| ܡܛܠ ܕܤܓܝܐܐ ܨܒܘ ܕܢܟܬܒܘܢ ܬܫܥܝܬܐ ܕܤܘܥܪܢܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܢܢ ܡܦܤܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܒܗܘܢ | 1 |
Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
| ܐܝܟ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܫܠܡܘ ܠܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܗܘܘ ܚܙܝܐ ܘܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܕܡܠܬܐ | 2 |
Even as they delivered them to us, who from the beginning were 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, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write to thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
| ܕܬܕܥ ܫܪܪܐ ܕܡܠܐ ܕܐܬܬܠܡܕܬ ܠܗܝܢ | 4 |
That thou mayest know the certainty of those things in which thou hast been instructed.
| ܗܘܐ ܒܝܘܡܬܗ ܕܗܪܘܕܤ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܟܗܢܐ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܒܝܐ ܘܐܢܬܬܗ ܡܢ ܒܢܬܗ ܕܐܗܪܘܢ ܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܐܠܝܫܒܥ | 5 |
There was in the days of Herod the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife [was] of the daughters of Aaron, and her name [was] Elisabeth.
| ܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܙܕܝܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܘܗܝ ܘܒܟܐܢܘܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܥܕܠܝ | 6 |
And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
| ܒܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܥܩܪܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܤܓܝܐܝ ܒܝܘܡܬܗܘܢ ܗܘܘ | 7 |
And they had no child, because Elisabeth was barren, and they both were far advanced in years.
| ܗܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܟܗܢ ܗܘܐ ܒܛܟܤܐ ܕܬܫܡܫܬܗ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ | 8 |
And it came to pass, that, while he executed the priests' office before God in the order of his course,
| ܒܥܝܕܐ ܕܟܗܢܘܬܐ ܡܛܝܗܝ ܕܢܤܝܡ ܒܤܡܐ ܘܥܠ ܠܗܝܟܠܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ | 9 |
According to the custom of the priests' office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
| ܘܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܡܨܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܒܪ ܒܥܕܢܐ ܕܒܤܡܐ | 10 |
And the whole multitude of the people were praying without, at the time of incense.
| ܘܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܗ ܠܙܟܪܝܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܐ ܕܡܕܒܚܐ ܕܒܤܡܐ | 11 |
And 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 when Zacharias saw [him], he 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, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
| ܘܬܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܚܕܘܬܐ ܘܐܪܘܙܐ ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܢܚܕܘܢ ܒܡܘܠܕܗ | 14 |
And thou shalt have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice at 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, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
| ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܢܦܢܐ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗܘܢ | 16 |
And many of the children of Israel shall he turn 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 |
And he shall 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.
| ܘܐܡܪ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܠܡܠܐܟܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܕܥ ܗܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܬܝ ܤܒܐ ܘܐܢܬܬܝ ܤܓܝܐܬ ܒܝܘܡܬܗ ܗܝ | 18 |
And Zacharias said to the angel, By what shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife far advanced in years.
| ܘܥܢܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܓܒܪܝܐܝܠ ܕܩܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܫܬܠܚܬ ܕܐܡܠܠ ܥܡܟ ܘܐܤܒܪܟ ܗܠܝܢ | 19 |
And the angel answering, said to him, I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak to thee, and to show thee these glad tidings.
| ܡܟܝܠ ܬܗܘܐ ܫܬܝܩ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܟܚ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܢܗܘܝܢ ܥܠ ܕܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܬ ܠܡܠܝ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܡܠܝܢ ܒܙܒܢܗܝܢ | 20 |
And behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words which shall be fulfilled in their season.
| ܥܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܤܟܐ ܠܙܟܪܝܐ ܘܬܡܝܗܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠ ܬܘܚܪܬܗ ܕܒܗܝܟܠܐ | 21 |
And the people waited for Zacharias, and marveled that he tarried so long in the temple.
| 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 they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; for he beckoned to them, and remained speechless.
