Luke 1
1 Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
| لَمَّا كَانَ كَثِيرُونَ قَدْ أَقْدَمُوا عَلَى تَدْوِينِ قِصَّةٍ فِي الأَحْدَاثِ الَّتِي تَمَّتْ بَيْنَنَا، | ١ |
2 even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
| كَمَا سَلَّمَهَا إِلَيْنَا أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مِنَ الْبَدَايَةِ شُهُودَ عَيَانٍ، ثُمَّ صَارُوا خُدَّاماً لِلْكَلِمَةِ، | ٢ |
3 it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus;
| رَأَيْتُ أَنَا أَيْضاً، بَعْدَمَا تَفَحَّصْتُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ الأَمْرِ تَفَحُّصاً دَقِيقاً، أَنْ أَكْتُبَهَا إِلَيْكَ مُرَتَّبَةً يَا صَاحِبَ السُّمُوِّ ثَاوُفِيلُسَ | ٣ |
4 that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
| لِتَتَأَكَّدَ لَكَ صِحَّةُ الْكَلامِ الَّذِي تَلَقَّيْتَهُ. | ٤ |
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
| كَانَ فِي زَمَنِ هِيرُودُسَ مَلِكِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ كَاهِنٌ اسْمُهُ زَكَرِيَّا، مِنْ فِرْقَةِ أَبِيَّا، وَزَوْجَتُهُ مِنْ نَسْلِ هَارُونَ، وَاسْمُهَا أَلِيصَابَاتُ. | ٥ |
6 They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
| وَكَانَ كِلاهُمَا بَارَّيْنِ أَمَامَ اللهِ، يَسْلُكَانِ وَفْقاً لِوَصَايَا الرَّبِّ وَأَحْكَامِهِ كُلِّهَا بِغَيْرِ لَوْمٍ. | ٦ |
7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
| وَلكِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمَا وَلَدٌ، إِذْ كَانَتْ أَلِيصَابَاتُ عَاقِراً وَكِلاهُمَا قَدْ تَقَدَّمَا فِي السِّنِّ كَثِيراً. | ٧ |
8 Now it happened, while he was performing the priest's office before God in the order of his division,
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ زَكَرِيَّا يُؤَدِّي خِدْمَتَهُ الْكَهَنُوتِيَّةَ أَمَامَ اللهِ فِي دَوْرِ فِرْقَتِهِ، | ٨ |
9 according to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
| وَقَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْعَةُ الَّتِي أُلْقِيَتْ حَسَبَ عَادَةِ الْكَهَنُوتِ لِيَدْخُلَ هَيْكَلَ الرَّبِّ وَيُحْرِقَ الْبَخُورَ. | ٩ |
10 And the whole crowd of people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
| وَكَانَ جُمْهُورُ الشَّعْبِ جَمِيعاً يُصَلُّونَ خَارِجاً فِي وَقْتِ إِحْرَاقِ الْبَخُورِ. | ١٠ |
11 An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
| فَظَهَرَ لَهُ مَلاكٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ وَاقِفاً عَنْ يَمِينِ مَذْبَحِ الْبَخُورِ. | ١١ |
12 Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
| فَاضْطَرَبَ زَكَرِيَّا لَمَّا رَآهُ وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهِ الْخَوْفُ. | ١٢ |
13 But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلاكُ: «لا تَخَفْ يَا زَكَرِيَّا، لأَنَّ طِلْبَتَكَ قَدْ سُمِعَتْ، وَزَوْجَتُكَ أَلِيصَابَاتُ سَتَلِدُ لَكَ ابْناً، وَأَنْتَ تُسَمِّيهِ يُوحَنَّا، | ١٣ |
14 You will have joy and gladness; and many will rejoice at his birth.
| وَيَكُونُ لَكَ فَرَحٌ وَابْتِهَاجٌ وَكَثِيرُونَ سَيَفْرَحُونَ بِوِلادَتِهِ. | ١٤ |
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he must never drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
| وَسَوْفَ يَكُونُ عَظِيماً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، وَلا يَشْرَبُ خَمْراً وَلا مُسْكِراً، وَيَمْتَلِئُ بِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ وَهُوَ بَعْدُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ، | ١٥ |
