2 ABTAG Alinsunod sa ipinatalos sa atin nilang buhat sa pasimula ay mga saksing nangakakakita at mga ministro ng salita, BSB BSB: just as they were handed down to us by the initial eyewitnesses and servants of the word.
3 ABTAG Ay minagaling ko naman, pagkasiyasat na lubos ng pangyayari ng lahat ng mga bagay mula nang una, na isulat sa iyong sunodsunod, kagalanggalang na Teofilo; 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 ABTAG Upang mapagkilala mo ang katunayan tungkol sa mga bagay na itinuro sa iyo. BSB BSB: so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
6 ABTAG At sila'y kapuwa matuwid sa harap ng Dios, na nagsisilakad na walang kapintasan sa lahat ng mga utos at mga palatuntunan ng Panginoon. BSB BSB: Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and decrees of the Lord.
7 ABTAG At wala silang anak, sapagka't baog si Elisabet, at sila'y kapuwa may pataw ng maraming taon. BSB BSB: But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well along in years.
8 ABTAG Nangyari nga, na samantalang ginaganap niya ang pagkasaserdote sa harapan ng Dios ayon sa kapanahunan ng kaniyang pulutong, BSB BSB: One day while Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,
9 ABTAG Alinsunod sa kaugalian ng tungkuling pagkasaserdote, ay naging palad niya ang pumasok sa templo ng Panginoon at magsunog ng kamangyan. 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 ABTAG At ang buong karamihan ng mga tao ay nagsisipanalangin sa labas sa oras ng kamangyan. BSB BSB: And at the hour of the incense offering, the whole congregation was praying outside.
11 ABTAG At napakita sa kaniya ang isang anghel ng Panginoon, na nakatayo sa dakong kanan ng dambana ng kamangyan. BSB BSB: Just then an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
12 ABTAG At nagulumihanan si Zacarias, pagkakita niya sa kaniya, at dinatnan siya ng takot. BSB BSB: When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and gripped with fear.
13 ABTAG Datapuwa't sinabi sa kaniya ng anghel, Huwag kang matakot, Zacarias: sapagka't dininig ang daing mo, at ang asawa mong si Elisabet ay manganganak sa iyo ng isang anak na lalake, at tatawagin mong Juan ang kaniyang pangalan. 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 ABTAG At magkakaroon ka ng ligaya at galak; at marami ang maliligaya sa pagkapanganak sa kaniya. BSB BSB: He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice at his birth,
15 ABTAG Sapagka't siya'y magiging dakila sa paningin ng Panginoon, at siya'y hindi iinom ng alak ni matapang na inumin; at siya'y mapupuspos ng Espiritu Santo, mula pa sa tiyan ng kaniyang ina. 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 ABTAG At marami sa mga anak ni Israel, ay papagbabaliking-loob niya sa Panginoon na kanilang Dios. BSB BSB: Many of the sons of Israel he will turn back to the Lord their God.
18 ABTAG At sinabi ni Zacarias sa anghel, Sa ano malalaman ko ito? sapagka't ako'y matanda na, at ang aking asawa ay may pataw ng maraming taon. 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 ABTAG At pagsagot ng anghel ay sinabi sa kaniya, Ako'y si Gabriel, na nananayo sa harapan ng Dios; at ako'y sinugo upang makipagusap sa iyo, at magdala sa iyo nitong mabubuting balita. 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 ABTAG At narito, mapipipi ka at hindi ka makapangungusap, hanggang sa araw na mangyari ang mga bagay na ito, sapagka't hindi ka sumampalataya sa aking mga salita, na magaganap sa kanilang kapanahunan. 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 ABTAG At hinihintay ng bayan si Zacarias, at nanganggigilalas sila sa kaniyang pagluluwat sa loob ng templo. BSB BSB: Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he took so long in the temple.
22 ABTAG At nang lumabas siya, ay hindi siya makapagsalita sa kanila: at hininagap nila na siya'y nakakita ng isang pangitain sa templo: at siya'y nagpatuloy ng pakikipagusap sa kanila, sa pamamagitan ng mga hudyat, at nanatiling pipi. 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 ABTAG At nangyari, na nang maganap na ang mga araw ng kaniyang paglilingkod, siya'y umuwi sa kaniyang bahay. BSB BSB: And when the days of his service were complete, he returned home.
