1Many have undertaken to compose an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,
1POT y guaja megae y umapolo y canaeñija para ufannaregla y cuentos nu y ayo na güinaja na esta guefmaasegura gui entalo jame,
2just as they were handed down to us by the initial eyewitnesses and servants of the word.
2Jaftaemanoja ninaejam ni guine y tutujoña y testigojam ni y malie, nu y yan y ministrojam y sinangan;
3Therefore, having carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,
3Y jinasoco mauleg locue nu guajo, sa juguefegaga sinengcabales todo y güinaja guine y tutujonña, na jutuguie jao pot y inaregla, jago guesmagas na Teofilo;
4so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
4Para untungo sija y magajet ayosija mano nae unresibe y finanagüe.
5In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah, and whose wife Elizabeth was a daughter of Aaron.
5Guaja gui jaanin Herodes, ray guiya Judea, un pale, naanña si Sacharias, y clasen Abias; y asaguaña guinin sija jagan Aaron ya y naaña si Elisabet.
6Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and decrees of the Lord.
6Este na dos mauleg gui sanmenan Yuus, jajananao gui todo y lay yan y tinago Señot, ti lalatdiyon.
7But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well along in years.
7Ya taya patgonñija; sa si Elisabet tifáfañago; yan y dos megae jaaniñija.
8One day while Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,
8Ya jumuyong, anae mañeñetbe si Sacharias, gui ofisio y pale gui menan Yuus, gui chechon y clasiña,
9he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
9Jaftaemanoja y costumbren y ofisio y pale, y chechoña na jumalom gui guimayuus ya jasonggue y paopao.
10And at the hour of the incense offering, the whole congregation was praying outside.
10Ya todo y linajyan taotao mangaegue gui sanjiyong manmananaetae gui oran paopao.
11Just then an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
11Ya mato guiya güiya y angjet y Señot, na gaegue gui agapa y attat y paopao.
12When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and gripped with fear.
12Ya inestotba si Sacharias anae jalie, ya mato minaañao gui jiloña.
13But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John.
13Lao y angjet ilegña nu güiya: Sacharias, chamo maaañao; sa y tinaetaemo este majungog; ya y asaguamo as Elisabet ufañago y patgon laje, ya umafanaan naanña si Juan.
14He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice at his birth,
14Ya uguaja jao minagof yan alegria; ya y megae umagof nu y mafañaguña.
15for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He shall never take wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb.
15Sa udangculo güe gui menan Señot; ya ti uguimen bino ni metgot na guinem ya ubulagüe Espiritu Santo, guinin y tiyan nanaña.
16Many of the sons of Israel he will turn back to the Lord their God.
16Ya megae gui famaguon Israel, ujabira nu y Señot, Yuusñija.
17And he will go on before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
17Ya ujanaogüe gui menan y mataña nu y espiritu yan y ninasiñan Elias, para unanalo y corasonñija y mañaena guiya y famaguon, yan y manchátmatago ni y tiningo y manunas; para ufamauleg nu y Señot y taotao, ni y esta fanmauleg para güiya.
18“How can I be sure of this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “I am an old man, and my wife is well along in years.”
18Ya ilegña si Sacharias nu y angjet: Jaftaemano jutungo este? sa guajo bijoyo ya y asaguajo megae jaaniña.
19“I am Gabriel,” replied the angel. “I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.
19Ya manope y angjet ya ilegña nu güiya: Guajo si Gabriel, na gaegue yo tumotojgue gui menan Yuus; ya guajo esta matago na jucuentusejao, ya junaejao ni este mauleg na sinangan.
20And now you will be silent and unable to speak until the day this comes to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at their proper time.”
20Ya estagüe, na jago udojao ya ti siña uncuentos, asta y jaane nae este macumple estesija; sa y ti unjongue y sinanganjo, ni umacumple y tiempoña.
21Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he took so long in the temple.
21Ya y taotao sija manmannanangga as Sacharias, ya ninafanmanman ni y inapmamña gui guimayuus.
22When he came out and was unable to speak to them, they realized he had seen a vision in the temple. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless.
22Ya anae jumuyong, ti siña umadingane sija; ya matungo na manlie un linie gui guimayuus; lao güiya sigue di fumatinas y señatja; ya sumaga udo.
23And when the days of his service were complete, he returned home.
23Ya anae esta munjayan y jaanin y ministroña, jumanao para y guimaña.
