Luke 1
1 Forasmuch as many have undertaken to draw up a relation concerning the matters fully believed among us,
prathamatō yē sākṣiṇō vākyapracārakāścāsan tē'smākaṁ madhyē yadyat sapramāṇaṁ vākyamarpayanti sma
2 as those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses of and attendants on the Word have delivered them to us,
tadanusāratō'nyēpi bahavastadvr̥ttāntaṁ racayituṁ pravr̥ttāḥ|
3 it has seemed good to me also, accurately acquainted from the origin with all things, to write to thee with method, most excellent Theophilus,
ataēva hē mahāmahimathiyaphil tvaṁ yā yāḥ kathā aśikṣyathāstāsāṁ dr̥ḍhapramāṇāni yathā prāpnōṣi
4 that thou mightest know the certainty of those things in which thou hast been instructed.
tadarthaṁ prathamamārabhya tāni sarvvāṇi jñātvāhamapi anukramāt sarvvavr̥ttāntān tubhyaṁ lēkhituṁ matimakārṣam|
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Abia, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.
yihūdādēśīyahērōdnāmakē rājatvaṁ kurvvati abīyayājakasya paryyāyādhikārī sikhariyanāmaka ēkō yājakō hārōṇavaṁśōdbhavā ilīśēvākhyā
6 And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
tasya jāyā dvāvimau nirdōṣau prabhōḥ sarvvājñā vyavasthāśca saṁmanya īśvaradr̥ṣṭau dhārmmikāvāstām|
7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.
tayōḥ santāna ēkōpi nāsīt, yata ilīśēvā bandhyā tau dvāvēva vr̥ddhāvabhavatām|
8 And it came to pass, as he fulfilled his priestly service before God in the order of his course,
yadā svaparyyānukramēṇa sikhariya īśvāsya samakṣaṁ yājakīyaṁ karmma karōti
9 it fell to him by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter into the temple of the Lord to burn incense.
tadā yajñasya dinaparipāyyā paramēśvarasya mandirē pravēśakālē dhūpajvālanaṁ karmma tasya karaṇīyamāsīt|
10 And all the multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense.
taddhūpajvālanakālē lōkanivahē prārthanāṁ kartuṁ bahistiṣṭhati
11 And an angel of [the] Lord appeared to him, standing on the right of the altar of incense.
sati sikhariyō yasyāṁ vēdyāṁ dhūpaṁ jvālayati taddakṣiṇapārśvē paramēśvarasya dūta ēka upasthitō darśanaṁ dadau|
12 And Zacharias was troubled, seeing [him], and fear fell upon him.
taṁ dr̥ṣṭvā sikhariya udvivijē śaśaṅkē ca|
13 But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias, because thy supplication has been heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
tadā sa dūtastaṁ babhāṣē hē sikhariya mā bhaistava prārthanā grāhyā jātā tava bhāryyā ilīśēvā putraṁ prasōṣyatē tasya nāma yōhan iti kariṣyasi|
14 And he shall be to thee joy and rejoicing, and many shall rejoice at his birth.
kiñca tvaṁ sānandaḥ saharṣaśca bhaviṣyasi tasya janmani bahava ānandiṣyanti ca|
15 For he shall be great before [the] Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with [the] Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
yatō hētōḥ sa paramēśvarasya gōcarē mahān bhaviṣyati tathā drākṣārasaṁ surāṁ vā kimapi na pāsyati, aparaṁ janmārabhya pavitrēṇātmanā paripūrṇaḥ
16 And many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to [the] Lord their God.
san isrāyēlvaṁśīyān anēkān prabhōḥ paramēśvarasya mārgamānēṣyati|
17 And he shall go before him in [the] spirit and power of Elias, to turn hearts of fathers to children, and disobedient ones to [the] thoughts of just [men], to make ready for [the] Lord a prepared people.
