Luke 1
1 Ko e meʻa ʻi he fai ʻe he tokolahi ke tohi fakaholo hono fakamatala ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku tui moʻoni ki ai ʻiate kitautolu,
Inasmuch as many undertook to draw up a narration concerning the accomplished among us things,
2 ʻO hangē ko ia kuo tuku mai kiate kitautolu, ʻekinautolu naʻe mamata pau [ki ai], pea hoko ko e kau faifekau ʻoe folofola, talu hono kamataʻanga;
even as delivered [them] to us those from [the] beginning eyewitnesses and servants having been of the word,
3 ʻE Tiofilusi lelei, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku kumi fakatotolo ki he meʻa kotoa pē talu hano kamataʻanga, ʻoku ou loto ai ke u tohi fakaholo atu ia kiate koe,
it seemed good also to me also to me having been acquainted from the first with all things carefully with method to you to write, most excellent Theophilus,
4 Koeʻuhi ke ke ʻilo hono moʻoni ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ko ia, ʻaia kuo akonekina ai koe.
so that you may know concerning which you were instructed [of the] things the certainty.
5 NAʻE ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Helota, ko e tuʻi ʻo Siutea, ʻae taulaʻeiki ʻe taha, ʻi he lakanga ʻo ʻApia, ko Sakalaia hono hingoa: pea ko hono uaifi naʻe mei he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo ʻElone, pea ko ʻIlisapeti hono hingoa.
There was in the days of Herod king of Judea a priest certain named Zechariah of [the] division of Abijah, and (the *k) wife (of him *N+kO) of the daughters of Aaron and the name of her Elizabeth.
6 Pea naʻa na angatonu fakatouʻosi pe he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo na ʻalu taʻehala ʻi he ngaahi fekau mo e tuʻutuʻuni kotoa pē ʻae ʻEiki.
They were now righteous both (in front of *N+kO) God walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7 Pea naʻe ʻikai haʻana tama, koeʻuhi naʻe paʻa ʻa ʻIlisapeti, pea kuo na motuʻa fakatouʻosi pe.
And no there was to them child, inasmuch as was Elizabeth barren and both having advanced in the years of them were.
8 Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene fai ki he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻi he lakanga ʻo hono vahe,
It came to pass now in the priestly serving of him in the order of the division of him before God,
9 Ko hono lakanga, ʻo hangē ko hono anga ʻoe ngāue fakataulaʻeiki, ke tutu ʻae meʻa namu lelei ʻi heʻene hū ki he potu tapu ʻae ʻEiki.
according to the custom of the priesthood the lot picked [him as] the [one] to burn incense entering into the temple of the Lord;
10 Pea naʻe lotu ʻae fuʻu kakai kotoa pē ʻituʻa, ʻi he lolotonga [ʻae tutu ]ʻoe ʻakau namu lelei.
And all the multitude were of the people praying outside at the hour of the incense.
11 Pea naʻe hā mai kiate ia ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻEiki, ʻoku tuʻu ia ʻi he potu fakatoʻomataʻu ʻoe ʻesifeilaulau ʻoe ʻakau namu lelei.
Appeared then to him an angel of [the] Lord already standing at [the] right of the altar of the incense;
12 Pea tāfuʻua ʻa Sakalaia ʻi heʻene mamata [ki ai], pea tō kiate ia ʻae manavahē.
And was troubled Zechariah having seen [him], and fear fell upon him.
13 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo kiate ia, “Sakalaia, ʻoua te ke manavahē, he kuo tau hoʻo lotu; pea ʻe fāʻeleʻi ʻe ho uaifi ko ʻIlisapeti, ʻae tama kiate koe, pea te ke ui hono hingoa ko Sione.
Said then to him the angel; Not do fear Zechariah; because has been heard the prayer of you, and the wife of You Elizabeth will bear a son to you, and you will call the name of him John.
14 Pea te ke maʻu ai ʻae fiefia mo e nekeneka; pea ʻe fiefia ʻae tokolahi ʻi heʻene fanauʻi.
And he will be joy to you and gladness, and many at the (birth *N+kO) of him will rejoice.
15 Koeʻuhi ʻe lahi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻEiki, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne inu ʻae uaine pe ha inu fakakona; pea ʻe fonu ia ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻio, mei he manāva ʻo ʻene faʻē.
He will be for great before the Lord, and wine and strong drink certainly not shall he drink, and [of the] Spirit Holy he will be filled even from [the] womb of [the] mother of him.
