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, —
Ker so že mnogi vzeli v roko, da po vrsti uredijo izjavo o teh stvareh, ki se najbolj gotovo verjamejo med nami,
2 according as they who from the beginning became eye-witnesses and attendants of the Word delivered them unto us,
celo kakor so nam jih izročili [tisti], ki so bili od začetka priče in služabniki besede,
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:
se je tudi meni zdelo dobro, od samega začetka imeti popolno razumevanje o vseh stvareh, da tebi, nadvse odlični Teófil, napišem po vrsti,
4 that, as touching the matters which thou hadst been taught by word of mouth, thou mightest obtain full knowledge, of the certainty.
da lahko spoznaš zanesljivost o teh besedah, o katerih si bil poučen.
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.
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 Now they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and righteous appointments 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, inasmuch as Elizabeth was barren, and, both, had become, advanced in their days.
Ker je bila Elizabeta jalova nista imela nobenega otroka in oba sta bila zelo zvrhana v letih.
8 But it came to pass, as he was doing priestly service in the order of his daily course, 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 his priesthood, it fell to his lot to offer incense, entering 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 throng of the people, was praying outside, at the hour of the incense offering.
Celotna množica ljudi pa je ob času zažiganja kadila zunaj molila.
11 And there appeared unto him a messenger of the Lord, standing on the right hand of the altar of incense;
In prikazal se mu je Gospodov angel, stoječ na desni strani kadilnega oltarja.
12 and Zachariah was troubled when he beheld, and, fear, fell upon him.
Ko pa ga je Zaharija zagledal, se je vznemiril in strah ga je spreletel.
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;
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 there shall be joy to thee and exulting, and, many, over his birth, shall rejoice;
Imel boš radost in veselje in mnogi se bodo veselili ob njegovem rojstvu.
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;
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 Sons of Israel, shall he turn towards the Lord their God;
In mnoge izmed Izraelovih otrok bo obrnil h Gospodu, njihovemu Bogu.
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.
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 Zachariah said unto the messenger—Whereby, shall I know this? for, I, am, aged, and, my wife, advanced in her days.
Zaharija je angelu rekel: »Po čem bom to spoznal? Kajti starec sem in moja žena je zelo zvrhana v letih.«
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.
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 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.
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 expecting Zachariah, and began to marvel that he should tarry 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 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.
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 public ministration were fulfilled, that he departed unto his house.
Pripetilo se je, kakor hitro so bili dnevi njegovega služenja dovršeni, da se je odpravil k svoji lastni hiši.
24 And, after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she disguised herself five months, saying—
Po teh dneh je njegova žena Elizabeta spočela in se pet mesecev skrivala, rekoč:
25 Thus, for me, hath the Lord wrought, —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, was the messenger Gabriel sent forth 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 unto a virgin, betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and, the name of the virgin, was, Mary;
k devici, zaročeni z možem, katerega ime je bilo Jožef, iz Davidove hiše; in devici je bilo ime Marija.
28 and entering in unto her, he said—Joy to thee, favoured one! The Lord, be with thee!
Angel je vstopil k njej in rekel: »Pozdravljena, ti, ki si zelo spoštovana, Gospod je s teboj, blagoslovljena si med ženskami.«
29 And, she, at the word, was greatly troubled, and began to deliberate, of what kind, this salutation, might 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 messenger said unto her—Do not fear, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God, —
Angel ji je rekel: »Ne boj se, Marija, kajti pri Bogu si našla naklonjenost.
31 And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name, Jesus:
Glej, v svoji maternici boš spočela in rodila sina in njegovo ime boš klicala JEZUS.
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, —
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, unto the ages, 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 But Mary said unto the messenger—How, shall this thing be, seeing that, a man, I know not?
Potem je Marija rekla angelu: »Kako se bo to zgodilo, glede na to, da ne poznam moškega?«
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.
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 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;
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 Because no declaration from God, shall be void of power.
Kajti z Bogom nič ne bo nemogoče.«
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.
Marija je rekla: »Glej, Gospodova pomočnica; naj se mi zgodi glede na tvojo besedo.« In angel je odšel od nje.
39 And Mary, arising, in these days, journeyed into the hill country with haste, into 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 Elizabeth.
in vstopila v Zaharijevo hišo ter pozdravila Elizabeto.
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, —
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 lifted up her voice with loud exclamation, 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, to me is, this, That the mother of my Lord should come, unto me?
Od kod je meni to, da bi prišla k meni mati mojega Gospoda?
