Luke, 1

1. Since, indeed, many have attempted to set in order a narrative of the things that have been completed among us,

1. Kad veæ mnogi poduzeše sastaviti izvješæe o dogaðajima koji se ispuniše meðu nama -

2. just as they have been handed on to those of us who from the beginning saw the same and were ministers of the word,

2. kako nam to predadoše oni koji od poèetka bijahu oèevici i sluge Rijeèi -

3. so it seemed good to me also, having diligently followed everything from the beginning, to write to you, in an orderly manner, most excellent Theophilus,

3. pošto sam sve, od poèetka, pomno ispitao, naumih i ja tebi, vrli Teofile, sve po redu napisati

4. so that you might know the truthfulness of those words by which you have been instructed.

4. da se tako osvjedoèiš o pouzdanosti svega u èemu si pouèen.

5. There was, in the days of Herod, king of Judea, a certain priest named Zechariah, of the section of Abijah, and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

5. U dane Heroda, kralja judejskoga, bijaše neki sveæenik imenom Zaharija iz razreda Abijina. Žena mu bijaše od kæeri Aronovih, a ime joj Elizabeta.

6. Now they were both just before God, progressing in all of the commandments and the justifications of the Lord without blame.

6. Oboje bijahu pravedni pred Bogom: živjeli su besprijekorno po svim zapovijedima i odredbama Gospodnjim.

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

7. No nisu imali djeteta jer Elizabeta bijaše nerotkinja, a oboje veæ poodmakle dobi.

8. Then it happened that, when he was exercising the priesthood before God, in the order of his section,

8. Dok je Zaharija jednom po redu svoga razreda obavljao sveæenièku službu pred Bogom,

9. according to the custom of the priesthood, the lot fell so that he would offer incense, entering into the temple of the Lord.

9. ždrijebom ga zapade po bogoslužnom obièaju da uðe u Svetište Gospodnje i prinese kad.

10. And the entire multitude of the people was praying outside, at the hour of incense.

10. Za vrijeme kaðenice sve je ono mnoštvo naroda vani molilo.

11. Then there appeared to him an Angel of the Lord, standing at the right of the altar of incense.

11. A njemu se ukaza anðeo Gospodnji. Stajao je s desne strane kadionoga žrtvenika.

12. And upon seeing him, Zechariah was disturbed, and fear fell over him.

12. Ugledavši ga, Zaharija se prepade i strah ga spopade.

13. But the Angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth shall bear a son to you. And you shall call his name John.

13. No anðeo mu reèe: "Ne boj se, Zaharija! Uslišana ti je molitva: žena æe ti Elizabeta roditi sina. Nadjenut æeš mu ime Ivan.

14. And there will be joy and exultation for you, and many will rejoice in his nativity.

14. Bit æe ti radost i veselje i roðenje æe njegovo mnoge obradovati.

15. For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.

15. Bit æe doista velik pred Gospodinom. Ni vina ni drugoga opojnog piæa neæe piti. Duha Svetoga bit æe pun veæ od majèine utrobe.

16. And he will convert many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God.

16. Mnoge æe sinove Izraelove obratiti Gospodinu, Bogu njihovu.

17. And he will go before him with the spirit and power of Elijah, so that he may turn the hearts of the fathers to the sons, and the incredulous to the prudence of the just, so as to prepare for the Lord a completed people.”

17. Iæi æe pred njim u duhu i sili Ilijinoj da obrati srce otaca k sinovima i nepokorne k razumnosti pravednih te spremi Gospodinu narod pripravan."

18. And Zechariah said to the Angel: “How may I know this? For I am elderly, and my wife is advanced in years.”

18. Nato Zaharija reèe anðelu: "Po èemu æu ja to razaznati. Ta star sam i žena mi poodmakle dobi."

19. And in response, the Angel said to him: “I am Gabriel, who stands before God, and I have been sent to speak to you, and to proclaim these things to you.

19. Anðeo mu odgovori: "Ja sam Gabriel koji stojim pred Bogom. Poslan sam da govorim s tobom i da ti donesem ovu radosnu poruku.

20. And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak, until the day on which these things shall be, because you have not believed my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.”

20. I evo, buduæi da nisi povjerovao mojim rijeèima, koje æe se ispuniti u svoje vrijeme, zanijemjet æeš i neæeš moæi govoriti do dana dok se to ne zbude."

21. And the people were waiting for Zechariah. And they wondered why he was being delayed in the temple.

21. Narod je išèekivao Zahariju i èudio se što se toliko zadržao u Svetištu.

22. Then, when he came out, he was unable to speak to them. And they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he was making signs to them, but he remained mute.

22. Kad je napokon izašao, nije im mogao ništa reæi pa zakljuèiše da je u Svetištu imao viðenje. Nastojao im se doduše izraziti znakovima, ali osta nijem.

