Berean Standard Bible
1MURIN me toto ar intiniedier kajoi pan meakan, me kitail kin kamelele,
1Many have undertaken to compose an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,
2Duen ir, me kajokajoi on kit, me jaunkakede o papa pan majan jan ni tapi o,
2just as they were handed down to us by the initial eyewitnesses and servants of the word.
3I ap pil lamedar, me mau, i en intin won komui, Main Tiopiluj, pwe i lelepokki karoj jan in tapi o kokodo.
3Therefore, having carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,
4Pwe komui en aja duen meakan me komui aleer, me pun melel.
4so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
5Ni muein Erodej nanmarki en ludiia, jamoro amen mia, kijan pwin on Apia, me mar a Jakariaj, o a paud amen jan nain Aron jeripein oko, me mar a Elijapet.
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.
6Ira karoj me pun mon Kot, o ira ineneweita ni en Kaun a kujoned o tiak kan karoj.
6Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and decrees of the Lord.
7A jota naira jeri, pwe Elijapet li dapwan amen, o ira karoj likailapalar.
7But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well along in years.
8A kadekadeo ni a kapwaiada a dodok en jamero mon Kot ni anjau o, me a pwin pwaijaneki,
8One day while Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,
9Duen a kin wiaui ren jamero kan, o anjau en ijik mairon lao leler, a kotilon on nan im en kaudok en Kaun o.
9he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10A pokon kalaimun mi liki, wiawia kapakap ni klok en ijij.
10And at the hour of the incense offering, the whole congregation was praying outside.
11A tounlan en Kaun amen pwara don i, kotikot ni pali maun en pei jaraui en potik.
11Just then an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
12Jakariaj lao majani, ap lujikida o majapwekada.
12When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and gripped with fear.
13A tounlan o majani on i: Jakariaj, der majak, pwe om kapakap pwaidar, om paud Elijapet pan naitikeda jeri ol amen, a koe pan ki on mar a Ioanej.
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.
14O a pan kare on uk peren o popol, o me toto pan perenki a ipwidi.
14He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice at his birth,
15Pwe a pan lapalap ren Kaun o, a jota pan nim wain, pil jo eu jon en joko; a pan dir en Nen jaraui nan kupur en in a.
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.
16A me toto ren nain Ijrael akan, me a pan kawuki on Kaun ar Kot.
16Many of the sons of Israel he will turn back to the Lord their God.
17A pan tion mo a ni nen o rojon en Eliaj, pwen kawuki on jeri kan monion en jam arail akan o me jopeik kan on lamalam en me pun kan, pwen kaonopadan Kaun o pwin aramaj lelapok eu.
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.”
18A Jakariaj majani on tounlan o: Da me i en ajaki me wet? Pwe I ol laudalar amen, o ai paud pil likailapalar.
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.”
19A tounlan japen majani on i: Nai Kapriel, me kin ariri Kot, o me pakadarado, en lokaia on uk, o wa don uk ronamau pukat.
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.
20Kilan, koe pan loton la, o jaja lokaia lao lel ran o, me mepukat pan pwaida, pweki om jota kamelele ai kajoi, me pan pwaida ni a anjau.
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.”
21A pokon o auiaui Jakariaj, puriamuiki a pwapwand nan im ni kaudok.
21Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he took so long in the temple.
22A lao pedoi jan, a jolar kak majan on irail. Irail ap dedeki, me e udial manaman eu nan im en kaudok o. A olol on irail o lotonlar.
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.
23Kadekadeo ran akan en a dodok lao nikier, a kotin purelan japwe koieilan im a.
23And when the days of his service were complete, he returned home.
24Murin ran pukat a paud Elijapet lijeanda o mimieta nan deu a jaunipon limau indada:
24After these days, his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. She declared,
25Iduen Kaun o kotin wiai on ia ni ran oko, ni a kotin majan don ia, pwen kotiki jan ia kanamenok pai ren aramaj.
25“The Lord has done this for me. In these days He has shown me favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.”
