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].
Nagu sa tead, on paljud teised üritanud kirja panna seda, mis on täide läinud ja puudutab ka meid.
Nende jutustused põhinesid esimeste pealtnägijate ja Sõna kuulutajate tõenditel
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.
ja ka mina otsustasin, et kuna olen kõike seda algusest peale väga hoolikalt jälginud, oleks hea mõte kõigest toimunust kirja panna täpne jutustus.
4 I want you to know the truth about what you have been taught {what others have taught you}.
Tegin seda, kallis Teofilos, et sa võiksid olla kindel, et see, mida sulle õpetati, on täiesti usaldusväärne.
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.
Sel ajal kui Heroodes oli Juudamaa kuningas, oli üks preester nimega Sakarias, kes oli pärit Abija preesterlikust rühmast. Ta oli abielus Eliisabetiga, kes põlvnes samuti preester Aaronist.
6 [God considered that] both of them were righteous, because they constantly completely obeyed everything that God had commanded.
Nad mõlemad tegid, mis oli Jumala ees õige, ning järgisid hoolikalt kõiki Issanda käske ja määrusi.
7 But they had no children, because Elizabeth had been unable to bear children. Furthermore, she and her husband were very old.
Neil ei olnud lapsi, sest Eliisabet ei olnud selleks suuteline, ja nad mõlemad olid juba vanad.
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.
Kui Sakarias teenis preestrina Jumala ees oma preesterlikus rühmas,
9 Following their custom, [the other priests] chose him by lot to enter the Lord’s temple and burn incense.
valiti ta vastavalt preestrite tavale liisu heitmisega Issanda templisse sisenema ja suitsutusrohtu põletama.
10 While he was burning the incense, many people were outside [in the courtyard], praying.
Suitsutusohvri toomise ajal palvetas väljas suur hulk rahvast.
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.
Issanda ingel ilmus Sakariasele ja seisis suitsutusohvrialtari kõrval paremal pool.
12 When Zechariah saw the angel, he was startled and became very afraid.
Kui Sakarias nägi inglit, oli ta rabatud ja hakkas kartma.
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.
Aga ingel ütles talle: „Ära karda, Sakarias! Sinu palvet on kuuldud ja su naine Eliisabet sünnitab sulle poja ja sa pead talle nimeks panema Johannes.
14 He will cause you to be very happy, and many other people will also be happy because he is born.
Ta toob sulle rõõmu ja heameelt ning tema sünd rõõmustab paljusid.
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.
Ta saab suureks Issanda silmis. Ta ei joo veini ega muid alkohoolseid jooke. Teda täidab Püha Vaim juba enne sündimist.
16 He will [persuade] many people in Israel to turn away [from their sins and please] the Lord their God.
Ta pöörab paljud iisraellased tagasi Issanda, nende Jumala juurde.
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].”
Ta läheb Issanda eel Eelija vaimus ja väes, et panna isad taas oma laste peale mõtlema, ning tuua need, kes on mässumeelsed, tagasi õige arusaamise juurde, et valmistada rahvas ette Issanda jaoks.“
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]”
„Kuidas ma saan selles kindel olla?“küsis Sakarias inglilt. „Ma olen vana mees ja ka mu naine on eakas.“
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].
„Mina olen Gabriel, “vastas ingel. „Ma seisan Jumala juures ning mind saadeti sinuga rääkima ja sulle seda head uudist tooma.
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]”!
Aga kuna sa ei uskunud seda, mida ma sulle rääkisin, jääd sa tummaks ega saa kõneleda kuni määratud hetkeni, mil mu sõnad täide lähevad.“
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?”
Väljas ootas rahvas Sakariast ja imestas, miks tal templis nii kaua aega läheb.
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.
Kui ta lõpuks välja tuli, ei saanud ta nendega rääkida. Nad mõistsid, et ta oli templis näinud nägemust, sest kuigi ta suutis teha žeste, ei suutnud ta üldse rääkida.
23 When Zechariah’s time to work [as a priest in the Temple] was finished, he [left Jerusalem and] returned to his home.
Pärast seda, kui ta oma teenistusaja oli lõpetanud, läks ta koju tagasi.
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].
Mõne aja pärast jäi tema naine Eliisabet lapseootele. Ta jäi koju viieks kuuks.
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]!”
„Issand on seda mulle teinud, “ütles ta. „Nüüd on ta võtnud ära mu häbi teiste silmis.“
26 When Elizabeth had been [pregnant] [EUP] [for almost] six months, the angel Gabriel was sent by God {God sent the angel Gabriel} [again].
