Lucas 1
1 Yamang marami ang nagpilit mag-ayos ng isang kasaysayan noong mga bagay na naganap sa gitna natin,
Seeing, indeed, that, many, had taken in hand to re-arrange for themselves a narrative, concerning the facts which have been fully confirmed amongst us, —
2 Alinsunod sa ipinatalos sa atin nilang buhat sa pasimula ay mga saksing nangakakakita at mga ministro ng salita,
according as they who from the beginning became eye-witnesses and attendants of the Word delivered them unto 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, even to me, having closely traced from the outset all things accurately, to write unto thee, in order, most excellent Theophilus:
4 Upang mapagkilala mo ang katunayan tungkol sa mga bagay na itinuro sa iyo.
that, as touching the matters which thou hadst been taught by word of mouth, thou mightest obtain full knowledge, of the certainty.
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.
It came to pass, in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, that there was a certain priest, by name Zachariah, of the daily course of Abia; and that he had a wife 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.
Now they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and righteous appointments 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, inasmuch as Elizabeth was barren, and, both, had become, advanced in their days.
8 Nangyari nga, na samantalang ginaganap niya ang pagkasaserdote sa harapan ng Dios ayon sa kapanahunan ng kaniyang pulutong,
But it came to pass, as he was doing priestly service in the order of his daily course, before God,
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 his priesthood, it fell to his lot to offer incense, entering 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 throng of the people, was praying outside, at the hour of the incense offering.
11 At napakita sa kaniya ang isang anghel ng Panginoon, na nakatayo sa dakong kanan ng dambana ng kamangyan.
And there appeared unto him a messenger of the Lord, standing on the right hand of the altar of incense;
12 At nagulumihanan si Zacarias, pagkakita niya sa kaniya, at dinatnan siya ng takot.
and Zachariah was troubled when he beheld, 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 messenger said unto him—Do not fear, Zachariah! Inasmuch as thy supplication hath been hearkened to, —and, thy wife Elizabeth, shall bring forth a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name, John;
14 At magkakaroon ka ng ligaya at galak; at marami ang maliligaya sa pagkapanganak sa kaniya.
And there shall be joy to thee and exulting, and, many, over his birth, shall rejoice;
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, wine and strong drink, in nowise may he drink, and, with Holy Spirit, shall he be filled, already, 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 towards 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 fathers unto children, and the unyielding, into the prudence of the righteous, and to prepare, for the Lord, a people made ready.
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 unto the messenger—Whereby, shall I know this? for, I, am, aged, and, my wife, advanced in her days.
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 messenger, answering, said unto him—I, am Gabriel, —he that standeth near before God; and have been sent forth to speak unto thee, and to deliver the joyful message unto thee, as touching these things.
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 lo! thou shalt be silent, and not able to speak until the day when these things shall come to pass; because thou didst not believe in my words, —the which shall be fulfilled for their season.
21 At hinihintay ng bayan si Zacarias, at nanganggigilalas sila sa kaniyang pagluluwat sa loob ng templo.
And the people were expecting Zachariah, and began to marvel that he should tarry 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.
and when he came forth he was not able to speak unto them, and they perceived that, a vision, he had seen in the Temple, —and, he, continued making signs unto them, and remained dumb.
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 public ministration were fulfilled, that he departed unto 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,
And, after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she disguised 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, for me, hath the Lord wrought, —in the days in which he looked 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,
Now, in the sixth month, was the messenger Gabriel sent forth from God, into a city of Galilee, the name of which was 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.
unto 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 entering in unto her, he said—Joy to thee, favoured one! The Lord, be with thee!
29 Datapuwa't siya'y totoong nagulumihanan sa sabing ito, at iniisip sa kaniyang sarili kung anong bati kaya ito.
And, she, at the word, was greatly troubled, and began to deliberate, of what kind, this salutation, might be.
30 At sinabi sa kaniya ng anghel, Huwag kang matakot, Maria: sapagka't nakasumpong ka ng biyaya sa Dios.
And the messenger said unto her—Do not fear, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God, —
31 At narito, maglilihi ka sa iyong tiyan, at manganganak ka ng isang lalake, at tatawagin mo ang kaniyang pangalang JESUS.
And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt 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:
the same, shall be great, and, Son of the Most High, shall be called, and the Lord God, will give unto 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, unto the ages, 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 unto the messenger—How, shall this thing be, seeing that, a man, I know not?
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 answering, the messenger said unto her—The Holy Spirit, shall come upon thee, and, the power of the Most High, shall overshadow thee; wherefore, even that which is to be born, Holy, shall be called, 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 lo! Elizabeth thy kinswoman, even she, hath conceived a son in, her old-age; —and, this month, is, the sixth, to her, the so-called barren one;
37 Sapagka't walang salitang mula sa Dios na di may kapangyarihan.
Because no declaration from God, shall be void of power.
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—Lo! the handmaid of the Lord! Might it come to pass unto me, according to thy declaration. And the messenger 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, arising, in these days, journeyed 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 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 that, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leapt in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with Holy Spirit, —
42 At sumigaw siya ng malakas na tinig, at sinabi, Pinagpala ka sa mga babae, at pinagpala ang bunga ng iyong tiyan.
and lifted up her voice with loud exclamation, and said—Blessed, art thou among women, and, blessed, is the fruit of thy womb;
43 At ano't nangyari sa akin, na ang ina ng aking Panginoon ay pumarito sa akin?
And, whence, to me is, this, That the mother of my Lord should come, unto me?
44 Sapagka't ganito, pagdating sa aking mga pakinig ng tinig ng iyong bati, lumukso sa tuwa ang sanggol sa aking tiyan.
For lo! as the sound of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe in my womb, leapt in exultation.
