1Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a narration of the things that have been accomplished among us,Giacchè molti si sono sforzati di stendere il racconto delle cose avvenute tra noi:BECAVSE many haue gone about to compile a narration of the things that haue been accomplished among vs:Quoniam quidem multi conati sunt ordinare narrationem, quæ in nobis completæ sunt, rerum: 2According as they have delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word:Come riferirono a noi quelli, che sin da principio le videro, e furono ministri della parola:according as they haue deliuered vnto vs, vvho from the beginning them selues savv and vvere ministers of the vvord:sicut tradiderunt nobis, qui ab initio ipsi viderunt, et ministri fuerunt sermonis: 3It seemed good to me also, having diligently attained to all things from the beginning, to write to thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,E paruto anche a me, dopo aver diligentemente rinvergato dall'origine il tutto, di scriverlo a te a parte a parte, o Teofilo prestantissimo,it seemed good also vnto me hauing diligently atteined to al things from the beginning, to vvrite to thee in order, good Theophilus,visum est et mihi, assecuto omnia a principio diligenter, ex ordine tibi scribere, optime Theophile, 4That thou mayest know the verity of those words in which thou hast been instructed.Affinchè tu riconosca la verità delle cose, che a te sono state insegnate.that thou maist knovv the veritie of those vvordes vvhere of thou hast been instructed.ut cognoscas eorum verborum, de quibus eruditus es, veritatem. 5There 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.Bravi al tempo di Erode, re di Giudea, un sacerdote, per nome Zaccaria, della classe di Abia; e la moglie di lui delle figliuole di Aronne, e si chiamava Elisabetta.There vvas in the daies of Herod the king of Ievvrie, a certaine Priest named Zacharie, of the course of Abia: and his vvife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.Fuit in diebus Herodis, regis Judææ, sacerdos quidam nomine Zacharias de vice Abia, et uxor illius de filiabus Aaron, et nomen ejus Elisabeth. 6And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and justifications of the Lord without blame.Ed erano ambedue giusti dinanzi a Dio, camminando irreprensibili in tutti i comandamenti, e nelle leggi del Signore.And they vvere both iust before God, vvalking in al the commaundements and iustifications of our Lord vvithout blame,Erant autem justi ambo ante Deum, incedentes in omnibus mandatis et justificationibus Domini sine querela.

7And they had no son, for that Elizabeth was barren: and they both were well advanced in years.E non avevano figliuolo, per essere Elisabetta sterile, e tutti due di età avanzata.and they had no sonne: for that Elizabeth vvas barren, and both vvere vvel striken in their daies.Et non erat illis filius, eo quod esset Elisabeth sterilis, et ambo processissent in diebus suis. 8And it came to pass, when he executed the priestly function in the order of his course before God,Or avvenne, che, mentre faceva la funzione di sacerdote dinanzi a Dio nell'ordine del suo turno,And it came to passe: vvhen he executed the priestly function in the order of his course before God,Factum est autem, cum sacerdotio fungeretur in ordine vicis suæ ante Deum, 9According to the custom of the priestly office, it was his lot to offer incense, going into the temple of the Lord.Secondo la consuetudine del sacerdozio, toccogli in sorte di entrare nel tempio del Signore a offerirvi l'incenso:according to the custome of the Priestly function, he vvent forth by lot to offer incense, entring into the temple of our Lord:secundum consuetudinem sacerdotii, sorte exiit ut incensum poneret, ingressus in templum Domini: 10And all the multitude of the people was praying without, at the hour of incense.E tutta la turba del popolo orava di fuori nell'ora dell'incenso.and al the multitude of the people vvas praying vvithout at the houre of the incense.et omnis multitudo populi erat orans foris hora incensi. 11And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.E apparve a lui l'Angelo del Signore, stante alla destra dell'altare dell'incenso.And there appeared to him an Angel of our Lord, standing on the right hand of the altar of incense.Apparuit autem illi angelus Domini, stans a dextris altaris incensi. 12And Zachary seeing him, was troubled: and fear fell upon him.E Zaccaria al vederlo turbossi, e il timore lo soprapprese.And Zacharie vvas troubled, seeing him: and feare fel vpon him.Et Zacharias turbatus est videns, et timor irruit super eum. 13But 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.Ma l'Angelo gli disse: Non temere, o Zaccaria, perché è stata esaudita la tua orazione: e la tua moglie Elisabetta ti partorirà un figliuolo; e gli porrai nome Giovanni:But the Angel said to him, Feare not Zacharie, for thy praier is heard: and thy vvife Elizabeth shal beare thee a sonne, and thou shalt cal his name Iohn: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:

14And thou shalt have joy and gladness: and many shall rejoice in his nativity.E sarà a te di allegrezza, e di giubbilo: e molti si rallegreranno per la nascita di lui:and thou shalt haue ioy and exultation, and many shal reioyce in his natiuitie.et erit gaudium tibi, et exsultatio, et multi in nativitate ejus gaudebunt: 15For 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.Imperocché egli sarà grande nel cospetto del Signore: non berrà né vino, né sicera: e sarà ripieno di Spirito santo sin dall'utero di sua madre:for he shal be great before our Lord: and vvine and sicer he shal not drinke: and he shal be replenished vvith the Holy Ghost euen from his mothers vvombe.erit enim magnus coram Domino: et vinum et siceram non bibet, et Spiritu Sancto replebitur adhuc ex utero matris suæ: 16And he shall convert many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.E convertirà molti dei figliuoli d'Israele al Signore Dio loro.and he shal conuert many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God,et multos filiorum Israël convertet ad Dominum Deum ipsorum: 17And 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.Ed egli precederà davanti a lui con lo spirito, e con la virtù di Elia: per rivolgere i cuori de' padri verso i loro figliuoli, e gl'increduli alla sapienza dei giusti, per preparare al Signore un popolo perfetto.and he shal goe before him in the spirit and vertue of Elias: that he may conuert the hartes of the fathers vnto the children, and the incredulous to the vvisedom of the iust, to prepare vnto the Lord a perfect people.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. 18And Zachary said to the angel: Whereby shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.E Zaccaria disse all'Angelo: Come comprenderò io tal cosa? Imperocché io son vecchio, e la moglie mia è avanzata in età.And Zacharie said to the Angel, Vvhereby shal I knovv this? for I am old: and my vvife is vvel striken in her daies.Et dixit Zacharias ad angelum: Unde hoc sciam ? ego enim sum senex, et uxor mea processit in diebus suis. 19And 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.E l'Angelo gli rispose, e disse: Io sono Gabriele, che sto nel cospetto d'Iddio: e sono stato mandato a parlarti, e recarti questa buona nuova.And the Angel ansvvering said to him, I am Gabriel that assist before God: and am sent to speake to thee, and to euangelize these things to thee.Et respondens angelus dixit ei: Ego sum Gabriel, qui asto ante Deum: et missus sum loqui ad te, et hæc tibi evangelizare.

20And 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.Ed ecco, che sarai mutolo, e non potrai far parola sino al giorno, che questo succeda, perché non hai creduto alle mie parole, le quali si adempiranno a suo tempo.And behold, thou shalt be dumme, and shalt not be able to speake vntil the day vvherein these things shal be done: for-because thou hast not beleeued my vvordes, vvhich shal be fulfilled in their time.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. 21And the people were waiting for Zachary: and they wondered that he tarried so long in the temple.E il popolo stava aspettando Zaccaria: e si maravigliava del tardare, che egli faceva nel tempio.And the people vvas expecting Zacharie: and they marueled that he made tariance in the temple.Et erat plebs exspectans Zachariam: et mirabantur quod tardaret ipse in templo. 22And 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.Ma essendo egli uscito, non poteva parlare ad essi: e compresero, ch'egli aveva avuta una visione nel tempio. Ed egli andava facendo loro dei cenni, e si restò mutolo.And comming forth he could not speake to them, and they knevv that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he made signes to them, and remained dumme.Egressus autem non poterat loqui ad illos, et cognoverunt quod visionem vidisset in templo. Et ipse erat innuens illis, et permansit mutus. 23And it came to pass, after the days of his office were accomplished, he departed to his own house.E avvenne, che, finiti i giorni del suo uffizio, se v'andò a casa sua:And it came to passe, after the daies of his office vvere expired, he departed into his house.Et factum est, ut impleti sunt dies officii ejus, abiit in domum suam: 24And after those days, Elizabeth his wife conceived and hid herself five months, saying:E dopo que' giorni Elisabetta sua moglie rimase incinta, e per cinque mesi si teneva nascosta, dicendo:And after these daies Elizabeth his vvife conceiued: and hid her self fiue moneths, saying,post hos autem dies concepit Elisabeth uxor ejus, et occultabat se mensibus quinque, dicens: 25Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he hath had regard to take away my reproach among men.Così ha fatto con me il Signore, quando si è a me rivolto per togliere la mia ignominia tra gli uomini.For thus hath our Lord done to me in the daies vvherein he had respect to take avvay my reproche among men.Quia sic fecit mihi Dominus in diebus, quibus respexit auferre opprobrium meum inter homines.

