Douay-Rheims
Vulgata
1
Forasmuch
as
many
have
taken
in
hand
to
set
forth
in
order
a
narration
of
the
things
that
have
been
accomplished
among
us,
1
Quoniam
quidem
multi
conati
sunt
ordinare
narrationem,
quæ
in
nobis
completæ
sunt,
rerum:
2
According
as
they
have
delivered
them
unto
us,
who
from
the
beginning
were
eyewitnesses
and
ministers
of
the
word:
2
sicut
tradiderunt
nobis,
qui
ab
initio
ipsi
viderunt,
et
ministri
fuerunt
sermonis:
3
It
seemed
good
to
me
also,
having
diligently
attained
to
all
things
from
the
beginning,
to
write
to
thee
in
order,
most
excellent
Theophilus,
3
visum
est
et
mihi,
assecuto
omnia
a
principio
diligenter,
ex
ordine
tibi
scribere,
optime
Theophile,
4
That
thou
mayest
know
the
verity
of
those
words
in
which
thou
hast
been
instructed.
4
ut
cognoscas
eorum
verborum,
de
quibus
eruditus
es,
veritatem.
5
There
was
in
the
days
of
Herod,
the
king
of
Judea,
a
certain
priest
named
Zachary,
of
the
course
of
Abia:
and
his
wife
was
of
the
daughters
of
Aaron,
and
her
name
Elizabeth.
5
Fuit
in
diebus
Herodis,
regis
Judææ,
sacerdos
quidam
nomine
Zacharias
de
vice
Abia,
et
uxor
illius
de
filiabus
Aaron,
et
nomen
ejus
Elisabeth.
6
And
they
were
both
just
before
God,
walking
in
all
the
commandments
and
justifications
of
the
Lord
without
blame.
6
Erant
autem
justi
ambo
ante
Deum,
incedentes
in
omnibus
mandatis
et
justificationibus
Domini
sine
querela.
7
And
they
had
no
son,
for
that
Elizabeth
was
barren:
and
they
both
were
well
advanced
in
years.
7
Et
non
erat
illis
filius,
eo
quod
esset
Elisabeth
sterilis,
et
ambo
processissent
in
diebus
suis.
8
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
he
executed
the
priestly
function
in
the
order
of
his
course
before
God,
8
Factum
est
autem,
cum
sacerdotio
fungeretur
in
ordine
vicis
suæ
ante
Deum,
9
According
to
the
custom
of
the
priestly
office,
it
was
his
lot
to
offer
incense,
going
into
the
temple
of
the
Lord.
9
secundum
consuetudinem
sacerdotii,
sorte
exiit
ut
incensum
poneret,
ingressus
in
templum
Domini:
10
And
all
the
multitude
of
the
people
was
praying
without,
at
the
hour
of
incense.
10
et
omnis
multitudo
populi
erat
orans
foris
hora
incensi.
11
And
there
appeared
to
him
an
angel
of
the
Lord,
standing
on
the
right
side
of
the
altar
of
incense.
11
Apparuit
autem
illi
angelus
Domini,
stans
a
dextris
altaris
incensi.
12
And
Zachary
seeing
him,
was
troubled:
and
fear
fell
upon
him.
12
Et
Zacharias
turbatus
est
videns,
et
timor
irruit
super
eum.
13
But
the
angel
said
to
him:
Fear
not,
Zachary,
for
thy
prayer
is
heard:
and
thy
wife
Elizabeth
shall
bear
thee
a
son.
And
thou
shalt
call
his
name
John.
13
Ait
autem
ad
illum
angelus:
Ne
timeas,
Zacharia,
quoniam
exaudita
est
deprecatio
tua:
et
uxor
tua
Elisabeth
pariet
tibi
filium,
et
vocabis
nomen
ejus
Joannem:
14
And
thou
shalt
have
joy
and
gladness:
and
many
shall
rejoice
in
his
nativity.
14
et
erit
gaudium
tibi,
et
exsultatio,
et
multi
in
nativitate
ejus
gaudebunt:
15
For
he
shall
be
great
before
the
Lord
and
shall
drink
no
wine
nor
strong
drink:
and
he
shall
be
filled
with
the
Holy
Ghost,
even
from
his
mother's
womb.
