Lukas 1
1 CEREN anhitzec escu eçarri baitu narratione baten scribatzera complituqui gure artean certificatu içan diraden gaucéz,
Given that many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those things that really did take place among us,
2 Eçagutzera eman draucuten beçala lehen hatsetic ikussi dituztenéc eta hitzaren ministre içan diradenéc.
just as those who became eyewitnesses, from the beginning, and ministers of the Word delivered them to us,
3 Niri-ere on iruditu içan ciaitadac gucia hatsetic finerano diligentqui comprehendituric, hiri punctuz punctu heçaz scribatzera, o Theophile gucizco excellenteá:
it seemed good to me also, most excellent Theophilus, having taken careful note of everything from Above, to write to you with precision and in sequence,
4 Hobequi eçagut deçánçat ikassi dituán gaucén eguiá.
so that you may know the certainty of the things in which you were instructed.
5 HERODES Iudeaco regueren egunetan cen Zacharias deitzen cen Sacrificadorebat, Abiaren araldetic: eta haren emaztea cen Aaronen alabetaric, eta haren icena Elisabeth.
In the days of Herod, the king of Judea, there was a certain priest named Zacharias, of the priestly division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron and her name was Elizabeth.
6 Biac ciraden iusto Iaincoaren aitzinean, Iaunaren, manamendu eta ordenança gucietan reprochuric gabe çabiltzanac.
They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
7 Eta haourric etzutén, ceren Elisabeth steril baitzen, eta biac baitziraden adinez aitzinaratuac.
But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren; and they both were well advanced in years.
8 Guertha cedin bada, harc Iaincoaren aitzinean bere aldian sacrificadoregoa exercitzen çuenean,
Now it happened, as he was officiating as priest before God in the order of his division,
9 Sacrificadoregoaren officioco costumaren araura, çorthea eror baitzequión Iaunaren templean sarthuric encensamenduaren eguiteco.
according to the custom of the priesthood, that his lot was to burn incense, upon entering the sanctuary of the Lord;
10 Eta populu guciac campoan othoitz eguiten çuen encensamendua eguiten cen orduan.
and the whole multitude of the people was praying outside at the hour of incense.
11 Eta aguer cequión Iaunaren Aingueruä, cegoela encensamenduco aldarearen escuinean.
Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense;
12 Eta Zacharias trubla cedin hura ikussiric, eta icidurabat eror cedin haren gainera.
and upon seeing him Zacharias was shaken, and a fear fell upon him.
13 Orduan erran ciecón Aingueruäc, Eztuala beldurric Zacharias: ecen ençun içan duc hire othoitzá, eta Elisabeth eure emaztea erdiren çaic seme batez: eta hari icen emanen draucac Ioannes
But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, because your prayer was heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
14 Eta bozcario eta alegrança vkanen duc, eta anhitz haren sortzearen gainean alegueraturen dituc,
And you will have joy and exultation, and many will rejoice over his birth.
15 Ecen handi içanen duc Iaunaren aitzinean, eta mahatsarnoric ez berce arnoric eztic edanen: eta Spiritu sainduaz betheren datec bere amaren sabeleandanic.
For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; he must not drink either wine or strong drink; indeed, he will be filled with Holy Spirit already from his mother's womb.
16 Eta anhitz Israeleco haourretaric conuertituren dic berén Iainco Iaunagana.
And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God;
17 Eta hura ioanen duc haren aitzinean Eliasen spiriturequin eta verthuterequin, conuerti ditzançat aitén bihotzac semetara eta desobedientac iustoén çuhurtassunera: Iaunari populu vngui instruitubat appain dieçonçat.
in fact he himself will go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of fathers to children’ and the disobedient to the mindset of the righteous, to prepare a people made ready for the Lord.”
18 Orduan erran cieçon Zachariasec Aingueruäri, Nolatán hori eçaguturen dut? ecen ni nauc çahar, eta ene emaztea duc bere egunetan aitzinaratua.
But Zacharias 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.”
