PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Como saben, muchos otros han tratado de escribir las cosas que se han cumplido y de las cuales somos partícipes.
1 Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
1 Ἐπειδήπερ πολλοὶ ἐπεχείρησαν ἀνατάξασθαι διήγησιν περὶ τῶν πεπληροφορημένων ἐν ἡμῖν πραγμάτων
2 Ellos fundamentaron sus relatos en la evidencia de los primeros testigos presenciales y ministros de la Palabra,
2 even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
2 καθὼς παρέδοσαν ἡμῖν οἱ ἀπ᾽ ἀρχῆς αὐτόπται καὶ ὑπηρέται γενόμενοι τοῦ λόγου,
3 y entonces yo también decidí que como he seguido estas cosas muy cuidadosamente desde el principio, sería una buena idea escribir un relato fiel de todo lo que había ocurrido.
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;
3 ἔδοξε κἀμοί, παρηκολουθηκότι ἄνωθεν πᾶσιν ἀκριβῶς, καθεξῆς σοι γράψαι, κράτιστε Θεόφιλε,
4 He hecho esto, querido Teófilo para que puedas estar seguro de que las cosas que se te enseñaron son completamente fiables.
4 that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
4 ἵνα ἐπιγνῷς περὶ ὧν κατηχήθης λόγων τὴν ἀσφάλειαν.
5 Durante la época cuando Herodes era rey de Judea, había un sacerdote llamado Zacarías, que venía de la división sacerdotal de Abijah. Él estaba casado con Isabel, quien era descendiente del sacerdote Aarón.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the priestly division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
5 Ἐγένετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἡρῴδου τοῦ βασιλέως τῆς Ἰουδαίας ἱερεύς τις ὀνόματι Ζαχαρίας ἐξ ἐφημερίας Ἀβιά, καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῶν θυγατέρων Ἀαρών, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς Ἐλισάβετ.
6 Ambos hacían lo que era recto delante de Dios, y eran cuidadosos en seguir los mandamientos del Señor y las normas.
6 They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
6 ἦσαν δὲ δίκαιοι ἀμφότεροι ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ, πορευόμενοι ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἐντολαῖς καὶ δικαιώμασι τοῦ Κυρίου ἄμεμπτοι.
7 Ellos no tenían hijos porque Isabel no podía concebir, y ya estaban envejeciendo.
7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
7 καὶ οὐκ ἦν αὐτοῖς τέκνον, καθότι ἡ Ἐλισάβετ ἦν στεῖρα, καὶ ἀμφότεροι προβεβηκότες ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτῶν ἦσαν.
8 Mientras Zacarías servía como sacerdote ante Dios, a nombre de su división sacerdotal,
8 Now while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his division
8 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἱερατεύειν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ τάξει τῆς ἐφημερίας αὐτοῦ ἔναντι τοῦ Θεοῦ,
9 fue elegido por suerte conforme a la costumbre de los sacerdotes, para entrar al Templo del Señor y quemar el incienso.
9 according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
9 κατὰ τὸ ἔθος τῆς ἱερατείας ἔλαχε τοῦ θυμιᾶσαι εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὸν ναὸν τοῦ Κυρίου·
10 Durante el momento en que se ofrendaba el incienso, había una gran multitud orando afuera.
10 The whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
10 καὶ πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος ἦν τοῦ λαοῦ προσευχόμενον ἔξω τῇ ὥρᾳ τοῦ θυμιάματος.
11 Entonces un ángel del Señor se le apareció a Zacarías, y se puso en pie a la derecha del altar del incienso.
11 An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
11 ὤφθη δὲ αὐτῷ ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἑστὼς ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τοῦ θυμιάματος.
12 Cuando Zacarías vio al ángel, se asustó.
12 Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
12 καὶ ἐταράχθη Ζαχαρίας ἰδών, καὶ φόβος ἐπέπεσεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν.
13 Pero el ángel le dijo: “No tengas miedo, Zacarías. Tu oración ha sido escuchada, y tu esposa Isabel concebirá de ti un hijo, y le llamarás Juan.