16 He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord, their God.
| وَيَرُدُّ كَثِيرِينَ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلهِهِمْ، | ١٦ |
17 He will go before him in the spirit 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."
| فَيَتَقَدَّمُ أَمَامَهُ وَلَهُ رُوحُ إِيلِيَّا وَقُدْرَتُهُ، لِيَرُدَّ قُلُوبَ الآبَاءِ إِلَى الأَوْلادِ، وَالْعُصَاةَ إِلَى حِكْمَةِ الأَبْرَارِ، لِيُهَيِّئَ لِلرَّبِّ شَعْباً مُعَدّاً!» | ١٧ |
18 Zechariah 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."
| فَسَأَلَ زَكَرِيَّا الْمَلاكَ: «بِمَ يَتَأَكَّدُ لِي هَذَا، فَأَنَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ وَزَوْجَتِي مُتَقَدِّمَةٌ فِي السِّنِّ؟» | ١٨ |
19 The angel answered him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news.
| فَأَجَابَهُ الْمَلاكُ: «أَنَا جِبْرَائِيلُ، الْوَاقِفُ أَمَامَ اللهِ، وَقَدْ أُرْسِلْتُ لأُكَلِّمَكَ وَأُبَشِّرَكَ بِهَذَا. | ١٩ |
20 And look, you will be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things will happen, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time."
| وَهَا أَنْتَ سَتَبْقَى صَامِتاً لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ الْكَلامَ، إِلَى الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي يَحْدُثُ فِيهِ هَذَا، لأَنَّكَ لَمْ تُصَدِّقْ كَلامِي، وَهُوَ سَيَتِمُّ فِي حِينِهِ». | ٢٠ |
21 The people were waiting for Zechariah, and they were wondering why he was delayed in the temple.
| وَكَانَ الشَّعْبُ مُنْتَظِرِينَ زَكَرِيَّا، وَهُمْ مُتَعَجِّبُونَ مِنْ تَأَخُّرِهِ دَاخِلَ الْهَيْكَلِ. | ٢١ |
22 When he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.
| وَلكِنَّهُ لَمَّا خَرَجَ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَهُمْ، فَأَدْرَكُوا أَنَّهُ رَأَى رُؤْيَا دَاخِلَ الْهَيْكَلِ. فَأَخَذَ يُشِيرُ لَهُمْ وَظَلَّ أَخْرَسَ. | ٢٢ |
23 It happened, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
| وَلَمَّا أَتَمَّ أَيَّامَ خِدْمَتِهِ، رَجَعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ. | ٢٣ |
24 After these days Elizabeth, his wife, conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,
| وَبَعْدَ تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، حَبِلَتْ أَلِيصَابَاتُ زَوْجَتُهُ، فَكَتَمَتْ أَمْرَهَا خَمْسَةَ أَشْهُرٍ، قَائِلَةً: | ٢٤ |
25 "Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my disgrace among people."
| «هَكَذَا فَعَلَ الرَّبُّ بِي، فِي الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي فِيهَا نَظَرَ إِلَيَّ لِيَنْزِعَ عَنِّي الْعَارَ مِنْ بَيْنِ النَّاسِ!» | ٢٥ |
26 Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
| وَفِي شَهْرِهَا السَّادِسِ، أُرْسِلَ الْمَلاكُ جِبْرَائِيلُ مِنْ قِبَلِ اللهِ إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ بِالْجَلِيلِ اسْمُهَا النَّاصِرَةُ، | ٢٦ |
27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.
| إِلَى عَذْرَاءَ مَخْطُوبَةٍ لِرَجُلٍ اسْمُهُ يُوسُفُ، مِنْ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ، وَاسْمُ الْعَذْرَاءِ مَرْيَمُ. | ٢٧ |
28 Having come in, the angel said to her, "Greetings, favored one. The Lord is with you."
| فَدَخَلَ الْمَلاكُ وَقَالَ لَهَا: «سَلامٌ، أَيَّتُهَا الْمُنْعَمُ عَلَيْهَا! الرَّبُّ مَعَكِ: مُبَارَكَةٌ أَنْتِ بَيْنَ النِّسَاءِ». | ٢٨ |
