Seeing that many have taken it in hand to draw up an account of those matters which have been fully established among us,
| ܐܝܟ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܫܠܡܘ ܠܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܗܘܘ ܚܙܝܐ ܘܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܕܡܠܬܐ | 2 |
just as they reported them to us, who were from beginning eye- witnesses and ministers of the word,
| ܐܬܚܙܝ ܐܦ ܠܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܩܪܝܒ ܗܘܝܬ ܝܨܝܦܐܝܬ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܒܛܟܤܗ ܐܟܬܘܒ ܠܟ ܢܨܝܚܐ ܬܐܘܦܝܠܐ | 3 |
it seemed good to me also accurately, from the very beginning, to write them to you in order, most excellent Theophilus,
| ܕܬܕܥ ܫܪܪܐ ܕܡܠܐ ܕܐܬܬܠܡܕܬ ܠܗܝܢ | 4 |
so that you may know the certainty of the story which you have been taught by the word of mouth.
| ܗܘܐ ܒܝܘܡܬܗ ܕܗܪܘܕܤ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܟܗܢܐ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܒܝܐ ܘܐܢܬܬܗ ܡܢ ܒܢܬܗ ܕܐܗܪܘܢ ܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܐܠܝܫܒܥ | 5 |
In the reign of Herod, King of Judea, there was a certain priest, named Zachariah, belonging to the class of Abijah. He had a wife named Elizabeth,
| ܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܙܕܝܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܘܗܝ ܘܒܟܐܢܘܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܥܕܠܝ | 6 |
who was a descendant of Aaron. They were both righteous in the sight of the Lord, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the law, blameless.
| ܒܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܥܩܪܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܤܓܝܐܝ ܒܝܘܡܬܗܘܢ ܗܘܘ | 7 |
Now they had no child, for Elizabeth was barren, and both were far advanced in years.
| ܗܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܟܗܢ ܗܘܐ ܒܛܟܤܐ ܕܬܫܡܫܬܗ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ | 8 |
Now while Zachariah was acting as priest before God in the due course of his class, it fell to his lot, according to the custom of priesthood,
| ܒܥܝܕܐ ܕܟܗܢܘܬܐ ܡܛܝܗܝ ܕܢܤܝܡ ܒܤܡܐ ܘܥܠ ܠܗܝܟܠܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ | 9 |
to enter into the sanctuary of the Lord and to burn incense.
| ܘܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܡܨܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܒܪ ܒܥܕܢܐ ܕܒܤܡܐ | 10 |
And the whole multitude of the people were without, praying at the hour of incense.
| ܘܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܗ ܠܙܟܪܝܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܐ ܕܡܕܒܚܐ ܕܒܤܡܐ | 11 |
Then there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
| ܘܐܫܬܓܫ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܘܕܚܠܬܐ ܢܦܠܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ | 12 |
And as he saw him Zachariah was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܫܬܡܥܬ ܨܠܘܬܟ ܘܐܢܬܬܟ ܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܬܐܠܕ ܠܟ ܒܪܐ ܘܬܩܪܐ ܫܡܗ ܝܘܚܢܢ | 13 |
But the Angel said to him. "Do not be afraid, Zachariah, because your petition has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.
| ܘܬܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܚܕܘܬܐ ܘܐܪܘܙܐ ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܢܚܕܘܢ ܒܡܘܠܕܗ | 14 |
"And he shall be to you a joy and an exultation, and many shall rejoice over his birth.
| ܢܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܪܒ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܚܡܪܐ ܘܫܟܪܐ ܠܐ ܢܫܬܐ ܘܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܢܬܡܠܐ ܥܕ ܗܘ ܒܟܪܤܐ ܕܐܡܗ | 15 |
"For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, "He shall drink neither wine nor strong drink, "He shall be filled with the Holy Spirit from the hour of his birth,
| ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܢܦܢܐ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗܘܢ | 16 |
"And shall win many of the sons of Israel to the Lord, their God.
