Luke 1
1 Since many have undertaken to compile an account of the events that have been fulfilled among us,
prathamatō yē sākṣiṇō vākyapracārakāścāsan tē'smākaṁ madhyē yadyat sapramāṇaṁ vākyamarpayanti sma
2 just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us,
tadanusāratō'nyēpi bahavastadvr̥ttāntaṁ racayituṁ pravr̥ttāḥ|
3 it seemed good to me also, having carefully investigated all things from the beginning, to write an orderly account for yoʋ, most excellent Theophilus,
ataēva hē mahāmahimathiyaphil tvaṁ yā yāḥ kathā aśikṣyathāstāsāṁ dr̥ḍhapramāṇāni yathā prāpnōṣi
4 so that yoʋ may know the certainty of the things about which yoʋ have been instructed.
tadarthaṁ prathamamārabhya tāni sarvvāṇi jñātvāhamapi anukramāt sarvvavr̥ttāntān tubhyaṁ lēkhituṁ matimakārṣam|
5 In the days of Herod, the king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah who belonged to the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
yihūdādēśīyahērōdnāmakē rājatvaṁ kurvvati abīyayājakasya paryyāyādhikārī sikhariyanāmaka ēkō yājakō hārōṇavaṁśōdbhavā ilīśēvākhyā
6 They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and regulations of the Lord.
tasya jāyā dvāvimau nirdōṣau prabhōḥ sarvvājñā vyavasthāśca saṁmanya īśvaradr̥ṣṭau dhārmmikāvāstām|
7 But they had no children because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in their days.
tayōḥ santāna ēkōpi nāsīt, yata ilīśēvā bandhyā tau dvāvēva vr̥ddhāvabhavatām|
8 While Zechariah was serving as a priest before God when his division was on duty,
yadā svaparyyānukramēṇa sikhariya īśvāsya samakṣaṁ yājakīyaṁ karmma karōti
9 he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
tadā yajñasya dinaparipāyyā paramēśvarasya mandirē pravēśakālē dhūpajvālanaṁ karmma tasya karaṇīyamāsīt|
10 At the hour of incense the whole multitude of the people was praying outside.
taddhūpajvālanakālē lōkanivahē prārthanāṁ kartuṁ bahistiṣṭhati
11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
sati sikhariyō yasyāṁ vēdyāṁ dhūpaṁ jvālayati taddakṣiṇapārśvē paramēśvarasya dūta ēka upasthitō darśanaṁ dadau|
12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled, and fear fell upon him.
taṁ dr̥ṣṭvā sikhariya udvivijē śaśaṅkē ca|
13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for yoʋr prayer has been heard. Yoʋr wife Elizabeth will bear yoʋ a son, and yoʋ shall name him John.
tadā sa dūtastaṁ babhāṣē hē sikhariya mā bhaistava prārthanā grāhyā jātā tava bhāryyā ilīśēvā putraṁ prasōṣyatē tasya nāma yōhan iti kariṣyasi|
14 Yoʋ will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth,
kiñca tvaṁ sānandaḥ saharṣaśca bhaviṣyasi tasya janmani bahava ānandiṣyanti ca|
15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He must never drink any wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
yatō hētōḥ sa paramēśvarasya gōcarē mahān bhaviṣyati tathā drākṣārasaṁ surāṁ vā kimapi na pāsyati, aparaṁ janmārabhya pavitrēṇātmanā paripūrṇaḥ
16 He will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God.
san isrāyēlvaṁśīyān anēkān prabhōḥ paramēśvarasya mārgamānēṣyati|
17 And he will go before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers back to their children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
santānān prati pitr̥ṇāṁ manāṁsi dharmmajñānaṁ pratyanājñāgrāhiṇaśca parāvarttayituṁ, prabhōḥ paramēśvarasya sēvārtham ēkāṁ sajjitajātiṁ vidhātuñca sa ēliyarūpātmaśaktiprāptastasyāgrē gamiṣyati|
18 Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I know this for certain? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in her days.”
tadā sikhariyō dūtamavādīt kathamētad vētsyāmi? yatōhaṁ vr̥ddhō mama bhāryyā ca vr̥ddhā|
19 The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God and was sent to speak to yoʋ and bring yoʋ this good news.
tatō dūtaḥ pratyuvāca paśyēśvarasya sākṣādvarttī jibrāyēlnāmā dūtōhaṁ tvayā saha kathāṁ gadituṁ tubhyamimāṁ śubhavārttāṁ dātuñca prēṣitaḥ|
20 But behold, yoʋ will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things take place, because yoʋ did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at their appointed time.”
