Luke 1
1 Forasmuch as many haue taken in hand to set foorth the storie of those things, whereof we are fully persuaded,
prathamato ye sākṣiṇo vākyapracārakāścāsan te'smākaṁ madhye yadyat sapramāṇaṁ vākyamarpayanti sma
2 As they haue deliuered them vnto vs, which from the beginning saw them their selues, and were ministers of ye word,
tadanusārato'nyepi bahavastadvṛttāntaṁ racayituṁ pravṛttāḥ|
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,
ataeva he mahāmahimathiyaphil tvaṁ yā yāḥ kathā aśikṣyathāstāsāṁ dṛḍhapramāṇāni yathā prāpnoṣi
4 That thou mightest acknowledge the certaintie of those things, whereof thou hast bene instructed.
tadarthaṁ prathamamārabhya tāni sarvvāṇi jñātvāhamapi anukramāt sarvvavṛttāntān tubhyaṁ lekhituṁ matimakārṣam|
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.
yihūdādeśīyaherodnāmake rājatvaṁ kurvvati abīyayājakasya paryyāyādhikārī sikhariyanāmaka eko yājako hāroṇavaṁśodbhavā ilīśevākhyā
6 Both were iust before God, and walked in all the commandements and ordinances of the Lord, without reproofe.
tasya jāyā dvāvimau nirdoṣau prabhoḥ sarvvājñā vyavasthāśca saṁmanya īśvaradṛṣṭau dhārmmikāvāstām|
7 And they had no childe, because that Elisabet was barren: and both were well stricken in age.
tayoḥ santāna ekopi nāsīt, yata ilīśevā bandhyā tau dvāveva vṛddhāvabhavatām|
8 And it came to passe, as he executed the Priestes office before God, as his course came in order,
yadā svaparyyānukrameṇa sikhariya īśvāsya samakṣaṁ yājakīyaṁ karmma karoti
9 According to the custome of the Priests office, his lot was to burne incense, when he went into the Temple of the Lord.
tadā yajñasya dinaparipāyyā parameśvarasya mandire praveśakāle dhūpajvālanaṁ karmma tasya karaṇīyamāsīt|
10 And the whole multitude of the people were without in prayer, while the incense was burning.
taddhūpajvālanakāle lokanivahe prārthanāṁ kartuṁ bahistiṣṭhati
11 Then appeared vnto him an Angel of the Lord standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
sati sikhariyo yasyāṁ vedyāṁ dhūpaṁ jvālayati taddakṣiṇapārśve parameśvarasya dūta eka upasthito darśanaṁ dadau|
12 And when Zacharias sawe him, he was troubled, and feare fell vpon him.
taṁ dṛṣṭvā sikhariya udvivije śaśaṅke ca|
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.
tadā sa dūtastaṁ babhāṣe he sikhariya mā bhaistava prārthanā grāhyā jātā tava bhāryyā ilīśevā putraṁ prasoṣyate tasya nāma yohan iti kariṣyasi|
14 And thou shalt haue ioy and gladnes, and many shall reioyce at his birth.
kiñca tvaṁ sānandaḥ saharṣaśca bhaviṣyasi tasya janmani bahava ānandiṣyanti ca|
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.
yato hetoḥ sa parameśvarasya gocare mahān bhaviṣyati tathā drākṣārasaṁ surāṁ vā kimapi na pāsyati, aparaṁ janmārabhya pavitreṇātmanā paripūrṇaḥ
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turne to their Lord God.
san isrāyelvaṁśīyān anekān prabhoḥ parameśvarasya mārgamāneṣyati|
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.
santānān prati pitṛṇāṁ manāṁsi dharmmajñānaṁ pratyanājñāgrāhiṇaśca parāvarttayituṁ, prabhoḥ parameśvarasya sevārtham ekāṁ sajjitajātiṁ vidhātuñca sa eliyarūpātmaśaktiprāptastasyāgre gamiṣyati|
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.
tadā sikhariyo dūtamavādīt kathametad vetsyāmi? yatohaṁ vṛddho mama bhāryyā ca vṛddhā|
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.
tato dūtaḥ pratyuvāca paśyeśvarasya sākṣādvarttī jibrāyelnāmā dūtohaṁ tvayā saha kathāṁ gadituṁ tubhyamimāṁ śubhavārttāṁ dātuñca preṣitaḥ|
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.
