ULukha 1
1 Njengoba abanengi sebebeke izandla ukubeka ngendlela efaneleyo ukulandiswa kwezinto eziqiniseke ngokupheleleyo phakathi kwethu,
Sumbu batu batona sonika mambu momo mavioka va khatitsikꞌeto;
2 njengalokhu basinika labo ababonayo ngamehlo ekuqaleni njalo bezinceku zelizwi,
banga bubatukambila mawu kuidi batu bobo baba bambangi bamona mesotona vana thonono ayi baba bisadi bi mambu ma Nzambi.
3 kukhanye kukuhle lakimi, sengizihlolisisile zonke izinto kusukela ekuqaleni, ukuthi ngikubhalele ngokulandelana, mhlekazi Teyofilu,
A mueni Tewofile, ndimona ti didi dimbote, sumbu ndifiongunina bumbotemambu moso tona vana thonono mu kusonikina mawu boso bu malandikinini
4 ukuze wazi iqiniso ngalezozinto ozifundisiweyo.
muingi wuzaba kiedika ki mambu momo wulongu.
5 Ensukwini zikaHerodi inkosi yeJudiya kwakukhona umpristi othile othiwa nguZakariya, oweqembu likaAbhiya; lomkakhe wayevela kumadodakazi kaAroni, lebizo lakhe linguElizabethi.
Mu thangu Elode kaba ntinu mu Yuda, muba ayi nganga Nzambi yimosi, dizina diandi Zakali. Niandi wuba mu dikabu di Abia ayi nketo andi Elizabeti wuba mu nkuna Aloni.
6 Njalo babelungile bobabili phambi kukaNkulunkulu, behamba ngayo yonke imilayo lezimiso zeNkosi, bengasoleki.
Bawu buadi baba batu basonga va meso ma Nzambi ayi baba kinzikangazithumunu zioso ayi mina mioso mi Pfumu mu kambu tsembolo.
7 Njalo babengelamntwana, ngoba uElizabethi wayeyinyumba, basebeleminyaka eminengi bobabili.
Basia buta bana ko bila Elizabeti wuba sita ayi bawu buadi baba banuna ngolo.
8 Kwasekusithi esenza inkonzo yobupristi phambi kukaNkulunkulu esesimisweni seqembu lakibo,
Lumbu kimosi Zakali kaba sala kisalu kiandi ki kinganga Nzambi va ntuala Nzambi bila yiba thangu yi dikabu diandi;
9 ngomkhuba wenkonzo yobupristi, nguye owadliwa yinkatho yokutshisa impepha esengene ethempelini leNkosi.
landila bu bela kifu ki zinganga Nzambi, niandi wubuilu tsombo mu kota mu vinga ki nlongo ki Pfumu mu diambu di yoka ansa.
10 Njalo ixuku lonke labantu lalikhuleka ngaphandle ngesikhathi sokutshisa impepha.
Mu thangu yinyokongo ansa, nkangu woso wu batu widi mu lusambulu ku nganda.
11 Ingilosi yeNkosi yasibonakala kuye, imi ngakwesokunene selathi lempepha.
Tumbu zimbukila mbasi yi Pfumu yintotukila, buna yitelimini va koko ku lubakala lu diziku di banyokilanga ansa.
12 Kwathi uZakariya eyibona waqhuqha, lokwesaba kwawela phezu kwakhe.
Zakali bu kammona, weka ntita ayi weka mona tsisi.
13 Kodwa ingilosi yathi kuye: Ungesabi Zakariya; ngoba umkhuleko wakho uzwakele, lomkakho uElizabethi uzakuzalela indodana, njalo uzakuthi ibizo layo nguJohane.
Vayi mbasi yinkamba: —A Zakali, bika mona tsisi bila Nzambi wuwilu lusambulu luaku, diawu nketoꞌaku Elizabeti wela kubutila muana wu bakala ayi wela kuntedilanga Yowani.
14 Futhi uzakuba lenjabulo lentokozo, labanengi bazakujabulela ukuzalwa kwakhe.
Wala ba tho yi khini ayi di tsaya kuidi ngeyo ayi batu bawombo bela mona khini mu mbutukulu andi.
15 Ngoba uzakuba mkhulu phambi kweNkosi, iwayini kanye lokunathwayo okulamandla kasoze akunathe, futhi uzagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele kusukela esesesiswini sikanina.
Wela ba wunneni va ntuala Pfumu, kalendi nua kadi vinu ko, kadi malavu mankolosongo ko. Wela ba wufuluka mu Pheve Yinlongo tona mu vumu ki nguandi.
