< Luke 1 >

1 Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
ܡܛܠ ܕܤܓܝܐܐ ܨܒܘ ܕܢܟܬܒܘܢ ܬܫܥܝܬܐ ܕܤܘܥܪܢܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܢܢ ܡܦܤܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܒܗܘܢ
2 even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
ܐܝܟ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܫܠܡܘ ܠܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܗܘܘ ܚܙܝܐ ܘܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܕܡܠܬܐ
3 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;
ܐܬܚܙܝ ܐܦ ܠܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܩܪܝܒ ܗܘܝܬ ܝܨܝܦܐܝܬ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܒܛܟܤܗ ܐܟܬܘܒ ܠܟ ܢܨܝܚܐ ܬܐܘܦܝܠܐ
4 that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
ܕܬܕܥ ܫܪܪܐ ܕܡܠܐ ܕܐܬܬܠܡܕܬ ܠܗܝܢ
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
ܗܘܐ ܒܝܘܡܬܗ ܕܗܪܘܕܤ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܟܗܢܐ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܒܝܐ ܘܐܢܬܬܗ ܡܢ ܒܢܬܗ ܕܐܗܪܘܢ ܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܐܠܝܫܒܥ
6 They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
ܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܙܕܝܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܘܗܝ ܘܒܟܐܢܘܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܥܕܠܝ
7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
ܒܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܥܩܪܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܤܓܝܐܝ ܒܝܘܡܬܗܘܢ ܗܘܘ
8 Now it happened, while he was performing the priest's office before God in the order of his division,
ܗܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܟܗܢ ܗܘܐ ܒܛܟܤܐ ܕܬܫܡܫܬܗ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ
9 according to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
ܒܥܝܕܐ ܕܟܗܢܘܬܐ ܡܛܝܗܝ ܕܢܤܝܡ ܒܤܡܐ ܘܥܠ ܠܗܝܟܠܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ
10 And the whole crowd of people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
ܘܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܡܨܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܒܪ ܒܥܕܢܐ ܕܒܤܡܐ
11 An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
ܘܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܗ ܠܙܟܪܝܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܐ ܕܡܕܒܚܐ ܕܒܤܡܐ
12 Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
ܘܐܫܬܓܫ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܘܕܚܠܬܐ ܢܦܠܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ
13 But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܫܬܡܥܬ ܨܠܘܬܟ ܘܐܢܬܬܟ ܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܬܐܠܕ ܠܟ ܒܪܐ ܘܬܩܪܐ ܫܡܗ ܝܘܚܢܢ
14 You will have joy and gladness; and many will rejoice at his birth.
ܘܬܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܚܕܘܬܐ ܘܐܪܘܙܐ ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܢܚܕܘܢ ܒܡܘܠܕܗ
15 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 Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
ܢܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܪܒ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܚܡܪܐ ܘܫܟܪܐ ܠܐ ܢܫܬܐ ܘܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܢܬܡܠܐ ܥܕ ܗܘ ܒܟܪܤܐ ܕܐܡܗ
16 He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord, their God.
ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܢܦܢܐ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗܘܢ
17 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."
ܘܗܘ ܢܐܙܠ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܘܒܚܝܠܐ ܕܐܠܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܢܦܢܐ ܠܒܐ ܕܐܒܗܐ ܥܠ ܒܢܝܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܛܦܝܤܝܢ ܠܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܟܐܢܐ ܘܢܛܝܒ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܥܡܐ ܓܡܝܪܐ
18 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."
ܘܐܡܪ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܠܡܠܐܟܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܕܥ ܗܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܬܝ ܤܒܐ ܘܐܢܬܬܝ ܤܓܝܐܬ ܒܝܘܡܬܗ ܗܝ
19 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.
ܘܥܢܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܓܒܪܝܐܝܠ ܕܩܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܫܬܠܚܬ ܕܐܡܠܠ ܥܡܟ ܘܐܤܒܪܟ ܗܠܝܢ
20 And 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."
ܡܟܝܠ ܬܗܘܐ ܫܬܝܩ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܟܚ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܢܗܘܝܢ ܥܠ ܕܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܬ ܠܡܠܝ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܡܠܝܢ ܒܙܒܢܗܝܢ
21 The people were waiting for Zechariah, and they were wondering why he was delayed in the temple.
ܥܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܤܟܐ ܠܙܟܪܝܐ ܘܬܡܝܗܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠ ܬܘܚܪܬܗ ܕܒܗܝܟܠܐ
22 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.
ܟܕ ܢܦܩ ܕܝܢ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܘܐܤܬܟܠܘ ܕܚܙܘܐ ܚܙܐ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܗܘ ܡܪܡܙ ܪܡܙ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܩܘܝ ܟܕ ܚܪܫ
23 It happened, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
ܘܟܕ ܐܬܡܠܝܘ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܬܫܡܫܬܗ ܐܙܠ ܠܒܝܬܗ
24 After these days Elizabeth, his wife, conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,
ܘܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܒܛܢܬ ܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܡܛܫܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܢܦܫܗ ܝܪܚܐ ܚܡܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܗܘܬ
25 "Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my disgrace among people."
ܕܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܚܪ ܒܝ ܠܡܤܒ ܚܤܕܝ ܕܒܝܬ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ
26 Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
ܒܝܪܚܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܬܐ ܐܫܬܠܚ ܓܒܪܝܐܝܠ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܓܠܝܠܐ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܢܨܪܬ
27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.
ܠܘܬ ܒܬܘܠܬܐ ܕܡܟܝܪܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܝܘܤܦ ܡܢ ܒܝܬܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܘܫܡܗ ܠܒܬܘܠܬܐ ܡܪܝܡ
28 Having come in, the angel said to her, "Greetings, favored one. The Lord is with you."
ܘܥܠ ܠܘܬܗ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܠܡ ܠܟܝ ܡܠܝܬ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܡܪܢ ܥܡܟܝ ܒܪܝܟܬ ܒܢܫܐ
29 But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of greeting this might be.
ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܚܙܬ ܐܬܪܗܒܬ ܒܡܠܬܗ ܘܡܬܚܫܒܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܡܢܐ ܗܘ ܫܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ
30 The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܝܢ ܡܪܝܡ ܐܫܟܚܬܝ ܓܝܪ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ
31 And look, you will conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and will call his name 'Jesus.'
ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܬܩܒܠܝܢ ܒܛܢܐ ܘܬܐܠܕܝܢ ܒܪܐ ܘܬܩܪܝܢ ܫܡܗ ܝܫܘܥ
32 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,
ܗܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܪܒ ܘܒܪܗ ܕܥܠܝܐ ܢܬܩܪܐ ܘܢܬܠ ܠܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܟܘܪܤܝܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܐܒܘܗܝ
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom." (aiōn g165)
ܘܢܡܠܟ ܥܠ ܒܝܬܗ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ ܠܥܠܡ ܘܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܤܘܦ ܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ (aiōn g165)
34 Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?"
ܐܡܪܐ ܡܪܝܡ ܠܡܠܐܟܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܠܐ ܚܟܝܡ ܠܝ
35 The angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit 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.
ܥܢܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܬܐܬܐ ܘܚܝܠܗ ܕܥܠܝܐ ܢܓܢ ܥܠܝܟܝ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܬܝܠܕ ܒܟܝ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܗܘ ܘܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܬܩܪܐ
36 And look, Elizabeth, your relative, also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
ܘܗܐ ܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܐܚܝܢܬܟܝ ܐܦ ܗܝ ܒܛܢܐ ܒܪܐ ܒܤܝܒܘܬܗ ܘܗܢܐ ܝܪܚܐ ܕܫܬܐ ܠܗ ܠܗܝ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܥܩܪܬܐ
37 For with God nothing will be impossible."
ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܥܛܠ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܡܕܡ
38 And Mary said, "See, the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word." The angel departed from her.
ܐܡܪܐ ܡܪܝܡ ܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܐܝܟ ܡܠܬܟ ܘܐܙܠ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܡܢ ܠܘܬܗ
39 Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,
ܩܡܬ ܕܝܢ ܡܪܝܡ ܒܗܘܢ ܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܘܐܙܠܬ ܒܛܝܠܐܝܬ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕ
40 and entered into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
ܘܥܠܬ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܙܟܪܝܐ ܘܫܐܠܬ ܫܠܡܗ ܕܐܠܝܫܒܥ
41 It happened, when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, that the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܫܡܥܬ ܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܫܠܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܡ ܕܨ ܥܘܠܐ ܒܟܪܤܗ ܘܐܬܡܠܝܬ ܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ
42 She called out with a loud voice, and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
ܘܩܥܬ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܐܡܪܬ ܠܡܪܝܡ ܡܒܪܟܬܐ ܐܢܬܝ ܒܢܫܐ ܘܡܒܪܟ ܗܘ ܦܐܪܐ ܕܒܟܪܤܟܝ
43 Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
ܐܝܡܟܐ ܠܝ ܗܕܐ ܕܐܡܗ ܕܡܪܝ ܬܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ
44 For look, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy.
ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܟܕ ܢܦܠ ܩܠܐ ܕܫܠܡܟܝ ܒܐܕܢܝ ܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܕܨ ܥܘܠܐ ܒܟܪܤܝ
45 Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord."
ܘܛܘܒܝܗ ܠܐܝܕܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܬ ܕܗܘܐ ܫܘܠܡܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܡܠܠ ܥܡܗ ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܝܐ
46 Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord.
ܘܐܡܪܬ ܡܪܝܡ ܡܘܪܒܐ ܢܦܫܝ ܠܡܪܝܐ
47 And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
ܘܚܕܝܬ ܪܘܚܝ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܡܚܝܢܝ
48 for he has looked at the humble state of his servant girl. For look, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
ܕܚܪ ܒܡܘܟܟܐ ܕܐܡܬܗ ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܗܫܐ ܛܘܒܐ ܢܬܠܢ ܠܝ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܟܠܗܝܢ
49 For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
ܕܥܒܕ ܠܘܬܝ ܪܘܪܒܬܐ ܗܘ ܕܚܝܠܬܢ ܘܩܕܝܫ ܫܡܗ
50 His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear him.
ܘܚܢܢܗ ܠܕܪܐ ܘܫܪܒܬܐ ܥܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܚܠܝܢ ܠܗ
51 He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
ܥܒܕ ܙܟܘܬܐ ܒܕܪܥܗ ܘܒܕܪ ܚܬܝܪܝ ܒܬܪܥܝܬܐ ܕܠܒܗܘܢ
52 He has put down princes from their thrones. And has exalted the lowly.
ܤܚܦ ܬܩܝܦܐ ܡܢ ܟܘܪܤܘܬܐ ܘܐܪܝܡ ܡܟܝܟܐ
53 He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.
ܟܦܢܐ ܤܒܥ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܥܬܝܪܐ ܫܪܐ ܤܦܝܩܐܝܬ
54 He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
ܥܕܪ ܠܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܥܒܕܗ ܘܐܬܕܟܪ ܚܢܢܗ
55 As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his offspring forever." (aiōn g165)
ܐܝܟ ܕܡܠܠ ܥܡ ܐܒܗܝܢ ܥܡ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܥܡ ܙܪܥܗ ܠܥܠܡ (aiōn g165)
56 Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.
ܩܘܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܡܪܝܡ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܐܝܟ ܝܪܚܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܘܗܦܟܬ ܠܒܝܬܗ
57 Now the time that Elizabeth should give birth was fulfilled, and she brought forth a son.
ܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܕܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܬܐܠܕ ܘܝܠܕܬ ܒܪܐ
58 Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they rejoiced with her.
ܘܫܡܥܘ ܫܒܒܝܗ ܘܒܢܝ ܛܘܗܡܗ ܕܐܤܓܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܢܢܗ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܚܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ
59 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.
