Lev.26.14

"But if you refuse to obey me and won't observe my commandments,

Lev.26.14

"'But if you will not listen to me and carry out all these commands,

Lev.26.14

"But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments,

Lev.26.14

"However, if you do not listen to me or obey my commands,

Lev.26.15

despising my decrees and holding my laws in contempt by your disobedience, making a shambles of my covenant,

Lev.26.15

and if you reject my decrees and abhor my laws and fail to carry out all my commands and so violate my covenant,

Lev.26.15

and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant,

Lev.26.15

and if you break my covenant by rejecting my laws and treating my regulations with contempt,

Lev.26.16

I'll step in and pour on the trouble: debilitating disease, high fevers, blindness, your life leaking out bit by bit. You'll plant seed but your enemies will eat the crops.

Lev.26.16

then I will do this to you: I will bring upon you sudden terror, wasting diseases and fever that will destroy your sight and drain away your life. You will plant seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it.

Lev.26.16

I also will do this to you: I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

Lev.26.16

I will punish you. You will suffer from sudden terrors, with wasting diseases, and with burning fevers, causing your eyes to fail and your life to ebb away. You will plant your crops in vain because your enemies will eat them.

Lev.26.17

I'll turn my back on you and stand by while your enemies defeat you. People who hate you will govern you. You'll run scared even when there's no one chasing you.

Lev.26.17

I will set my face against you so that you will be defeated by your enemies; those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee even when no one is pursuing you.

Lev.26.17

I will set My face against you, and you shall be defeated by your enemies. 1 Those who hate you shall reign over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you.

Lev.26.17

I will turn against you, and you will be defeated by all your enemies. They will rule over you, and you will run even when no one is chasing you!

Lev.26.18

"And if none of this works in getting your attention, I'll discipline you seven times over for your sins.

Lev.26.18

"'If after all this you will not listen to me, I will punish you for your sins seven times over.

Lev.26.18

"And after all this, if you do not obey Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.

Lev.26.18

"And if, in spite of this, you still disobey me, I will punish you for your sins seven times over.

Lev.26.19

I'll break your strong pride: I'll make the skies above you like a sheet of tin and the ground under you like cast iron.

Lev.26.19

I will break down your stubborn pride and make the sky above you like iron and the ground beneath you like bronze.

Lev.26.19

I will break the pride of your power; I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze.

Lev.26.19

I will break down your arrogant spirit by making the skies above as unyielding as iron and the earth beneath as hard as bronze.

Lev.26.20

No matter how hard you work, nothing will come of it: No crops out of the ground, no fruit off the trees.

Lev.26.20

Your strength will be spent in vain, because your soil will not yield its crops, nor will the trees of the land yield their fruit.

Lev.26.20

And your strength shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield its produce, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.

Lev.26.20

All your work will be for nothing, for your land will yield no crops, and your trees will bear no fruit.

Lev.26.21

"If you defy me and refuse to listen, your punishment will be seven times more than your sins:

Lev.26.21

"'If you remain hostile toward me and refuse to listen to me, I will multiply your afflictions seven times over, as your sins deserve.

Lev.26.21

"Then, if you walk contrary to Me, and are not willing to obey Me, I will bring on you seven times more plagues, according to your sins.

Lev.26.21

"If even then you remain hostile toward me and refuse to obey, I will inflict you with seven more disasters for your sins.

Lev.26.22

I'll set wild animals on you; they'll rob you of your children, kill your cattle, and decimate your numbers until you'll think you are living in a ghost town.

Lev.26.22

I will send wild animals against you, and they will rob you of your children, destroy your cattle and make you so few in number that your roads will be deserted.

Lev.26.22

I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number; and your highways shall be desolate.

Lev.26.22

I will release wild animals that will kill your children and destroy your cattle, so your numbers will dwindle and your roads will be deserted.