santānān prati pitr̥ṇāṁ manāṁsi dharmmajñānaṁ pratyanājñāgrāhiṇaśca parāvarttayituṁ, prabhōḥ paramēśvarasya sēvārtham ēkāṁ sajjitajātiṁ vidhātuñca sa ēliyarūpātmaśaktiprāptastasyāgrē gamiṣyati|
18 And Zacharias said to the angel, How shall I know this, for I am an old man, and my wife advanced in years?
tadā sikhariyō dūtamavādīt kathamētad vētsyāmi? yatōhaṁ vr̥ddhō mama bhāryyā ca vr̥ddhā|
19 And the angel answering, said to him, I am Gabriel, who stand before God, and I have been sent to speak to thee, and to bring these glad tidings to thee;
tatō dūtaḥ pratyuvāca paśyēśvarasya sākṣādvarttī jibrāyēlnāmā dūtōhaṁ tvayā saha kathāṁ gadituṁ tubhyamimāṁ śubhavārttāṁ dātuñca prēṣitaḥ|
20 and behold, thou shalt be silent and not able to speak, till the day in which these things shall take place, because thou hast not believed my words, the which shall be fulfilled in their time.
kintu madīyaṁ vākyaṁ kālē phaliṣyati tat tvayā na pratītam ataḥ kāraṇād yāvadēva tāni na sētsyanti tāvat tvaṁ vaktuṁmaśaktō mūkō bhava|
21 And the people were awaiting Zacharias, and they wondered at his delaying in the temple.
tadānīṁ yē yē lōkāḥ sikhariyamapaikṣanta tē madhyēmandiraṁ tasya bahuvilambād āścaryyaṁ mēnirē|
22 But when he came out he could not speak to them, and they recognised that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he was making signs to them, and continued dumb.
sa bahirāgatō yadā kimapi vākyaṁ vaktumaśaktaḥ saṅkētaṁ kr̥tvā niḥśabdastasyau tadā madhyēmandiraṁ kasyacid darśanaṁ tēna prāptam iti sarvvē bubudhirē|
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were completed, he departed to his house.
anantaraṁ tasya sēvanaparyyāyē sampūrṇē sati sa nijagēhaṁ jagāma|
24 Now after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
katipayadinēṣu gatēṣu tasya bhāryyā ilīśēvā garbbhavatī babhūva
25 Thus has [the] Lord done to me in [these] days in which he looked upon [me] to take away my reproach among men.
paścāt sā pañcamāsān saṁgōpyākathayat lōkānāṁ samakṣaṁ mamāpamānaṁ khaṇḍayituṁ paramēśvarō mayi dr̥ṣṭiṁ pātayitvā karmmēdr̥śaṁ kr̥tavān|
26 But in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent of God to a city of Galilee, of which [the] name [was] Nazareth,
aparañca tasyā garbbhasya ṣaṣṭhē māsē jātē gālīlpradēśīyanāsaratpurē
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name [was] Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name [was] Mary.
dāyūdō vaṁśīyāya yūṣaphnāmnē puruṣāya yā mariyamnāmakumārī vāgdattāsīt tasyāḥ samīpaṁ jibrāyēl dūta īśvarēṇa prahitaḥ|
28 And the angel came in to her, and said, Hail, [thou] favoured one! the Lord [is] with thee: [blessed art thou amongst women].
sa gatvā jagāda hē īśvarānugr̥hītakanyē tava śubhaṁ bhūyāt prabhuḥ paramēśvarastava sahāyōsti nārīṇāṁ madhyē tvamēva dhanyā|
