1Aicae salakah kaom tangtang hmuen kawng thuihaih maeto pacoeng maeto kamtomh poe ah suek hanah paroeai ca tarik kaminawk oh o boeh,
1Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a narration of the things that have been accomplished among us;
2nihcae loe tangsuek na hoi hnukung ah oh o, tamthanglok toksah kaminawk mah, aicae khae thuih ih lok baktih toengah;
2According as they have delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word:
3kahoih koek Theophila, tangsuek na hoi kaom hmuennawk to kakoep ah thaikop boih moe, hmuen kaom maeto pacoeng maeto kamtomh poe ah, nangcae khaeah tarik nahaeloe hoi tih, tiah poekhaih ka tawnh,
3It seemed good to me also, having diligently attained to all things from the beginning, to write to thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
4to tiah ni ang patuk o ih lok to kahoihah na panoek o tih.
4That thou mayest know the verity of those words in which thou hast been instructed.
5Judea siangpahrang, Herod dung ah, Zakaria, tiah ahmin kaom qaima maeto oh, anih loe Abijah ih acaeng ah oh moe, a zu Elizabeth loe Aaron ih acaeng ah oh.
5There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zachary, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.
6Nihnik loe Sithaw hmaa ah katoeng kami ah oh hoi moe, Angraeng mah paek ih kaalok hoi sak han koi toknawk boih coek koi kaom ai ah a sak hoi.
6And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and justifications of the Lord without blame.
7Elizabeth loe caa kak pongah nawkta tawn hoi ai, nihnik loe saning coeh hoi parai boeh.
7And they had no son, for that Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
8Anih mah angmah ih kaminawk hoi Sithaw hmaa ah qaima toksakhaih tue phak naah,
8And it came to pass, when he executed the priestly function in the order of his course before God,
9qaimanawk mah sakzong ih atawk baktih toengah, Angraeng tempul thungah akun moe, hmuihoih thlaekhaih loe anih ih tok ah oh.
9According to the custom of the priestly office, it was his lot to offer incense, going into the temple of the Lord.
10Hmuihoih thlaek nathuem ah, paroeai kaminawk loe tasa bangah lawkthuih o.
10And all the multitude of the people was praying without, at the hour of incense.
11To naah anih khaeah Angraeng ih van kami maeto amtueng moe, hmuihoih thlaekhaih hmaicam bantang bangah angdoet pae.
11And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the alter of incense.
12Zakaria mah anih to hnuk naah zit moe, tasoehhaih hoiah oh.
12And Zachary seeing him, was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
13Toe van kami mah anih khaeah, Zakaria, zii hmah: na lawkthuihaih Sithaw mah thaih boeh; na zu Elizabeth mah capa maeto na sah pae tih, anih ih ahmin to Johan, tiah sak han oh.
13But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachary, for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John:
14Anghoehaih hoi oephaih to na tawn tih; anih tapen pongah paroeai kaminawk loe anghoe o tih.
14And thou shalt have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice in his nativity.
15Anih loe Angraeng mikhnuk ah kalen ah om ueloe, misurtui hoi paqui thaih koi hmuen roe nae mak ai; anih loe amno zok thung hoi kamtong Kacai Muithla hoiah koi tih.
15For he shall be great before the Lord; and shall drink no wine nor strong drink: and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.
16Anih mah paroeai Israel kaminawk to angmacae ih Angraeng khaeah angqoisak tih.
16And he shall convert many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.
17Anih mah ampanawk ih palungthin to a caanawk khaeah angqoisak tih, lok tahngai ai kaminawk to katoeng kaminawk ih palunghahaih loklam bangah angqoisak ueloe, Angraeng hanah kaminawk omsak coek tih, anih loe Elijah ih palungthin, thacakhaih hoiah Angraeng hmaa ah caeh tih, tiah a naa.
17And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias; that he may turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and the incredulous to the wisdom of the just, to prepare unto the Lord a perfect people.