26Ni kawonu en jaunipon tounlan Kapriel pakadarala jan ren Kot on nan kanim en Kalilaa eu, me ad a Najaret,
26In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,
27Ren jeripein makelekel amen, me kijin nin on ol amen, me mar a Iojep, kijan kadaudok en Dawid; jeripein makelekel o adaneki Maria.
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.
28Tounlan o kotilon on nan deu a majani on i: Kajelelia Main, kom meid pai, Kaun o kotikot re omui! Kom meid pai nan pun en li akan!
28The angel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
29A lao kilaner i, o ronadar a majan, ap majapwekadar madamadaua: Duen jon en ranamau o.
29Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
30A tounlan majani on i: Maria, ender majak, pwe komui me konekonelar ren Kot.
30So the angel told her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31A kilan, komui pan lijeanda o naitikeda jeri ol amen, a komui pan ki on mar a Iejuj.
31Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus.
32Nan i me pan lapalap, o a pan maraneki Japwilim en Kaun lapalap, o Kaun Kot pan kotiki on i mol en jam a Dawid.
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,
33O a pan kakaunda kadaudok en Iakop kokolata, o japwilim a wei jota pan imwila.
33and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever. His kingdom will never end!”
34Maria ap majani on tounlan o: Daduen mepukat pan kak wiaui, aki i jaja ol amen?
34“How can this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
35Tounlan o kotin japen majani on i: Nen jaraui pan kotin ti po omui o rojon en Kaun lapalap pan kipa komui di, i me jaraui o, me pan ipwi jan komui, pan marenki: Japwilim en Kot.
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.
36O majani, ri om Elijapet pil lijeandar ni a likailapala, a pan neitikeda jeri ol amen, a kawonu en jaunipon anjau wet; iei i me dapwan,
36Look, even Elizabeth your relative has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called barren is in her sixth month.
37Pwe jota meakot, me Kot jota kak on.
37For no word from God will ever fail.”
38A Maria potoan on: Majani, nai lidu en Kaun o; en wiaui on ia duen omui majan. Tounlan o ap kotila jan re a.
38“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it happen to me according to your word.” Then the angel left her.
39I ran oko Maria madan kotila pon nana o nan kanim en luda eu,
39In those days Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judah,
40Ap pedelon on nan im en Jakariaj o ranamau on Elijapet.
40where she entered the home of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
41Kadekadeo Elijapet lao roner en Maria a ranamau on i, jeri o ap mokideda nan kaped a; a Elijapet ap direkila Nen jaraui,
41When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
42O nil laudeda majani: Komui meid pai ren li akan, o meid iajanai ipwin kupur omui!
42In a loud voice she exclaimed, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
43A iaduen pai wet a ko jan ia, pwe in en ai Kaun koti don ia?
43And why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44Majani, ni ai roner omui ranamau, jeri o ap mokideda nan kaped i aki a peren.
44For as soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
45O komui meid pai, pweki komui pojon! Pwe a pan pwaida, me Kaun o kotin majani on komui.
45Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord’s word to her will be fulfilled.”
46Maria ap majani: Lol ai kapina Kaun o,
46Then Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,
47O nen i perenki Kot ai Jaunkamaur.
47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!
48Pwe a kotin kupurala japwilim a lidu tikitik o. Kilan, jan met o kokolata di karoj pan kapai kin ia,
48For He has looked with favor on the humble state of His servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed.
49Pwe a kotin wiaer jon en manaman on ia, me lapalap o mar a me jaraui.
49For the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is His name.
50A kotin kalanan on di karoj kokolata, on irail me kin lan i.
50His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation.
51O a kotin wia kida lim a manaman akan. O a kotin kara wan pajan, me kin lemai nan monion arail.
51He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
52A kotin jikin wei jaupeidi kan jan mol ar, ap id kajapwilada me tikitik kan.
52He has brought down rulers from their thrones, but has exalted the humble.
53A kotin kamede kida kapwa me men manadar akan, ap kotin kadarala kaip me kapwapwa kan.
