1Mamih taengah aka soep tangtae hno kah cilol te muep a thuep tih boelrhai vaengah,
1Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a narration of the things that have been accomplished among us;
2oltak kah tueihyoeih la aka om rhoek neh a tongcuek lamloh loh aka hmu rhep rhoek loh mamih taengah m'paek uh vanbangla,
2According as they have delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word:
3kai khaw khaeh khaeh boeih ka thuep koep tih hlangcong Theophilu nang taengah daek ham tluep ka poek.
3It seemed good to me also, having diligently attained to all things from the beginning, to write to thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
4Te daengah ni hiluepnah ol loh n'thuituen te khaw na ming eh.
4That thou mayest know the verity of those words in which thou hast been instructed.
5Judea manghai Herod tue vaeng ah, Abijah rhoihui khosoih pakhat, a ming ah Zekhariah te om tih Elizabeth aka ming nah Aaron canu te a yuu nah.
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.
6Pathen hmaiah a dueng la bok om rhoi. Boeipa kah rhilam neh olpaek cungkuem dongah cuemthuek la pongpa rhoi.
6And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and justifications of the Lord without blame.
7Tedae Elizabeth tah cakol la om tih camoe a om kolla a kum khaw patong la bok om rhoi coeng.
7And they had no son, for that Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
8Pathen hmaiah a khosoih vaengkah bangla anih rhoihui te aitlaeng loh a pha.
8And it came to pass, when he executed the priestly function in the order of his course before God,
9Khosoih kah khosing bangla, Boeipa kah bawkim khuiah kun tih hmueihphum ham a yo.
9According to the custom of the priestly office, it was his lot to offer incense, going into the temple of the Lord.
10Bo-ul tue vaengah pilnam khuikah aka om rhaengpuei boeih khaw poeng ah thangthui uh.
10And all the multitude of the people was praying without, at the hour of incense.
11Te vaengah Boeipa kah puencawn tah a taengah a phoe pah tih bo-ul hmueihtuk kah bantang ah pai.
11And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the alter of incense.
12Zekhariah loh a thuen doela a sawt dongah rhihnah loh anih a tlak thil.
12And Zachary seeing him, was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
13Tedae anih te puencawn pakhat loh, “Zekhariah rhih boeh, nang kah rhenbihnah te a hnatun coeng dongah na yuu Elizabeth loh nang ham capa pakhat han cun vetih, a ming te Johan la na khue ni.
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:
14Nang ham omngaihnah neh kohoenah la om vetih anih kah rhuirhong dongah boeih omngaih uh ni.
14And thou shalt have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice in his nativity.
15Boeipa hmaiah a len la om vetih, misurtui neh yu te o loengloeng mahpawh. A manu bung khuiah a om vaengah Mueihla Cim neh baetawt ni.
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.
16Israel ca rhoek te a Boeipa Pathen taengla muep a mael puei ni.
16And he shall convert many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.
17Anih tah a hmaiah Elijah kah mueihla neh thaomnah dongah lamhma ni. Pa rhoek kah thinko te ca rhoek taengla, lokhak rhoek te aka dueng lungcueinah dongla mael ni. Rhoekbah tangtae pilnam tah Boeipa ham a hmoel ni,” a ti nah.
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.
18Te phoeiah Zekhariah loh puencawn taengah, “Hekah he Ba nen lae ka ming eh? Kai tah patong la ka om coeng tih ka yuu khaw a kum te ham coeng,” a ti nah.
18And Zachary said to the angel: Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.
19Te dongah puencawn loh anih te a doo tih, “Kai tah Pathen hmaiah aka pai Gabriel ni, nang taengah he rhoek he phong ham neh thui ham n'tueih.
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.
20Tedae kai ol te na tangnah pawt dongah he he a soep nah khohnin duela olmueh la na om vetih na cal thai mahpawh ne. Amah tue ah ka ol te soep bit ni,” a ti nah.
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.
21Te vaengah Zekhariah te aka lamso pilnam a om dongah bawkim khuiah a di te a ngaihmang uh.
21And the people were waiting for Zachary; and they wondered that he tarried so long in the temple.
22Ha thoeng vaengah tah amih te voek thai voel pawh. Te dongah bawkim khuiah a mangthui a hmuh coeng tila a ming uh. Te dongah Zekhriah loh amih taengah a lu a thuk tih olmueh la phat om.
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.
