Luke 1
1 Inasmuch as many have taken in hand to arrange in order a narration about the deeds that have been brought to fullness among us,
prathamatO yE sAkSiNO vAkyapracArakAzcAsan tE'smAkaM madhyE yadyat sapramANaM vAkyamarpayanti sma
2 just as they delivered them to us, who became from the beginning eyewitnesses and servants of the word,
tadanusAratO'nyEpi bahavastadvRttAntaM racayituM pravRttAH|
3 it occurred to me also, having followed closely from the beginning all things accurately, to write to thee in order, eminent Theophilus,
ataEva hE mahAmahimathiyaphil tvaM yA yAH kathA azikSyathAstAsAM dRPhapramANAni yathA prApnOSi
4 so that thou might know the certainty of the declarations about which thou were instructed.
tadarthaM prathamamArabhya tAni sarvvANi jnjAtvAhamapi anukramAt sarvvavRttAntAn tubhyaM lEkhituM matimakArSam|
5 It came to pass in the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a certain priest, named Zacharias, from the division of Abijah, and his wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
yihUdAdEzIyahErOdnAmakE rAjatvaM kurvvati abIyayAjakasya paryyAyAdhikArI sikhariyanAmaka EkO yAjakO hArONavaMzOdbhavA ilIzEvAkhyA
6 And they were both righteous before God, going in all the commandments and righteous things of the Lord blameless.
tasya jAyA dvAvimau nirdOSau prabhOH sarvvAjnjA vyavasthAzca saMmanya IzvaradRSTau dhArmmikAvAstAm|
7 And there was no child to them because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in their days.
tayOH santAna EkOpi nAsIt, yata ilIzEvA bandhyA tau dvAvEva vRddhAvabhavatAm|
8 But it came to pass during his service as a priest in the course of his division in the presence of God,
yadA svaparyyAnukramENa sikhariya IzvAsya samakSaM yAjakIyaM karmma karOti
9 that, according to the custom of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to burn incense after entering into the temple of the Lord.
tadA yajnjasya dinaparipAyyA paramEzvarasya mandirE pravEzakAlE dhUpajvAlanaM karmma tasya karaNIyamAsIt|
10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
taddhUpajvAlanakAlE lOkanivahE prArthanAM kartuM bahistiSThati
11 And an agent of the Lord became visible to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
sati sikhariyO yasyAM vEdyAM dhUpaM jvAlayati taddakSiNapArzvE paramEzvarasya dUta Eka upasthitO darzanaM dadau|
12 And Zacharias having seen, was shaken, and fear fell upon him.
taM dRSTvA sikhariya udvivijE zazagkE ca|
13 But the agent said to him, Fear not, Zacharias, because thy plea was heard, and thy wife Elizabeth will bear a son for thee. And thou shall call his name John.
tadA sa dUtastaM babhASE hE sikhariya mA bhaistava prArthanA grAhyA jAtA tava bhAryyA ilIzEvA putraM prasOSyatE tasya nAma yOhan iti kariSyasi|
14 And there will be joy and exultation for thee, and many will rejoice at his birth.
kinjca tvaM sAnandaH saharSazca bhaviSyasi tasya janmani bahava AnandiSyanti ca|
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he should, no, not drink wine and strong drink. And he will be filled of the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's belly.
yatO hEtOH sa paramEzvarasya gOcarE mahAn bhaviSyati tathA drAkSArasaM surAM vA kimapi na pAsyati, aparaM janmArabhya pavitrENAtmanA paripUrNaH
16 And he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God.
san isrAyElvaMzIyAn anEkAn prabhOH paramEzvarasya mArgamAnESyati|
17 And he will go ahead, in front of him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn back the hearts of fathers toward children, and the disobedient in a mentality of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.
