Luke 1
1 SINCE many have attempted to compose a narrative of facts, confirmed to us by the fullest evidence:
Ker so že mnogi vzeli v roko, da po vrsti uredijo izjavo o teh stvareh, ki se najbolj gotovo verjamejo med nami,
2 exactly as they delivered them to us, who were eve witnesses from the first, and ministers of the word;
celo kakor so nam jih izročili [tisti], ki so bili od začetka priče in služabniki besede,
3 it seemed right to me also, having obtained accurate knowledge of all things from above, to write to thee in regular order, most excellent Theophilus,
se je tudi meni zdelo dobro, od samega začetka imeti popolno razumevanje o vseh stvareh, da tebi, nadvse odlični Teófil, napišem po vrsti,
4 to the intent that thou mayest clearly know the certainty of those matters, concerning which thou hast been instructed.
da lahko spoznaš zanesljivost o teh besedah, o katerih si bil poučen.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abiah: and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elisabeth.
V dneh Heroda, judejskega kralja, je bil nek duhovnik, imenovan Zaharija, iz Abíjeve skupine, in njegova žena je bila izmed Aronovih hčera in njeno ime je bilo Elizabeta.
6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Oba sta bila pravična pred Bogom in sta brez krivde živela po vseh Gospodovih zapovedih in odredbah.
7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were far advanced in years.
Ker je bila Elizabeta jalova nista imela nobenega otroka in oba sta bila zelo zvrhana v letih.
8 And it came to pass, as he discharged his priestly office in the order of his periodical ministration before God,
In pripetilo se je, medtem ko je pred Bogom opravljal duhovniško službo, po vrstnem redu svoje skupine,
9 according to the custom of the priesthood, it fell to his lot to burn the incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
glede na navado duhovniške službe, je bil na njem žreb, da zažge kadilo, ko je odšel v Gospodov tempelj.
10 And all the multitude of people was praying without, at the time of the burning the incense.
Celotna množica ljudi pa je ob času zažiganja kadila zunaj molila.
11 And an angel of the Lord appeared to him standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
In prikazal se mu je Gospodov angel, stoječ na desni strani kadilnega oltarja.
12 And Zacharias was agitated greatly at the sight, and fear fell upon him.
Ko pa ga je Zaharija zagledal, se je vznemiril in strah ga je spreletel.
13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bring thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
Toda angel mu je rekel: »Ne boj se, Zaharija, kajti tvoja molitev je uslišana in tvoja žena Elizabeta ti bo rodila sina in ti boš klical njegovo ime Janez.
14 And it shall give thee joy and exultation; and many shall rejoice at his birth:
Imel boš radost in veselje in mnogi se bodo veselili ob njegovem rojstvu.
15 for he shall be great in the sight of the Lord; and he shall never drink wine, nor any intoxicating liquor; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.
Kajti velik bo v Gospodovih očeh in ne bo pil niti vina niti močne pijače in celó od maternice svoje matere bo izpolnjen s Svetim Duhom.
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn unto the Lord, their God.
In mnoge izmed Izraelovih otrok bo obrnil h Gospodu, njihovemu Bogu.
17 And he shall go forth before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to convert the hearts of fathers with their children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to prepare a people ready for the Lord.
Pred njim bo šel z Elijevim duhom in močjo, da obrne srca očetov k otrokom in neposlušne k modrosti pravičnih; da pripravi ljudstvo, pripravljeno za Gospoda.«
18 And Zacharias said to the angel, By what shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife far advanced in her age.
Zaharija je angelu rekel: »Po čem bom to spoznal? Kajti starec sem in moja žena je zelo zvrhana v letih.«
19 And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and I have been sent to speak to thee, and to proclaim these glad tidings to thee.
Angel mu odgovori in reče: »Jaz sem Gabriel, ki stojim v prisotnosti Boga in poslan sem, da ti govorim in da ti pokažem te vesele novice.
20 And behold, thou shalt be dumb, and unable to speak, until that day when these things shall come to pass, because thou hast not believed my words, which shall be fulfilled at their exact time.
Glej, ker nisi verjel mojim besedam, ki se bodo uresničile ob njihovem pravem času, boš postal nem in ne boš mogel govoriti do dne, ko se bodo te besede izpolnile.«
21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
In ljudje so čakali na Zaharija in se čudili, da se je tako dolgo mudil v templju.
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 himself made signs to them, and continued deaf and dumb.
Ko pa je prišel ven, jim ni mogel spregovoriti, in zaznali so, da je videl v templju videnje, kajti dajal jim je znamenja, ostal pa je brez besed.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his ministry were fulfilled, he went to his own house.
Pripetilo se je, kakor hitro so bili dnevi njegovega služenja dovršeni, da se je odpravil k svoji lastni hiši.
