Luke 1
1 Moroitak Theophilus, ei lâia roi juong tung, mi tamtak ngeiin theidôr miziek rangin an pûta.
Seeing that many have taken it in hand to draw up an account of those matters which have been fully established among us,
2 Aphut renga ha neinunngei amu ngeiin kin lei ril le chong lei phuong anghan an miziek ani.
just as they reported them to us, who were from beginning eye- witnesses and ministers of the word,
3 Masikin nangma Mirittak, abul renga jâttin ânthârlaka sûiin adônin inthârlakin nata rangin miziek ronga ki ti ani.
it seemed good to me also accurately, from the very beginning, to write them to you in order, most excellent Theophilus,
4 Tienna thurchi nang an lei ril hah adiktak ani iti na riet theina rangin.
so that you may know the certainty of the story which you have been taught by the word of mouth.
5 Judea rama Herod rêngin an lallâiin, ochai a riming Zakariah a oma, ama hah ochai Abijah rûia mi ania, a lômnu riming chu Elizabeth ania, Aaron ochairûia mi ani.
In the reign of Herod, King of Judea, there was a certain priest, named Zachariah, belonging to the class of Abijah. He had a wife named Elizabeth,

who was a descendant of Aaron. They were both righteous in the sight of the Lord, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the law, blameless.
7 Hannisenla Elizabeth aching sikin nâi nei maka, an ruonin an tar ok zoia.
Now they had no child, for Elizabeth was barren, and both were far advanced in years.
8 Hanchu sûnkhat chu Zakariah hah nîngtina asin ngâi angin Biekina ochai sin a thoa.
Now while Zachariah was acting as priest before God in the due course of his class, it fell to his lot, according to the custom of priesthood,
9 Ochaingei balam angin mirimhoi hâl rangin taruo sânin ama hah thangin a oma, masikin Pumapa Biekina a sea.
to enter into the sanctuary of the Lord and to burn incense.
10 Mirimhoi a hâl lâiin mipui ngeiin apêntieng chubai an lei thoa.
And the whole multitude of the people were without, praying at the hour of incense.
11 Mirimhoi hâlna mâichâm changtienga han, Pumapa vântîrton indingin a kôm a juong inlâra.
Then there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Zakariah'n amu lehan rolo innîkin a chia.
And as he saw him Zachariah was troubled, 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, Zachariah, because your petition has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.
14 A suokin chu nangma le mi tamtak mulungrîl râisân atih.
"And he shall be to you a joy and an exultation, and many shall rejoice over his birth.

"For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, "He shall drink neither wine nor strong drink, "He shall be filled with the Holy Spirit from the hour of his birth,

"And shall win many of the sons of Israel to the Lord, their God.

"He shall go before Him in the wisdom and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, and so to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him."
18 Zakariah'n vântîrton kôma han, “mahah inmo ki riet rang? keima laka ka tar zoia, ko lômnu khom a tar zoia,” a tia.
"How shall I be sure of this?" said Zachariah to the Angel. "For I am an old man and my wife is advanced in years."
19 Vântîrton han, “Pathien makunga inding ngâi Gabriel ki nia, hi thurchi nang ril rang piela juongtîr ki ni.
"I am Gabriel," answered the angel, "who stand in the presence of God; and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring 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.
"And now you shall be silent and unable to speak until the day the day when this has taken place; because you did not believe my words - Words which will be fulfilled at their appointed time."
21 Mipui ngeiin kholâia an lei ngâka, Biekin sûnga Zechariah a om sôt rai sikin an lei kamâma.
Meanwhile the people were waiting for Zachariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the sanctuary.
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.
And when he came out he could not speak to them, and then they knew that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them and remained dumb.
23 Biekina a sin rang a zoi suole chu a in tieng a kîr zoia.
As soon as his term of priestly service was ended he went home;

"This has the Lord done for me. He has now deigned to take the away my reproach among men."

Six months later the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee, called Nazareth,

The angel went in and said to her. "Joy to you, highly favored one! "The Lord is with you."
29 Ha chong hah a rieta anîn chu imo ani zoi, tiin a mulung a minjîng oka.
Mary was greatly agitated at his word, and was revolving in her mind what this salutation could mean.
30 Hanchu, vântîrton han, “Mary chi no roh, Pathien'n ai minlut tak mi nini.
when the angel said to her. "Fear not Mary, for you have found grace with God.

And Mary said to the angel. "How can this be? For I have no husband?"

"The Holy Spirit shall come upon you," said the angel, "and the power of the most High shall overshadow you, and therefore the holy offspring which is born, shall be called the son of God.