13 But the angel said to him, “Don’t be afraid, Zacharias, because your request has been heard. Your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
13 εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ ἄγγελος· μὴ φοβοῦ, Ζαχαρία· διότι εἰσηκούσθη ἡ δέησίς σου, καὶ ἡ γυνή σου Ἐλισάβετ γεννήσει υἱόν σοι, καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰωάννην·
14 Él te traerá gozo y alegría, y muchos celebrarán su nacimiento.
14 You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.
14 καὶ ἔσται χαρά σοι καὶ ἀγαλλίασις, καὶ πολλοὶ ἐπὶ τῇ γεννήσει αὐτοῦ χαρήσονται.
15 Él será grande a la vista del Señor. Se negará a beber vino o cualquier otra bebida alcohólica. Estará lleno del Espíritu Santo incluso antes de nacer.
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 Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.
15 ἔσται γὰρ μέγας ἐνώπιον τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ οἶνον καὶ σίκερα οὐ μὴ πίῃ, καὶ Πνεύματος Ἁγίου πλησθήσεται ἔτι ἐκ κοιλίας μητρὸς αὐτοῦ,
16 Convertirá a muchos israelitas nuevamente al Señor su Dios.
16 He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.
16 καὶ πολλοὺς τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἐπιστρέψει ἐπὶ Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν αὐτῶν·
17 Irá delante del Señor en el espíritu y el poder de Elías, para convertir los corazones de los padres a sus hijos nuevamente, y convertir a los rebeldes hacia un entendimiento recto, para preparar a un pueblo que esté listo para el Señor.
17 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 prepare a people prepared for the Lord.”
17 καὶ αὐτὸς προελεύσεται ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ἐν πνεύματι καὶ δυνάμει Ἠλιού, ἐπιστρέψαι καρδίας πατέρων ἐπὶ τέκνα καὶ ἀπειθεῖς ἐν φρονήσει δικαίων, ἑτοιμάσαι Κυρίῳ λαὸν κατεσκευασμένον.
18 “¿Cómo puedo estar seguro de esto?” le preguntó Zacarías al ángel. “Soy un hombre viejo, y mi esposa también está envejeciendo”.
18 Zacharias 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.”
18 καὶ εἶπε Ζαχαρίας πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον· κατὰ τί γνώσομαι τοῦτο; ἐγὼ γάρ εἰμι πρεσβύτης καὶ ἡ γυνή μου προβεβηκυῖα ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτῆς.
19 “Yo soy Gabriel”, respondió el ángel. “Yo estoy en la presencia de Dios, y fui enviado para hablarte y entregarte esta buena noticia.
19 The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.
19 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ἄγγελος εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἐγώ εἰμι Γαβριὴλ ὁ παρεστηκὼς ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ἀπεστάλην λαλῆσαι πρός σε καὶ εὐαγγελίσασθαί σοι ταῦτα.
20 Pero como no creíste lo que te dije, te quedarás mudo, sin poder hablar, hasta el momento indicado, cuando mis palabras se cumplan”.
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.”
20 καὶ ἰδοὺ ἔσῃ σιωπῶν καὶ μὴ δυνάμενος λαλῆσαι ἄχρι ἧς ἡμέρας γένηται ταῦτα, ἀνθ᾽ ὧν οὐκ ἐπίστευσας τοῖς λόγοις μου, οἵτινες πληρωθήσονται εἰς τὸν καιρὸν αὐτῶν.
21 Afuera el pueblo estaba esperando a Zacarías, preguntándose por qué estaba demorando tanto en el Templo.
21 The people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marveled that he delayed in the temple.
21 καὶ ἦν ὁ λαὸς προσδοκῶν τὸν Ζαχαρίαν, καὶ ἐθαύμαζον ἐν τῷ χρονίζειν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ ναῷ.
22 Cuando finalmente salió, no pudo hablarles. Y ellos se dieron cuenta de que había tenido una visión en el Templo, pues aunque podía hacer señas, estaba completamente mudo.
22 When he came out, he could not speak to them. They perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.
22 ἐξελθὼν δὲ οὐκ ἠδύνατο λαλῆσαι αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐπέγνωσαν ὅτι ὀπτασίαν ἑώρακεν ἐν τῷ ναῷ· καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν διανεύων αὐτοῖς, καὶ διέμενε κωφός.
