Κατα Λουκαν 1
1 Ἐπειδήπερ πολλοὶ ἐπεχείρησαν ἀνατάξασθαι διήγησιν, περὶ τῶν πεπληροφορημένων ἐν ἡμῖν πραγμάτων,
Seeing that many have taken it in hand to draw up an account of those matters which have been fully established among us,
2 καθὼς παρέδοσαν ἡμῖν οἱ ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς, αὐτόπται καὶ ὑπηρέται γενόμενοι τοῦ λόγου,
just as they reported them to us, who were from beginning eye- witnesses and ministers of the word,
3 ἔδοξε κἀμοὶ παρηκολουθηκότι ἄνωθεν πᾶσιν ἀκριβῶς, καθεξῆς σοι γράψαι, κράτιστε Θεόφιλε,
it seemed good to me also accurately, from the very beginning, to write them to you in order, most excellent Theophilus,
4 ἵνα ἐπιγνῷς περὶ ὧν κατηχήθης λόγων τὴν ἀσφάλειαν.
so that you may know the certainty of the story which you have been taught by the word of mouth.
5 Ἐγένετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἡρῴδου βασιλέως τῆς Ἰουδαίας, ἱερεύς τις ὀνόματι Ζαχαρίας ἐξ ἐφημερίας Ἀβιά, καὶ γυνὴ αὐτῷ ἐκ τῶν θυγατέρων Ἀαρών, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς, Ἐλισάβετ.
In the reign of Herod, King of Judea, there was a certain priest, named Zachariah, belonging to the class of Abijah. He had a wife named Elizabeth,
6 Ἦσαν δὲ δίκαιοι ἀμφότεροι ἐναντίον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, πορευόμενοι ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἐντολαῖς καὶ δικαιώμασιν τοῦ ˚Κυρίου ἄμεμπτοι.
who was a descendant of Aaron. They were both righteous in the sight of the Lord, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the law, blameless.
7 Καὶ οὐκ ἦν αὐτοῖς τέκνον, καθότι ἡ Ἐλισάβετ ἦν στεῖρα, καὶ ἀμφότεροι προβεβηκότες ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτῶν ἦσαν.
Now they had no child, for Elizabeth was barren, and both were far advanced in years.
8 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἱερατεύειν αὐτὸν, ἐν τῇ τάξει τῆς ἐφημερίας αὐτοῦ ἔναντι τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ,
Now while Zachariah was acting as priest before God in the due course of his class, it fell to his lot, according to the custom of priesthood,
9 κατὰ τὸ ἔθος τῆς ἱερατείας, ἔλαχε τοῦ θυμιᾶσαι, εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὸν ναὸν τοῦ ˚Κυρίου.
to enter into the sanctuary of the Lord and to burn incense.
10 Καὶ πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος ἦν τοῦ λαοῦ προσευχόμενον ἔξω τῇ ὥρᾳ τοῦ θυμιάματος.
And the whole multitude of the people were without, praying at the hour of incense.
11 Ὤφθη δὲ αὐτῷ ἄγγελος ˚Κυρίου, ἑστὼς ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τοῦ θυμιάματος.
Then there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 Καὶ ἐταράχθη Ζαχαρίας ἰδών, καὶ φόβος ἐπέπεσεν ἐπʼ αὐτόν.
And as he saw him Zachariah was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
13 Εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ ἄγγελος, “Μὴ φοβοῦ, Ζαχαρία, διότι εἰσηκούσθη ἡ δέησίς σου, καὶ ἡ γυνή σου Ἐλισάβετ γεννήσει υἱόν σοι, καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰωάννην.
But the Angel said to him. "Do not be afraid, Zachariah, because your petition has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.
14 Καὶ ἔσται χαρά σοι καὶ ἀγαλλίασις, καὶ πολλοὶ ἐπὶ τῇ γενέσει αὐτοῦ χαρήσονται.
"And he shall be to you a joy and an exultation, and many shall rejoice over his birth.
15 Ἔσται γὰρ μέγας ἐνώπιον τοῦ ˚Κυρίου, καὶ οἶνον καὶ σίκερα οὐ μὴ πίῃ, καὶ ˚Πνεύματος Ἁγίου πλησθήσεται ἔτι ἐκ κοιλίας μητρὸς αὐτοῦ.
