Luke 1
1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to arrange a narrative of those things which are fully believed among us,
prathamatō yē sākṣiṇō vākyapracārakāścāsan tē'smākaṁ madhyē yadyat sapramāṇaṁ vākyamarpayanti sma
2 even as they were delivered to us by those who were eye-witnesses from the beginning and became ministers of the word,
tadanusāratō'nyēpi bahavastadvr̥ttāntaṁ racayituṁ pravr̥ttāḥ|
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,
ataēva hē mahāmahimathiyaphil tvaṁ yā yāḥ kathā aśikṣyathāstāsāṁ dr̥ḍhapramāṇāni yathā prāpnōṣi
4 that thou mightst know the exact truth with regard to those things in which thou wast instructed.
tadarthaṁ prathamamārabhya tāni sarvvāṇi jñātvāhamapi anukramāt sarvvavr̥ttāntān tubhyaṁ lēkhituṁ matimakārṣam|
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.
yihūdādēśīyahērōdnāmakē rājatvaṁ kurvvati abīyayājakasya paryyāyādhikārī sikhariyanāmaka ēkō yājakō hārōṇavaṁśōdbhavā ilīśēvākhyā
6 And they were both righteous in the sight of God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
tasya jāyā dvāvimau nirdōṣau prabhōḥ sarvvājñā vyavasthāśca saṁmanya īśvaradr̥ṣṭau dhārmmikāvāstām|
7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both far advanced in years.
tayōḥ santāna ēkōpi nāsīt, yata ilīśēvā bandhyā tau dvāvēva vr̥ddhāvabhavatām|
8 And it came to pass, that, while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his course,
yadā svaparyyānukramēṇa sikhariya īśvāsya samakṣaṁ yājakīyaṁ karmma karōti
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.
tadā yajñasya dinaparipāyyā paramēśvarasya mandirē pravēśakālē dhūpajvālanaṁ karmma tasya karaṇīyamāsīt|
10 And the whole multitude of the people was praying without at the time of the incense.
taddhūpajvālanakālē lōkanivahē prārthanāṁ kartuṁ bahistiṣṭhati
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right of the altar of incense.
sati sikhariyō yasyāṁ vēdyāṁ dhūpaṁ jvālayati taddakṣiṇapārśvē paramēśvarasya dūta ēka upasthitō darśanaṁ dadau|
12 And Zachariah was troubled at the sight, and fear fell upon him.
taṁ dr̥ṣṭvā sikhariya udvivijē śaśaṅkē ca|
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.
tadā sa dūtastaṁ babhāṣē hē sikhariya mā bhaistava prārthanā grāhyā jātā tava bhāryyā ilīśēvā putraṁ prasōṣyatē tasya nāma yōhan iti kariṣyasi|
14 And thou wilt have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice for his birth.
kiñca tvaṁ sānandaḥ saharṣaśca bhaviṣyasi tasya janmani bahava ānandiṣyanti ca|
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.
yatō hētōḥ sa paramēśvarasya gōcarē mahān bhaviṣyati tathā drākṣārasaṁ surāṁ vā kimapi na pāsyati, aparaṁ janmārabhya pavitrēṇātmanā paripūrṇaḥ
16 And many of the sons of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God.
san isrāyēlvaṁśīyān anēkān prabhōḥ paramēśvarasya mārgamānēṣyati|
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.
santānān prati pitr̥ṇāṁ manāṁsi dharmmajñānaṁ pratyanājñāgrāhiṇaśca parāvarttayituṁ, prabhōḥ paramēśvarasya sēvārtham ēkāṁ sajjitajātiṁ vidhātuñca sa ēliyarūpātmaśaktiprāptastasyāgrē gamiṣyati|
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.
tadā sikhariyō dūtamavādīt kathamētad vētsyāmi? yatōhaṁ vr̥ddhō mama bhāryyā ca vr̥ddhā|
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.
tatō dūtaḥ pratyuvāca paśyēśvarasya sākṣādvarttī jibrāyēlnāmā dūtōhaṁ tvayā saha kathāṁ gadituṁ tubhyamimāṁ śubhavārttāṁ dātuñca prēṣitaḥ|
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.