23Amah kah thothueng khohnin te a cup la a om phoeiah tah amah im la cet.
23And it came to pass, after the days of his office were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
24Te khohnin phoeiah a yuu Elizabeth te vawn tih amah khaw hla nga thuh uh.
24And after those days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying:
25“Boeipa loh kai ham hnin at neh a saii tangloeng coeng, te nen ni hlang lakliah kai dogkah hnaelnah te khoe hamla n'hip,” a ti.
25Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he hath had regard to take away my reproach among men.
26Hla rhuk dongah Pathen taeng lamkah puencawn Gabriel te Galilee khopuei, a ming ah Nazareth la a tueih.
26And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
27David imkhui kah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Joseph ham te oila a bae pah. Oila ming tah Mary ni.
27To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
28Te phoeiah huta taengla kun tih, “A lungvat tangtae aw, omngaih lah, Boeipa tah nang taengah om pai,” a ti nah.
28And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29Tedae Mary te tekah olka dongah konglong ngaihit la om tih te toidalnah loh metla a om eh tila a poek.
29Who having heard, was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be.
30Puencawn loh anih te, “Mary rhih boeh, Pathen taengkah lungvatnah na dang coeng te.
30And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.
31Te dongah bungvawn neh na yom tih capa na cun vaengah a ming te Jesuh sui ne.
31Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
32Anih tah tanglue la om vetih Khohni capa tila a khue ni. Boeipa Pathen loh anih te a napa David kah ngolkhoel te a paek ni.
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.
33Jakob im ah kumhal due manghai pawn ni. A ram te khaw bawt ti om mahpawh,” a ti nah.
33And of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34Te vaengah Mary loh puencawn taengah, “Hekah he metlam a om eh? tongpa khaw ka ming moenih,” a ti nah.
34And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?
35Te dongah anih te puencawn loh a doo tih, “Mueihla Cim loh nang n'thoeng thil vetih, Khohni kah thaomnah te nang m'muek sak ni. Te dongah na cun te aka cim Pathen Capa tila a khue bal ni.
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.
36Te phoeiah namah huiko Elizabeth te a patong soiah, camoe a yom van coeng ke. Te dongah cakol la a khue te tahae ah hla rhuk lo coeng.
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:
37Pathen kah olka boeih long tah a tloel nah moenih,” a ti nah.
37Because no word shall be impossible with God.
38Te dongah Mary loh, “Boeipa kah salnu he, na olka bangla kai taengah om saeh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah puencawn tah anih taeng lamloh nong.
38And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
39Mary tah tekah khohnin ah thoo tih tlang kah Judah kho ah thahluenah neh cet.
39And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.
40Zekhariah im khuiah kun tih Elizabeth te a voek.
40And she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted Elizabeth.
41Mary kah toidalnah te Elizabeth loh a yaak vaengah a bung khuikah cahni te soipet tih Elizabeth khaw Mueihla Cim neh baetawt.
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:
42Te vaengah tamlung neh pang khungdaeng tih, “Nang tah huta rhoek lakliah na yoethen coeng tih, nang bung kah a thaih te a yoethen coeng.
42And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43Kai aih he metlam nim, ka boeipa kah a manu kai taengla ha pawk tarha he?
43And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44Nang kah toidalnah ol te ka hna khuiah a kun vaengah tah, ka bung khuikah cahni loh kohoenah neh soipet he.
44For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
45Te dongah Boeipa loh a thui te hmakhahnah om ni tila aka tangnah tah a yoethen,” a ti nah.
45And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.
46Mary long khaw, “Boeipa te ka hinglu loh a oep.
46And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.
47Ka mueihla tah ka khangkung Pathen dongah hlampan coeng.
47And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48A salnu mathoe he a paelki thil coeng dongah tahae lamkah tah cadil boeih loh kai ng'uem uh pawn ni.
48Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49Kai taengah thaom tloe la a saii dongah, a ming tah cim pai saeh.
49Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name.
50A rhennah tah amah aka rhih rhoek kah cadil cahma ham ni.
50And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.
51A ban neh a thaomnah a saii, a thinko kopoek ah buhueng aka pom te a taekyak.
51He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
52Mangpa rhoek a ngolkhoel lamloh a hlak tih, tlayae rhoek te a pomsang.
52He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble.
53Bungpong rhoek te hno then neh a hah sak tih, khuehtawn rhoek a tlongtlai la a tueih.
