Lucas 1

¹ Yamang marami ang nagpilit mag-ayos ng isang kasaysayan noong mga bagay na naganap sa gitna natin,

¹ Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us,

³ Ay minagaling ko naman, pagkasiyasat na lubos ng pangyayari ng lahat ng mga bagay mula nang una, na isulat sa iyong sunodsunod, kagalanggalang na Teofilo;

³ it seemed fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order, most excellent Theophilus;

⁵ Nagkaroon nang mga araw ni Herodes, hari sa Judea, ng isang saserdoteng ang ngala'y Zacarias, sa pulutong ni Abias: at ang naging asawa niya ay isa sa mga anak na babae ni Aaron, at ang kaniyang ngala'y Elisabet.

⁵ In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah; and he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

⁷ At wala silang anak, sapagka't baog si Elisabet, at sila'y kapuwa may pataw ng maraming taon.

⁷ But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.

⁹ Alinsunod sa kaugalian ng tungkuling pagkasaserdote, ay naging palad niya ang pumasok sa templo ng Panginoon at magsunog ng kamangyan.

⁹ according to the custom of the priestly office, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.

¹¹ At napakita sa kaniya ang isang anghel ng Panginoon, na nakatayo sa dakong kanan ng dambana ng kamangyan.

¹¹ And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense.

¹³ Datapuwa't sinabi sa kaniya ng anghel, Huwag kang matakot, Zacarias: sapagka't dininig ang daing mo, at ang asawa mong si Elisabet ay manganganak sa iyo ng isang anak na lalake, at tatawagin mong Juan ang kaniyang pangalan.

¹³ But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your petition has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will give him the name John.

¹⁵ Sapagka't siya'y magiging dakila sa paningin ng Panginoon, at siya'y hindi iinom ng alak ni matapang na inumin; at siya'y mapupuspos ng Espiritu Santo, mula pa sa tiyan ng kaniyang ina.

¹⁵ For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; and he will drink no wine or liquor, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit while yet in his mother’s womb.

¹⁷ At siya'y lalakad sa unahan ng kaniyang mukha na may espiritu at kapangyarihan ni Elias, upang papagbaliking-loob ang mga puso ng mga ama sa mga anak, at ang mga suwail ay magsilakad sa karunungan ng mga matuwid, upang ipaglaan ang Panginoon ng isang bayang nahahanda.

¹⁷ It is he who will go as a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers back to the children, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous, so as to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

¹⁹ At pagsagot ng anghel ay sinabi sa kaniya, Ako'y si Gabriel, na nananayo sa harapan ng Dios; at ako'y sinugo upang makipagusap sa iyo, at magdala sa iyo nitong mabubuting balita.

¹⁹ The angel answered and said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.

²¹ At hinihintay ng bayan si Zacarias, at nanganggigilalas sila sa kaniyang pagluluwat sa loob ng templo.

²¹ The people were waiting for Zacharias, and were wondering at his delay in the temple.

²³ At nangyari, na nang maganap na ang mga araw ng kaniyang paglilingkod, siya'y umuwi sa kaniyang bahay.

²³ When the days of his priestly service were ended, he went back home.

²⁵ Ganito ang ginawa ng Panginoon sa akin sa mga araw nang ako'y tingnan niya, upang alisin ang aking pagkaduwahagi sa gitna ng mga tao.

²⁵ “This is the way the Lord has dealt with me in the days when He looked with favor upon me, to take away my disgrace among men.”

²⁷ Sa isang dalagang magaasawa sa isang lalake, na ang kaniyang ngala'y Jose, sa angkan ni David; at Maria ang pangalan ng dalaga.

²⁷ to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.

²⁹ Datapuwa't siya'y totoong nagulumihanan sa sabing ito, at iniisip sa kaniyang sarili kung anong bati kaya ito.

²⁹ But she was very perplexed at this statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation this was.

³¹ At narito, maglilihi ka sa iyong tiyan, at manganganak ka ng isang lalake, at tatawagin mo ang kaniyang pangalang JESUS.

³¹ And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus.

³³ At siya'y maghahari sa angkan ni Jacob magpakailan man; at hindi magkakawakas ang kaniyang kaharian.

³³ and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end.”

³⁵ At sumagot ang anghel, at sinabi sa kaniya, Bababa sa iyo ang Espiritu Santo, at lililiman ka ng kapangyarihan ng Kataastaasan: kaya naman ang banal na bagay na ipanganganak ay tatawaging Anak ng Dios.

³⁵ The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.