kintu madīyaṁ vākyaṁ kālē phaliṣyati tat tvayā na pratītam ataḥ kāraṇād yāvadēva tāni na sētsyanti tāvat tvaṁ vaktuṁmaśaktō mūkō bhava|
21 And the people were looking for Zachariah, and wondering that he remained so long in the temple.
tadānīṁ yē yē lōkāḥ sikhariyamapaikṣanta tē madhyēmandiraṁ tasya bahuvilambād āścaryyaṁ mēnirē|
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.
sa bahirāgatō yadā kimapi vākyaṁ vaktumaśaktaḥ saṅkētaṁ kr̥tvā niḥśabdastasyau tadā madhyēmandiraṁ kasyacid darśanaṁ tēna prāptam iti sarvvē bubudhirē|
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were completed, that he returned to his house.
anantaraṁ tasya sēvanaparyyāyē sampūrṇē sati sa nijagēhaṁ jagāma|
24 And after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
katipayadinēṣu gatēṣu tasya bhāryyā ilīśēvā garbbhavatī babhūva
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me to take away my reproach among men.
paścāt sā pañcamāsān saṁgōpyākathayat lōkānāṁ samakṣaṁ mamāpamānaṁ khaṇḍayituṁ paramēśvarō mayi dr̥ṣṭiṁ pātayitvā karmmēdr̥śaṁ kr̥tavān|
26 And in her sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
aparañca tasyā garbbhasya ṣaṣṭhē māsē jātē gālīlpradēśīyanāsaratpurē
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
dāyūdō vaṁśīyāya yūṣaphnāmnē puruṣāya yā mariyamnāmakumārī vāgdattāsīt tasyāḥ samīpaṁ jibrāyēl dūta īśvarēṇa prahitaḥ|
28 And the angel came in to her and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored! the Lord is with thee.
sa gatvā jagāda hē īśvarānugr̥hītakanyē tava śubhaṁ bhūyāt prabhuḥ paramēśvarastava sahāyōsti nārīṇāṁ madhyē tvamēva dhanyā|
29 And she was troubled at the words, and was considering what this salutation could mean.
tadānīṁ sā taṁ dr̥ṣṭvā tasya vākyata udvijya kīdr̥śaṁ bhāṣaṇamidam iti manasā cintayāmāsa|
30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favor with God.
tatō dūtō'vadat hē mariyam bhayaṁ mākārṣīḥ, tvayi paramēśvarasyānugrahōsti|
31 And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and hear a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
paśya tvaṁ garbbhaṁ dhr̥tvā putraṁ prasōṣyasē tasya nāma yīśuriti kariṣyasi|
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;
sa mahān bhaviṣyati tathā sarvvēbhyaḥ śrēṣṭhasya putra iti khyāsyati; aparaṁ prabhuḥ paramēśvarastasya piturdāyūdaḥ siṁhāsanaṁ tasmai dāsyati;
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
tathā sa yākūbō vaṁśōpari sarvvadā rājatvaṁ kariṣyati, tasya rājatvasyāntō na bhaviṣyati| (aiōn g165)
34 Then said Mary to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?
tadā mariyam taṁ dūtaṁ babhāṣē nāhaṁ puruṣasaṅgaṁ karōmi tarhi kathamētat sambhaviṣyati?
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.
tatō dūtō'kathayat pavitra ātmā tvāmāśrāyiṣyati tathā sarvvaśrēṣṭhasya śaktistavōpari chāyāṁ kariṣyati tatō hētōstava garbbhād yaḥ pavitrabālakō janiṣyatē sa īśvaraputra iti khyātiṁ prāpsyati|
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.
aparañca paśya tava jñātirilīśēvā yāṁ sarvvē bandhyāmavadan idānīṁ sā vārddhakyē santānamēkaṁ garbbhē'dhārayat tasya ṣaṣṭhamāsōbhūt|
37 For nothing will be impossible with God.
kimapi karmma nāsādhyam īśvarasya|
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.