16 Labanengi kubantwana bakoIsrayeli uzabaphendulela eNkosini uNkulunkulu wabo;
Wela vutula bana ba Iseli bawombo kuidi Nzambi awu.
17 njalo yena uzahamba phambi kwayo emoyeni lemandleni kaElija, ukuphendulela inhliziyo zaboyise kubantwana, labangalaleliyo ekuhlakanipheni kwabalungileyo, ukulungiselela iNkosi isizwe esilungisiweyo.
Wela tuamina Pfumu ku ntuala mu mpeve ayi mu lulendo lu Eli mu diambu di vutula nguizani va khatitsika madisa ayi bana bawu, mu diambu di batu bobo badi matingu batula mu tezo ki yindula bangabatu basonga ayi mu kubika batu bakubama mu diambu di Pfumu.
18 UZakariya wasesithi kuyo ingilosi: Ngizakwazi ngani lokhu? Ngoba mina ngilixhegu, lomkami useleminyaka eminengi.
Buna Zakali wuyuvula mbasi: —A buevi ndiela bu zabila e? Bila minu veka ndieka nunu ki ngolo ayi nketo ama mimvu miwombo keka.
19 Ingilosi yasiphendula yathi kuye: NginguGabriyeli mina, omayo phambi kukaNkulunkulu; njalo ngithunyiwe ukukhuluma lawe, lokukubikela lezizindaba ezinhle.
Mbasi yimvutudila: —Minu ndidi Ngabi, minu nditelamanga va ntuala Nzambi, thumunu mu kuyolukila ayi ku kamba minsamu miami mimbote.
20 Njalo khangela, uzakuba yisimungulu njalo wehluleke ukukhuluma, kuze kube lusuku okuzakwenzeka ngalo lezizinto, ngenxa yokuthi ungakholwanga amazwi ami, azagcwaliseka ngesikhathi sawo.
Vayi weka kituka dibaba ayi wulendi baka bu buela yolukilanga ko nate lumbu kioki mambu mama mela vangama. Bobo buela bela bila wusi wilukila ko mambu mama, momo mela vangama mu thangu yifuana.
21 Labantu babemlindele uZakariya; bamangala ngokuphuza kwakhe ethempelini.
Vayi mu thangu beni, nkangu wu batu wuba vingila Zakali. Batu basimina bu bamona ti wulembu zingila muna vinga ki nlongo.
22 Kuthe esephuma wehluleka ukukhuluma labo; njalo bazi ukuthi ubone umbono ethempelini; njalo yena wayesebaqhweba, wahlala eyisimungulu.
Bu katotuka, kasi baka bu yolukila ko batu bobo bakutakana. Buna basudika ti tsongolo kamueni muna vinga nlongo. Niandi mu bidimbu kaba kuba yolukila ayi wusiala dibaba.
23 Kwasekusithi seziphelile insuku zokukhonza kwakhe, waya endlini yakhe.
Bu kamanisa bilumbu biandi bi kisalu, buna wuvutuka ku nzoꞌandi.
24 Kwathi emva kwalezonsuku uElizabethi umkakhe wathatha isisu, wazifihla okwezinyanga ezinhlanu, esithi:
Bilumbu bina bu bivioka, nketo andi Elizabeti weka mu buemba. Vayi zingondi zitanu kasuamina bila wukamba ti:
25 Yenze kanje kimi iNkosi ensukwini eyangikhangela ngazo ukususa ihlazo lami phakathi kwabantu.
—Tala maphangidi Pfumu! Niandi wumbengudidi thalu yimbote ayi botudi zitsoni ziama va meso ma batu boso.
26 Kwathi ngenyanga yesithupha ingilosi uGabriyeli yathunywa nguNkulunkulu emzini weGalili othiwa yiNazaretha,
Mu ngondi yi nsambanu, Nzambi wufidisa mbasi Ngabi ku divula dimosi didi mu Ngalili. Dizina di divula beni Nazaleti,
27 entombini eyayigane indoda, ebizo layo lalinguJosefa, eyendlu kaDavida; lebizo lentombi linguMariya.
kuidi muana ndumba wumosi wuwizana makuela ayi bakala dimosi, diba mu nkuna Davidi. Dizina di bakala beni Zefu ayi dizina di muana ndumba Maliya.
28 Ingilosi yasingena kuye yathi: Ekuhle, wena othandiweyo! INkosi ilawe, ubusisiwe wena phakathi kwabesifazana.
—Mboti aku e! Ngeyo wumonokono nlemvo kuidi Nzambi! Pfumu widi yaku!