| ܘܟܕ ܐܬܡܠܝܘ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܬܫܡܫܬܗ ܐܙܠ ܠܒܝܬܗ | 23 |
And it came to pass, that as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
| ܘܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܒܛܢܬ ܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܡܛܫܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܢܦܫܗ ܝܪܚܐ ܚܡܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܗܘܬ | 24 |
And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and secluded herself five months, saying,
| ܕܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܚܪ ܒܝ ܠܡܤܒ ܚܤܕܝ ܕܒܝܬ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ | 25 |
Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days in which he looked on [me], to take away my reproach among men.
| ܒܝܪܚܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܬܐ ܐܫܬܠܚ ܓܒܪܝܐܝܠ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܓܠܝܠܐ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܢܨܪܬ | 26 |
And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
| ܠܘܬ ܒܬܘܠܬܐ ܕܡܟܝܪܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܝܘܤܦ ܡܢ ܒܝܬܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܘܫܡܗ ܠܒܬܘܠܬܐ ܡܪܝܡ | 27 |
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name [was] Mary.
| ܘܥܠ ܠܘܬܗ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܠܡ ܠܟܝ ܡܠܝܬ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܡܪܢ ܥܡܟܝ ܒܪܝܟܬ ܒܢܫܐ | 28 |
And the angel came to her, and said, Hail, [thou that art] highly favored, the Lord [is] with thee: blessed [art] thou among women.
| ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܚܙܬ ܐܬܪܗܒܬ ܒܡܠܬܗ ܘܡܬܚܫܒܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܡܢܐ ܗܘ ܫܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ | 29 |
And when she saw [him], she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܝܢ ܡܪܝܡ ܐܫܟܚܬܝ ܓܝܪ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ | 30 |
And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God.
| ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܬܩܒܠܝܢ ܒܛܢܐ ܘܬܐܠܕܝܢ ܒܪܐ ܘܬܩܪܝܢ ܫܡܗ ܝܫܘܥ | 31 |
And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
| ܗܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܪܒ ܘܒܪܗ ܕܥܠܝܐ ܢܬܩܪܐ ܘܢܬܠ ܠܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܟܘܪܤܝܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܐܒܘܗܝ | 32 |
He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David.
| ܘܢܡܠܟ ܥܠ ܒܝܬܗ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ ܠܥܠܡ ܘܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܤܘܦ ܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ (aiōn g165) | 33 |
And he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there will be no end. (aiōn g165)
| ܐܡܪܐ ܡܪܝܡ ܠܡܠܐܟܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܠܐ ܚܟܝܡ ܠܝ | 34 |
Then said Mary to the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
| ܥܢܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܬܐܬܐ ܘܚܝܠܗ ܕܥܠܝܐ ܢܓܢ ܥܠܝܟܝ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܬܝܠܕ ܒܟܝ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܗܘ ܘܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܬܩܪܐ | 35 |
And the angel answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Highest will overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee 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, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren:
| ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܥܛܠ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܡܕܡ | 37 |
For with God nothing will be impossible.
| ܐܡܪܐ ܡܪܝܡ ܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܐܝܟ ܡܠܬܟ ܘܐܙܠ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܡܢ ܠܘܬܗ | 38 |
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
| ܩܡܬ ܕܝܢ ܡܪܝܡ ܒܗܘܢ ܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܘܐܙܠܬ ܒܛܝܠܐܝܬ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕ | 39 |
And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill-country with haste, into a city of Judah,
| ܘܥܠܬ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܙܟܪܝܐ ܘܫܐܠܬ ܫܠܡܗ ܕܐܠܝܫܒܥ | 40 |
And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
| ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܫܡܥܬ ܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܫܠܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܡ ܕܨ ܥܘܠܐ ܒܟܪܤܗ ܘܐܬܡܠܝܬ ܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ | 41 |
And it came to pass, that when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb: and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
| ܘܩܥܬ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܐܡܪܬ ܠܡܪܝܡ ܡܒܪܟܬܐ ܐܢܬܝ ܒܢܫܐ ܘܡܒܪܟ ܗܘ ܦܐܪܐ ܕܒܟܪܤܟܝ | 42 |
And she spoke with a loud voice, and said, Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb.
