Luke 1
1 BECAUSE many have willed to record histories of those transactions of which we are persuaded, according to that which they have delivered to us,
επειδηπερ πολλοι επεχειρησαν αναταξασθαι διηγησιν περι των πεπληροφορημενων εν ημιν πραγματων
2 (they) who from the first were eye-witnesses and ministers of his doctrine;
καθως παρεδοσαν ημιν οι απ αρχης αυτοπται και υπηρεται γενομενοι του λογου
3 it appeared also to me, that having been intimately near to them all, I should record every thing in its order for thee, illustrious Theophile,
εδοξεν καμοι παρηκολουθηκοτι ανωθεν πασιν ακριβως καθεξης σοι γραψαι κρατιστε θεοφιλε
4 that thou mayest know the truth of those doctrines in which thou hast been instructed.
ινα επιγνως περι ων κατηχηθης λογων την ασφαλειαν
5 THERE was in the days of Herodes, king of the Jihudoyee, a certain priest whose name was Zakaria, of the service of the house of Abia, and his wife (was) of the daughters of Aharun; her name was Elishaba.
εγενετο εν ταις ημεραις ηρωδου του βασιλεως της ιουδαιας ιερευς τις ονοματι ζαχαριας εξ εφημεριας αβια και η γυνη αυτου εκ των θυγατερων ααρων και το ονομα αυτης ελισαβετ
6 And they were both just before Aloha, and walked in all his commandments, and in the righteousness of the Lord, without blame.
ησαν δε δικαιοι αμφοτεροι ενωπιον του θεου πορευομενοι εν πασαις ταις εντολαις και δικαιωμασιν του κυριου αμεμπτοι
7 But they had no son because Elishaba was barren, and both had become many in their days.
και ουκ ην αυτοις τεκνον καθοτι η ελισαβετ ην στειρα και αμφοτεροι προβεβηκοτες εν ταις ημεραις αυτων ησαν
8 But it was while he was acting-as-priest in the order of his ministry before Aloha,
εγενετο δε εν τω ιερατευειν αυτον εν τη ταξει της εφημεριας αυτου εναντι του θεου
9 according to the custom of the priesthood he came to set on incense, and entered into the temple of the Lord.
κατα το εθος της ιερατειας ελαχεν του θυμιασαι εισελθων εις τον ναον του κυριου
10 And all the congregation of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
και παν το πληθος του λαου ην προσευχομενον εξω τη ωρα του θυμιαματος
11 And there appeared to him, to Zakaria, the angel of the Lord, standing on the right hand of the altar of incense.
ωφθη δε αυτω αγγελος κυριου εστως εκ δεξιων του θυσιαστηριου του θυμιαματος
12 And Zakaria trembled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
και εταραχθη ζαχαριας ιδων και φοβος επεπεσεν επ αυτον
13 And the angel said to him, Fear not, Zakaria, for thy prayer is heard, and thy wife Elishaba shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Juchanon.
ειπεν δε προς αυτον ο αγγελος μη φοβου ζαχαρια διοτι εισηκουσθη η δεησις σου και η γυνη σου ελισαβετ γεννησει υιον σοι και καλεσεις το ονομα αυτου ιωαννην
14 And to thee shall be joy and exultation, and many shall rejoice in his birth:
και εσται χαρα σοι και αγαλλιασις και πολλοι επι τη γεννησει αυτου χαρησονται
15 for he shall be great before the Lord, and wine and strong liquor shall he not drink, and with the Spirit of Holiness shall he be filled, from the womb of his mother.
εσται γαρ μεγας ενωπιον του κυριου και οινον και σικερα ου μη πιη και πνευματος αγιου πλησθησεται ετι εκ κοιλιας μητρος αυτου
16 And many of the sons of Isroel shall he convert to the Lord their Aloha.
και πολλους των υιων ισραηλ επιστρεψει επι κυριον τον θεον αυτων
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and the power of Elia the prophet, to turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and those who believe not to the knowledge of the righteous, and to prepare for the Lord a perfect people.
και αυτος προελευσεται ενωπιον αυτου εν πνευματι και δυναμει ηλιου επιστρεψαι καρδιας πατερων επι τεκνα και απειθεις εν φρονησει δικαιων ετοιμασαι κυριω λαον κατεσκευασμενον
18 And Zakaria said to the angel, How shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife many in her days.
και ειπεν ζαχαριας προς τον αγγελον κατα τι γνωσομαι τουτο εγω γαρ ειμι πρεσβυτης και η γυνη μου προβεβηκυια εν ταις ημεραις αυτης
19 And the angel answered and said to him, I am Gabriel, I stand before Aloha, and I have been sent to speak with thee and to announce to thee these things.