tadā mariyam jagāda, paśya prabhērahaṁ dāsī mahyaṁ tava vākyānusārēṇa sarvvamētad ghaṭatām; ananataraṁ dūtastasyāḥ samīpāt pratasthē|
39 And Mary arose and went in those days into the hill-country with haste, into a city of Judah.
atha katipayadināt paraṁ mariyam tasmāt parvvatamayapradēśīyayihūdāyā nagaramēkaṁ śīghraṁ gatvā
40 And she entered the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
sikhariyayājakasya gr̥haṁ praviśya tasya jāyām ilīśēvāṁ sambōdhyāvadat|
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,
tatō mariyamaḥ sambōdhanavākyē ilīśēvāyāḥ karṇayōḥ praviṣṭamātrē sati tasyā garbbhasthabālakō nanartta| tata ilīśēvā pavitrēṇātmanā paripūrṇā satī
42 and cried out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women; and blessed is the fruit of thy womb!
prōccairgaditumārēbhē, yōṣitāṁ madhyē tvamēva dhanyā, tava garbbhasthaḥ śiśuśca dhanyaḥ|
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
tvaṁ prabhōrmātā, mama nivēśanē tvayā caraṇāvarpitau, mamādya saubhāgyamētat|
44 For lo! as soon as the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, the babe leaped in my womb in exultation.
paśya tava vākyē mama karṇayōḥ praviṣṭamātrē sati mamōdarasthaḥ śiśurānandān nanartta|
45 And blessed is she who hath believed that there will be an accomplishment of those things which were told her from the Lord.
yā strī vyaśvasīt sā dhanyā, yatō hētōstāṁ prati paramēśvarōktaṁ vākyaṁ sarvvaṁ siddhaṁ bhaviṣyati|
46 And Mary said, My soul magnifieth the Lord,
tadānīṁ mariyam jagāda| dhanyavādaṁ parēśasya karōti māmakaṁ manaḥ|
47 and my spirit hath exulted in God my Saviour;
mamātmā tārakēśē ca samullāsaṁ pragacchati|
48 for he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaiden. For lo! from this time all generations will call me blessed;
akarōt sa prabhu rduṣṭiṁ svadāsyā durgatiṁ prati| paśyādyārabhya māṁ dhanyāṁ vakṣyanti puruṣāḥ sadā|
49 for the Mighty One hath done great things for me; and holy is his name;
yaḥ sarvvaśaktimān yasya nāmāpi ca pavitrakaṁ| sa ēva sumahatkarmma kr̥tavān mannimittakaṁ|
50 and his mercy is from generation to generation on them that fear him.
yē bibhyati janāstasmāt tēṣāṁ santānapaṁktiṣu| anukampā tadīyā ca sarvvadaiva sutiṣṭhati|
51 He hath wrought mightily with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the device of their heart.
svabāhubalatastēna prākāśyata parākramaḥ| manaḥkumantraṇāsārddhaṁ vikīryyantē'bhimāninaḥ|
52 He hath cast down princes from thrones, and exalted men of low degree.
siṁhāsanagatāllōkān balinaścāvarōhya saḥ| padēṣūccēṣu lōkāṁstu kṣudrān saṁsthāpayatyapi|
53 The hungry he hath filled with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty.
kṣudhitān mānavān dravyairuttamaiḥ paritarpya saḥ| sakalān dhaninō lōkān visr̥jēd riktahastakān|
54 He hath given help to Israel his servant, in remembrance of his mercy
ibrāhīmi ca tadvaṁśē yā dayāsti sadaiva tāṁ| smr̥tvā purā pitr̥ṇāṁ nō yathā sākṣāt pratiśrutaṁ| (aiōn g165)
isrāyēlsēvakastēna tathōpakriyatē svayaṁ||
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
anantaraṁ mariyam prāyēṇa māsatrayam ilīśēvayā sahōṣitvā vyāghuyya nijanivēśanaṁ yayau|
57 Now Elizabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
tadanantaram ilīśēvāyāḥ prasavakāla upasthitē sati sā putraṁ prāsōṣṭa|
58 And her neighbors and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had showed great mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her.
tataḥ paramēśvarastasyāṁ mahānugrahaṁ kr̥tavān ētat śrutvā samīpavāsinaḥ kuṭumbāścāgatya tayā saha mumudirē|
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.
tathāṣṭamē dinē tē bālakasya tvacaṁ chēttum ētya tasya pitr̥nāmānurūpaṁ tannāma sikhariya iti karttumīṣuḥ|
60 And his mother answering said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
kintu tasya mātākathayat tanna, nāmāsya yōhan iti karttavyam|
61 And they said to her, There is no one of thy kindred that is called by this name.
tadā tē vyāharan tava vaṁśamadhyē nāmēdr̥śaṁ kasyāpi nāsti|
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him named.
tataḥ paraṁ tasya pitaraṁ sikhariyaṁ prati saṅkētya papracchuḥ śiśōḥ kiṁ nāma kāriṣyatē?
