, as soon as your greeting reached my ears, the child moved within me with delight!
45 Mapu Ibungona mahakki maphamda haikhrabasing adu thunghanbigani haina thajaribi mahak adu yaiphabini!”
Happy indeed is she who believed that the promise which she received from the Lord would be fulfilled.”
46 Maduda Maryna hairak-i, “Eigi thawaina Mapu Ibungobu thagatchei,
And Mary said: “My soul exalts the Lord,
47 Eigi thawaina eigi Kanbiba Mapu, Tengban Mapuda haraojei,
and my spirit delights in God my Savior,
48 Maramdi mahakna tollabi manainupi eihakpu ningsingbire! Houjiktagi houduna miron khudingna kougani eibu yaiphabi;
for he has looked with favor on his humble servant girl. From now on all generations will call me blessed!
49 Maramdi toubire Pangallaba mahakna, eigidamak achouba thabak kaya. Ibungo mahakki minglendi asengbani;
“For the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
50 Mahakpu kina chatchabasingda, utpi mahakna chanbiba; miron miron khudingda.
He has mercy on those who revere him in every generation.
51 Toubire mahakki pambomna, matik leiba thabak kaya; aduga chaikhaire mahakna, mathamoida napal touba misingbu.
“Mighty are the deeds of his arm! He has scattered the self-satisfied proud,
52 Chingthakhi mahakna matik leiba ningthousingbu makhoigi ningthou phambaldagi, aduga thanggatpikhi mahakna nollukpasingbu.
he has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and he uplifts the humble,
53 Thalhanbikhi mahakna aram-khourangbasingbu aphabana, adubu thakhi inakhunbasingbu khut hangna.
he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
54 Ngakkhi mahakna sakkhiba washaktu, eikhoigi ipa-ipusingda, aduga lakkhi pangbinaba mahakki manai Israel-bu.
“He has stretched out his hand to his servant Israel, ever mindful of his mercy,
55 Ningsingbikhi mahakna, matam pumnamakta chanbiba utpigani haibadu, Abraham amadi mahakki charon suronsingda!” (aiōn g165)
as he promised to our ancestors, to Abraham and his descendants for ever.” (aiōn g165)
56 Adudagi Mary-na tha ahummuk Elizabeth-ka leiminnaramlaga mayumda hankhirammi.
Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months, and then returned to her home.
57 Elizabeth-ki angang unabagi matam oiraklabada, mahakna machanupa ama pokkhi.
When Elizabeth’s time came, she gave birth to a son;
58 Aduga mahakki keirol-leikaisingna amadi mari-matasingna Mapu Ibungona mahakpu kayada chanbibage haibadu tare amasung makhoi pumnamakna mahakka loinana haraominare.
and her neighbors and relatives, hearing of the great goodness of the Lord to her, came to share her joy.
59 Angang aduna numit nipanni subada makhoina mahakpu un kakpa lakle, amasung makhoina angang adubu mapagi maming louduna Zechariah thonnaba tourammi.
A week later they met to circumcise the child, and were about to call him Zechariah after his father,
60 Adubu Elizabeth-na makhoida haikhi, “Natte, mahakki maming John haina thongadabani.”
when his mother spoke up, “No, he is to be called John.”
61 Maduda makhoina mangonda hairak-i, “Nakhoigi sagei natei marakta ming adu kouba mi amatasu yaode.”
“You have no relation of that name!” they exclaimed;
62 Adudagi makhoina angang adugi mapa Zechariah-da ingit touduna, mahakna angang adugi maming kari thonba pambage haiduna hanglammi.
and they made signs to the child’s father, to find out what he wished the child to be called.
63 Maduda mahakna mangonda inanaba korbak ama pinaba hairammi, aduga maduda mahakna “Mahakki maming John kou-i” haina ire. Maduda makhoi pumnamak pumngak ngakle.
