Luke 1
1 Forasmuch as many haue taken in hand to set foorth the storie of those things, whereof we are fully persuaded,
επειδηπερ πολλοι επεχειρησαν αναταξασθαι διηγησιν περι των πεπληροφορημενων εν ημιν πραγματων
2 As they haue deliuered them vnto vs, which from the beginning saw them their selues, and were ministers of ye word,
καθωσ παρεδοσαν ημιν οι απ αρχησ αυτοπται και υπηρεται γενομενοι του λογου
3 It seemed good also to me (most noble Theophilus) assoone as I had searched out perfectly all things from the beginning, to write vnto thee thereof from point to point,
εδοξεν καμοι παρηκολουθηκοτι ανωθεν πασιν ακριβωσ καθεξησ σοι γραψαι κρατιστε θεοφιλε
4 That thou mightest acknowledge the certaintie of those things, whereof thou hast bene instructed.
ινα επιγνωσ περι ων κατηχηθησ λογων την ασφαλειαν
5 In the time of Herod King of Iudea, there was a certaine Priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabet.
εγενετο εν ταισ ημεραισ ηρωδου του βασιλεωσ τησ ιουδαιασ ιερευσ τισ ονοματι ζαχαριασ εξ εφημεριασ αβια και η γυνη αυτου εκ των θυγατερων ααρων και το ονομα αυτησ ελισαβετ
6 Both were iust before God, and walked in all the commandements and ordinances of the Lord, without reproofe.
ησαν δε δικαιοι αμφοτεροι ενωπιον του θεου πορευομενοι εν πασαισ ταισ εντολαισ και δικαιωμασιν του κυριου αμεμπτοι
7 And they had no childe, because that Elisabet was barren: and both were well stricken in age.
και ουκ ην αυτοισ τεκνον καθοτι η ελισαβετ ην στειρα και αμφοτεροι προβεβηκοτεσ εν ταισ ημεραισ αυτων ησαν
8 And it came to passe, as he executed the Priestes office before God, as his course came in order,
εγενετο δε εν τω ιερατευειν αυτον εν τη ταξει τησ εφημεριασ αυτου εναντι του θεου
9 According to the custome of the Priests office, his lot was to burne incense, when he went into the Temple of the Lord.
κατα το εθοσ τησ ιερατειασ ελαχεν του θυμιασαι εισελθων εισ τον ναον του κυριου
10 And the whole multitude of the people were without in prayer, while the incense was burning.
και παν το πληθοσ ην του λαου προσευχομενον εξω τη ωρα του θυμιαματοσ
11 Then appeared vnto him an Angel of the Lord standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
ωφθη δε αυτω αγγελοσ κυριου εστωσ εκ δεξιων του θυσιαστηριου του θυμιαματοσ
12 And when Zacharias sawe him, he was troubled, and feare fell vpon him.
και εταραχθη ζαχαριασ ιδων και φοβοσ επεπεσεν επ αυτον
13 But the Angel saide vnto him, Feare not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard, and thy wise Elisabet shall beare thee a sonne, and thou shalt call his name Iohn.
ειπεν δε προσ αυτον ο αγγελοσ μη φοβου ζαχαρια διοτι εισηκουσθη η δεησισ σου και η γυνη σου ελισαβετ γεννησει υιον σοι και καλεσεισ το ονομα αυτου ιωαννην
14 And thou shalt haue ioy and gladnes, and many shall reioyce at his birth.
και εσται χαρα σοι και αγαλλιασισ και πολλοι επι τη γεννησει αυτου χαρησονται
15 For he shalbe great in the sight of the Lord, and shall neither drinke wine, nor strong drinke: and he shalbe filled with the holy Ghost, euen from his mothers wombe.
εσται γαρ μεγασ ενωπιον του κυριου και οινον και σικερα ου μη πιη και πνευματοσ αγιου πλησθησεται ετι εκ κοιλιασ μητροσ αυτου
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turne to their Lord God.