kintu madīyaṁ vākyaṁ kālē phaliṣyati tat tvayā na pratītam ataḥ kāraṇād yāvadēva tāni na sētsyanti tāvat tvaṁ vaktuṁmaśaktō mūkō bhava|
21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering about his delay in the temple.
tadānīṁ yē yē lōkāḥ sikhariyamapaikṣanta tē madhyēmandiraṁ tasya bahuvilambād āścaryyaṁ mēnirē|
22 When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, because he kept making signs to them and remained unable to speak.
sa bahirāgatō yadā kimapi vākyaṁ vaktumaśaktaḥ saṅkētaṁ kr̥tvā niḥśabdastasyau tadā madhyēmandiraṁ kasyacid darśanaṁ tēna prāptam iti sarvvē bubudhirē|
23 When the days of his service had come to an end, he returned to his home.
anantaraṁ tasya sēvanaparyyāyē sampūrṇē sati sa nijagēhaṁ jagāma|
24 After those days his wife Elizabeth conceived and kept herself in seclusion for five months, saying,
katipayadinēṣu gatēṣu tasya bhāryyā ilīśēvā garbbhavatī babhūva
25 “The Lord has done this for me. In these days he has looked upon me with favor and taken away my reproach among the people.”
paścāt sā pañcamāsān saṁgōpyākathayat lōkānāṁ samakṣaṁ mamāpamānaṁ khaṇḍayituṁ paramēśvarō mayi dr̥ṣṭiṁ pātayitvā karmmēdr̥śaṁ kr̥tavān|
26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,
aparañca tasyā garbbhasya ṣaṣṭhē māsē jātē gālīlpradēśīyanāsaratpurē
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.
dāyūdō vaṁśīyāya yūṣaphnāmnē puruṣāya yā mariyamnāmakumārī vāgdattāsīt tasyāḥ samīpaṁ jibrāyēl dūta īśvarēṇa prahitaḥ|
28 The angel came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with yoʋ! Blessed are yoʋ among women!”
sa gatvā jagāda hē īśvarānugr̥hītakanyē tava śubhaṁ bhūyāt prabhuḥ paramēśvarastava sahāyōsti nārīṇāṁ madhyē tvamēva dhanyā|
29 But when Mary saw him, she was greatly perplexed by his statement and began wondering what sort of greeting this might be.
tadānīṁ sā taṁ dr̥ṣṭvā tasya vākyata udvijya kīdr̥śaṁ bhāṣaṇamidam iti manasā cintayāmāsa|
30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for yoʋ have found favor with God.
tatō dūtō'vadat hē mariyam bhayaṁ mākārṣīḥ, tvayi paramēśvarasyānugrahōsti|
31 And behold, yoʋ will conceive in yoʋr womb and give birth to a son, and yoʋ shall name him Jesus.
paśya tvaṁ garbbhaṁ dhr̥tvā putraṁ prasōṣyasē tasya nāma yīśuriti kariṣyasi|
32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.
sa mahān bhaviṣyati tathā sarvvēbhyaḥ śrēṣṭhasya putra iti khyāsyati; aparaṁ prabhuḥ paramēśvarastasya piturdāyūdaḥ siṁhāsanaṁ tasmai dāsyati;
33 He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” (aiōn g165)
tathā sa yākūbō vaṁśōpari sarvvadā rājatvaṁ kariṣyati, tasya rājatvasyāntō na bhaviṣyati| (aiōn g165)
34 Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”
tadā mariyam taṁ dūtaṁ babhāṣē nāhaṁ puruṣasaṅgaṁ karōmi tarhi kathamētat sambhaviṣyati?
35 The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon yoʋ, and the power of the Most High will overshadow yoʋ; therefore the holy child that is to be born will be called the Son of God.
tatō dūtō'kathayat pavitra ātmā tvāmāśrāyiṣyati tathā sarvvaśrēṣṭhasya śaktistavōpari chāyāṁ kariṣyati tatō hētōstava garbbhād yaḥ pavitrabālakō janiṣyatē sa īśvaraputra iti khyātiṁ prāpsyati|
36 And behold, yoʋr relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren.
aparañca paśya tava jñātirilīśēvā yāṁ sarvvē bandhyāmavadan idānīṁ sā vārddhakyē santānamēkaṁ garbbhē'dhārayat tasya ṣaṣṭhamāsōbhūt|
37 For nothing is impossible with God.”
kimapi karmma nāsādhyam īśvarasya|
38 Then Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; may it happen to me according to yoʋr word.” And the angel went away from her.