Lev.26.23

"And if even this doesn't work and you refuse my discipline and continue your defiance,

Lev.26.23

"'If in spite of these things you do not accept my correction but continue to be hostile toward me,

Lev.26.23

"And if by these things you are not reformed by Me, but walk contrary to Me,

Lev.26.23

"And if you fail to learn a lesson from this and continue your hostility toward me,

Lev.26.24

then it will be my turn to defy you. I, yes I, will punish you for your sins seven times over:

Lev.26.24

I myself will be hostile toward you and will afflict you for your sins seven times over.

Lev.26.24

then I also will walk contrary to you, and I will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

Lev.26.24

then I myself will be hostile toward you, and I will personally strike you seven times over for your sins.

Lev.26.25

I'll let war loose on you, avenging your breaking of the covenant; when you huddle in your cities for protection, I'll send a deadly epidemic on you and you'll be helpless before your enemies;

Lev.26.25

And I will bring the sword upon you to avenge the breaking of the covenant. When you withdraw into your cities, I will send a plague among you, and you will be given into enemy hands.

Lev.26.25

And I will bring a sword against you that will execute the vengeance of the covenant; when you are gathered together within your cities I will send pestilence among you; and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

Lev.26.25

I will send armies against you to carry out these covenant threats. If you flee to your cities, I will send a plague to destroy you there, and you will be conquered by your enemies.

Lev.26.26

when I cut off your bread supply, ten women will bake bread in one oven and ration it out. You'll eat, but barely--no one will get enough.

Lev.26.26

When I cut off your supply of bread, ten women will be able to bake your bread in one oven, and they will dole out the bread by weight. You will eat, but you will not be satisfied.

Lev.26.26

When I have cut off your supply of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall bring back your bread by weight, and you shall eat and not be satisfied.

Lev.26.26

I will completely destroy your food supply, so the bread from one oven will have to be stretched to feed ten families. They will ration your food by weight, and even if you have food to eat, you will not be satisfied.

Lev.26.27

"And if this--even this!-doesn't work and you still won't listen, still defy me,

Lev.26.27

"'If in spite of this you still do not listen to me but continue to be hostile toward me,

Lev.26.27

"And after all this, if you do not obey Me, but walk contrary to Me,

Lev.26.27

"If after this you still refuse to listen and still remain hostile toward me,

Lev.26.28

I'll have had enough and in hot anger will defy you, punishing you for your sins seven times over:

Lev.26.28

then in my anger I will be hostile toward you, and I myself will punish you for your sins seven times over.

Lev.26.28

then I also will walk contrary to you in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

Lev.26.28

then I will give full vent to my hostility. I will punish you seven times over for your sins.

Lev.26.29

famine will be so severe that you'll end up cooking and eating your sons in stews and your daughters in barbecues;

Lev.26.29

You will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters.

Lev.26.29

You shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters.

Lev.26.29

You will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters.

Lev.26.30

I'll smash your sex-and-religion shrines and all the paraphernalia that goes with them, and then stack your corpses and the idol-corpses in the same piles--I'll abhor you;

Lev.26.30

I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars and pile your dead bodies on the lifeless forms of your idols, and I will abhor you.

Lev.26.30

I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and cast your carcasses on the lifeless forms of your idols; and My soul shall abhor you.

Lev.26.30

I will destroy your pagan shrines and cut down your incense altars. I will leave your corpses piled up beside your lifeless idols, and I will despise you.

Lev.26.31

I'll turn your cities into rubble; I'll clean out your sanctuaries; I'll hold my nose at the "pleasing aroma" of your sacrifices.

Lev.26.31

I will turn your cities into ruins and lay waste your sanctuaries, and I will take no delight in the pleasing aroma of your offerings.

Lev.26.31

I will lay your cities waste and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the fragrance of your sweet aromas.

Lev.26.31

I will make your cities desolate and destroy your places of worship, and I will take no pleasure in your offerings of incense.