15
erit
enim
magnus
coram
Domino:
et
vinum
et
siceram
non
bibet,
et
Spiritu
Sancto
replebitur
adhuc
ex
utero
matris
suæ:
16
And
he
shall
convert
many
of
the
children
of
Israel
to
the
Lord
their
God.
16
et
multos
filiorum
Israël
convertet
ad
Dominum
Deum
ipsorum:
17
And
he
shall
go
before
him
in
the
spirit
and
power
of
Elias:
that
he
may
turn
the
hearts
of
the
fathers
unto
the
children
and
the
incredulous
to
the
wisdom
of
the
just,
to
prepare
unto
the
Lord
a
perfect
people.
17
et
ipse
præcedet
ante
illum
in
spiritu
et
virtute
Eliæ:
ut
convertat
corda
patrum
in
filios,
et
incredulos
ad
prudentiam
justorum,
parare
Domino
plebem
perfectam.
18
And
Zachary
said
to
the
angel:
Whereby
shall
I
know
this?
For
I
am
an
old
man,
and
my
wife
is
advanced
in
years.
18
Et
dixit
Zacharias
ad
angelum:
Unde
hoc
sciam?
ego
enim
sum
senex,
et
uxor
mea
processit
in
diebus
suis.
19
And
the
angel
answering,
said
to
him:
I
am
Gabriel,
who
stand
before
God
and
am
sent
to
speak
to
thee
and
to
bring
thee
these
good
tidings.
19
Et
respondens
angelus
dixit
ei:
Ego
sum
Gabriel,
qui
asto
ante
Deum:
et
missus
sum
loqui
ad
te,
et
hæc
tibi
evangelizare.
20
And
behold,
thou
shalt
be
dumb
and
shalt
not
be
able
to
speak
until
the
day
wherein
these
things
shall
come
to
pass:
because
thou
hast
not
believed
my
words,
which
shall
be
fulfilled
in
their
time.
20
Et
ecce
eris
tacens,
et
non
poteris
loqui
usque
in
diem
quo
hæc
fiant,
pro
eo
quod
non
credidisti
verbis
meis,
quæ
implebuntur
in
tempore
suo.
21
And
the
people
were
waiting
for
Zachary:
and
they
wondered
that
he
tarried
so
long
in
the
temple.
21
Et
erat
plebs
exspectans
Zachariam:
et
mirabantur
quod
tardaret
ipse
in
templo.
22
And
when
he
came
out,
he
could
not
speak
to
them:
and
they
understood
that
he
had
seen
a
vision
in
the
temple.
And
he
made
signs
to
them
and
remained
dumb.
22
Egressus
autem
non
poterat
loqui
ad
illos,
et
cognoverunt
quod
visionem
vidisset
in
templo.
Et
ipse
erat
innuens
illis,
et
permansit
mutus.
23
And
it
came
to
pass,
after
the
days
of
his
office
were
accomplished,
he
departed
to
his
own
house.
23
Et
factum
est,
ut
impleti
sunt
dies
officii
ejus,
abiit
in
domum
suam:
24
And
after
those
days,
Elizabeth
his
wife
conceived
and
hid
herself
five
months,
saying:
24
post
hos
autem
dies
concepit
Elisabeth
uxor
ejus,
et
occultabat
se
mensibus
quinque,
dicens:
25
Thus
hath
the
Lord
dealt
with
me
in
the
days
wherein
he
hath
had
regard
to
take
away
my
reproach
among
men.
25
Quia
sic
fecit
mihi
Dominus
in
diebus,
quibus
respexit
auferre
opprobrium
meum
inter
homines.
26
And
in
the
sixth
month,
the
angel
Gabriel
was
sent
from
God
into
a
city
of
Galilee,
called
Nazareth,
26
In
mense
autem
sexto,
missus
est
angelus
Gabriel
a
Deo
in
civitatem
Galilææ,
cui
nomen
Nazareth,
27
To
a
virgin
espoused
to
a
man
whose
name
was
Joseph,
of
the
house
of
David:
and
the
virgin's
name
was
Mary.
27
ad
virginem
desponsatam
viro,
cui
nomen
erat
Joseph,
de
domo
David:
et
nomen
virginis
Maria.
28
And
the
angel
being
come
in,
said
unto
her:
Hail,
full
of
grace,
the
Lord
is
with
thee:
blessed
art
thou
among
women.
28
Et
ingressus
angelus
ad
eam
dixit:
Ave
gratia
plena:
Dominus
tecum:
benedicta
tu
in
mulieribus.