santAnAn prati pitRNAM manAMsi dharmmajnjAnaM pratyanAjnjAgrAhiNazca parAvarttayituM, prabhOH paramEzvarasya sEvArtham EkAM sajjitajAtiM vidhAtunjca sa EliyarUpAtmazaktiprAptastasyAgrE gamiSyati|
18 And Zacharias said to the agent, How will I know this? For I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days.
tadA sikhariyO dUtamavAdIt kathamEtad vEtsyAmi? yatOhaM vRddhO mama bhAryyA ca vRddhA|
19 And having answered, the agent said to him, I am Gabriel who stand in the presence of God. And I was sent to speak to thee, and to announce these good news to thee.
tatO dUtaH pratyuvAca pazyEzvarasya sAkSAdvarttI jibrAyElnAmA dUtOhaM tvayA saha kathAM gadituM tubhyamimAM zubhavArttAM dAtunjca prESitaH|
20 And behold, thou will be mute, and not able to speak until that day these things will come to pass, because thou did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.
kintu madIyaM vAkyaM kAlE phaliSyati tat tvayA na pratItam ataH kAraNAd yAvadEva tAni na sEtsyanti tAvat tvaM vaktuMmazaktO mUkO bhava|
21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and they wondered during his delay in the temple.
tadAnIM yE yE lOkAH sikhariyamapaikSanta tE madhyEmandiraM tasya bahuvilambAd AzcaryyaM mEnirE|
22 And when he came out, he could not speak to them, and they recognized that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he was beckoning to them, and remained speechless.
sa bahirAgatO yadA kimapi vAkyaM vaktumazaktaH sagkEtaM kRtvA niHzabdastasyau tadA madhyEmandiraM kasyacid darzanaM tEna prAptam iti sarvvE bubudhirE|
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
anantaraM tasya sEvanaparyyAyE sampUrNE sati sa nijagEhaM jagAma|
24 And after these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and she concealed herself five months, saying,
katipayadinESu gatESu tasya bhAryyA ilIzEvA garbbhavatI babhUva
25 Thus the Lord has done to me during the days in which he looked, to take away my shame among men.
pazcAt sA panjcamAsAn saMgOpyAkathayat lOkAnAM samakSaM mamApamAnaM khaNPayituM paramEzvarO mayi dRSTiM pAtayitvA karmmEdRzaM kRtavAn|
26 Now in the sixth month the agent Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
aparanjca tasyA garbbhasya SaSThE mAsE jAtE gAlIlpradEzIyanAsaratpurE
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary.
dAyUdO vaMzIyAya yUSaphnAmnE puruSAya yA mariyamnAmakumArI vAgdattAsIt tasyAH samIpaM jibrAyEl dUta IzvarENa prahitaH|
28 And the agent having come in near her, he said, Hail, thou who are highly favored. The Lord is with thee, thou who are blessed among women.
sa gatvA jagAda hE IzvarAnugRhItakanyE tava zubhaM bhUyAt prabhuH paramEzvarastava sahAyOsti nArINAM madhyE tvamEva dhanyA|
29 But having seen, she was perplexed at his saying, and was pondering what kind of greeting this might be.
tadAnIM sA taM dRSTvA tasya vAkyata udvijya kIdRzaM bhASaNamidam iti manasA cintayAmAsa|
30 And the agent said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou have found favor with God.
tatO dUtO'vadat hE mariyam bhayaM mAkArSIH, tvayi paramEzvarasyAnugrahOsti|
31 And behold, thou will conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son. And thou shall call his name JESUS.
pazya tvaM garbbhaM dhRtvA putraM prasOSyasE tasya nAma yIzuriti kariSyasi|
32 This man 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.
sa mahAn bhaviSyati tathA sarvvEbhyaH zrESThasya putra iti khyAsyati; aparaM prabhuH paramEzvarastasya piturdAyUdaH siMhAsanaM tasmai dAsyati;
33 And he will reign over the house of Jacob into the ages. And of his kingdom there will be no end. (aiōn g165)
tathA sa yAkUbO vaMzOpari sarvvadA rAjatvaM kariSyati, tasya rAjatvasyAntO na bhaviSyati| (aiōn g165)
34 And Mary said to the agent, How will this be, since I know not a man?
