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,
prathamato ye sAkShiNo vAkyaprachArakAshchAsan te. asmAkaM madhye yadyat sapramANaM vAkyamarpayanti sma
2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; (logos)
tadanusArato. anyepi bahavastadvR^ittAntaM rachayituM pravR^ittAH|
3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto you in order, most excellent Theophilus,
ataeva he mahAmahimathiyaphil tvaM yA yAH kathA ashikShyathAstAsAM dR^iDhapramANAni yathA prApnoShi
4 That you might know the certainty of those things, (logos) wherein you have been instructed.

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.
yihUdAdeshIyaherodnAmake rAjatvaM kurvvati abIyayAjakasya paryyAyAdhikArI sikhariyanAmaka eko yAjako hAroNavaMshodbhavA ilIshevAkhyA
6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
tasya jAyA dvAvimau nirdoShau prabhoH sarvvAj nA vyavasthAshcha saMmanya IshvaradR^iShTau dhArmmikAvAstAm|
7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
tayoH santAna ekopi nAsIt, yata ilIshevA bandhyA tau dvAveva vR^iddhAvabhavatAm|
8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,
yadA svaparyyAnukrameNa sikhariya IshvAsya samakShaM yAjakIyaM karmma karoti
9 According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
tadA yaj nasya dinaparipAyyA parameshvarasya mandire praveshakAle dhUpajvAlanaM karmma tasya karaNIyamAsIt|
10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
taddhUpajvAlanakAle lokanivahe prArthanAM kartuM bahistiShThati
11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
sati sikhariyo yasyAM vedyAM dhUpaM jvAlayati taddakShiNapArshve parameshvarasya dUta eka upasthito darshanaM dadau|
12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
taM dR^iShTvA sikhariya udvivije shasha Nke cha|
13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elisabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
tadA sa dUtastaM babhAShe he sikhariya mA bhaistava prArthanA grAhyA jAtA tava bhAryyA ilIshevA putraM prasoShyate tasya nAma yohan iti kariShyasi|
14 And you shall have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
ki ncha tvaM sAnandaH saharShashcha bhaviShyasi tasya janmani bahava AnandiShyanti cha|
15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) even from his mother's womb.
yato hetoH sa parameshvarasya gochare mahAn bhaviShyati tathA drAkShArasaM surAM vA kimapi na pAsyati, aparaM janmArabhya pavitreNAtmanA paripUrNaH
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
san isrAyelvaMshIyAn anekAn prabhoH parameshvarasya mArgamAneShyati|
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit (pneuma) and power of Elijah, 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 the Lord.
santAnAn prati pitR^iNAM manAMsi dharmmaj nAnaM pratyanAj nAgrAhiNashcha parAvarttayituM, prabhoH parameshvarasya sevArtham ekAM sajjitajAtiM vidhAtu ncha sa eliyarUpAtmashaktiprAptastasyAgre gamiShyati|
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.
tadA sikhariyo dUtamavAdIt kathametad vetsyAmi? yatohaM vR^iddho mama bhAryyA cha vR^iddhA|
19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto you, and to show you these glad tidings.
tato dUtaH pratyuvAcha pashyeshvarasya sAkShAdvarttI jibrAyelnAmA dUtohaM tvayA saha kathAM gadituM tubhyamimAM shubhavArttAM dAtu ncha preShitaH|
20 And, behold, you shall be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because you believe not my words, (logos) which shall be fulfilled in their season.
kintu madIyaM vAkyaM kAle phaliShyati tat tvayA na pratItam ataH kAraNAd yAvadeva tAni na setsyanti tAvat tvaM vaktuMmashakto mUko bhava|
21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
tadAnIM ye ye lokAH sikhariyamapaikShanta te madhyemandiraM tasya bahuvilambAd AshcharyyaM menire|
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.
sa bahirAgato yadA kimapi vAkyaM vaktumashaktaH sa NketaM kR^itvA niHshabdastasyau tadA madhyemandiraM kasyachid darshanaM tena prAptam iti sarvve bubudhire|
23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
anantaraM tasya sevanaparyyAye sampUrNe sati sa nijagehaM jagAma|
24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
katipayadineShu gateShu tasya bhAryyA ilIshevA garbbhavatI babhUva
25 Thus has the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.