kintu madīyaṁ vākyaṁ kāle phaliṣyati tat tvayā na pratītam ataḥ kāraṇād yāvadeva tāni na setsyanti tāvat tvaṁ vaktuṁmaśakto mūko bhava|
21 Now the people waited for Zacharias, and marueiled that he taried so long in the Temple.
tadānīṁ ye ye lokāḥ sikhariyamapaikṣanta te madhyemandiraṁ tasya bahuvilambād āścaryyaṁ menire|
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.
sa bahirāgato yadā kimapi vākyaṁ vaktumaśaktaḥ saṅketaṁ kṛtvā niḥśabdastasyau tadā madhyemandiraṁ kasyacid darśanaṁ tena prāptam iti sarvve bubudhire|
23 And it came to passe, when the daies of his office were fulfilled, that he departed to his owne house.
anantaraṁ tasya sevanaparyyāye sampūrṇe sati sa nijagehaṁ jagāma|
24 And after those daies, his wife Elisabet conceiued, and hid her selfe fiue moneths, saying,
katipayadineṣu gateṣu tasya bhāryyā ilīśevā garbbhavatī babhūva
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me, in the daies wherein he looked on me, to take from me my rebuke among men.
paścāt sā pañcamāsān saṁgopyākathayat lokānāṁ samakṣaṁ mamāpamānaṁ khaṇḍayituṁ parameśvaro mayi dṛṣṭiṁ pātayitvā karmmedṛśaṁ kṛtavān|
26 And in the sixth moneth, the Angell Gabriel was sent from God vnto a citie of Galile, named Nazareth,
aparañca tasyā garbbhasya ṣaṣṭhe māse jāte gālīlpradeśīyanāsaratpure
27 To a virgin affianced to a man whose name was Ioseph, of the house of Dauid, and the virgins name was Marie.
dāyūdo vaṁśīyāya yūṣaphnāmne puruṣāya yā mariyamnāmakumārī vāgdattāsīt tasyāḥ samīpaṁ jibrāyel dūta īśvareṇa prahitaḥ|
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.
sa gatvā jagāda he īśvarānugṛhītakanye tava śubhaṁ bhūyāt prabhuḥ parameśvarastava sahāyosti nārīṇāṁ madhye tvameva dhanyā|
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and thought what maner of salutation that should be.
tadānīṁ sā taṁ dṛṣṭvā tasya vākyata udvijya kīdṛśaṁ bhāṣaṇamidam iti manasā cintayāmāsa|
30 Then the Angel saide vnto her, Feare not, Marie: for thou hast found fauour with God.
tato dūto'vadat he mariyam bhayaṁ mākārṣīḥ, tvayi parameśvarasyānugrahosti|
31 For loe, thou shalt conceiue in thy wobe, and beare a sonne, and shalt call his name Iesus.
paśya tvaṁ garbbhaṁ dhṛtvā putraṁ prasoṣyase tasya nāma yīśuriti kariṣyasi|
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.
sa mahān bhaviṣyati tathā sarvvebhyaḥ śreṣṭhasya putra iti khyāsyati; aparaṁ prabhuḥ parameśvarastasya piturdāyūdaḥ siṁhāsanaṁ tasmai dāsyati;
33 And hee shall reigne ouer the house of Iacob for euer, and of his kingdome shall bee none ende. (aiōn g165)
tathā sa yākūbo vaṁśopari sarvvadā rājatvaṁ kariṣyati, tasya rājatvasyānto na bhaviṣyati| (aiōn g165)
34 Then sayde Marie vnto the Angel, How shall this be, seeing I knowe not man?
tadā mariyam taṁ dūtaṁ babhāṣe nāhaṁ puruṣasaṅgaṁ karomi tarhi kathametat sambhaviṣyati?
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.
tato dūto'kathayat pavitra ātmā tvāmāśrāyiṣyati tathā sarvvaśreṣṭhasya śaktistavopari chāyāṁ kariṣyati tato hetostava garbbhād yaḥ pavitrabālako janiṣyate sa īśvaraputra iti khyātiṁ prāpsyati|
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.
aparañca paśya tava jñātirilīśevā yāṁ sarvve bandhyāmavadan idānīṁ sā vārddhakye santānamekaṁ garbbhe'dhārayat tasya ṣaṣṭhamāsobhūt|
37 For with God shall nothing be vnpossible.
kimapi karmma nāsādhyam īśvarasya|
38 Then Marie said, Behold the seruant of the Lord: be it vnto me according to thy woorde. So the Angel departed from her.
