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 set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
2 Alinsunod sa ipinatalos sa atin nilang buhat sa pasimula ay mga saksing nangakakakita at mga ministro ng salita,
even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
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 traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus;
4 Upang mapagkilala mo ang katunayan tungkol sa mga bagay na itinuro sa iyo.
that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were 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 cohen named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisheva.
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 blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
7 At wala silang anak, sapagka't baog si Elisabet, at sila'y kapuwa may pataw ng maraming taon.
But they had no child, because Elisheva was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
8 Nangyari nga, na samantalang ginaganap niya ang pagkasaserdote sa harapan ng Dios ayon sa kapanahunan ng kaniyang pulutong,
Now it happened, while he was performing the office of cohen before God in the order of his division,
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 office of cohen, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10 At ang buong karamihan ng mga tao ay nagsisipanalangin sa labas sa oras ng kamangyan.
And the whole crowd of people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
11 At napakita sa kaniya ang isang anghel ng Panginoon, na nakatayo sa dakong kanan ng dambana ng kamangyan.
An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 At nagulumihanan si Zacarias, pagkakita niya sa kaniya, at dinatnan siya ng takot.
Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, 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, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elisheva, will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.
14 At magkakaroon ka ng ligaya at galak; at marami ang maliligaya sa pagkapanganak sa kaniya.
You will have joy and gladness; and many will 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 will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he must never drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Ruach ha-Kodesh, even from his mother's womb.
16 At marami sa mga anak ni Israel, ay papagbabaliking-loob niya sa Panginoon na kanilang Dios.
He will turn many of the children of Israel 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.
He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
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.
Zechariah said to the angel, "How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well 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.
The angel answered him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, and to bring 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.
Look, you will be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things will happen, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time."
21 At hinihintay ng bayan si Zacarias, at nanganggigilalas sila sa kaniyang pagluluwat sa loob ng templo.
The people were waiting for Zechariah, and they were wondering why he was delayed 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.
When he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.
23 At nangyari, na nang maganap na ang mga araw ng kaniyang paglilingkod, siya'y umuwi sa kaniyang bahay.
It happened, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his 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,
After these days Elisheva, his wife, conceived, and she hid herself 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 done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my disgrace among people."
26 Nang ikaanim na buwan nga'y sinugo ng Dios ang anghel Gabriel sa isang bayan ng Galilea, ngala'y Nazaret,
Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galil, named Natzeret,
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 pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Miriam.
28 At pumasok siya sa kinaroroonan niya, at sinabi, Magalak ka, ikaw na totoong pinakamamahal, ang Panginoon ay sumasa iyo.
Having come in, the angel said to her, "Greetings, favored one. The Lord is with you."
29 Datapuwa't siya'y totoong nagulumihanan sa sabing ito, at iniisip sa kaniyang sarili kung anong bati kaya ito.
But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of greeting this might be.
30 At sinabi sa kaniya ng anghel, Huwag kang matakot, Maria: sapagka't nakasumpong ka ng biyaya sa Dios.
The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Miriam, 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 look, you will conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and will call his name 'Yeshua.'
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 will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father, David,
33 At siya'y maghahari sa angkan ni Jacob magpakailan man; at hindi magkakawakas ang kaniyang kaharian. (aiōn g165)
and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom." (aiōn g165)
34 At sinabi ni Maria sa anghel, Paanong mangyayari ito, sa ako'y hindi nakakakilala ng lalake?
Miriam said to the angel, "How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?"
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.
The angel answered her, "The Ruach ha-Kodesh will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born will 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 look, Elisheva, your relative, also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
37 Sapagka't walang salitang mula sa Dios na di may kapangyarihan.
For with God nothing will be impossible."
38 At sinabi ni Maria, Narito, ang alipin ng Panginoon; mangyari sa akin ang ayon sa iyong salita. At iniwan siya ng anghel.
And Miriam said, "See, the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word." 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;
Miriam arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,
40 At pumasok sa bahay ni Zacarias at bumati kay Elisabet.
and entered into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elisheva.