23 Después que hubo terminado su turno de servicio, regresó a casa.
23 When the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
23 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐπλήσθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τῆς λειτουργίας αὐτοῦ, ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
24 Poco tiempo después, su esposa Isabel quedó embarazada. Y se quedó en casa por cinco meses.
24 After these days Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,
24 Μετὰ δὲ ταύτας τὰς ἡμέρας συνέλαβεν Ἐλισάβετ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ περιέκρυβεν ἑαυτὴν μῆνας πέντε,
25 “El Señor ha hecho esto en mi favor”, dijo ella, “ahora que ha quitado la desgracia que tenía ante los ojos de los demás”.
25 “Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my reproach among men.”
25 λέγουσα ὅτι οὕτω μοι πεποίηκεν ὁ Κύριος ἐν ἡμέραις αἷς ἐπεῖδεν ἀφελεῖν τὸ ὄνειδός μου ἐν ἀνθρώποις.
26 Al sexto mes de su embarazo, Dios envió al ángel Gabriel a una joven llamada María, que vivía en la ciudad de Nazaret, en Galilea.
26 Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
26 Ἐν δὲ τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἕκτῳ ἀπεστάλη ὁ ἄγγελος Γαβριὴλ ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς πόλιν τῆς Γαλιλαίας, ᾗ ὄνομα Ναζαρέτ,
27 Ella estaba comprometida en matrimonio con un hombre llamado José.
27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of David’s house. The virgin’s name was Mary.
27 πρὸς παρθένον μεμνηστευμένην ἀνδρί, ᾧ ὄνομα Ἰωσήφ, ἐξ οἴκου Δαυΐδ, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς παρθένου Μαριάμ.
28 El ángel la saludó. “Eres privilegiada en gran manera”, le dijo. “El Señor está contigo”.
28 Having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, you highly favored one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!”
28 καὶ εἰσελθὼν ὁ ἄγγελος πρὸς αὐτὴν εἶπε· χαῖρε, κεχαριτωμένη· ὁ Κύριος μετὰ σοῦ· εὐλογημένη σὺ ἐν γυναιξίν.
29 María estaba muy confundida por lo que él le dijo, y se preguntaba cuál era el significado de ese saludo.
29 But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be.
29 ἡ δὲ ἰδοῦσα διεταράχθη ἐπὶ τῷ λόγῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ διελογίζετο ποταπὸς εἴη ὁ ἀσπασμὸς οὗτος.
30 “No te preocupes, María”, siguió diciendo el ángel, “pues Dios te ha mostrado su gracia.
30 The angel said to her, “Don’t be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
30 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος αὐτῇ· μὴ φοβοῦ, Μαριάμ· εὗρες γὰρ χάριν παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ.
31 Quedarás embarazada y tendras un hijo. Lo llamarás Jesús.
31 Behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and shall name him ‘Jesus.’
31 καὶ ἰδοὺ συλλήψῃ ἐν γαστρὶ καὶ τέξῃ υἱόν, καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν.
32 Él será muy grande, y será llamado el Hijo del Altísimo. El Señor le dará el trono de David su padre,
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 οὗτος ἔσται μέγας καὶ υἱὸς ὑψίστου κληθήσεται, καὶ δώσει αὐτῷ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τὸν θρόνον Δαυῒδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ,
33 y reinará sobre la casa de Jacob para siempre. Su reino nunca tendrá fin”.
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom.”
33 καὶ βασιλεύσει ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ἰακὼβ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, καὶ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔσται τέλος.
34 “¿Cómo es esto posible?” preguntó María. “Aún soy virgen”.
34 Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?”
34 εἶπε δὲ Μαριὰμ πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον· πῶς ἔσται μοι τοῦτο, ἐπεὶ ἄνδρα οὐ γινώσκω;
35 “El Espíritu Santo vendrá sobre ti, y el poder del Altísimo te cubrirá. El bebé que va a nacer es santo, y será llamado el Hijo de Dios.
35 The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born from you will be called the Son of God.
35 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ἄγγελος εἶπεν αὐτῇ· Πνεῦμα Ἅγιον ἐπελεύσεται ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ δύναμις ὑψίστου ἐπισκιάσει σοι· διὸ καὶ τὸ γεννώμενον ἅγιον κληθήσεται υἱὸς Θεοῦ.
36 E Isabel, tu pariente, aún a su avanzada edad, está embarazada también. La mujer de quien el pueblo decía que no podía tener hijos, ya tiene seis meses de embarazo.
