Luke 1
1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to arrange a narrative of those things which are fully believed among us,
επειδηπερ πολλοι επεχειρησαν αναταξασθαι διηγησιν περι των πεπληροφορημενων εν ημιν πραγματων
2 even as they were delivered to us by those who were eye-witnesses from the beginning and became ministers of the word,
καθως παρεδοσαν ημιν οι απ αρχης αυτοπται και υπηρεται γενομενοι του λογου
3 it seemed good to me also, having accurately traced up all things from the first, to write to thee a connected account, most excellent Theophilus,
εδοξεν καμοι παρηκολουθηκοτι ανωθεν πασιν ακριβως καθεξης σοι γραψαι κρατιστε θεοφιλε
4 that thou mightst know the exact truth with regard to those things in which thou wast instructed.
ινα επιγνως περι ων κατηχηθης λογων την ασφαλειαν
5 There was in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zachariah, of the course of Abijah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
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 in the sight of God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord 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 Elizabeth was barren, and they were both far advanced 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 was serving as priest before God 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 priesthood the lot fell to him to go into the temple of the Lord and burn the incense.
κατα το εθος της ιερατειας ελαχεν του θυμιασαι εισελθων εις τον ναον του κυριου
10 And the whole multitude of the people was praying without at the time of the incense.
και παν το πληθος του λαου ην προσευχομενον εξω τη ωρα του θυμιαματος
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right of the altar of incense.
ωφθη δε αυτω αγγελος κυριου εστως εκ δεξιων του θυσιαστηριου του θυμιαματος
12 And Zachariah was troubled at the sight, and fear fell upon him.
και εταραχθη ζαχαριας ιδων και φοβος επεπεσεν επ αυτον
13 But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zachariah; for thy prayer was heard, and thy wife Elizabeth 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 wilt have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice for his birth.
και εσται χαρα σοι και αγαλλιασις και πολλοι επι τη γεννησει αυτου χαρησονται
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; and will drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from his very birth.
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 sons of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God.
και πολλους των υιων ισραηλ επιστρεψει επι κυριον τον θεον αυτων
17 And he will go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a prepared people.
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 Zachariah said to the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is far advanced 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 to him, I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to thee, and to tell 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 lo! thou shalt be silent, and not able to speak, until the day when these things shall come to pass, because thou didst not believe my words, which will 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 were looking for Zachariah, and wondering that he remained so long in the temple.
και ην ο λαος προσδοκων τον ζαχαριαν και εθαυμαζον εν τω χρονιζειν αυτον εν τω ναω
22 And on coming out, he was not able to speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he was beckoning to 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, when the days of his ministration were completed, that he returned to his house.
και εγενετο ως επλησθησαν αι ημεραι της λειτουργιας αυτου απηλθεν εις τον οικον αυτου
24 And after those days his wife Elizabeth 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 the Lord 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 her sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
εν δε τω μηνι τω εκτω απεσταλη ο αγγελος γαβριηλ υπο του θεου εις πολιν της γαλιλαιας η ονομα {VAR1: ναζαρετ } {VAR2: ναζαρεθ }
27 to a virgin betrothed 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 δαβιδ και το ονομα της παρθενου μαριαμ
28 And the angel came in to her and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored! the Lord is with thee.
και εισελθων ο αγγελος προς αυτην ειπεν χαιρε κεχαριτωμενη ο κυριος μετα σου ευλογημενη συ εν γυναιξιν
29 And she was troubled at the words, and was considering what this salutation could mean.
η δε ιδουσα διεταραχθη επι τω λογω αυτου και διελογιζετο ποταπος ειη ο ασπασμος ουτος
30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favor with God.
και ειπεν ο αγγελος αυτη μη φοβου μαριαμ ευρες γαρ χαριν παρα τω θεω
31 And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and hear a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
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 Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of David his father;
ουτος εσται μεγας και υιος υψιστου κληθησεται και δωσει αυτω κυριος ο θεος τον θρονον δαβιδ 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 to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?
ειπεν δε μαριαμ προς τον αγγελον πως εσται τουτο επει ανδρα ου γινωσκω
35 And the angel answering said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee; wherefore the holy one that is to be born will be called the Son of God.
και αποκριθεις ο αγγελος ειπεν αυτη πνευμα αγιον επελευσεται επι σε και δυναμις υψιστου επισκιασει σοι διο και το γεννωμενον {VAR2: εκ σου } αγιον κληθησεται υιος θεου
36 And lo! Elizabeth, thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren.
και ιδου ελισαβετ η συγγενης σου και αυτη συνειληφυια υιον εν γηρα αυτης και ουτος μην εκτος εστιν αυτη τη καλουμενη στειρα
37 For nothing will be impossible with God.
οτι ουκ αδυνατησει παρα τω θεω παν ρημα
38 And Mary said, Lo, the handmaid of the Lord! May it be to 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 and went in those days into the hill-country with haste, into a city of Judah.
