Meriam Mir Gospels
1Many have undertaken to compose an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,
1Abele mer gaire le giz elele detarare abkesem, abele mer keriba emetu erdarda,
2just as they were handed down to us by the initial eyewitnesses and servants of the word.
2Mokakalam uiaba nakuarare keribim, ui ge emetu erdarare, pako memeg le giz ditimeda abele mer,
3Therefore, having carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,
3Abelelam kaka dikiapor, abele kai deraimer gaire lu uridili peirdi ika ditimedilu, kaka daotare abkesem marim, opole Teofilo;
4so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
4Ueakai ma umele ageakar abele gaire lu, emetu mari ereuerem.
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.
5Abele kerker ge Heroda, Iudaia opole, nerute zogo kemle, abara nei Zakaria, Abia ra nosik: abara kosker, Arona ra boai, abara nei Elisabeta.
6Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and decrees of the Lord.
6Ui barkak tonar Ade ra op ge, uiaba irmilei Iehoua ra mer gelar giz, nole asauersili kak.
7But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well along in years.
7Ui ge daralei nole uerem kak, abelelam Elisabeta E soaso, ui ge akailei aule bailei.
8One day while Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,
8E ikerer tabara dorge, E zogo le Ade ra op ge, E tabara nosik erag,
9he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
9Mokakalam zogo le la tonar, abara dorge E badarer Iehoua ra zogo meta ge, E urim iger debe laglag lu.
10And at the hour of the incense offering, the whole congregation was praying outside.
10Uiaba gaire le lakub giz esorerapare adige, abele kerker iger debe laglag lu.
11Just then an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
11Ege Iehoua ra angela de abi etomelu, tuter pek debe laglag lu bao ge.
12When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and gripped with fear.
12A Zakaria de abi emetu erdar, abele ge ezigmalu, au geum baruk.
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.
13Ege angela de abi detager, kega, Zakaria ae, ma nolea geum kak: abelelam mara esorarapare Ade de emetu asoli, mara kosker Elisabeta de ia mara uerem, keubu uaesemur abi nei atker Ioane.
14He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice at his birth,
14A marim sererserer bai, iako gaire le sererege abielam:
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.
15Abelelam E aule Iehoua ra opem, nole uaina are kak, pako gorog, a mitkar Lamar Zogo abele ge, ditimedelu abele kerker ge E osmelu.
16Many of the sons of Israel he will turn back to the Lord their God.
16A darabgerare tababim Isaraela le ra omasker Iehouaim uiaba Ade.
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.”
17E kekiam Elia ra op ge, a adigir gako saserim, a nerkep depeger abem a apuem a omaskerem, darapegerare uiabim asorkaklam debe pardalem a debe tonarem; a ege derser abged abkoreb Iehouaim.
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.”
18A Zakaria etkalu abim angelaim, kega, Nalu atamelam iaka nakaielu umele nabailu? Na gabe, emetu kaka aule baida, pako kara kosker aule baida.
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.
19A angela eutumer abim detager, kega, Kakanali Gaberiela, kaka nakuei Ade ra op ge; kari pe taramarida iaka natomelu abele debe mer iaka marim.
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.”
20A dasmer, mabe te dabimdabim, baida nole mer agar kak, iski abele gerger abelegelam mabe kara mer ma desardili abele lu pem keubu erdare ageakar.
21Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he took so long in the temple.
21A ab gedge dekailare Zakaria mer aridarid, a uapum bakeam a Ade ra zogo meta.
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.
22A ege teosmelu adem, mer atager kak uiabim; uiaba abi damrare, ege kerker nerute atamelam zogo meta ge, ege E opu darakiriare uiabim, ege E dabimdabim.
23And when the days of his service were complete, he returned home.
23A ege abara gerger desmulu, ege ko takomelu tabara boaiem.
24After these days, his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. She declared,
24A ege keubu gerger basemerare abara kosker Elisabeta kem eskemer; ege E gumik dauer, a faife abara meb, a daraketarare,
25“The Lord has done this for me. In these days He has shown me favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.”