36 Behold, Elizabeth your relative also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
36 καὶ ἰδοὺ Ἐλισάβετ ἡ συγγενής σου καὶ αὐτὴ συνειληφυῖα υἱὸν ἐν γήρει αὐτῆς, καὶ οὗτος μὴν ἕκτος ἐστὶν αὐτῇ τῇ καλουμένῃ στείρᾳ·
37 Nada es imposible para Dios”.
37 For nothing spoken by God is impossible.”
37 ὅτι οὐκ ἀδυνατήσει παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ πᾶν ῥῆμα.
38 “Aquí estoy, lista para ser la sierva del Señor”, dijo María. “Que suceda conmigo tal como dijiste”. Entonces el ángel se fue.
38 Mary said, “Behold, the servant of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.
38 εἶπε δὲ Μαριάμ· ἰδοὺ ἡ δούλη Κυρίου· γένοιτό μοι κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου. καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς ὁ ἄγγελος.
39 Poco después, María se alistó y se apresuró a las montañas de Judea, a la ciudad donde
39 Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,
39 Ἀναστᾶσα δὲ Μαριὰμ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταύταις ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν ὀρεινὴν μετὰ σπουδῆς εἰς πόλιν Ἰούδα,
40 estaba la casa de Zacarías. Al entrar llamó a Isabel.
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.
40 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ζαχαρίου καὶ ἠσπάσατο τὴν Ἐλισάβετ.
41 Y tan pronto como Isabel escuchó la voz de María, el bebé saltó de alegría dentro de ella. Isabel estaba llena del Espíritu Santo,
41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
41 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν ἡ Ἐλισάβετ τὸν ἀσπασμὸν τῆς Μαρίας, ἐσκίρτησε τὸ βρέφος ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ αὐτῆς· καὶ ἐπλήσθη Πνεύματος Ἁγίου ἡ Ἐλισάβετ
42 y gritó con voz muy fuerte: “¡Cuán bendita eres entre las mujeres, y cuán bendito será el hijo que nacerá de ti!
42 She called out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
42 καὶ ἀνεφώνησε φωνῇ μεγάλῃ καὶ εἶπεν· εὐλογημένη σὺ ἐν γυναιξὶ καὶ εὐλογημένος ὁ καρπὸς τῆς κοιλίας σου.
43 ¿Por qué soy tan honrada en recibir la visita de la madre de mi Señor?
43 Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
43 καὶ πόθεν μοι τοῦτο ἵνα ἔλθῃ ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ Κυρίου μου πρός με;
44 Tan pronto como escuché que me llamabas, saludándome, mi bebé saltó de alegría dentro de mí.
44 For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy!
44 ἰδοὺ γὰρ ὡς ἐγένετο ἡ φωνὴ τοῦ ἀσπασμοῦ σου εἰς τὰ ὦτά μου, ἐσκίρτησε τὸ βρέφος ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ μου.
45 ¡Cuán afortunada eres, porque estás segura de que el Señor hará lo que te ha prometido!”
45 Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!”
45 καὶ μακαρία ἡ πιστεύσασα ὅτι ἔσται τελείωσις τοῖς λελαλημένοις αὐτῇ παρὰ Κυρίου.
46 María respondió: “¡Cuánto alabo al Señor!
46 Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord.
46 Καὶ εἶπε Μαριάμ· Μεγαλύνει ἡ ψυχή μου τὸν Κύριον
47 Estoy tan feliz con Dios, mi Salvador,
47 My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,
47 καὶ ἠγαλλίασε τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐπὶ τῷ Θεῷ τῷ σωτῆρί μου,
48 porque decidió que yo, su sierva, fuera digna de su consideración, a pesar de mi humilde procedencia. De ahora en adelante todas las generaciones dirán que fui bendecida.
48 for he has looked at the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.
48 ὅτι ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ τὴν ταπείνωσιν τῆς δούλης αὐτοῦ. ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν μακαριοῦσί με πᾶσαι αἱ γενεαί·
49 El Dios Altísimo ha hecho grandes cosas por mí; su nombre es santo.
49 For he who is mighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name.
49 ὅτι ἐποίησέ μοι μεγαλεῖα ὁ δυνατὸς καὶ ἅγιον τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ,
50 Su misericordia dura de generación en generación para aquellos que lo respetan.
50 His mercy is for generations and generations on those who fear him.
50 καὶ τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ εἰς γενεὰς γενεῶν τοῖς φοβουμένοις αὐτόν.
