Luke 1

1 Many have undertaken to compose an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,

1 إِذْ كَانَ كَثِيرُونَ قَدْ أَخَذُوا بِتَأْلِيفِ قِصَّةٍ فِي ٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلْمُتَيَقَّنَةِ عِنْدَنَا،

2 just as they were handed down to us by the initial eyewitnesses and servants of the word.

2 كَمَا سَلَّمَهَا إِلَيْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا مُنْذُ ٱلْبَدْءِ مُعَايِنِينَ وَخُدَّامًا لِلْكَلِمَةِ،

3 Therefore, having carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,

3 رَأَيْتُ أَنَا أَيْضًا إِذْ قَدْ تَتَبَّعْتُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ مِنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِ بِتَدْقِيقٍ، أَنْ أَكْتُبَ عَلَى ٱلتَّوَالِي إِلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْعَزِيزُ ثَاوُفِيلُسُ،

4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.

4 لِتَعْرِفَ صِحَّةَ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي عُلِّمْتَ بِهِ.

5 In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah, and whose wife Elizabeth was a descendant of Aaron.

5 كَانَ فِي أَيَّامِ هِيرُودُسَ مَلِكِ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ كَاهِنٌ ٱسْمُهُ زَكَرِيَّا مِنْ فِرْقَةِ أَبِيَّا، وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ مِنْ بَنَاتِ هارُونَ وَٱسْمُهَا أَلِيصَابَاتُ.

6 Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and decrees of the Lord.

6 وَكَانَا كِلَاهُمَا بَارَّيْنِ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ، سَالِكَيْنِ فِي جَمِيعِ وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَحْكَامِهِ بِلَا لَوْمٍ.

7 But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well along in years.

7 وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمَا وَلَدٌ، إِذْ كَانَتْ أَلِيصَابَاتُ عَاقِرًا. وَكَانَا كِلَاهُمَا مُتَقَدِّمَيْنِ فِي أَيَّامِهِمَا.

8 One day while Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,

8 فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَكْهَنُ فِي نَوْبَةِ فِرْقَتِهِ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ،

9 he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.

9 حَسَبَ عَادَةِ ٱلْكَهَنُوتِ، أَصَابَتْهُ ٱلْقُرْعَةُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَيُبَخِّرَ.

10 And at the hour of the incense offering, the whole congregation was praying outside.

10 وَكَانَ كُلُّ جُمْهُورِ ٱلشَّعْبِ يُصَلُّونَ خَارِجًا وَقْتَ ٱلْبَخُورِ.

11 Just then an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.

11 فَظَهَرَ لَهُ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَاقِفًا عَنْ يَمِينِ مَذْبَحِ ٱلْبَخُورِ.

12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and gripped with fear.

12 فَلَمَّا رَآهُ زَكَرِيَّا ٱضْطَرَبَ وَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ خَوْفٌ.

13 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.

13 فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْمَلَاكُ: «لَا تَخَفْ يَا زَكَرِيَّا، لِأَنَّ طِلْبَتَكَ قَدْ سُمِعَتْ، وَٱمْرَأَتُكَ أَلِيصَابَاتُ سَتَلِدُ لَكَ ٱبْنًا وَتُسَمِّيهِ يُوحَنَّا.

14 He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice at his birth,

14 وَيَكُونُ لَكَ فَرَحٌ وَٱبْتِهَاجٌ، وَكَثِيرُونَ سَيَفْرَحُونَ بِوِلَادَتِهِ،

15 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.

15 لِأَنَّهُ يَكُونُ عَظِيمًا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَخَمْرًا وَمُسْكِرًا لَا يَشْرَبُ، وَمِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ يَمْتَلِئُ مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ.

16 Many of the sons of Israel he will turn back to the Lord their God.

16 وَيَرُدُّ كَثِيرِينَ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ.

17 And he will go on before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

17 وَيَتَقَدَّمُ أَمَامَهُ بِرُوحِ إِيلِيَّا وَقُوَّتِهِ، لِيَرُدَّ قُلُوبَ ٱلْآبَاءِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبْنَاءِ، وَٱلْعُصَاةَ إِلَى فِكْرِ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ، لِكَيْ يُهَيِّئَ لِلرَّبِّ شَعْبًا مُسْتَعِدًّا».

18 “How can I be sure of this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “I am an old man, and my wife is well along in years.”

18 فَقَالَ زَكَرِيَّا لِلْمَلَاكِ: «كَيْفَ أَعْلَمُ هَذَا، لِأَنِّي أَنَا شَيْخٌ وَٱمْرَأَتِي مُتَقَدِّمَةٌ فِي أَيَّامِهَا؟».

19 “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.