24 ABTAG At pagkatapos ng mga araw na ito ay naglihi ang kaniyang asawang si Elisabet; at siya'y lumigpit ng limang buwan, na nagsasabi, BSB BSB: After these days, his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. She declared,
25 ABTAG Ganito ang ginawa ng Panginoon sa akin sa mga araw nang ako'y tingnan niya, upang alisin ang aking pagkaduwahagi sa gitna ng mga tao. 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 ABTAG Sa isang dalagang magaasawa sa isang lalake, na ang kaniyang ngala'y Jose, sa angkan ni David; at Maria ang pangalan ng dalaga. 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 ABTAG At pumasok siya sa kinaroroonan niya, at sinabi, Magalak ka, ikaw na totoong pinakamamahal, ang Panginoon ay sumasa iyo. BSB BSB: The angel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
29 ABTAG Datapuwa't siya'y totoong nagulumihanan sa sabing ito, at iniisip sa kaniyang sarili kung anong bati kaya ito. BSB BSB: Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
30 ABTAG At sinabi sa kaniya ng anghel, Huwag kang matakot, Maria: sapagka't nakasumpong ka ng biyaya sa Dios. BSB BSB: So the angel told her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 ABTAG At narito, maglilihi ka sa iyong tiyan, at manganganak ka ng isang lalake, at tatawagin mo ang kaniyang pangalang JESUS. BSB BSB: Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus.
32 ABTAG Siya'y magiging dakila, at tatawaging Anak ng Kataastaasan: at sa kaniya'y ibibigay ng Panginoong Dios ang luklukan ni David na kaniyang ama: 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 ABTAG At siya'y maghahari sa angkan ni Jacob magpakailan man; at hindi magkakawakas ang kaniyang kaharian. BSB BSB: and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever. His kingdom will never end!”
35 ABTAG At sumagot ang anghel, at sinabi sa kaniya, Bababa sa iyo ang Espiritu Santo, at lililiman ka ng kapangyarihan ng Kataastaasan: kaya naman ang banal na bagay na ipanganganak ay tatawaging Anak ng Dios. 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 ABTAG At narito, si Elisabet na iyong kamaganak, ay naglihi rin naman ng isang anak na lalake sa kaniyang katandaan; at ito ang ikaanim na buwan niya, na dati'y tinatawag na baog. 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 ABTAG Sapagka't walang salitang mula sa Dios na di may kapangyarihan. BSB BSB: For no word from God will ever fail.”
39 ABTAG At nang mga araw na ito'y nagtindig si Maria, at nagmadaling napasa lupaing maburol, sa isang bayan ng Juda; BSB BSB: In those days Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judah,
40 ABTAG At pumasok sa bahay ni Zacarias at bumati kay Elisabet. BSB BSB: where she entered the home of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
41 ABTAG At nangyari, pagkarinig ni Elisabet ng bati ni Maria, ay lumukso ang sanggol sa kaniyang tiyan; at napuspos si Elisabet ng Espiritu Santo; BSB BSB: When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
42 ABTAG At sumigaw siya ng malakas na tinig, at sinabi, Pinagpala ka sa mga babae, at pinagpala ang bunga ng iyong tiyan. BSB BSB: In a loud voice she exclaimed, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
43 ABTAG At ano't nangyari sa akin, na ang ina ng aking Panginoon ay pumarito sa akin? BSB BSB: And why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 ABTAG Sapagka't ganito, pagdating sa aking mga pakinig ng tinig ng iyong bati, lumukso sa tuwa ang sanggol sa aking tiyan. BSB BSB: For as soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
45 ABTAG At mapalad ang babaing sumampalataya; sapagka't matutupad ang mga bagay na sa kaniya'y sinabi ng Panginoon. BSB BSB: Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord’s word to her will be fulfilled.”
47 ABTAG At nagalak ang aking espiritu sa Dios na aking Tagapagligtas. BSB BSB: and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!
49 ABTAG Sapagka't ginawan ako ng Makapangyarihan ng mga dakilang bagay; At banal ang kaniyang pangalan. BSB BSB: For the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is His name.
50 ABTAG At ang kaniyang awa ay sa mga lahi't lahi. Sa nangatatakot sa kaniya. BSB BSB: His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation.
51 ABTAG Siya'y nagpakita ng lakas ng kaniyang bisig; Isinambulat niya ang mga palalo sa paggunamgunam ng kanilang puso. BSB BSB: He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
52 ABTAG Ibinaba niya ang mga prinsipe sa mga luklukan nila, At itinaas ang mga may mababang kalagayan. BSB BSB: He has brought down rulers from their thrones, but has exalted the humble.
53 ABTAG Binusog niya ang nangagugutom ng mabubuting bagay; At pinaalis niya ang mayayaman, na walang anoman. BSB BSB: He has filled the hungry with good things, but has sent the rich away empty.
54 ABTAG Tumulong siya sa Israel na kaniyang alipin, Upang maalaala niya ang awa BSB BSB: He has helped His servant Israel, remembering to be merciful,
55 ABTAG (Gaya ng sinabi niya sa ating mga magulang) Kay Abraham at sa kaniyang binhi magpakailan man. BSB BSB: as He promised to our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants forever.”
56 ABTAG At si Maria ay natirang kasama niya na may tatlong buwan, at umuwi sa kaniyang bahay. BSB BSB: Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
57 ABTAG Naganap nga kay Elisabet ang panahon ng panganganak; at siya'y nanganak ng isang lalake. BSB BSB: When the time came for Elizabeth to have her child, she gave birth to a son.