26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
apara ncha tasyA garbbhasya ShaShThe mAse jAte gAlIlpradeshIyanAsaratpure
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
dAyUdo vaMshIyAya yUShaphnAmne puruShAya yA mariyamnAmakumArI vAgdattAsIt tasyAH samIpaM jibrAyel dUta IshvareNa prahitaH|
28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, you that are highly favoured, the Lord is with you: blessed are you among women.
sa gatvA jagAda he IshvarAnugR^ihItakanye tava shubhaM bhUyAt prabhuH parameshvarastava sahAyosti nArINAM madhye tvameva dhanyA|
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, (logos) and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
tadAnIM sA taM dR^iShTvA tasya vAkyata udvijya kIdR^ishaM bhAShaNamidam iti manasA chintayAmAsa|
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for you have found favour with God.
tato dUto. avadat he mariyam bhayaM mAkArShIH, tvayi parameshvarasyAnugrahosti|
31 And, behold, you shall conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name JESUS.
pashya tvaM garbbhaM dhR^itvA putraM prasoShyase tasya nAma yIshuriti kariShyasi|
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
sa mahAn bhaviShyati tathA sarvvebhyaH shreShThasya putra iti khyAsyati; aparaM prabhuH parameshvarastasya piturdAyUdaH siMhAsanaM tasmai dAsyati;
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
tathA sa yAkUbo vaMshopari sarvvadA rAjatvaM kariShyati, tasya rAjatvasyAnto na bhaviShyati| (aiōn g165)
34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
tadA mariyam taM dUtaM babhAShe nAhaM puruShasa NgaM karomi tarhi kathametat sambhaviShyati?
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit (pneuma) shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God.

36 And, behold, your cousin Elisabeth, she has also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
apara ncha pashya tava j nAtirilIshevA yAM sarvve bandhyAmavadan idAnIM sA vArddhakye santAnamekaM garbbhe. adhArayat tasya ShaShThamAsobhUt|
37 For with God nothing (rhema) shall be impossible.
kimapi karmma nAsAdhyam Ishvarasya|
38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to your word. (rhema) And the angel departed from her.
tadA mariyam jagAda, pashya prabherahaM dAsI mahyaM tava vAkyAnusAreNa sarvvametad ghaTatAm; ananataraM dUtastasyAH samIpAt pratasthe|
39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
atha katipayadinAt paraM mariyam tasmAt parvvatamayapradeshIyayihUdAyA nagaramekaM shIghraM gatvA
40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
sikhariyayAjakasya gR^ihaM pravishya tasya jAyAm ilIshevAM sambodhyAvadat|
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: (pneuma)
tato mariyamaH sambodhanavAkye ilIshevAyAH karNayoH praviShTamAtre sati tasyA garbbhasthabAlako nanartta| tata ilIshevA pavitreNAtmanA paripUrNA satI
42 And she spoke out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
prochchairgaditumArebhe, yoShitAM madhye tvameva dhanyA, tava garbbhasthaH shishushcha dhanyaH|
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
tvaM prabhormAtA, mama niveshane tvayA charaNAvarpitau, mamAdya saubhAgyametat|
44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of your salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
pashya tava vAkye mama karNayoH praviShTamAtre sati mamodarasthaH shishurAnandAn nanartta|
45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
yA strI vyashvasIt sA dhanyA, yato hetostAM prati parameshvaroktaM vAkyaM sarvvaM siddhaM bhaviShyati|
46 And Mary said, My soul does magnify the Lord,
tadAnIM mariyam jagAda| dhanyavAdaM pareshasya karoti mAmakaM manaH|
47 And my spirit (pneuma) has rejoiced in God my Saviour.
mamAtmA tArakeshe cha samullAsaM pragachChati|
48 For he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
akarot sa prabhu rduShTiM svadAsyA durgatiM prati| pashyAdyArabhya mAM dhanyAM vakShyanti puruShAH sadA|
49 For he that is mighty has done to me great things; and holy is his name.
yaH sarvvashaktimAn yasya nAmApi cha pavitrakaM| sa eva sumahatkarmma kR^itavAn mannimittakaM|
50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
ye bibhyati janAstasmAt teShAM santAnapaMktiShu| anukampA tadIyA cha sarvvadaiva sutiShThati|
51 He has showed strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
svabAhubalatastena prAkAshyata parAkramaH| manaHkumantraNAsArddhaM vikIryyante. abhimAninaH|
52 He has put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.

