Lucas 1
1 Yamang marami ang nagpilit mag-ayos ng isang kasaysayan noong mga bagay na naganap sa gitna natin,
Since many have undertaken to compose a history of the things that are fully believed among us,
2 Alinsunod sa ipinatalos sa atin nilang buhat sa pasimula ay mga saksing nangakakakita at mga ministro ng salita,
even as they were delivered to us by those who were, from the beginning, eye-witnesses and ministers of the word;
3 Ay minagaling ko naman, pagkasiyasat na lubos ng pangyayari ng lahat ng mga bagay mula nang una, na isulat sa iyong sunodsunod, kagalanggalang na Teofilo;
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 Upang mapagkilala mo ang katunayan tungkol sa mga bagay na itinuro sa iyo.
that you might know the certainty of the things in which you have been instructed.
5 Nagkaroon nang mga araw ni Herodes, hari sa Judea, ng isang saserdoteng ang ngala'y Zacarias, sa pulutong ni Abias: at ang naging asawa niya ay isa sa mga anak na babae ni Aaron, at ang kaniyang ngala'y Elisabet.
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 At sila'y kapuwa matuwid sa harap ng Dios, na nagsisilakad na walang kapintasan sa lahat ng mga utos at mga palatuntunan ng Panginoon.
They were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord, blameless.
7 At wala silang anak, sapagka't baog si Elisabet, at sila'y kapuwa may pataw ng maraming taon.
And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.
8 Nangyari nga, na samantalang ginaganap niya ang pagkasaserdote sa harapan ng Dios ayon sa kapanahunan ng kaniyang pulutong,
It came to pass, while he was officiating as priest before God, in the order of his class, that,
9 Alinsunod sa kaugalian ng tungkuling pagkasaserdote, ay naging palad niya ang pumasok sa templo ng Panginoon at magsunog ng kamangyan.
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 At ang buong karamihan ng mga tao ay nagsisipanalangin sa labas sa oras ng kamangyan.
And all the multitude of the people were praying without, at the time of incense.
11 At napakita sa kaniya ang isang anghel ng Panginoon, na nakatayo sa dakong kanan ng dambana ng kamangyan.
And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
12 At nagulumihanan si Zacarias, pagkakita niya sa kaniya, at dinatnan siya ng takot.
And Zachariah was troubled at the sight, and fear fell upon him.
13 Datapuwa't sinabi sa kaniya ng anghel, Huwag kang matakot, Zacarias: sapagka't dininig ang daing mo, at ang asawa mong si Elisabet ay manganganak sa iyo ng isang anak na lalake, at tatawagin mong Juan ang kaniyang pangalan.
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 At magkakaroon ka ng ligaya at galak; at marami ang maliligaya sa pagkapanganak sa kaniya.
And you shall have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15 Sapagka't siya'y magiging dakila sa paningin ng Panginoon, at siya'y hindi iinom ng alak ni matapang na inumin; at siya'y mapupuspos ng Espiritu Santo, mula pa sa tiyan ng kaniyang ina.
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 At marami sa mga anak ni Israel, ay papagbabaliking-loob niya sa Panginoon na kanilang Dios.
And many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
17 At siya'y lalakad sa unahan ng kaniyang mukha na may espiritu at kapangyarihan ni Elias, upang papagbaliking-loob ang mga puso ng mga ama sa mga anak, at ang mga suwail ay magsilakad sa karunungan ng mga matuwid, upang ipaglaan ang Panginoon ng isang bayang nahahanda.
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 At sinabi ni Zacarias sa anghel, Sa ano malalaman ko ito? sapagka't ako'y matanda na, at ang aking asawa ay may pataw ng maraming taon.
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 At pagsagot ng anghel ay sinabi sa kaniya, Ako'y si Gabriel, na nananayo sa harapan ng Dios; at ako'y sinugo upang makipagusap sa iyo, at magdala sa iyo nitong mabubuting balita.
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 At narito, mapipipi ka at hindi ka makapangungusap, hanggang sa araw na mangyari ang mga bagay na ito, sapagka't hindi ka sumampalataya sa aking mga salita, na magaganap sa kanilang kapanahunan.
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 At hinihintay ng bayan si Zacarias, at nanganggigilalas sila sa kaniyang pagluluwat sa loob ng templo.
And the people were waiting for Zachariah, and they wondered that he stayed so long in the temple.
22 At nang lumabas siya, ay hindi siya makapagsalita sa kanila: at hininagap nila na siya'y nakakita ng isang pangitain sa templo: at siya'y nagpatuloy ng pakikipagusap sa kanila, sa pamamagitan ng mga hudyat, at nanatiling pipi.
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 At nangyari, na nang maganap na ang mga araw ng kaniyang paglilingkod, siya'y umuwi sa kaniyang bahay.
And it came to pass, when the days of his service were completed, that he departed to his own house.
24 At pagkatapos ng mga araw na ito ay naglihi ang kaniyang asawang si Elisabet; at siya'y lumigpit ng limang buwan, na nagsasabi,
And after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and kept herself retired for five months, saying:
25 Ganito ang ginawa ng Panginoon sa akin sa mga araw nang ako'y tingnan niya, upang alisin ang aking pagkaduwahagi sa gitna ng mga tao.