και πολλουσ των υιων ισραηλ επιστρεψει επι κυριον τον θεον αυτων
17 For he shall goe before him in the spirite and power of Elias, to turne the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisedome of the iust men, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
και αυτοσ προελευσεται ενωπιον αυτου εν πνευματι και δυναμει ηλιου επιστρεψαι καρδιασ πατερων επι τεκνα και απειθεισ εν φρονησει δικαιων ετοιμασαι κυριω λαον κατεσκευασμενον
18 Then Zacharias said vnto ye Angel, Whereby shall I knowe this? for I am an olde man, and my wife is of a great age.
και ειπεν ζαχαριασ προσ τον αγγελον κατα τι γνωσομαι τουτο εγω γαρ ειμι πρεσβυτησ και η γυνη μου προβεβηκυια εν ταισ ημεραισ αυτησ
19 And the Angell answered, and sayde vnto him, I am Gabriel that stand in the presence of God, and am sent to speake vnto thee, and to shew thee these good tidings.
και αποκριθεισ ο αγγελοσ ειπεν αυτω εγω ειμι γαβριηλ ο παρεστηκωσ ενωπιον του θεου και απεσταλην λαλησαι προσ σε και ευαγγελισασθαι σοι ταυτα
20 And beholde, thou shalt be domme, and not be able to speake, vntill the day that these things be done, because thou beleeuedst not my words, which shalbe fulfilled in their season.
και ιδου εση σιωπων και μη δυναμενοσ λαλησαι αχρι ησ ημερασ γενηται ταυτα ανθ ων ουκ επιστευσασ τοισ λογοισ μου οιτινεσ πληρωθησονται εισ τον καιρον αυτων
21 Now the people waited for Zacharias, and marueiled that he taried so long in the Temple.
και ην ο λαοσ προσδοκων τον ζαχαριαν και εθαυμαζον εν τω χρονιζειν αυτον εν τω ναω
22 And when hee came out, hee coulde not speake vnto them: then they perceiued that hee had seene a vision in the Temple: For he made signes vnto them, and remained domme.
εξελθων δε ουκ ηδυνατο λαλησαι αυτοισ και επεγνωσαν οτι οπτασιαν εωρακεν εν τω ναω και αυτοσ ην διανευων αυτοισ και διεμενεν κωφοσ
23 And it came to passe, when the daies of his office were fulfilled, that he departed to his owne house.
και εγενετο ωσ επλησθησαν αι ημεραι τησ λειτουργιασ αυτου απηλθεν εισ τον οικον αυτου
24 And after those daies, his wife Elisabet conceiued, and hid her selfe fiue moneths, saying,
μετα δε ταυτασ τασ ημερασ συνελαβεν ελισαβετ η γυνη αυτου και περιεκρυβεν εαυτην μηνασ πεντε λεγουσα
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me, in the daies wherein he looked on me, to take from me my rebuke among men.
οτι ουτωσ μοι πεποιηκεν ο κυριοσ εν ημεραισ αισ επειδεν αφελειν το ονειδοσ μου εν ανθρωποισ
26 And in the sixth moneth, the Angell Gabriel was sent from God vnto a citie of Galile, named Nazareth,
εν δε τω μηνι τω εκτω απεσταλη ο αγγελοσ γαβριηλ υπο του θεου εισ πολιν τησ γαλιλαιασ η ονομα ναζαρετ
27 To a virgin affianced to a man whose name was Ioseph, of the house of Dauid, and the virgins name was Marie.
προσ παρθενον μεμνηστευμενην ανδρι ω ονομα ιωσηφ εξ οικου δαυιδ και το ονομα τησ παρθενου μαριαμ
28 And the Angel went in vnto her, and said, Haile thou that art freely beloued: the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
και εισελθων ο αγγελοσ προσ αυτην ειπεν χαιρε κεχαριτωμενη ο κυριοσ μετα σου ευλογημενη συ εν γυναιξιν
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and thought what maner of salutation that should be.
