路加福音 1
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
序言（参(A)
1 尊敬的提阿非罗先生，因为有许多人，已经把在我们中间成就了的事， 2 按照起初亲眼看见的传道人所传给我们的，编着成书； 3 我已经把这些事从头考查过，认为也应该按着次序写给你， 4 让你晓得所学到的道理，都是确实的。
天使预言施洗约翰出生
5 犹太王希律在位的日子，亚比雅班里有一个祭司，名叫撒迦利亚，他妻子是亚伦的后代，名叫以利沙伯。 6 他们在 神面前都是义人，遵行主的一切诫命规条，无可指摘， 7 只是没有孩子，因为以利沙伯不生育，二人又都上了年纪。
8 有一次，撒迦利亚在 神面前按着班次执行祭司的职务， 9 照祭司的惯例抽中了签，进入主的圣殿烧香。 10 烧香的时候，众人都在外面祈祷。 11 有主的使者站在香坛右边，向他显现。 12 撒迦利亚一见就惊慌起来，十分害怕。 13 天使说：“撒迦利亚，不要怕，因为你的祈求已蒙垂听，你妻子以利沙伯要给你生一个儿子，你要给他起名叫约翰。 14 你必欢喜快乐，许多人因他出生，也必喜乐。 15 他在主面前要被尊为大，淡酒浓酒都不喝，未出母腹就被圣灵充满。 16 他要使许多以色列人转向主他们的 神。 17 他必有以利亚的灵和能力，行在主的前面，叫父亲的心转向儿女，叫悖逆的转向义人的意念，为主安排那预备好了的人民。” 18 撒迦利亚对天使说：“我怎么能知道这事呢？我已经老了，我妻子也上了年纪。” 19 天使回答：“我是站在 神面前的加百列，奉差遣向你说话，报给你这好消息。 20 看吧！到了时候我的话必要应验；因为你不信我的话，你必成为哑巴，直到这些事成就的那一天，才能说话。”
21 众人等候撒迦利亚；因他在圣殿里迟迟不出来，觉得奇怪。 22 等到他出来，却不能讲话，竟成了哑巴，不断地向他们打手式，他们就知道他在圣殿里见了异象。 23 供职的日子满了，他就回家去。 24 过了几天，他妻子以利沙伯怀了孕，隐藏了五个月，说： 25 “主在眷顾的日子，这样看待我，要把我在人间的羞耻除掉。”
天使预言耶稣降生
26 到了第六个月，天使加百列奉 神差遣，往加利利的拿撒勒城去， 27 到了一个童贞女那里，她已经和大卫家一个名叫约瑟的人订了婚，童贞女的名字是马利亚。 28 天使进去，对她说：“恭喜！蒙大恩的女子，主与你同在！” 29 她却因这话惊慌起来，反复思想这样祝贺是甚么意思。 30 天使说：“马利亚，不要怕！因你已从 神那里蒙了恩。 31 你将怀孕生子，要给他起名叫耶稣。 32 他将要被尊为大，称为至高者的儿子，主 神要把他祖大卫的王位赐给他， 33 他要作王统治雅各家，直到永远，他的国没有穷尽。” 34 马利亚对天使说：“我还没有出嫁（“我还没有出嫁”原文作“我不认识男人”），怎能有这事呢？” 35 天使回答：“圣灵要临到你，至高者的能力要覆庇你，因此那将要出生的圣者，必称为 神的儿子。 36 你看，你亲戚以利沙伯，被称为不生育的，在老年也怀了男胎，现在已是第六个月了， 37 因为在 神没有一件事是不可能的。” 38 马利亚说：“我是主的婢女，愿照你的话成就在我身上！”天使就离开她去了。
马利亚往见以利沙伯
39 后来，马利亚就起身，急忙向山地去，来到犹大的一座城， 40 进了撒迦利亚的家，向以利沙伯问安。 41 以利沙伯一听见马利亚的问安，腹中的胎儿就跳动，以利沙伯也被圣灵充满， 42 就高声说：“你在女子中是有福的！你腹中的胎儿也是有福的！ 43 我主的母亲竟然到我这里来。这事怎会临到我呢？ 44 你看，你问安的声音一进我的耳朵，我腹中的胎儿就欢喜跳跃。 45 这相信主传给她的话必要成就的女子是有福的。”
马利亚尊主为大（参(B)
46 马利亚说：
“我心尊主为大，
47 我灵以 神我的救主为乐，
48 因为他垂顾他婢女的卑微，
看哪！今后万代都要称我为有福。
49 全能者为我行了大事，他的名为圣；
50 他的怜悯世世代代归与敬畏他的人。
51 他用膀臂施展大能，
驱散心里妄想的狂傲人。
52 他使有权能的失位，
叫卑微的升高，
53 让饥饿的得饱美食，
使富足的空手回去。
54 他扶助了他的仆人以色列，
为要记念他的怜悯，
55 正如他向我们列祖所说的，
恩待亚伯拉罕和他的后裔，直到永远。”
56 马利亚和以利沙伯同住约有三个月，就回家去了。
施洗约翰出生
57 以利沙伯的产期到了，生了一个儿子。 58 邻里亲戚，听见主向她大施怜悯，都和她一同欢乐。 59 到了第八天，他们来给孩子行割礼，要照他父亲的名字，叫他撒迦利亚。 60 但他母亲说：“不可，要叫他约翰。” 61 他们说：“你亲族里没有叫这名字的。” 62 他们就向孩子的父亲打手式，看他要叫他甚么。 63 他要了一块写字版，写上说：“他的名字是约翰。”众人都希奇。 64 撒迦利亚的口舌立刻开了，就出声称颂 神。 65 住在周围的人都害怕，这一切事传遍了整个犹太山地， 66 凡听见的就把这些事放在心里，说：“这孩子将会成为怎样的人呢？因为主的手与他同在。”
撒迦利亚的预言
67 他的父亲撒迦利亚被圣灵充满，预言说：
68 “主，以色列的 神，是应当称颂的，
因他眷顾自己的子民，施行救赎，
69 在他仆人大卫家中，
为我们兴起救恩的角，
70 正如主自古以来藉圣先知口中所说的，
71 救我们脱离仇敌，和恨我们的人的手；
72 向我们列祖施怜悯，记念他的圣约，
73 就是他对我们祖先亚伯拉罕所起的誓，
