Luke 1

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a narration of the things that have been accomplished among us;	1 Επειδη πολλοι επεχειρησαν να συνταξωσι διηγησιν περι των μετα πληροφοριας βεβαιωμενων εις ημας πραγματων,
2 According as they have delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word:	2 καθως παρεδοσαν εις ημας οι απ' αρχης γενομενοι αυτοπται και υπηρεται του λογου,
3 It seemed good to me also, having diligently attained to all things from the beginning, to write to thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,	3 εφανη και εις εμε ευλογον, οστις διηρευνησα παντα εξ αρχης ακριβως, να σοι γραψω κατα σειραν περι τουτων, κρατιστε Θεοφιλε,
4 That thou mayest know the verity of those words in which thou hast been instructed.	4 δια να γνωρισης την βεβαιοτητα των πραγματων, περι των οποιων κατηχηθης.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zachary, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.	5 Υπηρξεν επι των ημερων Ηρωδου, του βασιλεως της Ιουδαιας, ιερευς τις το ονομα Ζαχαριας εκ της εφημεριας Αβια, και η γυνη αυτου ητο εκ των θυγατερων του Ααρων, και το ονομα αυτης Ελισαβετ.
6 And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and justifications of the Lord without blame.	6 Ησαν δε αμφοτεροι δικαιοι ενωπιον του Θεου, περιπατουντες εν πασαις ταις εντολαις και τοις δικαιωμασι του Κυριου αμεμπτοι.
7 And they had no son, for that Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.	7 Και δεν ειχον τεκνον, καθοτι η Ελισαβετ ητο στειρα, και αμφοτεροι ησαν προβεβηκοτες εις την ηλικιαν αυτων.
8 And it came to pass, when he executed the priestly function in the order of his course before God,	8 Ενω δε ιερατευεν αυτος εν τη ταξει της εφημεριας αυτου ενωπιον του Θεου,
9 According to the custom of the priestly office, it was his lot to offer incense, going into the temple of the Lord.	9 κατα το εθος της ιερατειας επεσεν εις αυτον ο κληρος να θυμιαση εισελθων εις τον ναον του Κυριου?
10 And all the multitude of the people was praying without, at the hour of incense.	10 και παν το πληθος του λαου προσηυχετο εξω εν τη ωρα του θυμιαματος.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the alter of incense.	11 Εφανη δε εις αυτον αγγελος Κυριου, ισταμενος εκ δεξιων του θυσιαστηριου του θυμιαματος?
12 And Zachary seeing him, was troubled, and fear fell upon him.	12 και ο Ζαχαριας ιδων εταραχθη, και φοβος επεπεσεν επ' αυτον.
13 But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachary, for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John:	13 Ειπε δε προς αυτον ο αγγελος? Μη φοβου, Ζαχαρια? διοτι εισηκουσθη η δεησις σου, και η γυνη σου Ελισαβετ θελει γεννησει υιον εις σε, και θελεις καλεσει το ονομα αυτου Ιωαννην.
14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice in his nativity.	14 και θελει εισθαι εις σε χαρα και αγαλλιασις, και πολλοι θελουσι χαρη δια την γεννησιν αυτου.
15 For he shall be great before the Lord; and shall drink no wine nor strong drink: and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.	15 Διοτι θελει εισθαι μεγας ενωπιον του Κυριου, και οινον και σικερα δεν θελει πιει, και θελει πληρωθη Πνευματος Αγιου ετι εκ κοιλιας της μητρος αυτου,
16 And he shall convert many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.	16 και πολλους των υιων Ισραηλ θελει επιστρεψει εις Κυριον τον Θεον αυτων.
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias; that he may turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and the incredulous to the wisdom of the just, to prepare unto the Lord a perfect people.	17 Και αυτος θελει ελθει προ προσωπου αυτου εν πνευματι και δυναμει Ηλιου, δια να επιστρεψη τας καρδιας των πατερων εις τα τεκνα και τους απειθεις εις την φρονησιν των δικαιων, δια να ετοιμαση εις τον Κυριον λαον προδιατεθειμενον.
18 And Zachary said to the angel: Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.	18 Και ειπεν ο Ζαχαριας προς τον αγγελον? Πως θελω γνωρισει τουτο; διοτι εγω ειμαι γερων, και η γυνη μου προβεβηκυια εις την ηλικιαν αυτης.
