Luka 1
1 Afwanaje abhantu abhinji bhabheshela amakhono asebhe eshe tukalibu owe nongwa nelwe mombia gula gagu timiziwe pahati yetu,
Since, indeed, many have attempted to set in order a narrative of the things that have been completed among us,
2 Neshe bhala shubhatihudithiga bhala bhabhahali bhashahidi bhagalolaga. na bhula atumishi abhalila izu elyufume ahwande.
just as they have been handed on to those of us who from the beginning saw the same and were ministers of the word,
3 Endolile shinza ane nane, afwanaje ehwiyanzie ulwilyoli amambo ega gonti afume huwandilo husimbire hupanjililo Theafilo hwutukfu.
so it seemed good to me also, having diligently followed everything from the beginning, to write to you, in an orderly manner, most excellent Theophilus,
4 Opate amanye elyoli emambo gala gohasambelezewe.
so that you might know the truthfulness of those words by which you have been instructed.
5 Umwaha gwa Herode, umwene uwa Yudea, palino kohani omo itawa lyakwe Zakaria, uwa tandilane no Abya. No she wakwe bhulibhabhebho ya Haruni, itawa lyakwe Elizabeti.
There was, in the days of Herod, king of Judea, a certain priest named Zechariah, of the section of Abijah, and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
6 Na hwonti bhabhele bhali bhelyoli hwitagalila elya NGOLOBHE; bhahendeleye ne ndajizwo zwonti ezwa gosi ne ndajizwo lyakwe bila eyaune.
Now they were both just before God, progressing in all of the commandments and the justifications of the Lord without blame.
7 Bhape sebhali no mwana eshi Elizabethi ali gomba, na bhonti bhabhule bhali bhagogolo tee.
And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both had become advanced in years.
8 Basi nashi nabhombaga embombo eye ukuhani uwa taratibu uwa tandilane hwakwe hwitagalila elyu NGOLOBHE.
Then it happened that, when he was exercising the priesthood before God, in the order of his section,
9 Neshe shashahali ekawaida yao eye Ukuhani, ekora ehangweleye ahwinjile mshibhanza esha gosi ili kufukizo uvumba.
according to the custom of the priesthood, the lot fell so that he would offer incense, entering into the temple of the Lord.
10 Na mabungano gonti ega bhantu bhali puta hwonze esaa ya kufukiza uvumba.
And the entire multitude of the people was praying outside, at the hour of incense.
11 Wafumilya no malaika uwa gosi ayemeleye upani uwendelo paluputo ya kufukiza.
Then there appeared to him an Angel of the Lord, standing at the right of the altar of incense.
12 Zakaria nawalola adhugumiye owoga wamwinjiye.
And upon seeing him, Zechariah was disturbed, and fear fell over him.
13 Lelo ula umalaika wabhola uganje, “Awogope Zakaria, eshi apute hwaohwo vwehwe. Na ushe waho Uzabeth aihupapila umwana. Olume na itawa lyakwe wayihumweta Yohana.
But the Angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth shall bear a son to you. And you shall call his name John.
14 Nawe wabha nolunzongwo na shangwe nabhantu abhinji bhayihusongwa apapwa hwakwe.
And there will be joy and exultation for you, and many will rejoice in his nativity.
15 Kwasababu ayibha gosi hwitagalile gosi sagayimwela idivai wala akholwe wape aimemezewe.
For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.
16 Upepo umwololo hata afume mvyanda mwanyi wakwa Na abhini abha Israeli aibhaweziye hwa gosi UNGOLOBHE wao.
And he will convert many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God.
17 Wapa aitangulila hwitalilo lyakwe ne roho ye hwa Eliya. Enguvu zwakwe ili agagalusye amoyo gabhuise igabhalile abhana, na abhabheshela bhabhatejile enjele ezye bhelyoli na hubheshele ugosi tayali abhantu bhabhalenganyinziwe.”
And he will go before him with the spirit and power of Elijah, so that he may turn the hearts of the fathers to the sons, and the incredulous to the prudence of the just, so as to prepare for the Lord a completed people.”