| ܐܝܡܟܐ ܠܝ ܗܕܐ ܕܐܡܗ ܕܡܪܝ ܬܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ | 43 |
And whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
| ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܟܕ ܢܦܠ ܩܠܐ ܕܫܠܡܟܝ ܒܐܕܢܝ ܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܕܨ ܥܘܠܐ ܒܟܪܤܝ | 44 |
For lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
| ܘܛܘܒܝܗ ܠܐܝܕܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܬ ܕܗܘܐ ܫܘܠܡܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܡܠܠ ܥܡܗ ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܝܐ | 45 |
And blessed [is] she that believed that there will be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
| ܘܐܡܪܬ ܡܪܝܡ ܡܘܪܒܐ ܢܦܫܝ ܠܡܪܝܐ | 46 |
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
| ܘܚܕܝܬ ܪܘܚܝ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܡܚܝܢܝ | 47 |
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior.
| ܕܚܪ ܒܡܘܟܟܐ ܕܐܡܬܗ ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܗܫܐ ܛܘܒܐ ܢܬܠܢ ܠܝ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܟܠܗܝܢ | 48 |
For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for behold, from henceforth all generations will call me blessed.
| ܕܥܒܕ ܠܘܬܝ ܪܘܪܒܬܐ ܗܘ ܕܚܝܠܬܢ ܘܩܕܝܫ ܫܡܗ | 49 |
For he that is mighty hath done to me great things, and holy [is] his name.
| ܘܚܢܢܗ ܠܕܪܐ ܘܫܪܒܬܐ ܥܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܚܠܝܢ ܠܗ | 50 |
And his mercy [is] on them that fear him, from generation to generation.
| ܥܒܕ ܙܟܘܬܐ ܒܕܪܥܗ ܘܒܕܪ ܚܬܝܪܝ ܒܬܪܥܝܬܐ ܕܠܒܗܘܢ | 51 |
He hath shown strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
| ܤܚܦ ܬܩܝܦܐ ܡܢ ܟܘܪܤܘܬܐ ܘܐܪܝܡ ܡܟܝܟܐ | 52 |
He hath put down the mighty from [their] seats, and exalted them of low degree.
| ܟܦܢܐ ܤܒܥ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܥܬܝܪܐ ܫܪܐ ܤܦܝܩܐܝܬ | 53 |
He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty.
| ܥܕܪ ܠܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܥܒܕܗ ܘܐܬܕܟܪ ܚܢܢܗ | 54 |
He hath sustained his servant Israel, in remembrance of [his] mercy;
| ܐܝܟ ܕܡܠܠ ܥܡ ܐܒܗܝܢ ܥܡ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܥܡ ܙܪܥܗ ܠܥܠܡ (aiōn g165) | 55 |
As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. (aiōn g165)
| ܩܘܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܡܪܝܡ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܐܝܟ ܝܪܚܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܘܗܦܟܬ ܠܒܝܬܗ | 56 |
And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
| ܐܠܝܫܒܥ ܕܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܬܐܠܕ ܘܝܠܕܬ ܒܪܐ | 57 |
Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
| ܘܫܡܥܘ ܫܒܒܝܗ ܘܒܢܝ ܛܘܗܡܗ ܕܐܤܓܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܢܢܗ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܚܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ | 58 |
And her neighbors and her cousins heard that the Lord had shown great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
| ܘܗܘܐ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܬܡܢܝܐ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܡܓܙܪܗ ܠܛܠܝܐ ܘܩܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܒܫܡܐ ܕܐܒܘܗܝ ܙܟܪܝܐ | 59 |
And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
| ܘܥܢܬ ܐܡܗ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܢܬܩܪܐ ܝܘܚܢܢ | 60 |
And his mother answered and said, Not [so]; but he shall be called John.
| ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܕܠܝܬ ܐܢܫ ܒܫܪܒܬܟܝ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܒܫܡܐ ܗܢܐ | 61 |
And they said to her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
| ܘܪܡܙܘ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܨܒܐ ܕܢܫܡܝܘܗܝ | 62 |
And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
| ܘܫܐܠ ܦܢܩܝܬܐ ܘܟܬܒ ܘܐܡܪ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܗܘ ܫܡܗ ܘܐܬܕܡܪܘ ܟܠܢܫ | 63 |
And he asked for a writing-table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all wondered.
| ܘܡܚܕܐ ܐܬܦܬܚ ܦܘܡܗ ܘܠܫܢܗ ܘܡܠܠ ܘܒܪܟ ܠܐܠܗܐ | 64 |
And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue [loosed], and he spoke, and praised God.
| ܘܗܘܬ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܫܒܒܝܗܘܢ ܘܒܟܠܗ ܛܘܪܐ ܕܝܗܘܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܬܡܠܠܢ ܗܘܝ | 65 |
And fear came on all that dwelt around them; and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill-country of Judea.
| ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܢܐ ܟܝ ܢܗܘܐ ܛܠܝܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܐܝܕܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܥܡܗ | 66 |
And all they that had heard [them], laid [them] up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child will this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.
| ܘܐܬܡܠܝ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܐܬܢܒܝ ܘܐܡܪ | 67 |
And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
| ܡܒܪܟ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗ ܕܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܕܤܥܪ ܥܡܗ ܘܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ | 68 |
Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people.
| ܘܐܩܝܡ ܠܢ ܩܪܢܐ ܕܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܥܒܕܗ | 69 |
And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us, in the house of his servant David:
| ܐܝܟ ܕܡܠܠ ܒܦܘܡܐ ܕܢܒܝܘܗܝ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܡܢ ܥܠܡ (aiōn g165) | 70 |
As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, who have been since the world began: (aiōn g165)
| ܕܢܦܪܩܢ ܡܢ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܢ ܘܡܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܤܢܐܝܢ | 71 |
That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
| ܘܥܒܕ ܚܢܢܗ ܥܡ ܐܒܗܝܢ ܘܥܗܕ ܠܕܝܬܩܘܗܝ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ | 72 |
To perform the mercy [promised] to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant:
| ܘܡܘܡܬܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܠܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܒܘܢ ܕܢܬܠ ܠܢ | 73 |
The oath which he swore to our father Abraham,
| ܕܢܬܦܪܩ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܢ ܘܕܠܐ ܕܚܠܐ ܢܦܠܘܚ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ | 74 |
That he would grant to us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear,
| ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܢ ܒܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ | 75 |
In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
| ܘܐܢܬ ܛܠܝܐ ܢܒܝܗ ܕܥܠܝܐ ܬܬܩܪܐ ܬܐܙܠ ܓܝܪ ܩܕܡ ܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܬܛܝܒ ܐܘܪܚܗ | 76 |
And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest, for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
| ܕܢܬܠ ܡܕܥܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܠܥܡܗ ܒܫܘܒܩܢܐ ܕܚܛܗܝܗܘܢ | 77 |
To give knowledge of salvation to his people, by the remission of their sins,
| ܒܪܚܡܐ ܕܚܢܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܢ ܕܒܗܘܢ ܢܤܥܪܢ ܕܢܚܐ ܡܢ ܪܘܡܐ | 78 |
Through the tender mercy of our God; by which the day-spring from on high hath visited us,
| ܠܡܢܗܪܘ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܚܫܘܟܐ ܘܒܛܠܠܐ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܝܬܒܝܢ ܕܢܬܪܘܨ ܪܓܠܝܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܫܠܡܐ | 79 |
To give light to them that sit in darkness and [in] the shades of death, to guide our feet into the way 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 spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing to Israel.