16 Pea ʻe fakatafoki ʻe ia ʻae tokolahi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ʻEiki ko honau ʻOtua.
And many of the sons of Israel he will turn to [the] Lord the God of them,
17 Pea ʻe muʻomuʻa ia ʻiate ia ʻi he anga mo e mālohi ʻo ʻIlaisiā, ‘Ke fakatafoki ʻae loto ʻoe mātuʻa ki he fānau,’ mo e talangataʻa ki he poto ʻoe angatonu; ke teuʻi ʻae kakai ke lelei maʻae ʻEiki.”
And he himself will go forth 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] righteous, to make ready for [the] Lord a people prepared.
18 Pea pehē ʻe Sakalaia ki he ʻāngelo, “Te u ʻilo ʻi he hā ʻae meʻa ni? He ko e tangata motuʻa au, pea kuo lahi ʻae taʻu ʻo hoku uaifi.”
And said Zechariah to the angel; By what will I know this? I myself for am an old man, and the wife of mine having advanced in the years of her.
19 Pea lea ʻae ʻāngelo, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Ko au Kepaleli, ʻoku ou tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua; pea kuo fekau au ke u lea kiate koe, mo fakahā kiate koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakafiefia ni.
And answering the angel said to him; I myself am Gabriel the [one] standing before God and I was sent to speak to you and to bring glad tidings to you these.
20 Pea vakai, te ke noa koe, ʻe ʻikai te ke faʻa lea, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻe hoko ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo taʻetui ki heʻeku ngaahi lea, ʻaia ʻe fakamoʻoni ʻi hono kuonga.”
And behold you will be silent and not able to speak until that day may happen these things, in return for that not you did believe in the words of mine which will be fulfilled in the season of them.
21 Pea naʻe tatali ʻae kakai kia Sakalaia, pea naʻa nau ofo ʻi heʻene tuai mai mei he potu tapu.
And were the people expecting Zechariah and they were wondering at the delaying in the temple of him.
22 Pea kuo haʻu ia kituʻa, pea ʻikai te ne faʻa lea kiate kinautolu: pea nau ʻilo ai kuo hā mai ha meʻa kiate ia ʻi he potu tapu: he naʻe kamokamo ia kiate kinautolu, pea taʻelea.
Having come out then not he was able to speak to them; and they recognized that a vision he has seen in the temple. And he himself was making signs to them and was remaining mute.
23 Pea pehē, ʻi he [toki ]hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene ngāue, naʻe ʻalu ia ki hono fale.
And it came to pass when were fulfilled the days of the service of him, he departed to the home of him.
24 Pea hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, naʻe tuituʻia ʻa hono uaifi ko ʻIlisapeti, pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi he lilo, ʻi he māhina ʻe nima, ʻo ne pehē,
After then these days conceived Elizabeth the wife of him and was hiding herself months five saying
25 “Kuo fai pehē ʻe he ʻEiki kiate [au], ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho naʻa ne vakaiʻi [au], ke toʻo [ʻiate au ]hoku manukiʻanga ʻi he kakai.”
that Thus to me has done (the *k) Lord in [the] days in which He looked upon [me] to take away (the *k) disgrace of mine among men.
26 Pea ʻi hono ono ʻoe māhina, naʻe fekau ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ʻāngelo ko Kepaleli ki he kolo ʻe taha ʻi Kāleli, ko Nāsaleti hono hingoa,
In now the month sixth was sent the angel Gabriel (by *N+kO) God to a city of Galilee whose name [was] Nazareth
27 ki ha tāupoʻou ʻi he fale ʻo Tevita, kuo fakanofo ki he tangata naʻe hingoa ko Siosefa; pea ko e hingoa ʻoe tāupoʻou ko Mele.
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 Pea haʻu ʻae ʻāngelo kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “Siʻotoʻofa, ʻoku ke ʻofeina lahi, ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻae ʻEiki: ʻoku ke monūʻia ʻi he fefine [fulipē].”
And having come (angel *KO) to her he said; Greetings! you graciously favored; The Lord [is] with you. (blessed [are] you yourself among women. *KO)
29 Pea kuo mamata ia [ki ai], pea tāfuʻua ia ʻi heʻene lea, mo ne fifili ʻi hono loto, pe ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe fetapa ko ia.
And (having seen [him] *K) at the statement she was troubled (of him *k) and was pondering what kind would be salutation this.