29 But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of greeting this might be.
| فَاضْطَرَبَتْ لِكَلامِ الْمَلاكِ، وَسَاءَلَتْ نَفْسَهَا: «مَا عَسَى أَنْ تَكُونَ هذِهِ التَّحِيَّةُ!» | ٢٩ |
30 The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
| فَقَالَ لَهَا الْمَلاكُ: «لا تَخَافِي يَا مَرْيَمُ، فَإِنَّكِ قَدْ نِلْتِ نِعْمَةً عِنْدَ اللهِ! | ٣٠ |
31 And look, you will conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and will call his name 'Jesus.'
| وَها أَنْتِ سَتَحْبَلِينَ وَتَلِدِينَ ابْناً، وَتُسَمِّينَهُ يَسُوعَ. | ٣١ |
32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father, David,
| إِنَّهُ يَكُونُ عَظِيماً، وَابْنَ الْعَلِيِّ يُدْعَى، وَيَمْنَحُهُ الرَّبُ الإِلهُ عَرْشَ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، | ٣٢ |
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom." (aiōn g165)
| فَيَمْلِكُ عَلَى بَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَلَنْ يَكُونَ لِمُلْكِهِ نِهَايَةٌ». (aiōn g165) | ٣٣ |
34 Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?"
| فَقَالَتْ مَرْيَمُ لِلْمَلاكِ: «كَيْفَ يَحْدُثُ هَذَا، وَأَنَا لَسْتُ أَعْرِفُ رَجُلاً؟» | ٣٤ |
35 The angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born will be called the Son of God.
| فَأَجَابَهَا الْمَلاكُ: «الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ يَحِلُّ عَلَيْكِ، وَقُدْرَةُ الْعَلِيِّ تُظَلِّلُكِ. لِذلِكَ أَيْضاً فَالْقُدُّوسُ الْمَوْلُودُ مِنْكِ يُدْعَى ابْنَ اللهِ. | ٣٥ |
36 And look, Elizabeth, your relative, also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
| وَهَا هِيَ نَسِيبَتُكِ أَلِيصَابَاتُ أَيْضاً قَدْ حَبِلَتْ بِابْنٍ فِي سِنِّهَا الْمُتَقَدِّمَةِ. وَهَذَا هُوَ الشَّهْرُ السَّادِسُ لِتِلْكَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُدْعَى عَاقِراً. | ٣٦ |
37 For with God nothing will be impossible."
| فَلَيْسَ لَدَى اللهِ وَعْدٌ يَسْتَحِيلُ عَلَيْهِ إِتْمَامُهُ». | ٣٧ |
38 And Mary said, "See, the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word." The angel departed from her.
| فَقَالَتْ مَرْيَمُ: «هَا أَنَا أَمَةُ الرَّبِّ. لِيَكُنْ لِي كَمَا تَقُولُ!» ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ الْمَلاكُ مِنْ عِنْدِهَا. | ٣٨ |
39 Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,
| وَفِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، قَامَتْ مَرْيَمُ وَذَهَبَتْ مُسْرِعَةً إِلَى الْجِبَالِ، قَاصِدَةً إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ مِنْ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا. | ٣٩ |
40 and entered into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
| فَدَخَلَتْ بَيْتَ زَكَرِيَّا وَسَلَّمَتْ عَلَى أَلِيصَابَاتَ. | ٤٠ |
41 It happened, when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, that the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
| وَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ أَلِيصَابَاتُ سَلامَ مَرْيَمَ، قَفَزَ الْجَنِينُ دَاخِلَ بَطْنِهَا. وَامْتَلأَتْ أَلِيصَابَاتُ مِنَ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ، | ٤١ |
42 She called out with a loud voice, and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
| وَهَتَفَتْ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ قَائِلَةٍ: «مُبَارَكَةٌ أَنْتِ بَيْنَ النِّسَاءِ! وَمُبَارَكَةٌ ثَمَرَةُ بَطْنِكِ! | ٤٢ |
43 Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
| فَمِنْ أَيْنَ لِي هَذَا: أَنْ تَأْتِيَ إِلَيَّ أُمُّ رَبِّي؟ | ٤٣ |
44 For look, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy.
| فَإِنَّهُ مَا إِنْ وَقَعَ صَوْتُ سَلامِكِ فِي أُذُنَيَّ حَتَّى قَفَزَ الْجَنِينُ ابْتِهَاجاً فِي بَطْنِي: | ٤٤ |
45 Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord."