19 فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنَا جِبْرَائِيلُ ٱلْوَاقِفُ قُدَّامَ ٱللهِ، وَأُرْسِلْتُ لِأُكَلِّمَكَ وَأُبَشِّرَكَ بِهَذَا.

20 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.”

20 وَهَا أَنْتَ تَكُونُ صَامِتًا وَلَا تَقْدِرُ أَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ، إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي يَكُونُ فِيهِ هَذَا، لِأَنَّكَ لَمْ تُصَدِّقْ كَلَامِي ٱلَّذِي سَيَتِمُّ فِي وَقْتِهِ».

21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he took so long in the temple.

21 وَكَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مُنْتَظِرِينَ زَكَرِيَّا وَمُتَعّجِّبِينَ مِنْ إِبْطَائِهِ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ.

22 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.

22 فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَهُمْ، فَفَهِمُوا أَنَّهُ قَدْ رَأَى رُؤْيَا فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ. فَكَانَ يُومِئُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَبَقِيَ صَامِتًا.

23 And when the days of his service were complete, he returned home.

23 وَلَمَّا كَمِلَتْ أَيَّامُ خِدْمَتِهِ مَضَى إِلَى بَيْتِهِ.

24 After these days, his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. She declared,

24 وَبَعْدَ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ حَبِلَتْ أَلِيصَابَاتُ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ، وَأَخْفَتْ نَفْسَهَا خَمْسَةَ أَشْهُرٍ قَائِلَةً:

25 “The Lord has done this for me. In these days He has shown me favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.”

25 «هَكَذَا قَدْ فَعَلَ بِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا نَظَرَ إِلَيَّ، لِيَنْزِعَ عَارِي بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ».

26 In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,

26 وَفِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّادِسِ أُرْسِلَ جِبْرَائِيلُ ٱلْمَلَاكُ مِنَ ٱللهِ إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْجَلِيلِ ٱسْمُهَا نَاصِرَةُ،

27 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.

27 إِلَى عَذْرَاءَ مَخْطُوبَةٍ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ ٱسْمُهُ يُوسُفُ. وَٱسْمُ ٱلْعَذْرَاءِ مَرْيَمُ.

28 The angel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”

28 فَدَخَلَ إِلَيْهَا ٱلْمَلَاكُ وَقَالَ: «سَلَامٌ لَكِ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْمُنْعَمُ عَلَيْهَا! اَلرَّبُّ مَعَكِ. مُبَارَكَةٌ أَنْتِ فِي ٱلنِّسَاءِ».

29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.

29 فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ ٱضْطَرَبَتْ مِنْ كَلَامِهِ، وَفَكَّرَتْ: «مَا عَسَى أَنْ تَكُونَ هَذِهِ ٱلتَّحِيَّةُ!».

30 So the angel told her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

30 فَقَالَ لَهَا ٱلْمَلَاكُ: «لَا تَخَافِي يَا مَرْيَمُ، لِأَنَّكِ قَدْ وَجَدْتِ نِعْمَةً عِنْدَ ٱللهِ.

31 Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus.

31 وَهَا أَنْتِ سَتَحْبَلِينَ وَتَلِدِينَ ٱبْنًا وَتُسَمِّينَهُ يَسُوعَ.

32 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,

32 هَذَا يَكُونُ عَظِيمًا، وَٱبْنَ ٱلْعَلِيِّ يُدْعَى، وَيُعْطِيهِ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ كُرْسِيَّ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ،

33 and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever. His kingdom will never end!”

33 وَيَمْلِكُ عَلَى بَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَلَا يَكُونُ لِمُلْكِهِ نِهَايَةٌ».

34 “How can this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

34 فَقَالَتْ مَرْيَمُ لِلْمَلَاكِ: «كَيْفَ يَكُونُ هَذَا وَأَنَا لَسْتُ أَعْرِفُ رَجُلًا؟».

35 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.

35 فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ وَقَالَ لَها: «اَلرُّوحُ ٱلْقُدُسُ يَحِلُّ عَلَيْكِ، وَقُوَّةُ ٱلْعَلِيِّ تُظَلِّلُكِ، فَلِذَلِكَ أَيْضًا ٱلْقُدُّوسُ ٱلْمَوْلُودُ مِنْكِ يُدْعَى ٱبْنَ ٱللهِ.

36 Look, even Elizabeth your relative has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called barren is in her sixth month.

36 وَهُوَذَا أَلِيصَابَاتُ نَسِيبَتُكِ هِيَ أَيْضًا حُبْلَى بِٱبْنٍ فِي شَيْخُوخَتِهَا، وَهَذَا هُوَ ٱلشَّهْرُ ٱلسَّادِسُ لِتِلْكَ ٱلْمَدْعُوَّةِ عَاقِرًا،

37 For no word from God will ever fail.”

37 لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ غَيْرَ مُمْكِنٍ لَدَى ٱللهِ».

