Meriam Mir Gospels
1Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
1Abele mer gaire le giz elele detarare abkesem, abele mer keriba emetu erdarda,
2even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
2Mokakalam uiaba nakuarare keribim, ui ge emetu erdarare, pako memeg le giz ditimeda abele mer,
3it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus;
3Abelelam kaka dikiapor, abele kai deraimer gaire lu uridili peirdi ika ditimedilu, kaka daotare abkesem marim, opole Teofilo;
4that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
4Ueakai ma umele ageakar abele gaire lu, emetu mari ereuerem.
5There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the priestly division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
5Abele kerker ge Heroda, Iudaia opole, nerute zogo kemle, abara nei Zakaria, Abia ra nosik: abara kosker, Arona ra boai, abara nei Elisabeta.
6They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
6Ui barkak tonar Ade ra op ge, uiaba irmilei Iehoua ra mer gelar giz, nole asauersili kak.
7But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
7Ui ge daralei nole uerem kak, abelelam Elisabeta E soaso, ui ge akailei aule bailei.
8Now while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his division
8E ikerer tabara dorge, E zogo le Ade ra op ge, E tabara nosik erag,
9according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into 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.
10The whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
10Uiaba gaire le lakub giz esorerapare adige, abele kerker iger debe laglag lu.
11An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
11Ege Iehoua ra angela de abi etomelu, tuter pek debe laglag lu bao ge.
12Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
12A Zakaria de abi emetu erdar, abele ge ezigmalu, au geum baruk.
13But the angel said to him, “Don’t be afraid, Zacharias, because your request has been heard. Your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you shall call his 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.
14You will have joy and gladness, 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, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. 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.
16He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.
16A darabgerare tababim Isaraela le ra omasker Iehouaim uiaba Ade.
17He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to prepare 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.
18Zacharias said to the angel, “How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced 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.
19The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was 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.
20Behold, you will be silent and not able to speak until the day that these things will happen, because you didn’t believe my words, which will be fulfilled in 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.
21The people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marveled that he delayed in the temple.
21A ab gedge dekailare Zakaria mer aridarid, a uapum bakeam a Ade ra zogo meta.
22When he came out, he could not speak to them. They perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.
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.
23When the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
23A ege abara gerger desmulu, ege ko takomelu tabara boaiem.
24After these days Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,
24A ege keubu gerger basemerare abara kosker Elisabeta kem eskemer; ege E gumik dauer, a faife abara meb, a daraketarare,
25“Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my reproach among men.”
25Ege Ade ikeli gerger karim, a kari uanasmerare, E adem depegi kara sirip.
26Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
26A ege abara meb sikes, Ade de angela temariklu, nei Gaberiela, Galilaiaem a Nazaretaem,
27to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of David’s house. The virgin’s name was Mary.
27Abi gobar detager, Dauida ra boai kimiarem, a E Iosefai akemelu tababim kimiarem, abara nei Maria.
28Having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, you highly favored one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!”
28Abele angela tababu abi detager, kega, Kaka au omare marim, Iehoua uadoa mari dog; ma uerkab kosker gaire kosker ge.
29But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be.
29Ege abi dasmer, ege abara okasosok baruk abele merlam, E dikiapore nalu lu pe omare dali.
30The angel said to her, “Don’t 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 in your womb and give birth to a son, and shall name him ‘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. There will be no end to his Kingdom.”
33E opole obaina Iakobo ra boai ge; abara baselaia ge nole mop kak.
34Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?”
34Ege Maria de angela itimer, kega, Ua nade, ka nole kimiar ardar kak?
35The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born from you 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.
36Behold, Elizabeth your relative also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
36Dasmer, mara boai Elisabeta, E aule, emetu kem eskemer abara kimiar uerem: sikes meb abele kerker, E soaso.
37For nothing spoken by God is impossible.”
37Abelelam Ade umele gaire lu uridili E ikeli.