Asking for a writing tablet, he wrote the words – ‘His name is John.’ Everyone was surprised
64 Khudak adumaktada Zechariah amuk hanna wa ngangba ngamle aduga mahakna Tengban Mapubu thagatchaba houre.
and immediately Zechariah recovered his voice and the use of his tongue, and began to bless God.
65 Aduga thokkhibasing asina maram oiduna mahakki keirol-leikai pumnamak akibana thallammi, amasung thoudok pumnamak asigi paona Judah-gi chinggi lamdam adu sinba thungna sandokkhirammi.
All their neighbors were awe-struck at this, and throughout the hill-country of Judea the whole story was much talked about.
66 Amasung pao adu taba mi khudingmakna, madugi maramda wakhal touraduna hanglak-i, “Angang asina kari oirakkadaba?” Maramdi Mapu Ibungogi pangalna mahakki mathakta lei haiba makhoina khanglammi.
All who heard it kept it in mind, asking one another – “What can this child be destined to become?” For the Power of the Lord was with him.
67 Amasung John-gi mapa Zechariah Thawai Asengbana thallammi aduga mahakna Tengban Mapugi wa phongdoktuna hairak-i:
Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and, speaking under inspiration, said:
68 “Eikhoina Israel-gi Tengban Mapu, Mapu Ibungobu thagatlasi! Mahakna mahakki misingbu pangbinaba lakle amasung makhoibu handokpire!
“Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who has visited his people and wrought their deliverance,
69 Mahakna mahakki manai David-ki charon surondagi, Pinabire eikhoigidamak matik leiba Kanbiba Mapu ama.
and has raised up for us the strength of our salvation in the house of his servant David –
70 Mahakna mamangngeida mahakki wa phongdokpiba asengba maichousingi mapanna washakpikhi, (aiōn g165)
as he promised by the lips of his holy prophets of old – (aiōn g165)
71 Kanbigani haina Mahakna, eikhoibu eikhoigi yeknabasingdagi, amadi eikhoibu yengthiba pumnamakki makhuttagi.
salvation from our enemies and from the hands of all who hate us,
72 Haibikhi mahakna eikhoigi ipa ipusingda, chanbiba utpigani haina, aduga mahakki asengba warepnaba adu mahakna ningsingbikhi.
showing mercy to our ancestors, and mindful of his sacred covenant.
73 Wasakpikhi mahakna Ipa Abraham-da,
This was the oath which he swore to our ancestor Abraham –
74 Kanbigani haina Mahakna eikhoibu yeknabasingi makhuttagi aduga ngamhanbigani haina eikhoibu akiba leitana mahakpu thouganjaba,
that we should be rescued from the hands of our enemies,
75 Punsi chuppa eikhoina Mahakki mangda asengba amadi achumba chatpa oinaba.
and should serve him without fear in holiness and righteousness, in his presence all our days.
76 Aduga, eigi ichanupa, nahakpu wangthoiraba Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichou haina kougani; Ibungogi lambi thourang tounaba, Chatkani nahakna Ibungogi mang thaduna.
And you, child, will be called prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to make ready his way,
77 Ibungogi misingda hainanaba, makhoigi papsingdu kokpibagi mapanna, Makhoibu kanbigani haina.
to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,
78 Maramdi eikhoigi Tengban Mapudi chanbiheibani amadi nungsiheibani. Thok-hanbigani Mahakna, aran-khubamgi langlaba ayukki korou mangal adu eikhoida.
through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the dawn will break on us from heaven,
79 Ngalhannanaba korouthaktagi, asibagi mamlaba mamida leiriba pumnamakki mathakta. Chingbinanaba eikhoigi khongthangbu, ingthabagi lambida.”
to give light to those who live in darkness and the shadow of death, and guide our feet into the way of peace.”
80 Adudagi angang adu hakchang amadi thawaida chaokhatlaklammi. Aduga mahakna masabu Israel-gi miyamda phongdoktringeigi matam adu phaoba lamjao lamhangda leirammi.
The child grew and became strong in spirit, and he lived in the wilds until the time came for his appearance before Israel.
