皮亚菲罗大人啊,有好些人提笔作书,述说在我们中间所成就的事,是照传道的人从起初亲眼看见又传给我们的。

Lord Theophilus, many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the events that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.

这些事我既从起头都详细考察了,就定义要按着次序写给你,使你知道所学之道都是确实的。

I have meticulously examined these matters from the beginning, so I have decided to write them to you in order, so that you may know the teachings you have learned are certain.

当犹太王西律的时候,雅比亚班里有一个祭祀,

During the time of King Herod the Jew, there was a priest named Zacharias in the division of Abijah.

名叫撒加利亚,他妻子是亚伦的后人,名叫伊丽莎伯。

His name was Zechariah, and his wife, descended from Aaron, was named Elizabeth.

他们二人在神面前都是义人,遵行主的一切诫命礼仪,没有可指责的,只是没有孩子,因为伊丽莎伯不生育,两个人又年纪老迈了。

Both of them were righteous before God, observing all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blamelessly, but they had no children because Elizabeth was barren, and both were well advanced in years.

撒加利亚按班次在神面前供祭祀的职份,照祭祀的规矩致签,得尽主殿烧香。

Zacharias served as a priest before God in his division, following the regulations for the priestly service, and was chosen to burn incense in the temple of the Lord.

烧香的时候,众百姓在外面祷告。

When incense is burned, the people pray outside.

有主的使者站在香坛的右边向他显现,撒加利亚看见,却惊慌害怕。

The angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the incense altar; when Zechariah saw him, he was startled and afraid.

天使对他说,撒加利亚不要害怕,因为你的祈祷已经被听见了。

The angel said to him, "Zachariah, do not be afraid, for your prayer has been heard."

你的妻子伊丽莎伯要给你生一个儿子,你要给他起名叫约翰。

Your wife Elizabeth is going to have a son, and you are to name him John.

你必欢喜快乐,有许多人因他出世。

You will be glad and joyful, for many will be born because of him.

他在主面前将要伟大,淡酒浓酒都不喝,从母妇里就被圣灵充满了。

He will be great in the sight of the Lord; he shall drink neither wine nor strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother's womb.

他要使许多以色列人回转,归于主他们的神。

He will turn many of the Israelites back to the Lord their God.

他必由伊丽莎的心智能力行在主的前面,叫为父的心转向儿女,叫悖逆的人转从义人的智慧,又为主预备合用的百姓。

He will go before the Lord 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 righteous, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

撒加利亚对天使说,

Zacharias said to the angel,

我凭着什么可知道这事呢?

How can I know about this matter?

我已经老了,我的妻子也年纪老迈了。

I am old, and my wife is also aging.

天使回答说,

The angel replied,

我是站在神面前的加百列,奉差而来对你说话,将这好信息报给你。

I am Gabriel, standing before God, sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.

到了时候,这话必然应验。

When the time comes, these words will surely be fulfilled.

只因你不信,你闭哑吧,不能说话,直到这是成就的日子。

Just because you do not believe, you will be mute and unable to speak until the day this is fulfilled.

百姓等候撒加利亚,

The common people are waiting for Zechariah.

差异他许久在殿里。

He has been in the hall for a long time.

急至他出来,不能和他们说话,他们就知道他在殿里见了异象,因为他只向他们打手势,竟成了哑巴。

He hurried out, unable to speak to them. They knew he had seen a vision in the temple because he could only gesture to them, effectively rendering him mute.

他公职的日子已满,就回家去了。

His term in public office has ended, so he went home.

这些日子以后,他的妻子伊丽莎伯怀了孕,就隐藏了五个月,说,

After these days, his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and hid for five months, saying,

主在眷顾我的日子,这样看待我。

The Lord is watching over me in this way.

要把我在人间的羞耻除掉。

I want to remove the shame I have in the world.

到了第六个月,天使加百列奉神的差遣往加利利的一座城去,这城名叫拿萨勒,到一个童女那里,是已经许配大卫家的一个人,名叫约瑟,童女的名字叫玛利亚。

In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man named Joseph, of the house of David; the virgin's name was Mary.

天使进去,对她说:"蒙大恩的女子,我问你安,主和你同在了。

The angel went in and said to her, "Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you."

玛利亚因这话就很惊慌,又反复思想这样问安是什么意思。

Mary was greatly troubled by his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.

天使对她说,"玛利亚,不要怕,你在神面前已经蒙恩了。

The angel said to her, "Mary, do not be afraid, for you have found favor with God."

你要怀孕生子,可以给他起名叫耶稣。

If you want to get pregnant and have a child, you can name him Jesus.

他要伟大,成为至高者的儿子。

He wants to be great, to become the son of the Most High.

主神要把他做大卫的位给他。

The Lord wants to give him the position of David.

他要做雅各家的王,直到永远。

He will be the king of Jacob's family forever.

他的国也没有穷尽。

His country is also not exhausted.

玛利亚对天使说,"我没有出价,怎么有这事呢?"

Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am not engaged?"

天使回答说,"圣灵要灵到你身上,至高者的能力要应辟你。

The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you."

因此,所要生的圣者必称为神的儿子。

Therefore, the one to be born will be called the Son of God.

况且,你的亲戚伊丽莎伯,在年老的时候也怀了男胎,就是那素来称为不生育的。

Moreover, your relative Elizabeth also conceived a son in her old age, despite being known to be barren.