74 把我们从仇敌手中救拔出来，
叫我们可以坦然无惧，用圣洁公义，
75 在他面前一生一世敬拜他。
76 孩子啊，你要称为至高者的先知，
因为你要行在主的面前，预备他的路，
77 使他的子民，因罪得赦，就知道救恩。
78 因我们 神的怜悯，
使清晨的阳光从高天临到我们，
79 光照那坐在黑暗中死荫里的人，
引导我们的脚，走上平安的路。”
80 这孩子渐渐长大，心灵健壮，住在旷野，直到他在以色列人中公开露面的日子。
Luke 1
New King James Version
Dedication to Theophilus
1 Inasmuch as many have taken in hand to set in order a narrative of those (A)things which [a]have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as those who (B)from the beginning were (C)eyewitnesses and ministers of the word (D)delivered them to us, 3 it seemed good to me also, having [b]had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write to you an orderly account, (E)most excellent Theophilus, 4 (F)that you may know the certainty of those things in which you were instructed.
John’s Birth Announced to Zacharias
5 There was (G)in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, (H)of the division of (I)Abijah. His (J)wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well advanced in years.
8 So it was, that while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his division, 9 according to the custom of the priesthood, [c]his lot fell (K)to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord. 10 (L)And the whole multitude of the people was praying outside at the hour of incense. 11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of (M)the altar of incense. 12 And when Zacharias saw him, (N)he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and (O)you shall call his name John. 14 And you will have joy and gladness, and (P)many will rejoice at his birth. 15 For he will be (Q)great in the sight of the Lord, and (R)shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, (S)even from his mother’s womb. 16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. 17 (T)He will also 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 make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
18 And Zacharias said to the angel, (U)“How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.”
19 And the angel answered and said to him, “I am (V)Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and was sent to speak to you and bring you [d]these glad (W)tidings. 20 But behold, (X)you will be mute and not able to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their own time.”
