Luke 1
1 Seeing that many did take in hand to set in order a narration of the matters that have been fully assured among us,
prathamato ye saak. si. no vaakyapracaarakaa"scaasan te. asmaaka. m madhye yadyat sapramaa. na. m vaakyamarpayanti sma
2 as they did deliver to us, who from the beginning became eye-witnesses, and officers of the Word, —
tadanusaarato. anyepi bahavastadv. rttaanta. m racayitu. m prav. rttaa. h|
3 it seemed good also to me, having followed from the first after all things exactly, to write to thee in order, most noble Theophilus,
ataeva he mahaamahimathiyaphil tva. m yaa yaa. h kathaa a"sik. syathaastaasaa. m d. r.dhapramaa. naani yathaa praapno. si
4 that thou mayest know the certainty of the things wherein thou wast instructed.
tadartha. m prathamamaarabhya taani sarvvaa. ni j naatvaahamapi anukramaat sarvvav. rttaantaan tubhya. m lekhitu. m matimakaar. sam|
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Abijah, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elisabeth;
yihuudaade"siiyaherodnaamake raajatva. m kurvvati abiiyayaajakasya paryyaayaadhikaarii sikhariyanaamaka eko yaajako haaro. nava. m"sodbhavaa ilii"sevaakhyaa
6 and they were both righteous before God, going on in all the commands and righteousnesses of the Lord blameless,
tasya jaayaa dvaavimau nirdo. sau prabho. h sarvvaaj naa vyavasthaa"sca sa. mmanya ii"svarad. r.s. tau dhaarmmikaavaastaam|
7 and they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and both were advanced in their days.
tayo. h santaana ekopi naasiit, yata ilii"sevaa bandhyaa tau dvaaveva v. rddhaavabhavataam|
8 And it came to pass, in his acting as priest, in the order of his course before God,
yadaa svaparyyaanukrame. na sikhariya ii"svaasya samak. sa. m yaajakiiya. m karmma karoti
9 according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot was to make perfume, having gone into the sanctuary of the Lord,
tadaa yaj nasya dinaparipaayyaa parame"svarasya mandire prave"sakaale dhuupajvaalana. m karmma tasya kara. niiyamaasiit|
10 and all the multitude of the people were praying without, at the hour of the perfume.
taddhuupajvaalanakaale lokanivahe praarthanaa. m kartu. m bahisti. s.thati
11 And there appeared to him a messenger of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of the perfume,
sati sikhariyo yasyaa. m vedyaa. m dhuupa. m jvaalayati taddak. si. napaar"sve parame"svarasya duuta eka upasthito dar"sana. m dadau|
12 and Zacharias, having seen, was troubled, and fear fell on him;
ta. m d. r.s. tvaa sikhariya udvivije "sa"sa"nke ca|
13 and the messenger said unto him, 'Fear not, Zacharias, for thy supplication was heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name John,
tadaa sa duutasta. m babhaa. se he sikhariya maa bhaistava praarthanaa graahyaa jaataa tava bhaaryyaa ilii"sevaa putra. m praso. syate tasya naama yohan iti kari. syasi|
14 and there shall be joy to thee, and gladness, and many at his birth shall joy,
ki nca tva. m saananda. h sahar. sa"sca bhavi. syasi tasya janmani bahava aanandi. syanti ca|
15 for he shall be great before the Lord, and wine and strong drink he may not drink, and of the Holy Spirit he shall be full, even from his mother's womb;
yato heto. h sa parame"svarasya gocare mahaan bhavi. syati tathaa draak. saarasa. m suraa. m vaa kimapi na paasyati, apara. m janmaarabhya pavitre. naatmanaa paripuur. na. h
16 and many of the sons of Israel he shall turn to the Lord their God,
san israayelva. m"siiyaan anekaan prabho. h parame"svarasya maargamaane. syati|
17 and he shall go before Him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn hearts of fathers unto children, and disobedient ones to the wisdom of righteous ones, to make ready for the Lord, a people prepared.'

