Luke [White-light] 1:1-53

¹Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,

²even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,

³it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus God friend;

⁴that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.

⁵There was in the days of Herod Heroic, the king of Judea Praise, a certain priest named Zacharias Remembered by Yah, of the priestly division of Abiyah My father Yah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron Light-bringer, and her name was Elizabeth My God oath.

⁶They were both upright before God, observing all the mitzvot ·instructions· and ordinances of Yahweh blamelessly.

⁷But they had no child, because Elizabeth My God oath was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.

⁸Now while he served in the priest’s office before God in the order of his priestly division,

⁹according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of Yahweh and burn incense (as the Cohen Gadol ·High Priest· on Yom Kippur ·Day of Atonement·. On the 7th month of Ethanim on the 10th day).

¹⁰All the people were outside, praying, at the time of the incense burning,

¹¹when there appeared to him an angel of MarYah Master Yahweh, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

¹²Zacharias Remembered by Yah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.

¹³But the angel said to him, “Don’t be afraid, Zacharias Remembered by Yah, because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elizabeth My God oath, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John Yah is gracious.

¹⁴You will have joy and gladness; and many will rejoice at his birth.

¹⁵For he will be great in the sight of MarYah Master Yahweh, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with Ruach haKodesh Spirit of the Holiness, even from his mother’s womb.

¹⁶He will turn many of the children of to MarYah Master Yahweh, their God.

¹⁷He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah My God Yah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to prepare a people prepared for Adonai .”

¹⁸Zacharias Remembered by Yah said to the angel, “How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.”

¹⁹The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel Man of God, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news.

²⁰Behold, you will be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things will happen, because you didn’t believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”

²¹The people were waiting for Zacharias Remembered by Yah, and they marveled that he delayed in the temple.

²²When he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.

²³When the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.

²⁴After these days Elizabeth My God oath, his wife, conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,

²⁵“Thus has MarYah Master Yahweh done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my reproach among men.”

²⁶Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel Man of God was sent from God to a city of Galilee District, Circuit, named Nazareth Branch, Separated one,

²⁷to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph May he add, of David Beloved’s house. The virgin’s name was Mary Rebellion.

²⁸Having come in, the angel said to her, “Shalom ·Complete peace·, favored lady! Adonai is with you. Blessed are you among women!”

²⁹But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be.

³⁰The angel said to her, “Don’t be afraid, Mary Rebellion, for you have found favor with God.

³¹Behold, you will conceive in your womb, and give birth to a son, and will call his name ‘Yeshua Salvation.’

³²He will be great, and will be called haBen haElohim Chayim the Son of the God Living. MarYah Master Yahweh God will give him the throne of his forefather, David Beloved,

³³and he will reign over the house of Jacob Supplanter forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom.”

³⁴Mary Rebellion said to the angel, “How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?”

³⁵The angel answered her, “The Ruach Kodesh Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Elyon Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born from you will be called the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·.

³⁶Behold, Elizabeth My God oath, your relative, also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.

³⁷For nothing spoken by God is impossible.”

³⁸Mary Rebellion said, “Behold, the servant of MarYah Master Yahweh; let it be done to me according to your word.” The angel departed from her.

³⁹Mary Rebellion arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah Praised,

⁴⁰and entered into the house of Zacharias Remembered by Yah and greeted Elizabeth My God oath.

⁴¹When Elizabeth My God oath heard Mary Rebellion’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth My God oath was filled with Ruach haKodesh Spirit of the Holiness.

⁴²She called out with a loud voice, and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

⁴³Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

⁴⁴For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy!

⁴⁵Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from MarYah Master Yahweh!”

⁴⁶Mary Rebellion said, “My soul magnifies Adonai .

⁴⁷My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,

⁴⁸for he has looked at the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.

⁴⁹For he who is mighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name.

⁵⁰And in every generation, he has eleos ·merciful compassion in action· on those who fear him.

⁵¹He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

⁵²He has put down princes from their thrones. And has exalted the lowly.

⁵³He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.