21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marveled that he lingered so long in the temple. 22 But when he came out, he could not speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, for he beckoned to them and remained speechless.
23 So it was, as soon as (Y)the days of his service were completed, that he departed to his own house. 24 Now after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying, 25 “Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the days when He looked on me, to (Z)take away my reproach among people.”
Christ’s Birth Announced to Mary
26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin (AA)betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And having come in, the angel said to her, (AB)“Rejoice, highly favored one, (AC)the Lord is with you; [e]blessed are you among women!”
29 But [f]when she saw him, (AD)she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. 30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found (AE)favor with God. 31 (AF)And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and (AG)shall call His name Jesus. 32 He will be great, (AH)and will be called the Son of the Highest; and (AI)the Lord God will give Him the (AJ)throne of His (AK)father David. 33 (AL)And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”
34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I [g]do not know a man?”
35 And the angel answered and said to her, (AM)“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called (AN)the Son of God. 36 Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. 37 For (AO)with God nothing will be impossible.”
38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
Mary Visits Elizabeth
39 Now Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, (AP)to a city of Judah, 40 and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. 41 And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was (AQ)filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, (AR)“Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43 But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45 (AS)Blessed is she who [h]believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.”
The Song of Mary
46 And Mary said:
(AT)“My soul [i]magnifies the Lord,
47 And my spirit has (AU)rejoiced in (AV)God my Savior.
48 For (AW)He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant;
For behold, henceforth (AX)all generations will call me blessed.
49 For He who is mighty (AY)has done great things for me,
And (AZ)holy is His name.
50 And (BA)His mercy is on those who fear Him
From generation to generation.
51 (BB)He has shown strength with His arm;
(BC)He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 (BD)He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
And exalted the lowly.
53 He has (BE)filled the hungry with good things,
And the rich He has sent away empty.
54 He has helped His (BF)servant Israel,
(BG)In remembrance of His mercy,
55 (BH)As He spoke to our (BI)fathers,
To Abraham and to his (BJ)seed forever.”
56 And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her house.
Birth of John the Baptist
57 Now Elizabeth’s full time came for her to be delivered, and she brought forth a son. 58 When her neighbors and relatives heard how the Lord had shown great mercy to her, they (BK)rejoiced with her.
Circumcision of John the Baptist
59 So it was, (BL)on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him by the name of his father, Zacharias. 60 His mother answered and said, (BM)“No; he shall be called John.”
61 But they said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.” 62 So they made signs to his father—what he would have him called.
63 And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, “His name is John.” So they all marveled. 64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, praising God. 65 Then fear came on all who dwelt around them; and all these sayings were discussed throughout all the hill country of Judea. 66 And all those who heard them (BN)kept them in their hearts, saying, “What kind of child will this be?” And (BO)the hand of the Lord was with him.
Zacharias’ Prophecy
67 Now his father Zacharias (BP)was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying:
68 “Blessed(BQ) is the Lord God of Israel,
For (BR)He has visited and redeemed His people,
69 (BS)And has raised up a horn of salvation for us
In the house of His servant David,
70 (BT)As He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets,
Who have been (BU)since the world began,
71 That we should be saved from our enemies
And from the hand of all who hate us,
72 (BV)To perform the mercy promised to our fathers
And to remember His holy covenant,
73 (BW)The oath which He swore to our father Abraham:
74 To grant us that we,
Being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
Might (BX)serve Him without fear,
75 (BY)In holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.
76 “And you, child, will be called the (BZ)prophet of the Highest;
For (CA)you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways,
77 To give (CB)knowledge of salvation to His people
By the remission of their sins,
78 Through the tender mercy of our God,
With which the [j]Dayspring from on high [k]has visited us;
79 (CC)To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,
To (CD)guide our feet into the way of peace.”