18 And Zacharias said unto the messenger, 'Whereby shall I know this? for I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days?'
tadaa sikhariyo duutamavaadiit kathametad vetsyaami? yatoha. m v. rddho mama bhaaryyaa ca v. rddhaa|
19 And the messenger answering said to him, 'I am Gabriel, who have been standing near before God, and I was sent to speak unto thee, and to proclaim these good news to thee,
tato duuta. h pratyuvaaca pa"sye"svarasya saak. saadvarttii jibraayelnaamaa duutoha. m tvayaa saha kathaa. m gaditu. m tubhyamimaa. m "subhavaarttaa. m daatu nca pre. sita. h|
20 and lo, thou shalt be silent, and not able to speak, till the day that these things shall come to pass, because thou didst not believe my words, that shall be fulfilled in their season.'
kintu madiiya. m vaakya. m kaale phali. syati tat tvayaa na pratiitam ata. h kaara. naad yaavadeva taani na setsyanti taavat tva. m vaktu. mma"sakto muuko bhava|
21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and wondering at his tarrying in the sanctuary,
tadaanii. m ye ye lokaa. h sikhariyamapaik. santa te madhyemandira. m tasya bahuvilambaad aa"scaryya. m menire|
22 and having come out, he was not able to speak to them, and they perceived that a vision he had seen in the sanctuary, and he was beckoning to them, and did remain dumb.

23 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he went away to his house,
anantara. m tasya sevanaparyyaaye sampuur. ne sati sa nijageha. m jagaama|
24 and after those days, his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying —
katipayadine. su gate. su tasya bhaaryyaa ilii"sevaa garbbhavatii babhuuva
25 'Thus hath the Lord done to me, in days in which He looked upon [me], to take away my reproach among men.'

26 And in the sixth month was the messenger Gabriel sent by God, to a city of Galilee, the name of which [is] Nazareth,
apara nca tasyaa garbbhasya. sa. s.the maase jaate gaaliilprade"siiyanaasaratpure
27 to a virgin, betrothed to a man, whose name [is] Joseph, of the house of David, and the name of the virgin [is] Mary.

28 And the messenger having come in unto her, said, 'Hail, favoured one, the Lord [is] with thee; blessed [art] thou among women;'
sa gatvaa jagaada he ii"svaraanug. rhiitakanye tava "subha. m bhuuyaat prabhu. h parame"svarastava sahaayosti naarii. naa. m madhye tvameva dhanyaa|
29 and she, having seen, was troubled at his word, and was reasoning of what kind this salutation may be.
tadaanii. m saa ta. m d. r.s. tvaa tasya vaakyata udvijya kiid. r"sa. m bhaa. sa. namidam iti manasaa cintayaamaasa|
30 And the messenger said to her, 'Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God;
tato duuto. avadat he mariyam bhaya. m maakaar. sii. h, tvayi parame"svarasyaanugrahosti|
31 and lo, thou shalt conceive in the womb, and shalt bring forth a son, and call his name Jesus;
pa"sya tva. m garbbha. m dh. rtvaa putra. m praso. syase tasya naama yii"suriti kari. syasi|
32 he shall be great, and Son of the Highest he shall be called, and the Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father,

33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob to the ages; and of his reign there shall be no end.' (aiōn g165)
tathaa sa yaakuubo va. m"sopari sarvvadaa raajatva. m kari. syati, tasya raajatvasyaanto na bhavi. syati| (aiōn g165)
34 And Mary said unto the messenger, 'How shall this be, seeing a husband I do not know?'
tadaa mariyam ta. m duuta. m babhaa. se naaha. m puru. sasa"nga. m karomi tarhi kathametat sambhavi. syati?
35 And the messenger answering said to her, 'The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee, therefore also the holy-begotten thing shall be called Son of God;
tato duuto. akathayat pavitra aatmaa tvaamaa"sraayi. syati tathaa sarvva"sre. s.thasya "saktistavopari chaayaa. m kari. syati tato hetostava garbbhaad ya. h pavitrabaalako jani. syate sa ii"svaraputra iti khyaati. m praapsyati|
36 and lo, Elisabeth, thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her who was called barren;

