Vangelo secondo Luca - Luke 1

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