Luke 1
1 Forsothe for manye men enforceden to ordeyne the tellyng of thingis, whiche ben fillid in vs,
Ἐπειδήπερ πολλοὶ ἐπεχείρησαν ἀνατάξασθαι διήγησιν, περὶ τῶν πεπληροφορημένων ἐν ἡμῖν πραγμάτων,
2 as thei that seyn atte the bigynnyng, and weren ministris of the word,
καθὼς παρέδοσαν ἡμῖν οἱ ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς, αὐτόπται καὶ ὑπηρέται γενόμενοι τοῦ λόγου,
3 bitaken, it is seen also to me, hauynge alle thingis diligentli bi ordre, to write to thee,
ἔδοξε κἀμοὶ παρηκολουθηκότι ἄνωθεν πᾶσιν ἀκριβῶς, καθεξῆς σοι γράψαι, κράτιστε Θεόφιλε,
4 thou best Theofile, that thou knowe the treuthe of tho wordis, of whiche thou art lerned.
ἵνα ἐπιγνῷς περὶ ὧν κατηχήθης λόγων τὴν ἀσφάλειαν.
5 In the daies of Eroude, kyng of Judee, ther was a prest, Sakarie bi name, of the sorte of Abia, and his wijf was of the douytris of Aaron, and hir name was Elizabeth.
Ἐγένετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἡρῴδου βασιλέως τῆς Ἰουδαίας, ἱερεύς τις ὀνόματι Ζαχαρίας ἐξ ἐφημερίας Ἀβιά, καὶ γυνὴ αὐτῷ ἐκ τῶν θυγατέρων Ἀαρών, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς, Ἐλισάβετ.
6 And bothe weren iust bifor God, goynge in alle the maundementis and iustifiyngis of the Lord, withouten pleynt.
Ἦσαν δὲ δίκαιοι ἀμφότεροι ἐναντίον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, πορευόμενοι ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἐντολαῖς καὶ δικαιώμασιν τοῦ ˚Κυρίου ἄμεμπτοι.
7 And thei hadden no child, for Elizabeth was bareyn, and bothe weren of grete age in her daies.
Καὶ οὐκ ἦν αὐτοῖς τέκνον, καθότι ἡ Ἐλισάβετ ἦν στεῖρα, καὶ ἀμφότεροι προβεβηκότες ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτῶν ἦσαν.
8 And it bifel, that whanne Zacarie schulde do the office of preesthod, in the ordre of his cours tofor God,
Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἱερατεύειν αὐτὸν, ἐν τῇ τάξει τῆς ἐφημερίας αὐτοῦ ἔναντι τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ,
9 aftir the custome of the preesthod, he wente forth bi lot, and entride in to the temple, to encense.
κατὰ τὸ ἔθος τῆς ἱερατείας, ἔλαχε τοῦ θυμιᾶσαι, εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὸν ναὸν τοῦ ˚Κυρίου.
10 And al the multitude of the puple was with outforth, and preiede in the our of encensyng.
Καὶ πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος ἦν τοῦ λαοῦ προσευχόμενον ἔξω τῇ ὥρᾳ τοῦ θυμιάματος.
11 And an aungel of the Lord apperide to hym, and stood on the riythalf of the auter of encense.
Ὤφθη δὲ αὐτῷ ἄγγελος ˚Κυρίου, ἑστὼς ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τοῦ θυμιάματος.
12 And Zacarie seynge was afraied, and drede fel vpon hym.
Καὶ ἐταράχθη Ζαχαρίας ἰδών, καὶ φόβος ἐπέπεσεν ἐπʼ αὐτόν.
13 And the aungel seide to hym, Zacarie, drede thou not; for thi preyer is herd, and Elizabeth, thi wijf, schal bere to thee a sone, and his name schal be clepid Joon.
Εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ ἄγγελος, “Μὴ φοβοῦ, Ζαχαρία, διότι εἰσηκούσθη ἡ δέησίς σου, καὶ ἡ γυνή σου Ἐλισάβετ γεννήσει υἱόν σοι, καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰωάννην.
