Luuka 1
1 Juba mitmed on võtnud ette koostada ülevaadet neist asjust, mis meie seas on täide viidud,
Since many have undertaken to compose a history of the things that are fully believed among us,
2 kooskõlas sellega, kuidas pealtnägijad ja sulased need on meile edasi andnud.
even as they were delivered to us by those who were, from the beginning, eye-witnesses and ministers of the word;
3 Nõnda olen minagi otsustanud, kuna ma olen algusest peale kõik täpselt järele uurinud, kirjutada korralik ülevaade sulle, kõrgesti austatud Teofilos,
it seemed good to me also, having obtained exact information of all things from the very first, to write them in order for you, most excellent Theophilus,
4 et sa teaksid, kui usaldusväärne on sulle antud õpetus.
that you might know the certainty of the things in which you have been instructed.
5 Juuda kuninga Heroodese ajal elas Sakariase nimeline preester, Abija teenistuskorrast. Tema naine oli Aaroni järeltulija ja naise nimi oli Eliisabet.
There was, in the days of Herod the king of Judea, a certain priest, named Zachariah, of the class of Abijah; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
6 Nad mõlemad olid õiged Jumala silmis, elades laitmatult kõigis Issanda käskudes ja korraldustes.
They were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord, blameless.
7 Aga neil ei olnud last, sest Eliisabet oli viljatu, ja nad mõlemad olid eakad.
And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.
8 Kord aga, kui Sakarias oli oma teenistuskorra ajal preestritalituses Jumala ees,
It came to pass, while he was officiating as priest before God, in the order of his class, that,
9 langes talle liisk minna preestrite kombe kohaselt Issanda templisse viirukit suitsutama.
according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense, when he went into the temple of the Lord.
10 Ja kui viiruki suitsutamise aeg saabus, palvetas kokku tulnud rahvahulk väljas.
And all the multitude of the people were praying without, at the time of incense.
11 Siis ilmus talle Issanda ingel, seistes suitsutusaltari paremal pool.
And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Teda nähes Sakarias ehmus ja teda valdas hirm.
And Zachariah was troubled at the sight, and fear fell upon him.
13 Kuid ingel ütles talle: „Ära karda, Sakarias, sest su palvet on kuuldud. Su naine Eliisabet sünnitab sulle poja, ja sa paned talle nimeks Johannes.
But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachariah; for your prayer is heard, and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
14 Sul on temast rõõmu ja hõiskamist ning paljud rõõmustavad tema sündimisest,
And you shall have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15 sest ta saab suureks Issanda silmis. Ta ei tohi juua veini ega teisi kääritatud jooke, ja ta täidetakse Püha Vaimuga juba enne sündimist emaihus.
For he shall be great before the Lord; and he shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb.
16 Ta pöörab palju Iisraeli rahvast tagasi Issanda, nende Jumala poole.
And many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
17 Ta kõnnib Issanda ees Eelija vaimus ja väes, et pöörata vanemate südamed nende laste poole ja sõnakuulmatud õigete tarkusse, et valmistada rahvas ette Issanda jaoks.“
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient, by the wisdom of the just, in order to make ready for the Lord a prepared people.
18 Sakarias küsis inglilt: „Kuidas ma saan selles kindel olla? Ma olen juba vana mees ja mu nainegi on eakas.“
And Zachariah said to the angel: By what sign shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife is advanced in years.
19 Ingel vastas talle: „Mina olen Gaabriel, kes seisab Jumala ees, ja mind on läkitatud sinuga rääkima ja kuulutama sulle seda rõõmusõnumit.
And the angel answered and said to him: I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God; and I am sent to speak to you, and to announce to you this good news.
20 Nüüdsest jääd sa tummaks ega saa rääkida päevani, mil need asjad sünnivad, sest sa ei uskunud mu sõnu, mis lähevad täide määratud ajal.“
And behold, you shall be dumb and not able to speak, till the day in which these things shall take place, because you did not believe my words, which shall be fulfilled in their proper time.
21 Samal ajal ootas rahvas Sakariast ja pani imeks, et ta nii kaua templis viibib.
And the people were waiting for Zachariah, and they wondered that he stayed so long in the temple.
22 Kui ta lõpuks välja tuli, siis ei saanud ta nendega rääkida. Nad mõistsid, et ta oli templis näinud nägemust, sest ta viipas neile käega, kuid ei suutnud rääkida.
But when he came out, he was not able to speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them, and remained speechless.
