लुका 2
1 ती दिनहरूमा रोमी साम्राज्यभित्र बस्ने सबै जनाको जनगणना गर्नू भनी कैसर अगस्टसले उर्दी जारी गरे ।
Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.
2 कुरेनियस सिरियाका हाकिम हुँदाको यो पहिलो जनगणना थियो ।
This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 त्यसैले, सबै जना आ-आफ्ना गाउँमा जनगणनाका लागि नाउँ दर्ता गर्न गए ।
All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
4 योसेफ पनि गालीलको नासरतबाट यहूदियाको बेथलेहेममा गए, जुन ठाउँ दाऊदको सहरको नामले चिनिन्थ्यो, किनभने उनी दाऊदको वंशका थिए ।
Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s city, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
5 उनी मरियमसँगै दर्ता गर्न त्यहाँ गएका थिए, जससँग उनको मगनी भएको थियो र तिनले एउटा बालकको आशा गरेका थिए ।
to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
6 तिनीहरू त्यहीँ छँदा मरियमको बालक जन्माउने समय आयो ।
While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.
7 उनले आफ्नो पहिलो छोरा जन्माइन्, र कपडाले बेह्रिन् अनि जनावरहरूले खाने ठाउँमा राखिन् । किनभने तिनीहरूका निम्ति धर्मशालामा कुनै ठाउँ थिएन ।
She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 त्यस इलाकाको चौरमा राती आ-आफ्ना भेडाका रखवाली गर्दै गोठालाहरू बसिरहेका थिए ।
There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
9 एक्कासि, तिनीहरूकहाँ परमप्रभुका एउटा दूत देखा परे, र तिनीहरूका वरिपरि परमप्रभुको महिमा चम्किरहेको थियो, र तिनीहरू साह्रै भयभीत भए ।
Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
10 तब स्वर्गदूतले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “नडराऊ, किनभने आज म तिमीहरूलाई बडो आनन्दको सुसमाचार घोषणा गर्छु, जसले सबै मानिसहरूलाई ठुलो आनन्द दिनेछ ।
The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.
11 आज तिमीहरूका निम्ति दाऊदको सहरमा एउटा मुक्तिदाताको जन्म भएको छ । उहाँ ख्रीष्ट प्रभु हुनुहुन्छ ।
For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
12 तिमीहरूलाई चिह्नचाहिँ यो दिइएको छ, कि तिमीहरूले बालकलाई कपडाले बेह्रेरेर जनावरहरूलाई खुवाउने डुँडमा सुताइरहेको भेट्टाउनेछौ ।”
This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”
13 एक्कासि ती स्वर्गदूतसँग स्वर्गीय सेनाको एउटा ठुलो दल देखा पर्यो र तिनीहरूले यसो भन्दै परमेश्वरको प्रंशसा गरे ।
Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God and saying,
14 “सर्वोच्चमा परमेश्वरलाई महिमा र पृथ्वीमा जुन मानिसहरूसँग उहाँ प्रसन्न हुनुहुन्छ, तिनीहरूलाई शान्ति ।”
“Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.”