26And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,Ma il sesto mese fu mandato l'Angelo Gabriele da Dio a una città della Galilea, chiamata Nazaret,And in the sixt moneth, the Angel Gabriel vvas sent of God into a citie of Galilee, called Nazareth,In mense autem sexto, missus est angelus Gabriel a Deo in civitatem Galilææ, cui nomen Nazareth, 27To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David: and the virgin’s name was Mary.A una vergine sposata ad un uomo della casa di Davidde, nomato Giuseppe, e la Vergine si chiamava Maria.to a virgin despoused to a man vvhose name vvas Ioseph, of the house of Dauid: and the virgins name vvas MARIE,ad virginem desponsatam viro, cui nomen erat Joseph, de domo David: et nomen virginis Maria. 28And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.Ed entrato l'Angelo da lei, disse: Dio ti salvi, piena di grazia: il Signore è teco: Benedetta tu fra le donne.And the Angel being entred in, said vnto her, HAILE ful of grace, our Lord is vvith thee: blessed art thou among vvomen.Et ingressus angelus ad eam dixit: Ave gratia plena: Dominus tecum: benedicta tu in mulieribus. 29Who having heard, was troubled at his saying and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be.Le quali cose avendo ella udite, si turbò alle sue parole; e andava pensando, che sorta di saluto fosse questo.Vvho hauing heard, vvas troubled at his saying, and thought vvhat maner of salutation this should be.Quæ cum audisset, turbata est in sermone ejus, et cogitabat qualis esset ista salutatio. 30And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.E l'Angelo le disse: Non temere, Maria, imperocché hai trovato grazia dinanzi a Dio.And the Angel said to her, Feare not MARIE, for thou hast found grace vvith God.Et ait angelus ei: Ne timeas, Maria: invenisti enim gratiam apud Deum. 31Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb and shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Jesus.Ecco che concepirai, e partorirà un figlio, e gli porrai nome Gesù.Behold thou shalt conceiue in thy vvombe, and shalt beare a sonne: and thou shalt call his name IESVS.Ecce concipies in utero, et paries filium, et vocabis nomen ejus Jesum: 32He 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.Questi sarà grande, e sarà chiamato figliuolo dell'Altissimo: e a lui darà il Signore Iddio la sede di Davidde suo padre: e regnerà sopra la casa di Giacobbe in eterno.he shal be great, and shal be called the sonne of the most High, and our Lord God shal giue him the seate of Dauid his father:hic erit magnus, et Filius Altissimi vocabitur, et dabit illi Dominus Deus sedem David patris ejus: et regnabit in domo Jacob in æternum,

33And of his kingdom there shall be no end.E il suo regno non avrà fine.and he shal reigne in the house of Iacob for euer, and of his kingdom there shal be no end.et regni ejus non erit finis. 34And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?E Maria disse all'Angelo: la qual modo avverrà questo, mentre io non conosco uomo?And MARIE said to the Angel, Hovv shal this be done? because I knovv not man?Dixit autem Maria ad angelum: Quomodo fiet istud, quoniam virum non cognosco ? 35And 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.E l'Angelo le rispose, e disse: Lo Spirito santo scenderà sopra di te, la virtù dell'Altissimo ti adombrerà. E per questo ancora quello, che nascerà di te Santo, sarà chiamato figliuolo di Dio.And the Angel ansvvering, said to her, The Holy Ghost shal come vpon thee, and the povver of the most High shal ouershadovv thee. And therfore also that vvhich of thee shal be borne Holy, shal be called the sonne of God.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. 36And 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.Ed ecco che Elisabetta tua parente ha concepito anch'essa un figliuolo nella sua vecchiezza: ed è nel sesto mese quella, che diceasi sterile:And behold Elisabeth thy cosin, she also hath conceiued a sonne in her old age: and this moneth, is the sixt to her that is called barren:Et ecce Elisabeth cognata tua, et ipsa concepit filium in senectute sua: et hic mensis sextus est illi, quæ vocatur sterilis: 37Because no word shall be impossible with God.Imperocché nulla sarà impossibile a Dio.because there shal not be impossible vvith God any vvord.quia non erit impossibile apud Deum omne verbum. 38And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it done to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.E Maria disse: Ecco l'ancella del Signore, facciasi di me secondo la tua parola. E l'Angelo si parti da lei.And MARIE said, BEHOLD the handmaid of our Lord, be it done to me according to thy word. And the Angel departed from her.Dixit autem Maria: Ecce ancilla Domini: fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum. Et discessit ab illa angelus. 39And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.E Maria in quegli stessi giorni andò frettolosamente nella montagna a una città di Giuda:And MARIE rising vp in those daies, vvent vnto the hil countrie vvith speede, into a citie of Iuda.Exsurgens autem Maria in diebus illis, abiit in montana cum festinatione, in civitatem Juda:

40And she entered into the house of Zachary and saluted Elizabeth.Ed entrò, in casa di Zaccaria, e salutò Elisabetta.and she entred into the house of Zacharie, and saluted Elisabeth.et intravit in domum Zachariæ, et salutavit Elisabeth. 41And 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.E avvenne, che appena Elisabetta udì il saluto di Maria, il bambino saltellò nel suo seno: ed Elisabetta fu ripiena di Spirito santo:And it came to passe: as Elisabeth heard the salutation of MARIE, the infant did leape in her vvombe. and Elisabeth vvas replenished vvith the Holy Ghost:Et factum est, ut audivit salutationem Mariæ Elisabeth, exsultavit infans in utero ejus: et repleta est Spiritu Sancto Elisabeth: 42And she cried out with a loud voice and said: Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.Ed esclamò ad alta voce, e disse: Benedetta tu tra le donne, e benedetto il frutto del tuo ventre.and she cried out vvith a loude voice, and said, BLESSED art thou among vvomen, and blessed is the fruite of thy vvombe.et exclamavit voce magna, et dixit: Benedicta tu inter mulieres, et benedictus fructus ventris tui. 43And whence is this to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?E donde a me questo, che la madre del Signor mio venga da me?And vvhence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord doth come to me?Et unde hoc mihi, ut veniat mater Domini mei ad me ? 44For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.Imperocché ecco che appena il suono del tuo saluto giunse alle mie orecchie, saltellò per giubbilo nel mio seno il bambino.For behold as the voice of thy salutation founded in mine eares, the infant in my vvombe did leape for ioy.Ecce enim ut facta est vox salutationis tuæ in auribus meis, exsultavit in gaudio infans in utero meo. 45And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.E beata te, che hai creduto, perché si adempiranno le cose dette a te dal Signore.And blessed is she that beleeued, because those things shal be accomplished that vvere spokē to her by our Lord.Et beata, quæ credidisti, quoniam perficientur ea, quæ dicta sunt tibi a Domino. 46And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.E Maria disse: l'anima mia esalta la grandezza del Signore:And MARIE said, MY SOVLE doth magnifie our Lord.Et ait Maria: Magnificat anima mea Dominum:

47And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.Ed esulta il mio spirito in Dio mio salvatore.And my spirit hath reioyced in God my Sauiour.et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo. 48Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid: for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.Perché ha rivolto lo sguardo alla bassezza della sua serva: conciossiachè ecco che da questo punto beata mi chiameranno tutte le età.Because he hath regarded the humilitie of his handmaid: for behold from hence forth al generations shal call me blessed.Quia respexit humilitatem ancillæ suæ: / ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes, 49Because he that is mighty hath done great things to me: and holy is his name.Perché grandi cose ha fatte a me colui, che è potente, e di cui santo è il nome.Because he that is mightie hath done great things to me, and holy in his name.quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est: / et sanctum nomen ejus, 50And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.E la misericordia di lui di generazione in generazione sopra coloro, che lo temono.And his mercie from generation vnto generations, to them that feare him.et misericordia ejus a progenie in progenies / timentibus eum. 51He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.Fece opere di potenza col suo braccio: dissipò i superbi coi pensieri del loro cuore.He hath shevved might in his arme: he hath dispersed the proude in the conceit of their hart.Fecit potentiam in brachio suo: / dispersit superbos mente cordis sui. 52He hath put down the mighty from their seat and hath exalted the humble.Ha deposto dal trono i potenti, e ha esaltato i piccoli.He hath deposed the mightie from their seate, and hath exalted the humble.Deposuit potentes de sede, / et exaltavit humiles. 53He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich he hath sent empty away.Ha ricolmati di beni i famelici, e voti ha rimandati i ricchi.The hungrie he hath filled vvith good things: and the riche he hath sent avvay emptie.Esurientes implevit bonis: / et divites dimisit inanes. 54He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy.Accolse Israele suo servo, ricordandosi della sua misericordia:He hath receiued Israel his childe, being mindeful of his mercie,Suscepit Israël puerum suum, / recordatus misericordiæ suæ: 55As he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and to his seed for ever.Conforme parlò ai padri nostri, ad Abramo, e ai suoi discendenti per tutti i secoli.As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham and his seede for euer.sicut locutus est ad patres nostros, / Abraham et semini ejus in sæcula.