και αποκριθεις ο αγγελος ειπεν αυτω εγω ειμι γαβριηλ ο παρεστηκως ενωπιον του θεου και απεσταλην λαλησαι προς σε και ευαγγελισασθαι σοι ταυτα
20 From henceforth thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be able to speak, till the day when these things shall be done, because thou hast not believed these words, which shall be fulfilled in their time.
και ιδου εση σιωπων και μη δυναμενος λαλησαι αχρι ης ημερας γενηται ταυτα ανθ ων ουκ επιστευσας τοις λογοις μου οιτινες πληρωθησονται εις τον καιρον αυτων
21 But the people were standing, and expecting Zakaria. and were wondering at his delay in the temple.
και ην ο λαος προσδοκων τον ζαχαριαν και εθαυμαζον εν τω χρονιζειν αυτον εν τω ναω
22 But when Zakaria had come forth, he could not speak to them; and he made them understand that he had seen a vision in the temple, and signing he signed to them, and remained dumb.
εξελθων δε ουκ ηδυνατο λαλησαι αυτοις και επεγνωσαν οτι οπτασιαν εωρακεν εν τω ναω και αυτος ην διανευων αυτοις και διεμενεν κωφος
23 And when the days of his service were fulfilled, he came to his house.
και εγενετο ως επλησθησαν αι ημεραι της λειτουργιας αυτου απηλθεν εις τον οικον αυτου
24 And it was after those days Elishaba his wife conceived, and she secluded herself five months.
μετα δε ταυτας τας ημερας συνελαβεν ελισαβετ η γυνη αυτου και περιεκρυβεν εαυτην μηνας πεντε λεγουσα
25 And she said, These things hath the Lord done for me in the days of my desolation, to take away my reproach from among the children of men.
οτι ουτως μοι πεποιηκεν ο κυριος εν ημεραις αις επειδεν αφελειν το ονειδος μου εν ανθρωποις
26 BUT in the sixth month Gabriel the angel was sent from before Aloha to Galila, to a city whose name (is) Natsrath,
εν δε τω μηνι τω εκτω απεσταλη ο αγγελος γαβριηλ υπο του θεου εις πολιν της γαλιλαιας η ονομα ναζαρετ
27 unto a Virgin espoused to a man whose name was Jauseph, of the house of David, and the name of the Virgin was Mariam.
προς παρθενον μεμνηστευμενην ανδρι ω ονομα ιωσηφ εξ οικου δαυιδ και το ονομα της παρθενου μαριαμ
28 And the angel entered to her, and said to her, Peace to thee, full of grace! our Lord is with thee, thou blessed among women!
και εισελθων ο αγγελος προς αυτην ειπεν χαιρε κεχαριτωμενη ο κυριος μετα σου ευλογημενη συ εν γυναιξιν
29 But she, when she saw, was troubled at his words, and reasoned what this salutation was.
η δε ιδουσα διεταραχθη επι τω λογω αυτου και διελογιζετο ποταπος ειη ο ασπασμος ουτος
30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mariam, for thou hast found favour with Aloha.
και ειπεν ο αγγελος αυτη μη φοβου μαριαμ ευρες γαρ χαριν παρα τω θεω
31 For, behold, thou shalt conceive, and shalt bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jeshu.
και ιδου συλληψη εν γαστρι και τεξη υιον και καλεσεις το ονομα αυτου ιησουν
32 He will be great, and the Son of the Most High shall he be called, and Aloha the Lord shall give unto him the throne of David his father.
ουτος εσται μεγας και υιος υψιστου κληθησεται και δωσει αυτω κυριος ο θεος τον θρονον δαυιδ του πατρος αυτου
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jakub for ever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
και βασιλευσει επι τον οικον ιακωβ εις τους αιωνας και της βασιλειας αυτου ουκ εσται τελος (aiōn g165)
34 And Mariam said to the angel, How shall this be, because a man is not known to me?
ειπεν δε μαριαμ προς τον αγγελον πως εσται τουτο επει ανδρα ου γινωσκω
35 The angel answered and said to her, The Spirit of Holiness shall come, and the Power of the Most High shall shadow over thee; on account of this He who (shall be) born from thee is the Holy, and the Son of Aloha shall be called.
και αποκριθεις ο αγγελος ειπεν αυτη πνευμα αγιον επελευσεται επι σε και δυναμις υψιστου επισκιασει σοι διο και το γεννωμενον αγιον κληθησεται υιος θεου
36 And behold, Elishaba thy kinswoman, she also beareth a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her, -to her who is called the barren.