15 जब परमप्रभुका स्वर्गदूतहरू स्वर्ग फर्के, तब गोठालाहरूले एक-अर्कालाई भने, “परमप्रभुबाट हामीलाई प्रकट गरिएको र घटेको यस घटनालाई बताउन बेथलेहेममा जाऊँ र हेरौँ ।”
When the angels went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
16 तब तिनीहरू हतार-हतार गर्दै त्यहाँ गए, अनि योसेफ र मरियमलाई भेटे । तिनीहरूले बालकलाई दाना खुवाउने डुँडमा सुताइरहेको देखे ।
They came with haste and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
17 तिनीहरूले यसलाई देखे पछि, बालकको बारेमा बताइएका सबै कुरा मानिसहरूलाई बताए ।
When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
18 गोठालाहरूद्वारा भनिएका कुरा सुन्नेहरू जति सबै जना आश्चर्य चकित भए ।
All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
19 तर मरियमले सुनेका सबै कुराहरूको बारेमा सोच्दै गरिन् र उनले आफ्नो मनमै राखिन् ।
But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
20 तिनीहरूलाई भनेअनुसार सुनेका र देखेका हरेक कुराका निम्ति परमेश्वरलाई महिमा दिँदै र प्रशंसा गर्दै फर्के ।
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
21 जब आठौँ दिन भयो, तब बालकको खतना गर्ने समय भयो । तिनीहरूले उहाँको नाउँ येशू राखे, जुन नाउँ स्वर्गदूतद्वारा उहाँ गर्भधारण हुनुभन्दा अगि दिइएको थियो ।
When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 मोशाको व्यवस्थाअनुसार तोकिएका शुद्धिकरणका दिनहरू सकिएपछि, योसेफ र मरियमले सानो बालकलाई परमप्रभुको उपस्थितिमा यरूशलेममा ल्याए ।
When the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord
23 परमप्रभुको व्यवस्थामा लेखिएझैँ “पहिलो जन्मेको प्रत्येक पुरुष परमप्रभुमा अर्पण गर्नुपर्थ्यो ।”
(as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),
24 तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको व्यवस्थामा भनेअनुसार “एक जोडी ढुकुर र दुईवटा परेवा बलिदान चढाउन लिएर आए ।”
and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, “A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.”
25 हेर, यरूशलेममा एक जना सिमियोन नाउँ गरेका व्यक्ति थिए । उनी धर्मी र ईश्वरभक्त मानिस थिए । उनले इस्राएलका सान्त्वना दाताको प्रतीक्षा गरिराखेका थिए र पवित्र आत्मा उनीमाथि हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.
26 पवित्र आत्माद्वारा उनलाई यो प्रकट गराइएको थियो कि परमप्रभुका ख्रीष्टलाई नदेखेसम्म उनको मृत्यु हुनेछैन ।
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 एक दिन तिनी मन्दिरमा पवित्र आत्माको अगुवाइमा आए । व्यवस्थाले जे माग गरेको थियो, त्यो पुरा गर्न आमाबुबाद्वारा बालक येशूलाई मन्दिरमा ल्याइयो ।
He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the custom of the law,
28 त्यसपछि शिमियोनले बालक येशूलाई काखमा लिएर परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गर्दै भने,
then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,
29 “तपाईंको वचनअनुसार, अब हे परमप्रभु, आफ्ना दासलाई शान्तिसँग बिदा दिनुहोस् ।
“Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;
30 किनभने मेरा आँखाले तपाईंको उद्धारलाई देखेका छन्,
for my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 जुन तपाईंले सबै मानिसहरूको दृष्टिमा तयार गर्नुभएको छ ।
which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
32 तपाईंका जन इस्राएलीहरूका महिमा र अन्यजातिहरूलाई प्रकाश दिने ज्योति हुनुहुन्छ ।”
a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”
33 बालकका बुबाआमा बालकका विषयमा भनिएका कुरामा अचम्मित भए ।
Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him.
34 त्यसपछि शिमियोनले तिनीहरूलाई आशीर्वाद दिए र उहाँकी आमा मरियमलाई भने, “होसियारीसँग सुन, यो बालक इस्राएलमा धेरैको उत्थान र पतनका निम्ति र धेरैको विरुद्धमा बोलिने चिह्नको निम्ति नियुक्त गरिएको छ ।
Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
35 साथै तरवारले तिम्रो आफ्नै प्राण छेड्नेछ, ताकि धेरैका हृदयका विचारहरू प्रकट होऊन् ।”
Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
36 एक जना हन्ना नामकी अगमवादिनी पनि त्यहाँ थिइन् । उनी आशेर कुलकी फनुएलकी छोरी थिइन् । उनी धेरै वृद्ध भइसकेकी थिइन् । विवाहपछि उनी जम्मा सात वर्ष आफ्ना पतिसँग बसेकी थिइन् ।
There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
37 त्यसपछि उनी चौरासी वर्ष विधवा नै रहिन् । उनले मन्दिर कहिल्यै नछोडी निरन्तर दिनरात प्रार्थना र उपवास गर्दै परमेश्वरको आराधना गर्दै रहिन् ।
and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day.