tadā mariyam jagāda, paśya prabhērahaṁ dāsī mahyaṁ tava vākyānusārēṇa sarvvamētad ghaṭatām; ananataraṁ dūtastasyāḥ samīpāt pratasthē|
39 In those days Mary arose and went with haste to the hill country, to a town of Judah,
atha katipayadināt paraṁ mariyam tasmāt parvvatamayapradēśīyayihūdāyā nagaramēkaṁ śīghraṁ gatvā
40 where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
sikhariyayājakasya gr̥haṁ praviśya tasya jāyām ilīśēvāṁ sambōdhyāvadat|
41 When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
tatō mariyamaḥ sambōdhanavākyē ilīśēvāyāḥ karṇayōḥ praviṣṭamātrē sati tasyā garbbhasthabālakō nanartta| tata ilīśēvā pavitrēṇātmanā paripūrṇā satī
42 Then she exclaimed with a loud voice, “Blessed are yoʋ among women, and blessed is the fruit of yoʋr womb!
prōccairgaditumārēbhē, yōṣitāṁ madhyē tvamēva dhanyā, tava garbbhasthaḥ śiśuśca dhanyaḥ|
43 How has this happened to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
tvaṁ prabhōrmātā, mama nivēśanē tvayā caraṇāvarpitau, mamādya saubhāgyamētat|
44 For behold, when the sound of yoʋr greeting came into my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
paśya tava vākyē mama karṇayōḥ praviṣṭamātrē sati mamōdarasthaḥ śiśurānandān nanartta|
45 Blessed is she who has believed, for what the Lord has spoken to her will be fulfilled.”
yā strī vyaśvasīt sā dhanyā, yatō hētōstāṁ prati paramēśvarōktaṁ vākyaṁ sarvvaṁ siddhaṁ bhaviṣyati|
46 Then Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord,
tadānīṁ mariyam jagāda| dhanyavādaṁ parēśasya karōti māmakaṁ manaḥ|
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
mamātmā tārakēśē ca samullāsaṁ pragacchati|
48 because he has looked favorably on the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed,
akarōt sa prabhu rduṣṭiṁ svadāsyā durgatiṁ prati| paśyādyārabhya māṁ dhanyāṁ vakṣyanti puruṣāḥ sadā|
49 because the Mighty One has done great things for me; holy is his name.
yaḥ sarvvaśaktimān yasya nāmāpi ca pavitrakaṁ| sa ēva sumahatkarmma kr̥tavān mannimittakaṁ|
50 From generation to generation his mercy is upon those who fear him.
yē bibhyati janāstasmāt tēṣāṁ santānapaṁktiṣu| anukampā tadīyā ca sarvvadaiva sutiṣṭhati|
51 He has done a mighty deed with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
svabāhubalatastēna prākāśyata parākramaḥ| manaḥkumantraṇāsārddhaṁ vikīryyantē'bhimāninaḥ|
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones and exalted the lowly.
siṁhāsanagatāllōkān balinaścāvarōhya saḥ| padēṣūccēṣu lōkāṁstu kṣudrān saṁsthāpayatyapi|
53 He has filled the hungry with good things, but the rich he has sent away empty.
kṣudhitān mānavān dravyairuttamaiḥ paritarpya saḥ| sakalān dhaninō lōkān visr̥jēd riktahastakān|
54 He has helped his servant Israel, remembering his mercy,
ibrāhīmi ca tadvaṁśē yā dayāsti sadaiva tāṁ| smr̥tvā purā pitr̥ṇāṁ nō yathā sākṣāt pratiśrutaṁ| (aiōn g165)
isrāyēlsēvakastēna tathōpakriyatē svayaṁ||
56 And Mary remained with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned to her house.
anantaraṁ mariyam prāyēṇa māsatrayam ilīśēvayā sahōṣitvā vyāghuyya nijanivēśanaṁ yayau|
57 Now the time was fulfilled for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son.
tadanantaram ilīśēvāyāḥ prasavakāla upasthitē sati sā putraṁ prāsōṣṭa|
58 Then her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.
tataḥ paramēśvarastasyāṁ mahānugrahaṁ kr̥tavān ētat śrutvā samīpavāsinaḥ kuṭumbāścāgatya tayā saha mumudirē|
59 On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to give him the name of his father Zechariah.
tathāṣṭamē dinē tē bālakasya tvacaṁ chēttum ētya tasya pitr̥nāmānurūpaṁ tannāma sikhariya iti karttumīṣuḥ|
60 But the child's mother responded, “No! He is to be called John.”
kintu tasya mātākathayat tanna, nāmāsya yōhan iti karttavyam|
61 But they said to her, “There is no one among yoʋr relatives who has that name.”
tadā tē vyāharan tava vaṁśamadhyē nāmēdr̥śaṁ kasyāpi nāsti|
62 Then they began making signs to the child's father to find out what he wanted to name him.
tataḥ paraṁ tasya pitaraṁ sikhariyaṁ prati saṅkētya papracchuḥ śiśōḥ kiṁ nāma kāriṣyatē?