44 For lo! as the sound of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe in my womb, leapt in exultation.
Kajti glej, brž ko je glas tvojega pozdrava zazvenel v mojih ušesih, je dete v moji maternici od radosti poskočilo.
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!
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 upon God my saviour;
in moj duh se veseli v Bogu, mojem Odrešeniku.
48 Because he hath looked upon the humbling of his handmaid; for lo! from the present time, all the generations, will pronounce me happy.
Kajti ozrl se je na nizek stan svoje pomočnice, kajti glej, odslej me bodo vsi rodovi imenovali blagoslovljeno.
49 Because he that is mighty hath done for me great things, 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 unto generations and generations, to them who revere him;
In njegovo usmiljenje je od roda do roda nad tistimi, ki se ga bojijo.
51 He hath wrought strength with his arm, He hath scattered men arrogant in the intention of their heart;
S svojim laktom je pokazal moč, ponosne je razgnal v domišljiji njihovih src.
52 He hath deposed potentates from thrones, and uplifted the lowly;
Mogočne je odstranil z njihovih prestolov in povišal te z nizkim položajem.
53 The hungry, hath he filled with good things, and, the wealthy, hath he sent empty away;
Lačne je napolnil z dobrinami, bogate pa je odpustil prazne.
54 He hath laid hold of Israel his servant, to be mindful of mercies:
Pomagal je svojemu služabniku Izraelu, v spomin na svoje usmiljenje,
55 According as he spake unto our fathers, —To Abraham, and to his seed, —Unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
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 house.
Marija je z njo ostala približno tri mesece in se vrnila v svojo lastno hišo.
57 And, to Elizabeth, was the time fulfilled, that she should be bringing forth, —and she gave birth to a son.
Torej prišel je Elizabetin polni čas, ko naj bi rodila; in rodila je sina.
58 And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard, that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they were rejoicing with 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, that they came to circumcise the child, and were calling it, after the name of its father, Zachariah.
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, answering, said—Nay! but he shall be called, John.
Njegova mati pa je odgovorila in rekla: »Ne tako, temveč se bo imenoval Janez.«
61 And they said unto her—There is, no one from among thy kindred, 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 began making signs unto his father, as to what he might be wishing it to be called.
In naredili so znamenja njegovemu očetu, kako bi ga on imenoval.
63 And, asking for a small tablet, he wrote, saying—John, is his name! and they marvelled all.
In prosil je za pisalno deščico ter napisal, rekoč: »Njegovo ime je Janez.« In vsi so se čudili.
64 And his mouth was opened instantly, and his tongue [loosed], and he began to speak, blessing, God.
In njegova usta so se takoj odprla in njegov jezik se je sprostil in spregovoril je ter hvalil Boga.
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;
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 laid [them] up in their hearts, saying—What then shall his child be? for, even 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, Zachariah his father, was filled with Holy Spirit, 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! Because 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 David his servant:
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 Of salvation from among our foes, and out of the hand of all them that hate us:
da bi bili mi lahko rešeni pred našimi sovražniki in iz roke vseh, ki nas sovražijo,
72 To perform mercy with our fathers, and to be mindful of his holy covenant, —
da opravi usmiljenje, obljubljeno našim očetom in se spomni svoje svete zaveze,
73 The oath which he sware unto Abraham our father, To grant us,
prisege, s katero je prisegel našemu očetu Abrahamu,
74 without fear, from the hand of enemies rescued, to be rendering divine service unto him,
da nam bo zagotovil, da mu bomo osvobojeni iz roke svojih sovražnikov, lahko služili brez strahu,
75 in lovingkindness and righteousness before him, all our days.
v svetosti in pravičnosti pred njim, vse dni našega življenja.
76 And, even thou, child, prophet of the Most High, shalt be called, —for thou shall march on before the Lord, to prepare his ways,
Ti pa, otrok, boš imenovan prerok Najvišjega, kajti šel boš pred Gospodov obraz, da pripraviš njegove poti,
77 Giving a knowledge of salvation unto his people, by a remission of their sins.
da daš njegovim ljudem spoznanje o rešitvi duš z odpuščanjem njihovih grehov,
78 Because of the yearning compassion of the mercy of our God, wherein shall visit us a day-dawn from on high, —
po nežnem usmiljenju našega Boga; po katerem nas je obiskalo svitanje od zgoraj,
79 To shine on them who, in the darkness and shade of death, are sitting, to guide our feet into a 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, went on growing, and being strengthened in spirit, and was in the deserts, until the day he was pointed out unto Israel.
Otrok pa je rasel in se krepil v duhu in bil je v puščavah do dneva njegove pojavitve Izraelu.
