Luke 1
1 My noble [friend] Theophilus, many people saw the things that [Jesus] did while he was with us, from the time when he started [MTY] [his ministry]. They served God [by teaching people] the message [about the Lord Jesus]. Many of those who heard what they taught wrote down for us accounts of the things that [Jesus did from the time when] he began [his ministry].
Ko so mnogi jeli opisovati rečí, ktere so popolnoma gotove med nami,
Kakor so nam izročili, kteri so od začetka sami videli in so služabniki besede bili:
3 I myself have studied these accounts carefully. So I decided that it would be good for me also to write for you [(sg)] an accurate account of these matters.
Namenil sem tudi jaz, ki sem vse od začetka na tanko pozvedel, po vrsti pisati tebi, častiti Teofil!
4 I want you to know the truth about what you have been taught {what others have taught you}.
Da spoznaš gotovost rečî, kterih si se naučil.
5 When King Herod [the Great ruled] Judea [district], there was a [Jewish] priest named Zechariah. He belonged to the [group of priests called] the Abijah group. He and his wife Elizabeth were both descended from the [first priest of Israel], Aaron.
Bil je v dnéh Heroda kralja Judejskega neki duhoven po imenu Zaharija, od reda Abijevega; in žena njegova od hčeri Aronovih, in ime jej je bilo Elizabeta.
6 [God considered that] both of them were righteous, because they constantly completely obeyed everything that God had commanded.
Bila sta pa oba pravična pred Bogom, in živela sta po vseh zapovedih in ustavah Gospodovih brez madeža.
7 But they had no children, because Elizabeth had been unable to bear children. Furthermore, she and her husband were very old.
In nista imela otrók, ker je bila Elizabeta nerodovitna, in oba sta se bila uže postarala.
8 One day [Zechariah’s] group was doing their work [in the Temple in Jerusalem], and he was serving as a priest in God’s presence.
Zgodí se pa, ko je po vrsti reda svojega služil pred Bogom,
9 Following their custom, [the other priests] chose him by lot to enter the Lord’s temple and burn incense.
Po navadi duhovstva zadene ga opravilo, naj vnide v tempelj Gospodov, da pokadí.
10 While he was burning the incense, many people were outside [in the courtyard], praying.
In vsa množiča ljudstva je bila zunej, in molila je v čas kajenja.
11 Then an angel whom God had [sent] appeared to him. The angel was standing at the right side of the place [where the priests burned] incense.
Prikaže pa mu se angelj Gospodov, stoječ na desnej strani kadilnega oltarja.
12 When Zechariah saw the angel, he was startled and became very afraid.
In Zaharija se ustraši, ko ga ugleda, in groza ga obide.
13 But the angel said to him, “Zechariah, do not be afraid! When you [(sg)] prayed [asking God for a son] (OR, [that God would send the Messiah]), God heard what you prayed. [So] your wife Elizabeth shall bear a son. You must name him John.
Angelj mu pa reče: Ne boj se, Zaharija! kajti uslišana je molitev tvoja, in žena tvoja Elizabeta ti bo rodila sina, in imenuj ime njegovo Janez.
14 He will cause you to be very happy, and many other people will also be happy because he is born.
In bo ti na radost in na veselje, in veliko se jih bo rojstvu njegovemu radovalo.
15 God will consider him to be very important. He must never drink wine or any other alcoholic drink, [in order that he will be completely dedicated to God]. He will be controlled by the Holy Spirit {The Holy Spirit will control him} from before he is born.
Kajti velik bo pred Gospodom; in vina in močne pijače ne bo pil, in napolnil se bo Duha svetega še v telesu matere svoje.
16 He will [persuade] many people in Israel to turn away [from their sins and please] the Lord their God.
In veliko sinov Izraelskih bo obrnil h Gospodu Bogu njih.
17 As [God’s] Spirit enables him [to preach] powerfully as [the prophet] Elijah did, he will precede [the Messiah]. He will cause parents [SYN] to act [peacefully] toward their children [again]. He will cause [many] people who do not obey [God to hear and obey] the wise things that righteous people [tell them]. He will do this in order to help [many] people to be ready when the Lord [comes].”
In on pojde pred njim z duhom in močjó Elijevo, da obrne srca očetov k otrokom, in nevernike k razumnosti pravičnih: da pripravi Gospodu ljudstvo gotovo.
18 Then Zechariah said to the angel, “I am very old, and my wife is also so old [that she cannot bear a child. So] (I cannot [believe] that what you [(sg)] said [will happen]!/how can I [believe] that what you [(sg)] said [will happen]?) [RHQ]”
Pa reče Zaharija angelju: Po čem bom poznal to? kajti jaz sem star, in žena moja se je postarala.