tadā mariyam jagāda, paśya prabherahaṁ dāsī mahyaṁ tava vākyānusāreṇa sarvvametad ghaṭatām; ananataraṁ dūtastasyāḥ samīpāt pratasthe|
39 And Marie arose in those daies, and went into ye hil countrey with hast to a citie of Iuda,
atha katipayadināt paraṁ mariyam tasmāt parvvatamayapradeśīyayihūdāyā nagaramekaṁ śīghraṁ gatvā
40 And entred into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabet.
sikhariyayājakasya gṛhaṁ praviśya tasya jāyām ilīśevāṁ sambodhyāvadat|
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.
tato mariyamaḥ sambodhanavākye ilīśevāyāḥ karṇayoḥ praviṣṭamātre sati tasyā garbbhasthabālako nanartta| tata ilīśevā pavitreṇātmanā paripūrṇā satī
42 And she cried with a loud voice, and saide, Blessed art thou among women, because the fruit of thy wombe is blessed.
proccairgaditumārebhe, yoṣitāṁ madhye tvameva dhanyā, tava garbbhasthaḥ śiśuśca dhanyaḥ|
43 And whence commeth this to mee, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
tvaṁ prabhormātā, mama niveśane tvayā caraṇāvarpitau, mamādya saubhāgyametat|
44 For loe, assoone as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine eares, the babe sprang in my bellie for ioye,
paśya tava vākye mama karṇayoḥ praviṣṭamātre sati mamodarasthaḥ śiśurānandān nanartta|
45 And blessed is shee that beleeued: for those things shall be perfourmed, which were tolde her from the Lord.
yā strī vyaśvasīt sā dhanyā, yato hetostāṁ prati parameśvaroktaṁ vākyaṁ sarvvaṁ siddhaṁ bhaviṣyati|
46 Then Marie sayde, My soule magnifieth the Lord,
tadānīṁ mariyam jagāda| dhanyavādaṁ pareśasya karoti māmakaṁ manaḥ|
47 And my spirite reioyceth in God my Sauiour.
mamātmā tārakeśe ca samullāsaṁ pragacchati|
48 For hee hath looked on the poore degree of his seruaunt: for beholde, from henceforth shall all ages call me blessed,
akarot sa prabhu rduṣṭiṁ svadāsyā durgatiṁ prati| paśyādyārabhya māṁ dhanyāṁ vakṣyanti puruṣāḥ sadā|
49 Because hee that is mightie, hath done for me great things, and holy is his Name.
yaḥ sarvvaśaktimān yasya nāmāpi ca pavitrakaṁ| sa eva sumahatkarmma kṛtavān mannimittakaṁ|
50 And his mercie is from generation to generation on them that feare him.
ye bibhyati janāstasmāt teṣāṁ santānapaṁktiṣu| anukampā tadīyā ca sarvvadaiva sutiṣṭhati|
51 Hee hath shewed strength with his arme: hee hath scattered the proude in the imagination of their hearts.
svabāhubalatastena prākāśyata parākramaḥ| manaḥkumantraṇāsārddhaṁ vikīryyante'bhimāninaḥ|
52 Hee hath put downe the mighty from their seates, and exalted them of lowe degree.
siṁhāsanagatāllokān balinaścāvarohya saḥ| padeṣūcceṣu lokāṁstu kṣudrān saṁsthāpayatyapi|
53 Hee hath filled the hungrie with good things, and sent away the rich emptie.
kṣudhitān mānavān dravyairuttamaiḥ paritarpya saḥ| sakalān dhanino lokān visṛjed riktahastakān|
54 Hee hath vpholden Israel his seruaunt to be mindefull of his mercie
ibrāhīmi ca tadvaṁśe yā dayāsti sadaiva tāṁ| smṛtvā purā pitṛṇāṁ no yathā sākṣāt pratiśrutaṁ| (aiōn g165)
isrāyelsevakastena tathopakriyate svayaṁ||
56 And Marie abode with her about three moneths: after, shee returned to her owne house.
anantaraṁ mariyam prāyeṇa māsatrayam ilīśevayā sahoṣitvā vyāghuyya nijaniveśanaṁ yayau|
57 Nowe Elisabets time was fulfilled, that shee should be deliuered, and shee brought foorth a sonne.
tadanantaram ilīśevāyāḥ prasavakāla upasthite sati sā putraṁ prāsoṣṭa|
58 And her neighbours, and cousins heard tell howe the Lord had shewed his great mercie vpon her, and they reioyced with her.
tataḥ parameśvarastasyāṁ mahānugrahaṁ kṛtavān etat śrutvā samīpavāsinaḥ kuṭumbāścāgatya tayā saha mumudire|
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.
tathāṣṭame dine te bālakasya tvacaṁ chettum etya tasya pitṛnāmānurūpaṁ tannāma sikhariya iti karttumīṣuḥ|
60 But his mother answered, and saide, Not so, but he shalbe called Iohn.
kintu tasya mātākathayat tanna, nāmāsya yohan iti karttavyam|
61 And they saide vnto her, There is none of thy kindred, that is named with this name.
tadā te vyāharan tava vaṁśamadhye nāmedṛśaṁ kasyāpi nāsti|
62 Then they made signes to his father, howe he would haue him called.
tataḥ paraṁ tasya pitaraṁ sikhariyaṁ prati saṅketya papracchuḥ śiśoḥ kiṁ nāma kāriṣyate?
