Luke 1
1 Given that many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those things that really did take place among us,
ⲁ̅ⲉⲡⲓⲇⲏ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲩϩⲓⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉ⳿ⲥϧⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲩϫⲱⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲉⲛ.
2 just as those who became eyewitnesses, from the beginning, and ministers of the Word delivered them to us,

3 it seemed good to me also, most excellent Theophilus, having taken careful note of everything from Above, to write to you with precision and in sequence,

4 so that you may know the certainty of the things in which you were instructed.

5 In the days of Herod, the king of Judea, there was a certain priest named Zacharias, of the priestly division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron and her name was Elizabeth.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲏⲣⲱⲇⲏⲥ ⳿ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲓⲟⲩⲇⲉ⳿ⲁ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲏⲃ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲍⲁⲭⲁⲣⲓⲁⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲁⲃⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓϣⲉⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲁ⳿ⲁⲣⲱⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉⲥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲗⲓⲥⲁⲃⲉⲧ.
6 They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.

7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren; and they both were well advanced in years.
ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛⲧⲟⲩ ϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲏⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲧϭⲣⲏⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲉⲗⲓⲥⲁⲃⲉⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲁⲓⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲃ̅ ⲡⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ.
8 Now it happened, as he was officiating as priest before God in the order of his division,
ⲏ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏⲃ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲧⲁⲝⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ.
9 according to the custom of the priesthood, that his lot was to burn incense, upon entering the sanctuary of the Lord;
ⲑ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ϯⲕⲁϩⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏⲃ ⲁ ⲡⲓⲱⲡ ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲉⲛ ⳿ⲥⲑⲟⲓⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡ⳪.
10 and the whole multitude of the people was praying outside at the hour of incense.
ⲓ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲏϣ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩⲧⲱⲃϩ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲥⲑⲟⲓⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ.
11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense;
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲉϥⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲥⲁⲟⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲁⲙ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲙⲁ⳿ⲛⲉⲣϣⲱⲟⲩϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲥⲑⲟⲓⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ.
12 and upon seeing him Zacharias was shaken, and a fear fell upon him.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲍⲁⲭⲁⲣⲓⲁⲥ ϥ⳿ϣⲑⲟⲣⲧⲉⲣ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲩϩⲟϯ ⲁⲥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱϥ.
13 But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, because your prayer was heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲉⲣϩⲟϯ ⲍⲁⲭⲁⲣⲓⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲏⲓ ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲧⲱⲃϩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲕ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲗⲓⲥⲁⲃⲉⲧ ⲉⲥ⳿ⲉⲙⲓⲥⲓ ⲛⲁⲕ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲕ⳿ⲉⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ.
14 And you will have joy and exultation, and many will rejoice over his birth.

15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; he must not drink either wine or strong drink; indeed, he will be filled with Holy Spirit already from his mother's womb.

16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God;

17 in fact he himself will go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of fathers to children’ and the disobedient to the mindset of the righteous, to prepare a people made ready for the Lord.”
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲓ ϧⲁϫⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲁⲥⲑⲉ ⳿ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲓⲟϯ ⳿ⲉⲛⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧⲑⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲥⲉⲃⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲓⲟϥ.
18 But Zacharias 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.”
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲍⲁⲭⲁⲣⲓⲁⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ ϯⲛⲁ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲟⲩϧⲉⲗⲗⲟ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲁ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲁⲥⲁⲓⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲥ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ.
19 So in answer the angel said to him: “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God; I was sent to speak to you and bring you this good news.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲅⲁⲃⲣⲓⲏⲗ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲉⲙⲁⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉϩⲓϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲛⲁⲕ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓ.
20 Now look, you will be silent and not able to speak until the day in which these things happen, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”
ⲕ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⲉⲕ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲕⲭⲱ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⳿ⲉⲥⲁϫⲓ ϣⲁ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲁⲓ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲁ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲛⲁϫⲱⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲟⲩⲥⲏⲟⲩ.
21 Now the people were waiting for Zacharias and wondering at his delay in the sanctuary.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ϫⲟⲩϣⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲁϫⲱϥ ⳿ⲛⲍⲁⲭⲁⲣⲓⲁⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏ ⲣⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉϫⲉ ⲁϥⲱⲥⲕ ⳿ⲛϧⲟⲩⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ.
22 But when he came out he was unable to speak to them, and they understood that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary—he kept gesturing to them while remaining mute.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲁϥ⳿ϣϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲡⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϧⲟⲩⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲛⲁϥϭⲱⲣⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϥⲟϩⲓ ϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉⲃⲟ.
23 And so, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he took off for home.