18 Zakaria abholele malaika, “Naimayawele izu ulyo eshi endigogolo na ushe wane gogolo wensiku nyinji.”
And Zechariah said to the Angel: “How may I know this? For I am elderly, and my wife is advanced in years.”
19 Umalaika wagalula wabhozya, “Ane ne Gabrieli, nenemeleye, hwitagalalilo lya NGOLOBHE. Nane entunuwilye anjanje nawe, na hubhole lenongwa ezi enyinza.
And in response, the Angel said to him: “I am Gabriel, who stands before God, and I have been sent to speak to you, and to proclaim these things to you.
20 Na nyenye, ubhabhe bubu, sobhayanje, mpaka isiku lila nayayibhombeha. Ego kwasababu sewahovwezye enongwa zyane gape gayitimila huwakati wakwe.”
And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak, until the day on which these things shall be, because you have not believed my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.”
21 Nabhala abhantu bhalibhahugolela uZakaria. Bhaswiga akhalilihwakwe mla mshibhanza.
And the people were waiting for Zechariah. And they wondered why he was being delayed in the temple.
22 Nawafuma alisagawezya, ayanje nao bhamenye aje. alolile amaono mhati mshibhanza. Wape ahendeleye abhalolesya akhale abhebubu.
Then, when he came out, he was unable to speak to them. And they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he was making signs to them, but he remained mute.
23 Zyabha ensiku ezye utumishi wakwe nuzyafiha abhalile akhaya yakwe.
And it happened that, after the days of his office were completed, he went away to his house.
24 Huta ensiku zila ushe wakwe ulizabethi apate evyanda wabha na amezi gasanu. Nawayanga, “
Then, after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and she hid herself for five months, saying:
25 Eshi shambombeye UGOSI ensiku zila zyanenyizya esoni yane hwitagalilo elyabhantu.”
“For the Lord did this for me, at the time when he decided to take away my reproach among men.”
26 Umwezi uwa tanda umalaika uGabrieli asontezywe no NGOLOBHE abhalile mpaka mji wa hu Galilaya, itawa lyakwe Nazareti,
Then, in the sixth month, the Angel Gabriel was sent by God, to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
27 Hwa rendu ubikira ya pabhiliwa no muntu itawa lyakwe Yusufu. Wa hutali hwa Daudi, na itawa lyakwe ubikira uyo yu Mariamu.
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.
28 Ahinjila munyumba yakwe wayanga, “Mwagona, upewewe eneema! no GOSI alipandwemo nawe.”
And upon entering, the Angel said to her: “Hail, full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women.”
29 Wapa ashelile tee afwatana nenongwazyakwe. Asebha humwoyo endamuho ene yeshe.
And when she had heard this, she was disturbed by his words, and she considered what kind of greeting this might be.
30 Umalaika abhola, “Ugaje hogope, Mariamu, afwanaje upate eneema afume hwa NGOLOBHE.
And the Angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace with God.
31 Enya ubhahweje, uyanda na pape umewna ulume, na itawa lyakwe ubha hwumwete u 'Yesu.'
Behold, you shall conceive in your womb, and you shall bear a son, and you shall call his name: JESUS.
32 Oyo aibha GOSI abhahwetwe mwana yali humwanya uGOSI UNGOLOBHE alihupela itengo elye umwene u Daudi use wakwe.
He will be great, and he will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father.
And he will reign in the house of Jacob for eternity. And his kingdom shall have no end.” (aiōn g165)
34 UMariamu wabhola umalaika, zibhabhe wele enongwa ezi, afwanaje semenye ulume?
Then Mary said to the Angel, “How shall this be done, since I do not know man?”
35 UMalaika wajibu wabhola, “Upepo Uselu abhahumwenzele pamwanya yaho, na engulu zyakwe yalipamwanya zibhahu vwenwsye. Neshe izyongozi afwatanaje oyo yayipapwa ayibha zelu mwana wa NGOLOBHE.