Lev.26.32

I'll turn your land into a lifeless moonscape--your enemies who come in to take over will be shocked at what they see.

Lev.26.32

I will lay waste the land, so that your enemies who live there will be appalled.

Lev.26.32

I will bring the land to desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.

Lev.26.32

Yes, I myself will devastate your land. Your enemies who come to occupy it will be utterly shocked at the destruction they see.

Lev.26.33

I'll scatter you all over the world and keep after you with the point of my sword in your backs. There'll be nothing left in your land, nothing going on in your cities.

Lev.26.33

I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out my sword and pursue you. Your land will be laid waste, and your cities will lie in ruins.

Lev.26.33

I will scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you; your land shall be desolate and your cities waste.

Lev.26.33

I will scatter you among the nations and attack you with my own weapons. Your land will become desolate, and your cities will lie in ruins.

Lev.26.34

With you gone and dispersed in the countries of your enemies, the land, empty of you, will finally get a break and enjoy its Sabbath years.

Lev.26.34

Then the land will enjoy its sabbath years all the time that it lies desolate and you are in the country of your enemies; then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths.

Lev.26.34

Then the land shall enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies' land; then the land shall rest and enjoy its sabbaths.

Lev.26.34

Then at last the land will make up for its missed Sabbath years as it lies desolate during your years of exile in the land of your enemies. Then the land will finally rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.

Lev.26.35

All the time it's left there empty, the land will get rest, the Sabbaths it never got when you lived there.

Lev.26.35

All the time that it lies desolate, the land will have the rest it did not have during the sabbaths you lived in it.

Lev.26.35

As long as it lies desolate it shall rest-- for the time it did not rest on your sabbaths when you dwelt in it.

Lev.26.35

As the land lies in ruins, it will take the rest you never allowed it to take every seventh year while you lived in it.

Lev.26.36

"As for those among you still alive, I'll give them over to fearful timidity--even the rustle of a leaf will throw them into a panic. They'll run here and there, back and forth, as if running for their lives even though no one is after them,

Lev.26.36

"'As for those of you who are left, I will make their hearts so fearful in the lands of their enemies that the sound of a windblown leaf will put them to flight. They will run as though fleeing from the sword, and they will fall, even though no one is pursuing them.

Lev.26.36

"And as for those of you who are left, I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; the sound of a shaken leaf shall cause them to flee; they shall flee as though fleeing from a sword, and they shall fall when no one pursues.

Lev.26.36

"And for those of you who survive, I will demoralize you in the land of your enemies far away. You will live there in such constant fear that the sound of a leaf driven by the wind will send you fleeing. You will run as though chased by a warrior with a sword, and you will fall even when no one is pursuing you.

Lev.26.37

tripping and falling over one another in total confusion. You won't stand a chance against an enemy.

Lev.26.37

They will stumble over one another as though fleeing from the sword, even though no one is pursuing them. So you will not be able to stand before your enemies.

Lev.26.37

They shall stumble over one another, as it were before a sword, when no one pursues; and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

Lev.26.37

Yes, though no one is chasing you, you will stumble over each other in flight, as though fleeing in battle. You will have no power to stand before your enemies.

Lev.26.38

You'll perish among the nations; the land of your enemies will eat you up.

Lev.26.38

You will perish among the nations; the land of your enemies will devour you.

Lev.26.38

You shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

Lev.26.38

You will die among the foreign nations and be devoured in the land of your enemies.

Lev.26.39

Any who are left will slowly rot away in the enemy lands. Rot. And all because of their sins, their sins compounded by their ancestors' sins.

Lev.26.39

Those of you who are left will waste away in the lands of their enemies because of their sins; also because of their fathers' sins they will waste away.

Lev.26.39

And those of you who are left shall waste away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; also in their fathers' iniquities, which are with them, they shall waste away.

Lev.26.39

Those still left alive will rot away in enemy lands because of their sins and the sins of their ancestors.