19 And the angel answering, said to him: I am Gabriel, who stand before God: and am sent to speak to thee, and to bring thee these good tidings.	19 Και αποκριθεις ο αγγελος, ειπε προς αυτον? Εγω ειμαι Γαβριηλ ο παρισταμενος ενωπιον του Θεου, και απεσταλην δια να λαλησω προς σε και να σε ευαγγελισω ταυτα.
20 And behold, thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be able to speak until the day wherein these things shall come to pass, because thou hast not believed my words, which shall be fulfilled in their time.	20 Και ιδου, θελεις εισθαι σιωπων και μη δυναμενος να λαλησης εως της ημερας, καθ' ην θελουσι γεινει ταυτα, διοτι δεν επιστευσας εις τους λογους μου, οιτινες θελουσιν εκπληρωθη εις τον καιρον αυτων.
21 And the people were waiting for Zachary; and they wondered that he tarried so long in the temple.	21 Και ο λαος περιεμενε τον Ζαχαριαν, και εθαυμαζον οτι εβραδυνεν εν τω ναω.
22 And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they understood that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he made signs to them, and remained dumb.	22 Οτε δε εξηλθε, δεν ηδυνατο να λαληση προς αυτους? και ενοησαν οτι οπτασιαν ειδεν εν τω ναω? και αυτος εκαμνεν εις αυτους νευματα και διεμενε κωφος.
23 And it came to pass, after the days of his office were accomplished, he departed to his own house.	23 Και αφου ετελειωσαν αι ημεραι της λειτουργιας αυτου, απηλθεν εις τον οικον αυτου.
24 And after those days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying:	24 Μετα δε ταυτας τας ημερας συνελαβεν Ελισαβετ η γυνη αυτου, και εκρυπτεν εαυτην πεντε μηνας, λεγουσα
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he hath had regard to take away my reproach among men.	25 οτι ουτως εκαμεν εις εμε ο Κυριος εν ταις ημεραις, καθ' ας επεβλεψε να αφαιρεση το ονειδος μου μεταξυ των ανθρωπων.
26 And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,	26 Εν δε τω μηνι τω εκτω απεσταλη ο αγγελος Γαβριηλ υπο του Θεου εις πολιν της Γαλιλαιας ονομαζομενην Ναζαρετ,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.	27 προς παρθενον ηρραβωνισμενην με ανδρα ονομαζομενον Ιωσηφ, εξ οικου Δαβιδ, και το ονομα της παρθενου Μαριαμ.
28 And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.	28 Και εισελθων ο αγγελος προς αυτην, ειπε? Χαιρε, κεχαριτωμενη? ο Κυριος μετα σου? ευλογημενη συ εν γυναιξιν.
29 Who having heard, was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be.	29 Εκεινη δε ιδουσα διεταραχθη δια τον λογον αυτου, και διελογιζετο οποιος ταχα ητο ο ασπασμος ουτος.
30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.	30 Και ειπεν ο αγγελος προς αυτην? Μη φοβου, Μαριαμ? διοτι ευρες χαριν παρα τω Θεω.
31 Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus.	31 Και ιδου, θελεις συλλαβει εν γαστρι και θελεις γεννησει υιον και θελεις καλεσει το ονομα αυτου Ιησουν.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever.	32 Ουτος θελει εισθαι μεγας και Υιος Υψιστου θελει ονομασθη, και θελει δωσει εις αυτον Κυριος ο Θεος τον θρονον Δαβιδ του πατρος αυτου,
33 And of his kingdom there shall be no end.	33 και θελει βασιλευσει επι τον οικον του Ιακωβ εις τους αιωνας, και της βασιλειας αυτου δεν θελει εισθαι τελος.
34 And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?	34 Ειπε δε η Μαριαμ προς τον αγγελον. Πως θελει εισθαι τουτο, επειδη ανδρα δεν γνωριζω;
35 And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.	35 Και αποκριθεις ο αγγελος ειπε προς αυτην? Πνευμα Αγιον θελει επελθει επι σε, και δυναμις του Υψιστου θελει σε επισκιασει? δια τουτο και το γεννωμενον εκ σου αγιον θελει ονομασθη Υιος Θεου.
36 And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren:	36 και ιδου, Ελισαβετ η συγγενης σου και αυτη συνελαβεν υιον εις το γηρας αυτης, και ουτος ειναι μην εκτος εις αυτην την καλουμενην στειραν?
37 Because no word shall be impossible with God.	37 διοτι ουδεν πραγμα θελει εισθαι αδυνατον παρα τω Θεω.
38 And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.	38 Ειπε δε η Μαριαμ? Ιδου, η δουλη του Κυριου? γενοιτο εις εμε κατα τον λογον σου. Και ανεχωρησεν απ' αυτης ο αγγελος.
39 And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.	39 Σηκωθεισα δε η Μαριαμ εν ταις ημεραις ταυταις, υπηγε μετα σπουδης εις την ορεινην εις πολιν Ιουδα,
40 And she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted Elizabeth.	40 και εισηλθεν εις τον οικον Ζαχαριου και ησπασθη την Ελισαβετ.
41 And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:	41 Και ως ηκουσεν η Ελισαβετ τον ασπασμον της Μαριας, εσκιρτησε το βρεφος εν τη κοιλια αυτης? και επλησθη Πνευματος Αγιου η Ελισαβετ
42 And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.	42 και ανεφωνησε μετα φωνης μεγαλης και ειπεν? Ευλογημενη συ εν γυναιξι και ευλογημενος ο καρπος της κοιλιας σου.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?	43 Και ποθεν μοι τουτο, να ελθη η μητηρ του Κυριου μου προς με;
44 For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.	44 Διοτι ιδου, καθως ηλθεν η φωνη του ασπασμου σου εις τα ωτα μου, εσκιρτησεν εν αγαλλιασει το βρεφος εν τη κοιλια μου.
45 And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.	45 Και μακαρια η πιστευσασα, διοτι θελει γεινει εκπληρωσις των λαληθεντων προς αυτην παρα Κυριου.
46 And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.	46 Και ειπεν η Μαριαμ? Μεγαλυνει η ψυχη μου τον Κυριον
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.	47 και ηγαλλιασε το πνευμα μου εις τον Θεον τον Σωτηρα μου,
48 Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.	48 διοτι επεβλεψεν επι την ταπεινωσιν της δουλης αυτου. Επειδη ιδου, απο του νυν θελουσι με μακαριζει πασαι αι γενεαι?
49 Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name.	49 διοτι εκαμεν εις εμε μεγαλεια ο δυνατος και αγιον το ονομα αυτου,
50 And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.	50 και το ελεος αυτου εις γενεας γενεων επι τους φοβουμενους αυτον.
51 He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.	51 Ενηργησε κραταιως δια του βραχιονος αυτου? διεσκορπισε τους υπερηφανους κατα τα διανοηματα της καρδιας αυτων.
52 He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble.	52 Εκρημνισε δυναστας απο θρονων και υψωσε ταπεινους,
53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.	53 πεινωντας ενεπλησεν απο αγαθα και πλουτουντας εξαπεστειλε κενους.
54 He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy:	54 Εβοηθησεν Ισραηλ τον δουλον αυτου, ενθυμηθεις το ελεος αυτου,
55 As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever.	55 Καθως ελαλησε προς τους πατερας ημων, προς τον Αβρααμ και προς το σπερμα αυτου εις τον αιωνα.
56 And Mary abode with her about three months; and she returned to her own house.	56 Εμεινε δε η Μαριαμ μετ' αυτης ως τρεις μηνας και υπεστρεψεν εις τον οικον αυτης.
57 Now Elizabeth's full time of being delivered was come, and she brought forth a son.	57 Εις δε την Ελισαβετ συνεπληρωθη ο καιρος του να γεννηση, και εγεννησεν υιον.
58 And her neighbours and kinsfolks heard that the Lord had shewed his great mercy towards her, and they congratulated with her.	58 Και ηκουσαν οι γειτονες και οι συγγενεις αυτης οτι εμεγαλυνεν ο Κυριος το ελεος αυτου προς αυτην, και συνεχαιρον αυτην.
59 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called him by his father's name Zachary.	59 Και εν τη ογδοη ημερα, ηλθον δια να περιτεμωσι το παιδιον, και ωνομαζον αυτο κατα το ονομα του πατρος αυτου Ζαχαριαν.
60 And his mother answering, said: Not so; but he shall be called John.	60 Και αποκριθεισα η μητηρ αυτου, ειπεν? Ουχι, αλλ ' Ιωαννης θελει ονομασθη.
61 And they said to her: There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.	61 Και ειπον προς αυτην οτι ουδεις υπαρχει εν τη συγγενεια σου, οστις καλειται με το ονομα τουτο.
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.	62 Ηρωτων δε δια νευματων τον πατερα αυτου τι ονομα ηθελε να δοθη εις αυτο.
63 And demanding a writing table, he wrote, saying: John is his name. And they all wondered.	63 Και ζητησας πινακιδιον εγραψε, λεγων? Ιωαννης ειναι το ονομα αυτου? και εθαυμασαν παντες.
64 And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.	64 Ηνοιχθη δε το στομα αυτου παραυτα και η γλωσσα αυτου, και ελαλει ευλογων τον Θεον.
65 And fear came upon all their neighbours; and all these things were noised abroad over all the hill country of Judea.	65 Και επεσε φοβος επι παντας τους γειτονας αυτων, και καθ' ολην την ορεινην της Ιουδαιας διελαλουντο παντα τα πραγματα ταυτα,
66 And all they that had heard them laid them up in their heart, saying: What an one, think ye, shall this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.	66 και παντες οι ακουσαντες εβαλον αυτα εν τη καρδια αυτων, λεγοντες? Τι αρα θελει εισθαι το παιδιον τουτο; και χειρ Κυριου ητο μετ' αυτου.
67 And Zachary his father was filled with the Holy Ghost; and he prophesied, saying:	67 Και Ζαχαριας ο πατηρ αυτου επλησθη Πνευματος Αγιου και προεφητευσε, λεγων?
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people:	68 Ευλογητος Κυριος ο Θεος του Ισραηλ, διοτι επεσκεφθη και εκαμε λυτρωσιν εις τον λαον αυτου,
69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, in the house of David his servant:	69 και ανηγειρεν εις ημας κερας σωτηριας εν τω οικω Δαβιδ του δουλου αυτου,
70 As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, who are from the beginning:	70 καθως ελαλησε δια στοματος των αγιων, των απ' αιωνος προφητων αυτου,
71 Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us:	71 σωτηριαν εκ των εχθρων ημων και εκ της χειρος παντων των μισουντων ημας,
72 To perform mercy to our fathers, and to remember his holy testament,	72 δια να εκπληρωση το ελεος αυτου προς τους πατερας ημων και να ενθυμηθη την αγιαν διαθηκην αυτου,
73 The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us,	73 τον ορκον, τον οποιον ωμοσε προς Αβρααμ τον πατερα ημων, οτι θελει δωσει εις ημας
74 That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear,	74 να ελευθερωθωμεν εκ της χειρος των εχθρων ημων και να λατρευωμεν αυτον αφοβως
75 In holiness and justice before him, all our days.	75 εν οσιοτητι και δικαιοσυνη ενωπιον αυτου πασας τας ημερας της ζωης ημων.
76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways:	76 Και συ, παιδιον, προφητης του Υψιστου θελεις ονομασθη. Διοτι θελεις προπορευθη προ προσωπου του Κυριου εις το να ετοιμασης τας οδους αυτου,
77 To give knowledge of salvation to his people, unto the remission of their sins:	77 εις το να δωσης γνωσιν σωτηριας εις τον λαον αυτου δια της αφεσεως των αμαρτιων αυτων
78 Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, in which the Orient from on high hath visited us:	78 δια σπλαγχνα ελεους του Θεου ημων με τα οποια επεσκεφθη ημας ανατολη εξ υψους,
79 To enlighten them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: to direct our feet into the way of peace.	79 δια να φωτιση τους καθημενους εν σκοτει και σκια θανατου, ωστε να κατευθυνη τους ποδας ημων εις οδον ειρηνης.
80 And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit; and was in the deserts until the day of his manifestation to Israel.	80 Το δε παιδιον ηυξανε και εδυναμουτο κατα το πνευμα, και ητο εν ταις ερημοις εως της ημερας καθ' ην εμελλε να αναδειχθη προς τον Ισραηλ.