41 At nangyari, pagkarinig ni Elisabet ng bati ni Maria, ay lumukso ang sanggol sa kaniyang tiyan; at napuspos si Elisabet ng Espiritu Santo;
It happened, when Elisheva heard Miriam's greeting, that the baby leaped in her womb, and Elisheva was filled with the Ruach ha-Kodesh.
42 At sumigaw siya ng malakas na tinig, at sinabi, Pinagpala ka sa mga babae, at pinagpala ang bunga ng iyong tiyan.
She called out 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?
Why am I so favored, 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 look, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy.
45 At mapalad ang babaing sumampalataya; sapagka't matutupad ang mga bagay na sa kaniya'y sinabi ng Panginoon.
Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord."
46 At sinabi ni Maria, Dinadakila ng aking kaluluwa ang Panginoon,
Miriam 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 at the humble state of his servant girl. For look, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
49 Sapagka't ginawan ako ng Makapangyarihan ng mga dakilang bagay; At banal ang kaniyang pangalan.
For he who 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.
His mercy is for generations of generations on 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 shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 Ibinaba niya ang mga prinsipe sa mga luklukan nila, At itinaas ang mga may mababang kalagayan.
He has put down princes from their thrones. And has 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. He has sent the rich away empty.
54 Tumulong siya sa Israel na kaniyang alipin, Upang maalaala niya ang awa
He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
55 (Gaya ng sinabi niya sa ating mga magulang) Kay Abraham at sa kaniyang binhi magpakailan man. (aiōn g165)
As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his offspring forever." (aiōn g165)
56 At si Maria ay natirang kasama niya na may tatlong buwan, at umuwi sa kaniyang bahay.
Miriam stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.
57 Naganap nga kay Elisabet ang panahon ng panganganak; at siya'y nanganak ng isang lalake.
Now the time that Elisheva should give birth was fulfilled, and she brought forth 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.
Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards 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.
It happened on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zechariah, after the name of the father.
60 At sumagot ang kaniyang ina at nagsabi, Hindi gayon; kundi ang itatawag sa kaniya'y Juan.
His mother answered, "Not so; but he will be called John."
61 At sinabi nila sa kaniya, Wala sa iyong kamaganak na tinatawag sa pangalang ito.
They said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name."
62 At hinudyatan nila ang kaniyang ama, kung ano ang ibig niyang itawag.
They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
63 At humingi siya ng isang sulatan at sumulat, na sinasabi, Ang kaniyang pangalan ay Juan. At nagsipanggilalas silang lahat.
And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they were all amazed.
64 At pagdaka'y nabuka ang kaniyang bibig, at ang kaniyang dila'y nakalag, at siya'y nagsalita, na pinupuri ang Dios.
His mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing 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.
Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill 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.
All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, "What then will this child be?" The hand of the Lord was with him.
67 At si Zacarias na kaniyang ama ay napuspos ng Espiritu Santo, at nanghula, na nagsasabi,
His father, Zechariah, was filled with the Ruach ha-Kodesh, and prophesied, saying,
68 Purihin ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng Israel; Sapagka't kaniyang dinalaw at tinubos ang kaniyang bayan,
"Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited and worked redemption for his people;
69 At nagtaas sa atin ng isang sungay ng kaligtasan Sa bahay ni David na kaniyang alipin
and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
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 his holy prophets who have been from of old), (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 who hate us;
72 Upang magkaawang-gawa sa ating mga magulang, At alalahanin ang kaniyang banal na tipan;
to show mercy towards our fathers, to remember his holy covenant,
73 Ang sumpa na isinumpa niya kay Abraham na ating ama,
the oath which he spoke 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,
to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, should 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, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to make ready his ways,
77 Upang maipakilala ang kaligtasan sa kaniyang bayan, Sa pagkapatawad ng kanilang mga kasalanan,
to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins,
78 Dahil sa magiliw na habag ng aming Dios, Ang pagbubukang liwayway buhat sa kaitaasan ay dadalaw sa atin,
because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the dawn from on high will visit us,
79 Upang liwanagan ang nangakalugmok sa kadiliman at sa lilim ng kamatayan; Upang itumpak ang ating mga paa sa daan ng kapayapaan.
to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into 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.
The child was growing, and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