19 Then the angel said to him, “I am [God’s chief angel], Gabriel! [I do what God tells me, because] I constantly am in God’s presence! I was sent {[He] sent me} to tell you [(sg)] something good [that is going to happen to you].
In odgovarjajoč angelj, reče mu: Jaz sem Gabrijel, ki stojim pred Bogom, in poslan sem, naj s teboj govorim, in ti to veselje oznanim.
20 What I have told you will certainly happen at the time [God decides], but you did not believe what I told you. So now [God will make] you will be unable to talk until the day [your son is born]”!
In glej, mutast boš in ne boš mogel govoriti do dné, ko se bo to zgodilo; ker nisi veroval besedam mojim, ktere se bodo izpolnile o svojem času.
21 While [Zechariah and the angel] were talking, the people [in the courtyard] were waiting for Zechariah [to come out]. They wondered, “Why is he staying in the Temple for such a long time?”
In čakalo je ljudstvo Zaharija; in čudili so se, da se tako dolgo mudí v tempeljnu.
22 When Zechariah came out, he was not able to speak to the people. Because he could not talk, he made motions with his hands [to try to convey what had happened]. Then they realized that he had seen (a vision [from God]/something that [God] showed him) while he was in the Temple.
Ko pa izide, ni jim mogel govoriti? in spoznajo, da je videl prikazen v tempeljnu: in on jim je pomigaval, in ostal je mutast.
23 When Zechariah’s time to work [as a priest in the Temple] was finished, he [left Jerusalem and] returned to his home.
In zgodí se, ko se izpolnijo dnevi službe njegove, odide na dom svoj.
24 Some time later his wife Elizabeth became pregnant [EUP]. She did not leave their house for five months, [because she knew that people would laugh at her if she told them that she was pregnant].
A po teh dnéh je Elizabeta žena njegova spočela, in skrivala se je pet mesecev, govoreč:
25 But she thought, “God has enabled me to become pregnant. He has pitied me and I will no longer be ashamed [because I have no children]!”
Tako mi je storil Gospod v dnéh, ko se je ozrl na me, da odvzeme oponos moj med ljudmí.
26 When Elizabeth had been [pregnant] [EUP] [for almost] six months, the angel Gabriel was sent by God {God sent the angel Gabriel} [again].
A šesti mesec pošlje Bog angelja Gabrijela v mesto Galilejsko, kteremu je ime Nazaret,
27 [This time] he went to Nazareth [town] in Galilee [district], to a virgin whose name was Mary. It had been {[Her parents] had} promised that she would marry a man named Joseph, who was descended from [King] David.
K devici zaročenej možu, kteremu je bilo ime Jožef, iz hiše Davidove; in devici je bilo ime Marija.
28 The angel greeted her and said, “(The Lord/God) is with you [(sg)] and you will be greatly blessed {[has decided to] greatly bless you}!”
In angelj vnide k njej, in reče: Zdrava, z milostjo obdarovana! Gospod je s teboj; blagoslovljena si ti med ženami.
29 But Mary was very confused [when she heard] that. She wondered what [the angel meant] by these words.
Ona pa, ko ga ugleda, prestraši se od besede njegove, in premišljevala je, kakošen bi bil ta pozdrav.
30 Then the angel said to her, “Mary, God is very pleased with you [(sg)], so do not be afraid.
Pa jej angelj reče; Ne boj se, Marija! našla si namreč milost pri Bogu.
31 You will become pregnant and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus.
In glej, spočela boš v telesu, in rodila boš sina, in imenuj ime njegovo Jezus.
32 He will become great. He will be called {[People will] call him} (the Son of God/the man who is also God). God, the Lord, will make him a king [MTY] as his ancestor [King] David was.
Ta bo velik, in imenoval se bo sin najvišega; in dal mu bo Gospod Bog prestol Davida očeta njegovega,
33 He will be the King of [the] Jews, the descendants [MTY] of [your ancestor] Jacob, forever. He will rule as king forever!” (aiōn g165)
In kraljeval bo v hiši Jakobovej vekomaj, in kraljestvu njegovemu ne bo konca. (aiōn g165)
34 Then Mary said to the angel, “I am a virgin, so how can I [have a baby]?”
Marija pa reče angelju: Kako bo to, ko moža ne poznam?
35 The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come to you; the power of God [MTY/EUP] will overshadow you [and enable you to become pregnant]. So the child [you will] bear will be completely set apart {give himself completely} to obey God, and he will be called {[people] will say that he is} (the Son of God/the man who is also God).
In odgovarjajoč angelj, reče jej; Sveti Duh bo prišel na te, in moč najvišega te bo obsenčila; za to se bo sveto, ktero se bo rodilo iz tebe, imenovalo sin Božji.