24After these days, his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. She declared,
24Ya despues di ayo sija na jaane mapotgue y asaguaña as Elisabet, ya janana sinco na meses, ya ilegña:
25“The Lord has done this for me. In these days He has shown me favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.”
25Taemanoja y Señot jafatinas para guajo, este sija na jaane nae jaatanyo para unajanao y mamajlaojo gui entalo taotao sija.
26In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,
26Y mina saes na mes, y angjet Gabriel esta tumago guine as Yuus, para un siuda guiya Galilea, ni y naanña y Nasaret,
27to a virgin pledged in marriage to a man named Joseph, who was of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary.
27Guiya un bitgen, nobia y un laje naanña si José, familian David; ya y naan y bitgen si Maria.
28The angel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
28Ya jumalom manu nae estaba güe, ya ilegña: Jafa tatatmana jao na guefmaborese jao; y Señot gaegue guiya
29Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
29Lao pot este na sinangan, ninaestotba güe, ya jajajaso na jaftaemano este na sinaluda.
30So the angel told her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
30Entonses y angjet ilegña nu güiya: Maria, chamo maaañao; sa unsoda y finaborese gui menan Yuus.
31Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus.
31Ya estagüe, na unmapotgue gui tiyanmo ya unfañago un patgon laje, ya umafanaan y naaaña si Jesus.
32He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David,
32Ya udangculo güe, ya umafanaan Lajin Gueftaquilo: ya y Señot Yuus ufannae güe y tronon David tataña.
33and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever. His kingdom will never end!”
33Ya ugobietna gui guima Jacob siesiempreja; ya y raenoña ugagaegue taejinecog.
34“How can this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
34Entonses si Maria ilegña ni y angjet: Jafa jumuyong este? sa ti jutungo laje.
35The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God.
35Ya manope y angjet, ya ilegña nu güiya: Y Espiritu Santo umamaela guiya jago, ya y ninasiña y Gueftaquilo jafatinas y anineng gui jilomo; enaomina ayo na Santos na umafañago, umafanaan Lajin Yuus.
36Look, even Elizabeth your relative has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called barren is in her sixth month.
36Ya, estagüe, si Elisabet, parentesmo, locue güiya mapotgue un laje gui inamcoña; ya este y mina saes na mes nu güiya na mafanaan tifáfañago.
37For no word from God will ever fail.”
37Sa y sinangan Yuus, taya uno na taeninasiña.
38“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it happen to me according to your word.” Then the angel left her.
38Entonses si Maria ilegña: Estagüe y tentagon Señot; ufatinas guiya guajo taemanoja y sinanganmo. Ya y angjet mapos guiya güiya.
39In those days Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judah,
39Ya ayo na jaane sija, cajulo si Maria ya jumanao gusise para un tano taquilo, guiya un siudan Juda;
40where she entered the home of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
40Ya jumalom gui guima Sacharias ya jasaluda si Elisabet.
41When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
41Ya jumuyong taegüije na anae jajungog si Elisabet y sinaludan Maria, y patgon tumayog gui jalom tiyanña; si Elisabet bula Espiritu Santo,
42In a loud voice she exclaimed, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
42Ya umagang ni dangculo na inagang ya ilegña: Dichosojao gui entalo y famalaoan, ya dichoso y tinegchan tiyanmo.
43And why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
43Ya guine manu este guiya guajo, na mato guiya guajo y nanan y Señotto.
44For as soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
44Sa estagüe, na anae mato y inagang y sinaludamo gui talangajo, y patgon, gui jalom tiyanjo, tumayog ni minagofña.
45Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord’s word to her will be fulfilled.”
45Ya dichosogüe y jumonggue; sa uguaja y quinimple gui güinaja, ni esta masangane güe ni guinin y Señot.
46Then Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,
46Entonses ilegña si Maria: Janadangculo y antijo y Señot,
47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!
47Ya y espiritujo ninamagof gui as Yuus y Satbadotto.
48For He has looked with favor on the humble state of His servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed.
48Sa jaatan y dinespresiaoña y tentgoña; sa estagüe na desde pago jumafanaan dichosa ni todo y generasion.
49For the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is His name.
49Sa ayo na guaja ninasiña, jafatinas guiya guajo dangculo na güinaja; ya santos y naanña.
50His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation.
50Ya y minaaseña gaegue gui generasion taotao sija, gui jiloñija ni manmaañao nu güiya.
51He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
51Ya pot y canaeña jafanue minetgot; janafañuja y sobetbio sija gui jinason y corasonñija.
52He has brought down rulers from their thrones, but has exalted the humble.
