Luke 1
1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to arrange a narrative of those things which are fully believed among us,
Ker so že mnogi vzeli v roko, da po vrsti uredijo izjavo o teh stvareh, ki se najbolj gotovo verjamejo med nami,
2 even as they were delivered to us by those who were eye-witnesses from the beginning and became ministers of the word,
celo kakor so nam jih izročili [tisti], ki so bili od začetka priče in služabniki besede,
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,
se je tudi meni zdelo dobro, od samega začetka imeti popolno razumevanje o vseh stvareh, da tebi, nadvse odlični Teófil, napišem po vrsti,
4 that thou mightst know the exact truth with regard to those things in which thou wast instructed.
da lahko spoznaš zanesljivost o teh besedah, o katerih si bil poučen.
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.
V dneh Heroda, judejskega kralja, je bil nek duhovnik, imenovan Zaharija, iz Abíjeve skupine, in njegova žena je bila izmed Aronovih hčera in njeno ime je bilo Elizabeta.
6 And they were both righteous in the sight of God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Oba sta bila pravična pred Bogom in sta brez krivde živela po vseh Gospodovih zapovedih in odredbah.
7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both far advanced in years.
Ker je bila Elizabeta jalova nista imela nobenega otroka in oba sta bila zelo zvrhana v letih.
8 And it came to pass, that, while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his course,
In pripetilo se je, medtem ko je pred Bogom opravljal duhovniško službo, po vrstnem redu svoje skupine,
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.
glede na navado duhovniške službe, je bil na njem žreb, da zažge kadilo, ko je odšel v Gospodov tempelj.
10 And the whole multitude of the people was praying without at the time of the incense.
Celotna množica ljudi pa je ob času zažiganja kadila zunaj molila.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right of the altar of incense.
In prikazal se mu je Gospodov angel, stoječ na desni strani kadilnega oltarja.
12 And Zachariah was troubled at the sight, and fear fell upon him.
Ko pa ga je Zaharija zagledal, se je vznemiril in strah ga je spreletel.
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.
Toda angel mu je rekel: »Ne boj se, Zaharija, kajti tvoja molitev je uslišana in tvoja žena Elizabeta ti bo rodila sina in ti boš klical njegovo ime Janez.
14 And thou wilt have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice for his birth.
Imel boš radost in veselje in mnogi se bodo veselili ob njegovem rojstvu.
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.
Kajti velik bo v Gospodovih očeh in ne bo pil niti vina niti močne pijače in celó od maternice svoje matere bo izpolnjen s Svetim Duhom.
16 And many of the sons of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God.
In mnoge izmed Izraelovih otrok bo obrnil h Gospodu, njihovemu Bogu.
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.
Pred njim bo šel z Elijevim duhom in močjo, da obrne srca očetov k otrokom in neposlušne k modrosti pravičnih; da pripravi ljudstvo, pripravljeno za Gospoda.«
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.
Zaharija je angelu rekel: »Po čem bom to spoznal? Kajti starec sem in moja žena je zelo zvrhana v letih.«
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.
Angel mu odgovori in reče: »Jaz sem Gabriel, ki stojim v prisotnosti Boga in poslan sem, da ti govorim in da ti pokažem te vesele novice.
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.
Glej, ker nisi verjel mojim besedam, ki se bodo uresničile ob njihovem pravem času, boš postal nem in ne boš mogel govoriti do dne, ko se bodo te besede izpolnile.«
21 And the people were looking for Zachariah, and wondering that he remained so long in the temple.
In ljudje so čakali na Zaharija in se čudili, da se je tako dolgo mudil v templju.
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.
Ko pa je prišel ven, jim ni mogel spregovoriti, in zaznali so, da je videl v templju videnje, kajti dajal jim je znamenja, ostal pa je brez besed.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were completed, that he returned to his house.
Pripetilo se je, kakor hitro so bili dnevi njegovega služenja dovršeni, da se je odpravil k svoji lastni hiši.
24 And after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Po teh dneh je njegova žena Elizabeta spočela in se pet mesecev skrivala, rekoč:
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me to take away my reproach among men.
