2 SRP1868 као што нам предаше који испрва сами видеше и слуге речи бише: BSB BSB: just as they were handed down to us by the initial eyewitnesses and servants of the word.
3 SRP1868 Намислих и ја, испитавши све од почетка, по реду писати теби, честити Теофиле, BSB BSB: Therefore, having carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,
4 SRP1868 да познаш темељ оних речи којима си се научио. BSB BSB: so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
6 SRP1868 А беху обоје праведни пред Богом, и живљаху у свему по заповестима и уредбама Господњим без мане. BSB BSB: Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and decrees of the Lord.
7 SRP1868 И не имаху деце; јер Јелисавета беше нероткиња, и беху обоје већ стари. BSB BSB: But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well along in years.
8 SRP1868 И догоди се, кад он служаше по свом реду пред Богом, BSB BSB: One day while Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,
9 SRP1868 да по обичају свештенства дође на њега да изиђе у цркву Господњу да кади. BSB BSB: he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10 SRP1868 И све мноштво народа беше напољу и мољаше се Богу у време кађења. BSB BSB: And at the hour of the incense offering, the whole congregation was praying outside.
11 SRP1868 А њему се показа анђео Господњи који стајаше с десне стране олтара кадионог. BSB BSB: Just then an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
12 SRP1868 И кад га виде Зарија уплаши се и страх нападе на њ. BSB BSB: When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and gripped with fear.
13 SRP1868 А анђео рече му: Не бој се, Зарија; јер је услишена твоја молитва: и жена твоја Јелисавета родиће ти сина, и надени му име Јован. BSB BSB: But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John.
14 SRP1868 И биће теби радост и весеље, и многи ће се обрадовати његовом рођењу. BSB BSB: He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice at his birth,
15 SRP1868 Јер ће бити велики пред Богом, и неће пити вино ни сикер; и напуниће се Духа Светог још у утроби матере своје; BSB BSB: for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He shall never take wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb.
16 SRP1868 и многе ће синове Израиљеве обратити ка Господу Богу њиховом; BSB BSB: Many of the sons of Israel he will turn back to the Lord their God.
18 SRP1868 И рече Зарија анђелу: По чему ћу ја то познати? Јер сам стар и жена је моја временита. BSB BSB: “How can I be sure of this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “I am an old man, and my wife is well along in years.”
19 SRP1868 И одговарајући анђео рече му: Ја сам Гаврило што стојим пред Богом, и послан сам да говорим с тобом и да ти јавим ову радост. BSB BSB: “I am Gabriel,” replied the angel. “I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.
20 SRP1868 И ево, онемећеш и нећеш моћи говорити до оног дана док се то не збуде; јер ниси веровао мојим речима које ће се збити у своје време. BSB BSB: And now you will be silent and unable to speak until the day this comes to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at their proper time.”
21 SRP1868 И народ чекаше Зарију, и чуђаху се што се забави у цркви. BSB BSB: Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he took so long in the temple.
22 SRP1868 А изишавши не могаше да им говори; и разумеше да му се нешто утворило у цркви; и он намигиваше им; и оста нем. BSB BSB: When he came out and was unable to speak to them, they realized he had seen a vision in the temple. He kept making signs to them but remained unable to speak.
23 SRP1868 И кад се навршише дани његове службе отиде кући својој. BSB BSB: And when the days of his service were complete, he returned home.
24 SRP1868 А после ових дана, затрудне Јелисавета жена његова, и кријаше се пет месеци говорећи: BSB BSB: After these days, his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. She declared,
25 SRP1868 Тако ми учини Господ у дане ове у које погледа на ме да ме избави од укора међу људима. BSB BSB: “The Lord has done this for me. In these days He has shown me favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.”
27 SRP1868 к девојци испрошеној за мужа, по имену Јосифа из дома Давидовог; и девојци беше име Марија. BSB BSB: to a virgin pledged in marriage to a man named Joseph, who was of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary.
28 SRP1868 И ушавши к њој анђео рече: Радуј се, благодатна! Господ је с тобом, благословена си ти међу женама. BSB BSB: The angel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
29 SRP1868 А она, видевши га, поплаши се од речи његове и помисли: Какав би ово био поздрав? BSB BSB: Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
30 SRP1868 И рече јој анђео: Не бој се, Марија! Јер си нашла милост у Бога. BSB BSB: So the angel told her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 SRP1868 И ево затруднећеш, и родићеш Сина, и надени Му име Исус. BSB BSB: Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus.
32 SRP1868 Он ће бити велики, и назваће се Син Највишега, и даће Му Господ Бог престо Давида оца Његовог; BSB BSB: 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,
33 SRP1868 и цароваће у дому Јаковљевом вавек, и царству Његовом неће бити краја. BSB BSB: and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever. His kingdom will never end!”
35 SRP1868 И одговарајући анђео рече јој: Дух Свети доћи ће на тебе, и сила Највишег осениће те; зато и оно што ће се родити биће свето, и назваће се Син Божји. BSB BSB: The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God.
36 SRP1868 И ево Јелисавета, твоја тетка, и она затрудне сином у старости својој, и ово је шести месец њој, коју зову нероткињом. BSB BSB: Look, even Elizabeth your relative has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called barren is in her sixth month.
37 SRP1868 Јер у Бога све је могуће што каже. BSB BSB: For no word from God will ever fail.”
39 SRP1868 А Марија уставши оних дана, отиде брзо у горњу земљу, у град Јудин. BSB BSB: In those days Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judah,
40 SRP1868 И уђе у кућу Заријину, и поздрави се с Јелисаветом. BSB BSB: where she entered the home of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
41 SRP1868 И кад Јелисавета чу честитање Маријино, заигра дете у утроби њеној, и Јелисавета се напуни Духа Светог, BSB BSB: When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
42 SRP1868 и повика здраво и рече: Благословена си ти међу женама, и благословен је плод утробе твоје. BSB BSB: In a loud voice she exclaimed, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
43 SRP1868 И откуд мени ово да дође мати Господа мог к мени? BSB BSB: And why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 SRP1868 Јер гле, кад дође глас честитања твог у уши моје, заигра дете радосно у утроби мојој. BSB BSB: For as soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
45 SRP1868 И благо оној која верова, јер ће се извршити шта јој каза Господ. BSB BSB: Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord’s word to her will be fulfilled.”
47 SRP1868 И обрадова се дух мој Богу Спасу мом, BSB BSB: and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!
49 SRP1868 Што ми учини величину силни, и свето име Његово; BSB BSB: For the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is His name.
50 SRP1868 И милост је Његова од колена на колено онима који Га се боје. BSB BSB: His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation.
51 SRP1868 Показа силу руком својом; разасу поносите у мислима срца њихових. BSB BSB: He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
52 SRP1868 Збаци силне с престола, и подиже понижене. BSB BSB: He has brought down rulers from their thrones, but has exalted the humble.
53 SRP1868 Гладне напуни блага, и богате отпусти празне. BSB BSB: He has filled the hungry with good things, but has sent the rich away empty.
54 SRP1868 Прими Израиља, слугу свог, да се опомене милости. BSB BSB: He has helped His servant Israel, remembering to be merciful,
55 SRP1868 Као што говори оцима нашим, Аврааму и семену његовом довека. BSB BSB: as He promised to our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants forever.”
56 SRP1868 Марија пак седи с њом око три месеца, и врати се кући својој. BSB BSB: Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
57 SRP1868 А Јелисавети дође време да роди, и роди сина. BSB BSB: When the time came for Elizabeth to have her child, she gave birth to a son.
58 SRP1868 И чуше њени суседи и родбина да је Господ показао велику милост своју на њој, и радоваху се с њом. BSB BSB: Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they rejoiced with her.
59 SRP1868 И у осми дан дођоше да обрежу дете, и хтеше да му надену име оца његовог, Зарија. BSB BSB: On the eighth day, when they came to circumcise the child, they were going to name him after his father Zechariah.
60 SRP1868 И одговарајући мати његова рече: Не, него да буде Јован. BSB BSB: But his mother replied, “No! He shall be called John.”
61 SRP1868 И рекоше јој: Никога нема у родбини твојој да му је такво име. BSB BSB: They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who bears this name.”
62 SRP1868 И намигиваху оцу његовом како би он хтео да му надену име. BSB BSB: So they made signs to his father to find out what he wanted to name the child.
63 SRP1868 И заискавши дашчицу, написа говорећи: Јован му је име. И зачудише се сви. BSB BSB: Zechariah asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.
64 SRP1868 И одмах му се отворише уста и језик његов и говораше хвалећи Бога. BSB BSB: Immediately Zechariah’s mouth was opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak, praising God.
65 SRP1868 И уђе страх у све суседе њихове; и по свој горњој Јудеји разгласи се сав овај догађај. BSB BSB: All their neighbors were filled with awe, and people throughout the hill country of Judea were talking about these events.
66 SRP1868 И сви који чуше метнуше у срце своје говорећи: Шта ће бити из овог детета? И рука Господња беше са њим. BSB BSB: And all who heard this wondered in their hearts and asked, “What then will this child become?” For the Lord’s hand was with him.
67 SRP1868 И Зарија отац његов напуни се Духа Светог, и пророкова говорећи: BSB BSB: Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
68 SRP1868 Благословен Господ Бог Јаковљев што походи и избави народ свој, BSB BSB: “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and redeemed His people.
69 SRP1868 И подиже нам рог спасења у дому Давида слуге свог, BSB BSB: He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David,
70 SRP1868 Као што говори устима светих пророка својих од века BSB BSB: as He spoke through His holy prophets, those of ages past,
71 SRP1868 Да ће нас избавити од наших непријатеља и из руку свих који мрзе на нас; BSB BSB: salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us,
72 SRP1868 Учинити милост оцима нашим, и опоменути се светог завета свог, BSB BSB: to show mercy to our fathers and to remember His holy covenant,
73 SRP1868 Клетве којом се клео Аврааму оцу нашем да ће нам дати BSB BSB: the oath He swore to our father Abraham, to grant us
74 SRP1868 Да се избавимо из руку непријатеља својих, и да му служимо без страха, BSB BSB: deliverance from hostile hands, that we may serve Him without fear,
75 SRP1868 И у светости и у правди пред Њим док смо год живи. BSB BSB: in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our lives.
76 SRP1868 И ти, дете, назваћеш се пророк Највишега; јер ћеш ићи напред пред лицем Господњим да Му приправиш пут; BSB BSB: And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for Him,
77 SRP1868 Да даш разум спасења народу његовом за опроштење греха њихових, BSB BSB: to give to His people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,
78 SRP1868 По дубокој милости Бога нашег, по којој нас је походио исток с висине; BSB BSB: because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the Dawn will visit us from on high,
79 SRP1868 Да обасјаш оне који седе у тами и у сену смртном; да упутиш ноге наше на пут мира. BSB BSB: to shine on those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
80 SRP1868 А дете растијаше и јачаше духом, и беше у пустињи дотле док се не показа Израиљу. BSB BSB: And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the wilderness until the time of his public appearance to Israel.