η δε ιδουσα διεταραχθη επι τω λογω αυτου και διελογιζετο ποταποσ ειη ο ασπασμοσ ουτοσ
30 Then the Angel saide vnto her, Feare not, Marie: for thou hast found fauour with God.
και ειπεν ο αγγελοσ αυτη μη φοβου μαριαμ ευρεσ γαρ χαριν παρα τω θεω
31 For loe, thou shalt conceiue in thy wobe, and beare a sonne, and shalt call his name Iesus.
και ιδου συλληψη εν γαστρι και τεξη υιον και καλεσεισ το ονομα αυτου ιησουν
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Sonne of the most High, and the Lord God shall giue vnto him the throne of his father Dauid.
ουτοσ εσται μεγασ και υιοσ υψιστου κληθησεται και δωσει αυτω κυριοσ ο θεοσ τον θρονον δαυιδ του πατροσ αυτου
33 And hee shall reigne ouer the house of Iacob for euer, and of his kingdome shall bee none ende. (aiōn g165)
και βασιλευσει επι τον οικον ιακωβ εισ τουσ αιωνασ και τησ βασιλειασ αυτου ουκ εσται τελοσ (aiōn g165)
34 Then sayde Marie vnto the Angel, How shall this be, seeing I knowe not man?
ειπεν δε μαριαμ προσ τον αγγελον πωσ εσται τουτο επει ανδρα ου γινωσκω
35 And the Angel answered, and said vnto her, The holy Ghost shall come vpon thee, and the power of the most High shall ouershadowe thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall bee borne of thee, shall be called the Sonne of God.
και αποκριθεισ ο αγγελοσ ειπεν αυτη πνευμα αγιον επελευσεται επι σε και δυναμισ υψιστου επισκιασει σοι διο και το γεννωμενον αγιον κληθησεται υιοσ θεου
36 And behold, thy cousin Elisabet, she hath also conceiued a sonne in her olde age: and this is her sixt moneth, which was called barren.
και ιδου ελισαβετ η συγγενησ σου και αυτη συνειληφυια υιον εν γηρει αυτησ και ουτοσ μην εκτοσ εστιν αυτη τη καλουμενη στειρα
37 For with God shall nothing be vnpossible.
οτι ουκ αδυνατησει παρα τω θεω παν ρημα
38 Then Marie said, Behold the seruant of the Lord: be it vnto me according to thy woorde. So the Angel departed from her.
ειπεν δε μαριαμ ιδου η δουλη κυριου γενοιτο μοι κατα το ρημα σου και απηλθεν απ αυτησ ο αγγελοσ
39 And Marie arose in those daies, and went into ye hil countrey with hast to a citie of Iuda,
αναστασα δε μαριαμ εν ταισ ημεραισ ταυταισ επορευθη εισ την ορεινην μετα σπουδησ εισ πολιν ιουδα
40 And entred into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabet.
και εισηλθεν εισ τον οικον ζαχαριου και ησπασατο την ελισαβετ
41 And it came to passe, as Elisabet heard the salutation of Marie, the babe sprang in her bellie, and Elisabet was filled with the holy Ghost.
και εγενετο ωσ ηκουσεν η ελισαβετ τον ασπασμον τησ μαριασ εσκιρτησεν το βρεφοσ εν τη κοιλια αυτησ και επλησθη πνευματοσ αγιου η ελισαβετ
42 And she cried with a loud voice, and saide, Blessed art thou among women, because the fruit of thy wombe is blessed.
και ανεφωνησεν φωνη μεγαλη και ειπεν ευλογημενη συ εν γυναιξιν και ευλογημενοσ ο καρποσ τησ κοιλιασ σου
43 And whence commeth this to mee, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
και ποθεν μοι τουτο ινα ελθη η μητηρ του κυριου μου προσ με
44 For loe, assoone as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine eares, the babe sprang in my bellie for ioye,
ιδου γαρ ωσ εγενετο η φωνη του ασπασμου σου εισ τα ωτα μου εσκιρτησεν το βρεφοσ εν αγαλλιασει εν τη κοιλια μου