"For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, "He shall drink neither wine nor strong drink, "He shall be filled with the Holy Spirit from the hour of his birth,
16 Καὶ πολλοὺς τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἐπιστρέψει ἐπὶ ˚Κύριον, τὸν ˚Θεὸν αὐτῶν.
"And shall win many of the sons of Israel to the Lord, their God.
17 Καὶ αὐτὸς προελεύσεται ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ἐν πνεύματι καὶ δυνάμει Ἠλεία, ἐπιστρέψαι καρδίας πατέρων ἐπὶ τέκνα, καὶ ἀπειθεῖς ἐν φρονήσει δικαίων, ἑτοιμάσαι ˚Κυρίῳ λαὸν κατεσκευασμένον.”
"He shall go before Him in the wisdom and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, and so to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him."
18 Καὶ εἶπεν Ζαχαρίας πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον, “Κατὰ τί γνώσομαι τοῦτο; Ἐγὼ γάρ εἰμι πρεσβύτης, καὶ ἡ γυνή μου προβεβηκυῖα ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτῆς.”
"How shall I be sure of this?" said Zachariah to the Angel. "For I am an old man and my wife is advanced in years."
19 Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ἄγγελος εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Ἐγώ εἰμι Γαβριὴλ, ὁ παρεστηκὼς ἐνώπιον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, καὶ ἀπεστάλην λαλῆσαι πρὸς σὲ, καὶ εὐαγγελίσασθαί σοι ταῦτα.
"I am Gabriel," answered the angel, "who stand in the presence of God; and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring and to bring you this good news.
20 Καὶ ἰδοὺ, ἔσῃ σιωπῶν καὶ μὴ δυνάμενος λαλῆσαι, ἄχρι ἧς ἡμέρας γένηται ταῦτα, ἀνθʼ ὧν οὐκ ἐπίστευσας τοῖς λόγοις μου, οἵτινες πληρωθήσονται εἰς τὸν καιρὸν αὐτῶν.”
"And now you shall be silent and unable to speak until the day the day when this has taken place; because you did not believe my words - Words which will be fulfilled at their appointed time."
21 Καὶ ἦν ὁ λαὸς προσδοκῶν τὸν Ζαχαρίαν, καὶ ἐθαύμαζον ἐν τῷ χρονίζειν αὐτόν ἐν τῷ ναῷ.
Meanwhile the people were waiting for Zachariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the sanctuary.
22 Ἐξελθὼν δὲ οὐκ ἐδύνατο λαλῆσαι αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐπέγνωσαν ὅτι ὀπτασίαν ἑώρακεν ἐν τῷ ναῷ. Καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν διανεύων αὐτοῖς, καὶ διέμενεν κωφός.
And when he came out he could not speak to them, and then they knew that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them and remained dumb.
23 Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐπλήσθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τῆς λειτουργίας αὐτοῦ, ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
As soon as his term of priestly service was ended he went home;
24 Μετὰ δὲ ταύτας τὰς ἡμέρας συνέλαβεν Ἐλισάβετ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ περιέκρυβεν ἑαυτὴν μῆνας πέντε λέγουσα,
and after those days Elizabeth, his wife, Conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying.
25 ὅτι “Οὕτως μοι πεποίηκεν ˚Κύριος, ἐν ἡμέραις αἷς ἐπεῖδεν, ἀφελεῖν ὄνειδός μου ἐν ἀνθρώποις.”
"This has the Lord done for me. He has now deigned to take the away my reproach among men."
26 Ἐν δὲ τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἕκτῳ, ἀπεστάλη ὁ ἄγγελος Γαβριὴλ ἀπὸ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ εἰς πόλιν τῆς Γαλιλαίας, ᾗ ὄνομα Ναζαρὲτ,
Six months later the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee, called Nazareth,
27 πρὸς παρθένον ἐμνηστευμένην ἀνδρὶ, ᾧ ὄνομα Ἰωσὴφ, ἐξ οἴκου Δαυὶδ, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς παρθένου Μαριάμ.
to a maiden betrothed to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. Her name was Mary.
28 Καὶ εἰσελθὼν ὁ ἄγγελος πρὸς αὐτὴν, εἶπεν, “Χαῖρε, κεχαριτωμένη! Ὁ ˚Κύριος μετὰ σοῦ.”