And in response, the Angel said to her: “The Holy Spirit will pass over you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. And because of this also, the Holy One who will be born of you shall be called the Son of God.
36 Antele, enye uholo waho Elizabeti wape apete ulyanda ulya mwana ulume.
And behold, your cousin Elizabeth has herself also conceived a son, in her old age. And this is the sixth month for her who is called barren.
37 Afwatanaje nalimo izu lyasagaliwezehala hwa NGOLOBHE.”
For no word will be impossible with God.”
38 UMariamu wayanga, “Waga, enye ane endi wembombo wa GOSI. Ebhehuline neshe shoyajele.” Antele umalaika wasogola wabhala hwamwahale.
Then Mary said: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me according to your word.” And the Angel departed from her.
39 Basi u Mariamu wasogola ensiku ezyo wabhola hata ensi ya humagamba nanali mpaka ensi emo ya hwa Yudea.
And in those days, Mary, rising up, traveled quickly into the hill country, to a city of Judah.
40 Winjelo munyumba mwa Zekaria walamuha u Elizabeti.
And she entered into the house of Zechariah, and she greeted Elizabeth.
41 Yabha, Elizabeti nahwovwa hula alamushe kwakwe uMariamu, ahana ahela handa ahwanje mvyanda vyakwe, Elizabeti wamema opepo Uzelu.
And it happened that, as Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
42 Wakhola hwizu elyemaha wanyaga usayilye, “Hwabhashe bhonti nawe empapwo yaho esaiwe.
And she cried out with a loud voice and said: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
43 Unfumiye izu eli, hata omaye uwu GOSI wane anenzelene?
And how does this concern me, so that the mother of my Lord would come to me?
44 Nenshe izu ilyalamusha gane ahana ahela hanga hasongwelwe mhati mvyanda vyane.
For behold, as the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
45 Wape nafu yayovyezye neshe naga itimila gabholelwe no GOSI.”
And blessed are you who believed, for the things that were spoken to you by the Lord shall be accomplished.”
46 Omariamu wayanga, omwoyo gwane gwamwenye ONGOLOBHE,
And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord.
47 Roho yane esongwezye ONGOLOBHE yanauye ane.
And my spirit leaps for joy in God my Savior.
48 Afwanaje agwenyizye unyonge uwe mbombo wakwe. Eshe, enyaga ahwandileshi evikholo vyonti vyayikwizya osayilwe.
For he has looked with favor on the humility of his handmaid. For behold, from this time, all generations shall call me blessed.
49 Afwatanaje owemaha ambombeye amagasi, lyape itawalyakwa lizelu.
For he who is great has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
50 ERehema zyakwe zidela evikholo ne vikholo hwebho bhahahuputa.
And his mercy is from generation to generations for those who fear him.
51 Abhombile amaha uhukhono gwakwe; abhanyampenye abhemashento afume masebho ezye moyo gabho.
He has accomplished powerful deeds with his arm. He has scattered the arrogant in the intentions of their heart.
52 Abhagwisizye agosi mmatengo gabho ageshimwene na nyonge abhabhosezye.
He has deposed the powerful from their seat, and he has exalted the humble.
53 Abhenzala abhakutizizye aminza, bhape abhemali abhefwizye makhono wene.
He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
54 Amwavwizye u Israeli uwembombo wakwa ili ahwizushe rehema zyakwe.
He has taken up his servant Israel, mindful of his mercy,
just as he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and to his offspring forever.” (aiōn g165)
56 UMariamu wakhala nawo mpaka amezi gatatu nantele wawela abheale akhayayakwe.
Then Mary stayed with her for about three months. And she returned to her own house.
57 Zyabha ensiku ezya pape hwakwe u Elizabeti nazya timila, wapapa umwana lume.
Now the time for Elizabeth to give birth arrived, and she brought forth a son.
58 Bhahovwezye ajirani na mwabho bhakwe, aje GOSI amwonjezyezye erehema bhasongwa pandwemo nao.
And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and so they congratulated her.