14 And ioye and gladyng schal be to thee; and many schulen `haue ioye in his natyuyte.
Καὶ ἔσται χαρά σοι καὶ ἀγαλλίασις, καὶ πολλοὶ ἐπὶ τῇ γενέσει αὐτοῦ χαρήσονται.
15 For he schal be greet bifor the Lord, and he schal not drynke wyn and sidir, and he schal be fulfillid with the Hooli Goost yit of his modir wombe.
Ἔσται γὰρ μέγας ἐνώπιον τοῦ ˚Κυρίου, καὶ οἶνον καὶ σίκερα οὐ μὴ πίῃ, καὶ ˚Πνεύματος Ἁγίου πλησθήσεται ἔτι ἐκ κοιλίας μητρὸς αὐτοῦ.
16 And he schal conuerte many of the children of Israel to her Lord God;
Καὶ πολλοὺς τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἐπιστρέψει ἐπὶ ˚Κύριον, τὸν ˚Θεὸν αὐτῶν.
17 and he schal go bifor hym in the spirit and the vertu of Helie; and he schal turne the hertis of the fadris in to the sones, and men out of bileue to the prudence of iust men, to make redi a perfit puple to the Lord.
Καὶ αὐτὸς προελεύσεται ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ἐν πνεύματι καὶ δυνάμει Ἠλεία, ἐπιστρέψαι καρδίας πατέρων ἐπὶ τέκνα, καὶ ἀπειθεῖς ἐν φρονήσει δικαίων, ἑτοιμάσαι ˚Κυρίῳ λαὸν κατεσκευασμένον.”
18 And Zacarie seide to the aungel, Wherof schal Y wite this? for Y am eld, and my wijf hath gon fer in to hir daies.
Καὶ εἶπεν Ζαχαρίας πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον, “Κατὰ τί γνώσομαι τοῦτο; Ἐγὼ γάρ εἰμι πρεσβύτης, καὶ ἡ γυνή μου προβεβηκυῖα ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτῆς.”
19 And the aungel answeride, and seide to hym, For Y am Gabriel, that stonde niy bifor God; and Y am sent to thee to speke, and to euangelize to thee these thingis.
Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ἄγγελος εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Ἐγώ εἰμι Γαβριὴλ, ὁ παρεστηκὼς ἐνώπιον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, καὶ ἀπεστάλην λαλῆσαι πρὸς σὲ, καὶ εὐαγγελίσασθαί σοι ταῦτα.
20 And lo! thou schalt be doumbe, and thou schalt not mow speke til in to the dai, in which these thingis schulen be don; for thou hast not bileued to my wordis, whiche schulen be fulfillid in her tyme.
Καὶ ἰδοὺ, ἔσῃ σιωπῶν καὶ μὴ δυνάμενος λαλῆσαι, ἄχρι ἧς ἡμέρας γένηται ταῦτα, ἀνθʼ ὧν οὐκ ἐπίστευσας τοῖς λόγοις μου, οἵτινες πληρωθήσονται εἰς τὸν καιρὸν αὐτῶν.”
21 And the puple was abidynge Zacarie, and thei wondriden, that he tariede in the temple.
Καὶ ἦν ὁ λαὸς προσδοκῶν τὸν Ζαχαρίαν, καὶ ἐθαύμαζον ἐν τῷ χρονίζειν αὐτόν ἐν τῷ ναῷ.
22 And he yede out, and myyte not speke to hem, and thei knewen that he hadde seyn a visioun in the temple. And he bikenyde to hem, and he dwellide stille doumbe.
Ἐξελθὼν δὲ οὐκ ἐδύνατο λαλῆσαι αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐπέγνωσαν ὅτι ὀπτασίαν ἑώρακεν ἐν τῷ ναῷ. Καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν διανεύων αὐτοῖς, καὶ διέμενεν κωφός.
23 And it was don, whanne the daies of his office weren fulfillid, he wente in to his hous.
Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐπλήσθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τῆς λειτουργίας αὐτοῦ, ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
24 And aftir these daies Elizabeth, his wijf, conseyuede, and hidde hir fyue monethis, and seide,
Μετὰ δὲ ταύτας τὰς ἡμέρας συνέλαβεν Ἐλισάβετ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ περιέκρυβεν ἑαυτὴν μῆνας πέντε λέγουσα,
25 For so the Lord dide to me in the daies, in whiche he bihelde, to take awei my repreef among men.
ὅτι “Οὕτως μοι πεποίηκεν ˚Κύριος, ἐν ἡμέραις αἷς ἐπεῖδεν, ἀφελεῖν ὄνειδός μου ἐν ἀνθρώποις.”