45 And blessed is shee that beleeued: for those things shall be perfourmed, which were tolde her from the Lord.
και μακαρια η πιστευσασα οτι εσται τελειωσισ τοισ λελαλημενοισ αυτη παρα κυριου
46 Then Marie sayde, My soule magnifieth the Lord,
και ειπεν μαριαμ μεγαλυνει η ψυχη μου τον κυριον
47 And my spirite reioyceth in God my Sauiour.
και ηγαλλιασεν το πνευμα μου επι τω θεω τω σωτηρι μου
48 For hee hath looked on the poore degree of his seruaunt: for beholde, from henceforth shall all ages call me blessed,
οτι επεβλεψεν επι την ταπεινωσιν τησ δουλησ αυτου ιδου γαρ απο του νυν μακαριουσιν με πασαι αι γενεαι
49 Because hee that is mightie, hath done for me great things, and holy is his Name.
οτι εποιησεν μοι μεγαλεια ο δυνατοσ και αγιον το ονομα αυτου
50 And his mercie is from generation to generation on them that feare him.
και το ελεοσ αυτου εισ γενεασ γενεων τοισ φοβουμενοισ αυτον
51 Hee hath shewed strength with his arme: hee hath scattered the proude in the imagination of their hearts.
εποιησεν κρατοσ εν βραχιονι αυτου διεσκορπισεν υπερηφανουσ διανοια καρδιασ αυτων
52 Hee hath put downe the mighty from their seates, and exalted them of lowe degree.
καθειλεν δυναστασ απο θρονων και υψωσεν ταπεινουσ
53 Hee hath filled the hungrie with good things, and sent away the rich emptie.
πεινωντασ ενεπλησεν αγαθων και πλουτουντασ εξαπεστειλεν κενουσ
54 Hee hath vpholden Israel his seruaunt to be mindefull of his mercie
αντελαβετο ισραηλ παιδοσ αυτου μνησθηναι ελεουσ
καθωσ ελαλησεν προσ τουσ πατερασ ημων τω αβρααμ και τω σπερματι αυτου εισ τον αιωνα (aiōn g165)
56 And Marie abode with her about three moneths: after, shee returned to her owne house.
εμεινεν δε μαριαμ συν αυτη ωσει μηνασ τρεισ και υπεστρεψεν εισ τον οικον αυτησ
57 Nowe Elisabets time was fulfilled, that shee should be deliuered, and shee brought foorth a sonne.
τη δε ελισαβετ επλησθη ο χρονοσ του τεκειν αυτην και εγεννησεν υιον
58 And her neighbours, and cousins heard tell howe the Lord had shewed his great mercie vpon her, and they reioyced with her.
και ηκουσαν οι περιοικοι και οι συγγενεισ αυτησ οτι εμεγαλυνεν κυριοσ το ελεοσ αυτου μετ αυτησ και συνεχαιρον αυτη
59 And it was so that on the eight day they came to circumcise the babe, and called him Zacharias after the name of his father.
και εγενετο εν τη ογδοη ημερα ηλθον περιτεμειν το παιδιον και εκαλουν αυτο επι τω ονοματι του πατροσ αυτου ζαχαριαν
60 But his mother answered, and saide, Not so, but he shalbe called Iohn.
και αποκριθεισα η μητηρ αυτου ειπεν ουχι αλλα κληθησεται ιωαννησ
61 And they saide vnto her, There is none of thy kindred, that is named with this name.
και ειπον προσ αυτην οτι ουδεισ εστιν εν τη συγγενεια σου οσ καλειται τω ονοματι τουτω
62 Then they made signes to his father, howe he would haue him called.
ενενευον δε τω πατρι αυτου το τι αν θελοι καλεισθαι αυτον
63 So hee asked for writing tables, and wrote, saying, His name is Iohn, and they marueiled all.
και αιτησασ πινακιδιον εγραψεν λεγων ιωαννησ εστιν το ονομα αυτου και εθαυμασαν παντεσ
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake and praised God.