αναστασα δε μαριαμ εν ταις ημεραις ταυταις επορευθη εις την ορεινην μετα σπουδης εις πολιν ιουδα
40 And she entered the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
και εισηλθεν εις τον οικον ζαχαριου και ησπασατο την ελισαβετ
41 And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth 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 cried 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 Lord 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 came to my ears, the babe leaped in my womb in exultation.
ιδου γαρ ως εγενετο η φωνη του ασπασμου σου εις τα ωτα μου εσκιρτησεν εν αγαλλιασει το βρεφος εν τη κοιλια μου
45 And blessed is she who hath believed that there will be an accomplishment of those things which were told her from the Lord.
και μακαρια η πιστευσασα οτι εσται τελειωσις τοις λελαλημενοις αυτη παρα κυριου
46 And Mary said, My soul magnifieth the Lord,
και ειπεν μαριαμ μεγαλυνει η ψυχη μου τον κυριον
47 and my spirit hath exulted in God my Saviour;
και ηγαλλιασεν το πνευμα μου επι τω θεω τω σωτηρι μου
48 for he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaiden. For lo! from this time all generations will call me blessed;
οτι επεβλεψεν επι την ταπεινωσιν της δουλης αυτου ιδου γαρ απο του νυν μακαριουσιν με πασαι αι γενεαι
49 for the Mighty One hath done great things for me; and holy is his name;
οτι εποιησεν μοι μεγαλεια ο δυνατος και αγιον το ονομα αυτου
50 and his mercy is from generation to generation on them that fear him.
και το ελεος αυτου εις γενεας γενεων τοις φοβουμενοις αυτον
51 He hath wrought mightily with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the device of their heart.
εποιησεν κρατος εν βραχιονι αυτου διεσκορπισεν υπερηφανους διανοια καρδιας αυτων
52 He hath cast down princes from thrones, and exalted men of low degree.
καθειλεν δυναστας απο θρονων και υψωσεν ταπεινους
53 The hungry he hath filled with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty.
πεινωντας ενεπλησεν αγαθων και πλουτουντας εξαπεστειλεν κενους
54 He hath given help to Israel his servant, 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 Elizabeth'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 neighbors and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had showed great mercy toward 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 were about to call him Zachariah, 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 And his mother answering said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
και αποκριθεισα η μητηρ αυτου ειπεν ουχι αλλα κληθησεται ιωαννης
61 And they said to her, There is no one 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 named.
ενενευον δε τω πατρι αυτου το τι αν θελοι καλεισθαι αυτον
63 And he asked for a writing-tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled.
και αιτησας πινακιδιον εγραψεν λεγων ιωαννης εστιν το ονομα αυτου και εθαυμασαν παντες
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue was loosed; and he spoke, blessing God.
ανεωχθη δε το στομα αυτου παραχρημα και η γλωσσα αυτου και ελαλει ευλογων τον θεον
65 And fear came on all that dwelt around them; and all these things were talked of throughout the whole of 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 that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What then will this child be? For 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 And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
και ζαχαριας ο πατηρ αυτου επλησθη πνευματος αγιου και προεφητευσεν λεγων
68 Blessed be the Lord, the God 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 a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant, —
και ηγειρεν κερας σωτηριας ημιν εν τω οικω δαβιδ του παιδος αυτου
καθως ελαλησεν δια στοματος των αγιων των απ αιωνος προφητων αυτου (aiōn g165)
71 salvation 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 accomplish his mercy toward our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
ποιησαι ελεος μετα των πατερων ημων και μνησθηναι διαθηκης αγιας αυτου
73 the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
ορκον ον ωμοσεν προς αβρααμ τον πατερα ημων
74 to grant to us, that being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we might worship him without fear,
του δουναι ημιν αφοβως εκ χειρος των εχθρων ημων ρυσθεντας λατρευειν αυτω
75 in holiness and righteousness before him, all our days.
εν οσιοτητι και δικαιοσυνη ενωπιον αυτου πασας τας ημερας της ζωης ημων
76 And thou, child, shalt be called a prophet of the Most High; for thou shalt go in advance before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,
και συ παιδιον προφητης υψιστου κληθηση προπορευση γαρ προ προσωπου κυριου ετοιμασαι οδους αυτου
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins
του δουναι γνωσιν σωτηριας τω λαω αυτου εν αφεσει αμαρτιων αυτων
78 through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us,
δια σπλαγχνα ελεους θεου ημων εν οις επεσκεψατο ημας ανατολη εξ υψους
79 to give light to those sitting in darkness and 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 manifestation to Israel.
το δε παιδιον ηυξανεν και εκραταιουτο πνευματι και ην εν ταις ερημοις εως ημερας αναδειξεως αυτου προς τον ισραηλ