80 So (CE)the child grew and became strong in spirit, and (CF)was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.

Nouvo Testaman: Vèsyon Kreyòl Fasil
Jezi voye apot li yo al nan yon misyon
1 Chè Teofil,
Anpil lòt moun te gentan eseye ekri plizyè dokiman sou tout sa k te pase nan mitan nou konsènan Jezikris. 2 Yo rapòte nan dokiman sa yo tout temwanyaj ki soti nan bouch moun ki te temwen sa k te pase yo, epi ki vin tounen predikatè pawòl Bondye. 3 Mwen menm tou, m kwè li nòmal, poutèt mwen gentan fè yon bonjan rechèch sou bagay sa yo depi nan kòmansman, pou m ekri yon rapò byen detaye pou ou tou. 4 Mwen deside fè sa pou w ka rive kwè sa yo te anseye w yo se verite a.
Yon anj Bondye vin anonse nesans Janbatis
5 Nan epòk wa Ewòd t ap renye sou rejyon Jide a, te gen yon sakrifikatè yo te rele Zakari. Li te fè pati yon gwoup sakrifikatè Abija[a] t ap dirije. Madanm Zakari ki te rele Elizabèt te soti nan branch fanmi Aawon, frè Moyiz la. 6 Tou de moun sa yo te mennen lavi yo byen dwat devan Bondye, epi yo te obeyi tout kòmandman Bondye yo. 7 Yo pa t gen pitit, paske Elizabèt pa t ka fè pitit, epi yo te gentan granmoun anpil.
8 Lè lè a te rive pou gwoup Abija a te pran relèv pou sèvi nan tanp lan, Zakari te la pou ranpli wòl sakrifikatè li devan Bondye. 9 Sakrifikatè yo te fè tiraj osò tankou jan yo te toujou fè dapre koutim yo, epi yo te chwazi Zakari pou l te antre nan tanp Senyè a pou l al boule lansan an. 10 Pandan Zakari t ap boule lansan an anndan an, te gen yon gwo foul moun ki te rasanble deyò a ap lapriyè.
11 Sanzatann konsa, yon anj Senyè a parèt sou Zakari. Zanj lan te kanpe sou bò dwat lotèl pou boule lansan an. 12 Lè Zakari wè anj lan, sa te twouble lespri li epi li te pè anpil. 13 Lè sa a, anj lan di li: Zakari, ou pa bezwen pè, paske Bondye tande priyè w, epi madanm ou Elizabèt pral fè yon pitit gason. Ou a rele ti gason sa a Jan. 14 Ou pral gen lajwa ak kontantman nan kè w. Anpil lòt moun pral rejwi nan kè yo tou poutèt nesans li. 15 Paske ti pitit la pral vin yon moun espesyal nan je Senyè a. Li pa fèt pou l bwè ni diven ni okenn bwason ki gen alkòl. Epi l ap ranpli ak Sentespri Bondye depi nan vant manman l.
16 Se Jan ki pral ede anpil moun nan pèp Izrayèl la tounen vin jwenn Bondye, Senyè yo a. 17 Li pral mache kòm avangad devan Senyè a, pou l prepare kè yo pou resevwa Senyè a. L ap gen menm lespri ak pwofèt Eli. L ap ede paran yo fè lapè ak pitit yo. L ap ede moun ki dezobeyisan yo mennen yon vi konfòm ak volonte Bondye poutèt jan yo panse. L ap fè tout bagay sa yo pou l ka prepare kè moun yo pou yo rankontre Senyè a.
18 Lè sa a, Zakari di anj lan konsa: “kijan m ap fè konnen si sa w di m nan se vre? Paske m se yon vye granmoun epi madanm mwen se yon vye granmoun tou.”
19 Zanj lan reponn li: “Mwen rele Gabriyèl, se nan prezans Senyè a menm mwen kanpe. Senyè a te voye m vin pale ak ou pou m te ka ba w bòn nouvèl sa a. 20 Men, fòk mwen di w sa tou wi, ou pral bèbè. Ou p ap ka pale jouk tan sa m sot di w la rive, poutèt ou pa t kwè nan pawòl mwen ki gen pou akonpli nan tan ki fikse pou li a.”
21 Moun yo menm ki te deyò a ap tann Zakari, yo te kòmanse kraponnen poutèt Zakari te pran tout tan sa a anndan tanp lan. 22 Lè Zakari te vin soti, li pa t kapab pale ak foul la. Lè sa a, yo vin reyalize li te resevwa yon vizyon anndan an. Se an siy sèlman li t ap kominike ak yo paske li te bèbè. 23 Lè peryòd li te desèvis la te vin fin i, Zakari te retounen lakay li.