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 Nang ikaanim na buwan nga'y sinugo ng Dios ang anghel Gabriel sa isang bayan ng Galilea, ngala'y Nazaret,
And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 Sa isang dalagang magaasawa sa isang lalake, na ang kaniyang ngala'y Jose, sa angkan ni David; at Maria ang pangalan ng dalaga.
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 At pumasok siya sa kinaroroonan niya, at sinabi, Magalak ka, ikaw na totoong pinakamamahal, ang Panginoon ay sumasa iyo.
And the angel came into her presence, and said: Hail, graciously accepted: the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women.
29 Datapuwa't siya'y totoong nagulumihanan sa sabing ito, at iniisip sa kaniyang sarili kung anong bati kaya ito.
And she was perplexed at his words, and reasoned, what this salutation could mean.
30 At sinabi sa kaniya ng anghel, Huwag kang matakot, Maria: sapagka't nakasumpong ka ng biyaya sa Dios.
And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary; for you have found favor with God.
31 At narito, maglilihi ka sa iyong tiyan, at manganganak ka ng isang lalake, at tatawagin mo ang kaniyang pangalang JESUS.
And behold, you shall conceive and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.
32 Siya'y magiging dakila, at tatawaging Anak ng Kataastaasan: at sa kaniya'y ibibigay ng Panginoong Dios ang luklukan ni David na kaniyang ama:
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;
33 At siya'y maghahari sa angkan ni Jacob magpakailan man; at hindi magkakawakas ang kaniyang kaharian. (aiōn g165)
and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
34 At sinabi ni Maria sa anghel, Paanong mangyayari ito, sa ako'y hindi nakakakilala ng lalake?
But Mary said to the angel: How shall this be, since I know not a man?
35 At sumagot ang anghel, at sinabi sa kaniya, Bababa sa iyo ang Espiritu Santo, at lililiman ka ng kapangyarihan ng Kataastaasan: kaya naman ang banal na bagay na ipanganganak ay tatawaging Anak ng Dios.
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 At narito, si Elisabet na iyong kamaganak, ay naglihi rin naman ng isang anak na lalake sa kaniyang katandaan; at ito ang ikaanim na buwan niya, na dati'y tinatawag na baog.
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 Sapagka't walang salitang mula sa Dios na di may kapangyarihan.
for nothing shall be impossible with God.
38 At sinabi ni Maria, Narito, ang alipin ng Panginoon; mangyari sa akin ang ayon sa iyong salita. At iniwan siya ng anghel.
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 At nang mga araw na ito'y nagtindig si Maria, at nagmadaling napasa lupaing maburol, sa isang bayan ng Juda;
And Mary arose in those days, and went with haste into the mountainous country, into a city of Judah;
40 At pumasok sa bahay ni Zacarias at bumati kay Elisabet.
and she came into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
41 At nangyari, pagkarinig ni Elisabet ng bati ni Maria, ay lumukso ang sanggol sa kaniyang tiyan; at napuspos si Elisabet ng Espiritu Santo;
And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, that the babe in her womb leaped for joy.
42 At sumigaw siya ng malakas na tinig, at sinabi, Pinagpala ka sa mga babae, at pinagpala ang bunga ng iyong tiyan.
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 At ano't nangyari sa akin, na ang ina ng aking Panginoon ay pumarito sa akin?
And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Sapagka't ganito, pagdating sa aking mga pakinig ng tinig ng iyong bati, lumukso sa tuwa ang sanggol sa aking tiyan.
For, behold, when the voice of your salutation sounded in my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.
45 At mapalad ang babaing sumampalataya; sapagka't matutupad ang mga bagay na sa kaniya'y sinabi ng Panginoon.
And blessed is she who believed; for there shall be a fulfillment of the things which were spoken to her from the Lord.
46 At sinabi ni Maria, Dinadakila ng aking kaluluwa ang Panginoon,
And Mary said: My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 At nagalak ang aking espiritu sa Dios na aking Tagapagligtas.
and my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior;
48 Sapagka't nilingap niya ang kababaan ng kaniyang alipin. Sapagka't, narito, mula ngayon ay tatawagin akong mapalad ng lahat ng maghahalihaliling lahi.
for he has looked upon the lowly condition of his handmaid. For, behold, from this time, all generations shall call me blessed;
49 Sapagka't ginawan ako ng Makapangyarihan ng mga dakilang bagay; At banal ang kaniyang pangalan.
for He that is Mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name:
50 At ang kaniyang awa ay sa mga lahi't lahi. Sa nangatatakot sa kaniya.
and his mercy is from generation to generation upon those who fear him.
51 Siya'y nagpakita ng lakas ng kaniyang bisig; Isinambulat niya ang mga palalo sa paggunamgunam ng kanilang puso.
He has done mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in the understanding of their hearts.
52 Ibinaba niya ang mga prinsipe sa mga luklukan nila, At itinaas ang mga may mababang kalagayan.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the lowly.