51 Con su poder él ha destruido en pedazos a quienes con arrogancia piensan que son muy sabios.
51 He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
51 Ἐποίησε κράτος ἐν βραχίονι αὐτοῦ, διεσκόρπισεν ὑπερηφάνους διανοίᾳ καρδίας αὐτῶν·
52 Él derriba a los poderosos de sus tronos, y exalta a los humildes.
52 He has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted the lowly.
52 καθεῖλε δυνάστας ἀπὸ θρόνων καὶ ὕψωσε ταπεινούς,
53 Él llena a los hambrientos con cosas buenas para comer, y echa a los ricos con las manos vacías.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.
53 πεινῶντας ἐνέπλησεν ἀγαθῶν καὶ πλουτοῦντας ἐξαπέστειλε κενούς.
54 Él ha ayudado a su siervo Israel, acordándose de él con misericordia,
54 He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
54 ἀντελάβετο Ἰσραὴλ παιδὸς αὐτοῦ μνησθῆναι ἐλέους,
55 tal como se lo prometió a nuestros padres, a Abraham y sus descendientes para siempre”.
55 as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his offspring forever.”
55 καθὼς ἐλάλησε πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν, τῷ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
56 Y María se quedó con Isabel durante tres meses y luego regresó a su casa.
56 Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.
56 Ἔμεινε δὲ Μαριὰμ σὺν αὐτῇ ὡσεὶ μῆνας τρεῖς καὶ ὑπέστρεψεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτῆς.
57 Llegó el momento en que Isabel tendría su bebé, y tuvo un hijo.
57 Now the time that Elizabeth should give birth was fulfilled, and she gave birth to a son.
57 Τῇ δὲ Ἐλισάβετ ἐπλήσθη ὁ χρόνος τοῦ τεκεῖν αὐτήν, καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱόν.
58 Sus vecinos y parientes oyeron cómo el Señor le había mostrado gran bondad, y celebraron con ella.
58 Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her.
58 καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ περίοικοι καὶ οἱ συγγενεῖς αὐτῆς ὅτι ἐμεγάλυνε Κύριος τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ μετ᾽ αὐτῆς, καὶ συνέχαιρον αὐτῇ.
59 Ocho días después, vinieron para circuncidar al niño. Y planeaban llamarlo Zacarías, como su padre.
59 On the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
59 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ ὀγδόῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἦλθον περιτεμεῖν τὸ παιδίον, καὶ ἐκάλουν αὐτὸ ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ζαχαρίαν.
60 “No”, dijo Isabel. “Será llamado Juan”.
60 His mother answered, “Not so; but he will be called John.”
60 καὶ ἀποκριθεῖσα ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ εἶπεν· οὐχί, ἀλλὰ κληθήσεται Ἰωάννης.
61 “Pero no hay ninguno entre tus parientes que tenga este nombre”, le dijeron.
61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”
61 καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτὴν ὅτι οὐδείς ἐστιν ἐν τῇ συγγενείᾳ σου ὃς καλεῖται τῷ ὀνόματι τούτῳ·
62 Entonces le preguntaron por señas a Zacarías, el padre del niño, cómo quería llamar a su hijo.
62 They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
62 ἐνένευον δὲ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ τὸ τί ἂν θέλοι καλεῖσθαι αὐτόν.
63 Entonces Zacarías buscó algo sobre lo cual escribir. Para sorpresa de todos, escribió: “Su nombre es Juan”.
63 He asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, “His name is John.” They all marveled.
63 καὶ αἰτήσας πινακίδιον ἔγραψε λέγων· Ἰωάννης ἐστὶ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐθαύμασαν πάντες.
64 E inmediatamente pudo hablar de nuevo, y comenzó a alabar a Dios.
64 His mouth was opened immediately and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.
64 ἀνεῴχθη δὲ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ παραχρῆμα καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλάλει εὐλογῶν τὸν Θεόν.
65 Todos los que vivían cerca estaba maravillados por lo que había sucedido, y se esparció la noticia por toda Judea.
65 Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.