30 Pea pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo kiate ia, “Mele, ʻoua ʻe manavahē: he ʻoku ke ʻofeina mei he ʻOtua.
And said the angel to her; Not do fear Mary, you have found for favor with God.
31 Pea vakai, te ke tuituʻia ʻi [ho ]manāva, pea fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama, pea ke ui hono huafa ko Sisu.
and behold you will conceive in womb and will bring forth a son and you will call the name of Him Jesus.
32 Pea ʻe lahi ia, pea ʻe ui ia ko e ʻAlo ʻoe Fungani Māʻolunga; ʻe ange kiate ia ʻe he ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua ʻae nofoʻa ʻo ʻene tamai ko Tevita:
He will be great and Son of [the] Most High He will be called, and will give to Him [the] Lord God the throne of David of the father of Him,
33 Pea ʻe pule ia ki he fale ʻo Sēkope ʻo taʻengata; pea ʻe ʻikai hano ngataʻanga ʻo ʻene pule.” (aiōn g165)
and He will reign over the house of Jacob to the ages, and of the kingdom of Him not there will be an end! (aiōn g165)
34 Pea pehē ʻe Mele ki he ʻāngelo, “ʻE fēfē ai ʻae meʻa ni, heʻeku ʻikai te u ʻiloa ha tangata?”
Said then Mary to the angel; How will be this since a man not I know?
35 Pea lea ʻae ʻāngelo, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻE hoko mai ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate koe, pea ʻe fakamalū koe ʻe he mālohi ʻoe Fungani Māʻolunga; pea ko ia foki ʻe ui ai ʻae hako māʻoniʻoni te ke fāʻeleʻi ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua.
And answering the angel said to her; [the] Spirit Holy will come upon you and power of [the] Most High will overshadow you; therefore also the [one] being born Holy [One] will be called [the] Son of God.
36 Pea vakai, ko ho kāinga ko ʻIlisapeti, kuo tuituʻia ia ʻi he tama ʻi heʻene motuʻa: pea ko hono ono mahina eni ʻo ia naʻe ui koe paʻa.
And behold Elizabeth the (relative *N+kO) of you also she (has conceived *N+kO) a son in old age of her, and this month [the] sixth is to her who [was] called barren
37 He ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe faingataʻa ki he ʻOtua.”
For not will be impossible with (God *N+kO) every declaration.
38 Pea pehē ʻe Mele, “Vakai, ko e kaunanga [au ]ʻae ʻEiki; ke hoko mai kiate au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea. Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻiate ia.”
Said then Mary; Behold the handmaid of [the] Lord; Would [that] it happen to me according to the declaration of you. And departed from her the angel.
39 Pea tuʻu hake ʻa Mele, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻo ʻalu fakavave ki he fonua moʻunga, ki ha kolo ʻo Siuta;
Having risen up then Mary in days these she went into the hill country with haste to a town of Judah
40 Pea naʻe hū ia ki he fale ʻo Sakalaia, ʻo fetapa kia ʻIlisapeti.
and she entered into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
41 Pea naʻe pehē, kuo fanongo ʻa ʻIlisapeti ki he fetapa ʻa Mele, pea hopohopo ʻae tama ʻi hono manāva; pea fakafonu ʻa ʻIlisapeti ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni:
And it came to pass as heard the greeting of Mary Elizabeth, leaped the baby in the womb of her, and was filled with [the] Spirit Holy Elizabeth
42 Pea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae leʻo lahi, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ke monūʻia koe ʻi he fefine [kotoa pē ]pea ʻoku monūʻia mo e fua ʻo ho manāva.
and she cried out (in a shout *N+kO) loud and said; Blessed [are] you yourself among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of the womb of you.
43 Pea ʻoku fēfē nai eni kiate au, koeʻuhi kuo haʻu ʻae faʻē ʻa hoku ʻEiki kiate au?
And from where to me this that may come the mother of the Lord of mine to me myself?
44 Pea vakai, kuo ongo leva ʻae leʻo ʻa hoʻo fetapa ki hoku telinga, pea hopohopo fiefia ʻae tama ʻi hoku manāva.
Behold for as came the voice of the greeting of you into the ears of mine, leaped in exultation the baby in the womb of mine.
45 Pea ʻoku monūʻia ʻaia kuo tui: koeʻuhi ʻe fakamoʻoni ʻae ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻaia naʻe fakahā kiate ia mei he ʻEiki.”
And blessed [is] the [one] having believed that there will be a fulfillment to the [things] spoken to her from [the] Lord.
46 Pea pehē ʻe Mele, “ʻOku fakahikihiki ʻae ʻEiki ʻe hoku laumālie,
And said Mary: Magnifies the soul of Mine the Lord,
47 Pea ʻoku fiefia hoku laumālie ʻi he ʻOtua ko hoku fakamoʻui.
and rejoices the spirit of mine in God the Savior of mine,
48 He kuo ne vakai ʻe ia ʻae vaivai ʻa ʻene kaunanga: Vakai, ngata mei he ʻaho ni ʻe ui au ko e monūʻia ʻe he ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē.
For He has looked upon the humiliation of the handmaiden of Him. Behold for from henceforth will count blessed me all the generations
49 He ko ia ʻoku māfimafi kuo ne fai kiate au ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi; pea ʻoku māʻoniʻoni hono huafa.
For has done to me (great [things] *N+kO) the Mighty One; And holy [is] the name of Him;
50 Pea ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa Mei he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata.
And the mercy of Him [is] to generations (and *no) (generations *N+kO) to those fearing Him;
51 Kuo fakahā mai ʻe ia ʻae mālohi ʻo hono nima; Pea kuo veteki ʻe ia ʻae laukau ʻi he ngaoʻi ʻa honau loto.
He has shown strength with [the] arm of Him; He has scattered [the] proud in [the] thought of heart of them;
52 Kuo fakahifo ʻe ia ʻae mālohi mei he ngaahi nofoʻanga, Pea kuo ne hakeakiʻi ʻakinautolu naʻe māʻulalo.
He has brought down rulers from thrones and exalted [the] humble;
53 Kuo fakamākona ʻe ia ʻae fiekaia, ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei; Ka ne tekeʻi atu ʻae maʻumeʻa ke masiva.
[Those] hungering He has filled with good things and [those] being rich He has sent away empty;
54 Kuo tokoni ʻe ia ʻa ʻene tamaioʻeiki ko ʻIsileli, ʻI heʻene manatu ki he ʻaloʻofa;
He has helped Israel [the] servant of Him remembering mercy,
55 Kia ʻEpalahame, mo hono hako ʻo lauikuonga, ʻO hangē ko ʻene lea ki heʻetau ngaahi tamai.” (aiōn g165)
even as He spoke to the fathers of us, to Abraham and to the descendants of him to the age. (aiōn g165)
56 Pea naʻa na nonofo mo Mele ʻi he māhina nai ʻe tolu, pea [toki ]ʻalu ia ki hono fale.
Dwelt then Mary with her (about *N+kO) months three and returned to the home of her.
57 Pea kuo hokosia ʻae ʻaho ke fāʻele ai ʻa ʻIlisapeti; pea fāʻeleʻi ʻe ia ʻae tama.
Now Elizabeth was fulfilled the time to give birth for her and she bore a son.
58 Pea fanongo ʻa hono kaungāʻapi mo hono kāinga, kuo fakahā ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae ʻaloʻofa lahi kiate ia; pea nau fiefia mo ia.
And heard the neighbours and the relatives of her that magnified [the] Lord the mercy of Him with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
59 Pea pehē, ʻi hono ʻaho valu naʻa nau omi ke kamu ʻae tamasiʻi; pea naʻa nau ui ia ko Sakalaia, ʻo hangē ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene tamai.
And it came to pass on day the eighth they came to circumcise the child and were calling it after the name of the father of him Zechariah.
60 Pea leaange ʻene faʻē, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE ʻikai, kae ui ia ko Sione.”
And answering the mother of him said; No, but he will be called John.
61 Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai hao kāinga ʻoku ui ʻi he hingoa ko ia.”
And they said to her that No [one] is (among the relatives *N+kO) of you who is called the name by this.
62 Pea nau kamokamo ki heʻene tamai, pe ko e hā hono loto ke ui ia.
They were making signs then to the father of him the what maybe he would wish to be called (him. *N+kO)
63 Pea ne meʻa ke ʻomi ʻae tohiʻanga, pea tohi ʻe ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko Sione hono hingoa.” Pea naʻa nau ofo ai kotoa pē.
And having asked for a writing tablet he wrote saying; John is (the *ko) name of him. And they marveled all.
