Luke 1
1 Seeing, indeed, that, many, had taken in hand to re-arrange for themselves a narrative, concerning the facts which have been fully confirmed amongst us, —
Inasmuch as many undertook to draw up a narration concerning the accomplished among us things,
2 according as they who from the beginning became eye-witnesses and attendants of the Word delivered them unto us,
even as delivered [them] to us those from [the] beginning eyewitnesses and servants having been of the word,
3 it seemed good, even to me, having closely traced from the outset all things accurately, to write unto thee, in order, most excellent Theophilus:
it seemed good also to me also to me having been acquainted from the first with all things carefully with method to you to write, most excellent Theophilus,
4 that, as touching the matters which thou hadst been taught by word of mouth, thou mightest obtain full knowledge, of the certainty.
so that you may know concerning which you were instructed [of the] things the certainty.
5 It came to pass, in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, that there was a certain priest, by name Zachariah, of the daily course of Abia; and that he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and, her name, was Elizabeth.
There was in the days of Herod king of Judea a priest certain named Zechariah of [the] division of Abijah, and (the *k) wife (of him *N+kO) of the daughters of Aaron and the name of her Elizabeth.
6 Now they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and righteous appointments of the Lord, blameless;
They were now righteous both (in front of *N+kO) God walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7 and they had no child, inasmuch as Elizabeth was barren, and, both, had become, advanced in their days.
And no there was to them child, inasmuch as was Elizabeth barren and both having advanced in the years of them were.
8 But it came to pass, as he was doing priestly service in the order of his daily course, before God,
It came to pass now in the priestly serving of him in the order of the division of him before God,
9 according to the custom of his priesthood, it fell to his lot to offer incense, entering into the Temple of the Lord;
according to the custom of the priesthood the lot picked [him as] the [one] to burn incense entering into the temple of the Lord;
10 and, all the throng of the people, was praying outside, at the hour of the incense offering.
And all the multitude were of the people praying outside at the hour of the incense.
11 And there appeared unto him a messenger of the Lord, standing on the right hand of the altar of incense;
Appeared then to him an angel of [the] Lord already standing at [the] right of the altar of the incense;
12 and Zachariah was troubled when he beheld, and, fear, fell upon him.
And was troubled Zechariah having seen [him], and fear fell upon him.
13 But the messenger said unto him—Do not fear, Zachariah! Inasmuch as thy supplication hath been hearkened to, —and, thy wife Elizabeth, shall bring forth a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name, John;
Said then to him the angel; Not do fear Zechariah; because has been heard the prayer of you, and the wife of You Elizabeth will bear a son to you, and you will call the name of him John.
14 And there shall be joy to thee and exulting, and, many, over his birth, shall rejoice;
And he will be joy to you and gladness, and many at the (birth *N+kO) of him will rejoice.
15 For he shall be great before the Lord, and, wine and strong drink, in nowise may he drink, and, with Holy Spirit, shall he be filled, already, from his mother’s womb;
He will be for great before the Lord, and wine and strong drink certainly not shall he drink, and [of the] Spirit Holy he will be filled even from [the] womb of [the] mother of him.
16 And, many of the Sons of Israel, shall he turn towards the Lord their God;
And many of the sons of Israel he will turn to [the] Lord the God of them,
17 And, he, shall go before him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, —To turn the hearts of fathers unto children, and the unyielding, into the prudence of the righteous, and to prepare, for the Lord, a people made ready.
And he himself will go forth 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] righteous, to make ready for [the] Lord a people prepared.
18 And Zachariah said unto the messenger—Whereby, shall I know this? for, I, am, aged, and, my wife, advanced in her days.
And said Zechariah to the angel; By what will I know this? I myself for am an old man, and the wife of mine having advanced in the years of her.
19 And the messenger, answering, said unto him—I, am Gabriel, —he that standeth near before God; and have been sent forth to speak unto thee, and to deliver the joyful message unto thee, as touching these things.
And answering the angel said to him; I myself am Gabriel the [one] standing before God and I was sent to speak to you and to bring glad tidings to you these.
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 in my words, —the which shall be fulfilled for their season.
