Luke [White-light] 1:46-79

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.

⁵⁴He has given help to Israel God prevails, his servant, that he might remember eleos ·merciful compassion in action·,

⁵⁵As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham Father of a multitude and his offspring forever.”

⁵⁶Mary Rebellion stayed with her about three months, and then teshuvah ·completely returned· to her house.

⁵⁷Now the time that Elizabeth My God oath should give birth was fulfilled, and she gave birth to a son.

⁵⁸Her neighbors and her relatives heard that Adonai had magnified his eleos ·merciful compassion in action· towards her, and they rejoiced with her.

⁵⁹On the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias Remembered by Yah, after the name of his father.

⁶⁰His mother answered, “Not so; but he will be called John Yah is gracious.”

⁶¹They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”

⁶²They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.

⁶³He asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, “His name is John Yah is gracious.” They all marveled.

⁶⁴His mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.

⁶⁵Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea Praise.

⁶⁶All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, “What then will this child be?” The hand of MarYah Master Yahweh was with him.

⁶⁷His father, Zacharias Remembered by Yah, was filled with Ruach haKodesh Spirit of the Holiness, and prophesied, saying,

⁶⁸“Blessed be MarYah Master Yahweh, the God of Israel God prevails, for he has visited and redeemed his people;

⁶⁹and has raised up a horn of yishu'ah ·salvation· for us in the house of his servant David Beloved

⁷⁰(as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets who have been from of old),

⁷¹yishu'ah ·salvation· from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us;

⁷²to show eleos ·merciful compassion in action· towards our fathers, to remember his holy covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·,

⁷³the covenant oath which he swore to Abraham Father of a multitude, Avinu ·our Father·,

⁷⁴to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, should serve him without fear,

⁷⁵In holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life.

⁷⁶And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Elyon Most High, for you will go before the face of Yahweh to prepare his ways,

⁷⁷to give knowledge of yishu'ah ·salvation· to his people by the remission of their sins,

⁷⁸because of the tender eleos ·merciful compassion in action· of our God, whereby the dawn from on high will visit us,

⁷⁹to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