23 Kui Sakariase teenistuskord läbi sai, läks ta koju.
And it came to pass, when the days of his service were completed, that he departed to his own house.
24 Mõne aja pärast jäi ta naine Eliisabet lapseootele ja tõmbus viieks kuuks üksindusse. Ta ütles:
And after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and kept herself retired for five months, saying:
25 „Nõnda on Issand mulle neil päevil teinud, et ta näitas mulle oma soosingut ning võttis ära mu häbi inimeste ees.“
Thus has the Lord dealt with me in the days in which he has looked with regard upon me, to take away my reproach among men.
26 Kuue kuu pärast läkitas Jumal ingel Gaabrieli Naatsareti linna Galileas,
And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 neitsi juurde, kelle nimi oli Maarja. Maarja oli kihlatud Joosepiga, kes põlvnes Taaveti soost.
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.
28 Gaabriel läks tema juurde ja ütles: „Ole tervitatud, sa armuleidnu! Issand on sinuga!“
And the angel came into her presence, and said: Hail, graciously accepted: the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women.
29 Maarja kohkus väga neist sõnadest ja mõtles, mida see tervitus võiks tähendada.
And she was perplexed at his words, and reasoned, what this salutation could mean.
30 Aga ingel ütles talle: „Ära karda, Maarja, sest sa oled leidnud armu Jumala silmis!
And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary; for you have found favor with God.
31 Sa jääd lapseootele ja sünnitad poja ja paned talle nimeks Jeesus.
And behold, you shall conceive and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.
32 Tema saab suureks ja teda kutsutakse Kõigekõrgema Pojaks ning Issand Jumal annab talle tema esiisa Taaveti trooni.
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;
and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
34 Maarja küsis inglilt: „Kuidas see võimalik on, kui ma olen neitsi?“
But Mary said to the angel: How shall this be, since I know not a man?
35 Ingel vastas talle: „Püha Vaim tuleb sinu peale ja Kõigekõrgema vägi katab sind. Seepärast on laps, kes sinust sünnib, Püha, ja teda kutsutakse Jumala Pojaks.
And the angel answered and said to her: The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; for which reason, also, that which is begotten, being holy, shall be called the Son of God.
36 Isegi su sugulane Eliisabet on pojaootel oma vanas eas ja see on kuues kuu temal, keda öeldi olevat viljatu.
And behold, Elizabeth your kinswoman, even she has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren;
37 Sest Jumala käes ei ole ükski asi võimatu.“
for nothing shall be impossible with God.
38 Maarja ütles: „Mina olen Issanda teenija, sündigu mulle nii, nagu sa ütlesid!“Ja ingel läks tema juurest ära.
And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word. And the angel departed from her.
39 Neil päevil asus Maarja teele ja ruttas mäestikku Juuda linna.
And Mary arose in those days, and went with haste into the mountainous country, into a city of Judah;
40 Ta läks Sakariase majja ja tervitas Eliisabetti.
and she came into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
41 Kui Eliisabet kuulis Maarja tervitust, hüppas laps tema üsas ja Eliisabet sai täis Püha Vaimu.
And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, that the babe in her womb leaped for joy.
42 Ta hüüdis valju häälega: „Õnnistatud oled sina naiste seas ja õnnistatud on laps, keda sa kannad!
And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke with a loud voice, and said: Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
43 Aga miks saab mulle osaks selline arm, et mu Issanda ema tuleb minu juurde?
And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Niipea kui su tervituse hääl mu kõrvu kostis, hüppas laps mu ihus rõõmu pärast.
For, behold, when the voice of your salutation sounded in my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.
45 Õnnistatud on see, kes on uskunud, et Issand täidab oma tõotused, mis ta on lubanud!“
And blessed is she who believed; for there shall be a fulfillment of the things which were spoken to her from the Lord.
46 Maarja ütles: „Mu hing ülistab Issandat
And Mary said: My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 ja mu vaim hõiskab Jumalas, minu Päästjas,
and my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior;
48 sest ta on pannud tähele oma sulase alandlikku olekut. Siitpeale hüüavad mind õnnistatuks kõik sugupõlved,
for he has looked upon the lowly condition of his handmaid. For, behold, from this time, all generations shall call me blessed;
49 sest mulle on suuri asju teinud Vägev. Tema nimi on püha,
for He that is Mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name:
50 tema halastus ulatub nendeni, kes teda kardavad, sugupõlvest sugupõlveni.
and his mercy is from generation to generation upon those who fear him.
51 Ta on teinud vägevaid tegusid oma käega, ta on pillutanud laiali need, kes on uhked oma mõtetes.
He has done mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in the understanding of their hearts.