36 [I also need to tell you something else]. Your cousin Elizabeth is very old, and it was thought {[people] said} that she could not bear any children. But she has been [pregnant] [EUP] [for almost] six months, and will bear a son!
In glej, Elizabeta teta tvoja, tudi ona je spočela sina v starosti svojej; in ta mesec jej je šesti, njej, ki jo imenujejo nerodovitno:
37 [You should not be surprised at that], because God can do everything!”
Ker ne bo nobene besede pri Bogu, ktera se ne bi mogla izpolniti.
38 Then Mary said, “All right, I want to serve (the Lord/God), so may what you [(sg)] have said about me come true!” Then the angel left her.
Marija pa reče: Glej, dekla sem Gospodova; zgôdi mi se po besedi tvojej. In angelj odide od nje.
39 Very soon after that, Mary got ready and went quickly to a town in the highlands of Judea [district] where Zechariah lived.
Vstavši pa Marija v té dni, odide jadrno na gorenjo stran v mesto Judovo.
40 She entered his house and greeted [his wife] Elizabeth.
In vnide v hišo Zaharijevo, in pozdravi Elizabeto.
41 As soon as Elizabeth heard Mary greet her, the baby moved inside [Elizabeth’s] womb. The Holy Spirit took complete control of Elizabeth,
In zgodí se, ko sliši Elizabeta pozdrav Marijin, zaigra dete v telesu njenem; in Elizabeta se napolni Duha svetega,
42 and she said loudly [to Mary], “[God] has blessed you [more than] he has blessed [any other] woman, and [he has] blessed the child you will bear!
In zavpije z močnim glasom, in reče: Blagoslovljena si ti med ženami, in blagoslovljen je sad telesa tvojega.
43 (I am not worthy that [God would allow you] to visit me!/Why is [God allowing you] to visit me?) [RHQ] You will be the mother of my Lord!
In odkod meni to, da je prišla mati Gospoda mojega k meni?
44 [I realize this because] as soon as I heard you greet me, the baby inside my womb moved because he was so happy [that you had come].
Kajti glej, ko je prišel glas pozdrava tvojega v ušesa moja, zaigralo je dete radostno v telesu mojem.
45 [God] is pleased with you [because] you believed that what (the Lord/God) told you would come true.”
In blagor jej, ktera je verovala; kajti zgodilo se bo, kar jej je rekel Gospod.
46 Then Mary [praised God by] saying/singing: “, how I [SYN] praise (the Lord/God)!
Pa reče Marija: Duša moja poveličuje Gospoda,
47 I am happy because God is the one who saves me.
In duh moj se je oveselil v Bogu, zveličarji mojem:
48 I was only his lowly servant girl, but he did not forget me. So from now on, everyone will say that God was pleased with me,
Da se je ozrl na ponižanje dekle svoje. Kajti glej, odslej me bodo blagrovali vsi rodovi:
49 because they will hear about the things that God [MTY], the mighty one, has done for me. He [MTY] is awesome!
Ker mi je storil velike rečí on, ki je mogočen, in ime njegovo sveto;
50 He acts mercifully toward all those who respect him.
In usmiljenje njegovo od roda do roda tistim, kteri se ga bojé.
51 He shows people that he [MTY] is very powerful. He scatters those who think proudly.
Pokazal je moč z roko svojo: razkropil je ošabne v mislih srca njih;
52 He does not let mighty kings rule [MTY] any more, but he honors people who are oppressed (OR, humble).
Vrgel je mogočne s prestola, in povišal je ponižne.
53 He gives good things to eat to those who are hungry, but he sends away the rich people without giving them anything.
Lačne je napolnil z blagom, in bogate je odpravil prazne.
54 And now he has remembered what he promised. So he has helped me and all the other people of [MTY] Israel who serve him.
Sprejel je Izraela hlapca svojega, da se spomene usmiljenja svojega.
55 He promised to Abraham and all our other ancestors who descended from him that he would act mercifully toward them forever.” (aiōn g165)
(Kakor je govoril očetom našim, ) Abrahamu in semenu njegovemu na vekomaj. (aiōn g165)
56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months. Then she returned to her home.
Prebila je pa Marija ž njo kake tri mesece; in vrne se na dom svoj.
57 When it was time for Elizabeth to give birth to her child, she bore a son.
A Elizabeti se izpolni čas, da porodí, in rodí sina.
58 Her neighbors and relatives heard how (the Lord/God) had greatly blessed her [by enabling her to bear a child], so they were happy along with [Elizabeth].
In sosedje in sorodniki njeni zaslišijo, da je pokazal Gospod veliko usmiljenje svoje na njej; in radovali so se ž njo.
59 Seven days later they gathered together for the [ceremony for] circumcising the baby [to show that he belonged to God]. They wanted to give the baby the same name as his father, Zechariah.