58 ABTAG At nabalitaan ng kaniyang mga kapitbahay at mga kamaganak, na dinakila ng Panginoon ang kaniyang awa sa kaniya; at sila'y nangakigalak sa kaniya. BSB BSB: Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they rejoiced with her.
59 ABTAG At nangyari, na nang ikawalong araw ay nagsiparoon sila upang tuliin ang sanggol; at siya'y tatawagin sana nila na Zacarias, ayon sa pangalan ng kaniyang ama. BSB BSB: On the eighth day, when they came to circumcise the child, they were going to name him after his father Zechariah.
60 ABTAG At sumagot ang kaniyang ina at nagsabi, Hindi gayon; kundi ang itatawag sa kaniya'y Juan. BSB BSB: But his mother replied, “No! He shall be called John.”
61 ABTAG At sinabi nila sa kaniya, Wala sa iyong kamaganak na tinatawag sa pangalang ito. BSB BSB: They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who bears this name.”
62 ABTAG At hinudyatan nila ang kaniyang ama, kung ano ang ibig niyang itawag. BSB BSB: So they made signs to his father to find out what he wanted to name the child.
63 ABTAG At humingi siya ng isang sulatan at sumulat, na sinasabi, Ang kaniyang pangalan ay Juan. At nagsipanggilalas silang lahat. BSB BSB: Zechariah asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.
64 ABTAG At pagdaka'y nabuka ang kaniyang bibig, at ang kaniyang dila'y nakalag, at siya'y nagsalita, na pinupuri ang Dios. BSB BSB: Immediately Zechariah’s mouth was opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak, praising God.
65 ABTAG At sinidlan ng takot ang lahat ng nagsisipanahan sa palibot nila; at nabansag ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito sa lahat ng lupaing maburol ng Judea. BSB BSB: All their neighbors were filled with awe, and people throughout the hill country of Judea were talking about these events.
66 ABTAG At lahat ng mga nangakarinig nito ay pawang iningatan sa kanilang puso, na sinasabi, Magiging ano nga kaya ang batang ito? Sapagka't ang kamay ng Panginoon ay sumasa kaniya. 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 ABTAG At si Zacarias na kaniyang ama ay napuspos ng Espiritu Santo, at nanghula, na nagsasabi, BSB BSB: Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
68 ABTAG Purihin ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng Israel; Sapagka't kaniyang dinalaw at tinubos ang kaniyang bayan, BSB BSB: “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and redeemed His people.
69 ABTAG At nagtaas sa atin ng isang sungay ng kaligtasan Sa bahay ni David na kaniyang alipin BSB BSB: He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David,
70 ABTAG (Gaya ng sinabi niya sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang mga banal na propeta na nagsilitaw buhat nang unang panahon), BSB BSB: as He spoke through His holy prophets, those of ages past,
71 ABTAG Kaligtasang mula sa ating mga kaaway, at sa kamay ng lahat ng nangapopoot sa atin; BSB BSB: salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us,
72 ABTAG Upang magkaawang-gawa sa ating mga magulang, At alalahanin ang kaniyang banal na tipan; BSB BSB: to show mercy to our fathers and to remember His holy covenant,
73 ABTAG Ang sumpa na isinumpa niya kay Abraham na ating ama, BSB BSB: the oath He swore to our father Abraham, to grant us
74 ABTAG Na ipagkaloob sa atin na yamang nangaligtas sa kamay ng ating mga kaaway, Ay paglingkuran natin siya ng walang takot, BSB BSB: deliverance from hostile hands, that we may serve Him without fear,
75 ABTAG Sa kabanalan at katuwiran sa harapan niya, lahat ng ating mga araw. BSB BSB: in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our lives.
76 ABTAG Oo at ikaw, sanggol, tatawagin kang propeta ng kataastaasan; Sapagka't magpapauna ka sa unahan ng mukha ng Panginoon, upang ihanda ang kaniyang mga daan; 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 ABTAG Upang maipakilala ang kaligtasan sa kaniyang bayan, Sa pagkapatawad ng kanilang mga kasalanan, BSB BSB: to give to His people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,
78 ABTAG Dahil sa magiliw na habag ng aming Dios, Ang pagbubukang liwayway buhat sa kaitaasan ay dadalaw sa atin, BSB BSB: because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the Dawn will visit us from on high,
79 ABTAG Upang liwanagan ang nangakalugmok sa kadiliman at sa lilim ng kamatayan; Upang itumpak ang ating mga paa sa daan ng kapayapaan. 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 ABTAG At lumaki ang sanggol, at lumakas sa espiritu, at nasa mga ilang hanggang sa araw ng kaniyang pagpapakita sa Israel. 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.