63 And he asked for a writing-tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled.
tataḥ sa phalakamēkaṁ yācitvā lilēkha tasya nāma yōhan bhaviṣyati| tasmāt sarvvē āścaryyaṁ mēnirē|
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue was loosed; and he spoke, blessing God.
tatkṣaṇaṁ sikhariyasya jihvājāḍyē'pagatē sa mukhaṁ vyādāya spaṣṭavarṇamuccāryya īśvarasya guṇānuvādaṁ cakāra|
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.
tasmāccaturdiksthāḥ samīpavāsilōkā bhītā ēvamētāḥ sarvvāḥ kathā yihūdāyāḥ parvvatamayapradēśasya sarvvatra pracāritāḥ|
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.
tasmāt śrōtārō manaḥsu sthāpayitvā kathayāmbabhūvuḥ kīdr̥śōyaṁ bālō bhaviṣyati? atha paramēśvarastasya sahāyōbhūt|
67 And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
tadā yōhanaḥ pitā sikhariyaḥ pavitrēṇātmanā paripūrṇaḥ san ētādr̥śaṁ bhaviṣyadvākyaṁ kathayāmāsa|
68 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel! for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
isrāyēlaḥ prabhu ryastu sa dhanyaḥ paramēśvaraḥ| anugr̥hya nijāllōkān sa ēva parimōcayēt|
69 and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant, —
vipakṣajanahastēbhyō yathā mōcyāmahē vayaṁ| yāvajjīvañca dharmmēṇa sāralyēna ca nirbhayāḥ|
sēvāmahai tamēvaikam ētatkāraṇamēva ca| svakīyaṁ supavitrañca saṁsmr̥tya niyamaṁ sadā|
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
kr̥payā puruṣān pūrvvān nikaṣārthāttu naḥ pituḥ| ibrāhīmaḥ samīpē yaṁ śapathaṁ kr̥tavān purā|
72 to accomplish his mercy toward our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
tamēva saphalaṁ karttaṁ tathā śatrugaṇasya ca| r̥tīyākāriṇaścaiva karēbhyō rakṣaṇāya naḥ|
73 the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
sr̥ṣṭēḥ prathamataḥ svīyaiḥ pavitrai rbhāvivādibhiḥ| (aiōn g165)
74 to grant to us, that being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we might worship him without fear,
yathōktavān tathā svasya dāyūdaḥ sēvakasya tu|
75 in holiness and righteousness before him, all our days.
vaṁśē trātāramēkaṁ sa samutpāditavān svayam|
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,
atō hē bālaka tvantu sarvvēbhyaḥ śrēṣṭha ēva yaḥ| tasyaiva bhāvivādīti pravikhyātō bhaviṣyasi| asmākaṁ caraṇān kṣēmē mārgē cālayituṁ sadā| ēvaṁ dhvāntē'rthatō mr̥tyōśchāyāyāṁ yē tu mānavāḥ|
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins
upaviṣṭāstu tānēva prakāśayitumēva hi| kr̥tvā mahānukampāṁ hi yāmēva paramēśvaraḥ|
78 through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us,
ūrdvvāt sūryyamudāyyaivāsmabhyaṁ prādāttu darśanaṁ| tayānukampayā svasya lōkānāṁ pāpamōcanē|
79 to give light to those sitting in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
paritrāṇasya tēbhyō hi jñānaviśrāṇanāya ca| prabhō rmārgaṁ pariṣkarttuṁ tasyāgrāyī bhaviṣyasi||
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit; and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.
atha bālakaḥ śarīrēṇa buddhyā ca varddhitumārēbhē; aparañca sa isrāyēlō vaṁśīyalōkānāṁ samīpē yāvanna prakaṭībhūtastāstāvat prāntarē nyavasat|
