Luke 1
1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to arrange a narrative of those things which are fully believed among us,
BECAUSE many have willed to record histories of those transactions of which we are persuaded, according to that which they have delivered to us,
2 even as they were delivered to us by those who were eye-witnesses from the beginning and became ministers of the word,
(they) who from the first were eye-witnesses and ministers of his doctrine;
3 it seemed good to me also, having accurately traced up all things from the first, to write to thee a connected account, most excellent Theophilus,
it appeared also to me, that having been intimately near to them all, I should record every thing in its order for thee, illustrious Theophile,
4 that thou mightst know the exact truth with regard to those things in which thou wast instructed.
that thou mayest know the truth of those doctrines in which thou hast been instructed.
5 There was in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zachariah, of the course of Abijah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
THERE was in the days of Herodes, king of the Jihudoyee, a certain priest whose name was Zakaria, of the service of the house of Abia, and his wife (was) of the daughters of Aharun; her name was Elishaba.
6 And they were both righteous in the sight of God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
And they were both just before Aloha, and walked in all his commandments, and in the righteousness of the Lord, without blame.
7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both far advanced in years.
But they had no son because Elishaba was barren, and both had become many in their days.
8 And it came to pass, that, while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his course,
But it was while he was acting-as-priest in the order of his ministry before Aloha,
9 according to the custom of the priesthood the lot fell to him to go into the temple of the Lord and burn the incense.
according to the custom of the priesthood he came to set on incense, and entered into the temple of the Lord.
10 And the whole multitude of the people was praying without at the time of the incense.
And all the congregation of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right of the altar of incense.
And there appeared to him, to Zakaria, the angel of the Lord, standing on the right hand of the altar of incense.
12 And Zachariah was troubled at the sight, and fear fell upon him.
And Zakaria trembled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
13 But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zachariah; for thy prayer was heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name John.
And the angel said to him, Fear not, Zakaria, for thy prayer is heard, and thy wife Elishaba shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Juchanon.
14 And thou wilt have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice for his birth.
And to thee shall be joy and exultation, and many shall rejoice in his birth:
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; and will drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from his very birth.
for he shall be great before the Lord, and wine and strong liquor shall he not drink, and with the Spirit of Holiness shall he be filled, from the womb of his mother.
16 And many of the sons of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God.
And many of the sons of Isroel shall he convert to the Lord their Aloha.
17 And he will go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a prepared people.
And he shall go before him in the spirit and the power of Elia the prophet, to turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and those who believe not to the knowledge of the righteous, and to prepare for the Lord a perfect people.
18 And Zachariah said to the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is far advanced in years.
And Zakaria said to the angel, How shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife many in her days.
19 And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to thee, and to tell thee these glad tidings.
And the angel answered and said to him, I am Gabriel, I stand before Aloha, and I have been sent to speak with thee and to announce to thee these things.
20 And lo! thou shalt be silent, and not able to speak, until the day when these things shall come to pass, because thou didst not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their season.
From henceforth thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be able to speak, till the day when these things shall be done, because thou hast not believed these words, which shall be fulfilled in their time.
21 And the people were looking for Zachariah, and wondering that he remained so long in the temple.
But the people were standing, and expecting Zakaria. and were wondering at his delay in the temple.
22 And on coming out, he was not able to speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he was beckoning to them, and remained speechless.
But when Zakaria had come forth, he could not speak to them; and he made them understand that he had seen a vision in the temple, and signing he signed to them, and remained dumb.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were completed, that he returned to his house.
And when the days of his service were fulfilled, he came to his house.
24 And after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
And it was after those days Elishaba his wife conceived, and she secluded herself five months.
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me to take away my reproach among men.
And she said, These things hath the Lord done for me in the days of my desolation, to take away my reproach from among the children of men.
26 And in her sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
BUT in the sixth month Gabriel the angel was sent from before Aloha to Galila, to a city whose name (is) Natsrath,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
unto a Virgin espoused to a man whose name was Jauseph, of the house of David, and the name of the Virgin was Mariam.
28 And the angel came in to her and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored! the Lord is with thee.
And the angel entered to her, and said to her, Peace to thee, full of grace! our Lord is with thee, thou blessed among women!
29 And she was troubled at the words, and was considering what this salutation could mean.
But she, when she saw, was troubled at his words, and reasoned what this salutation was.
30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favor with God.
And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mariam, for thou hast found favour with Aloha.
31 And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and hear a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
For, behold, thou shalt conceive, and shalt bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jeshu.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of David his father;
He will be great, and the Son of the Most High shall he be called, and Aloha the Lord shall give unto him the throne of David his father.
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
And he shall reign over the house of Jakub for ever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
34 Then said Mary to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?
And Mariam said to the angel, How shall this be, because a man is not known to me?
35 And the angel answering said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee; wherefore the holy one that is to be born will be called the Son of God.
The angel answered and said to her, The Spirit of Holiness shall come, and the Power of the Most High shall shadow over thee; on account of this He who (shall be) born from thee is the Holy, and the Son of Aloha shall be called.
36 And lo! Elizabeth, thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren.
And behold, Elishaba thy kinswoman, she also beareth a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her, -to her who is called the barren.
37 For nothing will be impossible with God.
For nothing is difficult to Aloha.
38 And Mary said, Lo, the handmaid of the Lord! May it be to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
And Mariam said, Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord, be it unto me as thou hast said. And the angel went from her.
39 And Mary arose and went in those days into the hill-country with haste, into a city of Judah.
AND Mariam arose in those days, and went with haste to the mountain to a city of Jehud;
40 And she entered the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
and she entered into the house of Zakaria, and saluted Elishaba.
41 And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
And it was that when Elishaba heard the salutation of Mariam, the infant leaped in her womb. And she was filled with the Spirit of Holiness;
42 and cried out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women; and blessed is the fruit of thy womb!
and she cried with a loud voice, and said unto Mariam, Blessed art thou among women, And blessed is the fruit of thy womb!
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Whence unto me is this, That the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 For lo! as soon as the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, the babe leaped in my womb in exultation.
For, lo, as fell the voice of thy salutation on my ears, For great Joy leaped the infant in my womb.
45 And blessed is she who hath believed that there will be an accomplishment of those things which were told her from the Lord.
And happy is she who hath believed, For there is a fulfilment of those things which have been spoken to her from the Lord.
46 And Mary said, My soul magnifieth the Lord,
And Mariam said: My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 and my spirit hath exulted in God my Saviour;
And my spirit rejoiceth in Aloha my Saviour,
48 for he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaiden. For lo! from this time all generations will call me blessed;
Who hath looked upon the lowliness of his handmaid: For, behold, from now all generations shall give blessedness to me.
49 for the Mighty One hath done great things for me; and holy is his name;
Because he hath done for me great things, he who is mighty, And holy is his name.
50 and his mercy is from generation to generation on them that fear him.
And his grace is for ages and generations Upon those who fear him.
51 He hath wrought mightily with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the device of their heart.
He hath wrought victory with his arm; He hath scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
52 He hath cast down princes from thrones, and exalted men of low degree.
He hath overturned the mighty from their thrones, And hath exalted the humble.
53 The hungry he hath filled with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty.
The hungry he hath satisfied with good things, And the rich he hath sent away empty.
54 He hath given help to Israel his servant, in remembrance of his mercy

And Mariam stayed with Elishaba three months, and returned to her house.
