Luke 1
1 Moroitak Theophilus, ei lâia roi juong tung, mi tamtak ngeiin theidôr miziek rangin an pûta.
Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
2 Aphut renga ha neinunngei amu ngeiin kin lei ril le chong lei phuong anghan an miziek ani.
even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
3 Masikin nangma Mirittak, abul renga jâttin ânthârlaka sûiin adônin inthârlakin nata rangin miziek ronga ki ti ani.
it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus;
4 Tienna thurchi nang an lei ril hah adiktak ani iti na riet theina rangin.
that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.

There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the priestly division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.

But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
8 Hanchu sûnkhat chu Zakariah hah nîngtina asin ngâi angin Biekina ochai sin a thoa.
Now while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his division
9 Ochaingei balam angin mirimhoi hâl rangin taruo sânin ama hah thangin a oma, masikin Pumapa Biekina a sea.
according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.

The whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.

An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Zakariah'n amu lehan rolo innîkin a chia.
Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
13 Hannisenla, vântîrton han a kôma, “Zakariah chi no roh, ne ngênna Pathien'n a rieta, no lômnu Elizabeth'n nâi nang nei pe a ta a riming John ni phuo rang ani.
But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, because your request has been heard. Your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
14 A suokin chu nangma le mi tamtak mulungrîl râisân atih.
You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.
15 Pumapa mitmûn milien nîng a ta, uain le jûngei reng nêk no nia. A suokni renga Ratha Inthiengin sip a ta,
For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.
16 Isreal mi tamtak Pumapa an Pathien tieng hong tuong nôk a tih.
He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.

He will go before him 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 just; to prepare a people prepared for the Lord.”
18 Zakariah'n vântîrton kôma han, “mahah inmo ki riet rang? keima laka ka tar zoia, ko lômnu khom a tar zoia,” a tia.
Zacharias said to the angel, “How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.”
19 Vântîrton han, “Pathien makunga inding ngâi Gabriel ki nia, hi thurchi nang ril rang piela juongtîr ki ni.
The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.
20 Hi chong azora taka juong tung rang ni iemloi sikin, ajuong tung mâka chu chong theiloiin dâirekin om ni tih,” a tia.
Behold, you will be silent and not able to speak until the day that these things will happen, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”

The people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marveled that he delayed in the temple.
22 A hong jôk tena chu a chong thei khâiloi sikin Biekina inlârna ai mu iti an rieta, a kut leh vai a chong zoia.
When he came out, he could not speak to them. They perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.

When the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.

After these days Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,
25 “Anûktaka Pumapa'n mi san nôk zoi, ki riming siet, sût minthelna rangin” a tia.
“Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my reproach among men.”

Having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, you highly favored one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!”
29 Ha chong hah a rieta anîn chu imo ani zoi, tiin a mulung a minjîng oka.
But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be.
30 Hanchu, vântîrton han, “Mary chi no roh, Pathien'n ai minlut tak mi nini.
The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 Nâivong na ta, nâipasal nei na ta, a riming Jisua ni phuo rang ani.
Behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and shall name him ‘Jesus.’

and he will reign over the house of Jacob for the ages (aiōn g165). There will be no end to his Kingdom."
34 Hanchu Mary'n vântîrton kôma, “Mahah kho angin mo anithei ranga? dôngmate kêng ka lani hite” a tia.
Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?”
35 Vântîrton han a thuona, “Ratha Inthieng nu chunga juong a ta, Pathien Ratha nu chunga om a tih. Masikin kêng nâite inthieng khom Pathien Nâipasala be ani rang.
The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born from you will be called the Son of God.