63 So hee asked for writing tables, and wrote, saying, His name is Iohn, and they marueiled all.
tataḥ sa phalakamekaṁ yācitvā lilekha tasya nāma yohan bhaviṣyati| tasmāt sarvve āścaryyaṁ menire|
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake and praised God.
tatkṣaṇaṁ sikhariyasya jihvājāḍye'pagate sa mukhaṁ vyādāya spaṣṭavarṇamuccāryya īśvarasya guṇānuvādaṁ cakāra|
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.
tasmāccaturdiksthāḥ samīpavāsilokā bhītā evametāḥ sarvvāḥ kathā yihūdāyāḥ parvvatamayapradeśasya sarvvatra pracāritāḥ|
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.
tasmāt śrotāro manaḥsu sthāpayitvā kathayāmbabhūvuḥ kīdṛśoyaṁ bālo bhaviṣyati? atha parameśvarastasya sahāyobhūt|
67 Then his father Zacharias was filled with the holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
tadā yohanaḥ pitā sikhariyaḥ pavitreṇātmanā paripūrṇaḥ san etādṛśaṁ bhaviṣyadvākyaṁ kathayāmāsa|
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, because he hath visited and redeemed his people,
isrāyelaḥ prabhu ryastu sa dhanyaḥ parameśvaraḥ| anugṛhya nijāllokān sa eva parimocayet|
69 And hath raised vp the horne of saluation vnto vs, in the house of his seruant Dauid,
vipakṣajanahastebhyo yathā mocyāmahe vayaṁ| yāvajjīvañca dharmmeṇa sāralyena ca nirbhayāḥ|
70 As he spake by ye mouth of his holy Prophets, which were since the world began, saying, (aiōn g165)
sevāmahai tamevaikam etatkāraṇameva ca| svakīyaṁ supavitrañca saṁsmṛtya niyamaṁ sadā|
71 That he would sende vs deliuerance from our enemies, and from the hands of all that hate vs,
kṛpayā puruṣān pūrvvān nikaṣārthāttu naḥ pituḥ| ibrāhīmaḥ samīpe yaṁ śapathaṁ kṛtavān purā|
72 That he might shewe mercie towards our fathers, and remember his holy couenant,
tameva saphalaṁ karttaṁ tathā śatrugaṇasya ca| ṛtīyākāriṇaścaiva karebhyo rakṣaṇāya naḥ|
73 And the othe which he sware to our father Abraham.
sṛṣṭeḥ prathamataḥ svīyaiḥ pavitrai rbhāvivādibhiḥ| (aiōn g165)
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,
yathoktavān tathā svasya dāyūdaḥ sevakasya tu|
75 All the daies of our life, in holinesse and righteousnesse before him.
vaṁśe trātāramekaṁ sa samutpāditavān svayam|
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,
ato he bālaka tvantu sarvvebhyaḥ śreṣṭha eva yaḥ| tasyaiva bhāvivādīti pravikhyāto bhaviṣyasi| asmākaṁ caraṇān kṣeme mārge cālayituṁ sadā| evaṁ dhvānte'rthato mṛtyośchāyāyāṁ ye tu mānavāḥ|
77 And to giue knowledge of saluation vnto his people, by the remission of their sinnes,
upaviṣṭāstu tāneva prakāśayitumeva hi| kṛtvā mahānukampāṁ hi yāmeva parameśvaraḥ|
78 Through ye tender mercy of our God, wherby the day spring from an hie hath visited vs,
ūrdvvāt sūryyamudāyyaivāsmabhyaṁ prādāttu darśanaṁ| tayānukampayā svasya lokānāṁ pāpamocane|
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.
paritrāṇasya tebhyo hi jñānaviśrāṇanāya ca| prabho rmārgaṁ pariṣkarttuṁ tasyāgrāyī bhaviṣyasi||
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.
atha bālakaḥ śarīreṇa buddhyā ca varddhitumārebhe; aparañca sa isrāyelo vaṁśīyalokānāṁ samīpe yāvanna prakaṭībhūtastāstāvat prāntare nyavasat|