现在有孕六个。

I am currently six months pregnant.

因为,出于神的话,没有一句不带能力的。

For, from the word of God, there is not a single word without power.

玛利亚说,"我是主的使女,情愿照你的话成就在我身上。

Mary said, "I am the Lord's servant, may your word to me be fulfilled."

天使就离开她去了。

The angel left her.

那时候,玛利亚起身,急忙往山地里去,来到犹大的一座城,进了撒加利亚的家,问伊丽莎伯安。

At that time, Mary got up and hurried to the hill country, to a town in Judah, and entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.

伊丽莎伯一听玛利亚问安。

When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting.

怀的胎就在腹里跳动。

The baby in the womb is kicking.

伊丽莎伯且被圣灵充满,高声喊着说,"你在妇女中是有福的。

Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, exclaimed in a loud voice, "Blessed are you among women."

你所怀的胎也是有福的。

The child you are carrying is also blessed.

我主的母到我这里来,这是从哪里得的呢?

Where did my Lord's mother come to me from?

因为你问安的声音一入我耳,我腹里的胎就欢喜跳动。

When the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb joyfully stirred.

这相信的女子是有福的,因为主对她所说的话都要应验。

Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her.

玛利亚说,"我心尊主为大,我灵以神我的救主为乐。

Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior."

因为她顾念她使女的卑微,从今以后,万代要称我有福。

For she has regarded the lowly state of her maidservant; from now on all generations will call me blessed.

那有权能的为我成就了大事,她的名为圣。

For the One who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name.

她怜悯敬畏她的人,直到世世代代。

She has compassion and reverence for her people, forever and ever.

她用绑臂施展大能,那狂傲的人正心里妄想,就被她赶散了。

She used her bound arms to unleash great power, and that arrogant person, who was lost in their own thoughts, was driven away by her.

她叫有权柄的施畏,叫卑贱的升高,叫饥饿的得饱美食,叫富足的空手回去。

She calls the powerful to be fearful, raises the lowly, satisfies the hungry with good things, and sends the rich away empty-handed.

她辅助了她的仆人以色列,为要纪念亚伯拉罕和他的后裔,施怜命直到永远。

She assisted her servant Israel, to remember Abraham and his descendants, showing mercy forever.

正如从前对我们列祖所说的话。

Just as was said to our forefathers before.

玛利亚和伊丽莎伯同住,约有三个月,就回家去了。

Mary stayed with Elisabeth for about three months, and then returned home.

伊丽莎伯和伊丽莎伯同住,约有三个月,就回家去了。

Elizabeth stayed with Elizabeth for about three months before returning home.

伊丽莎伯的产期到了,就生了一个儿子。

Elizabeth's time came to give birth, and she bore a son.

邻里亲族听见主向他大施怜悯,就和他一同欢乐。

The neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown him great mercy, so they rejoiced with him.

到了第八日,他们来要给孩子行割礼,并要照他父亲的名字叫他撒加利亚。

On the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him Zechariah after his father.

他母亲说,不可,要叫他约翰。

His mother said no, he must be called John.

他们说,你亲族中没有叫这名字的。

They said that no one in your family has that name.

他们就向他父亲打手势。

They gestured to his father.

他母亲问他,要叫这孩子什么名字。

His mother asked him what name he wanted to give this child.

他要了一块写字的板,就写上说,他的名字是约翰。

He asked for a writing board and wrote that his name is John.

他们便都稀奇。

They were all curious.

撒加利亚的口立时开了,舌头也舒展了,就说出话来,称颂神。

Zechariah's mouth was opened at once, and his tongue was freed, and he spoke, praising God.

周围居住的人都惧怕,这一切的事就传遍了犹太的山地。

The people living around were all afraid, and all these things spread throughout the hill country of Judea.

凡听见的人都将这事放在心里,说,这个孩子将来怎么样呢?

Everyone who heard this wondered about it, saying, "What will this child become?"

因为有主与他同在。

Because the Lord is with him.

他父亲撒加利亚被圣灵充满了,就预言说,主以色列的神是应当称颂的,因他眷顾他的百姓,为他们施行救赎。

His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying, "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people."

在他仆人大卫家中,为我们兴起了拯救的脚。

He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David.

正如主借着从创世以来圣先知的口所说的话,拯救我们脱离仇敌和一切恨我们之人的手,向我们列祖师怜悯,纪念他的圣约,就是他对我们祖宗亚伯拉罕所起的誓,叫我们既从仇敌手中被救出来,就可以终身在他面前,坦然无惧地用圣洁公义侍奉他。

Just as the Lord spoke through the mouth of His holy prophets since the world began, to save us from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us, to show mercy to our fathers and to remember His holy covenant, the oath which He swore to our father Abraham, that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him all our days.

孩子啊,你要成为至高者之后。

Child, you must become the supreme one afterward.

成为至高者的先知,因为你要行在主的前面,预备他的道路,教他的百姓因罪得赦,就知道救恩。

Become the prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to prepare His ways, to give His people knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins.

因我们神怜悯的心肠,叫清晨的日光从高天灵到我们,要照亮坐在黑暗中死印里的人,把我们的脚引到平安的路上。

Because of the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

那孩子渐渐长大,心灵强健,住在旷野。

The child gradually grew up, strong in spirit, living in the wilderness.

直到他显明在意,

Until he makes it clear that he cares.

在以色列人面前的日子。

In the days before the Israelites.