And behold you will be silent and not able to speak until that day may happen these things, in return for that not you did believe in the words of mine which will be fulfilled in the season of them.
21 And the people were expecting Zachariah, and began to marvel that he should tarry in the Temple;
And were the people expecting Zechariah and they were wondering at the delaying in the temple of him.
22 and when he came forth he was not able to speak unto them, and they perceived that, a vision, he had seen in the Temple, —and, he, continued making signs unto them, and remained dumb.
Having come out then not he was able to speak to them; and they recognized that a vision he has seen in the temple. And he himself was making signs to them and was remaining mute.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his public ministration were fulfilled, that he departed unto his house.
And it came to pass when were fulfilled the days of the service of him, he departed to the home of him.
24 And, after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she disguised herself five months, saying—
After then these days conceived Elizabeth the wife of him and was hiding herself months five saying
25 Thus, for me, hath the Lord wrought, —in the days in which he looked upon me, to take away my reproach among men.
that Thus to me has done (the *k) Lord in [the] days in which He looked upon [me] to take away (the *k) disgrace of mine among men.
26 Now, in the sixth month, was the messenger Gabriel sent forth from God, into a city of Galilee, the name of which was Nazareth, —
In now the month sixth was sent the angel Gabriel (by *N+kO) God to a city of Galilee whose name [was] Nazareth
27 unto a virgin, betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and, the name of the virgin, was, Mary;
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name [was] Joseph of [the] house of David, and the name of the virgin [was] Mary.
28 and entering in unto her, he said—Joy to thee, favoured one! The Lord, be with thee!
And having come (angel *KO) to her he said; Greetings! you graciously favored; The Lord [is] with you. (blessed [are] you yourself among women. *KO)
29 And, she, at the word, was greatly troubled, and began to deliberate, of what kind, this salutation, might be.
And (having seen [him] *K) at the statement she was troubled (of him *k) and was pondering what kind would be salutation this.
30 And the messenger said unto her—Do not fear, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God, —
And said the angel to her; Not do fear Mary, you have found for favor with God.
31 And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name, Jesus:
and behold you will conceive in womb and will bring forth a son and you will call the name of Him Jesus.
32 the same, shall be great, and, Son of the Most High, shall be called, and the Lord God, will give unto him, the throne of David his father, —
He will be great and Son of [the] Most High He will be called, and will give to Him [the] Lord God the throne of David of the father of Him,
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob, unto the ages, and, of his kingdom, there shall be, no end. (aiōn g165)
and He will reign over the house of Jacob to the ages, and of the kingdom of Him not there will be an end! (aiōn g165)
34 But Mary said unto the messenger—How, shall this thing be, seeing that, a man, I know not?
Said then Mary to the angel; How will be this since a man not I know?
35 And answering, the messenger said unto her—The Holy Spirit, shall come upon thee, and, the power of the Most High, shall overshadow thee; wherefore, even that which is to be born, Holy, shall be called, Son of God.
And answering the angel said to her; [the] Spirit Holy will come upon you and power of [the] Most High will overshadow you; therefore also the [one] being born Holy [One] will be called [the] Son of God.
36 And lo! Elizabeth thy kinswoman, even she, hath conceived a son in, her old-age; —and, this month, is, the sixth, to her, the so-called barren one;
And behold Elizabeth the (relative *N+kO) of you also she (has conceived *N+kO) a son in old age of her, and this month [the] sixth is to her who [was] called barren
37 Because no declaration from God, shall be void of power.
For not will be impossible with (God *N+kO) every declaration.
38 And Mary said—Lo! the handmaid of the Lord! Might it come to pass unto me, according to thy declaration. And the messenger departed from her.
Said then Mary; Behold the handmaid of [the] Lord; Would [that] it happen to me according to the declaration of you. And departed from her the angel.