52 Ta on tõuganud maha valitsejad aujärgedelt ja ülendanud alandlikke.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the lowly.
53 Näljased on ta täitnud heade andidega, ent rikkad saatnud tühjalt minema.
He has filled the hungry with good things, but the rich he has sent empty away.
54 Ta on kandnud hoolt oma sulase Iisraeli eest, ja osutanud halastust,
He has helped Israel his servant, (as he spoke to our fathers, )
55 nõnda nagu ta on lubanud meie esivanematele, Aabrahamile ja tema järeltulijatele igavesti.“ (aiōn g165)
by remembering his mercy to Abraham and to his posterity forever. (aiōn g165)
56 Maarja jäi Eliisabeti juurde umbes kolmeks kuuks ja pöördus siis tagasi koju.
And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
57 Kui Eliisabetil tuli aeg sünnitada, tõi ta ilmale poja.
Now the time for Elizabeth to be delivered had fully come; and she gave birth to a son.
58 Tema naabrid ja sugulased kuulsid, et Issand oli osutanud talle suurt halastust, ja nad rõõmustasid koos temaga.
And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had showed great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.
59 Nad tulid kaheksandal päeval lapse ümberlõikamisele ja tahtsid panna talle tema isa nime Sakarias.
And it came to pass, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they called him by the name of his father, Zachariah.
60 Kuid lapse ema ütles: „Ei, tema nimi peab olema Johannes!“
And his mother answered and said: Not so: but he shall be called John.
61 Nad ütlesid talle: „Su suguvõsas pole kedagi sellenimelist!“
And they said to her: There is no one among your relatives that is called by this name.
62 Ja nad viipasid lapse isale, küsides, mis nime tema tahab lapsele panna.
And they made signs to his father, to know what he wished him to be called.
63 Sakarias küsis tahvlit ning kirjutas kõigi imestuseks: „Tema nimi on Johannes!“
And having asked for a writing tablet, he wrote, saying: His name is John. And they were all astonished.
64 Samal hetkel pääsesid ta keelepaelad valla ja ta hakkas rääkima, kiites Jumalat.
And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue was loosed, and he spoke, and praised God.
65 Aukartus valdas kõiki naabreid ja neist asjust räägiti kogu Juuda mägismaal.
And fear came on all that dwelt round about them; and all these things were talked of everywhere throughout the mountainous country of Judea.
66 Kõik, kes sellest kuulsid, imestasid ja küsisid: „Mis küll saab sellest lapsest?“Sest Issanda käsi oli temaga.
And all that heard them, laid them up in their hearts, and said: What, then, will this child be? And the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 Lapse isa Sakarias sai täis Püha Vaimu ja prohveteeris:
And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying:
68 „Kiidetud olgu Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, et ta on tulnud oma rahva hulka ja nad lunastanud.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people;
69 Ta on meile üles tõstnud päästesarve oma sulase Taaveti soost,
and he has raised up for us, in the house of David his servant, a horn of salvation,
(as he spoke by the mouth of all his holy prophets of ancient times, ) (aiōn g165)
71 pääste meie vaenlaste käest ja kõigi vihameeste käest,
salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
72 et armu anda meie vanematele ja pidada meeles oma püha lepingut,
in order to show the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
73 vannet, mille ta on vandunud meie esiisale Aabrahamile:
the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
74 päästa meid meie vaenlaste käest ja lubada meil teda kartmatult teenida
that he would grant to us, that being delivered from the hands of our enemies, we might serve him without fear,
75 pühaduses ja õigluses tema ees kõik meie elupäevad.
in holiness and righteousness before him, all our days.
76 Ja sind, minu laps, hüütakse Kõigekõrgema prohvetiks, sest sa lähed Issanda ees temale teed valmistama,
And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High; for you shall go before the face of the Lord, to make ready his ways,
77 et anda tema rahvale teada päästest nende pattude andeksandmises,
by giving to his people the knowledge of salvation in the remission of their sins,
78 meie Jumala südamliku halastuse läbi, millega meile tuleb päikesetõus taevast,
through the tender mercies of our God; by which the dawn from on high has visited us,
79 et paista nende peale, kes elavad pimeduses ja surma varjus ja juhtida meie jalgu rahuteele.“
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, by guiding our feet in the way of peace.
80 Aga laps kasvas ja sai tugevaks vaimus. Ta elas kõrbes selle päevani, mil ta astus avalikult Iisraeli ette.
And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.