19 Eta ihardesten çuela Aingueruäc erran cieçon, Ni nauc Gabriel Iaincoaren aitzinean assistitzen naicena, eta igorri içan nauc hirequin minçatzera, eta berri on hauen hiri declaratzera.
So in answer the angel said to him: “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God; I was sent to speak to you and bring you this good news.
20 Eta horrá, mutu içanen aiz eta ecin minçaturen aiz, gauça hauc eguin ditecen egunerano: ceren ezpaitituc sinhetsi ene hitz bere demborán complituren diradenac.
Now look, you will be silent and not able to speak until the day in which these things happen, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”
21 Eta populua cegoen Zachariasen beguira, eta miresten çuen nola harc hambat berancen çuen templean.
Now the people were waiting for Zacharias and wondering at his delay in the sanctuary.
22 Eta ilki cenean ecin minça cequidien, eta eçagut ceçaten ecen cembeit visione ikussi çuela templean: ecen keinuz aditzera emaiten cerauen, eta mutu guelditu ican cen.
But when he came out he was unable to speak to them, and they understood that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary—he kept gesturing to them while remaining mute.
23 Eta guertha cedin, haren officioco egunac acabatu ciradenean, bere etcherát itzul baitzedin.
And so, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he took off for home.
24 Eta egun hayén ondoan haren emazte Elisabethec concebi ceçan: eta estal cedin borz hilebethez, cioela,
Well after those days his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and stayed in seclusion five months. She kept saying,
25 Segur, hunela eguin vkan draut Iaunac, visitatu nauen egunetan, ene laidoa guiçonén artetic ken leçançat.
“So that's what the Lord has done for me in the days when He concerned Himself to take away my reproach among the people!”
26 Eta seigarren hilebethean igor cedin Gabriel Aingueruä Iaincoaz Galileaco hiri Nazareth deitzen denera:
Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee named Natsareth,
27 Dauid-en etchetico Ioseph deitzen cen guiçon-batequin fedatua cen virgina batgana: eta virginaren icena cen Maria.
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; the virgin's name was Mary.
28 Eta Aingueruäc hura baithara sarthuric, erran ceçan, Salutatzen aut gratia eguin çainaná: Iauna dun hirequin, benedicatua hi emaztén artean.
So upon entering where she was the angel said, “Rejoice, recipient of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”
29 Eta hura, Ainguerua ikussiric trubla cedin haren erranaren gainean, eta pensatzen çuen ceric licén salutatione hura.
But upon seeing him she was perplexed at his word and was trying to figure out what sort of greeting it might be.
30 Orduan diotsa Aingueruäc, Mariá, eztunala beldurric, ecen eriden dun gratia Iaincoa baithan.
The angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, because you have found favor with God.
31 Eta horrá, concebituren dun eure sabelean, eta erdiren aiz seme batez eta deithuren dun haren icena Iesus.
Now then, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS.
32 Hura içanen dun handi, eta eritziren ciayón Subiranoaren Semé: eta emanen diraucan Iainco Iaunac bere aita Dauid-en thronoa.
He will be great, and will be called ‘Son of the Most High’; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David,
33 Eta regnaturen din Iacob-en etchearen gainean eternalqui, eta haren resumaren finic eztun içanen. (aiōn g165)
and He will reign over the house of Jacob into the ages; indeed, of His kingdom there will be no end!” (aiōn g165)
34 Erran ciecón orduan Mariac Aingueruäri, Nola içanen da hori, guiçonic eçagutzen eztudanaz gueroz.
So Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be, since I do not know a man?”
35 Eta ihardesten çuela Aingueruäc erran cieçón, Spiritu saindua hire gainera ethorriren dun eta Subiranoaren verthuteac itzal eguinen draun eta halacotz hitaric sorthuren den saindua, Iaincoaren Seme deithuren dun.
In answer the angel said to her: “Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will hover over you; precisely for this reason the holy One who is to be born will be called ‘Son of God’!
36 Eta hará, Elisabeth hire lehen gussua, harc-ere concebitu din semebat bere çahartzean, eta hil haur din seigarrena steril deitzen cenac.