18Zakaria mah van kami khaeah, Hae hmuen hae kawbangmaw ka panoek thai tih? Kai loe mitong boeh moe, ka zu doeh mitong boeh, tiah a naa.
18And Zachary said to the angel: Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.
19To naah van kami mah anih khaeah, Kai loe Sithaw hmaa ah angdoe, Gabriel ah ka oh; lok kang thuih moe, kahoih hae anghoehaih tamthangnawk patuek han ih ni nang khaeah ang patoeh.
19And the angel answering, said to him: I am Gabriel, who stand before God: and am sent to speak to thee, and to bring thee these good tidings.
20Khenah, atue phak naah akoep han koi kang thuih ih loknawk to na tang ai pongah, hae hmuennawk ohhaih ni pha ai karoek to, lok na aa tih, tiah a naa.
20And behold, thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be able to speak until the day wherein these things shall come to pass, because thou hast not believed my words, which shall be fulfilled in their time.
21Kaminawk mah Zakariah to zing o, anih loe tempul thungah akra parai boeh pongah dawnrai o.
21And the people were waiting for Zachary; and they wondered that he tarried so long in the temple.
22Anih tasa bang tacawt naah loe, kaminawk khaeah lokthui thai ai boeh: anih loe lok apae ai, kaminawk khaeah ban hoiah ni angmathaih a sak pae: to pongah kaminawk mah anih loe tempul thungah hnuksakhaih a hnuk kalang mue, tiah poek o.
22And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they understood that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he made signs to them, and remained dumb.
23Anih loe a toksakhaih boeng pacoengah, angmah im ah amlaem.
23And it came to pass, after the days of his office were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
24To ninawk boeng pacoengah a zu Elizabeth to zokpom; anih loe khrah pangato thung imthung ah anghawk,
24And after those days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying:
25anih mah ang khet nathuem ah, kaminawk salakah kai kasae thuihaih to takhoe ving hanah, Angraeng mah kai hanah hae hmuen hae sak boeh, tiah a thuih.
25Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he hath had regard to take away my reproach among men.
26Elizabeth zokpomhaih khrah tarukto phak naah, Sithaw mah van kami Gabriel to Kalili prae, Nazareth vangpui ah kaom,
26And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
27David imthung takoh Joseph, tiah ahmin kaom kami mah hamh ih tangla cuem khaeah patoeh; tangla kacuem ih ahmin loe Meri.
27To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
28Anih khaeah van kami to caeh moe, Kasang koek tahamhoih hnu kami, anghoe ah! Sithaw loe nang hoi nawnto oh: nang loe nongpatanawk thungah tahamhoih kami ah na oh, tiah a naa.
28And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29Meri mah anih to hnuk naah, dawnrai, a palung thung hoiah kawbaktih kami tapringhaih lok maw vai, tiah poek.
29Who having heard, was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be.
30Toe van kami mah anih khaeah, Meri, Zii hmah: nang loe Sithaw mah palung tong ih kami ah na oh boeh.
30And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.
31Khenah, zok na pomh ueloe, caa nongpa maeto na sah tih, anih ih ahmin loe JESU, tiah sak han oh.
31Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
32Anih loe paroeai len tih, Sang koek Capa, tiah kawk o tih: Angraeng Sithaw mah Ampa David ih angraeng tangkhang to anih khaeah paek tih:
32He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever.
33Anih mah Jakob imthung to dungzan ah uk tih; a prae loe boenghaih om mak ai, tiah a naa.
33And of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34To naah Meri mah van kami khaeah, Hae hmuen loe kawbangmaw angcoeng thai tih? Nongpa hoi ka om ai bae, tiah a naa.
34And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?
35Van kami mah anih khaeah, Kacai Muithla na nuiah om tih, Kasang koek sakthaihaih tha mah na oh haih tih: to pongah nang khaeah tapen han koi Ciimcai Capa loe Sithaw Capa, tiah kawk tih.