24 Well after those days his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and stayed in seclusion five months. She kept saying,

25 “So that's what the Lord has done for me in the days when He concerned Himself to take away my reproach among the people!”

26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee named Natsareth,
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲁⲃⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁϩⲋ̅ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲅⲁⲃⲣⲓⲏⲗ ⲓⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲃⲁⲕⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲉ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲍⲁⲣⲉⲑ.
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; the virgin's name was Mary.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ϩⲁ ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲑⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩⲱⲡ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲓⲱⲥⲏⲫ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲇⲁⲩⲓⲇ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲫⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛϯⲡⲁⲣⲑⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁⲙ.
28 So upon entering where she was the angel said, “Rejoice, recipient of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲭⲉⲣⲉ ⲑⲏ ⲉⲑⲙⲉϩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ Ⲡ⳪ ⲛⲉⲙⲉ.
29 But upon seeing him she was perplexed at his word and was trying to figure out what sort of greeting it might be.
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲥ⳿ϣⲑⲟⲣⲧⲉⲣ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲥⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲁϣ ⳿ⲛⲣⲏϯ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲁⲥⲡⲁⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
30 The angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, because you have found favor with God.

31 Now then, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS.

34 So Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be, since I do not know a man?”
ⲗ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁⲙ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲱⲥ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲉⲡⲓⲇⲏ ϯⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲓ ⲁⲛ.
35 In answer the angel said to her: “Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will hover over you; precisely for this reason the holy One who is to be born will be called ‘Son of God’!

36 Furthermore, your relative Elizabeth, she has actually conceived a son in her old age and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren;

38 So Mary said: “Yes, I am the Lord's slave! Let it happen to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

39 Then Mary quickly got ready and went into the hill country in those days, to a town of Judah,

41 Well it happened that as Elizabeth heard Mary's salutation the babe bounced up and down in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with Holy Spirit.

45 Blessed is she who believed, because there will be a fulfillment of the things that have been spoken to her from the Lord.”

46 So Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,

48 in that He paid attention to the humble station of His slave (f). Yes indeed, because from now on all generations will declare me to be highly favored,

50 His mercy is for generations of generations to those fearing Him.

51 He has done mighty deeds with His arm; He has dispersed the arrogant in the reasoning of their hearts.

52 He has dethroned rulers and exalted the lowly.

53 He has filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty.

54 He has taken the part of His servant Israel, in remembrance of mercy,

56 So Mary stayed with her about three months, and returned to her house.

57 Now the time for Elizabeth to give birth was completed and she bore a son.

58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had used His great mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.

59 So it was, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and they started calling him by the name of his father, Zacharias.
ⲛ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁϩⲏ̅ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩⲥⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲁⲗⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲓⲱⲧ ⲍⲁ ⲭⲁⲣⲓⲁⲥ.
60 His mother reacted and said, “Absolutely not; he shall be called John!”

61 So they said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”

62 So they started motioning to his father, as to what he would have him called.

63 Asking for a writing tablet he wrote this: “His name is to be John!” They all marveled.

64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue freed and he started to speak, blessing God.

65 (Well a fear came on all who lived around them; and all these sayings kept being talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.

66 All who heard kept them in their hearts saying, “What then will this child be?” And the hand of the Lord was with him.)

67 Now his father Zacharias was filled with Holy Spirit and prophesied saying:
