Luke 1
1 Many have undertaken to compose an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,
prathamato ye saak. si. no vaakyapracaarakaa"scaasan te. asmaaka. m madhye yadyat sapramaa. na. m vaakyamarpayanti sma
2 just as they were handed down to us by the initial eyewitnesses and servants of the word.

3 Therefore, having carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,
ataeva he mahaamahimathiyaphil tva. m yaa yaa. h kathaa a"sik. syathaastaasaa. m d. r.dhapramaa. naani yathaa praapno. si
4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.

5 In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah, and whose wife Elizabeth was a daughter of Aaron.
yihuudaade"siiyaherodnaamake raajatva. m kurvvati abiiyayaajakasya paryyaayaadhikaarii sikhariyanaamaka eko yaajako haaro. nava. m"sodbhavaa ilii"sevaakhyaa
6 Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and decrees of the Lord.
tasya jaayaa dvaavimau nirdo. sau prabho. h sarvvaaj naa vyavasthaa"sca sa. mmanya ii"svarad. r.s. tau dhaarmmikaavaastaam|
7 But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well along in years.

8 One day while Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,
yadaa svaparyyaanukrame. na sikhariya ii"svaasya samak. sa. m yaajakiiya. m karmma karoti
9 he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
tadaa yaj nasya dinaparipaayyaa parame"svarasya mandire prave"sakaale dhuupajvaalana. m karmma tasya kara. niiyamaasiit|
10 And at the hour of the incense offering, the whole congregation was praying outside.

11 Just then an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.

12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and gripped with fear.
ta. m d. r.s. tvaa sikhariya udvivije "sa"sa"nke ca|
13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John.
tadaa sa duutasta. m babhaa. se he sikhariya maa bhaistava praarthanaa graahyaa jaataa tava bhaaryyaa ilii"sevaa putra. m praso. syate tasya naama yohan iti kari. syasi|
14 He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice at his birth,
ki nca tva. m saananda. h sahar. sa"sca bhavi. syasi tasya janmani bahava aanandi. syanti ca|
15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He shall never take wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb.

16 Many of the sons of Israel he will turn back to the Lord their God.

17 And he will go on before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

18 “How can I be sure of this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “I am an old man, and my wife is well along in years.”
tadaa sikhariyo duutamavaadiit kathametad vetsyaami? yatoha. m v. rddho mama bhaaryyaa ca v. rddhaa|
19 “I am Gabriel,” replied the angel. “I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.

20 And now you will be silent and unable to speak until the day this comes to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at their proper time.”

21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he took so long in the temple.
tadaanii. m ye ye lokaa. h sikhariyamapaik. santa te madhyemandira. m tasya bahuvilambaad aa"scaryya. m menire|
22 When he came out and was unable to speak to them, they realized he had seen a vision in the temple. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless.

23 And when the days of his service were complete, he returned home.

24 After these days, his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. She declared,
katipayadine. su gate. su tasya bhaaryyaa ilii"sevaa garbbhavatii babhuuva
25 “The Lord has done this for me. In these days He has shown me favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.”

26 In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,

27 to a virgin pledged in marriage to a man named Joseph, who was of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary.

28 The angel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”

29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
tadaanii. m saa ta. m d. r.s. tvaa tasya vaakyata udvijya kiid. r"sa. m bhaa. sa. namidam iti manasaa cintayaamaasa|
30 So the angel told her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

31 Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus.

32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David,

34 “How can this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
tadaa mariyam ta. m duuta. m babhaa. se naaha. m puru. sasa"nga. m karomi tarhi kathametat sambhavi. syati?
35 The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God.

36 Look, even Elizabeth your relative has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called barren is in her sixth month.

37 For no word from God will ever fail.”

38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it happen to me according to your word.” Then the angel left her.
tadaa mariyam jagaada, pa"sya prabheraha. m daasii mahya. m tava vaakyaanusaare. na sarvvametad gha. tataam; ananatara. m duutastasyaa. h samiipaat pratasthe|
39 In those days Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judah,

40 where she entered the home of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.

41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

42 In a loud voice she exclaimed, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
proccairgaditumaarebhe, yo. sitaa. m madhye tvameva dhanyaa, tava garbbhastha. h "si"su"sca dhanya. h|
43 And why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
tva. m prabhormaataa, mama nive"sane tvayaa cara. naavarpitau, mamaadya saubhaagyametat|
44 For as soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.

45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord’s word to her will be fulfilled.”

46 Then Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,
tadaanii. m mariyam jagaada| dhanyavaada. m pare"sasya karoti maamaka. m mana. h|
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!
mamaatmaa taarake"se ca samullaasa. m pragacchati|
48 For He has looked with favor on the humble state of His servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed.

49 For the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is His name.

50 His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation.

51 He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in the thoughts of their hearts.

52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones, but has exalted the humble.

53 He has filled the hungry with good things, but has sent the rich away empty.

54 He has helped His servant Israel, remembering to be merciful,

56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.

57 When the time came for Elizabeth to have her child, she gave birth to a son.
tadanantaram ilii"sevaayaa. h prasavakaala upasthite sati saa putra. m praaso. s.ta|
58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they rejoiced with her.

59 On the eighth day, when they came to circumcise the child, they were going to name him after his father Zechariah.

60 But his mother replied, “No! He shall be called John.”

61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who bears this name.”

62 So they made signs to his father to find out what he wanted to name the child.
tata. h para. m tasya pitara. m sikhariya. m prati sa"nketya papracchu. h "si"so. h ki. m naama kaari. syate?
63 Zechariah asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.

64 Immediately Zechariah’s mouth was opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak, praising God.

65 All their neighbors were filled with awe, and people throughout the hill country of Judea were talking about these events.

66 And all who heard this wondered in their hearts and asked, “What then will this child become?” For the Lord’s hand was with him.

67 Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
