The Gospel According to Saint Luke in Riffi Tamazight (Tarifit)

This is the Gospel according to Saint Luke, one of the earliest believers in Jesus Christ, translated into the Riffi Tamazight language of Morocco (Tarifit). Luke is the third book of the New Testament. Saint Luke was a doctor and a traveling companion of the apostle Paul. This gospel has much about the birth of Jesus. Here is a passage from Luke 1:26-35: In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?” And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. (ESV 2001). Read or listen to more below from the Word of God in the Gospel according to Saint Luke.
