Lucas 1
1 Yamang marami ang nagpilit mag-ayos ng isang kasaysayan noong mga bagay na naganap sa gitna natin,
SINCE many have been disposed to write narratives of those events, of which we have full assurance,
2 Alinsunod sa ipinatalos sa atin nilang buhat sa pasimula ay mga saksing nangakakakita at mga ministro ng salita,
as they delivered them to us, who from the first were 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 proper for me also, as I had examined them all accurately, to write out the whole, methodically, for thee, excellent Theophilus:
4 Upang mapagkilala mo ang katunayan tungkol sa mga bagay na itinuro sa iyo.
that thou mayest know the truth of the statements, which thou hast been taught.
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.
In the days of Herod the king of Judaea, there was a certain priest, whose name was Zachariah, of the ministration of the house of Abijah; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
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.
And they were both upright before God, and walked in all his commandments, and in the righteousness of the Lord, without reproach.
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 Elisabeth was barren: and they were both advanced in life.
8 Nangyari nga, na samantalang ginaganap niya ang pagkasaserdote sa harapan ng Dios ayon sa kapanahunan ng kaniyang pulutong,
And it occurred, that as he performed the priestly functions in the order of his ministration before the Lord,
9 Alinsunod sa kaugalian ng tungkuling pagkasaserdote, ay naging palad niya ang pumasok sa templo ng Panginoon at magsunog ng kamangyan.
according to the usage of the priesthood, it fell to him to offer the incense. And 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 the whole 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 the angel of the Lord appeared to Zachariah, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 At nagulumihanan si Zacarias, pagkakita niya sa kaniya, at dinatnan siya ng takot.
And when Zachariah saw him, he was agitated, 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.
And the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachariah; for thy prayer is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth will bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
14 At magkakaroon ka ng ligaya at galak; at marami ang maliligaya sa pagkapanganak sa kaniya.
And thou wilt 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 before the Lord; and he will not drink wine nor strong drink, and will 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 children of Israel will he convert 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 will go before him, in the spirit and power of Elijah the prophet, and will turn the heart of the fathers unto the children, and them that are disobedient to the knowledge of the righteous, and will prepare a perfect people 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.
And Zachariah said to the angel: How shall I know this? For I am old, and my wife is advanced in life.
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, and said to him: I am Gabriel, who stand before God; and I am sent to converse with thee, and to tell thee 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.
Henceforth thou wilt be dumb, and unable to speak, until the day when these things take place: because thou believedst not my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.
21 At hinihintay ng bayan si Zacarias, at nanganggigilalas sila sa kaniyang pagluluwat sa loob ng templo.
And the people were standing and waiting for Zachariah; and they wondered at his tarrying 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.
And when Zachariah came forth, he could not speak with them: and they understood that he had seen a vision in the temple: and he made many 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 when the days of his ministration were accomplished, he came 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,
And it was after those days, that Elisabeth his wife conceived. And she secluded herself five months; and she said:
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.
These things hath the Lord done for me, in the days when 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,
And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent by God into Galilee, to a city 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 espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name 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 entered the house, and said to her: Peace to thee, thou full of grace! The Lord is with thee: and blessed art thou among women.
29 Datapuwa't siya'y totoong nagulumihanan sa sabing ito, at iniisip sa kaniyang sarili kung anong bati kaya ito.
And when she saw him, she was agitated by his speech; and she pondered, 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 thou hast 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.
For lo, thou wilt conceive in thy womb, and wilt bear a son, and wilt 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 will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and 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 for ever; and of his reign there will be no end. (aiōn g165)
34 At sinabi ni Maria sa anghel, Paanong mangyayari ito, sa ako'y hindi nakakakilala ng lalake?
And Mary said to the angel: How can this be, as I have not known 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.
The angel replied, and said to her: The Holy Spirit will come, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee; therefore he that is born of thee is holy, and 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 lo, Elisabeth thy kinswoman, even she too hath 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.
Because nothing is difficult for God.
38 At sinabi ni Maria, Narito, ang alipin ng Panginoon; mangyari sa akin ang ayon sa iyong salita. At iniwan siya ng anghel.
Mary said: Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me, according to thy 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 hastily to the mountain district, to a city of Judaea;
40 At pumasok sa bahay ni Zacarias at bumati kay Elisabet.
and entered the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elisabeth.