29
Who
having
heard,
was
troubled
at
his
saying
and
thought
with
herself
what
manner
of
salutation
this
should
be.
29
Quæ
cum
audisset,
turbata
est
in
sermone
ejus,
et
cogitabat
qualis
esset
ista
salutatio.
30
And
the
angel
said
to
her:
Fear
not,
Mary,
for
thou
hast
found
grace
with
God.
30
Et
ait
angelus
ei:
Ne
timeas,
Maria:
invenisti
enim
gratiam
apud
Deum.
31
Behold
thou
shalt
conceive
in
thy
womb
and
shalt
bring
forth
a
son:
and
thou
shalt
call
his
name
Jesus.
31
Ecce
concipies
in
utero,
et
paries
filium,
et
vocabis
nomen
ejus
Jesum:
32
He
shall
be
great
and
shall
be
called
the
Son
of
the
Most
High.
And
the
Lord
God
shall
give
unto
him
the
throne
of
David
his
father:
and
he
shall
reign
in
the
house
of
Jacob
for
ever.
32
hic
erit
magnus,
et
Filius
Altissimi
vocabitur,
et
dabit
illi
Dominus
Deus
sedem
David
patris
ejus:
et
regnabit
in
domo
Jacob
in
æternum,
33
And
of
his
kingdom
there
shall
be
no
end.
33
et
regni
ejus
non
erit
finis.
34
And
Mary
said
to
the
angel:
How
shall
this
be
done,
because
I
know
not
man?
34
Dixit
autem
Maria
ad
angelum:
Quomodo
fiet
istud,
quoniam
virum
non
cognosco?
35
And
the
angel
answering,
said
to
her:
The
Holy
Ghost
shall
come
upon
thee
and
the
power
of
the
Most
High
shall
overshadow
thee.
And
therefore
also
the
Holy
which
shall
be
born
of
thee
shall
be
called
the
Son
of
God.
35
Et
respondens
angelus
dixit
ei:
Spiritus
Sanctus
superveniet
in
te,
et
virtus
Altissimi
obumbrabit
tibi.
Ideoque
et
quod
nascetur
ex
te
sanctum,
vocabitur
Filius
Dei.
36
And
behold
thy
cousin
Elizabeth,
she
also
hath
conceived
a
son
in
her
old
age:
and
this
is
the
sixth
month
with
her
that
is
called
barren.
36
Et
ecce
Elisabeth
cognata
tua,
et
ipsa
concepit
filium
in
senectute
sua:
et
hic
mensis
sextus
est
illi,
quæ
vocatur
sterilis:
37
Because
no
word
shall
be
impossible
with
God.
37
quia
non
erit
impossibile
apud
Deum
omne
verbum.
38
And
Mary
said:
Behold
the
handmaid
of
the
Lord:
be
it
done
to
me
according
to
thy
word.
And
the
angel
departed
from
her.
38
Dixit
autem
Maria:
Ecce
ancilla
Domini:
fiat
mihi
secundum
verbum
tuum.
Et
discessit
ab
illa
angelus.
39
And
Mary
rising
up
in
those
days,
went
into
the
hill
country
with
haste
into
a
city
of
Juda.
39
Exsurgens
autem
Maria
in
diebus
illis,
abiit
in
montana
cum
festinatione,
in
civitatem
Juda:
40
And
she
entered
into
the
house
of
Zachary
and
saluted
Elizabeth.
40
et
intravit
in
domum
Zachariæ,
et
salutavit
Elisabeth.
41
And
it
came
to
pass
that
when
Elizabeth
heard
the
salutation
of
Mary,
the
infant
leaped
in
her
womb.
And
Elizabeth
was
filled
with
the
Holy
Ghost.
41
Et
factum
est,
ut
audivit
salutationem
Mariæ
Elisabeth,
exsultavit
infans
in
utero
ejus:
et
repleta
est
Spiritu
Sancto
Elisabeth:
42
And
she
cried
out
with
a
loud
voice
and
said:
Blessed
art
thou
among
women
and
blessed
is
the
fruit
of
thy
womb.
42
et
exclamavit
voce
magna,
et
dixit:
Benedicta
tu
inter
mulieres,
et
benedictus
fructus
ventris
tui.
43
And
whence
is
this
to
me
that
the
mother
of
my
Lord
should
come
to
me?