35And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
36Khenah, nam nawkamya ah kaom Elizabeth doeh mitong pacoengah caa nongpa maeto pomh boeh: anih loe caa kak, toe vaihi zokpomhaih khrah tarukto oh boeh.
36And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren:
37Sithaw han angcoeng thai ai hmuen tidoeh om ai, tiah a naa.
37Because no word shall be impossible with God.
38To naah Meri mah, Khenah, kai loe Angraeng ih toksah nongpata ah ni ka oh; na thuih ih lok baktih toengah ka nuiah om nasoe, tiah a naa. To pacoengah van kami mah anih to caehtaak.
38And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
39Meri loe angthawk moe, Judea prae mae nuiah kaom vangpui maeto ah karangah caeh;
39And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.
40Zakariah ih imthung ah akun moe, Elizabeth to lok tapring.
40And she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted Elizabeth.
41Meri mah tapring ih lok to Elizabeth mah thaih naah, a zok thung ih nawkta to angtawt; to naah Elizabeth loe Kacai Muithla hoiah koi:
41And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
42anih mah, Nang loe nongpatanawk thungah tahamhoih kami ah na oh, na zok thung ih athaih doeh tahamhoih.
42And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43Tipongah maw ka Angraeng ih amno ah ohhaih to kai khaeah ang paek?
43And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44Khenah, nang tapringhaih lok to ka thaih naah, anghoe loiah ka zok thung ih nawkta to amloep tahang.
44For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
45Angraeng khae hoi thuih ih loknawk loe anih khaeah akoep tih, tiah tanghaih tawn nongpata loe tahamhoih, tiah tha hoiah a hangh.
45And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.
46Meri mah, Ka hinghaih pakhra mah Angraeng to pakoeh moe,
46And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.
47pahlongkung Sithaw khaeah palung anghoehaih ka tawnh.
47And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48Poek kahnaem a tamna nongpata to anih mah khet boeh: khenah, vaihi hoi kamtong kaminawk boih mah tahamhoih kami, tiah na kawk o tih.
48Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49Thacak kami mah kai hanah kalen parai hmuennawk to ang sak pae boeh; anih ih ahmin loe ciimcai.
49Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name.
50Anih palungnathaih loe anih zithaih tawn kaminawk nuiah adung maeto pacoeng maeto khoek to oh.
50And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.
51Anih mah a ban thacakhaih to amtuengsak moe, poeksang kaminawk to anghaehsak phaeng.
51He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
52Thacak kaminawk to angmacae ih angraeng tangkhang nui hoiah pakhrak tathuk moe, poek pahnaem kaminawk to tapom tahang.
52He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble.
53Zok amthlam kaminawk to kahoih hmuennawk hoiah zok amhahsak moe, angraengnawk to bangkrai ah patoeh ving.
53He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
54A palungnathaih to pahnet ai pongah a tamna Israel to abomh;
54He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy:
55aicae ampanawk khaeah a thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Abraham hoi a caanawk khaeah doeh boeng ai ah a thuih, tiah thuih.
55As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever.
56Meri loe Elizabeth hoi khrah thumto oh pacoengah, angmah im ah amlaem.
56And Mary abode with her about three months; and she returned to her own house.
57Elizabeth nawkta tapenhaih tue phak naah loe, anih mah caa nongpa maeto sak.
57Now Elizabeth’s full time of being delivered was come, and she brought forth a son.
58Kawkruk maw Angraeng mah a palungnathaih anih nuiah amtuengsak, tiah imtaeng kaminawk hoi angmah ih nawkamyanawk mah thaih o naah, anih to anghoe o haih.
58And her neighbours and kinsfolks heard that the Lord had shewed his great mercy towards her, and they congratulated with her.
59Ni tazetto naah loe tangzat hin aah hanah nawkta to a caeh o haih; nihcae mah anih ih ahmin loe ampa ih ahmin palawk hanah Zakariah, tiah sak han oh, tiah a thuih o.
59And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called him by his father’s name Zachary.