ανεωχθη δε το στομα αυτου παραχρημα και η γλωσσα αυτου και ελαλει ευλογων τον θεον
65 Then feare came on all them that dwelt neere vnto them, and all these woordes were noised abroade throughout all the hill countrey of Iudea.
και εγενετο επι παντασ φοβοσ τουσ περιοικουντασ αυτουσ και εν ολη τη ορεινη τησ ιουδαιασ διελαλειτο παντα τα ρηματα ταυτα
66 And al they that heard them, laid them vp in their hearts, saying, What maner childe shall this be! and the hand of the Lord was with him.
και εθεντο παντεσ οι ακουσαντεσ εν τη καρδια αυτων λεγοντεσ τι αρα το παιδιον τουτο εσται και χειρ κυριου ην μετ αυτου
67 Then his father Zacharias was filled with the holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
και ζαχαριασ ο πατηρ αυτου επλησθη πνευματοσ αγιου και προεφητευσεν λεγων
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, because he hath visited and redeemed his people,
ευλογητοσ κυριοσ ο θεοσ του ισραηλ οτι επεσκεψατο και εποιησεν λυτρωσιν τω λαω αυτου
69 And hath raised vp the horne of saluation vnto vs, in the house of his seruant Dauid,
και ηγειρεν κερασ σωτηριασ ημιν εν τω οικω δαυιδ του παιδοσ αυτου
70 As he spake by ye mouth of his holy Prophets, which were since the world began, saying, (aiōn g165)
καθωσ ελαλησεν δια στοματοσ των αγιων των απ αιωνοσ προφητων αυτου (aiōn g165)
71 That he would sende vs deliuerance from our enemies, and from the hands of all that hate vs,
σωτηριαν εξ εχθρων ημων και εκ χειροσ παντων των μισουντων ημασ
72 That he might shewe mercie towards our fathers, and remember his holy couenant,
ποιησαι ελεοσ μετα των πατερων ημων και μνησθηναι διαθηκησ αγιασ αυτου
73 And the othe which he sware to our father Abraham.
ορκον ον ωμοσεν προσ αβρααμ τον πατερα ημων του δουναι ημιν
74 Which was, that he would graunt vnto vs, that we being deliuered out of the handes of our enemies, should serue him without feare,
αφοβωσ εκ χειροσ των εχθρων ημων ρυσθεντασ λατρευειν αυτω
75 All the daies of our life, in holinesse and righteousnesse before him.
εν οσιοτητι και δικαιοσυνη ενωπιον αυτου πασασ τασ ημερασ τησ ζωησ ημων
76 And thou, babe, shalt be called the Prophet of the most High: for thou shalt goe before the face of the Lord, to prepare his waies,
και συ παιδιον προφητησ υψιστου κληθηση προπορευση γαρ προ προσωπου κυριου ετοιμασαι οδουσ αυτου
77 And to giue knowledge of saluation vnto his people, by the remission of their sinnes,
του δουναι γνωσιν σωτηριασ τω λαω αυτου εν αφεσει αμαρτιων αυτων
78 Through ye tender mercy of our God, wherby the day spring from an hie hath visited vs,
δια σπλαγχνα ελεουσ θεου ημων εν οισ επεσκεψατο ημασ ανατολη εξ υψουσ
79 To giue light to them that sit in darknes, and in the shadow of death, and to guide our feete into the way of peace.
επιφαναι τοισ εν σκοτει και σκια θανατου καθημενοισ του κατευθυναι τουσ ποδασ ημων εισ οδον ειρηνησ
80 And the childe grewe, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the wildernesse, til the day came that he should shewe him selfe vnto Israel.
το δε παιδιον ηυξανεν και εκραταιουτο πνευματι και ην εν ταισ ερημοισ εωσ ημερασ αναδειξεωσ αυτου προσ τον ισραηλ