43
Et
unde
hoc
mihi,
ut
veniat
mater
Domini
mei
ad
me?
44
For
behold
as
soon
as
the
voice
of
thy
salutation
sounded
in
my
ears,
the
infant
in
my
womb
leaped
for
joy.
44
Ecce
enim
ut
facta
est
vox
salutationis
tuæ
in
auribus
meis,
exsultavit
in
gaudio
infans
in
utero
meo.
45
And
blessed
art
thou
that
hast
believed,
because
those
things
shall
be
accomplished
that
were
spoken
to
thee
by
the
Lord.
45
Et
beata,
quæ
credidisti,
quoniam
perficientur
ea,
quæ
dicta
sunt
tibi
a
Domino.
46
And
Mary
said:
My
soul
doth
magnify
the
Lord.
46
Et
ait
Maria:
Magnificat
anima
mea
Dominum:
47
And
my
spirit
hath
rejoiced
in
God
my
Saviour.
47
et
exsultavit
spiritus
meus
in
Deo
salutari
meo.
48
Because
he
hath
regarded
the
humility
of
his
handmaid:
for
behold
from
henceforth
all
generations
shall
call
me
blessed.
48
Quia
respexit
humilitatem
ancillæ
suæ:
ecce
enim
ex
hoc
beatam
me
dicent
omnes
generationes,
49
Because
he
that
is
mighty
hath
done
great
things
to
me:
and
holy
is
his
name.
49
quia
fecit
mihi
magna
qui
potens
est:
et
sanctum
nomen
ejus,
50
And
his
mercy
is
from
generation
unto
generations,
to
them
that
fear
him.
50
et
misericordia
ejus
a
progenie
in
progenies
timentibus
eum.
51
He
hath
shewed
might
in
his
arm:
he
hath
scattered
the
proud
in
the
conceit
of
their
heart.
51
Fecit
potentiam
in
brachio
suo:
dispersit
superbos
mente
cordis
sui.
52
He
hath
put
down
the
mighty
from
their
seat
and
hath
exalted
the
humble.
52
Deposuit
potentes
de
sede,
et
exaltavit
humiles.
53
He
hath
filled
the
hungry
with
good
things:
and
the
rich
he
hath
sent
empty
away.
53
Esurientes
implevit
bonis:
et
divites
dimisit
inanes.
54
He
hath
received
Israel
his
servant,
being
mindful
of
his
mercy.
54
Suscepit
Israël
puerum
suum,
recordatus
misericordiæ
suæ:
55
As
he
spoke
to
our
fathers:
to
Abraham
and
to
his
seed
for
ever.
55
sicut
locutus
est
ad
patres
nostros,
Abraham
et
semini
ejus
in
sæcula.
56
And
Mary
abode
with
her
about
three
months.
And
she
returned
to
her
own
house.
56
Mansit
autem
Maria
cum
illa
quasi
mensibus
tribus:
et
reversa
est
in
domum
suam.
57
Now
Elizabeth's
full
time
of
being
delivered
was
come:
and
she
brought
forth
a
son.
57
Elisabeth
autem
impletum
est
tempus
pariendi,
et
peperit
filium.
58
And
her
neighbors
and
kinsfolks
heard
that
the
Lord
had
shewed
his
great
mercy
towards
her:
and
they
congratulated
with
her.
58
Et
audierunt
vicini
et
cognati
ejus
quia
magnificavit
Dominus
misericordiam
suam
cum
illa,
et
congratulabantur
ei.
59
And
it
came
to
pass
that
on
the
eighth
day
they
came
to
circumcise
the
child:
and
they
called
him
by
his
father's
name
Zachary.
59
Et
factum
est
in
die
octavo,
venerunt
circumcidere
puerum,
et
vocabant
eum
nomine
patris
sui
Zachariam.
60
And
his
mother
answering,
said:
Not
so.
But
he
shall
be
called
John.
60
Et
respondens
mater
ejus,
dixit:
Nequaquam,
sed
vocabitur
Joannes.
61
And
they
said
to
her:
There
is
none
of
thy
kindred
that
is
called
by
this
name.
61
Et
dixerunt
ad
illam:
Quia
nemo
est
in
cognatione
tua,
qui
vocetur
hoc
nomine.
62
And
they
made
signs
to
his
father,
how
he
would
have
him
called.
62
Innuebant
autem
patri
ejus,
quem
vellet
vocari
eum.