The angel went in and said to her. "Joy to you, highly favored one! "The Lord is with you."
29 Ἡ δὲ ἐπὶ τῷ λόγῳ διεταράχθη, καὶ διελογίζετο ποταπὸς εἴη ὁ ἀσπασμὸς οὗτος.
Mary was greatly agitated at his word, and was revolving in her mind what this salutation could mean.
30 Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος αὐτῇ, “Μὴ φοβοῦ, Μαριάμ, εὗρες γὰρ χάριν παρὰ τῷ ˚Θεῷ.
when the angel said to her. "Fear not Mary, for you have found grace with God.
31 Καὶ ἰδοὺ, συλλήμψῃ ἐν γαστρὶ, καὶ τέξῃ υἱόν, καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ˚Ἰησοῦν.
"And behold, you shall conceive in your womb and bear a son; and you shall call his name Jesus.
32 Οὗτος ἔσται μέγας, καὶ Υἱὸς Ὑψίστου κληθήσεται, καὶ δώσει αὐτῷ ˚Κύριος ὁ ˚Θεὸς τὸν θρόνον Δαυὶδ, τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ,
"He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High. "And the Lord God will give him the throne of his forefather David,
33 καὶ βασιλεύσει ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ἰακὼβ, εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, καὶ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἔσται τέλος.” (aiōn g165)
"and he shall reign over the House of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end." (aiōn g165)
34 Εἶπεν δὲ Μαριὰμ πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον, “Πῶς ἔσται τοῦτο, ἐπεὶ ἄνδρα οὐ γινώσκω;”
And Mary said to the angel. "How can this be? For I have no husband?"
35 Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ἄγγελος εἶπεν αὐτῇ, “˚Πνεῦμα Ἅγιον ἐπελεύσεται ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ δύναμις Ὑψίστου ἐπισκιάσει σοι· διὸ καὶ τὸ γεννώμενον Ἅγιον κληθήσεται, Υἱὸς ˚Θεοῦ.
"The Holy Spirit shall come upon you," said the angel, "and the power of the most High shall overshadow you, and therefore the holy offspring which is born, shall be called the son of God.
36 Καὶ ἰδοὺ, Ἐλισάβετ, ἡ συγγενίς σου, καὶ αὐτὴ συνείληφεν υἱὸν ἐν γήρει αὐτῆς, καὶ οὗτος μὴν ἕκτος ἐστὶν αὐτῇ τῇ καλουμένῃ στείρᾳ.
"And behold your kinswoman, Elizabeth, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this was the sixth month with her that was called barren.
37 Ὅτι οὐκ ἀδυνατήσει παρὰ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ πᾶν ῥῆμα.”
"For no word of God shall be void of power."
38 Εἶπεν δὲ Μαριάμ, “Ἰδοὺ, ἡ δούλη ˚Κυρίου· γένοιτό μοι κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου.” Καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἀπʼ αὐτῆς ὁ ἄγγελος.
Then Mary said. "Behold I am Lord’s slave. Let it be to me as you have said." Then the angel departed from her.
39 Ἀναστᾶσα δὲ Μαριὰμ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταύταις, ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν ὀρεινὴν μετὰ σπουδῆς, εἰς πόλιν Ἰούδα,
Soon after this Mary set out and hastened unto the hill-country to a town in Judah;
40 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ζαχαρίου, καὶ ἠσπάσατο τὴν Ἐλισάβετ.
and there she came into the house of Zachariah, and greeted Elizabeth.
41 Καὶ ἐγένετο, ὡς ἤκουσεν τὸν ἀσπασμὸν τῆς Μαρίας ἡ Ἐλισάβετ, ἐσκίρτησεν τὸ βρέφος ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπλήσθη ˚Πνεύματος Ἁγίου ἡ Ἐλισάβετ,
And when Elizabeth heard her salutation, the babe leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth herself was filled with the Holy Spirit,
42 καὶ ἀνεφώνησεν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ καὶ εἶπεν, “Εὐλογημένη σὺ ἐν γυναιξίν, καὶ εὐλογημένος ὁ καρπὸς τῆς κοιλίας σου.
and called out with a loud cry. "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is your unborn child!