45 At mapalad ang babaing sumampalataya; sapagka't matutupad ang mga bagay na sa kaniya'y sinabi ng Panginoon.
And, happy, is she who hath believed, that there shall be a perfecting of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!
46 At sinabi ni Maria, Dinadakila ng aking kaluluwa ang Panginoon,
And Mary said—My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 At nagalak ang aking espiritu sa Dios na aking Tagapagligtas.
And my spirit hath exulted upon God my saviour;
48 Sapagka't nilingap niya ang kababaan ng kaniyang alipin. Sapagka't, narito, mula ngayon ay tatawagin akong mapalad ng lahat ng maghahalihaliling lahi.
Because he hath looked upon the humbling of his handmaid; for lo! from the present time, all the generations, will pronounce me happy.
49 Sapagka't ginawan ako ng Makapangyarihan ng mga dakilang bagay; At banal ang kaniyang pangalan.
Because he that is mighty hath done for me great things, and, holy, is his name;
50 At ang kaniyang awa ay sa mga lahi't lahi. Sa nangatatakot sa kaniya.
And his mercy is unto generations and generations, to them who revere him;
51 Siya'y nagpakita ng lakas ng kaniyang bisig; Isinambulat niya ang mga palalo sa paggunamgunam ng kanilang puso.
He hath wrought strength with his arm, He hath scattered men arrogant in the intention of their heart;
52 Ibinaba niya ang mga prinsipe sa mga luklukan nila, At itinaas ang mga may mababang kalagayan.
He hath deposed potentates from thrones, and uplifted the lowly;
53 Binusog niya ang nangagugutom ng mabubuting bagay; At pinaalis niya ang mayayaman, na walang anoman.
The hungry, hath he filled with good things, and, the wealthy, hath he sent empty away;
54 Tumulong siya sa Israel na kaniyang alipin, Upang maalaala niya ang awa
He hath laid hold of Israel his servant, to be mindful of mercies:
55 (Gaya ng sinabi niya sa ating mga magulang) Kay Abraham at sa kaniyang binhi magpakailan man. (aiōn g165)
According as he spake unto our fathers, —To Abraham, and to his seed, —Unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
56 At si Maria ay natirang kasama niya na may tatlong buwan, at umuwi sa kaniyang bahay.
And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her house.
57 Naganap nga kay Elisabet ang panahon ng panganganak; at siya'y nanganak ng isang lalake.
And, to Elizabeth, was the time fulfilled, that she should be bringing forth, —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 neighbours and kinsfolk heard, that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they were rejoicing 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 were calling it, after the name of its father, Zachariah.
60 At sumagot ang kaniyang ina at nagsabi, Hindi gayon; kundi ang itatawag sa kaniya'y Juan.
And his mother, answering, said—Nay! but he shall be called, John.
61 At sinabi nila sa kaniya, Wala sa iyong kamaganak na tinatawag sa pangalang ito.
And they said unto her—There is, no one from among thy kindred, who is called by this name!
62 At hinudyatan nila ang kaniyang ama, kung ano ang ibig niyang itawag.
And they began making signs unto his father, as to what he might be wishing it to be called.
63 At humingi siya ng isang sulatan at sumulat, na sinasabi, Ang kaniyang pangalan ay Juan. At nagsipanggilalas silang lahat.
And, asking for a small tablet, he wrote, saying—John, is his name! and they marvelled all.
64 At pagdaka'y nabuka ang kaniyang bibig, at ang kaniyang dila'y nakalag, at siya'y nagsalita, na pinupuri ang Dios.
And his mouth was opened instantly, and his tongue [loosed], and he began to speak, 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.
And fear came upon all the neighbours themselves; and, throughout all the hill-country of Judaea, were all these matters being much talked of;
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 who heard laid [them] up in their hearts, saying—What then shall his child be? for, even 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 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, the God of Israel! Because he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,
69 At nagtaas sa atin ng isang sungay ng kaligtasan Sa bahay ni David na kaniyang alipin
And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us, In the house of David his servant:
70 (Gaya ng sinabi niya sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang mga banal na propeta na nagsilitaw buhat nang unang panahon), (aiōn g165)
According as he hath spoken by mouth of his holy ancient prophets, — (aiōn g165)
71 Kaligtasang mula sa ating mga kaaway, at sa kamay ng lahat ng nangapopoot sa atin;
Of salvation from among our foes, and out of the hand of all them that hate us:
72 Upang magkaawang-gawa sa ating mga magulang, At alalahanin ang kaniyang banal na tipan;
To perform mercy with our fathers, and to be mindful of his holy covenant, —
73 Ang sumpa na isinumpa niya kay Abraham na ating ama,
The oath which he sware unto Abraham our father, To grant us,
74 Na ipagkaloob sa atin na yamang nangaligtas sa kamay ng ating mga kaaway, Ay paglingkuran natin siya ng walang takot,
without fear, from the hand of enemies rescued, to be rendering divine service unto him,
75 Sa kabanalan at katuwiran sa harapan niya, lahat ng ating mga araw.
in lovingkindness 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, even thou, child, prophet of the Most High, shalt be called, —for thou shall march on before the Lord, to prepare his ways,
77 Upang maipakilala ang kaligtasan sa kaniyang bayan, Sa pagkapatawad ng kanilang mga kasalanan,
Giving a knowledge of salvation unto his people, by a remission 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 yearning compassion of the mercy of our God, wherein shall visit us a day-dawn from on high, —
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 them who, in the darkness and shade of death, are sitting, to guide our feet into a 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, went on growing, and being strengthened in spirit, and was in the deserts, until the day he was pointed out unto Israel.