38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it happen to me according to your word.” Then the angel left her.

38 فَقَالَتْ مَرْيَمُ: «هُوَذَا أَنَا أَمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ. لِيَكُنْ لِي كَقَوْلِكَ». فَمَضَى مِنْ عِنْدِهَا ٱلْمَلَاكُ.

39 In those days Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judah,

39 فَقَامَتْ مَرْيَمُ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ وَذَهَبَتْ بِسُرْعَةٍ إِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ يَهُوذَا،

40 where she entered the home of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.

40 وَدَخَلَتْ بَيْتَ زَكَرِيَّا وَسَلَّمَتْ عَلَى أَلِيصَابَاتَ.

41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

41 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ أَلِيصَابَاتُ سَلَامَ مَرْيَمَ ٱرْتَكَضَ ٱلْجَنِينُ فِي بَطْنِهَا، وَٱمْتَلَأَتْ أَلِيصَابَاتُ مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ،

42 In a loud voice she exclaimed, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

42 وَصَرَخَتْ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ وَقَالَتْ: «مُبَارَكَةٌ أَنْتِ فِي ٱلنِّسَاءِ وَمُبَارَكَةٌ هِيَ ثَمَرَةُ بَطْنِكِ!

43 And why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

43 فَمِنْ أَيْنَ لِي هَذَا أَنْ تَأْتِيَ أُمُّ رَبِّي إِلَيَّ؟

44 For as soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.

44 فَهُوَذَا حِينَ صَارَ صَوْتُ سَلَامِكِ فِي أُذُنَيَّ ٱرْتَكَضَ ٱلْجَنِينُ بِٱبْتِهَاجٍ فِي بَطْنِي.

45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord’s word to her will be fulfilled.”

45 فَطُوبَى لِلَّتِي آمَنَتْ أَنْ يَتِمَّ مَا قِيلَ لَهَا مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ».

46 Then Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,

46 فَقَالَتْ مَرْيَمُ: «تُعَظِّمُ نَفْسِي ٱلرَّبَّ،

47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!

47 وَتَبْتَهِجُ رُوحِي بِٱللهِ مُخَلِّصِي،

48 For He has looked with favor on the humble state of His servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed.

48 لِأَنَّهُ نَظَرَ إِلَى ٱتِّضَاعِ أَمَتِهِ. فَهُوَذَا مُنْذُ ٱلْآنَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَجْيَالِ تُطَوِّبُنِي،

49 For the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is His name.

49 لِأَنَّ ٱلْقَدِيرَ صَنَعَ بِي عَظَائِمَ، وَٱسْمُهُ قُدُّوسٌ،

50 His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation.

50 وَرَحْمَتُهُ إِلَى جِيلِ ٱلْأَجْيَالِ لِلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَهُ.

51 He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in the thoughts of their hearts.

51 صَنَعَ قُوَّةً بِذِرَاعِهِ. شَتَّتَ ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ بِفِكْرِ قُلُوبِهِمْ.

52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones, but has exalted the humble.

52 أَنْزَلَ ٱلْأَعِزَّاءَ عَنِ ٱلْكَرَاسِيِّ وَرَفَعَ ٱلْمُتَّضِعِينَ.

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

53 أَشْبَعَ ٱلْجِيَاعَ خَيْرَاتٍ وَصَرَفَ ٱلْأَغْنِيَاءَ فَارِغِينَ.

54 He has helped His servant Israel, remembering to be merciful,

54 عَضَدَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَتَاهُ لِيَذْكُرَ رَحْمَةً،

55 as He promised to our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants forever.”

55 كَمَا كَلَّمَ آبَاءَنَا. لِإِبْراهِيمَ وَنَسْلِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ».

56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.

56 فَمَكَثَتْ مَرْيَمُ عِنْدَهَا نَحْوَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَتْ إِلَى بَيْتِهَا.

57 When the time came for Elizabeth to have her child, she gave birth to a son.

57 وَأَمَّا أَلِيصَابَاتُ فَتَمَّ زَمَانُهَا لِتَلِدَ، فَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا.

58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they rejoiced with her.

58 وَسَمِعَ جِيرَانُهَا وَأَقْرِبَاؤُهَا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ عَظَّمَ رَحْمَتَهُ لَهَا، فَفَرِحُوا مَعَهَا.

59 On the eighth day, when they came to circumcise the child, they were going to name him after his father Zechariah.

59 وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّامِنِ جَاءُوا لِيَخْتِنُوا ٱلصَّبِيَّ، وَسَمَّوْهُ بِٱسْمِ أَبِيهِ زَكَرِيَّا.

