1Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a narration of the things that have been accomplished among us;
1Kalz o vezañ kemeret ar garg da skrivañ istor an traoù c'hoarvezet, hag anavezet mat evit bezañ gwir en hon touez,
2According as they have delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word:
2hervez m'o deus degaset deomp ar re o deus o gwelet adalek ar penn-kentañ, hag a zo bet ministred ar Ger,
3It seemed good to me also, having diligently attained to all things from the beginning, to write to thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
3kredet em eus ivez, Teofil mat-meurbet, e tleen o skrivañ dit dre urzh, goude bezañ graet un enklask pizh warno holl, gant evezh,
4That thou mayest know the verity of those words in which thou hast been instructed.
4evit ma'c'h anavezi ar wirionez diwar-benn ar pezh a zo bet desket dit.
5There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zachary, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.
5En amzer Herodez, roue Judea, e oa ur beleg anvet Zakaria, eus lignez Abia; e wreg a oa eus lignez Aaron, hag en em c'halve Elizabed.
6And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and justifications of the Lord without blame.
6Reizh e oant o-daou dirak an Aotrou, hag e heulient holl gourc'hemennoù hag urzhioù an Aotrou, en un doare divlam.
7And they had no son, for that Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
7N'o devoa ket a vugale, rak Elizabed a oa gaonac'h, hag o-daou, e oant aet war an oad.
8And it came to pass, when he executed the priestly function in the order of his course before God,
8Erruout a reas, evel ma rae Zakaria e garg a veleg dirak Doue, hervez urzh e dro,
9According to the custom of the priestly office, it was his lot to offer incense, going into the temple of the Lord.
9ma voe galvet dre ar sord, hervez giz ar velegiezh, da vont e-barzh templ an Aotrou, evit deviñ an ezañs.
10And all the multitude of the people was praying without, at the hour of incense.
10An holl bobl a oa er-maez o pediñ, d'an eur ma teved an ezañs.
11And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the alter of incense.
11Neuze un ael eus an Aotrou en em ziskouezas dezhañ en e sav, en tu dehou da aoter an ezañs.
12And Zachary seeing him, was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
12Zakaria, o welout anezhañ, a voe trubuilhet, hag ar spont a grogas ennañ.
13But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachary, for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John:
13Met an ael a lavaras dezhañ: Zakaria, na'z pez ket aon, rak da bedenn a zo bet selaouet, Elizabed a c'hano dit ur mab, hag e roi dezhañ an anv a Yann.
14And thou shalt have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice in his nativity.
14Bez' e vo evidout un abeg a joa hag a laouenidigezh, ha kalz en em laouenaio eus e c'hanedigezh.
15For he shall be great before the Lord; and shall drink no wine nor strong drink: and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.
15Rak bras e vo dirak an Aotrou; n'evo na gwin, nag evaj kreñv ebet, ha leuniet e vo eus ar Spered-Santel adalek kof e vamm;
16And he shall convert many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.
16distreiñ a raio kalz eus bugale Israel d'an Aotrou o Doue,
17And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias; that he may turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and the incredulous to the wisdom of the just, to prepare unto the Lord a perfect people.
17hag e valeo dirazañ e spered hag e nerzh Elia, evit treiñ kalonoù an tadoù ouzh ar vugale, hag ar re disentus ouzh furnez ar re reizh, evit aozañ d'an Aotrou ur bobl tuet mat.
18And Zachary said to the angel: Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.
18Zakaria a lavaras d'an ael: A betra ec'h anavezin kement-se? Rak me a zo kozh, ha va gwreg a zo aet war an oad?
19And the angel answering, said to him: I am Gabriel, who stand before God: and am sent to speak to thee, and to bring thee these good tidings.
19An ael a respontas dezhañ: Me eo Gabriel, an hini a chom dirak Doue; degaset on bet evit komz ouzhit ha disklêriañ dit ar c'heloù mat-mañ.
20And behold, thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be able to speak until the day wherein these things shall come to pass, because thou hast not believed my words, which shall be fulfilled in their time.
20Ha setu, te a ya da vezañ mut, ha ne c'helli ken komz, betek an deiz ma c'hoarvezo an traoù-mañ, abalamour ne'c'h eus ket kredet da'm c'homzoù, hag a erruo en o amzer.
21And the people were waiting for Zachary; and they wondered that he tarried so long in the temple.
21Koulskoude, ar bobl a c'hortoze Zakaria, hag a oa souezhet ma talee en templ.
22And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they understood that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he made signs to them, and remained dumb.