29 Kwathi eseyibonile wethuswa kakhulu yilizwi layo, wanakana ukuthi yikubingelela okunjani lokhu.
Maliya weka mona boma bu kawa mambu momo. Wuba ku kiyuvula tsundu yi mbote yoyo.
30 Ingilosi yasisithi kuye: Ungesabi, Mariya; ngoba uthole uthando kuNkulunkulu.
Buna mbasi yinkamba: —Bika mona tsisi Maliya bila Nzambi wumueni kiadi.
31 Njalo khangela, uzathatha isisu, uzale indodana, uzakuthi ibizo layo nguJesu.
Tala: wela ba mu buemba ayi wela buta muana wu bakala; wela kuntedilanga Yesu.
32 Yena uzakuba mkhulu, uzabizwa ngokuthi yiNdodana yoPhezukonke; futhi iNkosi uNkulunkulu izamnika isihlalo sobukhosi sikayise uDavida,
Wela ba wunneni. Wela tedudulungu “Nzambi yizangama” ayi Pfumu Nzambi wela kumvana kundu ki kipfumu ki nkulu andi Davidi.
33 njalo uzabusa phezu kwendlu kaJakobe kuze kube nininini, langombuso wakhe kawuzukuba lokuphela. (aiōn g165)
Wela biadilanga, mu zithangu zioso, batu batotukila mu Yakobi ayilubialu luandi lulendi suka ko. (aiōn g165)
34 UMariya wasesithi kuyo ingilosi: Lokhu kungenzeka njani, njengoba ngingazi indoda?
Maliya wukamba Mbasi: —A buevi mela vangimina bila ndisi zaba nitu yi bakala ko?
35 Ingilosi yasiphendula yathi kuye: UMoya oNgcwele uzakuza phezu kwakho, lamandla oPhezukonke azakwembesa; ngakho lalokhu okungcwele okuzazalwa nguwe kuzakuthiwa yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Mbasi yimvutudila: —Pheve Yinlongo yela kuluka mu ngeyo ayi kitsusula ki lulendo lu Nzambi wuzangama kiela kufukidila. Diawu wunlongo wela butuka, wela tedudulungu Muana wu Nzambi.
36 Njalo khangela, isinini sakho uElizabethi, laye ukhulelwe yindodana ebudaleni bakhe; lale yinyanga yesithupha kuye obekuthiwa uyinyumba.
Tala khombꞌaku Elizabeti, mamvandi widi mu buemba bu muana wu bakala mu bununu buandi. Niandi baba tedilanga sita weka mu ngondi andi yi nsambanu.
37 Ngoba kuNkulunkulu kakulalutho oluzakwehlula.
Bila kuisi ko diambu diela lembakana vanga Nzambi.
38 UMariya wasesithi: Khangela, incekukazi yeNkosi; kakube kimi njengelizwi lakho. Ingilosi yasisuka kuye.
Buna Maliya wuvutula: —Minu ndidi kisadi ki Pfumu. Bika mavangimina kuidi minu boso buididi mambu maku. Buna mbasi yimbika.
39 Ngalezonsuku uMariya wasesukuma waya ezintabeni ngokuphangisa, emzini weJuda,
Mu bilumbu bina, Maliya wuyenda nsualu-nsualu ku divula didiku miongo, mu zunga ki Yuda.
40 wangena endlini kaZakariya, wabingelela uElizabethi.
Wukota mu nzo Zakali ayi wuvana Elizabeti mboti.
41 Kwasekusithi uElizabethi ezwe ukubingelela kukaMariya, inkonyane yeqa esiswini sakhe; loElizabethi wagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele,
Thangu Elizabeti kawa mbote yi Maliya muanꞌandi wunikuka mu vumu kiandi. Buna wuwala mu Pheve Yinlongo.
42 wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, wathi: Ubusisiwe wena phakathi kwabesifazana, njalo sibusisiwe isithelo sesizalo sakho!
Ayi wuyamikina mu mbembo yingolo: —Ngeyo widi wusakumunu va miudi baketo ayi muana widi mu vumu kiaku widi wusakumunu.
43 Kanti kuvela ngaphi lokhu kimi, ukuthi unina weNkosi yami eze kimi?
Buna kuevi kubedi diambu diadi ti ngudi yi Pfumu ama kiza kuidi minu e?
44 Ngoba khangela, kuthe ilizwi lokubingelela kwakho lifika endlebeni zami, umntwana weqa esiswini sami ngokuthokoza.
Bila mu thangu nguilu mbotiꞌaku mu matu mama buna muana wunikukini mu vumu kiama mu diambu di khini.