60 But his mother replied, “No! He shall be called John.”

60 فَأَجَابَتْ أمُّهُ وَقَالَتْ: «لَا! بَلْ يُسَمَّى يُوحَنَّا».

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

61 فَقَالُوا لَهَا: «لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ فِي عَشِيرَتِكِ تَسَمَّى بِهَذَا ٱلِٱسْمِ».

62 So they made signs to his father to find out what he wanted to name the child.

62 ثُمَّ أَوْمَأُوا إِلَى أَبِيهِ، مَاذَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُسَمَّى.

63 Zechariah asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.

63 فَطَلَبَ لَوْحًا وَكَتَبَ قَائِلًا: «ٱسْمُهُ يُوحَنَّا». فَتَعَجَّبَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ.

64 Immediately Zechariah’s mouth was opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak, praising God.

64 وَفِي ٱلْحَالِ ٱنْفَتَحَ فَمُهُ وَلِسَانُهُ وَتَكَلَّمَ وَبَارَكَ ٱللهَ.

65 All their neighbors were filled with awe, and people throughout the hill country of Judea were talking about these events.

65 فَوَقَعَ خَوْفٌ عَلَى كُلِّ جِيرَانِهِمْ. وَتُحُدِّثَ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ جَمِيعِهَا فِي كُلِّ جِبَالِ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ،

66 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.

66 فَأَوْدَعَهَا جَمِيعُ ٱلسَّامِعِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ قَائِلِينَ: «أَتَرَى مَاذَا يَكُونُ هَذَا ٱلصَّبِيُّ؟». وَكَانَتْ يَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ مَعَهُ.

67 Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:

67 وَٱمْتَلَأَ زَكَرِيَّا أَبُوهُ مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ، وَتَنَبَّأَ قَائِلًا:

68 “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and redeemed His people.

68 «مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِأَنَّهُ ٱفْتَقَدَ وَصَنَعَ فِدَاءً لِشَعْبِهِ،

69 He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David,

69 وَأَقَامَ لَنَا قَرْنَ خَلَاصٍ فِي بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ فَتَاهُ.

70 as He spoke through His holy prophets, those of ages past,

70 كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ بِفَمِ أَنْبِيَائِهِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ مُنْذُ ٱلدَّهْرِ،

71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us,

71 خَلَاصٍ مِنْ أَعْدَائِنَا وَمِنْ أَيْدِي جَمِيعِ مُبْغِضِينَا.

72 to show mercy to our fathers and to remember His holy covenant,

72 لِيَصْنَعَ رَحْمَةً مَعَ آبَائِنَا وَيَذْكُرَ عَهْدَهُ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَ،

73 the oath He swore to our father Abraham, to grant us

73 ٱلْقَسَمَ ٱلَّذِي حَلَفَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبِينَا:

74 deliverance from hostile hands, that we may serve Him without fear,

74 أَنْ يُعْطِيَنَا إِنَّنَا بِلَا خَوْفٍ، مُنْقَذِينَ مِنْ أَيْدِي أَعْدَائِنَا، نَعْبُدُهُ

75 in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our lives.

75 بِقَدَاسَةٍ وَبِرٍّ قُدَّامَهُ جَمِيعَ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِنَا.

76 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,

76 وَأَنْتَ أَيُّهَا ٱلصَّبِيُّ نَبِيَّ ٱلْعَلِيِّ تُدْعَى، لِأَنَّكَ تَتَقَدَّمُ أَمَامَ وَجْهِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِتُعِدَّ طُرُقَهُ.

77 to give to His people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,

77 لِتُعْطِيَ شَعْبَهُ مَعْرِفَةَ ٱلْخَلَاصِ بِمَغْفِرَةِ خَطَايَاهُمْ،

78 because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the Dawn will visit us from on high,

78 بِأَحْشَاءِ رَحْمَةِ إِلَهِنَا ٱلَّتِي بِهَا ٱفْتَقَدَنَا ٱلْمُشْرَقُ مِنَ ٱلْعَلَاءِ.

79 to shine on those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”

79 لِيُضِيءَ عَلَى ٱلْجَالِسِينَ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ وَظِلَالِ ٱلْمَوْتِ، لِكَيْ يَهْدِيَ أَقْدَامَنَا فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلسَّلَامِ».

80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the wilderness until the time of his public appearance to Israel.

80 أَمَّا ٱلصَّبِيُّ فَكَانَ يَنْمُو وَيَتَقَوَّى بِٱلرُّوحِ، وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْبَرَارِي إِلَى يَوْمِ ظُهُورِهِ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ.