25Ege Ade ikeli gerger karim, a kari uanasmerare, E adem depegi kara sirip.
26In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,
26A ege abara meb sikes, Ade de angela temariklu, nei Gaberiela, Galilaiaem a Nazaretaem,
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.
27Abi gobar detager, Dauida ra boai kimiarem, a E Iosefai akemelu tababim kimiarem, abara nei Maria.
28The angel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
28Abele angela tababu abi detager, kega, Kaka au omare marim, Iehoua uadoa mari dog; ma uerkab kosker gaire kosker ge.
29Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
29Ege abi dasmer, ege abara okasosok baruk abele merlam, E dikiapore nalu lu pe omare dali.
30So the angel told her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
30A angela de abi detager, kega, Maria ae, ma nole geum kak; abelelam Ade mari au omare.
31Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus.
31Dasmer, ma keubu ia kem eskemer, ese ma esmeloa kimiare uerem, a nei etkeroa Iesu .
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,
32E au kale, a nei etkeroa, Ageakar Opole ra Uerem: a Ade de abi nakuar ko emeri Dauida ra sik, abara aba:
33and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever. His kingdom will never end!”
33E opole obaina Iakobo ra boai ge; abara baselaia ge nole mop kak.
34“How can this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
34Ege Maria de angela itimer, kega, Ua nade, ka nole kimiar ardar kak?
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.
35A ge angela etkalu abim, kega, Lamar Zogo natabu, a Ageakar Opole ra adigir mari tumge; abelelam mabara uerem zogo, tabara nei, Ada ra Uerem.
36Look, even Elizabeth your relative has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called barren is in her sixth month.
36Dasmer, mara boai Elisabeta, E aule, emetu kem eskemer abara kimiar uerem: sikes meb abele kerker, E soaso.
37For no word from God will ever fail.”
37Abelelam Ade umele gaire lu uridili E ikeli.
38“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it happen to me according to your word.” Then the angel left her.
38Ege Maria de abi detager, kega, Kaka Iehoua ra memeg le; uao debele pema nakaida kari abkoreb mara mer. Ege angela de abi dakaelu.
39In those days Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judah,
39Ege Maria ekueilu abele kerker ge, dudumge bakeamulu dordor paserem, Iuda ra utebem;
40where she entered the home of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
40Ege E bakeamulu Zakaria ra meta ge balu, a Elisabeta eskos.
41When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
41Ege Elisabeta de asor Maria ra nas, ege uerem dekumur a detatimir muige kem ge; pako Elisabeta ra mitkar Lamar Zogo;
42In a loud voice she exclaimed, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
42Ege E ereretikri au kase, a detager, kega, Uerkab kosker ma, pako abele uerem uerkab osmeda.
43And why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
43Nako abele lu, tabakeamud karim kara Opole ra apu?
44For as soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
44Dasmer, iski a ikeli kodo mer de, mara omare karim ka asoli, ege ko uerem bagererdilu muige kara kem ge sererege.
45Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord’s word to her will be fulfilled.”
45Ege uerkab kosker ra oditur; abelelam ageakar mer Iehoua de pe etomeret abim.
46Then Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,
46Ege Maria detaut, kega, Kara nerkep baospili Iehouaim,
47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!
47Ege kara nerkep au sererege Ade, E kari nazemoada.
48For He has looked with favor on the humble state of His servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed.
48A akai lu Iehoua de dasmer abele abara kosker memeg nole aule kak: abele kerker ge ditimedelu, ege gaire nosik uerkab karim.
49For the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is His name.
49Abelegelam E dali au adigiri nagri, E gaire au lu karim ikeli; abara nei zogo le.
50His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation.
50E au omare gaire le la geum, bauder gaire nosik.
51He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
51Ege saserim tabara tag, E adem gaire le lagelage aule dikiapor uiaba nerkep.
52He has brought down rulers from their thrones, but has exalted the humble.
52Ege naimartare uader opole baolam, ege uader ge nogoka emereder ga baker aule.
53He has filled the hungry with good things, but has sent the rich away empty.