56And Mary abode with her about three months. And she returned to her own house.Maria poi si trattenne con lei circa tre mesi: e se ne tornò a casa sua.And MARIE taried vvith her about three moneths: and she returned into her house.Mansit autem Maria cum illa quasi mensibus tribus: et reversa est in domum suam. 57Now Elizabeth’s full time of being delivered was come: and she brought forth a son.E si compi per Elisabetta il tempo di partorire, e partorì un figliuolo.And Elisabeths ful time vvas come to be deliuered: and she bare a sonne.Elisabeth autem impletum est tempus pariendi, et peperit filium. 58And her neighbors and kinsfolks heard that the Lord had shewed his great mercy towards her: and they congratulated with her.E i vicini, e i parenti di lei udirono, come il Signore aveva segnalata la sua misericordia verso di lei, e se ne congratulavano con essa.And her neighbours and kinsfolke heard that our Lord did magnifie his mercie vvith her, and they did congratulate her.Et audierunt vicini et cognati ejus quia magnificavit Dominus misericordiam suam cum illa, et congratulabantur ei. 59And 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.E avvenne, che l'ottavo giorno andarono a circoncidere il fanciullo, e lo chiamavano Zaccaria dal nome di suo padre.And it came to passe: on the eight day they came to circumcise the childe, and they called him by his fathers name, Zacharie.Et factum est in die octavo, venerunt circumcidere puerum, et vocabant eum nomine patris sui Zachariam. 60And his mother answering, said: Not so. But he shall be called John.E la madre di lui rispose, e disse: Non già; ma avrà nome Giovanni.And his mother ansvvering, said, Not so, but he shal be called Iohn.Et respondens mater ejus, dixit: Nequaquam, sed vocabitur Joannes. 61And they said to her: There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.E le dissero: Non v'ha alcuno della tua parentela, che porti tal nome.And they said to her, That there is none in thy kinred that is called by this name.Et dixerunt ad illam: Quia nemo est in cognatione tua, qui vocetur hoc nomine. 62And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.E facevano cenno a suo padre, come volesse, che fosse chiamato.And they made signes to his father, vvhat he vvould haue him called.Innuebant autem patri ejus, quem vellet vocari eum. 63And demanding a writing table, he wrote, saying: John is his name. And they all wondered.Ed egli, chiesta la tavoletta, scrisse così: Il suo nome è Giovanni. E tutti restarono maravigliati.And demaunding a vvriting table, he vvrote, saying, Iohn is his name. And they al marueled.Et postulans pugillarem scripsit, dicens: Joannes est nomen ejus. Et mirati sunt universi.

64And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed: and he spoke, blessing God.E in quel ponto fu aperta la sua bocca, e sciolta la sua lingua, e parlava benedicendo Dio.And forthvvith his mouth vvas opened, and his tonge, and he spake blessing God.Apertum est autem illico os ejus, et lingua ejus, et loquebatur benedicens Deum. 65And fear came upon all their neighbours: and all these things were noised abroad over all the hill country of Judea.E furono presi da timore tutti i loro vicini: e per tutta la montagna della Giudea si divulgarono tutte queste cose:And feare came vpon al their neighbours: and al these things vvere bruited ouer al the hil-countrie of Ievvrie:Et factus est timor super omnes vicinos eorum: et super omnia montana Judææ divulgabantur omnia verba hæc: 66And 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.E tutti quelli, che le avevano udite, le ponderavano in cuor loro, dicendo: Che bambino sarà, mai questo? imperocché la mano del Signore era con lui.and all that had heard, laid them vp in their hart, saying, what an one, trovv ye, shal this childe be? For the hand of our Lord vvas vvith him.et posuerunt omnes qui audierant in corde suo, dicentes: Quis, putas, puer iste erit ? etenim manus Domini erat cum illo. 67And Zachary his father was filled with the Holy Ghost.
