Luke 1

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	NOVA VULGATA
1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things which have been accomplished among us,	1 Quoniam quidem multi conati sunt ordinare narrationem, quae in nobiscompletae sunt, rerum,
2 just as they were delivered to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word,	2 sicut tradiderunt nobis, qui ab initio ipsi viderunt etministri fuerunt verbi,
3 it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,	3 visum est et mihi, adsecuto a principio omnia,diligenter ex ordine tibi scribere, optime Theophile,
4 that you may know the truth concerning the things of which you have been informed.	4 ut cognoscas eorumverborum, de quibus eruditus es, firmitatem.
5 In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.	5 Fuit in diebus Herodis regis Iudaeae sacerdos quidam nomine Zacharias de viceAbiae, et uxor illi de filiabus Aaron, et nomen eius Elisabeth.
6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.	6 Erant autemiusti ambo ante Deum, incedentes in omnibus mandatis et iustificationibusDomini, irreprehensibiles.
7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years.	7 Et non erat illis filius, eo quod esset Elisabethsterilis, et ambo processissent in diebus suis.
8 Now while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty,	8 Factum est autem, cum sacerdotio fungeretur in ordine vicis suae ante Deum,
9 according to the custom of the priesthood, it fell to him by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.	9 secundum consuetudinem sacerdotii sorte exiit, ut incensum poneret ingressus intemplum Domini;
10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.	10 et omnis multitudo erat populi orans foris hora incensi.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.	11 Apparuit autem illi angelus Domini stans a dextris altaris incensi;
12 And Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.	12 etZacharias turbatus est videns, et timor irruit super eum.
13 But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer is heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.	13 Ait autem ad illumangelus: “ Ne timeas, Zacharia, quoniam exaudita est deprecatio tua, et uxortua Elisabeth pariet tibi filium, et vocabis nomen eius Ioannem.
14 And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth;	14 Et eritgaudium tibi et exsultatio, et multi in nativitate eius gaudebunt:
15 for he will be great before the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.	15 erit enimmagnus coram Domino et vinum et siceram non bibet et Spiritu Sancto replebituradhuc ex utero matris suae
16 And he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God,	16 et multos filiorum Israel convertet ad DominumDeum ipsorum.
17 and he will go 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 just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared."	17 Et ipse praecedet ante illum in spiritu et virtute Eliae, utconvertat corda patrum in filios et incredibiles ad prudentiam iustorum, parareDomino plebem perfectam ”.
18 And Zechariah said to the angel, "How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years."	18 Et dixit Zacharias ad angelum: “ Unde hocsciam? Ego enim sum senex, et uxor mea processit in diebus suis ”.
19 And the angel answered him, "I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news.	19 Etrespondens angelus dixit ei: “ Ego sum Gabriel, qui adsto ante Deum, et missussum loqui ad te et haec tibi evangelizare.
20 And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things come to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time."	20 Et ecce: eris tacens et nonpoteris loqui usque in diem, quo haec fiant, pro eo quod non credidisti verbismeis, quae implebuntur in tempore suo ”.
21 And the people were waiting for Zechariah, and they wondered at his delay in the temple.	21 Et erat plebs exspectans Zachariam, et mirabantur quod tardaret ipse intemplo.
22 And when he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them and remained dumb.	22 Egressus autem non poterat loqui ad illos, et cognoverunt quodvisionem vidisset in templo; et ipse erat innuens illis et permansit mutus.
23 And when his time of service was ended, he went to his home.	23 Et factum est, ut impleti sunt dies officii eius, abiit in domum suam.
24 After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she hid herself, saying,	24 Post hos autem dies concepit Elisabeth uxor eius et occultabat se mensibusquinque dicens:
25 "Thus the Lord has done to me in the days when he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men."	25 “ Sic mihi fecit Dominus in diebus, quibus respexit auferreopprobrium meum inter homines ”.
26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,	26 In mense autem sexto missus est angelus Gabriel a Deo in civitatem Galilaeae,cui nomen Nazareth,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.	27 ad virginem desponsatam viro, cui nomen erat Ioseph dedomo David, et nomen virginis Maria.
28 And he came to her and said, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!"	28 Et ingressus ad eam dixit: “ Ave,gratia plena, Dominus tecum ”.
29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be.	29 Ipsa autem turbata est in sermone eius etcogitabat qualis esset ista salutatio.
30 And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.	30 Et ait angelus ei: “ Ne timeas,Maria; invenisti enim gratiam apud Deum.
31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.	31 Et ecce concipies in utero et pariesfilium et vocabis nomen eius Iesum.
32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David,	32 Hic erit magnus et Filius Altissimivocabitur, et dabit illi Dominus Deus sedem David patris eius,
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there will be no end."	33 et regnabitsuper domum Iacob in aeternum, et regni eius non erit finis ”.
34 And Mary said to the angel, "How shall this be, since I have no husband?"	34 Dixit autem Maria ad angelum: “ Quomodo fiet istud, quoniam virum noncognosco? ”.
35 And the angel said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.	35 Et respondens angelus dixit ei: “ Spiritus Sanctussuperveniet in te, et virtus Altissimi obumbrabit tibi: ideoque et quod nascetursanctum, vocabitur Filius Dei.
36 And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.	36 Et ecce Elisabeth cognata tua et ipsa concepitfilium in senecta sua, et hic mensis est sextus illi, quae vocatur sterilis,
37 For with God nothing will be impossible."	37 quia non erit impossibile apud Deum omne verbum ”.
38 And Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.	38 Dixit autem Maria: “Ecce ancilla Domini; fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum ”. Et discessit ab illaangelus.
39 In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah,	39 Exsurgens autem Maria in diebus illis abiit in montana cum festinatione incivitatem Iudae
40 and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.	40 et intravit in domum Zachariae et salutavit Elisabeth.
41 And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit	41 Etfactum est, ut audivit salutationem Mariae Elisabeth, exsultavit infans in uteroeius, et repleta est Spiritu Sancto Elisabeth
42 and she exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!	42 et exclamavit voce magna etdixit: “ Benedicta tu inter mulieres, et benedictus fructus ventris tui.
43 And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?	43 Etunde hoc mihi, ut veniat mater Domini mei ad me?
44 For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.	44 Ecce enim ut facta est voxsalutationis tuae in auribus meis, exsultavit in gaudio infans in utero meo.
45 And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her from the Lord."	45 Et beata, quae credidit, quoniam perficientur ea, quae dicta sunt ei a Domino”.
46 And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord,	46 Et ait Maria: “ Magnificat anima mea Dominum,
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,	47 et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salvatore meo,
48 for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed;	48 quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae. Ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes,
49 for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.	49 quia fecit mihi magna, qui potens est, et sanctum nomen eius,
50 And his mercy is on those who fear him from generation to generation.	50 et misericordia eius in progenies et progenies timentibus eum.
51 He has shown strength with his arm, he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts,	51 Fecit potentiam in brachio suo, dispersit superbos mente cordis sui;
52 he has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree;	52 deposuit potentes de sede et exaltavit humiles;
53 he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent empty away.	53 esurientes implevit bonis et divites dimisit inanes.
54 He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy,	54 Suscepit Israel puerum suum, recordatus misericordiae,
55 as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his posterity for ever."	55 sicut locutus est ad patres nostros, Abraham et semini eius in saecula ”.
56 And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her home.	56 Mansit autem Maria cum illa quasi mensibus tribus et reversa est in domumsuam.
57 Now the time came for Elizabeth to be delivered, and she gave birth to a son.	57 Elisabeth autem impletum est tempus pariendi, et peperit filium.
58 And her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.	58 Etaudierunt vicini et cognati eius quia magnificavit Dominus misericordiam suamcum illa, et congratulabantur ei.
59 And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they would have named him Zechariah after his father,	59 Et factum est, in die octavo veneruntcircumcidere puerum et vocabant eum nomine patris eius, Zachariam.
60 but his mother said, "Not so; he shall be called John."	60 Etrespondens mater eius dixit: “ Nequaquam, sed vocabitur Ioannes ”.
61 And they said to her, "None of your kindred is called by this name."	61 Etdixerunt ad illam: “ Nemo est in cognatione tua, qui vocetur hoc nomine ”.
62 And they made signs to his father, inquiring what he would have him called.	62 Innuebant autem patri eius quem vellet vocari eum.
63 And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they all marveled.	63 Et postulans pugillaremscripsit dicens: “ Ioannes est nomen eius ”. Et mirati sunt universi.
64 And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.	64 Apertum est autem ilico os eius et lingua eius, et loquebatur benedicens Deum.
65 And fear came on all their neighbors. And all these things were talked about through all the hill country of Judea;	65 Et factus est timor super omnes vicinos eorum, et super omnia montana Iudaeaedivulgabantur omnia verba haec.
66 and all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, "What then will this child be?" For the hand of the Lord was with him.	66 Et posuerunt omnes, qui audierant, in cordesuo dicentes: “ Quid putas puer iste erit? ”. Etenim manus Domini erat cumillo.
67 And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,	67 Et Zacharias pater eius impletus est Spiritu Sancto et prophetavit dicens:
68 "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people,	68 “ Benedictus Dominus, Deus Israel, quia visitavit et fecit redemptionem plebi suae
69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David,	69 et erexit cornu salutis nobis in domo David pueri sui,
70 as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old,	70 sicut locutus est per os sanctorum, qui a saeculo sunt, prophetarum eius,
71 that we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us;	71 salutem ex inimicis nostris et de manu omnium, qui oderunt nos;
72 to perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,	72 ad faciendam misericordiam cum patribus nostris et memorari testamenti sui sancti,
73 the oath which he swore to our father Abraham,	73 iusiurandum, quod iuravit ad Abraham patrem nostrum, daturum se nobis,
74 to grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear,	74 ut sine timore, de manu inimicorum liberati, serviamus illi
75 in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life.	75 in sanctitate et iustitia coram ipso omnibus diebus nostris.
76 And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,	76 Et tu, puer, propheta Altissimi vocaberis: praeibis enim ante faciem Domini parare vias eius,
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins,	77 ad dandam scientiam salutis plebi eius in remissionem peccatorum eorum,
78 through the tender mercy of our God, when the day shall dawn upon us from on high	78 per viscera misericordiae Dei nostri, in quibus visitabit nos oriens ex alto,
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."	79 illuminare his, qui in tenebris et in umbra mortis sedent, ad dirigendos pedes nostros in viam pacis ”.
80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness till the day of his manifestation to Israel.	80 Puer autem crescebat et confortabatur spiritu et erat in deserto usque indiem ostensionis suae ad Israel.