tadA mariyam taM dUtaM babhASE nAhaM puruSasaggaM karOmi tarhi kathamEtat sambhaviSyati?
35 And having answered, the agent said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee. Therefore also the holy thing that is begotten will be called the Son of God.
tatO dUtO'kathayat pavitra AtmA tvAmAzrAyiSyati tathA sarvvazrESThasya zaktistavOpari chAyAM kariSyati tatO hEtOstava garbbhAd yaH pavitrabAlakO janiSyatE sa Izvaraputra iti khyAtiM prApsyati|
36 And behold, Elizabeth thy kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
aparanjca pazya tava jnjAtirilIzEvA yAM sarvvE bandhyAmavadan idAnIM sA vArddhakyE santAnamEkaM garbbhE'dhArayat tasya SaSThamAsObhUt|
37 For no word from God will be impossible.
kimapi karmma nAsAdhyam Izvarasya|
38 And Mary said, Behold the maid-servant of the Lord. May it happen to me according to thy word. And the agent departed from her.
tadA mariyam jagAda, pazya prabhErahaM dAsI mahyaM tava vAkyAnusArENa sarvvamEtad ghaTatAm; ananataraM dUtastasyAH samIpAt pratasthE|
39 And having risen in these days, Mary went with haste into the hill country, into a city of Judah,
atha katipayadinAt paraM mariyam tasmAt parvvatamayapradEzIyayihUdAyA nagaramEkaM zIghraM gatvA
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.
sikhariyayAjakasya gRhaM pravizya tasya jAyAm ilIzEvAM sambOdhyAvadat|
41 And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her belly. And Elizabeth was filled of the Holy Spirit,
tatO mariyamaH sambOdhanavAkyE ilIzEvAyAH karNayOH praviSTamAtrE sati tasyA garbbhasthabAlakO nanartta| tata ilIzEvA pavitrENAtmanA paripUrNA satI
42 and she exclaimed in a great voice, and said, Blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy belly.
prOccairgaditumArEbhE, yOSitAM madhyE tvamEva dhanyA, tava garbbhasthaH zizuzca dhanyaH|
43 And why is this to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me?
tvaM prabhOrmAtA, mama nivEzanE tvayA caraNAvarpitau, mamAdya saubhAgyamEtat|
44 For lo, when the voice of thy greeting happened in my ears, the babe leaped with joy in my belly.
pazya tava vAkyE mama karNayOH praviSTamAtrE sati mamOdarasthaH zizurAnandAn nanartta|
45 And blessed is she who believed, because there will be a fulfillment of the things that were spoken to her from the Lord.
yA strI vyazvasIt sA dhanyA, yatO hEtOstAM prati paramEzvarOktaM vAkyaM sarvvaM siddhaM bhaviSyati|
46 And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,
tadAnIM mariyam jagAda| dhanyavAdaM parEzasya karOti mAmakaM manaH|
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
mamAtmA tArakEzE ca samullAsaM pragacchati|
48 because he has looked upon the lowliness of his bondmaid. For behold, from henceforth all generations will regard me blessed,
akarOt sa prabhu rduSTiM svadAsyA durgatiM prati| pazyAdyArabhya mAM dhanyAM vakSyanti puruSAH sadA|
49 because the Mighty has done great things to me. And his name is holy.
yaH sarvvazaktimAn yasya nAmApi ca pavitrakaM| sa Eva sumahatkarmma kRtavAn mannimittakaM|
50 And his mercy is for generations of generations to those who fear him.
yE bibhyati janAstasmAt tESAM santAnapaMktiSu| anukampA tadIyA ca sarvvadaiva sutiSThati|
51 He did a mighty work by his arm. He scattered the proud in the mentality of their heart.
svabAhubalatastEna prAkAzyata parAkramaH| manaHkumantraNAsArddhaM vikIryyantE'bhimAninaH|
52 He brought down potentates from thrones, and raised up lowly men.
siMhAsanagatAllOkAn balinazcAvarOhya saH| padESUccESu lOkAMstu kSudrAn saMsthApayatyapi|
53 He filled those who are hungry with good things, and those who are rich he sent away empty.
kSudhitAn mAnavAn dravyairuttamaiH paritarpya saH| sakalAn dhaninO lOkAn visRjEd riktahastakAn|
54 He helped his boy Israel to be reminded of mercy,