26 But in the sixte moneth the aungel Gabriel was sent fro God in to a citee of Galilee, whos name was Nazareth,
Ἐν δὲ τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἕκτῳ, ἀπεστάλη ὁ ἄγγελος Γαβριὴλ ἀπὸ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ εἰς πόλιν τῆς Γαλιλαίας, ᾗ ὄνομα Ναζαρὲτ,
27 to a maidyn, weddid to a man, whos name was Joseph, of the hous of Dauid; and the name of the maidun was Marie.
πρὸς παρθένον ἐμνηστευμένην ἀνδρὶ, ᾧ ὄνομα Ἰωσὴφ, ἐξ οἴκου Δαυὶδ, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς παρθένου Μαριάμ.
28 And the aungel entride to hir, and seide, Heil, ful of grace; the Lord be with thee; blessid be thou among wymmen.
Καὶ εἰσελθὼν ὁ ἄγγελος πρὸς αὐτὴν, εἶπεν, “Χαῖρε, κεχαριτωμένη! Ὁ ˚Κύριος μετὰ σοῦ.”
29 And whanne sche hadde herd, sche was troublid in his word, and thouyte what maner salutacioun this was.
Ἡ δὲ ἐπὶ τῷ λόγῳ διεταράχθη, καὶ διελογίζετο ποταπὸς εἴη ὁ ἀσπασμὸς οὗτος.
30 And the aungel seide to hir, Ne drede thou not, Marie, for thou hast foundun grace anentis God.
Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος αὐτῇ, “Μὴ φοβοῦ, Μαριάμ, εὗρες γὰρ χάριν παρὰ τῷ ˚Θεῷ.
31 Lo! thou schalt conceyue in wombe, and schalt bere a sone, and thou schalt clepe his name Jhesus.
Καὶ ἰδοὺ, συλλήμψῃ ἐν γαστρὶ, καὶ τέξῃ υἱόν, καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ˚Ἰησοῦν.
32 This schal be greet, and he schal be clepid the sone of the Hiyeste; and the Lord God schal yeue to hym the seete of Dauid, his fadir,
Οὗτος ἔσται μέγας, καὶ Υἱὸς Ὑψίστου κληθήσεται, καὶ δώσει αὐτῷ ˚Κύριος ὁ ˚Θεὸς τὸν θρόνον Δαυὶδ, τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ,
33 and he schal regne in the hous of Jacob with outen ende, and of his rewme schal be noon ende. (aiōn g165)
καὶ βασιλεύσει ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ἰακὼβ, εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, καὶ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἔσται τέλος.” (aiōn g165)
34 And Marie seide to the aungel, On what maner schal this thing be doon, for Y knowe not man?
Εἶπεν δὲ Μαριὰμ πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον, “Πῶς ἔσται τοῦτο, ἐπεὶ ἄνδρα οὐ γινώσκω;”
35 And the aungel answeride, and seide to hir, The Hooly Goost schal come fro aboue in to thee, and the vertu of the Hiyeste schal ouerschadewe thee; and therfor that hooli thing that schal be borun of thee, schal be clepid the sone of God.
Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ἄγγελος εἶπεν αὐτῇ, “˚Πνεῦμα Ἅγιον ἐπελεύσεται ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ δύναμις Ὑψίστου ἐπισκιάσει σοι· διὸ καὶ τὸ γεννώμενον Ἅγιον κληθήσεται, Υἱὸς ˚Θεοῦ.
36 And lo! Elizabeth, thi cosyn, and sche also hath conceyued a sone in hir eelde, and this moneth is the sixte to hir that is clepid bareyn;
Καὶ ἰδοὺ, Ἐλισάβετ, ἡ συγγενίς σου, καὶ αὐτὴ συνείληφεν υἱὸν ἐν γήρει αὐτῆς, καὶ οὗτος μὴν ἕκτος ἐστὶν αὐτῇ τῇ καλουμένῃ στείρᾳ.