53He has filled the hungry with good things, but has sent the rich away empty.
54A kotin upor kin japwilim a ladu Ijrael, o kotin tamataman a kalanan,
54He has helped His servant Israel, remembering to be merciful,
55Duen a kotin majani on jam atail akan, on Apraam o kadaudok a kokolata.
55as He promised to our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants forever.”
56A Maria kotikot re a jaunipon jilu, ap purelan im a.
56Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
57Ari, anjaun Elijapet leler pwen naitik, a naitikeda jeri ol amen.
57When the time came for Elizabeth to have her child, she gave birth to a son.
58O men imp a kan o jau i ronadar, me Kaun o kotin kupura i, rap ian i peren kida.
58Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they rejoiced with her.
59Kadekadeo auel en ran o re pwara don jirkomjaij jeri o; ir ari ki on mar en jam a Jakariaj.
59On the eighth day, when they came to circumcise the child, they were going to name him after his father Zechariah.
60A in a japen indada: O kaidin, pwe a pan maraneki Ioanej.
60But his mother replied, “No! He shall be called John.”
61lrail ap indan i: Nan jota jau om men me maraneki met.
61They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who bears this name.”
62Irail ap olol on jam a, duen me a mauki, jeri en adaneki.
62So they made signs to his father to find out what he wanted to name the child.
63I ari poeki jlet eu, ap intiniedier o majani: A pan adaneki loanej. Irail karoj ap puriamuiki.
63Zechariah asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.
64A madan jilan i wajok pajan o tenap a japadokada; i ari majani o kapina Kot.
64Immediately Zechariah’s mouth was opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak, praising God.
65A majak kipadi karoj, me kaukaujon imp ar, o wiawia pukat lolok jili pon nana en Iudaa karoj.
65All their neighbors were filled with awe, and people throughout the hill country of Judea were talking about these events.
66A karoj me ronadar, kin nekinekid nan monion arail, indada: Da me jeri men et pan wiala? Pwe lim en Kaun o kotin ian i.
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.
67A jam a Jakariaj direkila Nen jaraui ap kokopada majani:
67Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
68Kapina on Kaun Kot en Ijrael, pwe a kotidier ren japwilim a aramaj akan dore ir ala.
68“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and redeemed His people.
69O kotin wiadan kitail kamaur patail jan nan kadaudok en japwilim a ladu Dawid.
69He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David,
70Duen a kotin majanier ren japwilim a jaukop jaraui kan, jan tapin kaua kokodo,
70as He spoke through His holy prophets, those of ages past,
71Me a pan kotin dore kitail la jan ren atail imwintiti o jan nan pa en me kailon kin kitail,
71salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us,
72O kotin kalanan on jam atail akan, o kotin kupureda a inau jaraui,
72to show mercy to our fathers and to remember His holy covenant,
73O kaula eu, me a kotin kauki on jam atail Apraam, en kotiki on kitail.
73the oath He swore to our father Abraham, to grant us
74Pwe jen dore jan nan pa en atail imwintiti, ap papa i jo majak,
74deliverance from hostile hands, that we may serve Him without fear,
75Nin tiak lelapok o pun mon jilan i ran karoj kokolata.
75in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our lives.
76A koe nai jeri pan adaneki: Jaukop en me lapalap o, pwe koe pan tion mon jilan en Kaun o, pwen kuonopada japwilim a al akan
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,
77Pwen kawewe on japwilim a aramaj kamaur, iei lapwa pan dip ar akan;
77to give to His people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,
78Pweki en atail Kot a kalanan melel, me marain dakaraki don kitail jan poa.
78because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the Dawn will visit us from on high,
79Pwen kamaraini toun pali rotorot o mot en mela, o kainen on na atail nan al en popol.
79to shine on those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
80A jeri o kakairida, o kelail ni nen e, o a kin mimi nan jap tan, lao a pan janjal on Ijrael.
80And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the wilderness until the time of his public appearance to Israel.