22Pa voe deuet er-maez, ne c'helle ket komz outo, hag ec'h anavezjont en devoa bet ur welidigezh en templ, rak dre sinoù en roe da gompren dezho; hag e chomas mut.
23And it came to pass, after the days of his office were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
23Pa voe echuet deizioù e garg, ez eas d'e di.
24And after those days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying:
24Un nebeut amzer goude, Elizabed, e wreg, en em gavas dougerez, hag en em guzhas e-pad pemp miz, o lavarout:
25Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he hath had regard to take away my reproach among men.
25Evel-se eo, en deus graet an Aotrou em c'heñver en deizioù-mañ, m'en deus sellet ouzhin, evit lemel an dismegañs a oa warnon dirak an dud.
26And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
26Er c'hwec'hvet miz, Doue a gasas an ael Gabriel en ur gêr a C'halilea galvet Nazared,
27To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
27d'ur werc'hez a zlee dimeziñ d'un den anvet Jozef, eus tiegezh David; ar werc'hez-se a oa anvet Mari.
28And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
28An ael, o vezañ aet el lec'h ma oa, a lavaras dezhi: Da saludiñ a ran, te a zo bet resevet en gras, an Aotrou a zo ganit. [Benniget out e-touez ar gwragez.]
29Who having heard, was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be.
29O vezañ gwelet an ael, e voe trubuilhet gant e gomzoù, hag e soñje enni ec'h-unan petra a c'helle ar salud-se bezañ.
30And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.
30Neuze an ael a lavaras dezhi: Mari, na'z pez ket aon, rak kavet ec'h eus gras dirak Doue.
31Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
31Setu, te a vo dougerez, hag e c'hani ur mab, hag e c'halvi e anv Jezuz.
32He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever.
32Bras e vo, hag e vo galvet mab an Uhelañ-Meurbet, hag an Aotrou Doue a roio dezhañ tron David e dad.
33And of his kingdom there shall be no end.
33Ren a raio da virviken war diegezh Jakob, hag e ren n'en devo ken a fin.
34And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?
34Neuze Mari a lavaras d'an ael: Penaos e c'hoarvezo kement-se, pa n'anavezan gwaz ebet?
35And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
35An ael a respontas dezhi: Ar Spered-Santel a zeuio warnout, ha galloud an Uhelañ-Meurbet a c'holoio ac'hanout gant e skeud; dre-se ar bugel santel a vo ganet ac'hanout a vo galvet Mab Doue.
36And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren:
36Ha setu, Elizabed da geniterv a zoug ivez ur mab en he c'hozhni, hag hemañ eo ar c'hwec'hvet miz eus an hini a oa galvet gaonac'h.
37Because no word shall be impossible with God.
37Rak n'eus netra dibosupl da Zoue.
38And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
38Ha Mari a lavaras: Setu servijerez an Aotrou, ra vo graet din hervez da gomz. Hag an ael a bellaas diouti.
39And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.
39Neuze Mari a savas, hag a yeas buan da vro ar menezioù, en ur gêr eus Bro-Juda,
40And she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted Elizabeth.
40hag, o vezañ aet e ti Zakaria, e saludas Elizabed.
41And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
41Kerkent ha ma klevas Elizabed Salud Mari, ar bugel bihan a dridas en he c'hof; hag Elizabed a voe leuniet eus ar Spered-Santel.
42And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
42Hag o sevel he mouezh, e krias: Te a zo benniget e-touez ar gwragez, ha benniget eo frouezh da gof.
43And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
43A-belec'h e teu kement-mañ din, ma teu mamm va Aotrou etrezek ennon?
44For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
44Rak mouezh da salud n'he deus ket kentoc'h skoet va divskouarn, m'en deus ar bugel bihan tridet gant levenez em c'hof.
45And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.
45Eürus eo an hini he deus kredet, rak graet e vo an traoù a zo bet lavaret dezhi a-berzh an Aotrou.
46And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.
46Neuze Mari a lavaras: Va ene a veul an Aotrou,
47And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
47ha va spered en em laouena e Doue va Salver,
48Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
48abalamour m'en deus sellet ouzh izelded e servijerez. Ha setu, diwar vremañ, e vin galvet eürus gant an holl rummadoù,
49Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name.
49rak an Holl-C'halloudek en deus graet traoù bras din; e anv a zo santel,
50And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.
50hag e drugarez en em astenn a oad en oad war ar re a zouj anezhañ.
51He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
51Diskouezet en deus nerzh e vrec'h; stlabezet en deus ar soñjezonoù a rae ar re lorc'hus en o c'halon.
52He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble.
52Didronet en deus ar re c'halloudek, ha savet en deus ar re vihan.