Furthermore, your relative Elizabeth, she has actually conceived a son in her old age and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren;
37 Ecen eztun deus impossibleric içanen Iaincoa baithan.
because any word spoken by God will be possible.”
38 Eta erran ceçan Mariac, Huná Iaunaren nescatoa: eguin bequit hire hitzaren araura. Eta parti cedin harenganic Aingueruä.
So Mary said: “Yes, I am the Lord's slave! Let it happen to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
39 Eta iaiquiric Maria egun hetan ioan cedin mendietara lehiatuqui Iudaco hiri batetara.
Then Mary quickly got ready and went into the hill country in those days, to a town of Judah,
40 Eta sar cedin Zachariasen etchera, eta saluta ceçan Elisabeth.
and entered the house of Zacharias and saluted Elizabeth.
41 Eta guertha cedin, ençun ceçanean Elisabethec Mariaren salutationea, iauz baitzedin haourra haren sabelean, eta bethe cedin Spiritu sainduaz Elisabeth:
Well it happened that as Elizabeth heard Mary's salutation the babe bounced up and down in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with Holy Spirit.
42 Eta oihuz iar cedin voz handiz, eta erran ceçan, Benedicatua hi emaztén artean, ecen benedicatua dun hire sabeleco fructua.
And she cried out with a great voice and said: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the Fruit of your womb!
43 Eta nondic haur niri, ethor dadin ene Iaunaren ama enegana?
Why am I so favored that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Ecen huná, hire salutationearen voza ene beharrietara heldu içan den beçain sarri, iauci içan dun bozcarioz haourra ene sabelean.
Yes indeed, because as the sound of your salutation came into my ears the babe bounced up and down in my womb for joy.
45 Eta dohatsu aiz sinhetsi baitun, ceren complituren baitirade Iaunaz erran çaizquinan gauçác
Blessed is she who believed, because there will be a fulfillment of the things that have been spoken to her from the Lord.”
46 Eta dio Mariac, Magnificatzen du ene arimác Iauna.
So Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 Eta alegueratu da ene spiritua Iainco ene Saluadorea baithan.
and my spirit has exulted over God my Savior,
48 Ceren behatu vkan baitu bere nescatoaren beheratassunera: ecen huná, hemendic harat dohatsu erranen naute generatione guciéc.
in that He paid attention to the humble station of His slave (f). Yes indeed, because from now on all generations will declare me to be highly favored,
49 Ecen gauça handiac eguin drauzquit botheretsu denac: eta haren icena saindu da:
in that the Mighty One did sublime things for me, and Holy is His name.
50 Eta haren misericordia da generationetaric generationetara haren beldurra dutenetara.
His mercy is for generations of generations to those fearing Him.
51 Botheretsuqui eguin vkan du bere bessoaz: deseguin ditu superboac berén bihotzeco pensamenduan.
He has done mighty deeds with His arm; He has dispersed the arrogant in the reasoning of their hearts.
52 Egotzi ditu botheretsuac thronoetaric, eta goratu ditu chipiac.
He has dethroned rulers and exalted the lowly.
53 Gosse ciradenac bethe ditu onez: eta abratsac igorri ditu hutsic
He has filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty.
54 Sustengatu vkan du Israel bere haourra, bere misericordiáz orhoit içanez.
He has taken the part of His servant Israel, in remembrance of mercy,
just as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed while there is an age.” (aiōn g165)
56 Eta egon cedin Maria harequin hirur hilebetheren inguruä: guero itzul cedin bere etcherát.
So Mary stayed with her about three months, and returned to her house.
57 Eta compli cedin Elisabethen ertzeco demborá: eta erdi cedin seme batez.
Now the time for Elizabeth to give birth was completed and she bore a son.
58 Eta ençun ceçaten haren auçoéc eta ahaidéc, nola frangoqui Iaunac bere misericordia declaratu çuen harengana, eta alegueratzen ciraden harequin.
Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had used His great mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.
