Luke 1
1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
επειδηπερ πολλοι επεχειρησαν αναταξασθαι διηγησιν περι των πεπληροφορημενων εν ημιν πραγματων
2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
καθως παρεδοσαν ημιν οι απ αρχης αυτοπται και υπηρεται γενομενοι του λογου
3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
εδοξεν καμοι παρηκολουθηκοτι ανωθεν πασιν ακριβως καθεξης σοι γραψαι κρατιστε θεοφιλε
4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
ινα επιγνως περι ων κατηχηθης λογων την ασφαλειαν
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
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 And they were both righteous before YHWH, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of YHWH blameless.
ησαν δε δικαιοι αμφοτεροι ενωπιον του θεου πορευομενοι εν πασαις ταις εντολαις και δικαιωμασιν του κυριου αμεμπτοι
7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
και ουκ ην αυτοις τεκνον καθοτι η ελισαβετ ην στειρα και αμφοτεροι προβεβηκοτες εν ταις ημεραις αυτων ησαν
8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before YHWH in the order of his course,
εγενετο δε εν τω ιερατευειν αυτον εν τη ταξει της εφημεριας αυτου εναντι του θεου
9 According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of YHWH.
κατα το εθος της ιερατειας ελαχεν του θυμιασαι εισελθων εις τον ναον του κυριου
10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
και παν το πληθος ην του λαου προσευχομενον εξω τη ωρα του θυμιαματος
11 And there appeared unto him an angel of YHWH standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
ωφθη δε αυτω αγγελος κυριου εστως εκ δεξιων του θυσιαστηριου του θυμιαματος
12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
και εταραχθη ζαχαριας ιδων και φοβος επεπεσεν επ αυτον
13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
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 have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
και εσται χαρα σοι και αγαλλιασις και πολλοι επι τη γεννησει αυτου χαρησονται
15 For he shall be great in the sight of YHWH, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
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 turn to YHWH their Elohim.
και πολλους των υιων ισραηλ επιστρεψει επι κυριον τον θεον αυτων
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of EliYah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for YHWH.
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 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
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 angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of YHWH; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad 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, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be 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 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
και ην ο λαος προσδοκων τον ζαχαριαν και εθαυμαζον εν τω χρονιζειν αυτον εν τω ναω
22 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.
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 pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
και εγενετο ως επλησθησαν αι ημεραι της λειτουργιας αυτου απηλθεν εις τον οικον αυτου
24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
μετα δε ταυτας τας ημερας συνελαβεν ελισαβετ η γυνη αυτου και περιεκρυβεν εαυτην μηνας πεντε λεγουσα
25 Thus hath YHWH dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
οτι ουτως μοι πεποιηκεν ο κυριος εν ημεραις αις επειδεν αφελειν το ονειδος μου εν ανθρωποις
26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from YHWH unto a city of Galilee, 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 espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
προς παρθενον μεμνηστευμενην ανδρι ω ονομα ιωσηφ εξ οικου δαυιδ και το ονομα της παρθενου μαριαμ
28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, YHWH 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 cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
η δε ιδουσα διεταραχθη επι τω λογω αυτου και διελογιζετο ποταπος ειη ο ασπασμος ουτος
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with YHWH.
και ειπεν ο αγγελος αυτη μη φοβου μαριαμ ευρες γαρ χαριν παρα τω θεω
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Yahushua.
και ιδου συλληψη εν γαστρι και τεξη υιον και καλεσεις το ονομα αυτου ιησουν
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and YHWH Elohim shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
ουτος εσται μεγας και υιος υψιστου κληθησεται και δωσει αυτω κυριος ο θεος τον θρονον δαυιδ του πατρος αυτου
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
και βασιλευσει επι τον οικον ιακωβ εις τους αιωνας και της βασιλειας αυτου ουκ εσται τελος (aiōn g165)
34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
ειπεν δε μαριαμ προς τον αγγελον πως εσται μοι τουτο επει ανδρα ου γινωσκω
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of YHWH.
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 Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who 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 YHWH nothing shall be impossible.
οτι ουκ αδυνατησει παρα τω θεω παν ρημα
38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of YHWH; be it unto me according to thy word. And 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 Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
αναστασα δε μαριαμ εν ταις ημεραις ταυταις επορευθη εις την ορεινην μετα σπουδης εις πολιν ιουδα
40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
και εισηλθεν εις τον οικον ζαχαριου και ησπασατο την ελισαβετ
41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit:
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 spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
και ανεφωνησεν φωνη μεγαλη και ειπεν ευλογημενη συ εν γυναιξιν και ευλογημενος ο καρπος της κοιλιας σου
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Sovereign should come to me?
