Luke 1
1 Seeing that many did take in hand to set in order a narration of the matters that have been fully assured among us,
επειδηπερ πολλοι επεχειρησαν αναταξασθαι διηγησιν περι των πεπληροφορημενων εν ημιν πραγματων
2 as they did deliver to us, who from the beginning became eye-witnesses, and officers of the Word, —
καθως παρεδοσαν ημιν οι απ αρχης αυτοπται και υπηρεται γενομενοι του λογου
3 it seemed good also to me, having followed from the first after all things exactly, to write to thee in order, most noble Theophilus,
εδοξεν καμοι παρηκολουθηκοτι ανωθεν πασιν ακριβως καθεξης σοι γραψαι κρατιστε θεοφιλε
4 that thou mayest know the certainty of the things wherein thou wast instructed.
ινα επιγνως περι ων κατηχηθης λογων την ασφαλειαν
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Abijah, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elisabeth;
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 righteous before God, going on in all the commands and righteousnesses of the Lord blameless,
ησαν δε δικαιοι αμφοτεροι ενωπιον του θεου πορευομενοι εν πασαις ταις εντολαις και δικαιωμασιν του κυριου αμεμπτοι
7 and they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and both were advanced in their days.
και ουκ ην αυτοις τεκνον καθοτι η ελισαβετ ην στειρα και αμφοτεροι προβεβηκοτες εν ταις ημεραις αυτων ησαν
8 And it came to pass, in his acting as priest, in the order of his course before God,
εγενετο δε εν τω ιερατευειν αυτον εν τη ταξει της εφημεριας αυτου εναντι του θεου
9 according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot was to make perfume, having gone into the sanctuary of the Lord,
κατα το εθος της ιερατειας ελαχεν του θυμιασαι εισελθων εις τον ναον του κυριου
10 and all the multitude of the people were praying without, at the hour of the perfume.
και παν το πληθος του λαου ην προσευχομενον εξω τη ωρα του θυμιαματος
11 And there appeared to him a messenger of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of the perfume,
ωφθη δε αυτω αγγελος κυριου εστως εκ δεξιων του θυσιαστηριου του θυμιαματος
12 and Zacharias, having seen, was troubled, and fear fell on him;
και εταραχθη ζαχαριας ιδων και φοβος επεπεσεν επ αυτον
13 and the messenger said unto him, 'Fear not, Zacharias, for thy supplication was heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name John,
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 there shall be joy to thee, and gladness, and many at his birth shall joy,
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 drink he may not drink, and of the Holy Spirit he shall be full, even from his mother's womb;
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 Israel he shall turn to the Lord their God,
και πολλους των υιων ισραηλ επιστρεψει επι κυριον τον θεον αυτων
17 and he shall go before Him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn hearts of fathers unto children, and disobedient ones to the wisdom of righteous ones, to make ready for the Lord, a people prepared.'
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 Zacharias said unto the messenger, 'Whereby shall I know this? for I am aged, and my wife is advanced 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 messenger answering said to him, 'I am Gabriel, who have been standing near before God, and I was sent to speak unto thee, and to proclaim these good news to thee,
και αποκριθεις ο αγγελος ειπεν αυτω εγω ειμι γαβριηλ ο παρεστηκως ενωπιον του θεου και απεσταλην λαλησαι προς σε και ευαγγελισασθαι σοι ταυτα
20 and lo, thou shalt be silent, and not able to speak, till the day that these things shall come to pass, because thou didst not believe my words, that shall be fulfilled in their season.'
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 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and wondering at his tarrying in the sanctuary,
και ην ο λαος προσδοκων τον ζαχαριαν και εθαυμαζον εν τω χρονιζειν αυτον εν τω ναω
22 and having come out, he was not able to speak to them, and they perceived that a vision he had seen in the sanctuary, and he was beckoning to them, and did remain 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 it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he went away to his house,
και εγενετο ως επλησθησαν αι ημεραι της λειτουργιας αυτου απηλθεν εις τον οικον αυτου
24 and after those days, his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying —
μετα δε ταυτας τας ημερας συνελαβεν ελισαβετ η γυνη αυτου και περιεκρυβεν εαυτην μηνας πεντε λεγουσα
25 'Thus hath the Lord done to me, in days in which He looked upon [me], to take away my reproach among men.'