37 because nothing shall be impossible with God.'
kimapi karmma naasaadhyam ii"svarasya|
38 And Mary said, 'Lo, the maid-servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to thy saying,' and the messenger went away from her.
tadaa mariyam jagaada, pa"sya prabheraha. m daasii mahya. m tava vaakyaanusaare. na sarvvametad gha. tataam; ananatara. m duutastasyaa. h samiipaat pratasthe|
39 And Mary having arisen in those days, went to the hill-country, with haste, to a city of Judea,
atha katipayadinaat para. m mariyam tasmaat parvvatamayaprade"siiyayihuudaayaa nagarameka. m "siighra. m gatvaa
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
sikhariyayaajakasya g. rha. m pravi"sya tasya jaayaam ilii"sevaa. m sambodhyaavadat|
41 And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe did leap in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
tato mariyama. h sambodhanavaakye ilii"sevaayaa. h kar. nayo. h pravi. s.tamaatre sati tasyaa garbbhasthabaalako nanartta| tata ilii"sevaa pavitre. naatmanaa paripuur. naa satii
42 and spake out with a loud voice, and said, 'Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb;
proccairgaditumaarebhe, yo. sitaa. m madhye tvameva dhanyaa, tava garbbhastha. h "si"su"sca dhanya. h|
43 and whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord might come unto me?
tva. m prabhormaataa, mama nive"sane tvayaa cara. naavarpitau, mamaadya saubhaagyametat|
44 for, lo, when the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, leap in gladness did the babe in my womb;
pa"sya tava vaakye mama kar. nayo. h pravi. s.tamaatre sati mamodarastha. h "si"suraanandaan nanartta|
45 and happy [is] she who did believe, for there shall be a completion to the things spoken to her from the Lord.'
yaa strii vya"svasiit saa dhanyaa, yato hetostaa. m prati parame"svarokta. m vaakya. m sarvva. m siddha. m bhavi. syati|
46 And Mary said, 'My soul doth magnify the Lord,
tadaanii. m mariyam jagaada| dhanyavaada. m pare"sasya karoti maamaka. m mana. h|
47 And my spirit was glad on God my Saviour,
mamaatmaa taarake"se ca samullaasa. m pragacchati|
48 Because He looked on the lowliness of His maid-servant, For, lo, henceforth call me happy shall all the generations,
akarot sa prabhu rdu. s.ti. m svadaasyaa durgati. m prati| pa"syaadyaarabhya maa. m dhanyaa. m vak. syanti puru. saa. h sadaa|
49 For He who is mighty did to me great things, And holy [is] His name,

50 And His kindness [is] to generations of generations, To those fearing Him,

51 He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,
svabaahubalatastena praakaa"syata paraakrama. h| mana. hkumantra. naasaarddha. m vikiiryyante. abhimaanina. h|
52 He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,
si. mhaasanagataallokaan balina"scaavarohya sa. h| pade. suucce. su lokaa. mstu k. sudraan sa. msthaapayatyapi|
53 The hungry He did fill with good, And the rich He sent away empty,
k. sudhitaan maanavaan dravyairuttamai. h paritarpya sa. h| sakalaan dhanino lokaan vis. rjed riktahastakaan|
54 He received again Israel His servant, To remember kindness,

56 And Mary remained with her about three months, and turned back to her house.
anantara. m mariyam praaye. na maasatrayam ilii"sevayaa saho. sitvaa vyaaghuyya nijanive"sana. m yayau|
57 And to Elisabeth was the time fulfilled for her bringing forth, and she bare a son,
tadanantaram ilii"sevaayaa. h prasavakaala upasthite sati saa putra. m praaso. s.ta|
58 and the neighbours and her kindred heard that the Lord was making His kindness great with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
tata. h parame"svarastasyaa. m mahaanugraha. m k. rtavaan etat "srutvaa samiipavaasina. h ku. tumbaa"scaagatya tayaa saha mumudire|
59 And it came to pass, on the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling him by the name of his father, Zacharias,
tathaa. s.tame dine te baalakasya tvaca. m chettum etya tasya pit. rnaamaanuruupa. m tannaama sikhariya iti karttumii. su. h|
60 and his mother answering said, 'No, but he shall be called John.'
kintu tasya maataakathayat tanna, naamaasya yohan iti karttavyam|
61 And they said unto her — 'There is none among thy kindred who is called by this name,'
tadaa te vyaaharan tava va. m"samadhye naamed. r"sa. m kasyaapi naasti|
62 and they were making signs to his father, what he would wish him to be called,
tata. h para. m tasya pitara. m sikhariya. m prati sa"nketya papracchu. h "si"so. h ki. m naama kaari. syate?
63 and having asked for a tablet, he wrote, saying, 'John is his name;' and they did all wonder;

64 and his mouth was opened presently, and his tongue, and he was speaking, praising God.

65 And fear came upon all those dwelling around them, and in all the hill-country of Judea were all these sayings spoken of,
tasmaaccaturdiksthaa. h samiipavaasilokaa bhiitaa evametaa. h sarvvaa. h kathaa yihuudaayaa. h parvvatamayaprade"sasya sarvvatra pracaaritaa. h|
66 and all who heard did lay them up in their hearts, saying, 'What then shall this child be?' and the hand of the Lord was with him.

67 And Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and did prophesy, saying,

68 'Blessed [is] the Lord, the God of Israel, Because He did look upon, And wrought redemption for His people,

73 An oath that He sware to Abraham our father,

74 To give to us, without fear, Out of the hand of our enemies having been delivered,