| فَطُوبَى لِلَّتِي آمَنَتْ أَنَّهُ سَيَتِمُّ مَا قِيلَ لَهَا مِنْ قِبَلِ الرَّبِّ!» | ٤٥ |
46 Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord.
| فَقَالَتْ مَرْيَمُ: «تُعَظِّمُ نَفْسِي الرَّبَّ، | ٤٦ |
47 And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
| وَتَبْتَهِجُ رُوحِي بِاللهِ مُخَلِّصِي. | ٤٧ |
48 for he has looked at the humble state of his servant girl. For look, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
| فَإِنَّهُ نَظَرَ إِلَى تَوَاضُعِ أَمَتِهِ، وَهَا إِنَّ جَمِيعَ الأَجْيَالِ مِنَ الآنَ فَصَاعِداً سَوْفَ تُطَوِّبُنِي. | ٤٨ |
49 For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
| فَإِنَّ الْقَدِيرَ قَدْ فَعَلَ بِي أُمُوراً عَظِيمَةً، قُدُّوسٌ اسْمُهُ، | ٤٩ |
50 His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear him.
| وَرَحْمَتُهُ لِلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَهُ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ. | ٥٠ |
51 He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
| عَمِلَ بِذِرَاعِهِ قُوَّةً؛ شَتَّتَ الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ فِي نِيَّاتِ قُلُوبِهِمْ. | ٥١ |
52 He has put down princes from their thrones. And has exalted the lowly.
| أَنْزَلَ الْمُقْتَدِريِنَ عَنْ عُرُوشِهِمْ، وَرَفَعَ الْمُتَوَاضِعِينَ. | ٥٢ |
53 He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.
| أَشْبَعَ الْجِيَاعَ خَيْرَاتٍ، وَصَرَفَ الأَغْنِيَاءَ فَارِغِينَ. | ٥٣ |
54 He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
| أَعَانَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَتَاهُ، مُتَذَكِّراً الرَّحْمَةَ، | ٥٤ |
| كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ إِلَى آبَائِنَا، لإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَنَسْلِهِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ». (aiōn g165) | ٥٥ |
56 Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.
| وَأَقَامَتْ مَرْيَمُ عِنْدَ أَلِيصَابَاتَ نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَتْ إِلَى بَيْتِهَا. | ٥٦ |
57 Now the time that Elizabeth should give birth was fulfilled, and she brought forth a son.
| وَأَمَّا أَلِيصَابَاتُ فَتَمَّ زَمَانُهَا لِتَلِدَ فَوَلَدَتِ ابْناً. | ٥٧ |
58 Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they rejoiced with her.
| وَسَمِعَ جِيرَانُهَا وَأَقَارِبُهَا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ أَفَاضَ رَحْمَتَهُ عَلَيْهَا، فَفَرِحُوا مَعَهَا. | ٥٨ |
59 It happened on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zechariah, after the name of the father.
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّامِنِ حَضَرُوا لِيَخْتِنُوا الصَّبِيَّ، وَكَادُوا يُسَمُّونَهُ زَكَرِيَّا عَلَى اسْمِ أَبِيهِ. | ٥٩ |
60 His mother answered, "Not so; but he will be called John."
| وَلَكِنَّ أُمَّهُ قَالَتْ: «لا، بَلْ يُسَمَّى يُوحَنَّا!» | ٦٠ |
61 They said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name."
| فَقَالُوا لَهَا: «لَيْسَ فِي عَشِيرَتِكِ أَحَدٌ تَسَمَّى بِهَذَا الاسْمِ». | ٦١ |
62 They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
| وَأَشَارُوا لأَبِيهِ، مَاذَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُسَمَّى. | ٦٢ |
63 And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they were all amazed.
| فَطَلَبَ لَوْحاً وَكَتَبَ فِيهِ: «اسْمُهُ يُوحَنَّا». فَتَعَجَّبُوا جَمِيعاً. | ٦٣ |
64 His mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.
| وَانْفَتَحَ فَمُ زَكَرِيَّا فِي الْحَالِ وَانْطَلَقَ لِسَانُهُ، فَتَكَلَّمَ مُبَارِكاً اللهَ. | ٦٤ |
65 Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.