Lev.26.40

"On the other hand, if they confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors, their treacherous betrayal, the defiance

Lev.26.40

"'But if they will confess their sins and the sins of their fathers-their treachery against me and their hostility toward me,

Lev.26.40

"But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, with their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, and that they also have walked contrary to Me,

Lev.26.40

"But at last my people will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors for betraying me and being hostile toward me.

Lev.26.41

that set off my defiance that sent them off into enemy lands; if by some chance they soften their hard hearts and make amends for their sin,

Lev.26.41

which made me hostile toward them so that I sent them into the land of their enemies-then when their uncircumcised hearts are humbled and they pay for their sin,

Lev.26.41

and that I also have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if their uncircumcised hearts are humbled, and they accept their guilt--

Lev.26.41

Finally, when I have given full expression to my hostility and have brought them to the land of their enemies, then at last their disobedient hearts will be humbled, and they will pay for their sins.

Lev.26.42

I'll remember my covenant with Jacob, I'll remember my covenant with Isaac, and, yes, I'll remember my covenant with Abraham. And I'll remember the land.

Lev.26.42

I will remember my covenant with Jacob and my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.

Lev.26.42

then I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham I will remember; I will remember the land.

Lev.26.42

Then I will remember my covenant with Jacob, with Isaac, and with Abraham, and I will remember the land.

Lev.26.43

"The land will be empty of them and enjoy its Sabbaths while they're gone. They'll pay for their sins because they refused my laws and treated my decrees with contempt.

Lev.26.43

For the land will be deserted by them and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. They will pay for their sins because they rejected my laws and abhorred my decrees.

Lev.26.43

The land also shall be left empty by them, and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them; they will accept their guilt, because they despised My judgments and because their soul abhorred My statutes.

Lev.26.43

And the land will enjoy its years of Sabbath rest as it lies deserted. At last the people will receive the due punishment for their sins, for they rejected my regulations and despised my laws.

Lev.26.44

But in spite of their behavior, while they are among their enemies I won't reject or abhor or destroy them completely. I won't break my covenant with them: I am GOD, their God.

Lev.26.44

Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them or abhor them so as to destroy them completely, breaking my covenant with them. I am the LORD their God.

Lev.26.44

Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, nor shall I abhor them, to utterly destroy them and break My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God.

Lev.26.44

"But despite all this, I will not utterly reject or despise them while they are in exile in the land of their enemies. I will not cancel my covenant with them by wiping them out. I, the LORD, am their God.

Lev.26.45

For their sake I will remember the covenant with their ancestors whom I, with all the nations watching, brought out of Egypt in order to be their God. I am GOD."

Lev.26.45

But for their sake I will remember the covenant with their ancestors whom I brought out of Egypt in the sight of the nations to be their God. I am the LORD.'"

Lev.26.45

But for their sake I will remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am the LORD."'

Lev.26.45

I will remember my ancient covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of Egypt while all the nations watched. I, the LORD, am their God."

Lev.26.46

These are the decrees, laws, and instructions that GOD established between himself and the People of Israel through Moses at Mount Sinai.

Lev.26.46

These are the decrees, the laws and the regulations that the LORD established on Mount Sinai between himself and the Israelites through Moses.

Lev.27.1

The LORD said to Moses,

"Speak to the People of Israel. Tell them: If anyone wants to vow the value of a person to the service of GOD,

Lev.27.2

"Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'If anyone makes a special vow to dedicate persons to the LORD by giving equivalent values,

Lev.27.2

"Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: "When a man consecrates by a vow certain persons to the LORD, according to your valuation,

Lev.27.2

"Give the following instructions to the Israelites: If you make a special vow to dedicate someone to the LORD by paying the value of that person,

Lev.27.7

A man older than sixty is valued at fifteen pieces of silver; a woman older than sixty is valued at ten pieces of silver.

Lev.27.8

If anyone is too poor to pay the stated amount, he is to present the person to the priest, who will then set the value for him according to what the person making the vow can afford.