Eliisabeti lapseootuse kuuendal kuul saatis Jumal ingel Gabrieli noore neiu juurde, kelle nimi oli Maarja ja kes elas Galileas Naatsareti linnas.
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.
Ta oli kihlatud Joosepi-nimelise mehega.
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}!”
Ingel tervitas teda. „Sul on eriline eesõigus, “ütles ta neiule. „Issand on sinuga.“
29 But Mary was very confused [when she heard] that. She wondered what [the angel meant] by these words.
Maarja oli neist sõnadest hämmelduses ja juurdles, mida selline tervitus tähendab.
30 Then the angel said to her, “Mary, God is very pleased with you [(sg)], so do not be afraid.
„Ära karda, Maarja, “jätkas ingel, „sest Jumal on osutanud sinu suhtes armulikkust.
31 You will become pregnant and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus.
Sa jääd lapseootele ja tood ilmale poja. Sa pead talle nimeks panema Jeesus.
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 saab väga tähtsaks ja teda nimetatakse Kõigekõrgema Pojaks. Issand Jumal annab talle tema isa Taaveti trooni
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)
ja ta valitseb igavesti Jaakobi järeltulijate üle. Tema kuningriik ei lõpe iial.“ (aiōn g165)
34 Then Mary said to the angel, “I am a virgin, so how can I [have a baby]?”
„Kuidas see võimalik on?“küsis Maarja. „Ma olen alles neitsi.“
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).
Ingel vastas: „Püha Vaim tuleb sinu peale ja Kõigekõrgema vägi varjab sind. Laps, kes sünnib, on püha, ja teda hüütakse Jumala pojaks.
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!
Ja su sugulane Eliisabet on oma vanas eas samuti lapseootel. Naine, kelle kohta öeldi, et ta ei ole võimeline lapsi saama, on kuuendat kuud lapseootel.
37 [You should not be surprised at that], because God can do everything!”
Jumala jaoks ei ole miski võimatu.“
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.
„Siin ma olen, valmis olema Issanda teenija, “ütles Maarja. „Sündigu minuga just nii, nagu sa ütlesid.“Seejärel ingel lahkus tema juurest.
39 Very soon after that, Mary got ready and went quickly to a town in the highlands of Judea [district] where Zechariah lived.
Veidi aja pärast pani Maarja end valmis ja kiirustas Juudamaa mägedesse, linna, kus oli
40 She entered his house and greeted [his wife] Elizabeth.
Sakariase maja. Sisse astudes hõikas ta Eliisabetti.
41 As soon as Elizabeth heard Mary greet her, the baby moved inside [Elizabeth’s] womb. The Holy Spirit took complete control of Elizabeth,
Kohe kui Eliisabet kuulis Maarja häält, hüppas laps tema ihus rõõmu pärast. Püha Vaim täitis Eliisabeti
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!
ja ta hüüdis valju häälega: „Kui õnnistatud oled sina naiste hulgas ja kui õnnistatud on laps, kes sinust sünnib!
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!
Miks mind nõnda austatakse, et mu Issanda ema mind külastab?
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].
Kui ma kuulsin sind tervitust hüüdmas, hüppas laps mu ihus rõõmu pärast.
45 [God] is pleased with you [because] you believed that what (the Lord/God) told you would come true.”
Kui õnnelik sa oled, sest sa oled veendunud, et Issand teeb seda, mida ta sulle tõotas!“
46 Then Mary [praised God by] saying/singing: “, how I [SYN] praise (the Lord/God)!
Maarja vastas: „Kuidas ma ülistan Issandat!
47 I am happy because God is the one who saves me.
Olen väga õnnelik Jumalas, mu Päästjas,
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,
sest ta otsustas, et mina, tema teenija, olen oma tagasihoidlikust taustast hoolimata tema silmis väärtuslik. Nüüdsest peale ütlevad kõik põlvkonnad, et ma olen õnnistatud.
49 because they will hear about the things that God [MTY], the mighty one, has done for me. He [MTY] is awesome!
Kõigeväeline Jumal on teinud mulle suuri asju, tema nimi on püha.
50 He acts mercifully toward all those who respect him.
Tema halastus kestab põlvest põlve nendele, kes teda austavad.
51 He shows people that he [MTY] is very powerful. He scatters those who think proudly.
Oma suure jõuga on ta lõhkunud tükkideks need, kes ülbelt ennast targaks peavad.