53He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
54A rhennah te poek sak hamla a ca Israel te a bom .
54He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy:
55A pa rhoek taengah a thui bangla, Abraham neh a tiingan taengah kumhal duela a khueh,” a ti.
55As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever.
56Mary te Elizabeth neh hla thum tluk hmaih a naeh phoeiah amah im la bal.
56And Mary abode with her about three months; and she returned to her own house.
57Elizabeth te a om tue a pha coeng tih capa a cun.
57Now Elizabeth’s full time of being delivered was come, and she brought forth a son.
58Boeipa loh a rhennah te anih taengah a khueh tih, a oep te a huiko neh imben loh a yaak vaengah anih te a omngaih puei uh.
58And her neighbours and kinsfolks heard that the Lord had shewed his great mercy towards her, and they congratulated with her.
59Khohnin hnin rhet a lo vaengah camoe te yahvinrhet ham cet uh. Te vaengah anih te a napa ming Zekhariah la a khue uh.
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.
60Tedae a manu loh a doo tih, “Moenih, Johan la a khue ni,” a ti nah.
60And his mother answering, said: Not so; but he shall be called John.
61Te vaengah anih taengah, “Hekah ming la a khue te na cako khuiah a om pawt ah,” a ti na uh.
61And they said to her: There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
62Camoe metla khue a ngaih poek tila a napa te a yavaih uh.
62And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
63Te vaengah cabael a hoe tih a daek hatah, “A ming tah Johan ni,” a ti tih boeih a ngaihmang uh.
63And demanding a writing table, he wrote, saying: John is his name. And they all wondered.
64Te vaengah a hmui, a lai te khaw pahoi a khui pah dongah cal tih Pathen te a uem.
64And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.
65Te vaengah amih tolvael rhoek boeih te rhihnah loh a pai thil. Te dongah hekah olka loh Judah tlang tom te boeih a ngae uh.
65And fear came upon all their neighbours; and all these things were noised abroad over all the hill country of Judea.
66Aka ya boeih loh a thinko khuiah a dueh uh tih, “Hekah camoe he metlam nim a om ve?” a ti uh. Tedae Boeipa kah kut loh anih te a om puei.
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.
67A napa Zekhariah tah Mueihla Cim neh baetawt.
67And Zachary his father was filled with the Holy Ghost; and he prophesied, saying:
68Te dongah a olphong neh, “A pilnam te a hip tih tlannah a saii dongah, Israel Pathen Boeipa tah uemom pai saeh.
68Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people:
69A taengom David im khuiah mamih ham khangnah ki a thoh sak.
69And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, in the house of David his servant:
70Khosuen lamloh a tonghma ciim rhoek kah ka dongah a thui vanbangla,
70As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, who are from the beginning:
71Mamih kah rhal rhoek neh mamih aka hmuhuet rhoek boeih kut lamkah khangnah,
71Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us:
72a pa rhoek taengah rhennah tueng sak ham neh a paipi ciim te poek sak ham,
72To perform mercy to our fathers, and to remember his holy testament,
73a pa Abraham taengah olhlo neh a toemngam te mamih paek ham,
73The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us,
74amah taengah thothueng hamla rhal kut lamloh hoel n'hlawt coeng.
74That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear,
75Mamih kah khohnin rhoek boeih te amah hmaiah duengnah neh cimcaihnah ham ni.
75In holiness and justice before him, all our days.
76Te phoeiah, camoe, nang tah Khohni tonghma la n'khue vetih a longpuei rhoekbah ham Boeipa hmaiah na lamhma ni.
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:
77Amih kah tholh khodawkngainah rhangneh a pilnam taengah khangnah mingnah a paek ni.
77To give knowledge of salvation to his people, unto the remission of their sins:
78Mamih Pathen kah rhehnah om. Te nen te a sang lamkah khothoeng loh mamih n'hip.
78Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, in which the Orient from on high hath visited us:
79Dueknah mueihlip neh yinnah khuiah aka ngol rhoek ham te a tue vetih, mamih kah kho te ngaimongnah longpuei la hoihaeng ham ni,” a ti.
79To enlighten them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: to direct our feet into the way of peace.
80Camoe tah rhoeng tih mueihla ah khaw rhaang. Te dongah Israel taengah a phoenah khohnin duela khosoek ah om.
80And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit; and was in the deserts until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