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 was so, that when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the child leaped in her womb, and she was filled with the 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 she cried out with a loud voice, and said to Mary: 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 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 lo, as the voice of thy salutation fell upon my ears, with great joy the child leaped in my womb.
45 At mapalad ang babaing sumampalataya; sapagka't matutupad ang mga bagay na sa kaniya'y sinabi ng Panginoon.
And happy is she that believed; for there will be a fulfillment of those things that were told her by 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 rejoiceth in God the author of my life.
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 hath looked upon the humble condition of his hand maid; and lo, henceforth all generations will ascribe blessedness to me.
49 Sapagka't ginawan ako ng Makapangyarihan ng mga dakilang bagay; At banal ang kaniyang pangalan.
And 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 on them that fear him, for generations and posterities.
51 Siya'y nagpakita ng lakas ng kaniyang bisig; Isinambulat niya ang mga palalo sa paggunamgunam ng kanilang puso.
He hath wrought victory with his arm; and hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart.
52 Ibinaba niya ang mga prinsipe sa mga luklukan nila, At itinaas ang mga may mababang kalagayan.
He hath cast down the mighty from their thrones, and hath exalted the lowly.
53 Binusog niya ang nangagugutom ng mabubuting bagay; At pinaalis niya ang mayayaman, na walang anoman.
The hungry hath he satisfied with good things, and the rich hath he sent away empty.
54 Tumulong siya sa Israel na kaniyang alipin, Upang maalaala niya ang awa
He hath aided Israel his servant, and remembered his mercy,
55 (Gaya ng sinabi niya sa ating mga magulang) Kay Abraham at sa kaniyang binhi magpakailan man. (aiōn g165)
(as he spoke with the fathers, ) with Abraham and his seed, for ever. (aiōn g165)
56 At si Maria ay natirang kasama niya na may tatlong buwan, at umuwi sa kaniyang bahay.
And Mary remained with Elisabeth about three months, and returned to her home.
57 Naganap nga kay Elisabet ang panahon ng panganganak; at siya'y nanganak ng isang lalake.
And Elisabeth's time of bringing forth arrived; and she bore 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 magnified his 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 occurred, that on the eighth day 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 John, shall he be called.
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 thy kindred called by that name.
62 At hinudyatan nila ang kaniyang ama, kung ano ang ibig niyang itawag.
And they made signs to his father, how he would have him named.
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 tablet, and wrote, and said: John is his name. And every one was surprised.
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; 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 upon all their neighbors; and these things were talked of in all the mountain district of Judaea.
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, pondered them in their heart, and said: What 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, and said:
68 Purihin ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng Israel; Sapagka't kaniyang dinalaw at tinubos ang kaniyang bayan,
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who hath visited his people, and wrought redemption for them:
69 At nagtaas sa atin ng isang sungay ng kaligtasan Sa bahay ni David na kaniyang alipin
And hath raised up a horn of redemption 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)
as he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, who were of old, (aiōn g165)
71 Kaligtasang mula sa ating mga kaaway, at sa kamay ng lahat ng nangapopoot sa atin;
that he would redeem us 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;
And he hath exercised his mercy to our fathers, and hath remembered his holy covenants,
73 Ang sumpa na isinumpa niya kay Abraham na ating ama,
and the oath that he sware to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us,
74 Na ipagkaloob sa atin na yamang nangaligtas sa kamay ng ating mga kaaway, Ay paglingkuran natin siya ng walang takot,
to be redeemed from the hand of our enemies; and that we should worship before him, without fear,
75 Sa kabanalan at katuwiran sa harapan niya, lahat ng ating mga araw.
all our days, in rectitude and uprightness.
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 thou, child, wilt be called a prophet of the Most High; for thou wilt go before the face of the Lord, to prepare his way,
77 Upang maipakilala ang kaligtasan sa kaniyang bayan, Sa pagkapatawad ng kanilang mga kasalanan,
that he may give the knowledge of life to his people, and forgiveness of their sins,
78 Dahil sa magiliw na habag ng aming Dios, Ang pagbubukang liwayway buhat sa kaitaasan ay dadalaw sa atin,
through the compassion of the mercy of our God; whereby the day-spring 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 give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death; and 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.
And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit. And he was in the wilderness, until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