53He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
53Leuniet en deus a vadoù a re o devoa naon, ha kaset en deus kuit ar re binvidik er goullo.
54He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy:
54Sikouret en deus Israel e servijer, o kaout soñj eus e drugarez,
55As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever.
55evel m'en devoa e lavaret d'hon tadoù, da Abraham ha d'e lignez da viken.
56And Mary abode with her about three months; and she returned to her own house.
56Mari a chomas gant Elizabed war-dro tri miz; neuze e tistroas d'he zi.
57Now Elizabeth’s full time of being delivered was come, and she brought forth a son.
57Neuze, amzer Elizabed o vezañ deuet, e c'hanas ur mab.
58And her neighbours and kinsfolks heard that the Lord had shewed his great mercy towards her, and they congratulated with her.
58He amezeien hag he c'herent, o vezañ anavezet penaos en devoa an Aotrou diskouezet e drugarez en he c'heñver, en em laouenajont ganti.
59And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called him by his father’s name Zachary.
59O vezañ deuet an eizhvet deiz evit amdroc'hañ ar bugel, e c'halvjont anezhañ Zakaria, eus anv e dad.
60And his mother answering, said: Not so; but he shall be called John.
60Met e vamm, o kemer ar gomz, a lavaras: Nann, met Yann e vo galvet.
61And they said to her: There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
61Hag e lavarjont dezhi: N'eus den ez kerentiezh hag a zo galvet eus an anv-se.
62And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
62Neuze e c'houlennjont dre sin ouzh e dad penaos e felle dezhañ e vije galvet.
63And demanding a writing table, he wrote, saying: John is his name. And they all wondered.
63Zakaria, o vezañ goulennet taolennoùigoù, a skrivas ar gerioù-mañ: Yann eo e anv. Hag an holl a voe souezhet.
64And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.
64Kerkent e c'henou a zigoras, e deod a ziereas, hag e komze en ur veuliñ Doue.
65And fear came upon all their neighbours; and all these things were noised abroad over all the hill country of Judea.
65O holl amezeien a voe leuniet a spont, hag an holl draoù-mañ en em vrude dre holl venezioù Judea.
66And all they that had heard them laid them up in their heart, saying: What an one, think ye, shall this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.
66An holl re o c'hleve, o mire en o c'halon, hag e lavarent: Petra eta e vo ar bugel bihan-se? Ha dorn an Aotrou a oa warnañ.
67And Zachary his father was filled with the Holy Ghost; and he prophesied, saying:
67Neuze Zakaria e dad a voe leuniet eus ar Spered-Santel, hag e tiouganas, o lavarout:
68Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people:
68Benniget ra vo an Aotrou, Doue Israel, dre ma'z eo deuet da welout ha da zasprenañ e bobl,
69And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, in the house of David his servant:
69hag abalamour m'en deus savet deomp ur Salver Galloudek e tiegezh David e servijer,
70As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, who are from the beginning:
70evel m'en devoa lavaret dre c'henou e brofeded santel, abaoe penn-kentañ ar bed,
71Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us:
71dre m'en deus hor saveteet a zaouarn hon enebourien, hag eus dorn an holl re a gasae ac'hanomp,
72To perform mercy to our fathers, and to remember his holy testament,
72evit ober trugarez e-keñver hon tadoù, o kaout soñj eus e emglev santel,
73The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us,
73eus al le en devoa graet da Abraham hon tad,
74That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear,
74penaos, o vezañ hon tennet eus dorn hon enebourien, e roje deomp da servijañ anezhañ hep aon,
75In holiness and justice before him, all our days.
75er santelezh hag er reizhder dirazañ e-pad holl deizioù hor buhez.
76And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways:
76Ha te, bugel bihan, ta a vo galvet profed an Uhelañ-Meurbet; rak te a gerzho dirak dremm an Aotrou, evit kempenn e hentoù,
77To give knowledge of salvation to his people, unto the remission of their sins:
77evit reiñ anaoudegezh ar silvidigezh d'e bobl dre pardon eus o fec'hedoù,
78Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, in which the Orient from on high hath visited us:
78dre garantez trugarezus hon Doue; drezi, ar sav-heol eus an nec'h en deus hor gwelet,
79To enlighten them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: to direct our feet into the way of peace.
79evit sklêrijennañ ar re a zo azezet en deñvalijenn hag e skeud ar marv, hag evit ren hor c'hammedoù e hent ar peoc'h.
80And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit; and was in the deserts until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
80Ar bugel bihan a greske hag en em greñvae er spered; hag e chomas el lec'hioù distro betek an deiz ma tlee bezañ diskouezet da Israel.