37 for euery word schal not be inpossible anentis God.
Ὅτι οὐκ ἀδυνατήσει παρὰ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ πᾶν ῥῆμα.”
38 And Marie seide, Lo! the handmaydyn of the Lord; be it don to me aftir thi word. And the aungel departide fro hir.
Εἶπεν δὲ Μαριάμ, “Ἰδοὺ, ἡ δούλη ˚Κυρίου· γένοιτό μοι κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου.” Καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἀπʼ αὐτῆς ὁ ἄγγελος.
39 And Marie roos vp in tho daies, and wente with haaste in to the mounteyns, in to a citee of Judee.
Ἀναστᾶσα δὲ Μαριὰμ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταύταις, ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν ὀρεινὴν μετὰ σπουδῆς, εἰς πόλιν Ἰούδα,
40 And sche entride in to the hous of Zacarie, and grette Elizabeth.
καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ζαχαρίου, καὶ ἠσπάσατο τὴν Ἐλισάβετ.
41 And it was don, as Elizabeth herde the salutacioun of Marie, the yong child in hir wombe gladide. And Elizabeth was fulfillid with the Hooli Goost,
Καὶ ἐγένετο, ὡς ἤκουσεν τὸν ἀσπασμὸν τῆς Μαρίας ἡ Ἐλισάβετ, ἐσκίρτησεν τὸ βρέφος ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπλήσθη ˚Πνεύματος Ἁγίου ἡ Ἐλισάβετ,
42 and criede with a greet vois, and seide, Blessid be thou among wymmen, and blessid be the fruyt of thi wombe.
καὶ ἀνεφώνησεν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ καὶ εἶπεν, “Εὐλογημένη σὺ ἐν γυναιξίν, καὶ εὐλογημένος ὁ καρπὸς τῆς κοιλίας σου.
43 And whereof is this thing to me, that the modir of my Lord come to me?
Καὶ πόθεν μοι τοῦτο, ἵνα ἔλθῃ ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ ˚Κυρίου μου πρὸς ἐμέ;
44 For lo! as the voice of thi salutacioun was maad in myn eeris, the yong child gladide in ioye in my wombe.
Ἰδοὺ γὰρ, ὡς ἐγένετο ἡ φωνὴ τοῦ ἀσπασμοῦ σου εἰς τὰ ὦτά μου, ἐσκίρτησεν ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει τὸ βρέφος ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ μου.
45 And blessid be thou, that hast bileued, for thilke thingis that ben seid of the Lord to thee, schulen be parfitli don.
Καὶ μακαρία ἡ πιστεύσασα ὅτι ἔσται τελείωσις τοῖς λελαλημένοις αὐτῇ παρὰ ˚Κυρίου.”
46 And Marie seide, Mi soule magnyfieth the Lord,
Καὶ εἶπεν Μαριάμ: “Μεγαλύνει ἡ ψυχή μου τὸν ˚Κύριον,
47 and my spirit hath gladid in God, myn helthe.
καὶ ἠγαλλίασεν τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐπὶ τῷ ˚Θεῷ, τῷ Σωτῆρί μου.
48 For he hath biholdun the mekenesse of his handmaidun.
Ὅτι ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ τὴν ταπείνωσιν τῆς δούλης αὐτοῦ. Ἰδοὺ γὰρ, ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν μακαριοῦσίν με πᾶσαι αἱ γενεαί.
49 For lo! of this alle generaciouns schulen seie that Y am blessid. For he that is myyti hath don to me grete thingis, and his name is hooli.
Ὅτι ἐποίησέν μοι μεγάλα ὁ δυνατός, καὶ ἅγιον τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ.
50 And his mercy is fro kynrede in to kynredes, to men that dreden hym.
‘Καὶ τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ εἰς γενεὰς καὶ γενεὰς, τοῖς φοβουμένοις αὐτόν.’