και ποθεν μοι τουτο ινα ελθη η μητηρ του κυριου μου προς με
44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
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 she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from YHWH.
και μακαρια η πιστευσασα οτι εσται τελειωσις τοις λελαλημενοις αυτη παρα κυριου
46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify YHWH,
και ειπεν μαριαμ μεγαλυνει η ψυχη μου τον κυριον
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in Elohim my Saviour.
και ηγαλλιασεν το πνευμα μου επι τω θεω τω σωτηρι μου
48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
οτι επεβλεψεν επι την ταπεινωσιν της δουλης αυτου ιδου γαρ απο του νυν μακαριουσιν με πασαι αι γενεαι
49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
οτι εποιησεν μοι μεγαλεια ο δυνατος και αγιον το ονομα αυτου
50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
και το ελεος αυτου εις γενεας γενεων τοις φοβουμενοις αυτον
51 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
εποιησεν κρατος εν βραχιονι αυτου διεσκορπισεν υπερηφανους διανοια καρδιας αυτων
52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
καθειλεν δυναστας απο θρονων και υψωσεν ταπεινους
53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
πεινωντας ενεπλησεν αγαθων και πλουτουντας εξαπεστειλεν κενους
54 He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
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 Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
εμεινεν δε μαριαμ συν αυτη ωσει μηνας τρεις και υπεστρεψεν εις τον οικον αυτης
57 Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
τη δε ελισαβετ επλησθη ο χρονος του τεκειν αυτην και εγεννησεν υιον
58 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how YHWH had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
και ηκουσαν οι περιοικοι και οι συγγενεις αυτης οτι εμεγαλυνεν κυριος το ελεος αυτου μετ αυτης και συνεχαιρον αυτη
59 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they 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 ζαχαχαριαν
60 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
και αποκριθεισα η μητηρ αυτου ειπεν ουχι αλλα κληθησεται ιωαννης
61 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
και ειπον προς αυτην οτι ουδεις εστιν εν τη συγγενεια σου ος καλειται τω ονοματι τουτω
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
ενενευον δε τω πατρι αυτου το τι αν θελοι καλεισθαι αυτον
63 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
και αιτησας πινακιδιον εγραψεν λεγων ιωαννης εστιν το ονομα αυτου και εθαυμασαν παντες
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised YHWH.
ανεωχθη δε το στομα αυτου παραχρημα και η γλωσσα αυτου και ελαλει ευλογων τον θεον
65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.
και εγενετο επι παντας φοβος τους περιοικουντας αυτους και εν ολη τη ορεινη της ιουδαιας διελαλειτο παντα τα ρηματα ταυτα
66 And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of YHWH 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 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
και ζαχαριας ο πατηρ αυτου επλησθη πνευματος αγιου και προεφητευσεν λεγων
68 Blessed be YHWH Elohim of Israel; for 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 up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
και ηγειρεν κερας σωτηριας ημιν εν τω οικω δαυιδ του παιδος αυτου
70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: (aiōn g165)
καθως ελαλησεν δια στοματος των αγιων των απ αιωνος προφητων αυτου (aiōn g165)
71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
σωτηριαν εξ εχθρων ημων και εκ χειρος παντων των μισουντων ημας
72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
ποιησαι ελεος μετα των πατερων ημων και μνησθηναι διαθηκης αγιας αυτου
73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
ορκον ον ωμοσεν προς αβρααμ τον πατερα ημων του δουναι ημιν
74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
αφοβως εκ χειρος των εχθρων ημων ρυσθεντας λατρευειν αυτω
75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
εν οσιοτητι και δικαιοσυνη ενωπιον αυτου πασας τας ημερας της ζωης ημων
76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of YHWH to prepare his ways;
και συ παιδιον προφητης υψιστου κληθηση προπορευση γαρ προ προσωπου κυριου ετοιμασαι οδους αυτου
77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
του δουναι γνωσιν σωτηριας τω λαω αυτου εν αφεσει αμαρτιων αυτων
78 Through the tender mercy of our Elohim; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
δια σπλαγχνα ελεους θεου ημων εν οις επεσκεψατο ημας ανατολη εξ υψους
79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
επιφαναι τοις εν σκοτει και σκια θανατου καθημενοις του κατευθυναι τους ποδας ημων εις οδον ειρηνης
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
το δε παιδιον ηυξανεν και εκραταιουτο πνευματι και ην εν ταις ερημοις εως ημερας αναδειξεως αυτου προς τον ισραηλ