οτι ουτως μοι πεποιηκεν ο κυριος εν ημεραις αις επειδεν αφελειν το ονειδος μου εν ανθρωποις
26 And in the sixth month was the messenger Gabriel sent by God, to a city of Galilee, the name of which [is] Nazareth,
εν δε τω μηνι τω εκτω απεσταλη ο αγγελος γαβριηλ υπο του θεου εις πολιν της γαλιλαιας η ονομα ναζαρετ
27 to a virgin, betrothed to a man, whose name [is] Joseph, of the house of David, and the name of the virgin [is] Mary.
προς παρθενον μεμνηστευμενην ανδρι ω ονομα ιωσηφ εξ οικου δαυιδ και το ονομα της παρθενου μαριαμ
28 And the messenger having come in unto her, said, 'Hail, favoured one, the Lord [is] with thee; blessed [art] thou among women;'
και εισελθων ο αγγελος προς αυτην ειπεν χαιρε κεχαριτωμενη ο κυριος μετα σου ευλογημενη συ εν γυναιξιν
29 and she, having seen, was troubled at his word, and was reasoning of what kind this salutation may be.
η δε ιδουσα διεταραχθη επι τω λογω αυτου και διελογιζετο ποταπος ειη ο ασπασμος ουτος
30 And the messenger said to her, 'Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God;
και ειπεν ο αγγελος αυτη μη φοβου μαριαμ ευρες γαρ χαριν παρα τω θεω
31 and lo, thou shalt conceive in the womb, and shalt bring forth a son, and call his name Jesus;
και ιδου συλληψη εν γαστρι και τεξη υιον και καλεσεις το ονομα αυτου ιησουν
32 he shall be great, and Son of the Highest he shall be called, and the Lord God shall give 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 Jacob to the ages; and of his reign 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 Mary said unto the messenger, 'How shall this be, seeing a husband I do not know?'
ειπεν δε μαριαμ προς τον αγγελον πως εσται τουτο επει ανδρα ου γινωσκω
35 And the messenger answering said to her, 'The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee, therefore also the holy-begotten thing shall be called Son of God;
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 lo, Elisabeth, thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her who was called barren;
και ιδου ελισαβετ η συγγενης σου και αυτη συνειληφυια υιον εν γηρει αυτης και ουτος μην εκτος εστιν αυτη τη καλουμενη στειρα
37 because nothing shall be impossible with God.'
οτι ουκ αδυνατησει παρα τω θεω παν ρημα
38 And Mary said, 'Lo, the maid-servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to thy saying,' and the messenger went away from her.
ειπεν δε μαριαμ ιδου η δουλη κυριου γενοιτο μοι κατα το ρημα σου και απηλθεν απ αυτης ο αγγελος
39 And Mary having arisen in those days, went to the hill-country, with haste, to a city of Judea,
αναστασα δε μαριαμ εν ταις ημεραις ταυταις επορευθη εις την ορεινην μετα σπουδης εις πολιν ιουδα
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
και εισηλθεν εις τον οικον ζαχαριου και ησπασατο την ελισαβετ
41 And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe did leap in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
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 spake out with a loud voice, and said, '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 and whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord might come unto me?
και ποθεν μοι τουτο ινα ελθη η μητηρ του κυριου μου προς με
44 for, lo, when the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, leap in gladness did the babe 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 did believe, for there shall be a completion to the things spoken to her from the Lord.'
και μακαρια η πιστευσασα οτι εσται τελειωσις τοις λελαλημενοις αυτη παρα κυριου
46 And Mary said, 'My soul doth magnify the Lord,
και ειπεν μαριαμ μεγαλυνει η ψυχη μου τον κυριον
47 And my spirit was glad on God my Saviour,
και ηγαλλιασεν το πνευμα μου επι τω θεω τω σωτηρι μου
48 Because He looked on the lowliness of His maid-servant, For, lo, henceforth call me happy shall all the generations,
οτι επεβλεψεν επι την ταπεινωσιν της δουλης αυτου ιδου γαρ απο του νυν μακαριουσιν με πασαι αι γενεαι
49 For He who is mighty did to me great things, And holy [is] His name,
οτι εποιησεν μοι μεγαλεια ο δυνατος και αγιον το ονομα αυτου
50 And His kindness [is] to generations of generations, To those fearing Him,
και το ελεος αυτου εις γενεας γενεων τοις φοβουμενοις αυτον
51 He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,
εποιησεν κρατος εν βραχιονι αυτου διεσκορπισεν υπερηφανους διανοια καρδιας αυτων
52 He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,
καθειλεν δυναστας απο θρονων και υψωσεν ταπεινους
53 The hungry He did fill with good, And the rich He sent away empty,
πεινωντας ενεπλησεν αγαθων και πλουτουντας εξαπεστειλεν κενους
54 He received again Israel His servant, To remember kindness,
αντελαβετο ισραηλ παιδος αυτου μνησθηναι ελεους
καθως ελαλησεν προς τους πατερας ημων τω αβρααμ και τω σπερματι αυτου εως αιωνος (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary remained with her about three months, and turned back to her house.