51 He made myyt in his arme, he scaterede proude men with the thouyte of his herte.
Ἐποίησεν κράτος ἐν βραχίονι αὐτοῦ, διεσκόρπισεν ὑπερηφάνους διανοίᾳ καρδίας αὐτῶν.
52 He sette doun myyti men fro sete, and enhaunside meke men.
Καθεῖλεν δυνάστας ἀπὸ θρόνων, καὶ ὕψωσεν ταπεινούς.
53 He hath fulfillid hungri men with goodis, and he hath left riche men voide.
‘Πεινῶντας ἐνέπλησεν ἀγαθῶν’, καὶ πλουτοῦντας ἐξαπέστειλεν κενούς.
54 He, hauynge mynde of his mercy, took Israel, his child;
Ἀντελάβετο Ἰσραὴλ παιδὸς αὐτοῦ, μνησθῆναι ἐλέους,
καθὼς ἐλάλησεν πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν, τῷ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.” (aiōn g165)
56 And Marie dwellide with hir, as it were thre monethis, and turnede ayen in to hir hous.
Ἔμεινεν δὲ Μαριὰμ σὺν αὐτῇ ὡς μῆνας τρεῖς, καὶ ὑπέστρεψεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτῆς.
57 But the tyme of beryng child was fulfillid to Elizabeth, and sche bare a sone.
Τῇ δὲ Ἐλισάβετ ἐπλήσθη ὁ χρόνος, τοῦ τεκεῖν αὐτήν, καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱόν.

Καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ περίοικοι καὶ οἱ συγγενεῖς αὐτῆς ὅτι ἐμεγάλυνεν ˚Κύριος τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτῆς, καὶ συνέχαιρον αὐτῇ.
59 And it was don in the eiyte dai, thei camen to circumcide the child; and thei clepiden hym Zacarie, bi the name of his fadir.
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ, ἦλθον περιτεμεῖν τὸ παιδίον, καὶ ἐκάλουν αὐτὸ ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, Ζαχαρίαν.
60 And his moder answeride, and seide, Nay, but he schal be clepid Joon.
Καὶ ἀποκριθεῖσα ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ εἶπεν, “Οὐχί, ἀλλὰ κληθήσεται Ἰωάννης.”
61 And thei seiden to hir, For no man is in thi kynrede, that is clepid this name.
Καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτὴν, ὅτι “Οὐδείς ἐστιν ἐκ τῆς συγγενείας σου, ὃς καλεῖται τῷ ὀνόματι τούτῳ.”
62 And thei bikeneden to his fadir, what he wolde that he were clepid.
Ἐνένευον δὲ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ, τὸ τί ἂν θέλοι καλεῖσθαι αὐτό.
63 And he axynge a poyntil, wroot, seiynge, Joon is his name.
Καὶ αἰτήσας πινακίδιον, ἔγραψεν λέγων, “Ἰωάννης ἐστὶν ὄνομα αὐτοῦ.” Καὶ ἐθαύμασαν πάντες.

Ἀνεῴχθη δὲ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ παραχρῆμα, καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλάλει εὐλογῶν τὸν ˚Θεόν.

Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ πάντας φόβος, τοὺς περιοικοῦντας αὐτούς, καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ ὀρεινῇ τῆς Ἰουδαίας διελαλεῖτο πάντα τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα.
66 And alle men that herden puttiden in her herte, and seiden, What maner child schal this be? For the hoond of the Lord was with hym.
Καὶ ἔθεντο πάντες οἱ ἀκούσαντες ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν, λέγοντες, “Τί ἄρα τὸ παιδίον τοῦτο ἔσται;” Καὶ γὰρ χεὶρ ˚Κυρίου ἦν μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
67 And Zacarie, his fadir, was fulfillid with the Hooli Goost, and prophesiede,

69 And he hath rerid to vs an horn of heelthe in the hous of Dauid, his child.
καὶ ἤγειρεν κέρας σωτηρίας ἡμῖν, ἐν οἴκῳ Δαυὶδ, παιδὸς αὐτοῦ,

Τὸ δὲ παιδίον ηὔξανε καὶ ἐκραταιοῦτο πνεύματι, καὶ ἦν ἐν ταῖς ἐρήμοις ἕως ἡμέρας ἀναδείξεως αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