In zgodí se osmi dan, da pridejo deteta obrezovat; in klicali so ga po imenu očeta njegovega, Zaharija.
60 But his mother said, “No, [his name will not be Zechariah]. His name will be John!”
Ali odgovarjajoč mati njegova, reče: Ne, nego imenoval se bo Janez.
61 [So] they said to her, “[John] is not the name of any of your [(dl)] relatives, [so you(dl) should not give him that name]!”
In rekó jej: Nikogar ni v rodovini tvojej, da bi mu bilo tako ime.
62 Then they made motions with their hands to Zechariah, [for him] to indicate what name [he] wanted to be given {to give} to his son.
In pomigavali so očetu njegovemu, kako hoče, da bi ga imenovali.
63 [So] he signaled that they [should give him] a tablet [to write on. When they gave him one], he wrote [on it], “His name is John.” All those [who were there] were surprised!
In izprosivši tablico, napiše, govoreč: Janez mu je ime. In vsi se začudijo.
64 Immediately Zechariah was able to speak again [MTY], and he praised God.
In odprla so se usta njegova pri tej priči in jezik njegov, in govoril je, hvaleč Boga.
65 All their neighbors were amazed/awestruck! They told other people who lived all over the highlands of Judea about what had happened.
In strah obide vse njih sosede; in po vsej gorenjej Judeji se razglasé vse te reči.
66 Everyone who heard about it kept thinking about it. They were saying, “We wonder what will this child do [for God when] he [grows up] [RHQ]!” They wondered that because [from what had happened they were sure that] God would be helping that child [SYN] [in a powerful way].
In vsi, kteri jih slišijo, položé jih v srce svoje, govoreč: Kaj neki bo iz tega otroka? In roka Gospodova je bila ž njim.
67 [After] Zechariah’s [son was born], Zechariah was completely directed by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit completely directed Zechariah} as he spoke these words that came from God:
In Zaharija oče njegov se napolni Duha svetega, in prerokuje, govoreč:
68 “Praise the Lord, the God whom we(inc) people of Israel worship, because he has come to set us, his people, free from our enemies.
Blagoslovljen Gospod Bog Izraelov, da je obiskal in odrešil ljudstvo svoje;
69 He is sending us someone who will powerfully [MTY] save us, someone who is descended from [MTY] King David, who served God well.
In nam povzdignil rog zveličanja v hiši Davida hlapca svojega,
(Kakor je govoril z ustmi svetih prerokov svojih, ki so bili od nekedaj: ) (aiōn g165)
71 He will rescue us from our enemies, and he will save us from the power of all those who hate us.
Da nas bo rešil sovražnikov naših in iz rok vseh, kteri nas mrzé:
72 He will do this because he has not forgotten what he promised our ancestors; he made an agreement that he would act mercifully to us, their descendants.
Da storí usmiljenje očetom našim, in se spomene svete zaveze svoje,
73 That is what he strongly promised our ancestor Abraham that he would do.
Prisege, ktero je prisegel Abrahamu očetu našemu, da nam bo dal,
74 God told him that we would be rescued {he would rescue us} from the power of our enemies, that he would enable us to serve him without being afraid,
Da mu, rešeni iz rok sovražnikov svojih, brez straha služimo,
75 that he would cause us to be completely dedicated to him, and enable us to live righteously all of our lives.”
V svetosti in pravičnosti pred njim vse svoje žive dní.
76 [Then Zechariah said this to] his little son: “My child, you will be called {people will say that you are} a prophet whom God [MTY/EUP] has sent; you will begin your work before (the Lord/Messiah) comes; you will prepare people so that they will be ready for him. (OR, you will begin your work before the Messiah comes).
In ti, otrok, imenoval se boš prerok najvišega; kajti šel boš pred obličjem Gospodovim, da mu pripraviš pot;
77 You will tell God’s people how he will forgive them and save them from being punished for their sins.
In daš razum zveličanja ljudstvu njegovemu za odpuščanje njih grehov,
78 Our God will do that because he is very kind to us. Just like a new day begins when the sun rises [MET], God will do that new thing for us when the Messiah comes to us from heaven.
Po prisrčnem usmiljenji Boga našega, po kterem nas je obiskal vzhod z vižave:
79 People who do not know God [MET] are like those who sit in the darkness. They are afraid [MTY] that they will soon die. But when the Messiah tells us God’s message, it will be like causing such people to see a bright light. He will guide us [SYN] so that we will be living peacefully.”
Da obsije tiste, kteri sedé v temi in smrtnej senci; da naravná noge naše na pot mirú.
80 [Later], Zechariah’s son grew up and became spiritually strong. Then he lived in a desolate region until he began to preach to the Israeli people.
A dete je rastlo in se krepčalo v duhu; in bilo je v puščavah do dné, ko se pokaže Izraelu.