23. And it happened that, after the days of his office were completed, he went away to his house.

23. Kad se navršiše dani njegove službe, otiðe kuæi.

24. Then, after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and she hid herself for five months, saying:

24. Nakon tih dana zatrudnje Elizabeta, njegova žena. Krila se pet mjeseci govoreæi:

25. “For the Lord did this for me, at the time when he decided to take away my reproach among men.”

25. "Evo, to mi je uèinio Gospodin u dane kad mu se svidje skinuti s mene sramotu meðu ljudima."

26. Then, in the sixth month, the Angel Gabriel was sent by God, to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

26. U šestome mjesecu posla Bog anðela Gabriela u galilejski grad imenom Nazaret

27. to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.

27. k djevici zaruèenoj s mužem koji se zvao Josip iz doma Davidova; a djevica se zvala Marija.

28. And upon entering, the Angel said to her: “Hail, full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women.”

28. Anðeo uðe k njoj i reèe: "Zdravo, milosti puna! Gospodin s tobom!"

29. And when she had heard this, she was disturbed by his words, and she considered what kind of greeting this might be.

29. Na tu se rijeè ona smete i stade razmišljati kakav bi to bio pozdrav.

30. And the Angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace with God.

30. No anðeo joj reèe: "Ne boj se, Marijo! Ta našla si milost u Boga.

31. Behold, you shall conceive in your womb, and you shall bear a son, and you shall call his name: JESUS.

31. Evo, zaèet æeš i roditi sina i nadjenut æeš mu ime Isus.

32. He will be great, and he will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father. And he will reign in the house of Jacob for eternity.

32. On æe biti velik i zvat æe se Sin Svevišnjega. Njemu æe Gospodin Bog dati prijestolje Davida, oca njegova,

33. And his kingdom shall have no end.”

33. i kraljevat æe nad domom Jakovljevim uvijeke i njegovu kraljevstvu neæe biti kraja."

34. Then Mary said to the Angel, “How shall this be done, since I do not know man?”

34. Nato æe Marija anðelu: "Kako æe to biti kad ja muža ne poznajem?"

35. And in response, the Angel said to her: “The Holy Spirit will pass over you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. And because of this also, the Holy One who will be born of you shall be called the Son of God.

35. Anðeo joj odgovori: "Duh Sveti siæi æe na te i sila æe te Svevišnjega osjeniti. Zato æe to èedo i biti sveto, Sin Božji.

36. And behold, your cousin Elizabeth has herself also conceived a son, in her old age. And this is the sixth month for her who is called barren.

36. A evo tvoje roðakinje Elizabete: i ona u starosti svojoj zaèe sina. I njoj, nerotkinjom prozvanoj, ovo je veæ šesti mjesec.

37. For no word will be impossible with God.”

37. Ta Bogu ništa nije nemoguæe!"

38. Then Mary said: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me according to your word.” And the Angel departed from her.

38. Nato Marija reèe: "Evo službenice Gospodnje, neka mi bude po tvojoj rijeèi!" I anðeo otiðe od nje.

39. And in those days, Mary, rising up, traveled quickly into the hill country, to a city of Judah.

39. Tih dana usta Marija i pohiti u Gorje, u grad Judin.

40. And she entered into the house of Zechariah, and she greeted Elizabeth.

40. Uðe u Zaharijinu kuæu i pozdravi Elizabetu.

41. And it happened that, as Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

41. Èim Elizabeta zaèu Marijin pozdrav, zaigra joj èedo u utrobi. I napuni se Elizabeta Duha Svetoga

42. And she cried out with a loud voice and said: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

42. i povika iz svega glasa: "Blagoslovljena ti meðu ženama i blagoslovljen plod utrobe tvoje!

43. And how does this concern me, so that the mother of my Lord would come to me?

43. Ta otkuda meni da mi doðe majka Gospodina mojega?

44. For behold, as the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.

44. Gledaj samo! Tek što mi do ušiju doprije glas pozdrava tvojega, zaigra mi od radosti èedo u utrobi.

45. And blessed are you who believed, for the things that were spoken to you by the Lord shall be accomplished.”

45. Blažena ti što povjerova da æe se ispuniti što ti je reèeno od Gospodina!"

46. And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord.

46. Tada Marija reèe: "Velièa duša moja Gospodina,

47. And my spirit leaps for joy in God my Saviour.

47. klikæe duh moj u Bogu, mome Spasitelju,

48. For he has looked with favor on the humility of his handmaid. For behold, from this time, all generations shall call me blessed.

48. što pogleda na neznatnost službenice svoje: odsad æe me, evo, svi naraštaji zvati blaženom.