και ιδου ελισαβετ η συγγενης σου και αυτη συνειληφυια υιον εν γηρει αυτης και ουτος μην εκτος εστιν αυτη τη καλουμενη στειρα
37 For nothing is difficult to Aloha.
οτι ουκ αδυνατησει παρα τω θεω παν ρημα
38 And Mariam said, Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord, be it unto me as thou hast said. And the angel went from her.
ειπεν δε μαριαμ ιδου η δουλη κυριου γενοιτο μοι κατα το ρημα σου και απηλθεν απ αυτης ο αγγελος
39 AND Mariam arose in those days, and went with haste to the mountain to a city of Jehud;
αναστασα δε μαριαμ εν ταις ημεραις ταυταις επορευθη εις την ορεινην μετα σπουδης εις πολιν ιουδα
40 and she entered into the house of Zakaria, and saluted Elishaba.
και εισηλθεν εις τον οικον ζαχαριου και ησπασατο την ελισαβετ
41 And it was that when Elishaba heard the salutation of Mariam, the infant leaped in her womb. And she was filled with the Spirit of Holiness;
και εγενετο ως ηκουσεν η ελισαβετ τον ασπασμον της μαριας εσκιρτησεν το βρεφος εν τη κοιλια αυτης και επλησθη πνευματος αγιου η ελισαβετ
42 and she cried with a loud voice, and said unto Mariam, Blessed art thou among women, And blessed is the fruit of thy womb!
και ανεφωνησεν φωνη μεγαλη και ειπεν ευλογημενη συ εν γυναιξιν και ευλογημενος ο καρπος της κοιλιας σου
43 Whence unto me is this, That the mother of my Lord should come to me?
και ποθεν μοι τουτο ινα ελθη η μητηρ του κυριου μου προς με
44 For, lo, as fell the voice of thy salutation on my ears, For great Joy leaped the infant in my womb.
ιδου γαρ ως εγενετο η φωνη του ασπασμου σου εις τα ωτα μου εσκιρτησεν το βρεφος εν αγαλλιασει εν τη κοιλια μου
45 And happy is she who hath believed, For there is a fulfilment of those things which have been spoken to her from the Lord.
και μακαρια η πιστευσασα οτι εσται τελειωσις τοις λελαλημενοις αυτη παρα κυριου
46 And Mariam said: My soul doth magnify the Lord,
και ειπεν μαριαμ μεγαλυνει η ψυχη μου τον κυριον
47 And my spirit rejoiceth in Aloha my Saviour,
και ηγαλλιασεν το πνευμα μου επι τω θεω τω σωτηρι μου
48 Who hath looked upon the lowliness of his handmaid: For, behold, from now all generations shall give blessedness to me.
οτι επεβλεψεν επι την ταπεινωσιν της δουλης αυτου ιδου γαρ απο του νυν μακαριουσιν με πασαι αι γενεαι
49 Because he hath done for me great things, he who is mighty, And holy is his name.
οτι εποιησεν μοι μεγαλεια ο δυνατος και αγιον το ονομα αυτου
50 And his grace is for ages and generations Upon those who fear him.
και το ελεος αυτου εις γενεας γενεων τοις φοβουμενοις αυτον
51 He hath wrought victory with his arm; He hath scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
εποιησεν κρατος εν βραχιονι αυτου διεσκορπισεν υπερηφανους διανοια καρδιας αυτων
52 He hath overturned the mighty from their thrones, And hath exalted the humble.
καθειλεν δυναστας απο θρονων και υψωσεν ταπεινους
53 The hungry he hath satisfied with good things, And the rich he hath sent away empty.
πεινωντας ενεπλησεν αγαθων και πλουτουντας εξαπεστειλεν κενους
54 He hath helped Isroel his servant, And hath remembered his mercy;
αντελαβετο ισραηλ παιδος αυτου μνησθηναι ελεους
καθως ελαλησεν προς τους πατερας ημων τω αβρααμ και τω σπερματι αυτου εως αιωνος (aiōn g165)
56 And Mariam stayed with Elishaba three months, and returned to her house.
εμεινεν δε μαριαμ συν αυτη ωσει μηνας τρεις και υπεστρεψεν εις τον οικον αυτης
57 BUT to Elishaba had come the time that she should give birth, and she gave birth to a son.
τη δε ελισαβετ επλησθη ο χρονος του τεκειν αυτην και εγεννησεν υιον
58 And her neighbours and the sons of her family heard that Aloha had magnified his grace upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
και ηκουσαν οι περιοικοι και οι συγγενεις αυτης οτι εμεγαλυνεν κυριος το ελεος αυτου μετ αυτης και συνεχαιρον αυτη
59 And it was the eighth day, and they came to circumcise the child; and they called him by the name of his father, Zakaria.