38Mary said, “Behold, the servant of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from 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.
39Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,
39Ege Maria ekueilu abele kerker ge, dudumge bakeamulu dordor paserem, Iuda ra utebem;
40and entered into the house of Zacharias 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;
42She called out with a loud voice and said, “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.
43Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
43Nako abele lu, tabakeamud karim kara Opole ra apu?
44For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb 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 believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!”
45Ege uerkab kosker ra oditur; abelelam ageakar mer Iehoua de pe etomeret abim.
46Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord.
46Ege Maria detaut, kega, Kara nerkep baospili Iehouaim,
47My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,
47Ege kara nerkep au sererege Ade, E kari nazemoada.
48for he has looked at the humble state of his servant. For behold, 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 he who is mighty 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 is for generations and generations on those who fear him.
50E au omare gaire le la geum, bauder gaire nosik.
51He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
51Ege saserim tabara tag, E adem gaire le lagelage aule dikiapor uiaba nerkep.
52He has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted the lowly.
52Ege naimartare uader opole baolam, ege uader ge nogoka emereder ga baker aule.
53He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.
53Ege darasisilare uader le uiaba uererege debe leuer; uader luglug le no bakeuare.
54He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
54Ege abi upiditidare tabara memeg le Isaraela, E abi au omare:
55as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his offspring forever.”
55Aberahama pako abara omasker niaiem, mokakalam abim detaut meriba aba giz.
56Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.
56Ege Maria de abi dog, nako neis netate meb, gako akomeda tabara boaiem.
57Now the time that Elizabeth should give birth was fulfilled, and she gave birth to a son.
57Ege bakedilu Elisabeta ra meb osemelu; ege kimiar uerem osemelu.
58Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her.
58Ui aserare ge, abara boai giz, Iehoua au omare abi; ui ge sererege abim.
59On the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
59Ga eit gerger, uiaba egared abele uerem peritome; uiaba lagelage abi nei atker Zakaria, taba aba ra nei.
60His mother answered, “Not so; but he will 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 is called by this name.”
61Ui ge abi detagerare, kega, Mara ko boai obatkereda Ioane nei.
62They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
62Ui ge abara aba opu mer detagerare, Ma pe nako ma dikiapore abara nei?
63He asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, “His name is John.” They all marveled.
63E ge uiabi daratagerare, kega, Seleti tekadarare karim; E detali, Abara nei Ioane. Ui ge au kasege damrare.
64His mouth was opened immediately and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.
64Ege akailu merkar etkalu, tabara uerut detue, E mer detaut, a au esoao Adim.
65Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.
65Ege uader maike abi dog ga erdarare uiabim ga geum barkare; abele mer dordor paser ge Iudaia ge ga esao.
66All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, “What then will this child be?” The hand of the Lord was with him.
66Ui ge emetu aserare ga dikiaporare, kega, Nalu uerem dali? Abelelam Iehoua ra tag abi dog pako abi upinati.
67His father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
67Ege abara aba dauer Zakaria mitkar Lamar Zogo, E ekerer perofeta dorge, kega,
68“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people;
68Esoao Isaraela ra Ade, Iehoua pedali; E meribi dasmer E meribi dazimoareta abara ged ge,
69and 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,
70(as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets who have been from of old),
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 toward our fathers, to remember his holy covenant,
72E au omare meriba aba giz, gako dikiapor tom akoar zogo;
73the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
73Beskak mer E nakuar Aberahama meriba aba,
74to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, should 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 life.
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 before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,
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 knowledge of salvation to his people by the remission 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 from on high will visit us,
78Epe Ade pe meriba nasge dali, a kotor datki meribim.
79to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
79Datki ga baziarare gesepem kupikupiem, datki moar degrered meriba teter gab karem.
80The child was growing and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
80Ege abele uerem ga batai, abara nerkep saserim, sumez ge emri, ga abi etomertare Isaraela le giz abi.