49. For he who is great has done great things for me, and holy is his name.

49. Jer velika mi djela uèini Svesilni, sveto je ime njegovo!

50. And his mercy is from generation to generations for those who fear him.

50. Od koljena do koljena dobrota je njegova nad onima što se njega boje.

51. He has accomplished powerful deeds with his arm. He has scattered the arrogant in the intentions of their heart.

51. Iskaza snagu mišice svoje, rasprši oholice umišljene.

52. He has deposed the powerful from their seat, and he has exalted the humble.

52. Silne zbaci s prijestolja, a uzvisi neznatne.

53. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.

53. Gladne napuni dobrima, a bogate otpusti prazne.

54. He has taken up his servant Israel, mindful of his mercy,

54. Prihvati Izraela, slugu svoga, kako obeæa ocima našim:

55. just as he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”

55. spomenuti se dobrote svoje prema Abrahamu i potomstvu njegovu dovijeka."

56. Then Mary stayed with her for about three months. And she returned to her own house.

56. Marija osta s Elizabetom oko tri mjeseca, a onda se vrati kuæi.

57. Now the time for Elizabeth to give birth arrived, and she brought forth a son.

57. Elizabeti se meðutim navršilo vrijeme da rodi. I porodi sina.

58. And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and so they congratulated her.

58. Kad su njezini susjedi i roðaci èuli da joj Gospodin obilno iskaza dobrotu, radovahu se s njome.

59. And it happened that, on the eighth day, they arrived to circumcise the boy, and they called him by his father’s name, Zechariah.

59. Osmoga se dana okupe da obrežu djeèaka. Htjedoše ga prozvati imenom njegova oca - Zaharija,

60. And in response, his mother said: “Not so. Instead, he shall be called John.”

60. no mati se njegova usprotivi: "Nipošto, nego zvat æe se Ivan!"

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

61. Rekoše joj na to: "Ta nikoga nema od tvoje rodbine koji bi se tako zvao."

62. Then they made signs to his father, as to what he wanted him to be called.

62. Tada znakovima upitaju oca kojim ga imenom želi prozvati.

63. And requesting a writing tablet, he wrote, saying: “His name is John.” And they all wondered.

63. On zaiska ploèicu i napisa "Ivan mu je ime!" Svi se zaèude,

64. Then, at once, his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosened, and he spoke, blessing God.

64. a njemu se umah otvoriše usta i jezik te progovori blagoslivljajuæi Boga.

65. And fear fell upon all of their neighbors. And all these words were made known throughout all the hill country of Judea.

65. Strah obuze sve njihove susjede, a po svem su se Gorju judejskom razglašavali svi ti dogaðaji.

66. And all those who heard it stored it up in their heart, saying: “What do you think this boy will be?” And indeed, the hand of the Lord was with him.

66. I koji su god èuli, razmišljahu o tome pitajuæi se: "Što li æe biti od ovoga djeteta?" Uistinu, ruka Gospodnja bijaše s njime.

67. And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit. And he prophesied, saying:

67. A Zaharija, otac njegov, napuni se Duha Svetoga i stade prorokovati: što pohodi i otkupi narod svoj!

68. “Blessed is the Lord God of Israel. For he has visited and has wrought the redemption of his people.

68.

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

69. Podiže nam snagu spasenja u domu Davida, sluge svojega,

70. just as he spoke by the mouth of his holy Prophets, who are from ages past:

70. kao što obeæa na usta svetih proroka svojih odvijeka:

71. salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all those who hate us,

71. spasiti nas od neprijatelja naših i od ruke sviju koji nas mrze;

72. to accomplish mercy with our fathers, and to call to mind his holy testament,

72. iskazati dobrotu ocima našim i sjetiti se svetog Saveza svojega,

73. the oath, which he swore to Abraham, our father, that he would grant to us,

73. zakletve kojom se zakle Abrahamu, ocu našemu: da æe nam dati

74. so that, having been freed from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear,

74. te mu, izbavljeni iz ruku neprijatelja, služimo bez straha

75. in holiness and in justice before him, throughout all our days.

75. u svetosti i pravednosti pred njim u sve dane svoje.

76. And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High. For you will go before the face of the Lord: to prepare his ways,

76. A ti, dijete, prorok æeš se Svevišnjega zvati jer æeš iæi pred Gospodinom da mu pripraviš putove,

77. to give knowledge of salvation to his people for the remission of their sins,

77. da pružiš spoznaju spasenja narodu njegovu po otpuštenju grijeha njihovih,

78. through the heart of the mercy of our God, by which, descending from on high, he has visited us,

78. darom premilosrdnog srca Boga našega po kojem æe nas pohoditi Mlado sunce s visine

79. to illuminate those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to direct our feet in the way of peace.”

79. da obasja one što sjede u tmini i sjeni smrtnoj, da upravi noge naše na put mira."

80. And the child grew, and he was strengthened in spirit. And he was in the wilderness, until the day of his manifestation to Israel.

80. Djeèak je meðutim rastao i duhom jaèao. Boravio je u pustinji sve do dana svoga javnog nastupa pred Izraelom.