52Ya jayute papa y magas gui tronoñija, ya jajatsa y manumitde.
53He has filled the hungry with good things, but has sent the rich away empty.
53Ya y manñalang janafanbula ni y minauleg; ya y manmigüinaja janafanjanao yan y tae sinajguan.
54He has helped His servant Israel, remembering to be merciful,
54Ya jaayuda si Israel tentagoña, para ufanjaso y miñaase,
55as He promised to our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants forever.”
55(Taemano y jasangane y mañaenata), as Abraham yan y semiyaña para todo y tiempo.
56Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
56Si Maria sumaga yan güiya calang tres meses ya despues jumanao asto iyasija.
57When the time came for Elizabeth to have her child, she gave birth to a son.
57Ya si Elisabet jacumple y tiempo nae para ufañago; ya mañago un patgon laje.
58Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they rejoiced with her.
58Ya anae majungog ni tiguangña yan y parientesña, na si Yuus janadangculo y minaaseña guiya güiya; ya manmagof yan güiya.
59On the eighth day, when they came to circumcise the child, they were going to name him after his father Zechariah.
59Ya susede na y mina ocho na jaane manmato para umasircunsida y patgon: ya malagoñija umafanaan ni y naan tataña as Sacharias.
60But his mother replied, “No! He shall be called John.”
60Ya manope y nanaña ya ilegña: Aje, sa umafanaan si Juan.
61They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who bears this name.”
61Ya ilegñija nu güiya: Taya gui manparientesmo mafanaan nu este na naan.
62So they made signs to his father to find out what he wanted to name the child.
62Ya maseñat y tataña, ya mafaesen jafa malagoña umafanaan.
63Zechariah asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.
63Ya mangagao un diquique na tabla ya jatugue ilegña: Si Juan naanña. Ya todo sija ninafanmanman.
64Immediately Zechariah’s mouth was opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak, praising God.
64Ya enseguidas mababa y pachotña, ya mapula y jilaña, ya cumuentos, jabendise si Yuus.
65All their neighbors were filled with awe, and people throughout the hill country of Judea were talking about these events.
65Ya guaja minaañao gui jiloñija todo y mañasaga gui oriyañija: ya gui todo y tano taquilo guiya Judea, masasangan este sija na sinangan.
66And all who heard this wondered in their hearts and asked, “What then will this child become?” For the Lord’s hand was with him.
66Ya todosija y jumujungog jaadaje gui corasonñija ya ilegñija: Jafa jumuyong este na patgon? Sa y canae Yuus gaegue guiya güiya.
67Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
67Ya si Sacharias, tataña, bula Espiritu Santo ya japrofetisa, ilegña:
68“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and redeemed His people.
68Bendito y Señot, y Yuus y Israel; sa jabisita ya jafatinas y redension, para taotaoña,
69He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David,
69Ya janacajulo para jita un canggelon y satbasion, gui guima y tentagoña as David,
70as He spoke through His holy prophets, those of ages past,
70(Taegüijija na jasasangan gui pachot y mañantos na profetaña, ni esta gaegue guinin tutujonña y tano),
71salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us,
71Satbasion gui y enemiguta yan gui canae todo y chumatliijit;
72to show mercy to our fathers and to remember His holy covenant,
72Para umafanue y minaaseña gui mañaenata, ya umajaso y santos na tratoña;
73the oath He swore to our father Abraham, to grant us
73Y juramento ni manjula as Abraham ni tatata,
74deliverance from hostile hands, that we may serve Him without fear,
74Na güiya unaejit linibreta gui canae y enemiguta ya utasetbe güe sin minaañao,
75in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our lives.
75Y sinantos yan y tinunas gui menaña todo y jaanita.
76And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for Him,
76Ya, jago, patgon, unmafanaan profetan y Gueftaquilo; sa unjanao gui menan y Señot para unfamauleg y chalanña;
77to give to His people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,
77Para ufanamatungo y satbasion gui taotaoña ni y maasiin y isaoñija,
78because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the Dawn will visit us from on high,
78Pot causa y corason y minaaseña y Yuusta, anae y candit ogaan guinin taquilo, jabisitajit,
79to shine on those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
79Para junae inina y manmatatachong gui jemjom yan y anineng y finatae; para ufanue y patasta gui chalan y pas.
80And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the wilderness until the time of his public appearance to Israel.
80Ya y patgon lumala ya mumetgot gui espiritu ya sumaga gui desierto asta y jaane anae esta matungo guiya Israel.