| ܘܗܘ ܢܐܙܠ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܘܒܚܝܠܐ ܕܐܠܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܢܦܢܐ ܠܒܐ ܕܐܒܗܐ ܥܠ ܒܢܝܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܛܦܝܤܝܢ ܠܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܟܐܢܐ ܘܢܛܝܒ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܥܡܐ ܓܡܝܪܐ | 17 |
"He shall go before Him in the wisdom and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, and so to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him."
| ܘܐܡܪ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܠܡܠܐܟܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܕܥ ܗܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܬܝ ܤܒܐ ܘܐܢܬܬܝ ܤܓܝܐܬ ܒܝܘܡܬܗ ܗܝ | 18 |
"How shall I be sure of this?" said Zachariah to the Angel. "For I am an old man and my wife is advanced in years."
| ܘܥܢܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܓܒܪܝܐܝܠ ܕܩܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܫܬܠܚܬ ܕܐܡܠܠ ܥܡܟ ܘܐܤܒܪܟ ܗܠܝܢ | 19 |
"I am Gabriel," answered the angel, "who stand in the presence of God; and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring and to bring you this good news.
| ܡܟܝܠ ܬܗܘܐ ܫܬܝܩ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܟܚ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܢܗܘܝܢ ܥܠ ܕܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܬ ܠܡܠܝ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܡܠܝܢ ܒܙܒܢܗܝܢ | 20 |
"And now you shall be silent and unable to speak until the day the day when this has taken place; because you did not believe my words - Words which will be fulfilled at their appointed time."
| ܥܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܤܟܐ ܠܙܟܪܝܐ ܘܬܡܝܗܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠ ܬܘܚܪܬܗ ܕܒܗܝܟܠܐ | 21 |
Meanwhile the people were waiting for Zachariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the sanctuary.
| ܟܕ ܢܦܩ ܕܝܢ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܘܐܤܬܟܠܘ ܕܚܙܘܐ ܚܙܐ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܗܘ ܡܪܡܙ ܪܡܙ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܩܘܝ ܟܕ ܚܪܫ | 22 |
And when he came out he could not speak to them, and then they knew that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them and remained dumb.
| ܘܟܕ ܐܬܡܠܝܘ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܬܫܡܫܬܗ ܐܙܠ ܠܒܝܬܗ | 23 |
As soon as his term of priestly service was ended he went home;
| ܘܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܒܛܢܬ ܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܡܛܫܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܢܦܫܗ ܝܪܚܐ ܚܡܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܗܘܬ | 24 |
and after those days Elizabeth, his wife, Conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying.
| ܕܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܚܪ ܒܝ ܠܡܤܒ ܚܤܕܝ ܕܒܝܬ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ | 25 |
"This has the Lord done for me. He has now deigned to take the away my reproach among men."
| ܒܝܪܚܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܬܐ ܐܫܬܠܚ ܓܒܪܝܐܝܠ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܓܠܝܠܐ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܢܨܪܬ | 26 |
Six months later the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee, called Nazareth,
| ܠܘܬ ܒܬܘܠܬܐ ܕܡܟܝܪܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܝܘܤܦ ܡܢ ܒܝܬܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܘܫܡܗ ܠܒܬܘܠܬܐ ܡܪܝܡ | 27 |
to a maiden betrothed to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. Her name was Mary.
| ܘܥܠ ܠܘܬܗ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܠܡ ܠܟܝ ܡܠܝܬ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܡܪܢ ܥܡܟܝ ܒܪܝܟܬ ܒܢܫܐ | 28 |
The angel went in and said to her. "Joy to you, highly favored one! "The Lord is with you."
| ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܚܙܬ ܐܬܪܗܒܬ ܒܡܠܬܗ ܘܡܬܚܫܒܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܡܢܐ ܗܘ ܫܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ | 29 |
Mary was greatly agitated at his word, and was revolving in her mind what this salutation could mean.