53Ege darasisilare uader le uiaba uererege debe leuer; uader luglug le no bakeuare.
54He has helped His servant Israel, remembering to be merciful,
54Ege abi upiditidare tabara memeg le Isaraela, E abi au omare:
55as He promised to our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants forever.”
55Aberahama pako abara omasker niaiem, mokakalam abim detaut meriba aba giz.
56Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
56Ege Maria de abi dog, nako neis netate meb, gako akomeda tabara boaiem.
57When the time came for Elizabeth to have her child, she gave birth to a son.
57Ege bakedilu Elisabeta ra meb osemelu; ege kimiar uerem osemelu.
58Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they rejoiced with her.
58Ui aserare ge, abara boai giz, Iehoua au omare abi; ui ge sererege abim.
59On the eighth day, when they came to circumcise the child, they were going to name him after his father Zechariah.
59Ga eit gerger, uiaba egared abele uerem peritome; uiaba lagelage abi nei atker Zakaria, taba aba ra nei.
60But his mother replied, “No! He shall be called John.”
60Ege abara apu ge uiabi detaut, kega, Nole abele; epe tabara nei Ioane.
61They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who bears this name.”
61Ui ge abi detagerare, kega, Mara ko boai obatkereda Ioane nei.
62So they made signs to his father to find out what he wanted to name the child.
62Ui ge abara aba opu mer detagerare, Ma pe nako ma dikiapore abara nei?
63Zechariah asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.
63E ge uiabi daratagerare, kega, Seleti tekadarare karim; E detali, Abara nei Ioane. Ui ge au kasege damrare.
64Immediately Zechariah’s mouth was opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak, praising God.
64Ege akailu merkar etkalu, tabara uerut detue, E mer detaut, a au esoao Adim.
65All their neighbors were filled with awe, and people throughout the hill country of Judea were talking about these events.
65Ege uader maike abi dog ga erdarare uiabim ga geum barkare; abele mer dordor paser ge Iudaia ge ga esao.
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.
66Ui ge emetu aserare ga dikiaporare, kega, Nalu uerem dali? Abelelam Iehoua ra tag abi dog pako abi upinati.
67Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
67Ege abara aba dauer Zakaria mitkar Lamar Zogo, E ekerer perofeta dorge, kega,
68“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and redeemed His people.
68Esoao Isaraela ra Ade, Iehoua pedali; E meribi dasmer E meribi dazimoareta abara ged ge,
69He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David,
69Iski sekerise meribim uerkab Dauida ra boai ge abara memeg le,
70as He spoke through His holy prophets, those of ages past,
70Mokakalam ge emeret ge, Iehoua de daratagerare gaire zogo perofeta,
71salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us,
71Mamoro pemi uridili uader le gizlam pe meribi dirieda, tag abgered urkerem meribim;
72to show mercy to our fathers and to remember His holy covenant,
72E au omare meriba aba giz, gako dikiapor tom akoar zogo;
73the oath He swore to our father Abraham, to grant us
73Beskak mer E nakuar Aberahama meriba aba,
74deliverance from hostile hands, that we may serve Him without fear,
74E meribi dikuarda meriba azimoaret, uader tag au kelarkelar, meriba nole geum kak meriba memeg le,
75in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our lives.
75E zogo pako oditireda abi op ge, gaire gerger uridili meriba eded.
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,
76A mama kebile ae, uiaba gaire le mari nei atker Ageakar Opole ra perofeta: abelegelam ma kekiam Iehoua ra opem derser abara gab ge;
77to give to His people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,
77Mamanali natomertare abele azigmoaret uiabim abara ged, pako adem dikri uiaba uit giz.
78because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the Dawn will visit us from on high,
78Epe Ade pe meriba nasge dali, a kotor datki meribim.
79to shine on those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
79Datki ga baziarare gesepem kupikupiem, datki moar degrered meriba teter gab karem.
80And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the wilderness until the time of his public appearance to Israel.
80Ege abele uerem ga batai, abara nerkep saserim, sumez ge emri, ga abi etomertare Isaraela le giz abi.