³⁷ Sapagka't walang salitang mula sa Dios na di may kapangyarihan.

³⁷ For nothing will be impossible with God.”

³⁹ At nang mga araw na ito'y nagtindig si Maria, at nagmadaling napasa lupaing maburol, sa isang bayan ng Juda;

³⁹ Now at this time Mary arose and went in a hurry to the hill country, to a city of Judah,

⁴¹ At nangyari, pagkarinig ni Elisabet ng bati ni Maria, ay lumukso ang sanggol sa kaniyang tiyan; at napuspos si Elisabet ng Espiritu Santo;

⁴¹ When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

⁴³ At ano't nangyari sa akin, na ang ina ng aking Panginoon ay pumarito sa akin?

⁴³ And how has it happened to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me?

⁴⁵ At mapalad ang babaing sumampalataya; sapagka't matutupad ang mga bagay na sa kaniya'y sinabi ng Panginoon.

⁴⁵ And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what had been spoken to her by the Lord.”

⁴⁷ At nagalak ang aking espiritu sa Dios na aking Tagapagligtas.

⁴⁷ And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.

⁴⁹ Sapagka't ginawan ako ng Makapangyarihan ng mga dakilang bagay; At banal ang kaniyang pangalan.

⁴⁹ “For the Mighty One has done great things for me;And holy is His name.

⁵¹ Siya'y nagpakita ng lakas ng kaniyang bisig; Isinambulat niya ang mga palalo sa paggunamgunam ng kanilang puso.

⁵¹ “He has done mighty deeds with His arm;He has scattered those who were proud in the thoughts of their heart.

⁵³ Binusog niya ang nangagugutom ng mabubuting bagay; At pinaalis niya ang mayayaman, na walang anoman.

⁵³ “He has filled the hungry with good things;And sent away the rich empty-handed.

⁵⁵ (Gaya ng sinabi niya sa ating mga magulang) Kay Abraham at sa kaniyang binhi magpakailan man.

⁵⁵ As He spoke to our fathers,To Abraham and his descendants forever.”

⁵⁷ Naganap nga kay Elisabet ang panahon ng panganganak; at siya'y nanganak ng isang lalake.

⁵⁷ Now the time had come for Elizabeth to give birth, and she gave birth to a son.

⁵⁹ At nangyari, na nang ikawalong araw ay nagsiparoon sila upang tuliin ang sanggol; at siya'y tatawagin sana nila na Zacarias, ayon sa pangalan ng kaniyang ama.

⁵⁹ And it happened that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to call him Zacharias, after his father.

⁶¹ At sinabi nila sa kaniya, Wala sa iyong kamaganak na tinatawag sa pangalang ito.

⁶¹ And they said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by that name.”

⁶³ At humingi siya ng isang sulatan at sumulat, na sinasabi, Ang kaniyang pangalan ay Juan. At nagsipanggilalas silang lahat.

⁶³ And he asked for a tablet and wrote as follows, “His name is John.” And they were all astonished.

⁶⁵ At sinidlan ng takot ang lahat ng nagsisipanahan sa palibot nila; at nabansag ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito sa lahat ng lupaing maburol ng Judea.

⁶⁵ Fear came on all those living around them; and all these matters were being talked about in all the hill country of Judea.

⁶⁷ At si Zacarias na kaniyang ama ay napuspos ng Espiritu Santo, at nanghula, na nagsasabi,

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

⁶⁹ At nagtaas sa atin ng isang sungay ng kaligtasan Sa bahay ni David na kaniyang alipin

⁶⁹ And has raised up a horn of salvation for usIn the house of David His servant—

⁷¹ Kaligtasang mula sa ating mga kaaway, at sa kamay ng lahat ng nangapopoot sa atin;

⁷¹ Salvation from our enemies,And from the hand of all who hate us;

⁷³ Ang sumpa na isinumpa niya kay Abraham na ating ama,

⁷³ The oath which He swore to Abraham our father,

⁷⁵ Sa kabanalan at katuwiran sa harapan niya, lahat ng ating mga araw.

⁷⁵ In holiness and righteousness before Him all our days.

⁷⁷ Upang maipakilala ang kaligtasan sa kaniyang bayan, Sa pagkapatawad ng kanilang mga kasalanan,

⁷⁷ To give to His people the knowledge of salvationBy the forgiveness of their sins,

⁷⁹ Upang liwanagan ang nangakalugmok sa kadiliman at sa lilim ng kamatayan; Upang itumpak ang ating mga paa sa daan ng kapayapaan.

⁷⁹ To shine upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,To guide our feet into the way of peace.”