45 Futhi ubusisiwe okholiweyo, ngoba kuzagcwaliseka lezozinto ezakhulunywa kuye yiNkosi.
Khini kuidi nketo wowo wuwilukila bila mambu momo makamba Pfumu mu diambu diandi mela vangama.
46 UMariya wasesithi: Umphefumulo wami uyayikhulisa iNkosi,
Buna Maliya wukamba: Muelꞌama wunkembisanga nzitusu wu Pfumu
47 lomoya wami uyathokoza kuNkulunkulu uMsindisi wami,
ayi mpeve yama yilembo mona khini mu diambu di Nzambi, Mvulusi ama.
48 ngoba ukhangele ubuphansi bencekukazi yakhe. Ngoba khangela, kusukela khathesi zonke izizukulwana zizakuthi ngibusisiwe.
Bila wubengudi thaluꞌandi va kisadi kiandi kikambulu mfunu, diawu zitsungi zioso ziela kuthedilanga nketo wu zikhini.
49 Ngoba yena olamandla ungenzele izinto ezinkulu, lingcwele lebizo lakhe,
Bila Nzambi yi zingolo zioso wuphangidi mambu manneni Dizina diandi didi dinlongo.
50 lesihawu sakhe sikusizukulwana ngesizukulwana kulabo abamesabayo.
Ayi mamboti mandi mela zingilanga mu tsungi ka tsungi, kuidi bobo ba kunkizikanga.
51 Wenzile amandla ngengalo yakhe; uhlakazile abazigqajayo ekunakaneni kwenhliziyo zabo.
Wumonikisidi zingolo ziandi mu koko kuandi, wusasikisidi batu badi luniemo mu mintima miawu
52 Wehlisile iziphathamandla ezihlalweni zobukhosi, kodwa uphakamisile abantukazana.
Wukuludi batu ba lulendo mu bikundu biawu bi kipfumu ayi wunangikidi batu bobo badi balembama
53 Abalambileyo ubasuthise ngezinto ezinhle, kodwa abanothileyo wabamukisa beze.
Wuyukutisidi batu bobo baba nzala mu bima bimbote. Wusindika bamvuama mioko yi mioko
54 Umsizile uIsrayeli inceku yakhe, ngokukhumbula isihawu,
Wusadisidi kisadi kiandi Iseli mu thebukulu yi moyo mu mambote mandi.
Banga buididi tsila yi kavana bakulu beto kuidi Abalahami ayi kuidi nkunꞌandi mu zithangu zioso. (aiōn g165)
56 UMariya wasehlala laye okungaba zinyanga ezintathu, wasebuyela endlini yakhe.
Tezo ki zingondi zitatu Mliya kavuandila kuidi Elizabeti, bosi wuvutuka ku nzoꞌandi.
57 Isikhathi sikaElizabethi sokuthi abelethe sesiphelele, wasebeletha indodana.
Lumbu ki Elizabeti ki buta bu kifuana, wubuta muana wu bakala.
58 Abakhelene laye lezinini zakhe basebesizwa ukuthi iNkosi yenze isihawu sayo saba sikhulu kuye, basebethokoza laye.
Bakundi bandi ayi bibutu biandi bu bawa phila Pfumu kamonisina mambote mandi, bamona khini va kimosi ayi niandi.
59 Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesificaminwembili, beza ukuzasoka usane; balubiza ngebizo likayise ngokuthi nguZakariya.
Muana bu kadukisa dinana di bilumbu, bayiza mu diambu di nzengulu yi nitu yi kibakala. Bawu boso bazola kuntedila Zakali banga dizina di siandi,
60 Kodwa unina waphendula wathi: Hatshi bo, kodwa luzathiwa nguJohane.
vayi nguandi wukamba ti: —Nana, dizina diandi Yowani.
61 Basebesithi kuye: Kakho ezihlotsheni zakho obizwa ngalelibizo.
Vayi bawu bankamba: —Kadi mutu wumosi mu dikanda diaku kasi ko dizina diodi.
62 Basebeqhweba uyise, ukuthi angathanda ukuthi lubizwe ngokuthini.
Buna bayuvula dise, mu bidimbu, mu zaba dizina mbi katidi vana muana.
63 Wasecela into yokubhalela, wabhala, esithi: NguJohane ibizo lalo; basebemangala bonke.
Wulomba tini ki dibaya; muna kasonika ti: —Dizina diandi Yowani. Buna batu boso basimina.