38 त्यही समयमा उनी त्यहाँ आइन् र परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद चढाउन थालिन् । यरूशलेमको उद्धार पर्खिरहेका हरेकलाई उनले बालकको बारेमा बताइन् ।
Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.
39 परमप्रभुको व्यवस्थाले बताएबमोजिम जब तिनीहरूले सबै काम सिद्धयाए, उनीहरू आफ्नै सहर गालीलको नासरतमा फर्के ।
When they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.
40 बालक बुद्धिमा र कदमा बढ्दै जानुभयो, र परमप्रभुको अनुग्रह उहाँमाथि थियो ।
The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
41 उहाँका आमाबुबा निस्तार-चाड मनाउनका निम्ति हरेक वर्ष यरूशलेममा जान्थे ।
His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
42 जब उहाँ बाह्र वर्षको हुनुहुन्थ्यो, तिनीहरू सधैँझैँ चाड मनाउनका निम्ति फेरि गए ।
When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast;
43 चाडका पुरा दिनहरू त्यहाँ बिताएपछि तिनीहरू आफ्ना घर फर्किन थाले, तर बालक येशू यरूशलेममा नै रहनुभयो जुन कुरा उहाँका बुबाआमालाई थाहा थिएन ।
and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother did not know it,
44 तर तिनीहरूले बालक येशू यात्रीहरूकै दलमा हुनुहुन्छ भनी विचार गरे र एक दिनको यात्रा गरी सिद्धायाए । त्यसपछि उनीहरूले उहाँलाई नातेदार र साथीहरूको बिचमा खोज्न थाले ।
but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45 जब उनीहरूले उहाँलाई भेट्टाएनन्, यरूशलेममा फर्केर उहाँलाई खोज्न थाले ।
When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
46 तिन दिनपछि, उनीहरूले उहाँलाई मन्दिरमा शिक्षकहरूको बिचमा सुन्दै र तिनीहरूलाई प्रश्न गर्दै गरेको भेट्टाए ।
After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
47 जतिले उहाँका कुरा सुन्थे, उहाँको समझशक्ति र जवाफमा आश्चर्य चकित हुन्थे ।
All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48 जब उनीहरूले उहाँलाई देखे, तब अचम्मित भए । उहाँकी आमा मरियमले उहाँलाई भनिन् “छोरा, किन तिमीले हामीसँग यस्तो व्यवहार गर्यौ? सुन! तिम्रा बुबा र मैले कति चिन्तित हुँदै तिमीलाई खोजिरहेका थियौँ ।”
When they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us this way? Behold, your father and I were anxiously looking for you.”
49 उहाँले उनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तपाईंहरूले मलाई किन खोजिरहनुभएको? म मेरा पिताको घरमा हुनुपर्छ भनेर के तपाईंहरूलाई थाहा छैन?”
He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did not you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
50 तर उहाँले उनीहरूलाई के भन्नुभएको थियो भनी उनीहरूले बुझ्न सकेनन् ।
They did not understand the saying which he spoke to them.
51 त्यसपछि उहाँ तिनीहरूसँग आफ्नो घर नासरत फर्कनुभयो र आज्ञाकारी भई रहनुभयो । उहाँकी आमाले यी सबै कुरा मनमै राखिन् ।
And he went down with them and came to Nazareth. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 तर येशू बुद्धिमा, कदमा र परमेश्वर अनि मानिसको निगाहमा निरन्तर बढ्दै जानुभयो ।
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