29 But she, [seeing] [the angel], was troubled at his word, and reasoned in her mind what this salutation might be.
tadānīṁ sā taṁ dr̥ṣṭvā tasya vākyata udvijya kīdr̥śaṁ bhāṣaṇamidam iti manasā cintayāmāsa|
30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God;
tatō dūtō'vadat hē mariyam bhayaṁ mākārṣīḥ, tvayi paramēśvarasyānugrahōsti|
31 and behold, thou shalt conceive in the womb and bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
paśya tvaṁ garbbhaṁ dhr̥tvā putraṁ prasōṣyasē tasya nāma yīśuriti kariṣyasi|
32 He shall be great, and shall be called Son of [the] Highest; and [the] Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father;
sa mahān bhaviṣyati tathā sarvvēbhyaḥ śrēṣṭhasya putra iti khyāsyati; aparaṁ prabhuḥ paramēśvarastasya piturdāyūdaḥ siṁhāsanaṁ tasmai dāsyati;
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for the ages, and of his kingdom there shall not be an end. (aiōn g165)
tathā sa yākūbō vaṁśōpari sarvvadā rājatvaṁ kariṣyati, tasya rājatvasyāntō na bhaviṣyati| (aiōn g165)
34 But Mary said to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?
tadā mariyam taṁ dūtaṁ babhāṣē nāhaṁ puruṣasaṅgaṁ karōmi tarhi kathamētat sambhaviṣyati?
35 And the angel answering said to her, [The] Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and power of [the] Highest overshadow thee, wherefore the holy thing also which shall be born shall be called Son of God.
tatō dūtō'kathayat pavitra ātmā tvāmāśrāyiṣyati tathā sarvvaśrēṣṭhasya śaktistavōpari chāyāṁ kariṣyati tatō hētōstava garbbhād yaḥ pavitrabālakō janiṣyatē sa īśvaraputra iti khyātiṁ prāpsyati|
36 And behold, Elizabeth, thy kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her that was called barren:
aparañca paśya tava jñātirilīśēvā yāṁ sarvvē bandhyāmavadan idānīṁ sā vārddhakyē santānamēkaṁ garbbhē'dhārayat tasya ṣaṣṭhamāsōbhūt|
37 for nothing shall be impossible with God.
kimapi karmma nāsādhyam īśvarasya|
38 And Mary said, Behold the bondmaid of [the] Lord; be it to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
tadā mariyam jagāda, paśya prabhērahaṁ dāsī mahyaṁ tava vākyānusārēṇa sarvvamētad ghaṭatām; ananataraṁ dūtastasyāḥ samīpāt pratasthē|
39 And Mary, rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah,
atha katipayadināt paraṁ mariyam tasmāt parvvatamayapradēśīyayihūdāyā nagaramēkaṁ śīghraṁ gatvā
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth.
sikhariyayājakasya gr̥haṁ praviśya tasya jāyām ilīśēvāṁ sambōdhyāvadat|
41 And it came to pass, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with [the] Holy Spirit,
tatō mariyamaḥ sambōdhanavākyē ilīśēvāyāḥ karṇayōḥ praviṣṭamātrē sati tasyā garbbhasthabālakō nanartta| tata ilīśēvā pavitrēṇātmanā paripūrṇā satī
42 and cried out with a loud voice and said, Blessed [art] thou amongst women, and blessed the fruit of thy womb.
prōccairgaditumārēbhē, yōṣitāṁ madhyē tvamēva dhanyā, tava garbbhasthaḥ śiśuśca dhanyaḥ|
43 And whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
tvaṁ prabhōrmātā, mama nivēśanē tvayā caraṇāvarpitau, mamādya saubhāgyamētat|
44 For behold, as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped with joy in my womb.
paśya tava vākyē mama karṇayōḥ praviṣṭamātrē sati mamōdarasthaḥ śiśurānandān nanartta|
45 And blessed [is] she that has believed, for there shall be a fulfilment of the things spoken to her from [the] Lord.
yā strī vyaśvasīt sā dhanyā, yatō hētōstāṁ prati paramēśvarōktaṁ vākyaṁ sarvvaṁ siddhaṁ bhaviṣyati|
46 And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,
tadānīṁ mariyam jagāda| dhanyavādaṁ parēśasya karōti māmakaṁ manaḥ|
47 and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour.
