Luke

Chapter 1

1 SINCE many have desired to have in writing the story of those works, with which we are familiar,

2 According to what was handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of that very word,

3 And since these were seen by me also because I was near and considered them all very carefully, I will therefore write to you everything in its order, most honorable Theophilus,

4 So that you may know the truth of the words, by which you were made a convert.

5 There was in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, a priest whose name was Zacharias, of the order of ministry of the house of Abijah; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

6 They were both righteous before God, and walked in all his commandments, and in the righteousness of the Lord without blame.

7 But they had no son, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well on in years.

8 And it happened, while he was ministering in the order of his ministry before God,

9 According to the custom of the priesthood, his turn came to burn incense; so he entered the temple of the Lord.

10 And all the congregation of the people prayed outside, at the time of incense.

11 And the angel of the Lord appeared to Zacharias, standing on the right of the altar of incense.

12 And when Zacharias saw him he became dumbfounded, and fear came upon him.

13 And the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias; for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will call his name John.

14 And you will have joy and gladness; and a great many will rejoice at his birth.

15 For he will be great before the Lord, and he will not drink wine and strong drink; and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, while he is still in the womb of his mother.

16 And many Israelites he will cause to turn to the Lord their God.

17 And he will go before them with the spirit and the power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of parents to their children, and those who are disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous; and he will prepare a true people for the Lord.

18 And Zacharias said to the angel, How will I understand this? for I am an old man, and my wife is well on in years.

19 And the angel answered, saying to him, I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and I am sent to speak to you, and to bring you these glad tidings.

20 From henceforth you will be dumb, and not able to speak, till the day these things happen, because you did not believe these my words which are to be fulfilled in their time.

21 Now the people stood waiting for Zacharias, and wondered because he remained so long in the temple.

22 When Zacharias came out, he could not speak with them; and they understood that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them with his eyes, but remained dumb.

23 And when the days of his ministry were finished, he went to his house.

24 And it happened after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself for five months; and she said,

25 The Lord has done these things to me in the days that he has been mindful of me, to remove my reproach among men.

26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to Galilee, to a city called Nazareth,

27 To a virgin who was acquired for a price for a man named Joseph, of the house of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.

28 And the angel went in and said to her, Peace be to you, O full of grace; our Lord is with you, O blessed one among women.

29 When she saw him, she was disturbed at his word, and wondered what kind of salutation this could be.

30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary; for you have found grace with God.

31 For behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will call his name Jesus.

32 He will be great, and he will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.

33 And he will rule over the house of Jacob for ever; and there will be no limit to his kingdom.

34 Then Mary said to the angel, How can this be, for no man has known me.

35 The angel answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit will come, and the power of the Highest will rest upon you; therefore the one who is to be born of you is holy, and he will be called the Son of God.

36 And behold, Elizabeth your kinswoman has also conceived a son in her old age; and yet this is the sixth month with her, who is called barren.

37 For nothing is impossible for God.

38 Mary said, Here I am, a handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word. And the angel went away from her.

39 In those days, Mary rose up, and went hurriedly to a mountain, to a city of Judaea.

40 And she entered the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth.

41 And when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

42 And she cried in a loud voice, and said to Mary, Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

43 How does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

44 For behold, when the voice of your salutation fell on my ears, the babe in my womb leaped with great joy.

45 And blessed is she who believed; for there will be a fulfillment of the things which were spoken to her from the Lord.

46 And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,

47 And my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour.

48 For he has regarded the meekness of his handmaid; for behold, from henceforth, all generations shall envy me.

49 For he who is mighty has done great things to me; holy is his name.

50 And his mercy is for centuries and generations, upon those who fear him.

51 He has brought victory with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart.

52 He has put down the mighty from their seats, and he has lifted up the meek.

53 He has filled the hungry with good things; and dismissed the rich empty.

54 He has helped his servant Israel, and has remembered his mercy,

55 Just as he spoke with our forefathers, with Abraham, and with his seed for ever.

56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months, and then returned to her own home.

57 Now the time came for Elizabeth to be delivered, and she gave birth to a son.

58 And when her neighbors and relatives heard that God had increased his mercy to her, they rejoiced with her.

59 And it happened on the eighth day, they came to circumcise the boy; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.

60 And his mother answered and said to them, Not so; but he should be called John.

61 And they said to her, There is no man in your family, who is called by this name.

62 Then they made signs to his father, what he wanted to call him.

63 And he asked for a tablet and wrote, saying, John is his name. And every one was surprised.

64 And immediately his mouth and his tongue were opened, and he spoke and blessed God.

65 And fear came on all their neighbors; and these things were spoken throughout the mountain of Judaea.

66 And all who heard it reasoned in their hearts, saying, What a boy he will be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.

67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, and said,

68 Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel; for he has visited his people and wrought a salvation for them.

69 And he has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;

70 Just as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets who have been for ages,

71 That he would save us from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us.

72 He has shown mercy to our fathers, and he has remembered his holy covenants;

73 And the oaths which he swore to Abraham our father,

74 To grant to us, that we may be saved from the hand of our enemies, and serve before him without fear,

75 In justice and righteousness all our days.

76 And you, boy, will be called the prophet of the Highest; for you will go before the face of the Lord, to prepare his way;

77 To give knowledge of life to his people by the forgiveness of their sins,

78 Through the mercy and kindness of our God; whereby we shall be visited by a ray from above,

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.

80 The boy grew and became strong in spirit; and he was in the desert until the day of his appearance to Israel.

1 Sintemal1895 sich‘s2021 viele4183 unterwunden haben, zu1722 stellen die Rede von4012 den Geschichten4229, so unter uns2254 ergangen sind4135,

2 wie2531 uns2254 das3588 gegeben haben3860, die es von575 Anfang746 selbst gesehen845 und2532 Diener5257 des Worts3056 gewesen1096 sind:

3 habe3877 ich‘s auch2504 für gut angesehen1380, nachdem2517 ich‘s alles3956 von Anbeginn509 erkundet habe, daß ich‘s zu dir4671, mein2903 guter Theophilus2321, mit Fleiß199 ordentlich schriebe1125,

4 auf daß2443 du gewissen. Grund803 erfahrest1921 der4012 Lehre3056, in welcher3739 du unterrichtet bist2727.

5 Zu1722 der Zeit2250 Herodes, des846 Königs935 Judäas, war1096 ein5100 Priester2409 von1537 der Ordnung2183 Abia7 mit2532 Namen3686 Zacharias2197 und2532 sein846 Weib1135 von1537 den Töchtern2364 Aarons2, welche hieß3686 Elisabeth1665.

6 Sie waren2258 aber1161 alle3956 beide297 fromm1342 vor1799 GOtt2316 und2532 gingen4198 in1722 allen Geboten1785 und Satzungen1345 des HErrn2962 untadelig273.

7 Und2532 sie846 hatten2258 kein3756 Kind5043, denn2530 Elisabeth1665 war2258 unfruchtbar4723; und2532 waren2258 beide297 wohl4260 betaget.

8 Und1161 es begab1096 sich, da1722 er846 Priesteramts pflegete vor1725 GOtt2316 zur1722 Zeit seiner846 Ordnung5010

9 nach2596 Gewohnheit1485 des Priestertums2405, und an ihm war2975, daß er räuchern sollte2370, ging1525 er in1519 den Tempel3485 des HErrn2962.

10 Und2532 die ganze3956 Menge4128 des Volks2992 war2258 draußen1854 und betete4336 unter der Stunde5610 des Räucherns2368.

11 Es erschien3700 ihm aber1161 der Engel32 des846 HErrn2962 und stund zur1537 rechten1188 Hand am Räuchaltar

12 Und2532 als Zacharias2197 ihn sah1492, erschrak5015 er846, und2532 es kam1968 ihn eine Furcht5401 an1909.

13 Aber1161 der Engel32 sprach2036 zu4314 ihm846: Fürchte5399 dich4671 nicht3361, Zacharias2197; denn1360 dein4675 Gebet1162 ist2532 erhöret, und2532 dein4675 Weib1135 Elisabeth1665 wird dir einen Sohn gebären1080, des846 Namen3686 sollst du Johannes2491 heißen2564.

14 Und2532 du4671 wirst des846 Freude5479 und2532 Wonne20 haben, und2532 viele4183 werden2071 sich1909 seiner Geburt1083 freuen5463.

15 Denn1063 er wird groß3173 sein2071 vor1799 dem HErrn2962. Wein3631 und2532 stark Getränk4608 wird er nicht3364 trinken4095 und2532 er wird noch2089 im1537 Mutterleibe3384 erfüllet werden4130 mit2532 Heiligen40 Geist4151.

16 Und2532 er846 wird der Kinder von Israel2474 viele4183 zu1909 GOtt2316, ihrem HErrn2962, bekehren1994.

17 Und2532 er846 wird vor4281 ihm hergehen im1909 Geist4151 und2532 Kraft1411 des846 Elia2243, zu1722 bekehren1994 die Herzen2588 der Väter3962 zu1722 den Kindern5043 und2532 die Ungläubigen545 zu der Klugheit5428 der Gerechten1342, zuzurichten2090 dem HErrn2962 ein bereit Volk2992.

18 Und2532 Zacharias2197 sprach2036 zu4314 dem Engel32: Wobei soll1722 ich1473 das5124 erkennen1097? Denn1063 ich bin1510 alt4246, und2532 mein3450 Weib1135 ist4260 betagt.

19 Der Engel32 antwortete611 und2532 sprach zu3936 ihm846: Ich1473 bin1510 Gabriel1043, der vor1799 GOtt2316 stehet, und2532 bin gesandt649, mit2532 dir4571 zu4314 reden2036, daß ich2980 dir4671 solches5023 verkündigte2097.

20 Und2532 siehe2400, du wirst verstummen4623 und2532 nicht3361 reden2980 können bis891 auf1519 den3739 Tag, da3739 dies5023 geschehen1096 wird, darum daß du meinen3450 Worten3056 nicht3756 geglaubet hast4100, welche3748 sollen erfüllet4137 werden2071 zu1410 ihrer846 Zeit2250.

21 Und2532 das846 Volk2992 wartete4328 auf1722 Zacharias2197 und2532 verwunderte2296 sich, daß er2258 so lange im1722 Tempel3485 verzog5549.

22 Und1161 da er846 herausging1831, konnte1410 er nicht3756 mit ihnen reden2980. Und2532 sie merkten1921, daß3754 er ein Gesicht3701 gesehen hatte3708 im1722 Tempel3485. Und2532 er winkte1269 ihnen und2532 blieb2258 stumm2974.

23 Und2532 es begab1096. sich848, da5613 die Zeit2250 seines Amtes aus565 war4130, ging er heim3624 in1519 sein Haus.

24 Und1161 nach3326 den5025 Tagen2250 ward sein846 Weib1135 Elisabeth1665 schwanger4815 und2532 verbarg4032 sich1438 fünf4002 Monden und sprach3004:

25 Also3779 hat4160 mir3450 der3739 HErr2962 getan4160 in1722 den444 Tagen2250, da. er mich3427 angesehen hat1896, daß3754 er meine Schmach3681 unter1722 den Menschen von mir nähme851.

26 Und1161 im sechsten1623 Mond ward der5259 Engel32 Gabriel1043 gesandt649 von GOtt2316 in1722 eine Stadt4172 in Galiläa1056, die heißt Nazareth3478,

27 zu4314 einer Jungfrau3933, die3739 vertrauet war3423 einem Manne435 mit Namen3686 Joseph2501 vom1537 Hause3624 David1138; und2532 die Jungfrau3933 hieß3686 Maria3137.

28 Und2532 der Engel32 kam zu4314 ihr846 hinein1525 und sprach2036: Gegrüßet seiest du5463, Holdselige5487! Der HErr2962 ist mit3326 dir4675, du4771 Gebenedeiete unter1722 den Weibern1135.

29 Da sie1298 aber1161 ihn sah, erschrak sie3778 über1909 seine846 Rede3056 und2532 gedachte1260: Welch4217 ein Gruß783 ist das1492?

30 Und2532 der Engel32 sprach2036 zu1063 ihr846: Fürchte5399 dich nicht3361, Maria3137; du hast2147 Gnade5485 bei3844 GOtt2316 funden.

31 Siehe2400; du wirst schwanger4815 werden im1722 Leibe und2532 einen Sohn gebären5088, des2532 Namen3686 sollst du JEsus2424 heißen2564.

32 Der3778 wird groß3173 und2532 ein Sohn des846 Höchsten5310 genannt2564 werden2071, und2532 GOtt2316 der HErr2962 wird ihm846 den Stuhl2362 seines Vaters3962 David1138 geben1325.

33 Und2532 er846 wird ein1519 König sein936 über1909 das932 Haus3624 Jakob2384 ewiglich165, und2532 seines Königreichs wird kein3756 Ende5056 sein.

34 Da1161 sprach2036 Maria3137 zu4314 dem Engel32: Wie4459 soll2071 das5124 zugehen2071, sintemal1893 ich von1097 keinem3756 Manne435 weiß?

35 Der Engel32 antwortete611 und2532 sprach2036 zu ihr846: Der Heilige40 Geist4151 wird über1909 dich4571 kommen1904, und2532 die Kraft1411 des Höchsten5310 wird dich4671 überschatten1982; darum1352 auch2532 das Heilige40, das von1537 dir4675 geboren1080 wird, wird Gottes2316 Sohn genannt werden2564.

36 Und2532 siehe2400, Elisabeth1665, deine4675 Gefreundete, ist2076 auch schwanger4815 mit einem Sohn in1722 ihrem Alter1094 und gehet jetzt im sechsten1623 Mond, die846 im Geschrei ist, daß sie3778 unfruchtbar4723 sei2564.

37 Denn3754 bei3844 GOtt2316 ist101 kein Ding4487 unmöglich.

38 Maria3137 aber1161 sprach2036: Siehe2400, ich bin des HErrn2962 Magd1399; mir3427 geschehe1096, wie2596 du4675 gesagt hast4487. Und2532 der Engel32 schied565 von575 ihr846.

39 Maria3137 aber1161 stund auf450 in1722 den Tagen2250 und1519 ging4198 auf1519 das Gebirge3714 eilends zu3326 der5025 Stadt4172 Juda2455

40 und2532 kam1525 in1519 das Haus3624 des Zacharias2197 und2532 grüßete Elisabeth1665.

41 Und2532 es begab1096 sich, als5613 Elisabeth1665 den Gruß783 Marias3137 hörete, hüpfete das Kind1025 in1722 ihrem Leibe2836. Und2532 Elisabeth1665 ward des846 Heiligen40 Geistes4151 voll4130

42 und2532 rief400 laut3173 und2532 sprach2036: Gebenedeiet bist du4771 unter1722 den Weibern1135, und2532 gebenedeiet ist die Frucht2590 deines4675 Leibes2836.

43 Und2532 woher4159 kommt2064 mir3427 das5124, daß2443 die Mutter3384 meines HErrn2962 zu4314 mir3450 kommt?

44 Siehe2400, da5613 ich die3450 Stimme5456 deines4675 Grußes783 hörete, hüpfete mit1722 Freuden20 das1063 Kind1025 in1519 meinem3450 Leibe2836.

45 Und2532 o selig3107 bist du2980, die du geglaubet hast4100! Denn3754 es846 wird vollendet5050 werden, was dir gesagt ist2071 von3844 dem HErrn2962.

46 Und2532 Maria3137 sprach2036: Meine3450 See LE5590 erhebet den HErrn2962,

47 und2532 mein3450 Geist4151 freuet sich21 Gottes1909, meines3450 Heilandes4990.

48 Denn3754 er hat1914 die Niedrigkeit5014 seiner Magd1399 angesehen. Siehe2400, von575 nun1063 an1909 werden mich3165 selig preisen3106 alle3956 Kindeskinder1074.

49 Denn3754 er846 hat große Dinge3167 an mir3427 getan4160, der da mächtig1415 ist, und2532 des Name3686 heilig40 ist.

50 Und2532 seine846 Barmherzigkeit1656 währet immer für1074 und für1074 bei1519 denen, die ihn846 fürchten5399.

51 Er846 übet4160 Gewalt2904 mit seinem Arm1023 und zerstreuet, die hoffärtig5244 sind1287 in1722 ihres Herzens2588 Sinn1271.

52 Er stößet die Gewaltigen1413 vom575 Stuhl2362 und2532 erhebt5312 die Niedrigen5011.

53 Die Hungrigen3983 füllet er mit Gütern18 und2532 läßt1821 die Reichen4147 leer2756.

54 Er denket der Barmherzigkeit1656 und hilft482 seinem Diener3816 Israel2474 auf,

55 wie2531 er846 geredet hat2980 unsern4314 Vätern3962, Abraham11 und2532 seinem Samen4690 ewiglich1519.

56 Und1161 Maria3137 blieb3306 bei4862 ihr846 bei5616 drei5140 Monden; danach kehrete sie wiederum5290 heim1519.

57 Und1161. Elisabeth1665 kam4130 ihre Zeit5550, daß sie846 gebären5088 sollte; und2532 sie gebar1080 einen Sohn.

58 Und2532 ihre846 Nachbarn4040 und2532 Gefreundeten4773 höreten, daß3754 dar HErr2962 große Barmherzigkeit1656 an ihr846 getan hatte191, und freueten sich4796 mit3326 ihr846.

59 Und2532 es begab1096 sich, am achten3590 Tage2250 kamen2064 sie846, zu1722 beschneiden4059 das1909 Kindlein3813, und2532 hießen2564 ihn846 nach seinem Vater3962 Zacharias2197

60 Aber seine846 Mutter3384 antwortete611 und2532 sprach2036: Mitnichten3780, sondern235 er soll Johannes2491 heißen2564!

61 Und2532 sie sprachen2036 zu4314 ihr2564: Ist2076 doch niemand3762 in1722 deiner4675 Freundschaft4772, der3739 also5129 heiße3686.

62 Und1161 sie302 winkten1770 seinem Vater3962 wie er846 ihn846 wollte2309 heißen2564 lassen.

63 Und2532 er846 forderte154 ein Täfelein4093, schrieb1125 und2532 sprach3004: Er heißt Johannes2491. Und sie verwunderten2296 sich alle3956.

64 Und1161 alsbald3916 ward sein846 Mund4750 und2532 seine846 Zunge1100 aufgetan455, und2532 redete2980 und lobete GOtt2316.

65 Und2532 es846 kam eine Furcht5401 über1909 alle3956 Nachbarn und2532 diese5023 Geschichte4487 ward1096 ruchbar1255 auf1722 dem ganzen3956 jüdischen2449 Gebirge3714.

66 Und2532 alle3956, die es höreten, nahmen‘s zu1722 Herzen2588 und2532 sprachen3004: Was5101, meinest du191, will5087 aus dem Kindlein3813 werden2071? Denn686 die Hand5495 des846 HErrn2962 war2258 mit3326 ihm5124.

67 Und2532 sein Vater3962 Zacharias2197 ward des846 Heiligen40 Geistes4151 voll4130, weissagte4395 und2532 sprach3004:

68 Gelobet2128 sei der HErr2962, der GOtt2316 Israels2474; denn3754 er hat4160 besucht1980 und2532 erlöset sein Volk;

69 und2532 hat uns2254 aufgerichtet1453 ein Horn2768 des Heils4991 in1722 dem Hause3624 seines Dieners3816 David1138.

70 Als er vorzeiten geredet hat2980 durch1223 den3588 Mund4750 seiner2531 heiligen40 Propheten4396:

71 daß er uns2257 errettete4991 von1537 unsern Feinden2190 und2532 von1537 der Hand5495 aller3956, die uns hassen3404,

72 und2532 die Barmherzigkeit1656 erzeigete unsern3326 Vätern3962 und gedächte3415 an seinen heiligen40 Bund1242

73 und an den3739 Eid3727, den er geschworen hat3660 unserm Vater3962 Abraham11, uns2257 zu4314 geben,

74 daß wir2254, erlöset aus1537 der Hand5495 unserer Feinde2190, ihm846 dieneten ohne Furcht870 unser2257 Leben lang

75 in1722 Heiligkeit3742 und2532 Gerechtigkeit1343, die ihm846 gefällig ist1799.

76 Und2532 du4771, Kindlein3813, wirst ein Prophet4396 des846 Höchsten5310 heißen2564; du wirst vor4253 dem HErrn2962 hergehen, daß du seinen Weg3598 bereitest2090

77 und Erkenntnis1108 des846 Heils4991 gebest1325 seinem Volk2992, die846 da ist in1722 Vergebung859 ihrer Sünden266,

78 durch1223 die3739 herzliche4698 Barmherzigkeit1656 unsers Gottes2316, durch welche uns2257 besucht1980 hat der Aufgang395 aus1537 der Höhe5311,

79 auf1519 daß er erscheine2014 denen, die da sitzen2521 in1722 Finsternis4655 und2532 Schatten4639 des Todes2288 und richte2720 unsere2257 Füße4228 auf den Weg3598 des Friedens1515.

80 Und1161 das Kindlein3813 wuchs837 und2532 ward stark2901 im Geist4151 und2532 war2258 in1722 der Wüste2048, bis2193 daß2250 er846 sollte hervortreten323 vor4314 das Volk Israel2474.

1 Sintemal1895 sich‘s2021 viele4183 unterwunden haben, zu1722 stellen die Rede von4012 den Geschichten4229, so unter uns2254 ergangen sind4135,

2 According to what was handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of that very word,

2 wie2531 uns2254 das3588 gegeben haben3860, die es von575 Anfang746 selbst gesehen845 und2532 Diener5257 des Worts3056 gewesen1096 sind:

3 And since these were seen by me also because I was near and considered them all very carefully, I will therefore write to you everything in its order, most honorable Theophilus,

3 habe3877 ich‘s auch2504 für gut angesehen1380, nachdem2517 ich‘s alles3956 von Anbeginn509 erkundet habe, daß ich‘s zu dir4671, mein2903 guter Theophilus2321, mit Fleiß199 ordentlich schriebe1125,

4 So that you may know the truth of the words, by which you were made a convert.

4 auf daß2443 du gewissen. Grund803 erfahrest1921 der4012 Lehre3056, in welcher3739 du unterrichtet bist2727.

5 There was in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, a priest whose name was Zacharias, of the order of ministry of the house of Abijah; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

5 Zu1722 der Zeit2250 Herodes, des846 Königs935 Judäas, war1096 ein5100 Priester2409 von1537 der Ordnung2183 Abia7 mit2532 Namen3686 Zacharias2197 und2532 sein846 Weib1135 von1537 den Töchtern2364 Aarons2, welche hieß3686 Elisabeth1665.

6 They were both righteous before God, and walked in all his commandments, and in the righteousness of the Lord without blame.

6 Sie waren2258 aber1161 alle3956 beide297 fromm1342 vor1799 GOtt2316 und2532 gingen4198 in1722 allen Geboten1785 und Satzungen1345 des HErrn2962 untadelig273.

7 But they had no son, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well on in years.

7 Und2532 sie846 hatten2258 kein3756 Kind5043, denn2530 Elisabeth1665 war2258 unfruchtbar4723; und2532 waren2258 beide297 wohl4260 betaget.

8 And it happened, while he was ministering in the order of his ministry before God,

8 Und1161 es begab1096 sich, da1722 er846 Priesteramts pflegete vor1725 GOtt2316 zur1722 Zeit seiner846 Ordnung5010

9 According to the custom of the priesthood, his turn came to burn incense; so he entered the temple of the Lord.

9 nach2596 Gewohnheit1485 des Priestertums2405, und an ihm war2975, daß er räuchern sollte2370, ging1525 er in1519 den Tempel3485 des HErrn2962.

10 And all the congregation of the people prayed outside, at the time of incense.

10 Und2532 die ganze3956 Menge4128 des Volks2992 war2258 draußen1854 und betete4336 unter der Stunde5610 des Räucherns2368.

11 And the angel of the Lord appeared to Zacharias, standing on the right of the altar of incense.

11 Es erschien3700 ihm aber1161 der Engel32 des846 HErrn2962 und stund zur1537 rechten1188 Hand am Räuchaltar

12 And when Zacharias saw him he became dumbfounded, and fear came upon him.

12 Und2532 als Zacharias2197 ihn sah1492, erschrak5015 er846, und2532 es kam1968 ihn eine Furcht5401 an1909.

13 And the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias; for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will call his name John.

13 Aber1161 der Engel32 sprach2036 zu4314 ihm846: Fürchte5399 dich4671 nicht3361, Zacharias2197; denn1360 dein4675 Gebet1162 ist2532 erhöret, und2532 dein4675 Weib1135 Elisabeth1665 wird dir einen Sohn gebären1080, des846 Namen3686 sollst du Johannes2491 heißen2564.

14 And you will have joy and gladness; and a great many will rejoice at his birth.

14 Und2532 du4671 wirst des846 Freude5479 und2532 Wonne20 haben, und2532 viele4183 werden2071 sich1909 seiner Geburt1083 freuen5463.

15 For he will be great before the Lord, and he will not drink wine and strong drink; and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, while he is still in the womb of his mother.

15 Denn1063 er wird groß3173 sein2071 vor1799 dem HErrn2962. Wein3631 und2532 stark Getränk4608 wird er nicht3364 trinken4095 und2532 er wird noch2089 im1537 Mutterleibe3384 erfüllet werden4130 mit2532 Heiligen40 Geist4151.

16 And many Israelites he will cause to turn to the Lord their God.

16 Und2532 er846 wird der Kinder von Israel2474 viele4183 zu1909 GOtt2316, ihrem HErrn2962, bekehren1994.

17 And he will go before them with the spirit and the power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of parents to their children, and those who are disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous; and he will prepare a true people for the Lord.

17 Und2532 er846 wird vor4281 ihm hergehen im1909 Geist4151 und2532 Kraft1411 des846 Elia2243, zu1722 bekehren1994 die Herzen2588 der Väter3962 zu1722 den Kindern5043 und2532 die Ungläubigen545 zu der Klugheit5428 der Gerechten1342, zuzurichten2090 dem HErrn2962 ein bereit Volk2992.

18 And Zacharias said to the angel, How will I understand this? for I am an old man, and my wife is well on in years.

18 Und2532 Zacharias2197 sprach2036 zu4314 dem Engel32: Wobei soll1722 ich1473 das5124 erkennen1097? Denn1063 ich bin1510 alt4246, und2532 mein3450 Weib1135 ist4260 betagt.

19 And the angel answered, saying to him, I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and I am sent to speak to you, and to bring you these glad tidings.

19 Der Engel32 antwortete611 und2532 sprach zu3936 ihm846: Ich1473 bin1510 Gabriel1043, der vor1799 GOtt2316 stehet, und2532 bin gesandt649, mit2532 dir4571 zu4314 reden2036, daß ich2980 dir4671 solches5023 verkündigte2097.

20 From henceforth you will be dumb, and not able to speak, till the day these things happen, because you did not believe these my words which are to be fulfilled in their time.

20 Und2532 siehe2400, du wirst verstummen4623 und2532 nicht3361 reden2980 können bis891 auf1519 den3739 Tag, da3739 dies5023 geschehen1096 wird, darum daß du meinen3450 Worten3056 nicht3756 geglaubet hast4100, welche3748 sollen erfüllet4137 werden2071 zu1410 ihrer846 Zeit2250.

21 Now the people stood waiting for Zacharias, and wondered because he remained so long in the temple.

21 Und2532 das846 Volk2992 wartete4328 auf1722 Zacharias2197 und2532 verwunderte2296 sich, daß er2258 so lange im1722 Tempel3485 verzog5549.

22 When Zacharias came out, he could not speak with them; and they understood that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them with his eyes, but remained dumb.

22 Und1161 da er846 herausging1831, konnte1410 er nicht3756 mit ihnen reden2980. Und2532 sie merkten1921, daß3754 er ein Gesicht3701 gesehen hatte3708 im1722 Tempel3485. Und2532 er winkte1269 ihnen und2532 blieb2258 stumm2974.

23 And when the days of his ministry were finished, he went to his house.

23 Und2532 es begab1096. sich848, da5613 die Zeit2250 seines Amtes aus565 war4130, ging er heim3624 in1519 sein Haus.

24 And it happened after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself for five months; and she said,

24 Und1161 nach3326 den5025 Tagen2250 ward sein846 Weib1135 Elisabeth1665 schwanger4815 und2532 verbarg4032 sich1438 fünf4002 Monden und sprach3004:

25 The Lord has done these things to me in the days that he has been mindful of me, to remove my reproach among men.

25 Also3779 hat4160 mir3450 der3739 HErr2962 getan4160 in1722 den444 Tagen2250, da. er mich3427 angesehen hat1896, daß3754 er meine Schmach3681 unter1722 den Menschen von mir nähme851.

26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to Galilee, to a city called Nazareth,

26 Und1161 im sechsten1623 Mond ward der5259 Engel32 Gabriel1043 gesandt649 von GOtt2316 in1722 eine Stadt4172 in Galiläa1056, die heißt Nazareth3478,

27 To a virgin who was acquired for a price for a man named Joseph, of the house of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.

27 zu4314 einer Jungfrau3933, die3739 vertrauet war3423 einem Manne435 mit Namen3686 Joseph2501 vom1537 Hause3624 David1138; und2532 die Jungfrau3933 hieß3686 Maria3137.

28 And the angel went in and said to her, Peace be to you, O full of grace; our Lord is with you, O blessed one among women.

28 Und2532 der Engel32 kam zu4314 ihr846 hinein1525 und sprach2036: Gegrüßet seiest du5463, Holdselige5487! Der HErr2962 ist mit3326 dir4675, du4771 Gebenedeiete unter1722 den Weibern1135.

29 When she saw him, she was disturbed at his word, and wondered what kind of salutation this could be.

29 Da sie1298 aber1161 ihn sah, erschrak sie3778 über1909 seine846 Rede3056 und2532 gedachte1260: Welch4217 ein Gruß783 ist das1492?

30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary; for you have found grace with God.

30 Und2532 der Engel32 sprach2036 zu1063 ihr846: Fürchte5399 dich nicht3361, Maria3137; du hast2147 Gnade5485 bei3844 GOtt2316 funden.

31 For behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will call his name Jesus.

31 Siehe2400; du wirst schwanger4815 werden im1722 Leibe und2532 einen Sohn gebären5088, des2532 Namen3686 sollst du JEsus2424 heißen2564.

32 He will be great, and he will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.

32 Der3778 wird groß3173 und2532 ein Sohn des846 Höchsten5310 genannt2564 werden2071, und2532 GOtt2316 der HErr2962 wird ihm846 den Stuhl2362 seines Vaters3962 David1138 geben1325.

33 And he will rule over the house of Jacob for ever; and there will be no limit to his kingdom.

33 Und2532 er846 wird ein1519 König sein936 über1909 das932 Haus3624 Jakob2384 ewiglich165, und2532 seines Königreichs wird kein3756 Ende5056 sein.

34 Then Mary said to the angel, How can this be, for no man has known me.

34 Da1161 sprach2036 Maria3137 zu4314 dem Engel32: Wie4459 soll2071 das5124 zugehen2071, sintemal1893 ich von1097 keinem3756 Manne435 weiß?

35 The angel answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit will come, and the power of the Highest will rest upon you; therefore the one who is to be born of you is holy, and he will be called the Son of God.

35 Der Engel32 antwortete611 und2532 sprach2036 zu ihr846: Der Heilige40 Geist4151 wird über1909 dich4571 kommen1904, und2532 die Kraft1411 des Höchsten5310 wird dich4671 überschatten1982; darum1352 auch2532 das Heilige40, das von1537 dir4675 geboren1080 wird, wird Gottes2316 Sohn genannt werden2564.

36 And behold, Elizabeth your kinswoman has also conceived a son in her old age; and yet this is the sixth month with her, who is called barren.

36 Und2532 siehe2400, Elisabeth1665, deine4675 Gefreundete, ist2076 auch schwanger4815 mit einem Sohn in1722 ihrem Alter1094 und gehet jetzt im sechsten1623 Mond, die846 im Geschrei ist, daß sie3778 unfruchtbar4723 sei2564.

37 For nothing is impossible for God.

37 Denn3754 bei3844 GOtt2316 ist101 kein Ding4487 unmöglich.

38 Mary said, Here I am, a handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word. And the angel went away from her.

38 Maria3137 aber1161 sprach2036: Siehe2400, ich bin des HErrn2962 Magd1399; mir3427 geschehe1096, wie2596 du4675 gesagt hast4487. Und2532 der Engel32 schied565 von575 ihr846.

39 In those days, Mary rose up, and went hurriedly to a mountain, to a city of Judaea.

39 Maria3137 aber1161 stund auf450 in1722 den Tagen2250 und1519 ging4198 auf1519 das Gebirge3714 eilends zu3326 der5025 Stadt4172 Juda2455

40 And she entered the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth.

40 und2532 kam1525 in1519 das Haus3624 des Zacharias2197 und2532 grüßete Elisabeth1665.

41 And when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

41 Und2532 es begab1096 sich, als5613 Elisabeth1665 den Gruß783 Marias3137 hörete, hüpfete das Kind1025 in1722 ihrem Leibe2836. Und2532 Elisabeth1665 ward des846 Heiligen40 Geistes4151 voll4130

42 And she cried in a loud voice, and said to Mary, Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

42 und2532 rief400 laut3173 und2532 sprach2036: Gebenedeiet bist du4771 unter1722 den Weibern1135, und2532 gebenedeiet ist die Frucht2590 deines4675 Leibes2836.

43 How does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

43 Und2532 woher4159 kommt2064 mir3427 das5124, daß2443 die Mutter3384 meines HErrn2962 zu4314 mir3450 kommt?

44 For behold, when the voice of your salutation fell on my ears, the babe in my womb leaped with great joy.

44 Siehe2400, da5613 ich die3450 Stimme5456 deines4675 Grußes783 hörete, hüpfete mit1722 Freuden20 das1063 Kind1025 in1519 meinem3450 Leibe2836.

45 And blessed is she who believed; for there will be a fulfillment of the things which were spoken to her from the Lord.

45 Und2532 o selig3107 bist du2980, die du geglaubet hast4100! Denn3754 es846 wird vollendet5050 werden, was dir gesagt ist2071 von3844 dem HErrn2962.

46 And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,

46 Und2532 Maria3137 sprach2036: Meine3450 See LE5590 erhebet den HErrn2962,

47 And my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour.

47 und2532 mein3450 Geist4151 freuet sich21 Gottes1909, meines3450 Heilandes4990.

48 For he has regarded the meekness of his handmaid; for behold, from henceforth, all generations shall envy me.

48 Denn3754 er hat1914 die Niedrigkeit5014 seiner Magd1399 angesehen. Siehe2400, von575 nun1063 an1909 werden mich3165 selig preisen3106 alle3956 Kindeskinder1074.

49 For he who is mighty has done great things to me; holy is his name.

49 Denn3754 er846 hat große Dinge3167 an mir3427 getan4160, der da mächtig1415 ist, und2532 des Name3686 heilig40 ist.

50 And his mercy is for centuries and generations, upon those who fear him.

50 Und2532 seine846 Barmherzigkeit1656 währet immer für1074 und für1074 bei1519 denen, die ihn846 fürchten5399.

51 He has brought victory with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart.

51 Er846 übet4160 Gewalt2904 mit seinem Arm1023 und zerstreuet, die hoffärtig5244 sind1287 in1722 ihres Herzens2588 Sinn1271.

52 He has put down the mighty from their seats, and he has lifted up the meek.

52 Er stößet die Gewaltigen1413 vom575 Stuhl2362 und2532 erhebt5312 die Niedrigen5011.

53 He has filled the hungry with good things; and dismissed the rich empty.

53 Die Hungrigen3983 füllet er mit Gütern18 und2532 läßt1821 die Reichen4147 leer2756.

54 He has helped his servant Israel, and has remembered his mercy,

54 Er denket der Barmherzigkeit1656 und hilft482 seinem Diener3816 Israel2474 auf,

55 Just as he spoke with our forefathers, with Abraham, and with his seed for ever.

55 wie2531 er846 geredet hat2980 unsern4314 Vätern3962, Abraham11 und2532 seinem Samen4690 ewiglich1519.

56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months, and then returned to her own home.

56 Und1161 Maria3137 blieb3306 bei4862 ihr846 bei5616 drei5140 Monden; danach kehrete sie wiederum5290 heim1519.

57 Now the time came for Elizabeth to be delivered, and she gave birth to a son.

57 Und1161. Elisabeth1665 kam4130 ihre Zeit5550, daß sie846 gebären5088 sollte; und2532 sie gebar1080 einen Sohn.

58 And when her neighbors and relatives heard that God had increased his mercy to her, they rejoiced with her.

58 Und2532 ihre846 Nachbarn4040 und2532 Gefreundeten4773 höreten, daß3754 dar HErr2962 große Barmherzigkeit1656 an ihr846 getan hatte191, und freueten sich4796 mit3326 ihr846.

59 And it happened on the eighth day, they came to circumcise the boy; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.

59 Und2532 es begab1096 sich, am achten3590 Tage2250 kamen2064 sie846, zu1722 beschneiden4059 das1909 Kindlein3813, und2532 hießen2564 ihn846 nach seinem Vater3962 Zacharias2197

60 And his mother answered and said to them, Not so; but he should be called John.

60 Aber seine846 Mutter3384 antwortete611 und2532 sprach2036: Mitnichten3780, sondern235 er soll Johannes2491 heißen2564!

61 And they said to her, There is no man in your family, who is called by this name.

61 Und2532 sie sprachen2036 zu4314 ihr2564: Ist2076 doch niemand3762 in1722 deiner4675 Freundschaft4772, der3739 also5129 heiße3686.

62 Then they made signs to his father, what he wanted to call him.

62 Und1161 sie302 winkten1770 seinem Vater3962 wie er846 ihn846 wollte2309 heißen2564 lassen.

63 And he asked for a tablet and wrote, saying, John is his name. And every one was surprised.

63 Und2532 er846 forderte154 ein Täfelein4093, schrieb1125 und2532 sprach3004: Er heißt Johannes2491. Und sie verwunderten2296 sich alle3956.

64 And immediately his mouth and his tongue were opened, and he spoke and blessed God.

64 Und1161 alsbald3916 ward sein846 Mund4750 und2532 seine846 Zunge1100 aufgetan455, und2532 redete2980 und lobete GOtt2316.

65 And fear came on all their neighbors; and these things were spoken throughout the mountain of Judaea.

65 Und2532 es846 kam eine Furcht5401 über1909 alle3956 Nachbarn und2532 diese5023 Geschichte4487 ward1096 ruchbar1255 auf1722 dem ganzen3956 jüdischen2449 Gebirge3714.

66 And all who heard it reasoned in their hearts, saying, What a boy he will be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.

66 Und2532 alle3956, die es höreten, nahmen‘s zu1722 Herzen2588 und2532 sprachen3004: Was5101, meinest du191, will5087 aus dem Kindlein3813 werden2071? Denn686 die Hand5495 des846 HErrn2962 war2258 mit3326 ihm5124.

67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, and said,

67 Und2532 sein Vater3962 Zacharias2197 ward des846 Heiligen40 Geistes4151 voll4130, weissagte4395 und2532 sprach3004:

68 Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel; for he has visited his people and wrought a salvation for them.

68 Gelobet2128 sei der HErr2962, der GOtt2316 Israels2474; denn3754 er hat4160 besucht1980 und2532 erlöset sein Volk;

69 And he has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;

69 und2532 hat uns2254 aufgerichtet1453 ein Horn2768 des Heils4991 in1722 dem Hause3624 seines Dieners3816 David1138.

70 Just as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets who have been for ages,

70 Als er vorzeiten geredet hat2980 durch1223 den3588 Mund4750 seiner2531 heiligen40 Propheten4396:

71 That he would save us from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us.

71 daß er uns2257 errettete4991 von1537 unsern Feinden2190 und2532 von1537 der Hand5495 aller3956, die uns hassen3404,

72 He has shown mercy to our fathers, and he has remembered his holy covenants;

72 und2532 die Barmherzigkeit1656 erzeigete unsern3326 Vätern3962 und gedächte3415 an seinen heiligen40 Bund1242

73 And the oaths which he swore to Abraham our father,

73 und an den3739 Eid3727, den er geschworen hat3660 unserm Vater3962 Abraham11, uns2257 zu4314 geben,

74 To grant to us, that we may be saved from the hand of our enemies, and serve before him without fear,

74 daß wir2254, erlöset aus1537 der Hand5495 unserer Feinde2190, ihm846 dieneten ohne Furcht870 unser2257 Leben lang

75 In justice and righteousness all our days.

75 in1722 Heiligkeit3742 und2532 Gerechtigkeit1343, die ihm846 gefällig ist1799.

76 And you, boy, will be called the prophet of the Highest; for you will go before the face of the Lord, to prepare his way;

76 Und2532 du4771, Kindlein3813, wirst ein Prophet4396 des846 Höchsten5310 heißen2564; du wirst vor4253 dem HErrn2962 hergehen, daß du seinen Weg3598 bereitest2090

77 To give knowledge of life to his people by the forgiveness of their sins,

77 und Erkenntnis1108 des846 Heils4991 gebest1325 seinem Volk2992, die846 da ist in1722 Vergebung859 ihrer Sünden266,

78 Through the mercy and kindness of our God; whereby we shall be visited by a ray from above,

78 durch1223 die3739 herzliche4698 Barmherzigkeit1656 unsers Gottes2316, durch welche uns2257 besucht1980 hat der Aufgang395 aus1537 der Höhe5311,

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 auf1519 daß er erscheine2014 denen, die da sitzen2521 in1722 Finsternis4655 und2532 Schatten4639 des Todes2288 und richte2720 unsere2257 Füße4228 auf den Weg3598 des Friedens1515.

80 The boy grew and became strong in spirit; and he was in the desert until the day of his appearance to Israel.

80 Und1161 das Kindlein3813 wuchs837 und2532 ward stark2901 im Geist4151 und2532 war2258 in1722 der Wüste2048, bis2193 daß2250 er846 sollte hervortreten323 vor4314 das Volk Israel2474.