53 He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he has sent empty away.
kShudhitAn mAnavAn dravyairuttamaiH paritarpya saH| sakalAn dhanino lokAn visR^ijed riktahastakAn|
54 He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;

56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
anantaraM mariyam prAyeNa mAsatrayam ilIshevayA sahoShitvA vyAghuyya nijaniveshanaM yayau|
57 Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
tadanantaram ilIshevAyAH prasavakAla upasthite sati sA putraM prAsoShTa|
58 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had showed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
tataH parameshvarastasyAM mahAnugrahaM kR^itavAn etat shrutvA samIpavAsinaH kuTumbAshchAgatya tayA saha mumudire|
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.
tathAShTame dine te bAlakasya tvachaM Chettum etya tasya pitR^inAmAnurUpaM tannAma sikhariya iti karttumIShuH|
60 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
kintu tasya mAtAkathayat tanna, nAmAsya yohan iti karttavyam|
61 And they said unto her, There is none of your kindred that is called by this name.
tadA te vyAharan tava vaMshamadhye nAmedR^ishaM kasyApi nAsti|
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
tataH paraM tasya pitaraM sikhariyaM prati sa Nketya paprachChuH shishoH kiM nAma kAriShyate?
63 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
tataH sa phalakamekaM yAchitvA lilekha tasya nAma yohan bhaviShyati| tasmAt sarvve AshcharyyaM menire|
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, and praised God.

65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings (rhema) were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.
tasmAchchaturdiksthAH samIpavAsilokA bhItA evametAH sarvvAH kathA yihUdAyAH parvvatamayapradeshasya sarvvatra prachAritAH|
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 the Lord was with him.
tasmAt shrotAro manaHsu sthApayitvA kathayAmbabhUvuH kIdR^ishoyaM bAlo bhaviShyati? atha parameshvarastasya sahAyobhUt|
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) and prophesied, saying,
tadA yohanaH pitA sikhariyaH pavitreNAtmanA paripUrNaH san etAdR^ishaM bhaviShyadvAkyaM kathayAmAsa|
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people,
isrAyelaH prabhu ryastu sa dhanyaH parameshvaraH| anugR^ihya nijAllokAn sa eva parimochayet|
69 And has raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
vipakShajanahastebhyo yathA mochyAmahe vayaM| yAvajjIva ncha dharmmeNa sAralyena cha nirbhayAH|
70 As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: (aiōn g165)
sevAmahai tamevaikam etatkAraNameva cha| svakIyaM supavitra ncha saMsmR^itya niyamaM sadA|
71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
kR^ipayA puruShAn pUrvvAn nikaShArthAttu naH pituH| ibrAhImaH samIpe yaM shapathaM kR^itavAn purA|
72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
tameva saphalaM karttaM tathA shatrugaNasya cha| R^itIyAkAriNashchaiva karebhyo rakShaNAya naH|
73 The oath which he swore to our father Abraham,
sR^iShTeH prathamataH svIyaiH pavitrai rbhAvivAdibhiH| (aiōn g165)
74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
yathoktavAn tathA svasya dAyUdaH sevakasya tu|
75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
vaMshe trAtAramekaM sa samutpAditavAn svayam|
76 And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Highest: for you shall go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;

77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,

78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high has visited us,

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.

80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, (pneuma) and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel.