Lev.27.8

If anyone making the vow is too poor to pay the specified amount, he is to present the person to the priest, who will set the value for him according to what the man making the vow can afford.

Lev.27.8

If you desire to make such a vow but cannot afford to pay the prescribed amount, go to the priest and he will evaluate your ability to pay. You will then pay the amount decided by the priest.

Lev.27.9

"If he vowed an animal that is acceptable as an offering to GOD, the animal is given to GOD and becomes the property of the Sanctuary.

Lev.27.9

"'If what he vowed is an animal that is acceptable as an offering to the LORD, such an animal given to the LORD becomes holy.

Lev.27.9

"If it is an animal that men may bring as an offering to the LORD, all that anyone gives to the LORD shall be holy.

Lev.27.9

"If your vow involves giving a clean animal--one that is acceptable as an offering to the LORD--then your gift to the LORD will be considered holy.

Lev.27.10

He shall not substitute it or exchange it, good for bad or bad for good; and if he at all exchanges animal for animal, then both it and the one exchanged for it shall be holy.

Lev.27.10

The animal should never be exchanged or substituted for another--neither a good animal for a bad one nor a bad animal for a good one. But if such an exchange is in fact made, then both the original animal and the substitute will be considered holy.

Lev.27.11

If what he vowed is a ritually unclean animal, one that is not acceptable as an offering to GOD, the animal must be shown to the priest,

But if your vow involves an unclean animal--one that is not acceptable as an offering to the LORD--then you must bring the animal to the priest.

Lev.27.12

who will set its value, either high or low. Whatever the priest sets will be its value.

Lev.27.12

who will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, that is what it will be.

Lev.27.12

and the priest shall set a value for it, whether it is good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be.

Lev.27.12

He will assess its value, and his assessment will be final.

Lev.27.14

"If a man dedicates his house to GOD, into the possession of the Sanctuary, the priest assesses its value, setting it either high or low. Whatever value the priest sets, that's what it is.

Lev.27.14

"'If a man dedicates his house as something holy to the LORD, the priest will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, so it will remain.

Lev.27.14

Lev.27.14

"If you dedicate a house to the LORD, the priest must come to assess its value. The priest's assessment will be final.

Lev.27.15

If the man wants to buy it back, he must add twenty percent to its price and then it's his again.

Lev.27.15

If the man who dedicates his house redeems it, he must add a fifth to its value, and the house will again become his.

Lev.27.15

If he who dedicated it wants to redeem his house, then he must add one-fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.

Lev.27.15

If you wish to redeem the house, you must pay the value set by the priest, plus 20 percent. Then the house will again belong to you.

Lev.27.16

But if he dedicates it after the Jubilee, the priest will compute the value according to the years left until the next Jubilee, reducing the value proportionately.

Lev.27.18

But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, the priest will determine the value according to the number of years that remain until the next Year of Jubilee, and its set value will be reduced.

Lev.27.22

"If you dedicate to the LORD a field that you have purchased but which is not part of your ancestral property,

the priest will compute its proportionate value in relation to the next year of Jubilee. The man must pay its value on the spot as something that is now holy to GOD, belonging to the Sanctuary.

Lev.27.23

the priest will determine its value up to the Year of Jubilee, and the man must pay its value on that day as something holy to the LORD.

"'But nothing that a man owns and devotes to the LORD -whether man or animal or family land-may be sold or redeemed; everything so devoted is most holy to the LORD.

Luke.1.1

Forsooth for many men endeavoured to ordain the telling of things, which be filled in us. So many others have tried their hand at putting together a story of the wonderful harvest of Scripture and history that took place among us,

Luke.1.1

Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,

Luke.1.1

Inasmuch as many have taken in hand to set in order a narrative of those things which have been fulfilled among us,

Luke.1.1

Most honorable Theophilus: Many people have written accounts about the events that took place among us.