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܝܢ ܡܪܝܡ ܐܫܟܚܬܝ ܓܝܪ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ | 30 |
when the angel said to her. "Fear not Mary, for you have found grace with God.
| ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܬܩܒܠܝܢ ܒܛܢܐ ܘܬܐܠܕܝܢ ܒܪܐ ܘܬܩܪܝܢ ܫܡܗ ܝܫܘܥ | 31 |
"And behold, you shall conceive in your womb and bear a son; and you shall call his name Jesus.
| ܗܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܪܒ ܘܒܪܗ ܕܥܠܝܐ ܢܬܩܪܐ ܘܢܬܠ ܠܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܟܘܪܤܝܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܐܒܘܗܝ | 32 |
"He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High. "And the Lord God will give him the throne of his forefather David,
| ܘܢܡܠܟ ܥܠ ܒܝܬܗ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ ܠܥܠܡ ܘܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܤܘܦ ܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ (aiōn g165) | 33 |
"and he shall reign over the House of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end." (aiōn g165)
| ܐܡܪܐ ܡܪܝܡ ܠܡܠܐܟܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܠܐ ܚܟܝܡ ܠܝ | 34 |
And Mary said to the angel. "How can this be? For I have no husband?"
| ܥܢܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܬܐܬܐ ܘܚܝܠܗ ܕܥܠܝܐ ܢܓܢ ܥܠܝܟܝ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܬܝܠܕ ܒܟܝ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܗܘ ܘܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܬܩܪܐ | 35 |
"The Holy Spirit shall come upon you," said the angel, "and the power of the most High shall overshadow you, and therefore the holy offspring which is born, shall be called the son of God.
| ܘܗܐ ܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܐܚܝܢܬܟܝ ܐܦ ܗܝ ܒܛܢܐ ܒܪܐ ܒܤܝܒܘܬܗ ܘܗܢܐ ܝܪܚܐ ܕܫܬܐ ܠܗ ܠܗܝ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܥܩܪܬܐ | 36 |
"And behold your kinswoman, Elizabeth, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this was the sixth month with her that was called barren.
| ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܥܛܠ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܡܕܡ | 37 |
"For no word of God shall be void of power."
| ܐܡܪܐ ܡܪܝܡ ܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܐܝܟ ܡܠܬܟ ܘܐܙܠ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܡܢ ܠܘܬܗ | 38 |
Then Mary said. "Behold I am Lord’s slave. Let it be to me as you have said." Then the angel departed from her.
| ܩܡܬ ܕܝܢ ܡܪܝܡ ܒܗܘܢ ܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܘܐܙܠܬ ܒܛܝܠܐܝܬ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕ | 39 |
Soon after this Mary set out and hastened unto the hill-country to a town in Judah;
| ܘܥܠܬ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܙܟܪܝܐ ܘܫܐܠܬ ܫܠܡܗ ܕܐܠܝܫܒܥ | 40 |
and there she came into the house of Zachariah, and greeted Elizabeth.
| ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܫܡܥܬ ܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܫܠܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܡ ܕܨ ܥܘܠܐ ܒܟܪܤܗ ܘܐܬܡܠܝܬ ܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ | 41 |
And when Elizabeth heard her salutation, the babe leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth herself was filled with the Holy Spirit,
| ܘܩܥܬ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܐܡܪܬ ܠܡܪܝܡ ܡܒܪܟܬܐ ܐܢܬܝ ܒܢܫܐ ܘܡܒܪܟ ܗܘ ܦܐܪܐ ܕܒܟܪܤܟܝ | 42 |
and called out with a loud cry. "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is your unborn child!
| ܐܝܡܟܐ ܠܝ ܗܕܐ ܕܐܡܗ ܕܡܪܝ ܬܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ | 43 |
"But why is this honor done me, that the mother of my Lord should come me?
| ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܟܕ ܢܦܠ ܩܠܐ ܕܫܠܡܟܝ ܒܐܕܢܝ ܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܕܨ ܥܘܠܐ ܒܟܪܤܝ | 44 |
"For behold when the sound of your salutation reached my ears, the babe leaped with joy within my womb.