εμεινεν δε μαριαμ συν αυτη ωσει μηνας τρεις και υπεστρεψεν εις τον οικον αυτης
57 And to Elisabeth was the time fulfilled for her bringing forth, and she bare a son,
τη δε ελισαβετ επλησθη ο χρονος του τεκειν αυτην και εγεννησεν υιον
58 and the neighbours and her kindred heard that the Lord was making His kindness great with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
και ηκουσαν οι περιοικοι και οι συγγενεις αυτης οτι εμεγαλυνεν κυριος το ελεος αυτου μετ αυτης και συνεχαιρον αυτη
59 And it came to pass, on the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling him by the name of his father, Zacharias,
και εγενετο εν τη ογδοη ημερα ηλθον περιτεμειν το παιδιον και εκαλουν αυτο επι τω ονοματι του πατρος αυτου ζαχαριαν
60 and his mother answering said, 'No, but he shall be called John.'
και αποκριθεισα η μητηρ αυτου ειπεν ουχι αλλα κληθησεται ιωαννης
61 And they said unto her — 'There is none among thy kindred who is called by this name,'
και ειπον προς αυτην οτι ουδεις εστιν εν τη συγγενεια σου ος καλειται τω ονοματι τουτω
62 and they were making signs to his father, what he would wish him to be called,
ενενευον δε τω πατρι αυτου το τι αν θελοι καλεισθαι αυτον
63 and having asked for a tablet, he wrote, saying, 'John is his name;' and they did all wonder;
και αιτησας πινακιδιον εγραψεν λεγων ιωαννης εσται το ονομα αυτου και εθαυμασαν παντες
64 and his mouth was opened presently, and his tongue, and he was speaking, praising God.
ανεωχθη δε το στομα αυτου παραχρημα και η γλωσσα αυτου και ελαλει ευλογων τον θεον
65 And fear came upon all those dwelling around them, and in all the hill-country of Judea were all these sayings spoken of,
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 did lay them up in their hearts, saying, 'What then shall this child 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 Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and did prophesy, saying,
και ζαχαριας ο πατηρ αυτου επλησθη πνευματος αγιου και προεφητευσεν λεγων
68 'Blessed [is] the Lord, the God of Israel, Because He did look upon, And wrought redemption for His people,
ευλογητος κυριος ο θεος του ισραηλ οτι επεσκεψατο και εποιησεν λυτρωσιν τω λαω αυτου
69 And did raise an horn of salvation to us, 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 Salvation from our enemies, And out of the hand of all hating us,
σωτηριαν εξ εχθρων ημων και εκ χειρος παντων των μισουντων ημας
72 To do kindness with our fathers, And to be mindful of His holy covenant,
ποιησαι ελεος μετα των πατερων ημων και μνησθηναι διαθηκης αγιας αυτου
73 An oath that He sware to Abraham our father,
ορκον ον ωμοσεν προς αβρααμ τον πατερα ημων
74 To give to us, without fear, Out of the hand of our enemies having been delivered,
του δουναι ημιν αφοβως εκ χειρος των εχθρων ημων ρυσθεντας λατρευειν αυτω
75 To serve Him, in holiness and righteousness Before Him, all the days of our life.
εν οσιοτητι και δικαιοσυνη ενωπιον αυτου πασας τας ημερας της ζωης ημων
76 And thou, child, Prophet of the Highest Shalt thou be called; For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, To prepare His ways.
και συ παιδιον προφητης υψιστου κληθηση προπορευση γαρ προ προσωπου κυριου ετοιμασαι οδους αυτου
77 To give knowledge of salvation to His people In remission of their sins,
του δουναι γνωσιν σωτηριας τω λαω αυτου εν αφεσει αμαρτιων αυτων
78 Through the tender mercies of our God, In which the rising from on high did look upon us,
δια σπλαγχνα ελεους θεου ημων εν οις επεσκεψατο ημας ανατολη εξ υψους
79 To give light to those sitting in darkness and death-shade, To guide our feet to a 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 strengthened in spirit, and he was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
το δε παιδιον ηυξανεν και εκραταιουτο πνευματι και ην εν ταις ερημοις εως ημερας αναδειξεως αυτου προς τον ισραηλ
