- Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
- And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
- And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
- And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
- And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.

- 八日目に, その 子に 割禮を 施すために 來た 人¿は, 父の 名を 取って ザカリア と 名付けようとした.
- ところが, 母は, 「いいえ, 名は ヨハネ としなければなりません 」と 言った.
- しかし 人¿は, 「あなたの 親類には, そういう 名の 付いた 人はだれもいない 」と 言い,

- And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
- And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
- And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God.
- And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.
- And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.

- 父親に, 「この 子に 何と 名を 付けたいか 」と 手振りで 尋ねた.
- 父親は 字を 書く 板を 出させて, 「この 子の 名は ヨハネ 」と 書いたので, 人¿は 皆驚いた.
- すると, たちまち ザカリア は 口が 開き, 舌がほどけ, 神を 贊美し 始めた.
- 近所の 人¿は 皆恐れを 感じた. そして, このことすべてが, ユダヤ の 山里中で 話題になった.
- 聞いた 人¿は 皆これを 心に 留め, 「いったい, この 子はどんな 人になるのだろうか 」と 言った. この 子には 主の 力が 及んでいたのである.

- And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
- Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
- And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
- As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
- That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
|
- 父 ザカリア は 聖靈に 滿たされ, こう 預言した.
- 「ほめたたえよ, イスラエル の 神である 主を. 主はその 民を 訪れて 解放し,
- 我らのために 救いの 角を, /僕 ダビデ の 家から 起こされた.
- 昔から 聖なる 預言者たちの 口を 通して /語られたとおりに.
- それは, 我らの 敵, /すべて 我らを 憎む 者の 手からの 救い.
|
- To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
- The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
- That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
- In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
- And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
|
- 主は 我らの 先祖を 憐れみ, /その 聖なる 契約を 覺えていてくださる.
- これは 我らの 父 アブラハム に 立てられた 誓い. こうして 我らは,
- 敵の 手から 救われ, /恐れなく 主に 仕える,
- 生涯, 主の 御前に 淸く 正しく.
- 幼子よ, お 前はいと 高き 方の 預言者と 呼ばれる. 主に 先立って 行き, その 道を 整え,
|
- To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
- Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
- To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
- And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
|
- 主の 民に 罪の 赦しによる 救いを /知らせるからである.
- これは 我らの 神の 憐れみの 心による. この 憐れみによって, /高い 所からあけぼのの 光が 我らを 訪れ,
- 暗闇と 死の 陰に 座している 者たちを 照らし, /我らの 步みを 平和の 道に 導く. 」
- 幼子は 身も 心も 健やかに 育ち, イスラエル の 人¿の 前に 現れるまで 荒れ 野にいた.