»Tako je Gospod ravnal z menoj v dneh, v katerih je pogledal name, da odvzame mojo grajo izmed ljudi.«
26 And in her sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
V šestem mesecu pa je bil od Boga poslan angel Gabriel v galilejsko mesto, imenovano Nazaret,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
k devici, zaročeni z možem, katerega ime je bilo Jožef, iz Davidove hiše; in devici je bilo ime Marija.
28 And the angel came in to her and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored! the Lord is with thee.
Angel je vstopil k njej in rekel: »Pozdravljena, ti, ki si zelo spoštovana, Gospod je s teboj, blagoslovljena si med ženskami.«
29 And she was troubled at the words, and was considering what this salutation could mean.
Ko pa ga je zagledala, je bila ob njegovem govoru zaskrbljena in v svojih mislih preudarjala, kakšne vrste pozdrav naj bi to bil.
30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favor with God.
Angel ji je rekel: »Ne boj se, Marija, kajti pri Bogu si našla naklonjenost.
31 And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and hear a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
Glej, v svoji maternici boš spočela in rodila sina in njegovo ime boš klicala JEZUS.
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;
Velik bo in imenovan bo Sin Najvišjega; in Gospod Bog mu bo dal prestol njegovega očeta Davida
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
in nad Jakobovo hišo bo vladal večno in njegovemu kraljestvu ne bo konca.« (aiōn g165)
34 Then said Mary to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?
Potem je Marija rekla angelu: »Kako se bo to zgodilo, glede na to, da ne poznam moškega?«
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.
Angel je odgovoril in ji rekel: »Sveti Duh bo prišel nadte in moč Najvišjega te bo obsenčila, zato bo tudi ta sveta oseba, ki bo rojena od tebe, imenovana Božji Sin.
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.
Glej, tvoja sestrična Elizabeta je prav tako v svoji visoki starosti spočela sina, in to je šesti mesec z njo, ki je bila imenovana jalova.
37 For nothing will be impossible with God.
Kajti z Bogom nič ne bo nemogoče.«
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.
Marija je rekla: »Glej, Gospodova pomočnica; naj se mi zgodi glede na tvojo besedo.« In angel je odšel od nje.
39 And Mary arose and went in those days into the hill-country with haste, into a city of Judah.
Marija je v tistih dneh vstala in z naglico odšla v hribovito deželo, v Judovo mesto
40 And she entered the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
in vstopila v Zaharijevo hišo ter pozdravila Elizabeto.
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,
In pripetilo se je, ko je Elizabeta zaslišala Marijin pozdrav, da je dete poskočilo v njeni maternici in Elizabeta je bila izpolnjena s Svetim Duhom
42 and cried out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women; and blessed is the fruit of thy womb!
in zaklicala z močnim glasom ter rekla: »Blagoslovljena si ti med ženskami in blagoslovljen je sad tvoje maternice.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Od kod je meni to, da bi prišla k meni mati mojega Gospoda?
44 For lo! as soon as the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, the babe leaped in my womb in exultation.
Kajti glej, brž ko je glas tvojega pozdrava zazvenel v mojih ušesih, je dete v moji maternici od radosti poskočilo.
45 And blessed is she who hath believed that there will be an accomplishment of those things which were told her from the Lord.
Blagoslovljena je tista, ki je verovala, kajti izpolnile se bodo te besede, ki so ji bile povedane od Gospoda.«
46 And Mary said, My soul magnifieth the Lord,
Marija je rekla: »Moja duša poveličuje Gospoda
47 and my spirit hath exulted in God my Saviour;
in moj duh se veseli v Bogu, mojem Odrešeniku.
48 for he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaiden. For lo! from this time all generations will call me blessed;
Kajti ozrl se je na nizek stan svoje pomočnice, kajti glej, odslej me bodo vsi rodovi imenovali blagoslovljeno.
49 for the Mighty One hath done great things for me; and holy is his name;
Kajti tisti, ki je mogočen, mi je storil velike stvari in sveto je njegovo ime.
50 and his mercy is from generation to generation on them that fear him.