| ܘܛܘܒܝܗ ܠܐܝܕܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܬ ܕܗܘܐ ܫܘܠܡܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܡܠܠ ܥܡܗ ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܝܐ | 45 |
"And blessed is she who believed that the Lord’s words spoken to her would be fulfilled."
| ܘܐܡܪܬ ܡܪܝܡ ܡܘܪܒܐ ܢܦܫܝ ܠܡܪܝܐ | 46 |
And Mary said. "My soul doth magnify the Lord,
| ܘܚܕܝܬ ܪܘܚܝ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܡܚܝܢܝ | 47 |
"My spirit exults in the God, who is my Saviour,
| ܕܚܪ ܒܡܘܟܟܐ ܕܐܡܬܗ ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܗܫܐ ܛܘܒܐ ܢܬܠܢ ܠܝ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܟܠܗܝܢ | 48 |
"For he has regarded the humiliation of his slave, And from this hour all ages will count me blessed.
| ܕܥܒܕ ܠܘܬܝ ܪܘܪܒܬܐ ܗܘ ܕܚܝܠܬܢ ܘܩܕܝܫ ܫܡܗ | 49 |
"For he who is mighty has done great things for me; And holy is his name.
| ܘܚܢܢܗ ܠܕܪܐ ܘܫܪܒܬܐ ܥܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܚܠܝܢ ܠܗ | 50 |
"His mercy is unto generations and generations on those who reverence him.
| ܥܒܕ ܙܟܘܬܐ ܒܕܪܥܗ ܘܒܕܪ ܚܬܝܪܝ ܒܬܪܥܝܬܐ ܕܠܒܗܘܢ | 51 |
"He has showed strength with his arm. "He has scattered proud in the imagination of their hearts;
| ܤܚܦ ܬܩܝܦܐ ܡܢ ܟܘܪܤܘܬܐ ܘܐܪܝܡ ܡܟܝܟܐ | 52 |
"he has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted those of low degree.
| ܟܦܢܐ ܤܒܥ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܥܬܝܪܐ ܫܪܐ ܤܦܝܩܐܝܬ | 53 |
"The hungry he has filled with good things, But the rich he has sent empty away.
| ܥܕܪ ܠܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܥܒܕܗ ܘܐܬܕܟܪ ܚܢܢܗ | 54 |
"He has helped Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
| ܐܝܟ ܕܡܠܠ ܥܡ ܐܒܗܝܢ ܥܡ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܥܡ ܙܪܥܗ ܠܥܠܡ (aiōn g165) | 55 |
"As he spoke to our forefathers, to Abraham and his offspring forever." (aiōn g165)
| ܩܘܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܡܪܝܡ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܐܝܟ ܝܪܚܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܘܗܦܟܬ ܠܒܝܬܗ | 56 |
So Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and returned home.
| ܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܕܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܬܐܠܕ ܘܝܠܕܬ ܒܪܐ | 57 |
Now when the time of Elizabeth’s delivery was come, she gave birth to a son;
| ܘܫܡܥܘ ܫܒܒܝܗ ܘܒܢܝ ܛܘܗܡܗ ܕܐܤܓܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܢܢܗ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܚܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ | 58 |
and her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her,
| ܘܗܘܐ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܬܡܢܝܐ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܡܓܙܪܗ ܠܛܠܝܐ ܘܩܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܒܫܡܐ ܕܐܒܘܗܝ ܙܟܪܝܐ | 59 |
and came on the eighth day to circumcise the child. They were about to call him "Zachariah," after his father,
| ܘܥܢܬ ܐܡܗ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܢܬܩܪܐ ܝܘܚܢܢ | 60 |
when his mother said, "No, he is to be called John."
| ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܕܠܝܬ ܐܢܫ ܒܫܪܒܬܟܝ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܒܫܡܐ ܗܢܐ | 61 |
Said they, "You have no relatives of that name!"
| ܘܪܡܙܘ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܨܒܐ ܕܢܫܡܝܘܗܝ | 62 |
Then they asked his father by signs what he wished to call the child.