και εγενετο εν τη ογδοη ημερα ηλθον περιτεμειν το παιδιον και εκαλουν αυτο επι τω ονοματι του πατρος αυτου ζαχαριαν
60 And his mother answered and said to them, Not so; but he shall be called Juchanon.
και αποκριθεισα η μητηρ αυτου ειπεν ουχι αλλα κληθησεται ιωαννης
61 And they said to her, No man in thy kindred is called by this name.
και ειπον προς αυτην οτι ουδεις εστιν εν τη συγγενεια σου ος καλειται τω ονοματι τουτω
62 And they signed to his father (to show) how he willed they should call him.
ενενευον δε τω πατρι αυτου το τι αν θελοι καλεισθαι αυτον
63 And he requested a tablet, and wrote, and said, Juchanan is his name. And every man wondered.
και αιτησας πινακιδιον εγραψεν λεγων ιωαννης εσται το ονομα αυτου και εθαυμασαν παντες
64 And immediately his mouth and his tongue were opened, and he spake, and blessed Aloha.
ανεωχθη δε το στομα αυτου παραχρημα και η γλωσσα αυτου και ελαλει ευλογων τον θεον
65 And there was fear upon all around them; and in all the hill country of Jehud were these things spoken.
και εγενετο επι παντας φοβος τους περιοικουντας αυτους και εν ολη τη ορεινη της ιουδαιας διελαλειτο παντα τα ρηματα ταυτα
66 And all who heard reasoned in their hearts, and said, What is this child to be? And the hand of the Lord was with him.
και εθεντο παντες οι ακουσαντες εν τη καρδια αυτων λεγοντες τι αρα το παιδιον τουτο εσται και χειρ κυριου ην μετ αυτου
67 And Zakaria his father was filled with the Spirit of Holiness, and he prophesied, and said:
και ζαχαριας ο πατηρ αυτου επλησθη πνευματος αγιου και προεφητευσεν λεγων
68 Blessed be the Lord, the Aloha of Israel; For he hath visited his people, and wrought for him redemption,
ευλογητος κυριος ο θεος του ισραηλ οτι επεσκεψατο και εποιησεν λυτρωσιν τω λαω αυτου
69 And hath raised up for us the horn of redemption In the house of David his servant;
και ηγειρεν κερας σωτηριας ημιν εν τω οικω δαυιδ του παιδος αυτου
καθως ελαλησεν δια στοματος των αγιων των απ αιωνος προφητων αυτου (aiōn g165)
71 That we should be delivered from our adversaries, And from the hand of all who hate us;
σωτηριαν εξ εχθρων ημων και εκ χειρος παντων των μισουντων ημας
72 To perform his grace with our fathers, And to remember his holy covenant;
ποιησαι ελεος μετα των πατερων ημων και μνησθηναι διαθηκης αγιας αυτου
73 The oath which he sware to Abraham our father, -
ορκον ον ωμοσεν προς αβρααμ τον πατερα ημων
74 That to us he would grant That, being delivered from the hand of our adversaries, Without fear we might serve before him
του δουναι ημιν αφοβως εκ χειρος των εχθρων ημων ρυσθεντας λατρευειν αυτω
75 All our days in righteousness.
εν οσιοτητι και δικαιοσυνη ενωπιον αυτου πασας τας ημερας της ζωης ημων
76 And thou, child, the Prophet of the Most High Shalt thou be called; For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, And thou shalt prepare his way;
και συ παιδιον προφητης υψιστου κληθηση προπορευση γαρ προ προσωπου κυριου ετοιμασαι οδους αυτου
77 To give the knowledge of salvation to his people In the forgiveness of their sins,
του δουναι γνωσιν σωτηριας τω λαω αυτου εν αφεσει αμαρτιων αυτων
78 Through the compassions of the grace of our Aloha; Whereby the morn-splendour shall visit us from on high,
δια σπλαγχνα ελεους θεου ημων εν οις επεσκεψατο ημας ανατολη εξ υψους
79 To illumine those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death. And to direct our feet into the way of peace.
επιφαναι τοις εν σκοτει και σκια θανατου καθημενοις του κατευθυναι τους ποδας ημων εις οδον ειρηνης
80 And the child grew, and was strong in the spirit, and was in the desert till the day of his manifestation unto Isroel.
το δε παιδιον ηυξανεν και εκραταιουτο πνευματι και ην εν ταις ερημοις εως ημερας αναδειξεως αυτου προς τον ισραηλ