| فَاسْتَوْلَى الْخَوْفُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي جُوَارِهِمْ، وَصَارَتْ هذِهِ الأُمُورُ مَوْضُوعَ الْحَدِيثِ فِي جِبَالِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ كُلِّهَا. | ٦٥ |
66 All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, "What then will this child be?" The hand of the Lord was with him.
| وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ السَّامِعِينَ يَضَعُونَهَا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ، قَائِلِينَ: «تُرَى، مَاذَا سَيَصِيرُ هَذَا الطِّفْلُ؟» فَقَدْ كَانَتْ يَدُ الرَّبِّ مَعَهُ. | ٦٦ |
67 His father, Zechariah, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
| وَامْتَلأَ زَكَرِيَّا أَبُوهُ مِنَ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ، فَتَنَبَّأَ قَائِلاً: | ٦٧ |
68 "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited and worked redemption for his people;
| «تَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لأَنَّهُ تَفَقَّدَ شَعْبَهُ وَعَمِلَ لَهُ فِدَاءً، | ٦٨ |
69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
| وَأَقَامَ لَنَا قَرْنَ خَلاصٍ فِي بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ فَتَاهُ، | ٦٩ |
| كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ بِلِسَانِ أَنْبِيَائِهِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا مُنْذُ الْقَدِيمِ: (aiōn g165) | ٧٠ |
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us;
| خَلاصٍ مِنْ أَعْدَائِنَا وَمِنْ أَيْدِي جَمِيعِ مُبْغِضِينَا، | ٧١ |
72 to show mercy towards our fathers, to remember his holy covenant,
| لِيُتِمَّ الرَّحْمَةَ نَحْوَ آبَائِنَا وَيَتَذَكَّرَ عَهْدَهُ الْمُقَدَّسَ | ٧٢ |
73 the oath which he spoke to Abraham, our father,
| ذلِكَ الْقَسَمَ الَّذِي أَقْسَمَ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِينَا: بِأَنْ يَمْنَحَنَا، | ٧٣ |
74 to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, should serve him without fear,
| بَعْدَ تَخْلِيصِنَا مِنْ أَيْدِي أَعْدَائِنَا، أَنْ نَعْبُدَهُ بِلا خَوْفٍ، | ٧٤ |
75 In holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
| بِقَدَاسَةٍ وَتَقْوَى أَمَامَهُ، طَوَالَ حَيَاتِنَا. | ٧٥ |
76 And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to make ready his ways,
| وَأَنْتَ، أَيُّهَا الطِّفْلُ، سَوْفَ تُدْعَى نَبِيَّ الْعَلِيِّ، لأَنَّكَ سَتَتَقَدَّمُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ لِتُعِدَّ طُرُقَهُ، | ٧٦ |
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins,
| لِتُعْطِيَ شَعْبَهُ الْمَعْرِفَةَ بِأَنَّ الْخَلاصَ هُوَ بِمَغْفِرَةِ خَطَايَاهُمْ | ٧٧ |
78 because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the dawn from on high will visit us,
| بِفَضْلِ مَشَاعِرِ الرَّحْمَةِ لَدَى إِلهَنَا، تِلْكَ الَّتِي تَفَقَّدَنَا بِها الْفَجْرُ الْمُشْرَقُ مِنَ الْعَلاءِ، | ٧٨ |
79 to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace."
| لِيُضِيءَ عَلَى الْقَابِعِينَ فِي الظَّلامِ وَظِلِّ الْمَوْتِ، وَيَهْدِيَ خُطَانَا فِي طَرِيقِ السَّلامِ». | ٧٩ |
80 The child was growing, and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
| وَكَانَ الطِّفْلُ يَنْمُو وَيَتَقَوَّى بِالرُّوحِ؛ وَأَقَامَ فِي الْبَرَارِي إِلَى يَوْمِ ظُهُورِهِ لإِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٨٠ |