60Amno mah, to tih na ai ni; anih ih ahmin loe Johan, tiah sak han oh, tiah a naa.
60And his mother answering, said: Not so; but he shall be called John.
61Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Na caengnawk thungah hae baktih ahmin hae om ai, tiah a naa o.
61And they said to her: There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
62To pongah nihcae mah nawkta ih ahmin kawbangmaw sak han, tiah ampa khaeah ban hoi angmathaih a sak pae moe, a dueng o.
62And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
63To naah anih mah ca trikhaih thlung kangphaek to hnik moe, Anih ih ahmin loe Johan, tiah tarik: to naah nihcae dawnrai o boih.
63And demanding a writing table, he wrote, saying: John is his name. And they all wondered.
64Akra ai ah anih ih pakha to am-ongh pae moe, palai doeh name pae roep, anih loe lok apaeh moe, Sithaw to pakoeh.
64And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.
65To tiah hmuen to oh pacoengah nihcae taengah kaom kaminawk boih nuiah zithaih to phak: hae tiah kaom hmuen kawng to Judea prae mae nuiah kaom kaminawk boih mah thuih o.
65And fear came upon all their neighbours; and all these things were noised abroad over all the hill country of Judea.
66To lok thaih kaminawk boih mah, Angraeng ih ban anih nuiah oh pongah, hae nawkta loe kawbaktih nawkta ah maw om tih vai? tiah palung thung hoiah a poek o.
66And all they that had heard them laid them up in their heart, saying: What an one, think ye, shall this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.
67Ampa Zakariah loe Kacai Muithla hoiah koi moe,
67And Zachary his father was filled with the Holy Ghost; and he prophesied, saying:
68Israel kaminawk ih Sithaw loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe; anih loe angmah ih kaminawk khaeah paqaih moe, angmah ih kaminawk to akrang boeh,
68Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people:
69a tamna David imthung ah aicae hanah pahlonghaih takii maeto tacawtsak boeh;
69And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, in the house of David his servant:
70long amtong tangsuek na hoiah angmah ih kaciim tahmaanawk ih pakha hoi thuih ih lok baktih toengah:
70As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, who are from the beginning:
71aicae loe aimacae misa hoi aicae hnuma kaminawk boih ih ban thung hoiah a loih o tih;
71Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us:
72aicae ampanawk khaeah lokkam ih palungnathaih to amtuengsak moe, angmah ih kaciim lokmaihaih to pahnet han ai ah,
72To perform mercy to our fathers, and to remember his holy testament,
73anih loe aicae ampa Abraham khaeah lokkamhaih to sak boeh:
73The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us,
74zithaih tawn ai ah a hing o na thung, ciimcaihaih hoi toenghaih hoiah anih ih tok to a sak o hanah, aimacae misa ban thung hoiah aicae to na loisak tih.
74That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear,
no verse 75 in this text
75In holiness and justice before him, all our days.
76Nawkta, nang loe, Kasang koek ih tahmaa ah na oh, tiah kawk o tih: nang loe Anih ih loklam paroep hanah Angraeng hmaa ah na caeh tih;
76And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways:
77nihcae zaehaihnawk tahmenhaih rang hoiah Anih ih kaminawk khaeah pahlonghaih kawng panoeksak hanah,
77To give knowledge of salvation to his people, unto the remission of their sins:
78van ranui ih ni bae baktih toengah, aicae Sithaw palungnathaih loe aicae khaeah ni baktiah bae tih boeh;
78Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, in which the Orient from on high hath visited us:
79khoving thung hoi duekhaih tahlip tlim ah anghnu kaminawk to aanghaih paek moe, misa angdaehhaih loklam ah aicae khok takansakhaih ni loe angzoh boeh, tiah lok taphong.
79To enlighten them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: to direct our feet into the way of peace.
80Nawkta loe poekhaih palungthin thacakhaih hoiah qoeng tahang, anih loe Israel kaminawk khaeah amtueng ai karoek to praezaek ah khosak.
80And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit; and was in the deserts until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