52 He does not let mighty kings rule [MTY] any more, but he honors people who are oppressed (OR, humble).
Ta kisub mõjukad nende troonidelt maha ja ülendab need, kes on alandlikud.
53 He gives good things to eat to those who are hungry, but he sends away the rich people without giving them anything.
Ta annab näljastele häid asju süüa ja saadab rikkad tühje käsi minema.
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.
Ta on aidanud oma sulast Iisraeli ja pidanud teda halastuses meeles,
55 He promised to Abraham and all our other ancestors who descended from him that he would act mercifully toward them forever.” (aiōn g165)
just nagu ta meie isadele, Aabrahamile ja tema järeltulijatele, igaveseks ajaks tõotas.“ (aiōn g165)
56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months. Then she returned to her home.
Maarja jäi Eliisabeti juurde kolmeks kuus ja naasis siis koju.
57 When it was time for Elizabeth to give birth to her child, she bore a son.
Eliisabetil jõudis sünnitamise aeg kätte ja ta tõi ilmale poja.
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].
Naabrid ja sugulased kuulsid, kuidas Issand oli talle oma suurt headust osutanud, ning nad tähistasid seda koos temaga.
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.
Kaheksa päeva pärast tulid nad poissi ümber lõikama. Nad kavatsesid talle isa järgi nimeks panna Sakarias.
60 But his mother said, “No, [his name will not be Zechariah]. His name will be John!”
„Ei, “ütles Eliisabet. „Tema nimeks peab saama Johannes.“
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]!”
„Aga teie sugulaste hulgas pole kedagi, kellel see nimi oleks, “ütlesid nad talle.
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.
Žestide abil küsisid nad Sakariaselt, poisi isalt, mis nime tahaks ta oma pojale panna.
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!
Sakarias andis märku, et talle antaks midagi, mille peale kirjutada. Kõigi üllatuseks kirjutas ta: „Tema nimi on Johannes.“
64 Immediately Zechariah was able to speak again [MTY], and he praised God.
Kohe suutis ta jälle rääkida ja hakkas Jumalat ülistama.
65 All their neighbors were amazed/awestruck! They told other people who lived all over the highlands of Judea about what had happened.
Kõiki läheduses elavaid inimesi täitis juhtunu tõttu aukartus ning kuuldus sellest levis kogu Juuda mägismaal.
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].
Igaüks, kes seda kuulis, mõtles, mida see peaks tähendama. „Kes sellest poisist saab?“küsisid nad, sest oli selge, et ta oli Jumala jaoks väga eriline.
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:
Tema isa Sakarias täitus Püha Vaimuga ja kuulutas prohvetlikult:
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.
„Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, on imeline, sest ta on tulnud oma rahva juurde ja nad vabastanud.
69 He is sending us someone who will powerfully [MTY] save us, someone who is descended from [MTY] King David, who served God well.
Ta on andnud meile suure Päästja oma sulase Taaveti järglaste hulgast,
nagu ta tõotas ammu aega tagasi oma pühade prohvetite kaudu. (aiōn g165)
71 He will rescue us from our enemies, and he will save us from the power of all those who hate us.
Ta tõotas päästa meid meie vaenlaste käest, nende käest, kes meid vihkavad.
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.
Ta halastas meie isade peale ja pidas meeles oma püha lepingut −
73 That is what he strongly promised our ancestor Abraham that he would do.
tõotust, mille ta oli andnud meie isale Aabrahamile.
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,
Ta vabastab meid hirmust ja päästab meid meie vaenlaste käest,
75 that he would cause us to be completely dedicated to him, and enable us to live righteously all of our lives.”
et saaksime teda teenida ning teha kogu oma elu seda, mis on hea ja õige.
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).
Kuigi sa oled alles väike laps, hüütakse sind Kõigekõrgema prohvetiks, sest sa lähed Issanda eel valmistama talle teed ja
77 You will tell God’s people how he will forgive them and save them from being punished for their sins.
kuulutama tema rahvale teadmisi päästest pattude andestuse kaudu.
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.
Tänu Jumala hoolitsevale headusele laseb taevas meile koiduvalgust paista,
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.”
et see säraks neile, kes elavad pimeduses ja surma varjus, ning juhiks meid rahu teel.“
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.
Poiss Johannes kasvas ja sai vaimulikult tugevaks. Ta elas kõrbes, kuni jõudis kätte aeg avalikult Iisraeli teenida.