64 Njalo wahle wavulwa umlomo wakhe lolimi lwakhe lwatshwaphululwa, wasekhuluma edumisa uNkulunkulu.
Muna thangu yina, munu andi wuzibudidi ayi ludimi luandi luniangukidi. Wuyolukidi ayi wukembisidi Nzambi.
65 Lokwesaba kwehlela phezu kwabo bonke abakhelene labo; njalo kwakhulunywa ngazo zonke lezizinto kulo lonke elezintabeni zeJudiya,
Batu babo bafikasana yawu bamona tsisi, ayi, bayolukilamambu beni mu tsi yoso yi miongo mi Yuda.
66 labo bonke abazizwayo bazilondoloza ezinhliziyweni zabo, besithi: Kambe lolusane luzakuba njani? Njalo isandla seNkosi sasilalo.
Babo bawa nsamu beni balunda wawu mu mintima miawu ayi batuba: “A buna muana beni buevi kela bela e?” Bila Pfumu wuba yandi.
67 LoZakariya uyise wagcwaliswa ngoMoya oNgcwele, waprofetha, esithi:
Dise diandi Zakali wufuluka mu Pheve Yinlongo, diawu kabikudila ti:
68 Ibusisiwe iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ngoba ihambele yasenzela inkululeko isizwe sayo,
Nkembo kuidi Pfumu, Nzambi yi Iseli Bila wuyiza tala batu bandi ayi wuba kudidi
69 yasivusela uphondo losindiso endlini kaDavida inceku yayo,
Wututotudidi nkudi wu lulendo mu nkuna Davidi, kisadi kiandi.
70 njengalokho yakhuluma ngomlomo wabaprofethi bayo abangcwele kusukela ekuqaleni komhlaba, (aiōn g165)
Banga bu kayolukila tona vana thonono mu miunu mi mimbikudi miandi minlongo: (aiōn g165)
71 isikhulula ezitheni zethu, lesandleni sabo bonke abasizondayo;
ti wela ku tukula mu mioko mi bambeni zieto; mu mioko mi batu bobo ba kutulendanga.
72 ukwenzela obaba bethu isihawu, lokukhumbula isivumelwano sayo esingcwele,
Mu diambu di dukisa mambote kuidi bakulu beto ayi mu diambu di tebukila nguizani andi yinlongo moyo;
73 isifungo eyasifunga kubaba wethu uAbrahama,
ayi tebukila moyo ndefi yoyo kalevila nkulu eto Abalahami
74 ukusinika, ukuthi sesikhululiwe esandleni sezitha zethu, siyikhonze singelakwesaba,
mu kutuvana diluaku di kunsadila mu kambu tsisi bu kameni kutukula mu mioko mi bambeni zieto
75 ngobungcwele langokulunga phambi kwayo zonke izinsuku zempilo yethu.
mu bunlongo ayi mu busonga, mu bilumbu bieto bi luzingu, va ntualꞌandi.
76 Lawe-ke, sane, uzabizwa ngokuthi ungumprofethi woPhezukonke; ngoba uzahamba phambi kobuso beNkosi ukulungisa izindlela zayo;
Ngeyo muana, wela tedudulungu Mbikudi wu Nzambi yizangama bila ngeyo wela tuaminina Pfumu ku ntualꞌandi mu diambu di kubika nzilꞌandi;
77 lokunika isizwe sayo ulwazi losindiso ngothethelelo lwezono zabo,
mu diambu di zabikisa kuidi batu bandi ti Nzambi wumveni phulusu ayi wunlemvukidi masumu andi.
78 ngesihelo sikaNkulunkulu wethu, okuthi ngaso ukusa kwaphezulu kusethekelele,
Bila Nzambi eto fulukidi mu diadi ayi mu mambote Diawu mbuetete yi nsuka yela totukila ku yilu mu diambu dieto
79 ukubakhanyisela abahlezi emnyameni lethunzini lokufa, ukuqondisa inyawo zethu endleleni yokuthula.
mu diambu di kienzula bobo badi mu tombi ayi bobo badi mu kini ki lufua, ayi mu diambu di diaisa zithambi zieto mu nzila yi ndembama.
80 Wakhula-ke umntwana omncane, waqina emoyeni, waba sezinkangala kwaze kwaba lusuku lokubonakala kwakhe kuIsrayeli.
Muana wuyunduka ayi wukinda mu mpeve. Bosi wuzingila mu bibuangu bisuama nate mu lumbu kioki kakimonisa va meso ma batu ba Iseli.