mamātmā tārakēśē ca samullāsaṁ pragacchati|
48 For he has looked upon the low estate of his bondmaid; for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
akarōt sa prabhu rduṣṭiṁ svadāsyā durgatiṁ prati| paśyādyārabhya māṁ dhanyāṁ vakṣyanti puruṣāḥ sadā|
49 For the Mighty One has done to me great things, and holy [is] his name;
yaḥ sarvvaśaktimān yasya nāmāpi ca pavitrakaṁ| sa ēva sumahatkarmma kr̥tavān mannimittakaṁ|
50 and his mercy [is] to generations and generations to them that fear him.
yē bibhyati janāstasmāt tēṣāṁ santānapaṁktiṣu| anukampā tadīyā ca sarvvadaiva sutiṣṭhati|
51 He has wrought strength with his arm; he has scattered haughty [ones] in the thought of their heart.
svabāhubalatastēna prākāśyata parākramaḥ| manaḥkumantraṇāsārddhaṁ vikīryyantē'bhimāninaḥ|
52 He has put down rulers from thrones, and exalted the lowly.
siṁhāsanagatāllōkān balinaścāvarōhya saḥ| padēṣūccēṣu lōkāṁstu kṣudrān saṁsthāpayatyapi|
53 He has filled the hungry with good things, and sent away the rich empty.
kṣudhitān mānavān dravyairuttamaiḥ paritarpya saḥ| sakalān dhaninō lōkān visr̥jēd riktahastakān|
54 He has helped Israel his servant, in order to remember mercy,
ibrāhīmi ca tadvaṁśē yā dayāsti sadaiva tāṁ| smr̥tvā purā pitr̥ṇāṁ nō yathā sākṣāt pratiśrutaṁ| (aiōn g165)
isrāyēlsēvakastēna tathōpakriyatē svayaṁ||
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her house.
anantaraṁ mariyam prāyēṇa māsatrayam ilīśēvayā sahōṣitvā vyāghuyya nijanivēśanaṁ yayau|
57 But the time was fulfilled for Elizabeth that she should bring forth, and she gave birth to a son.
tadanantaram ilīśēvāyāḥ prasavakāla upasthitē sati sā putraṁ prāsōṣṭa|
58 And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard that [the] Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.
tataḥ paramēśvarastasyāṁ mahānugrahaṁ kr̥tavān ētat śrutvā samīpavāsinaḥ kuṭumbāścāgatya tayā saha mumudirē|
59 And it came to pass on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called it after the name of his father, Zacharias.
tathāṣṭamē dinē tē bālakasya tvacaṁ chēttum ētya tasya pitr̥nāmānurūpaṁ tannāma sikhariya iti karttumīṣuḥ|
60 And his mother answering said, No; but he shall be called John.
kintu tasya mātākathayat tanna, nāmāsya yōhan iti karttavyam|
61 And they said to her, There is no one among thy kinsfolk who is called by this name.
tadā tē vyāharan tava vaṁśamadhyē nāmēdr̥śaṁ kasyāpi nāsti|
62 And they made signs to his father as to what he might wish it to be called.
tataḥ paraṁ tasya pitaraṁ sikhariyaṁ prati saṅkētya papracchuḥ śiśōḥ kiṁ nāma kāriṣyatē?
63 And having asked for a writing-table, he wrote saying, John is his name. And they all wondered.
tataḥ sa phalakamēkaṁ yācitvā lilēkha tasya nāma yōhan bhaviṣyati| tasmāt sarvvē āścaryyaṁ mēnirē|
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake, blessing God.
tatkṣaṇaṁ sikhariyasya jihvājāḍyē'pagatē sa mukhaṁ vyādāya spaṣṭavarṇamuccāryya īśvarasya guṇānuvādaṁ cakāra|
65 And fear came upon all who dwelt round about them; and in the whole hill-country of Judaea all these things were the subject of conversation.
tasmāccaturdiksthāḥ samīpavāsilōkā bhītā ēvamētāḥ sarvvāḥ kathā yihūdāyāḥ parvvatamayapradēśasya sarvvatra pracāritāḥ|
66 And all who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, What then will this child be? And [the] Lord's hand was with him.