39 And Mary, arising, in these days, journeyed into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah, —
Having risen up then Mary in days these she went into the hill country with haste to a town of Judah
40 and entered into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
and she entered into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
41 And it came to pass that, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leapt in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with Holy Spirit, —
And it came to pass as heard the greeting of Mary Elizabeth, leaped the baby in the womb of her, and was filled with [the] Spirit Holy Elizabeth
42 and lifted up her voice with loud exclamation, and said—Blessed, art thou among women, and, blessed, is the fruit of thy womb;
and she cried out (in a shout *N+kO) loud and said; Blessed [are] you yourself among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of the womb of you.
43 And, whence, to me is, this, That the mother of my Lord should come, unto me?
And from where to me this that may come the mother of the Lord of mine to me myself?
44 For lo! as the sound of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe in my womb, leapt in exultation.
Behold for as came the voice of the greeting of you into the ears of mine, leaped in exultation the baby in the womb of mine.
45 And, happy, is she who hath believed, that there shall be a perfecting of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!
And blessed [is] the [one] having believed that there will be a fulfillment to the [things] spoken to her from [the] Lord.
46 And Mary said—My soul doth magnify the Lord,
And said Mary: Magnifies the soul of Mine the Lord,
47 And my spirit hath exulted upon God my saviour;
and rejoices the spirit of mine in God the Savior of mine,
48 Because he hath looked upon the humbling of his handmaid; for lo! from the present time, all the generations, will pronounce me happy.
For He has looked upon the humiliation of the handmaiden of Him. Behold for from henceforth will count blessed me all the generations
49 Because he that is mighty hath done for me great things, and, holy, is his name;
For has done to me (great [things] *N+kO) the Mighty One; And holy [is] the name of Him;
50 And his mercy is unto generations and generations, to them who revere him;
And the mercy of Him [is] to generations (and *no) (generations *N+kO) to those fearing Him;
51 He hath wrought strength with his arm, He hath scattered men arrogant in the intention of their heart;
He has shown strength with [the] arm of Him; He has scattered [the] proud in [the] thought of heart of them;
52 He hath deposed potentates from thrones, and uplifted the lowly;
He has brought down rulers from thrones and exalted [the] humble;
53 The hungry, hath he filled with good things, and, the wealthy, hath he sent empty away;
[Those] hungering He has filled with good things and [those] being rich He has sent away empty;
54 He hath laid hold of Israel his servant, to be mindful of mercies:
He has helped Israel [the] servant of Him remembering mercy,
55 According as he spake unto our fathers, —To Abraham, and to his seed, —Unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
even as He spoke to the fathers of us, to Abraham and to the descendants of him to the age. (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her house.
Dwelt then Mary with her (about *N+kO) months three and returned to the home of her.
57 And, to Elizabeth, was the time fulfilled, that she should be bringing forth, —and she gave birth to a son.
Now Elizabeth was fulfilled the time to give birth for her and she bore a son.

59 And it came to pass, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and were calling it, after the name of its father, Zachariah.
And it came to pass on day the eighth they came to circumcise the child and were calling it after the name of the father of him Zechariah.
60 And his mother, answering, said—Nay! but he shall be called, John.
And answering the mother of him said; No, but he will be called John.
61 And they said unto her—There is, no one from among thy kindred, who is called by this name!
And they said to her that No [one] is (among the relatives *N+kO) of you who is called the name by this.
62 And they began making signs unto his father, as to what he might be wishing it to be called.
They were making signs then to the father of him the what maybe he would wish to be called (him. *N+kO)
63 And, asking for a small tablet, he wrote, saying—John, is his name! and they marvelled all.
And having asked for a writing tablet he wrote saying; John is (the *ko) name of him. And they marveled all.
64 And his mouth was opened instantly, and his tongue [loosed], and he began to speak, blessing, God.
Was opened then the mouth of him immediately and the tongue of him and he was speaking blessing God.
65 And fear came upon all the neighbours themselves; and, throughout all the hill-country of Judaea, were all these matters being much talked of;
And came upon all fear those dwelling around them; and in all the hill country of Judea were being talked about all declarations these,
66 and all who heard laid [them] up in their hearts, saying—What then shall his child be? for, even the hand of the Lord, was with him.
And laid [them] up all those having heard in the heart of them saying; What then child this will be? And (for *no) [the] hand of [the] Lord was with him.