56 And Mary dwelt with her about three months, and returned to her house.
anantaraM mariyam prAyENa mAsatrayam ilIzEvayA sahOSitvA vyAghuyya nijanivEzanaM yayau|
57 Now the time for Elizabeth was fulfilled for her to give birth, and she brought forth a son.
tadanantaram ilIzEvAyAH prasavakAla upasthitE sati sA putraM prAsOSTa|
58 And her neighbors and her kinfolk heard that the Lord magnified his mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her.
tataH paramEzvarastasyAM mahAnugrahaM kRtavAn Etat zrutvA samIpavAsinaH kuTumbAzcAgatya tayA saha mumudirE|
59 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling it by the name of his father Zacharias.
tathASTamE dinE tE bAlakasya tvacaM chEttum Etya tasya pitRnAmAnurUpaM tannAma sikhariya iti karttumISuH|
60 And his mother having answered, said, No, but he will be called John.
kintu tasya mAtAkathayat tanna, nAmAsya yOhan iti karttavyam|
61 And they said to her, There is no man among thy relatives who is called by this name.
tadA tE vyAharan tava vaMzamadhyE nAmEdRzaM kasyApi nAsti|
62 And they made signs to his father, whatever he wanted to call him.
tataH paraM tasya pitaraM sikhariyaM prati sagkEtya papracchuH zizOH kiM nAma kAriSyatE?
63 And having asked for a writing tablet, he wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled.
tataH sa phalakamEkaM yAcitvA lilEkha tasya nAma yOhan bhaviSyati| tasmAt sarvvE AzcaryyaM mEnirE|
64 And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue, and he spoke, praising God.
tatkSaNaM sikhariyasya jihvAjAPyE'pagatE sa mukhaM vyAdAya spaSTavarNamuccAryya Izvarasya guNAnuvAdaM cakAra|
65 And fear developed in all who dwell around them. And all these sayings were talked about in the entire hill country of Judea.
tasmAccaturdiksthAH samIpavAsilOkA bhItA EvamEtAH sarvvAH kathA yihUdAyAH parvvatamayapradEzasya sarvvatra pracAritAH|
66 And all who heard stored up in their heart, saying, What then will this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.
tasmAt zrOtArO manaHsu sthApayitvA kathayAmbabhUvuH kIdRzOyaM bAlO bhaviSyati? atha paramEzvarastasya sahAyObhUt|
67 And his father Zacharias was filled of the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
tadA yOhanaH pitA sikhariyaH pavitrENAtmanA paripUrNaH san EtAdRzaM bhaviSyadvAkyaM kathayAmAsa|
68 Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, because he came to help, and made ransom for his people.
isrAyElaH prabhu ryastu sa dhanyaH paramEzvaraH| anugRhya nijAllOkAn sa Eva parimOcayEt|
69 And he raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his boy David,

sEvAmahai tamEvaikam EtatkAraNamEva ca| svakIyaM supavitranjca saMsmRtya niyamaM sadA|
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us,

72 to do mercy with our fathers, and his holy covenant to be remembered,

73 the oath that he swore to Abraham our father, to give to us,

74 without fear from the hand of our enemies, having been saved to serve him

75 in piety and righteousness before him all the days of our life.
vaMzE trAtAramEkaM sa samutpAditavAn svayam|
76 And thou, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High. For thou will go ahead, before the face of the Lord, to prepare his ways,

77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins,

78 because of the bowels of mercy of our God, by which the dayspring from on high came to help us,

80 And the child grew, and became strong in spirit. And he was in the desolate regions until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