tasmāt śrōtārō manaḥsu sthāpayitvā kathayāmbabhūvuḥ kīdr̥śōyaṁ bālō bhaviṣyati? atha paramēśvarastasya sahāyōbhūt|
67 And Zacharias his father was filled with [the] Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
tadā yōhanaḥ pitā sikhariyaḥ pavitrēṇātmanā paripūrṇaḥ san ētādr̥śaṁ bhaviṣyadvākyaṁ kathayāmāsa|
68 Blessed be [the] Lord the God of Israel, because he has visited and wrought redemption for his people,
isrāyēlaḥ prabhu ryastu sa dhanyaḥ paramēśvaraḥ| anugr̥hya nijāllōkān sa ēva parimōcayēt|
69 and raised up a horn of deliverance for us in the house of David his servant;
vipakṣajanahastēbhyō yathā mōcyāmahē vayaṁ| yāvajjīvañca dharmmēṇa sāralyēna ca nirbhayāḥ|
70 as he spoke by [the] mouth of his holy prophets, who have been since the world began; (aiōn g165)
sēvāmahai tamēvaikam ētatkāraṇamēva ca| svakīyaṁ supavitrañca saṁsmr̥tya niyamaṁ sadā|
71 deliverance from our enemies and out of the hand of all who hate us;
kr̥payā puruṣān pūrvvān nikaṣārthāttu naḥ pituḥ| ibrāhīmaḥ samīpē yaṁ śapathaṁ kr̥tavān purā|
72 to fulfil mercy with our fathers and remember his holy covenant,
tamēva saphalaṁ karttaṁ tathā śatrugaṇasya ca| r̥tīyākāriṇaścaiva karēbhyō rakṣaṇāya naḥ|
73 [the] oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
sr̥ṣṭēḥ prathamataḥ svīyaiḥ pavitrai rbhāvivādibhiḥ| (aiōn g165)
74 to give us, that, saved out of the hand of our enemies, we should serve him without fear
yathōktavān tathā svasya dāyūdaḥ sēvakasya tu|
75 in piety and righteousness before him all our days.
vaṁśē trātāramēkaṁ sa samutpāditavān svayam|
76 And thou, child, shalt be called [the] prophet of [the] Highest; for thou shalt go before the face of [the] Lord to make ready his ways;
atō hē bālaka tvantu sarvvēbhyaḥ śrēṣṭha ēva yaḥ| tasyaiva bhāvivādīti pravikhyātō bhaviṣyasi| asmākaṁ caraṇān kṣēmē mārgē cālayituṁ sadā| ēvaṁ dhvāntē'rthatō mr̥tyōśchāyāyāṁ yē tu mānavāḥ|
77 to give knowledge of deliverance to his people by [the] remission of their sins
upaviṣṭāstu tānēva prakāśayitumēva hi| kr̥tvā mahānukampāṁ hi yāmēva paramēśvaraḥ|
78 on account of [the] bowels of mercy of our God; wherein [the] dayspring from on high has visited us,
ūrdvvāt sūryyamudāyyaivāsmabhyaṁ prādāttu darśanaṁ| tayānukampayā svasya lōkānāṁ pāpamōcanē|
79 to shine upon them who were sitting in darkness and in [the] shadow of death, to guide our feet into [the] way of peace.
paritrāṇasya tēbhyō hi jñānaviśrāṇanāya ca| prabhō rmārgaṁ pariṣkarttuṁ tasyāgrāyī bhaviṣyasi||
80 — And the child grew and was strengthened in spirit; and he was in the deserts until the day of his shewing to Israel.
atha bālakaḥ śarīrēṇa buddhyā ca varddhitumārēbhē; aparañca sa isrāyēlō vaṁśīyalōkānāṁ samīpē yāvanna prakaṭībhūtastāstāvat prāntarē nyavasat|