24 And after those days Elisabeth his wife conceived, and kept herself in retirement five months, saying,
Po teh dneh je njegova žena Elizabeta spočela in se pet mesecev skrivala, rekoč:
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days in which he looked upon me to take away my reproach among men.
»Tako je Gospod ravnal z menoj v dneh, v katerih je pogledal name, da odvzame mojo grajo izmed ljudi.«
26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, the name of which was Nazareth,
V šestem mesecu pa je bil od Boga poslan angel Gabriel v galilejsko mesto, imenovano Nazaret,
27 to a virgin of the house of David, betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
k devici, zaročeni z možem, katerega ime je bilo Jožef, iz Davidove hiše; in devici je bilo ime Marija.
28 And the angel coming in to her said, All hail! O thou highly favoured one! the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Angel je vstopil k njej in rekel: »Pozdravljena, ti, ki si zelo spoštovana, Gospod je s teboj, blagoslovljena si med ženskami.«
29 And when she saw him, she was greatly agitated at his address: and reasoned in herself what kind of salutation this could be.
Ko pa ga je zagledala, je bila ob njegovem govoru zaskrbljena in v svojih mislih preudarjala, kakšne vrste pozdrav naj bi to bil.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God.
Angel ji je rekel: »Ne boj se, Marija, kajti pri Bogu si našla naklonjenost.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS.
Glej, v svoji maternici boš spočela in rodila sina in njegovo ime boš klicala JEZUS.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father;
Velik bo in imenovan bo Sin Najvišjega; in Gospod Bog mu bo dal prestol njegovega očeta Davida
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
in nad Jakobovo hišo bo vladal večno in njegovemu kraljestvu ne bo konca.« (aiōn g165)
34 And Mary said, How shall this be, seeing I know not man?
Potem je Marija rekla angelu: »Kako se bo to zgodilo, glede na to, da ne poznam moškega?«
35 And the angel answering said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee; wherefore also the Holy One that shall be born of thee, shall be called the Son of God.
Angel je odgovoril in ji rekel: »Sveti Duh bo prišel nadte in moč Najvišjega te bo obsenčila, zato bo tudi ta sveta oseba, ki bo rojena od tebe, imenovana Božji Sin.
36 And, behold, Elisabeth thy cousin, she also hath conceived in her old age: and this is the fifth month of pregnancy with her who was called barren.
Glej, tvoja sestrična Elizabeta je prav tako v svoji visoki starosti spočela sina, in to je šesti mesec z njo, ki je bila imenovana jalova.
37 For there is nothing impossible with God.
Kajti z Bogom nič ne bo nemogoče.«
38 Then said Mary, Behold a servant of the Lord, be it to me according to thy declaration. And the angel departed from her.
Marija je rekla: »Glej, Gospodova pomočnica; naj se mi zgodi glede na tvojo besedo.« In angel je odšel od nje.
39 Then Mary arose in those days, and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah,
Marija je v tistih dneh vstala in z naglico odšla v hribovito deželo, v Judovo mesto
40 and entered into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elisabeth.
in vstopila v Zaharijevo hišo ter pozdravila Elizabeto.
41 And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped for joy in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
In pripetilo se je, ko je Elizabeta zaslišala Marijin pozdrav, da je dete poskočilo v njeni maternici in Elizabeta je bila izpolnjena s Svetim Duhom
42 and she exclaimed with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
in zaklicala z močnim glasom ter rekla: »Blagoslovljena si ti med ženskami in blagoslovljen je sad tvoje maternice.
43 And whence is this favour shewn me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Od kod je meni to, da bi prišla k meni mati mojega Gospoda?
44 For, lo! as the voice of thy salutation reached my ears, the babe leaped for joy in my womb.
Kajti glej, brž ko je glas tvojega pozdrava zazvenel v mojih ušesih, je dete v moji maternici od radosti poskočilo.
45 And blessed is she that hath believed; for there shall be a fulfilment of the things told her from the Lord.
Blagoslovljena je tista, ki je verovala, kajti izpolnile se bodo te besede, ki so ji bile povedane od Gospoda.«
46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
Marija je rekla: »Moja duša poveličuje Gospoda
47 and my spirit hath exulted in God my Saviour:
in moj duh se veseli v Bogu, mojem Odrešeniku.
48 for he hath looked upon the lowly state of his maid-servant: for, lo! henceforth shall all generations pronounce me blessed.
Kajti ozrl se je na nizek stan svoje pomočnice, kajti glej, odslej me bodo vsi rodovi imenovali blagoslovljeno.
49 For the Mighty One hath done great things for me; and holy is his name.
Kajti tisti, ki je mogočen, mi je storil velike stvari in sveto je njegovo ime.
50 And his mercy is upon those who fear him, from generation to generation.
In njegovo usmiljenje je od roda do roda nad tistimi, ki se ga bojijo.