Luke.1.2

using reports handed down by the original eyewitnesses who served this Word with their very lives.

Luke.1.2

just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.

Luke.1.2

just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word delivered them to us,

Luke.1.2

They used as their source material the reports circulating among us from the early disciples and other eyewitnesses of what God has done in fulfillment of his promises.

Luke.1.3

Since I have investigated all the reports in close detail, starting from the story's beginning, I decided to write it all out for you, most honorable Theophilus,

Luke.1.3

Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,

Luke.1.3

it seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write to you an orderly account, most excellent Theophilus,

Luke.1.3

Having carefully investigated all of these accounts from the beginning, I have decided to write a careful summary for you,

Luke.1.4

so you can know beyond the shadow of a doubt the reliability of what you were taught.

Luke.1.4

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

Luke.1.4

that you may know the certainty of those things in which you were instructed.

Luke.1.4

to reassure you of the truth of all you were taught.

Luke.1.5

During the rule of Herod, King of Judea, there was a priest assigned service in the regiment of Abijah. His name was Zachariah. His wife was descended from the daughters of Aaron. Her name was Elizabeth.

Luke.1.5

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

Luke.1.5

There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

Luke.1.5

It all begins with a Jewish priest, Zechariah, who lived when Herod was king of Judea. Zechariah was a member of the priestly order of Abijah. His wife, Elizabeth, was also from the priestly line of Aaron.

Luke.1.6

Together they lived honorably before God, careful in keeping to the ways of the commandments and enjoying a clear conscience before God.

Luke.1.6

Both of them were upright in the sight of God, observing all the Lord's commandments and regulations blamelessly.

Luke.1.6

And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

Luke.1.6

Zechariah and Elizabeth were righteous in God's eyes, careful to obey all of the Lord's commandments and regulations.

Luke.1.7

But they were childless because Elizabeth could never conceive, and now they were quite old.

Luke.1.7

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

Luke.1.7

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

Luke.1.7

They had no children because Elizabeth was barren, and now they were both very old.

Luke.1.8

It so happened that as Zachariah was carrying out his priestly duties before God, working the shift assigned to his regiment,

Luke.1.8

Once when Zechariah's division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,

Luke.1.8

So it was, that while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his division,

Luke.1.8

One day Zechariah was serving God in the Temple, for his order was on duty that week.

Luke.1.9

it came his one turn in life to enter the sanctuary of God and burn incense.

Luke.1.9

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

Luke.1.9

according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot fell to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.

Luke.1.9

As was the custom of the priests, he was chosen by lot to enter the sanctuary and burn incense in the Lord's presence.

Luke.1.10

The congregation was gathered and praying outside the Temple at the hour of the incense offering.

Luke.1.10

And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside.

Luke.1.10

And the whole multitude of the people was praying outside at the hour of incense.

Luke.1.10

While the incense was being burned, a great crowd stood outside, praying.

Luke.1.11

Unannounced, an angel of God appeared just to the right of the altar of incense.

Luke.1.11

Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.

Luke.1.11

Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

Luke.1.11

Zechariah was in the sanctuary when an angel of the Lord appeared, standing to the right of the incense altar.

Luke.1.12

Zachariah was paralyzed in fear.

Luke.1.12

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

Luke.1.12

And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

Luke.1.12

Zechariah was overwhelmed with fear.

Luke.1.13

But the angel reassured him, "Don't fear, Zachariah. Your prayer has been heard. Elizabeth, your wife, will bear a son by you. You are to name him John.

Luke.1.13

But the angel said to him: "Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John.

Luke.1.13

But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

Luke.1.13

But the angel said, "Don't be afraid, Zechariah! For God has heard your prayer, and your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son! And you are to name him John.

Luke.1.14

You're going to leap like a gazelle for joy, and not only you--many will delight in his birth.

Luke.1.14

He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth,

Luke.1.14

And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.