59 Lyabha isiku elya nane wakati wa kutahiri omwana. Bhahanza hupele itawa elyayise, “Zakaria,”
And it happened that, on the eighth day, they arrived to circumcise the boy, and they called him by his father’s name, Zechariah.
60 Unyino wakwe wagalula wayanga, “Nkashele; seshasho basi ayibha yo Yohana.”
And in response, his mother said: “Not so. Instead, he shall be called John.”
61 Bhabhola sepali amuntu afume hwamwenyu bhaho akwiziwe itawa elya Yohana.
And they said to her, “But there is no one among your relatives who is called by that name.”
62 Bhamwanya usewakwe sabhu hwmwete.
Then they made signs to his father, as to what he wanted him to be called.
63 Wanza ahabampa wasimba aje, “itawa lyakwe yo Yohana.” Bhaswijitie bhonti.
And requesting a writing tablet, he wrote, saying: “His name is John.” And they all wondered.
64 Pepo na pepo ilomu lyakwe liguha numele lyakwe antele wanda ayaje. Nautelele ONGOLOBHE.
Then, at once, his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosened, and he spoke, blessing God.
65 Bhinjilwa nowoga bhonti bhali bhakheye pandwemo, na. mambo ego gonti gatangazezwe ensi yonti yammagamba mgamba e Yudea.
And fear fell upon all of their neighbors. And all these words were made known throughout all the hill country of Judea.
66 Na bhonti bhabhagovwezye bhagabheha humoyo gabho, bhayanga, “Umwana uno ayibha wefwane hwele?” Afwaneje ukhono ogwa GOSI gwali pandwemo no mwane.
And all those who heard it stored it up in their heart, saying: “What do you think this boy will be?” And indeed, the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 UZakaria uyise wamema opepo ozelu, wakuwawanyanga,
And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit. And he prophesied, saying:
68 “Abhosewe OGSI, ONGOLOBHE wa Israeli, afwanaje abhenzeye abhantu bhakwe na bhaule.
“Blessed is the Lord God of Israel. For he has visited and has wrought the redemption of his people.
69 Atemelesezye empeta eyataule afume mlyango ugwa Daudi, uwe mbombo wakwe.
And he has raised up a horn of salvation for us, in the house of David his servant,
just as he spoke by the mouth of his holy Prophets, who are from ages past: (aiōn g165)
71 Tisatulwe na bhibhi bhentu na mma khono gabho bhonti bhabhativitwa
salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all those who hate us,
72 Ili abhabhombele aminza ababa bhetu na hwizushe ipatano lyakwe izelu,
to accomplish mercy with our fathers, and to call to mind his holy testament,
73 Ishilapo shalapiye Ibrahimu uyise wetu.
the oath, which he swore to Abraham, our father, that he would grant to us,
74 Afwanaje anzatavwilizya ate taushe nimakhono gabhibhi bhetu na humpute bila woga.
so that, having been freed from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear,
75 Nazelu nelyoli hwitagalilo lyakwe ensiku zyonti.
in holiness and in justice before him, throughout all our days.
76 Nawe, womwana wahwetwa, ukuwe ukuwe wakwe yalimwanya, afwaneje awa wayitangulila hwita galila humaso ega GOSI ulenga nyizizye amadala gakwe,
And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High. For you will go before the face of the Lord: to prepare his ways,
77 Obhabhozye abhantu bhakwa usatule aje asajilwe embibhi zyabho.
to give knowledge of salvation to his people for the remission of their sins,
78 Hwidala elye rehema lya NGOLOBHE wetu, afwatanaje hwezyo okhozyo lwalufumile amwanya lutifishiye,
through the heart of the mercy of our God, by which, descending from on high, he has visited us,
79 Abhakhozye bhabhakhala hukisi hunzunda eyenfwa. nagalongozwa unamana getu hwidala ilinza.”
to illuminate those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to direct our feet in the way of peace.”
80 Ula, mwana wakula wonjelela amaha roho wakhala humapoli hata hwisiku elye fumila hwakwe u Israeli.
And the child grew, and he was strengthened in spirit. And he was in the wilderness, until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