ܘܗܘܐ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܬܡܢܝܐ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܡܓܙܪܗ ܠܛܠܝܐ ܘܩܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܒܫܡܐ ܕܐܒܘܗܝ ܙܟܪܝܐ
60 His mother answered, "Not so; but he will be called John."
ܘܥܢܬ ܐܡܗ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܢܬܩܪܐ ܝܘܚܢܢ
61 They said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name."
ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܕܠܝܬ ܐܢܫ ܒܫܪܒܬܟܝ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܒܫܡܐ ܗܢܐ
62 They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
ܘܪܡܙܘ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܨܒܐ ܕܢܫܡܝܘܗܝ
63 And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they were all amazed.
ܘܫܐܠ ܦܢܩܝܬܐ ܘܟܬܒ ܘܐܡܪ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܗܘ ܫܡܗ ܘܐܬܕܡܪܘ ܟܠܢܫ
64 His mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.
ܘܡܚܕܐ ܐܬܦܬܚ ܦܘܡܗ ܘܠܫܢܗ ܘܡܠܠ ܘܒܪܟ ܠܐܠܗܐ
65 Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.
ܘܗܘܬ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܫܒܒܝܗܘܢ ܘܒܟܠܗ ܛܘܪܐ ܕܝܗܘܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܬܡܠܠܢ ܗܘܝ
66 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.
ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܢܐ ܟܝ ܢܗܘܐ ܛܠܝܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܐܝܕܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܥܡܗ
67 His father, Zechariah, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
ܘܐܬܡܠܝ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܐܬܢܒܝ ܘܐܡܪ
68 "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited and worked redemption for his people;
ܡܒܪܟ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗ ܕܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܕܤܥܪ ܥܡܗ ܘܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ
69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
ܘܐܩܝܡ ܠܢ ܩܪܢܐ ܕܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܥܒܕܗ
70 (as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets who have been from of old), (aiōn g165)
ܐܝܟ ܕܡܠܠ ܒܦܘܡܐ ܕܢܒܝܘܗܝ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܡܢ ܥܠܡ (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us;
ܕܢܦܪܩܢ ܡܢ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܢ ܘܡܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܤܢܐܝܢ
72 to show mercy towards our fathers, to remember his holy covenant,
ܘܥܒܕ ܚܢܢܗ ܥܡ ܐܒܗܝܢ ܘܥܗܕ ܠܕܝܬܩܘܗܝ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ
73 the oath which he spoke to Abraham, our father,
ܘܡܘܡܬܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܠܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܒܘܢ ܕܢܬܠ ܠܢ
74 to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, should serve him without fear,
ܕܢܬܦܪܩ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܢ ܘܕܠܐ ܕܚܠܐ ܢܦܠܘܚ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ
75 In holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܢ ܒܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ
76 And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to make ready his ways,
ܘܐܢܬ ܛܠܝܐ ܢܒܝܗ ܕܥܠܝܐ ܬܬܩܪܐ ܬܐܙܠ ܓܝܪ ܩܕܡ ܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܬܛܝܒ ܐܘܪܚܗ
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins,
ܕܢܬܠ ܡܕܥܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܠܥܡܗ ܒܫܘܒܩܢܐ ܕܚܛܗܝܗܘܢ
78 because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the dawn from on high will visit us,
ܒܪܚܡܐ ܕܚܢܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܢ ܕܒܗܘܢ ܢܤܥܪܢ ܕܢܚܐ ܡܢ ܪܘܡܐ
79 to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace."
ܠܡܢܗܪܘ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܚܫܘܟܐ ܘܒܛܠܠܐ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܝܬܒܝܢ ܕܢܬܪܘܨ ܪܓܠܝܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܫܠܡܐ
80 The child was growing, and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
ܛܠܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܪܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܬܚܝܠ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܘܒܚܘܪܒܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܬܚܘܝܬܗ ܕܠܘܬ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ
