| 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. | The Birth of John the Baptist Foretold Lk.1.5-25 (Jerusalem) | Ἐγένετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἡρῴδου βασιλέως τῆς Ἰουδαίας ἱερεύς τις ὀνόματι Ζαχαρίας ἐξ ἐφημερίας Ἀβιά, καὶ γυνὴ αὐτῷ ἐκ τῶν θυγατέρων Ἀαρών, καὶ τὸ ὀνομα αὐτῆς Ἐλισάβετ. |
| 6 | And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. | ἦσαν δὲ δίκαιοι ἀμφότεροι ἐναντίον τοῦ θεοῦ, πορευόμενοι ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἐντολαῖς καὶ δικαιώμασιν τοῦ κυρίου ἀμεμπτοι. | |
| 7 | But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years. | καὶ οὐκ ἦν αὐτοῖς τέκνον, καθότι ἦν ἡ Ἐλισάβετ στεῖρα, καὶ ἀμφότεροι προβεβηκότες ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτῶν ἦσαν. | |
| 8 | Now while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty, | Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἱερατεύειν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ τάξει τῆς ἐφημερίας αὐτοῦ ἐναντι τοῦ θεοῦ, | |
| 9 | according to the custom of the priesthood, it fell to him by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense. | κατὰ τὸ ἐθος τῆς ἱερατείας ἐλαχε τοῦ θυμιᾶσαι εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὸν ναὸν τοῦ κυρίου, | |
| 10 | And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense. | καὶ πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος ἦν τοῦ λαοῦ προσευχόμενον ἐξω τῇ ὡρᾳ τοῦ θυμιάματος· | |
| 11 | And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. | ὠφθη δὲ αὐτῷ ἀγγελος κυρίου ἑστὼς ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τοῦ θυμιάματος. | |
| 12 | And Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. | καὶ ἐταράχθη Ζαχαρίας ἰδών, καὶ φόβος ἐπέπεσεν ἐπ' αὐτόν. | |
| 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. | εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ ἀγγελος, Μὴ φοβοῦ, Ζαχαρία, διότι εἰσηκούσθη ἡ δέησίς σου, καὶ ἡ γυνή σου Ἐλισάβετ γεννήσει υἱόν σοι, καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὀνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰωάννην. | |
| 14 | And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth; | καὶ ἐσται χαρά σοι καὶ ἀγαλλίασις, καὶ πολλοὶ ἐπὶ τῇ γενέσει αὐτοῦ χαρήσονται· | |
| 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. | ἐσται γὰρ μέγας ἐνώπιον τοῦ κυρίου, καὶ οἶνον καὶ σίκερα οὐ μὴ πίῃ, καὶ πνεύματος ἀγίου πλησθήσεται ἐτι ἐκ κοιλίας μητρὸς αὐτοῦ, | |
| 16 | And he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God, | καὶ πολλοὺς τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἐπιστρέψει ἐπὶ κύριον τὸν θεὸν αὐτῶν. | |
| 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." | - to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children Lk.1.17 | Mal.4.5-6 | Sir.48.10 | καὶ αὐτὸς προελεύσεται ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ἐν πνεύματι καὶ δυνάμει Ἠλίου, ἐπιστρέψαι καρδίας πατέρων ἐπὶ τέκνα καὶ ἀπειθεῖς ἐν φρονήσει δικαίων, ἑτοιμάσαι κυρίῳ λαὸν κατεσκευασμ ένον. |
| 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." | Καὶ εἶπεν Ζαχαρίας πρὸς τὸν ἀγγελον, Κατὰ τί γνώσομαι τοῦτὸ ἐγὼ γάρ εἰμι πρεσβύτης καὶ ἡ γυνή μου προβεβηκυῖα ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτῆς. | |
| 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. | καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ἀγγελος εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Ἐγώ εἰμι Γαβριὴλ ὁ παρεστηκὼς ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ ἀπεστάλην λαλῆσαι πρὸς σὲ καὶ εὐαγγελίσασθαί σοι ταῦτα· | |
| 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." | καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐσῃ σιωπῶν καὶ μὴ δυνάμενος λαλῆσαι ἀχρι ἧς ἡμέρας γένηται ταῦτα, ἀνθ' ὧν οὐκ ἐπίστευσας τοῖς λόγοις μου, οἱτινες πληρωθήσονται εἰς τὸν καιρὸν αὐτῶν. | |
| 21 | And the people were waiting for Zechariah, and they wondered at his delay in the temple. | Καὶ ἦν ὁ λαὸς προσδοκῶν τὸν Ζαχαρίαν, καὶ ἐθαύμαζον ἐν τῷ χρονίζειν ἐν τῷ ναῷ αὐτόν. | |
| 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. | ἐξελθὼν δὲ οὐκ ἐδύνατο λαλῆσαι αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐπέγνωσαν ὅτι ὀπτασίαν ἑώρακεν ἐν τῷ ναῷ· καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν διανεύων αὐτοῖς, καὶ διέμενεν κωφός. | |
| 23 | And when his time of service was ended, he went to his home. | καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐπλήσθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τῆς λειτουργίας αὐτοῦ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ. | |
| 24 | After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she hid herself, saying, | Μετὰ δὲ ταύτας τὰς ἡμέρας συνέλαβεν Ἐλισάβετ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ· καὶ περιέκρυβεν ἑαυτὴν μῆνας πέντε, λέγουσα | |
| 25 | "Thus the Lord has done to me in the days when he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men." | ὁτι Οὑτως μοι πεποίηκεν κύριος ἐν ἡμέραις αἷς ἐπεῖδεν ἀφελεῖν ὀνειδός μου ἐν ἀνθρώποις. | |