In njegovo usmiljenje je od roda do roda nad tistimi, ki se ga bojijo.
51 He hath wrought mightily with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the device of their heart.
S svojim laktom je pokazal moč, ponosne je razgnal v domišljiji njihovih src.
52 He hath cast down princes from thrones, and exalted men of low degree.
Mogočne je odstranil z njihovih prestolov in povišal te z nizkim položajem.
53 The hungry he hath filled with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty.
Lačne je napolnil z dobrinami, bogate pa je odpustil prazne.
54 He hath given help to Israel his servant, in remembrance of his mercy
Pomagal je svojemu služabniku Izraelu, v spomin na svoje usmiljenje,
kakor je govoril našim očetom, Abrahamu in njegovemu semenu na veke.« (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
Marija je z njo ostala približno tri mesece in se vrnila v svojo lastno hišo.
57 Now Elizabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
Torej prišel je Elizabetin polni čas, ko naj bi rodila; in rodila je sina.
58 And her neighbors and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had showed great mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her.
Njeni sosedje in njeni sorodniki so slišali, kako je Gospod nad njo izkazal veliko usmiljenje in veselili so se z njo.
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.
Pripetilo pa se je, da so na osmi dan prišli, da obrežejo otroka in poimenovali so ga Zaharija, po imenu njegovega očeta.
60 And his mother answering said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
Njegova mati pa je odgovorila in rekla: »Ne tako, temveč se bo imenoval Janez.«
61 And they said to her, There is no one of thy kindred that is called by this name.
Oni pa so ji rekli: »Nikogar v tvojem sorodstvu ni, ki je poimenovan s tem imenom.«
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him named.
In naredili so znamenja njegovemu očetu, kako bi ga on imenoval.
63 And he asked for a writing-tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled.
In prosil je za pisalno deščico ter napisal, rekoč: »Njegovo ime je Janez.« In vsi so se čudili.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue was loosed; and he spoke, blessing God.
In njegova usta so se takoj odprla in njegov jezik se je sprostil in spregovoril je ter hvalil Boga.
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.
In strah je prišel na vse, ki so prebivali naokoli njih; in vse te besede so se razglasile naokoli po vsej judejski hriboviti deželi.
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.
In vsi, ki so jih slišali, so si jih položili v svoja srca, rekoč: »Kakšne vrste otrok bo to!« In Gospodova roka je bila z njim.
67 And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
In njegov oče Zaharija je bil izpolnjen s Svetim Duhom in prerokoval, rekoč:
68 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel! for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
»Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, Izraelov Bog; kajti obiskal je in odkupil svoje ljudi
69 and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant, —
in za nas je dvignil rog rešitve duš v hiši svojega služabnika Davida,
kakor je govoril po ustih svojih svetih prerokov, ki so bili, odkar je svet nastal, (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
da bi bili mi lahko rešeni pred našimi sovražniki in iz roke vseh, ki nas sovražijo,
72 to accomplish his mercy toward our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
da opravi usmiljenje, obljubljeno našim očetom in se spomni svoje svete zaveze,
73 the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
prisege, s katero je prisegel našemu očetu Abrahamu,
74 to grant to us, that being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we might worship him without fear,
da nam bo zagotovil, da mu bomo osvobojeni iz roke svojih sovražnikov, lahko služili brez strahu,
75 in holiness and righteousness before him, all our days.
v svetosti in pravičnosti pred njim, vse dni našega življenja.
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,
Ti pa, otrok, boš imenovan prerok Najvišjega, kajti šel boš pred Gospodov obraz, da pripraviš njegove poti,
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins
da daš njegovim ljudem spoznanje o rešitvi duš z odpuščanjem njihovih grehov,
78 through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us,
po nežnem usmiljenju našega Boga; po katerem nas je obiskalo svitanje od zgoraj,
79 to give light to those sitting in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
da da svetlobo tem, ki sedijo v temi in v smrtni senci, da vodi naša stopala na pot miru.«
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit; and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.
Otrok pa je rasel in se krepil v duhu in bil je v puščavah do dneva njegove pojavitve Izraelu.