51 He hath displayed strength from his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
S svojim laktom je pokazal moč, ponosne je razgnal v domišljiji njihovih src.
52 He hath cast down potentates from the throne, and hath exalted the lowly.
Mogočne je odstranil z njihovih prestolov in povišal te z nizkim položajem.
53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
Lačne je napolnil z dobrinami, bogate pa je odpustil prazne.
Pomagal je svojemu služabniku Izraelu, v spomin na svoje usmiljenje,
55 as he had spoken to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed.
kakor je govoril našim očetom, Abrahamu in njegovemu semenu na veke.« (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her home.
Marija je z njo ostala približno tri mesece in se vrnila v svojo lastno hišo.
57 Now Elisabeth’s time was up that she should be delivered; and she brought a son.
Torej prišel je Elizabetin polni čas, ko naj bi rodila; in rodila je sina.
58 And her neighbours and her relations heard, that the Lord had magnified his mercy upon her; and they congratulated her.
Njeni sosedje in njeni sorodniki so slišali, kako je Gospod nad njo izkazal veliko usmiljenje in veselili so se z njo.
59 And it came to pass, on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him after the name of his father, Zacharias.
Pripetilo pa se je, da so na osmi dan prišli, da obrežejo otroka in poimenovali so ga Zaharija, po imenu njegovega očeta.
60 And his mother spake and said, No; but he shall be called John.
Njegova mati pa je odgovorila in rekla: »Ne tako, temveč se bo imenoval Janez.«
61 And they said to her, There is not one among thy relations, who is called by this name.
Oni pa so ji rekli: »Nikogar v tvojem sorodstvu ni, ki je poimenovan s tem imenom.«
62 And they made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
In naredili so znamenja njegovemu očetu, kako bi ga on imenoval.
63 And desiring a writing tablet, he wrote, saying, John is his name. And they were all surprised.
In prosil je za pisalno deščico ter napisal, rekoč: »Njegovo ime je Janez.« In vsi so se čudili.
64 Instantly then his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosed, and he burst out in praises to God.
In njegova usta so se takoj odprla in njegov jezik se je sprostil in spregovoril je ter hvalil Boga.
65 And great awe fell on all those who dwelt around them: and in all the mountainous country of Judea, all these circumstances were the subject of conversation.
In strah je prišel na vse, ki so prebivali naokoli njih; in vse te besede so se razglasile naokoli po vsej judejski hriboviti deželi.
66 And all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, Well! what a child will this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.
In vsi, ki so jih slišali, so si jih položili v svoja srca, rekoč: »Kakšne vrste otrok bo to!« In Gospodova roka je bila z njim.
67 And Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
In njegov oče Zaharija je bil izpolnjen s Svetim Duhom in prerokoval, rekoč:
68 Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel; for he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people;
»Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, Izraelov Bog; kajti obiskal je in odkupil svoje ljudi
69 and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David:
in za nas je dvignil rog rešitve duš v hiši svojega služabnika Davida,
kakor je govoril po ustih svojih svetih prerokov, ki so bili, odkar je svet nastal, (aiōn g165)
71 even preservation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
da bi bili mi lahko rešeni pred našimi sovražniki in iz roke vseh, ki nas sovražijo,
72 to perform mercy towards our fathers, and to remember his own holy covenant:
da opravi usmiljenje, obljubljeno našim očetom in se spomni svoje svete zaveze,
73 the oath which he sware to Abraham our father,
prisege, s katero je prisegel našemu očetu Abrahamu,
74 to give us, that we, secure from fear, rescued from the hands of our enemies, should serve him,
da nam bo zagotovil, da mu bomo osvobojeni iz roke svojih sovražnikov, lahko služili brez strahu,
75 in righteousness and holiness before him, all the days of our life.
v svetosti in pravičnosti pred njim, vse dni našega življenja.
76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Most High; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
Ti pa, otrok, boš imenovan prerok Najvišjega, kajti šel boš pred Gospodov obraz, da pripraviš njegove poti,
77 to give the knowledge of salvation to his people, by the remission of their sins,
da daš njegovim ljudem spoznanje o rešitvi duš z odpuščanjem njihovih grehov,
78 through the bowels of mercy of our God; with which he hath visited us, as the dawn of the morning from on high,
po nežnem usmiljenju našega Boga; po katerem nas je obiskalo svitanje od zgoraj,
79 to illumine those who sat in darkness, and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet into the way of peace.
da da svetlobo tem, ki sedijo v temi in v smrtni senci, da vodi naša stopala na pot miru.«
80 And the child grew, and became mighty in spirit, and was in the deserts until the days of his public exhibition to Israel.
Otrok pa je rasel in se krepil v duhu in bil je v puščavah do dneva njegove pojavitve Izraelu.