43 Καὶ πόθεν μοι τοῦτο, ἵνα ἔλθῃ ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ ˚Κυρίου μου πρὸς ἐμέ;
"But why is this honor done me, that the mother of my Lord should come me?
44 Ἰδοὺ γὰρ, ὡς ἐγένετο ἡ φωνὴ τοῦ ἀσπασμοῦ σου εἰς τὰ ὦτά μου, ἐσκίρτησεν ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει τὸ βρέφος ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ μου.
"For behold when the sound of your salutation reached my ears, the babe leaped with joy within my womb.
45 Καὶ μακαρία ἡ πιστεύσασα ὅτι ἔσται τελείωσις τοῖς λελαλημένοις αὐτῇ παρὰ ˚Κυρίου.”
"And blessed is she who believed that the Lord’s words spoken to her would be fulfilled."
46 Καὶ εἶπεν Μαριάμ: “Μεγαλύνει ἡ ψυχή μου τὸν ˚Κύριον,
And Mary said. "My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 καὶ ἠγαλλίασεν τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐπὶ τῷ ˚Θεῷ, τῷ Σωτῆρί μου.
"My spirit exults in the God, who is my Saviour,
48 Ὅτι ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ τὴν ταπείνωσιν τῆς δούλης αὐτοῦ. Ἰδοὺ γὰρ, ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν μακαριοῦσίν με πᾶσαι αἱ γενεαί.
"For he has regarded the humiliation of his slave, And from this hour all ages will count me blessed.
49 Ὅτι ἐποίησέν μοι μεγάλα ὁ δυνατός, καὶ ἅγιον τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ.
"For he who is mighty has done great things for me; And holy is his name.
50 ‘Καὶ τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ εἰς γενεὰς καὶ γενεὰς, τοῖς φοβουμένοις αὐτόν.’
"His mercy is unto generations and generations on those who reverence him.
51 Ἐποίησεν κράτος ἐν βραχίονι αὐτοῦ, διεσκόρπισεν ὑπερηφάνους διανοίᾳ καρδίας αὐτῶν.
"He has showed strength with his arm. "He has scattered proud in the imagination of their hearts;
52 Καθεῖλεν δυνάστας ἀπὸ θρόνων, καὶ ὕψωσεν ταπεινούς.
"he has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted those of low degree.
53 ‘Πεινῶντας ἐνέπλησεν ἀγαθῶν’, καὶ πλουτοῦντας ἐξαπέστειλεν κενούς.
"The hungry he has filled with good things, But the rich he has sent empty away.
54 Ἀντελάβετο Ἰσραὴλ παιδὸς αὐτοῦ, μνησθῆναι ἐλέους,
"He has helped Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
55 καθὼς ἐλάλησεν πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν, τῷ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.” (aiōn g165)
"As he spoke to our forefathers, to Abraham and his offspring forever." (aiōn g165)
56 Ἔμεινεν δὲ Μαριὰμ σὺν αὐτῇ ὡς μῆνας τρεῖς, καὶ ὑπέστρεψεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτῆς.
So Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and returned home.
57 Τῇ δὲ Ἐλισάβετ ἐπλήσθη ὁ χρόνος, τοῦ τεκεῖν αὐτήν, καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱόν.
Now when the time of Elizabeth’s delivery was come, she gave birth to a son;
58 Καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ περίοικοι καὶ οἱ συγγενεῖς αὐτῆς ὅτι ἐμεγάλυνεν ˚Κύριος τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτῆς, καὶ συνέχαιρον αὐτῇ.
and her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her,
59 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ, ἦλθον περιτεμεῖν τὸ παιδίον, καὶ ἐκάλουν αὐτὸ ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, Ζαχαρίαν.
and came on the eighth day to circumcise the child. They were about to call him "Zachariah," after his father,
60 Καὶ ἀποκριθεῖσα ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ εἶπεν, “Οὐχί, ἀλλὰ κληθήσεται Ἰωάννης.”
when his mother said, "No, he is to be called John."
61 Καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτὴν, ὅτι “Οὐδείς ἐστιν ἐκ τῆς συγγενείας σου, ὃς καλεῖται τῷ ὀνόματι τούτῳ.”
Said they, "You have no relatives of that name!"
62 Ἐνένευον δὲ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ, τὸ τί ἂν θέλοι καλεῖσθαι αὐτό.
Then they asked his father by signs what he wished to call the child.