| ܘܫܐܠ ܦܢܩܝܬܐ ܘܟܬܒ ܘܐܡܪ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܗܘ ܫܡܗ ܘܐܬܕܡܪܘ ܟܠܢܫ | 63 |
So he asked for a writing tablet and wrote down, "His name is John."
| ܘܡܚܕܐ ܐܬܦܬܚ ܦܘܡܗ ܘܠܫܢܗ ܘܡܠܠ ܘܒܪܟ ܠܐܠܗܐ | 64 |
Every one was surprised, and at once his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.
| ܘܗܘܬ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܫܒܒܝܗܘܢ ܘܒܟܠܗ ܛܘܪܐ ܕܝܗܘܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܬܡܠܠܢ ܗܘܝ | 65 |
And there came a great fear upon all in the neighborhood; and throughout the hill country of Judea all these sayings were much talked about.
| ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܢܐ ܟܝ ܢܗܘܐ ܛܠܝܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܐܝܕܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܥܡܗ | 66 |
All the story laid it up in their hearts, saying "What, then, will this child be?" For the Lord’s hands was with him.
| ܘܐܬܡܠܝ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܐܬܢܒܝ ܘܐܡܪ | 67 |
And his father, Zachariah, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying.
| ܡܒܪܟ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗ ܕܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܕܤܥܪ ܥܡܗ ܘܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ | 68 |
"Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, For he has visited and redeemed his people,
| ܘܐܩܝܡ ܠܢ ܩܪܢܐ ܕܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܥܒܕܗ | 69 |
"And has raised up a mighty Deliverer for us In the house of his servant David,
| ܐܝܟ ܕܡܠܠ ܒܦܘܡܐ ܕܢܒܝܘܗܝ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܡܢ ܥܠܡ (aiōn g165) | 70 |
"As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets Which have been since the world began (aiōn g165)
| ܕܢܦܪܩܢ ܡܢ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܢ ܘܡܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܤܢܐܝܢ | 71 |
To deliver us from our enemies, and from the power Of all who hate us.
| ܘܥܒܕ ܚܢܢܗ ܥܡ ܐܒܗܝܢ ܘܥܗܕ ܠܕܝܬܩܘܗܝ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ | 72 |
"He showed mercy to our forefathers, He remembered his holy covenant,
| ܘܡܘܡܬܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܠܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܒܘܢ ܕܢܬܠ ܠܢ | 73 |
"The oath which he swore to Abraham, our forefather,

"That he we should be delivered out of the Hand of our enemies, And should serve him without fear,
| ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܢ ܒܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ | 75 |
"In holiness and righteousness before him All our days.
| ܘܐܢܬ ܛܠܝܐ ܢܒܝܗ ܕܥܠܝܐ ܬܬܩܪܐ ܬܐܙܠ ܓܝܪ ܩܕܡ ܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܬܛܝܒ ܐܘܪܚܗ | 76 |
"And thou, child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Most High, For thou shalt go before the Lord to prepare the way
| ܕܢܬܠ ܡܕܥܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܠܥܡܗ ܒܫܘܒܩܢܐ ܕܚܛܗܝܗܘܢ | 77 |
"To give to his people a knowledge of salvation Through the remission of their sins,
| ܒܪܚܡܐ ܕܚܢܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܢ ܕܒܗܘܢ ܢܤܥܪܢ ܕܢܚܐ ܡܢ ܪܘܡܐ | 78 |
"Through the heart of mercy of our God, Whereby the Dayspring from on high shall visit us,
| ܠܡܢܗܪܘ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܚܫܘܟܐ ܘܒܛܠܠܐ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܝܬܒܝܢ ܕܢܬܪܘܨ ܪܓܠܝܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܫܠܡܐ | 79 |
"To give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, And to guide our feet into the paths of peace."
| ܛܠܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܪܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܬܚܝܠ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܘܒܚܘܪܒܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܬܚܘܝܬܗ ܕܠܘܬ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ | 80 |
And the child grew, and became strong in the Spirit, and remained in the desert till the day of his showing to Israel.