53 Binusog niya ang nangagugutom ng mabubuting bagay; At pinaalis niya ang mayayaman, na walang anoman.
He has filled the hungry with good things, but the rich he has sent empty away.
54 Tumulong siya sa Israel na kaniyang alipin, Upang maalaala niya ang awa
He has helped Israel his servant, (as he spoke to our fathers, )
55 (Gaya ng sinabi niya sa ating mga magulang) Kay Abraham at sa kaniyang binhi magpakailan man. (aiōn g165)
by remembering his mercy to Abraham and to his posterity forever. (aiōn g165)
56 At si Maria ay natirang kasama niya na may tatlong buwan, at umuwi sa kaniyang bahay.
And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
57 Naganap nga kay Elisabet ang panahon ng panganganak; at siya'y nanganak ng isang lalake.
Now the time for Elizabeth to be delivered had fully come; and she gave birth to a son.
58 At nabalitaan ng kaniyang mga kapitbahay at mga kamaganak, na dinakila ng Panginoon ang kaniyang awa sa kaniya; at sila'y nangakigalak sa kaniya.
And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had showed great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.
59 At nangyari, na nang ikawalong araw ay nagsiparoon sila upang tuliin ang sanggol; at siya'y tatawagin sana nila na Zacarias, ayon sa pangalan ng kaniyang ama.
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 At sumagot ang kaniyang ina at nagsabi, Hindi gayon; kundi ang itatawag sa kaniya'y Juan.
And his mother answered and said: Not so: but he shall be called John.
61 At sinabi nila sa kaniya, Wala sa iyong kamaganak na tinatawag sa pangalang ito.
And they said to her: There is no one among your relatives that is called by this name.
62 At hinudyatan nila ang kaniyang ama, kung ano ang ibig niyang itawag.
And they made signs to his father, to know what he wished him to be called.
63 At humingi siya ng isang sulatan at sumulat, na sinasabi, Ang kaniyang pangalan ay Juan. At nagsipanggilalas silang lahat.
And having asked for a writing tablet, he wrote, saying: His name is John. And they were all astonished.
64 At pagdaka'y nabuka ang kaniyang bibig, at ang kaniyang dila'y nakalag, at siya'y nagsalita, na pinupuri ang Dios.
And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue was loosed, and he spoke, and praised God.
65 At sinidlan ng takot ang lahat ng nagsisipanahan sa palibot nila; at nabansag ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito sa lahat ng lupaing maburol ng Judea.
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 At lahat ng mga nangakarinig nito ay pawang iningatan sa kanilang puso, na sinasabi, Magiging ano nga kaya ang batang ito? Sapagka't ang kamay ng Panginoon ay sumasa kaniya.
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 At si Zacarias na kaniyang ama ay napuspos ng Espiritu Santo, at nanghula, na nagsasabi,
And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying:
68 Purihin ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng Israel; Sapagka't kaniyang dinalaw at tinubos ang kaniyang bayan,
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people;
69 At nagtaas sa atin ng isang sungay ng kaligtasan Sa bahay ni David na kaniyang alipin
and he has raised up for us, in the house of David his servant, a horn of salvation,
70 (Gaya ng sinabi niya sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang mga banal na propeta na nagsilitaw buhat nang unang panahon), (aiōn g165)
(as he spoke by the mouth of all his holy prophets of ancient times, ) (aiōn g165)
71 Kaligtasang mula sa ating mga kaaway, at sa kamay ng lahat ng nangapopoot sa atin;
salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
72 Upang magkaawang-gawa sa ating mga magulang, At alalahanin ang kaniyang banal na tipan;
in order to show the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
73 Ang sumpa na isinumpa niya kay Abraham na ating ama,
the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
74 Na ipagkaloob sa atin na yamang nangaligtas sa kamay ng ating mga kaaway, Ay paglingkuran natin siya ng walang takot,
that he would grant to us, that being delivered from the hands of our enemies, we might serve him without fear,
75 Sa kabanalan at katuwiran sa harapan niya, lahat ng ating mga araw.
in holiness and righteousness before him, all our days.
76 Oo at ikaw, sanggol, tatawagin kang propeta ng kataastaasan; Sapagka't magpapauna ka sa unahan ng mukha ng Panginoon, upang ihanda ang kaniyang mga daan;
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 Upang maipakilala ang kaligtasan sa kaniyang bayan, Sa pagkapatawad ng kanilang mga kasalanan,
by giving to his people the knowledge of salvation in the remission of their sins,
78 Dahil sa magiliw na habag ng aming Dios, Ang pagbubukang liwayway buhat sa kaitaasan ay dadalaw sa atin,
through the tender mercies of our God; by which the dawn from on high has visited us,
79 Upang liwanagan ang nangakalugmok sa kadiliman at sa lilim ng kamatayan; Upang itumpak ang ating mga paa sa daan ng kapayapaan.
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 At lumaki ang sanggol, at lumakas sa espiritu, at nasa mga ilang hanggang sa araw ng kaniyang pagpapakita sa Israel.
And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.