63 Καὶ αἰτήσας πινακίδιον, ἔγραψεν λέγων, “Ἰωάννης ἐστὶν ὄνομα αὐτοῦ.” Καὶ ἐθαύμασαν πάντες.
So he asked for a writing tablet and wrote down, "His name is John."
64 Ἀνεῴχθη δὲ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ παραχρῆμα, καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλάλει εὐλογῶν τὸν ˚Θεόν.
Every one was surprised, and at once his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.
65 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ πάντας φόβος, τοὺς περιοικοῦντας αὐτούς, καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ ὀρεινῇ τῆς Ἰουδαίας διελαλεῖτο πάντα τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα.
And there came a great fear upon all in the neighborhood; and throughout the hill country of Judea all these sayings were much talked about.
66 Καὶ ἔθεντο πάντες οἱ ἀκούσαντες ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν, λέγοντες, “Τί ἄρα τὸ παιδίον τοῦτο ἔσται;” Καὶ γὰρ χεὶρ ˚Κυρίου ἦν μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
All the story laid it up in their hearts, saying "What, then, will this child be?" For the Lord’s hands was with him.
67 Καὶ Ζαχαρίας ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, ἐπλήσθη ˚Πνεύματος Ἁγίου καὶ ἐπροφήτευσεν λέγων,
And his father, Zachariah, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying.
68 “Εὐλογητὸς ˚Κύριος ὁ ˚Θεὸς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι ἐπεσκέψατο καὶ ἐποίησεν λύτρωσιν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ,
"Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, For he has visited and redeemed his people,
69 καὶ ἤγειρεν κέρας σωτηρίας ἡμῖν, ἐν οἴκῳ Δαυὶδ, παιδὸς αὐτοῦ,
"And has raised up a mighty Deliverer for us In the house of his servant David,
"As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets Which have been since the world began (aiōn g165)
71 σωτηρίαν ‘ἐξ ἐχθρῶν ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς πάντων τῶν μισούντων ἡμᾶς’,
To deliver us from our enemies, and from the power Of all who hate us.
72 ποιῆσαι ἔλεος μετὰ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, καὶ μνησθῆναι διαθήκης ἁγίας αὐτοῦ,
"He showed mercy to our forefathers, He remembered his holy covenant,
73 ὅρκον ὃν ὤμοσεν πρὸς Ἀβραὰμ, τὸν πατέρα ἡμῶν, τοῦ δοῦναι ἡμῖν
"The oath which he swore to Abraham, our forefather,
74 ἀφόβως ἐκ χειρὸς ἐχθρῶν ῥυσθέντας, λατρεύειν αὐτῷ
"That he we should be delivered out of the Hand of our enemies, And should serve him without fear,
75 ἐν ὁσιότητι καὶ δικαιοσύνῃ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, πάσαις ταῖς ἡμέραις ἡμῶν.
"In holiness and righteousness before him All our days.
76 Καὶ σὺ δέ, παιδίον, προφήτης Ὑψίστου κληθήσῃ, ‘προπορεύσῃ γὰρ ἐνώπιον ˚Κυρίου ἑτοιμάσαι ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ’,
"And thou, child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Most High, For thou shalt go before the Lord to prepare the way
77 τοῦ δοῦναι γνῶσιν σωτηρίας τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ, ἐν ἀφέσει ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν,
"To give to his people a knowledge of salvation Through the remission of their sins,
78 διὰ σπλάγχνα ἐλέους ˚Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, ἐν οἷς ἐπισκέψεται ἡμᾶς ἀνατολὴ ἐξ ὕψους,
"Through the heart of mercy of our God, Whereby the Dayspring from on high shall visit us,
79 ‘ἐπιφᾶναι τοῖς ἐν σκότει καὶ σκιᾷ θανάτου καθημένοις’, τοῦ κατευθῦναι τοὺς πόδας ἡμῶν εἰς ὁδὸν εἰρήνης.”
"To give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, And to guide our feet into the paths of peace."
80 Τὸ δὲ παιδίον ηὔξανε καὶ ἐκραταιοῦτο πνεύματι, καὶ ἦν ἐν ταῖς ἐρήμοις ἕως ἡμέρας ἀναδείξεως αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
And the child grew, and became strong in the Spirit, and remained in the desert till the day of his showing to Israel.