24 Kèk tan apre sa, Elizabèt madanm Zakari vin ansent. Li fè senk mwa kache anndan kay. Elizabèt di konsa: 25 “Finalman, Senyè a chwazi ede m nan fason sa a. Li sitèlman panche sou ka mwen, li leve kalite wont sa a pou mwen devan je pèp la.”
Yon anj vin anonse nesans Jezi
26 Lè Elizabèt te gen simwa ansent, Bondye voye yon anj ki rele Gabriyèl vin nan yon ti vil ki rele Nazarèt, nan zòn Galile. 27 Zanj lan te vin pale ak yon jèn fi ki pa t ko nan lavi gason ki te rete lavil Nazarèt. Jèn fi sa a te fiyanse ak yon jèn gason yo te rele Jozèf ki li menm te soti nan branch fanmi David. Yo te rele jèn fi sa a Mari. 28 Zanj lan avanse sou Mari epi li di l: “Bonjou! Senyè a avèk ou. Ou se yon moun Bondye beni anpil.”
29 Men, sa anj lan te di a te twouble Mari anpil. Li t ap mande tèt li kisa sa vle di.
30 Epi anj lan di li: “Ou pa bezwen pè, Mari. Ou se yon moun Senyè a fè gras. 31 Tande byen, ou gen pou ou vin ansent epi ou ap fè yon pitit gason. Ou a rele pitit gason sa a Jezi. 32 L ap vin yon moun ki gran. Y a rele l Pitit Bondye ki pi wo nan syèl la. Senyè a ap fè l vin wa tankou David gran gran papa li. 33 L ap renye sou pèp Izrayèl la pou tout tan. Pouvwa li p ap janm fin i.”
34 Lè sa a, Mari di anj lan konsa: “Ki jan sa ka fè rive? Mwen se yon moun ki pa ko nan lavi gason.”
35 Zanj lan reponn li: “Sentespri a pral vini sou ou, epi pouvwa Bondye ki pi wo nan syèl la pral kouvri w. Se poutèt sa, pitit ou pral fè a ap sen. Y ap rele l Pitit Bondye. 36 Epi fòk mwen di w sa tou, fanmi ou, Elizabèt, ansent kounye a la a. Malgre li fin granmoun, li pral fè yon pitit gason. Yo te di li pa t kapab fè pitit, epoutan gen simwa la a depi li ansent. 37 Sa rive konsa, paske pa gen anyen ki enposib pou Bondye.”
38 Mari di li: “Se sèvant Senyè a mwen ye. Se pou sa rive m jan ou di a.” Apre sa, Zanj lan ale.
Mari al rann Zakari ak Elizabèt yon vizit
39 Nan menm epòk la, Mari leve, san pèdi tan, li ale nan yon ti vil nan mòn Jide. 40 Mari antre lakay Zakari epi li salye Elizabèt. 41 Menm kote Elizabèt fin tande salitasyon Mari a, pitit ki nan vant Elizabèt la pran sote nan vant li epi Sentespri a ranpli Elizabèt.
42 Li pale byen fò epi li di Mari konsa: “Bondye beni ou pami tout fi, li beni pitit ou ap fè a tou. 43 Ki sa m ye menm, pou manman Senyè m nan vin lakay mwen? 44 Paske menm kote salitasyon ou nan rive nan zòrèy mwen, pitit la pran danse nan vant mwen, tèlman li kontan. 45 Ou se yon moun ki beni, paske ou te kwè sa Senyè a te di w la gen pou rive vre.”
Mari fè lwanj pou Senyè
46 Apre sa Mari di:
“Nanm mwen beni non Bondye.
47 Lespri m rejwi nan Bondye sovè mwen.
48 Malgre mwen pa gen enpòtans,
Senyè a manifeste favè li anvè mwen, pòv sèvant li a.
Depi kounye a pou jouktan sa fin i,
tout moun ap sonje kijan Bondye beni m anpil.