63 So he asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.
tataḥ sa phalakamēkaṁ yācitvā lilēkha tasya nāma yōhan bhaviṣyati| tasmāt sarvvē āścaryyaṁ mēnirē|
64 At once Zechariah's mouth was opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak, blessing God.
tatkṣaṇaṁ sikhariyasya jihvājāḍyē'pagatē sa mukhaṁ vyādāya spaṣṭavarṇamuccāryya īśvarasya guṇānuvādaṁ cakāra|
65 Then fear came upon all who dwelt around them, and in the entire hill country of Judea all these things were being discussed.
tasmāccaturdiksthāḥ samīpavāsilōkā bhītā ēvamētāḥ sarvvāḥ kathā yihūdāyāḥ parvvatamayapradēśasya sarvvatra pracāritāḥ|
66 All who heard about this laid it up in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child become?” And the hand of the Lord was with him.
tasmāt śrōtārō manaḥsu sthāpayitvā kathayāmbabhūvuḥ kīdr̥śōyaṁ bālō bhaviṣyati? atha paramēśvarastasya sahāyōbhūt|
67 Then Zechariah, the child's father, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
tadā yōhanaḥ pitā sikhariyaḥ pavitrēṇātmanā paripūrṇaḥ san ētādr̥śaṁ bhaviṣyadvākyaṁ kathayāmāsa|
68 “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited his people and brought them redemption.
isrāyēlaḥ prabhu ryastu sa dhanyaḥ paramēśvaraḥ| anugr̥hya nijāllōkān sa ēva parimōcayēt|
69 He has raised up for us a horn of salvation in the house of his servant David
vipakṣajanahastēbhyō yathā mōcyāmahē vayaṁ| yāvajjīvañca dharmmēṇa sāralyēna ca nirbhayāḥ|
sēvāmahai tamēvaikam ētatkāraṇamēva ca| svakīyaṁ supavitrañca saṁsmr̥tya niyamaṁ sadā|
71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us—
kr̥payā puruṣān pūrvvān nikaṣārthāttu naḥ pituḥ| ibrāhīmaḥ samīpē yaṁ śapathaṁ kr̥tavān purā|
72 to deal mercifully with our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,
tamēva saphalaṁ karttaṁ tathā śatrugaṇasya ca| r̥tīyākāriṇaścaiva karēbhyō rakṣaṇāya naḥ|
73 the oath he swore to Abraham our father, to grant us
sr̥ṣṭēḥ prathamataḥ svīyaiḥ pavitrai rbhāvivādibhiḥ| (aiōn g165)
74 that we, having been rescued from the hands of our enemies, might serve him without fear,
yathōktavān tathā svasya dāyūdaḥ sēvakasya tu|
75 in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our lives.
vaṁśē trātāramēkaṁ sa samutpāditavān svayam|
76 And yoʋ, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for yoʋ will go before the presence of the Lord to prepare his ways,
atō hē bālaka tvantu sarvvēbhyaḥ śrēṣṭha ēva yaḥ| tasyaiva bhāvivādīti pravikhyātō bhaviṣyasi| asmākaṁ caraṇān kṣēmē mārgē cālayituṁ sadā| ēvaṁ dhvāntē'rthatō mr̥tyōśchāyāyāṁ yē tu mānavāḥ|
77 to give his people knowledge of salvation through the remission of their sins,
upaviṣṭāstu tānēva prakāśayitumēva hi| kr̥tvā mahānukampāṁ hi yāmēva paramēśvaraḥ|
78 through the tender mercy of our God, by which the sunrise has visited us from on high,
ūrdvvāt sūryyamudāyyaivāsmabhyaṁ prādāttu darśanaṁ| tayānukampayā svasya lōkānāṁ pāpamōcanē|
79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
paritrāṇasya tēbhyō hi jñānaviśrāṇanāya ca| prabhō rmārgaṁ pariṣkarttuṁ tasyāgrāyī bhaviṣyasi||
80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
atha bālakaḥ śarīrēṇa buddhyā ca varddhitumārēbhē; aparañca sa isrāyēlō vaṁśīyalōkānāṁ samīpē yāvanna prakaṭībhūtastāstāvat prāntarē nyavasat|
