HNV

1 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,
1 Because many have undertaken to draw up a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.
2 even as they delivered them to us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word,
3 With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,
3 it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus;
4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
4 that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
5 In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Yehudah, a certain Kohen named Zekharyah, of the priestly division of Aviyah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aharon, and her name was Elisheva.
6 Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly.
6 They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the mitzvot and ordinances of the Lord.
7 But they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive, and they were both very old.
7 But they had no child, because Elisheva was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
8 Once when Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,
8 Now it happened, while he executed the Kohen's office before God in the order of his division,
9 he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
9 according to the custom of the Kohen's office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10 And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside.
10 The whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
11 An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear.
12 Zekharyah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell on him.
13 But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.
13 But the angel said to him, "Don't be afraid, Zekharyah, because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elisheva, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name Yochanan.
14 He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth,
14 You will have joy and gladness; and many will rejoice at his birth.
15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born.
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Ruach HaKodesh, even from his mother's womb.
16 He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God.
16 He will turn many of the children of Yisra'el to the Lord, their God.
17 And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
17 He will go before his face in the spirit and power of Eliyah, 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
18 Zechariah asked the angel, “How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.”
18 Zekharyah said to the angel, "How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years."
19 The angel said to him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news.
19 The angel answered him, "I am Gavri'el, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news.
20 And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.”
20 Behold, you will be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things will happen, because you didn't believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time."
21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple.
21 The people were waiting for Zekharyah, and they marveled while he delayed in the temple.
22 When he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized he had seen a vision in the temple, for he kept making signs to them but remained unable to speak.
22 When he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.
23 When his time of service was completed, he returned home.
23 It happened, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
24 After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion.
24 After these days Elisheva, his wife, conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,
25 “The Lord has done this for me,” she said. “In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.”
25 "Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my reproach among men."
26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee,
26 Now in the sixth month, the angel Gavri'el was sent from God to a city of the Galil, named Natzeret,
27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.
27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Yosef, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Miryam.
28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
28 Having come in to her, the angel said, "Rejoice, you highly favored one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!"
29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
29 But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be.
30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God.
30 The angel said to her, "Don't be afraid, Miryam, for you have found favor with God.
31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.
31 Behold, you will conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and will call his name 'Yeshua.'
32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,
32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of Ha`Elyon. The Lord God will give to him the throne of his father, David,
33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”
33 and he will reign over the house of Ya`akov forever. There will be no end of his kingdom."
34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
34 Miryam said to the angel, "How will this be, seeing I am a virgin?"
35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.
35 The angel answered her, "The Ruach HaKodesh will come on you, and the power of Ha`Elyon will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born from you will be called the Son of God.
36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month.
36 Behold, Elisheva, your relative, also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
37 For no word from God will ever fail.”
37 For no word from God will be void of power."
38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.
38 Miryam said, "Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word." The angel departed from her.
39 At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea,
39 Miryam arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Yehudah,
40 where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth.
40 and entered into the house of Zekharyah and greeted Elisheva.
41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
41 It happened, when Elisheva heard Miryam's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elisheva was filled with the Ruach HaKodesh.
42 In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear!
42 She called out with a loud voice, and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
43 But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
43 Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
44 For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy!
45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
45 Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!"
46 And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord
46 Miryam said, "My soul magnifies the Lord.
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
47 My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,
48 for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed,
48 For he has looked at the humble state of his handmaid. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.
49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name.

50 His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation.
50 His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear him.
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
51 He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart.
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble.
52 He has put down princes from their thrones. And has exalted the lowly.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.

54 He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful
54 He has given help to Yisra'el, his servant, that he might remember mercy,

55 As he spoke to our fathers, Toward Avraham and his seed forever."
56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
56 Miryam stayed with her about three months, and returned to her house.
57 When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son.