49 Wi, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a fè anpil gwo bagay pou mwen.
Non li sen anpil.
50 Li toujou gen konpasyon
pou moun ki gen krentif pou li.
51 Li manifeste pouvwa li nan sa li fè ak men li.
Moun ki ògeye yo epi ki panse se yon pakèt afè yo ye, li fè yo wont.
52 Li ranvèse wa yo sou twòn yo
epi li leve tèt moun ki bese byen ba devan li.
53 Li bay moun ki grangou yo manje pou plen vant yo,
men li voye moun rich yo ale san anyen.
54 Bondye ede Izrayèl pèp li chwazi pou sèvi l la.
Li pa t janm bliye mizerikòd li.
55 Jan li te di zansèt nou yo,
Abraram ansanm ak desandan l yo,
li t ap fè l la, pou tout tan gen tan.”
56 Mari pase anviwon twa mwa lakay Elizabèt, apre sa li tounen lakay li.
Nesans Janbatis
57 Lè lè a te rive pou Elizabèt akouche, li fè yon pitit gason. 58 Lè vwazen l yo ak fanmi l yo pran nouvèl kijan Bondye te manifeste bonte li anvè Elizabèt, sa te fè yo kontan anpil pou li. 59 Lè ti bebe a te gen uit jou, yo te ale pou sikonsi li. Yo te vle rele l Zakari tou pou te leve non papa l. 60 Men, manman l te di: “Non, se Jan pou l rele.”
61 Moun ki te la yo di Elizabèt konsa: “Men, pa gen pèsonn nan fanmi w ki rele Jan.” 62 Lè sa a, yo pale an siy ak papa a, yo mande l: “Ki jan ou ta renmen rele pitit la?”
63 Zakari mande pou yo ba li yon bagay pou l ekri. Epi li ekri, “Non li se jan.” Tout moun te sezi. 64 Apre sa, Zakari te vin ka pale ankò, epi li te kòmanse fè lwanj pou Bondye. 65 Tout moun nan vwazinay la te vin pè pou sa k pase a. Epi nan tout mòn Jide a moun pa t sispann pale koze a. 66 Tout moun ki te pran nouvèl sa k pase a t ap poze tèt yo anpil kesyon. Yo t ap mande tèt yo: “Ki sa ti gason sa a ap devni menm?” Yo te ka wè pouvwa Senyè a te avèk ti gason an.
Zakari fè lwanj pou Bondye
67 Apre sa, Sentespri a te ranpli Zakari, papa Jan, epi li te kòmanse ap bay pèp la yon mesaj ki soti nan Bondye ki di konsa:
68 “Lwanj pou Senyè a, Bondye Izrayèl la.
Li vin pote konkou bay pèp li a,
li vin libere yo.
69 Li ban nou yon Sovè ki gen anpil puisans
ki soti nan branch fanmi sèvitè li David.
70 Se sa menm li te pwomèt
pa mwayen pwofèt li yo depi nan tan lontan.
71 Li te pwomèt pou l delivre nou anba lènmi nou yo
anba grif tout moun ki rayi nou yo.
72 Li te di li t ap manifeste konpasyon li anvè gran paran nou yo,
epi li t ap toujou sonje alyans san defo li te fè ak yo a.
73 Se sa menm li te pwomèt
gran papa nou Abraram,
74 yon pwomès pou l delivre nou anba puisans lènmi nou yo,
pou nou kapab sèvi li san kè sote,
75 nan sentete ak nan yon fason ki kòrèk
devan je li toutotan n ap viv.
76 Kanta pou ou menm, ti gason,
y a rele w pwofèt Bondye ki pi wo nan syèl la.
Ou ap gen pou pran devan Senyè a pou prepare chemen an pou li.
77 Ou ap fè pèp li a konnen y ap jwenn delivrans
nan resevwa padon pou peche yo.
78 Paske Bondye gen kè sansib,
l ap fè yon limyè[b] soti anwo vin klere nou tankou solèy k ap leve.
79 L ap klere sa yo k ap viv nan fènwa epi ki chita anba lonbray lanmò.
L ap gide nou nan chemen lapè a.”