63
And
demanding
a
writing
table,
he
wrote,
saying:
John
is
his
name.
And
they
all
wondered.
63
Et
postulans
pugillarem
scripsit,
dicens:
Joannes
est
nomen
ejus.
Et
mirati
sunt
universi.
64
And
immediately
his
mouth
was
opened
and
his
tongue
loosed:
and
he
spoke,
blessing
God.
64
Apertum
est
autem
illico
os
ejus,
et
lingua
ejus,
et
loquebatur
benedicens
Deum.
65
And
fear
came
upon
all
their
neighbours:
and
all
these
things
were
noised
abroad
over
all
the
hill
country
of
Judea.
65
Et
factus
est
timor
super
omnes
vicinos
eorum:
et
super
omnia
montana
Judææ
divulgabantur
omnia
verba
hæc:
66
And
all
they
that
had
heard
them
laid
them
up
in
their
heart,
saying:
What
an
one,
think
ye,
shall
this
child
be?
For
the
hand
of
the
Lord
was
with
him.
66
et
posuerunt
omnes
qui
audierant
in
corde
suo,
dicentes:
Quis,
putas,
puer
iste
erit?
etenim
manus
Domini
erat
cum
illo.
67
And
Zachary
his
father
was
filled
with
the
Holy
Ghost.
And
he
prophesied,
saying:
67
Et
Zacharias
pater
ejus
repletus
est
Spiritu
Sancto:
et
prophetavit,
dicens:
68
Blessed
be
the
Lord
God
of
Israel:
because
he
hath
visited
and
wrought
the
redemption
of
his
people.
68
Benedictus
Dominus
Deus
Israël,
quia
visitavit,
et
fecit
redemptionem
plebis
suæ:
69
And
hath
raised
up
an
horn
of
salvation
to
us,
in
the
house
of
David
his
servant.
69
et
erexit
cornu
salutis
nobis
in
domo
David
pueri
sui,
70
As
he
spoke
by
the
mouth
of
his
holy
prophets,
who
are
from
the
beginning.
70
sicut
locutus
est
per
os
sanctorum,
qui
a
sæculo
sunt,
prophetarum
ejus:
71
Salvation
from
our
enemies
and
from
the
hand
of
all
that
hate
us.
71
salutem
ex
inimicis
nostris,
et
de
manu
omnium
qui
oderunt
nos:
72
To
perform
mercy
to
our
fathers
and
to
remember
his
holy
testament.
72
ad
faciendam
misericordiam
cum
patribus
nostris:
et
memorari
testamenti
sui
sancti:
73
The
oath,
which
he
swore
to
Abraham
our
father,
that
he
would
grant
to
us.
73
jusjurandum,
quod
juravit
ad
Abraham
patrem
nostrum,
daturum
se
nobis
74
That
being
delivered
from
the
hand
of
our
enemies,
we
may
serve
him
without
fear:
74
ut
sine
timore,
de
manu
inimicorum
nostrorum
liberati,
serviamus
illi
75
In
holiness
and
justice
before
him,
all
our
days.
75
in
sanctitate
et
justitia
coram
ipso,
omnibus
diebus
nostris.
76
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:
76
Et
tu
puer,
propheta
Altissimi
vocaberis:
præibis
enim
ante
faciem
Domini
parare
vias
ejus,
77
To
give
knowledge
of
salvation
to
his
people,
unto
the
remission
of
their
sins.
77
ad
dandam
scientiam
salutis
plebi
ejus
in
remissionem
peccatorum
eorum
78
Through
the
bowels
of
the
mercy
of
our
God,
in
which
the
Orient
from
on
high
hath
visited
us:
78
per
viscera
misericordiæ
Dei
nostri,
in
quibus
visitavit
nos,
oriens
ex
alto:
79
To
enlighten
them
that
sit
in
darkness
and
in
the
shadow
of
death:
to
direct
our
feet
into
the
way
of
peace.
79
illuminare
his
qui
in
tenebris
et
in
umbra
mortis
sedent:
ad
dirigendos
pedes
nostros
in
viam
pacis.
80
And
the
child
grew
and
was
strengthened
in
spirit:
and
was
in
the
deserts
until
the
day
of
his
manifestation
to
Israel.
80
Puer
autem
crescebat,
et
confortabatur
spiritu:
et
erat
in
desertis
usque
in
diem
ostensionis
suæ
ad
Israël.