59 Eta guertha cedin, çortzigarreneco egunean ethor baitzitecen haourtchoaren circonciditzera, eta deitzen çuten hura bere aitaren icenaz, Zacharias.
So it was, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and they started calling him by the name of his father, Zacharias.
60 Baina ihardesten çuela haren amac erran ceçan, Ez, baina deithuren da Ioannes.
His mother reacted and said, “Absolutely not; he shall be called John!”
61 Eta erran cieçoten, Eztun nehor hire ahaidetan icen horrez deitzen denic.
So they said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”
62 Orduan keinu eguin cieçoten haren aitari, nola nahi luen hura dei ledin.
So they started motioning to his father, as to what he would have him called.
63 Eta harc tableta batzuren escaturic scriba ceçan, cioela, Ioannes da horren icena. Eta mirets ceçaten guciéc.
Asking for a writing tablet he wrote this: “His name is to be John!” They all marveled.
64 Eta irequi cedin bertan haren ahoa, eta haren mihia lacha cedin: eta minço cen laudatzen çuela Iaincoa.
Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue freed and he started to speak, blessing God.
65 Eta icidura ethor cedin aldiri hetaco gucién gainera, eta Iudaco herri mendiçu orotan publica citecen hitz hauc guciac.
(Well a fear came on all who lived around them; and all these sayings kept being talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.
66 Eta ençun cituzten guciéc, eçar citzaten bere bihotzean, erraiten çutela, Nor haourtcho haur içanen da? Eta Iaunaren escua cen harequin.
All who heard kept them in their hearts saying, “What then will this child be?” And the hand of the Lord was with him.)
67 Orduan haren aita Zacharias bethe cedin Spiritu sainduaz: eta prophetiza ceçan, cioela,
Now his father Zacharias was filled with Holy Spirit and prophesied saying:
68 Laudatu dela Israeleco Iainco Iauna, ceren visitatu eta redemitu baitu bere populua.
“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and provided redemption for His people;
69 Eta alchatu baitraucu saluamendutaco adarra Dauid bere cerbitzariaren etchean.
and has raised up a horn of deliverance for us in the house of His servant David
—just as He spoke through the mouth of His holy prophets from antiquity— (aiōn g165)
71 Salbu içanen guinela gure etsayetaric eta guri gaitz çarizcuten gucién escutic.
deliverance from our enemies and out of the hand of all who hate us;
72 Gure aitey misericordia leguiençat, eta orhoit licén bere alliança sainduaz:
to use mercy with our fathers, even to remember His Holy covenant,
73 Eta gure Aita Abrahami eguin ceraucan iuramenduaz:
the oath that He swore to our father Abraham;
74 Ecen emanen ceraucula, beldur gabe gure etsayén escuetaric deliuraturic, hura cerbitza guineçan,
to grant to us (having been rescued from the hand of our enemies) to serve Him without fear,
75 Saindutassunetan eta iustitiatan haren aitzinean, gure vicico egun gucietan.
in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.
76 Eta hi haourtchoá, Subiranoaren Propheta deithuren aiz: ecen ioanen aiz Iaunaren beguitharte aitzinean, haren bideac appain ditzançat,
And you, child, will be called Prophet of the Most High, because you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways,
77 Eta eman dieçoançat saluamenduco eçagutzea haren populuari, hayén bekatuén barkamenduaz.
to give a knowledge of salvation to His people by the forgiveness of their sins,
78 Gure Iaincoaren affectione misericordiosoaz, ceinez visitatu vkan baiquaitu, Orientac garaitic:
through the merciful compassions of our God, with which the divine Dawn has contemplated us,
79 Argui daguiençat ilhumbean eta herioaren itzalean iarriric daudeney, gure oinen baquezco bidera chuchenceagatic.
to give light to those who are sitting in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
80 Eta haourtchoa handitzen eta spirituz fortificatzen cen: eta egon cedin desertuetan Israeli manifestatu behar içan çayón egunerano.
So the child kept growing and being strengthened in spirit, and he stayed in uninhabited areas until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