65 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ πάντας φόβος τοὺς περιοικοῦντας αὐτούς, καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ ὀρεινῇ τῆς Ἰουδαίας διελαλεῖτο πάντα τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα,
66 Y todos los que oían la noticia se preguntaban lo que esto significaba. “¿Qué será ese niño cuando crezca?” preguntaban ellos, pues estaba claro que el niño era especial para Dios.
66 All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, “What then will this child be?” The hand of the Lord was with him.
66 καὶ ἔθεντο πάντες οἱ ἀκούσαντες ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν λέγοντες· τί ἄρα τὸ παιδίον τοῦτο ἔσται; καὶ χεὶρ Κυρίου ἦν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ.
67 Zacarías, su padre, lleno del Espíritu Santo, dijo esta profecía:
67 His father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
67 Καὶ Ζαχαρίας ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἐπλήσθη Πνεύματος Ἁγίου καὶ προεφήτευσε λέγων·
68 “El Señor, Dios de Israel, es maravilloso, pues ha venido a su pueblo y lo ha libertado.
68 “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people;
68 Εὐλογητὸς Κύριος, ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι ἐπεσκέψατο καὶ ἐποίησε λύτρωσιν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ,
69 Nos ha dado un gran Salvador del linaje de su siervo David,
69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
69 καὶ ἤγειρε κέρας σωτηρίας ἡμῖν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Δαυῒδ τοῦ παιδὸς αὐτοῦ,
70 como lo prometió por sus santos profetas hace mucho tiempo.
70 (as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets who have been from of old),
70 καθὼς ἐλάλησε διὰ στόματος τῶν ἁγίων, τῶν ἀπ᾽ αἰῶνος προφητῶν αὐτοῦ,
71 Él prometió salvarnos de nuestros enemigos, de quienes nos odian.
71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us;
71 σωτηρίαν ἐξ ἐχθρῶν ἡμῶν καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς πάντων τῶν μισούντων ἡμᾶς,
72 Él fue misericordioso con nuestros padres, recordando su santo acuerdo,
72 to show mercy toward our fathers, to remember his holy covenant,
72 ποιῆσαι ἔλεος μετὰ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν καὶ μνησθῆναι διαθήκης ἁγίας αὐτοῦ,
73 la promesa que le hizo a nuestro padre Abrahám
73 the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
73 ὅρκον ὃν ὤμοσε πρὸς Ἀβραὰμ τὸν πατέρα ἡμῶν, τοῦ δοῦναι ἡμῖν
74 Él nos libera del temor y nos rescata de nuestros enemigos,
74 to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, should serve him without fear,
74 ἀφόβως, ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν ἐχθρῶν ἡμῶν ῥυσθέντας, λατρεύειν αὐτῷ
75 para que podamos servirle haciendo lo que es bueno y recto durante toda nuestra vida.
75 in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life.
75 ἐν ὁσιότητι καὶ δικαιοσύνῃ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς ἡμῶν.
76 Aunque eres solamente un niño pequeño, serás llamado el profeta del Altísimo, porque tu irás delante del Señor para preparar su camino,
76 And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,
76 Καὶ σύ, παιδίον, προφήτης ὑψίστου κληθήσῃ· προπορεύσῃ γὰρ πρὸ προσώπου Κυρίου ἑτοιμάσαι ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ,
77 dando conocimiento de la salvación a su pueblo mediante el perdón de sus pecados.
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the remission of their sins,
77 τοῦ δοῦναι γνῶσιν σωτηρίας τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ, ἐν ἀφέσει ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν
78 Por la bondad solícita de Dios con nosotros, el amanecer del cielo vendrá sobre nosotros
78 because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the dawn from on high will visit us,
78 διὰ σπλάγχνα ἐλέους Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, ἐν οἷς ἐπεσκέψατο ἡμᾶς ἀνατολὴ ἐξ ὕψους
79 para resplandecer sobre aquellos que viven en la oscuridad y bajo la sombra de muerte, y para guiarnos por el sendero de la paz”.
79 to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
79 ἐπιφᾶναι τοῖς ἐν σκότει καὶ σκιᾷ θανάτου καθημένοις, τοῦ κατευθῦναι τοὺς πόδας ἡμῶν εἰς ὁδὸν εἰρήνης.