Luke.1.14

You will have great joy and gladness, and many will rejoice with you at his birth,

Luke.1.15

He'll achieve great stature with God. "He'll drink neither wine nor beer. He'll be filled with the Holy Spirit from the moment he leaves his mother's womb.

Luke.1.15

for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from birth.

Luke.1.15

For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.

Luke.1.15

for he will be great in the eyes of the Lord. He must never touch wine or hard liquor, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even before his birth.

Luke.1.16

He will turn many sons and daughters of Israel back to their God.

Luke.1.16

Many of the people of Israel will he bring back to the Lord their God.

Luke.1.16

And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.

Luke.1.16

And he will persuade many Israelites to turn to the Lord their God.

Luke.1.17

He will herald God's arrival in the style and strength of Elijah, soften the hearts of parents to children, and kindle devout understanding among hardened skeptics--he'll get the people ready for God."

Luke.1.17

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."

Luke.1.17

He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, "to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."

Luke.1.17

He will be a man with the spirit and power of Elijah, the prophet of old. He will precede the coming of the Lord, preparing the people for his arrival. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and he will change disobedient minds to accept godly wisdom."

Luke.1.18

Zachariah said to the angel, "Do you expect me to believe this? I'm an old man and my wife is an old woman."

Luke.1.18

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

Luke.1.18

And Zacharias said to the angel, "How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years."

Luke.1.18

Zechariah said to the angel, "How can I know this will happen? I'm an old man now, and my wife is also well along in years."

Luke.1.19

But the angel said, "I am Gabriel, the sentinel of God, sent especially to bring you this glad news.

Luke.1.19

The angel answered, "I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news.

Luke.1.19

And the angel answered and said to him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and was sent to speak to you and bring you these glad tidings.

Luke.1.19

Then the angel said, "I am Gabriel! I stand in the very presence of God. It was he who sent me to bring you this good news!

Luke.1.20

But because you won't believe me, you'll be unable to say a word until the day of your son's birth. Every word I've spoken to you will come true on time--God's time."

Luke.1.20

And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their proper time."

Luke.1.20

But behold, you will be mute and not able to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their own time."

Luke.1.20

And now, since you didn't believe what I said, you won't be able to speak until the child is born. For my words will certainly come true at the proper time."

Luke.1.21

Meanwhile, the congregation waiting for Zachariah was getting restless, wondering what was keeping him so long in the sanctuary.

Luke.1.21

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

Luke.1.21

And the people waited for Zacharias, and marveled that he lingered so long in the temple.

Luke.1.21

Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah to come out, wondering why he was taking so long.

Luke.1.22

When he came out and couldn't speak, they knew he had seen a vision. He continued speechless and had to use sign language with the people.

Luke.1.22

When he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized he had seen a vision in the temple, for he kept making signs to them but remained unable to speak.

Luke.1.22

But when he came out, he could not speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, for he beckoned to them and remained speechless.

Luke.1.22

When he finally did come out, he couldn't speak to them. Then they realized from his gestures that he must have seen a vision in the Temple sanctuary.

Luke.1.23

When the course of his priestly assignment was completed, he went back home.[

Luke.1.23

When his time of service was completed, he returned home.

Luke.1.23

So it was, as soon as the days of his service were completed, that he departed to his own house.

Luke.1.23

He stayed at the Temple until his term of service was over, and then he returned home.

Luke.1.24

It wasn't long before his wife, Elizabeth, conceived. She went off by herself for five months, relishing her pregnancy.

Luke.1.24

After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion.

Luke.1.24

Now after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying,

Luke.1.24

Soon afterward his wife, Elizabeth, became pregnant and went into seclusion for five months.

Luke.1.25

"So, this is how God acts to remedy my unfortunate condition!" she said.

Luke.1.25

"The Lord has done this for me," she said. "In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people."

Luke.1.25

"Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the days when He looked on me, to take away my reproach among people."

Luke.1.25

"How kind the Lord is!" she exclaimed. "He has taken away my disgrace of having no children!"