64 Pea matoʻo leva hono ngutu, pea mo hono ʻelelo, pea lea ia ʻo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua.
Was opened then the mouth of him immediately and the tongue of him and he was speaking blessing God.
65 Pea naʻe tō ʻae manavahē ki he kakai kotoa pē naʻa nau nonofo ʻi he potu ko ia: pea naʻe ongoongoa ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ʻi he fonua moʻunga kotoa pē ʻo Siutea.
And came upon all fear those dwelling around them; and in all the hill country of Judea were being talked about all declarations these,
66 Pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fanongo ki ai, naʻa nau fifili ʻi honau loto, mo pehē, “ʻE fēfē nai ʻae anga ʻae tama ni!” Pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae nima ʻoe ʻEiki.
And laid [them] up all those having heard in the heart of them saying; What then child this will be? And (for *no) [the] hand of [the] Lord was with him.
67 Pea naʻe fakafonu ʻa ʻene tamai ko Sakalaia ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, pea kikite ia, ʻo pehē,
And Zechariah the father of him was filled with [the] Spirit Holy and prophesied saying;
68 “Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; He kuo ne ʻaʻahi mo huhuʻi ʻa hono kakai,
Blessed [be] [the] Lord the God of Israel, because He has visited and He has performed redemption [on] the people of Him,
69 Pea kuo ne fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻae mālohi ʻoe fakamoʻui kiate kitautolu, ʻI he fale ʻo ʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita;
and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in (the *k) house of David (the *k) servant of Him,
70 ʻO hangē ko ʻene folofola ʻi he ngutu ʻo ʻene kau palōfita māʻoniʻoni, Naʻe ai talu ʻae tupuʻanga ʻo māmani: (aiōn g165)
even as He spoke through [the] mouth of the holy (of the *k) of [old] age prophets of Him; (aiōn g165)
71 Koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu mei hotau ngaahi fili, Mo e nima ʻokinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fehiʻa kiate kitautolu;
salvation from [the] enemies of us and from [the] hand of all those hating us,
72 Ke fakamoʻoni ʻae ʻaloʻofa ki heʻetau mātuʻa, Mo manatu ki heʻene fuakava māʻoniʻoni;
to fulfill mercy toward the fathers of us, and to remember [the] covenant holy of Him,
73 ʻAe fuakava ʻaia naʻa ne fuakava ʻaki ki heʻetau tamai ko ʻEpalahame,
[the] oath that He swore to Abraham the father of us,
74 Ke tuku ʻe ia kiate kitautolu, Ke tau hao mei he nima ʻo hotau ngaahi fili, Pea tau tauhi ia taʻemanavahē,
to grant us without fear from [the] hand (of the *k) enemies (of us *k) having been saved to serve Him
75 ʻI he māʻoniʻoni mo e angatonu ʻi hono ʻao, ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻetau moʻui.
in holiness and righteousness before Him (all the days *N+kO) (of the life *k) of us.
76 Pea ko koe, ʻe tama, ʻe ui koe ko e palōfita ʻoe Fungani Māʻolunga: He te ke muʻomuʻa ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻEiki ke teuteu hono hala;
And you yourself (now, *no) child, prophet of [the] Most High will be called; you will go for (in front of *N+kO) ([the] face of *ko) [the] Lord to prepare ways of Him,
77 Ke fakaʻilo ʻae fakamoʻui ki hono kakai ʻi he fakamolemole ʻo ʻenau hia,
to give knowledge of salvation to the people of Him in forgiveness of [the] sins of them
78 Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻaloʻofa ongongofua ʻa hotau ʻOtua; ʻAia kuo hoko mei ai ʻae hengihengi ʻoe ʻaho mei ʻolunga kiate kitautolu,
through [the] affections of compassion of God of us in which (will visit *N+kO) us [the] Sunrise from on high,
79 Ke fakamaama kiate kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he fakapoʻuli mo e ʻata ʻoe mate, Ke fakahinohino hotau vaʻe ki he hala ʻoe fiemālie.”
to shine upon those in darkness and in [the] shadow of death sitting, to direct the feet of us into [the] way of peace.
80 Pea naʻe tupu ʻae tama, pea fakaʻaʻau ʻo mālohi ʻi he laumālie, pea naʻa ne ʻi he toafa ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho naʻa ne fakahā ai ia ki ʻIsileli.
And the child was continuing to grow and he was strengthened in spirit and he was in the deserted places until [the] day of appearance of him to Israel.
