1 तैन दिहैड़न मां रोम मुलखेरे महाराज़े औगुस्तुसे एलान कियूं कि, दुनियारे सारे मैन्हु केरि गिनती की गाए।
About that time an edict was issued by the Emperor Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole Empire.
2 ए पेइली मैन्हु केरि गिनती थी, ज़ै सीरिया इलाकेरे गवर्नर क्विरिनियुसेरे वक्ते मां भोइ।
(This was the first census taken while Quirinius was Governor of Syria).
3 ते सारे लोक, मैन्हु केरि गिनतरे लेइ नवं लिखाने अपने-अपने पूर्वजां केरे नगर जो च़ले जे।
And everyone went to his own town to be registered.
4 यूसुफ भी गलील इलाकेरे नगर नासरते मरां यहूदिया इलाके मां दाऊदेरे नगर बैतलहम मांजो च़लो, किजोकि तै दाऊद राज़ेरे खानदाने मरां थियो।
Among others Joseph went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Bethlehem, the town of David, in Judea – because he belonged to the family and house of David –
5 ताके तैड़ी मरियमी सेइं साथी ज़ैस सेइं तैसेरी कुड़माइ भोरी थी ते तै दोज़ींती थी नवं लिखाए।
to be registered with Mary, his engaged wife, who was about to become a mother.
6 तैन केरे तैड़ी रेइतां तैसारे गल्हे बिशनेरो वक्त अव।
While they were there her time came,
7 ते तैस पेइलू मट्ठू भोवं ते तैसां तैन फैल्हड़ी मां पलेटतां खुरली मां रख्खू किजोकि तैन धर्मशाली मां कोन्च ठार न थी मैल्लोरी।
and she gave birth to her first child, a son. And because there was no room for them in the inn, she swathed him around and laid him in a manger.
8 किछ पुहाल राती एक्की ड्लबड़े मां गब्बां केरो पैरहो केरते थिये।
In that same countryside were shepherds out in the open fields, watching their flocks that night,
9 ते परमेशरेरो स्वर्गदूत तैन कां बांदो भोव ते परमेशरेरी महिमारी लौ तैन केरे च़ेव्रे पासन बलने लगी ते तैना बड़े डेरि जे।
when an angel of the Lord suddenly stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were seized with fear.
10 तैखन स्वर्गदूते तैन जो ज़ोवं, “डरा नन्ना, किजोकि अवं तुसन अक बड़ी खुशखबरी शुनाने ओरोईं, ज़ै खुशी सैरी लोकां केरे लेइ भोली।
“Have no fear,” the angel said. “For I bring you good news of a great joy in store for all the nation.
11 अज़ बैतलहमे मां ज़ैन दाऊद राज़ेरू नगर थियूं, तुश्शे लेइ अक मुक्ति देनेबालो ज़रमोरोए यानी यीशु मसीह प्रभु।
This day there has been born to you, in the town of David, a Savior, who is Christ and Lord.
12 तैसेरो तुश्शे लेइ ए निशान भोलो कि तुसन अक मट्ठू फैल्हड़ी मां पलैट्टेरू गाल्हरे बेइर खुरली मां मैलेलू।”
And this will be the sign for you. You will find the infant swathed, and lying in a manger.”
13 ते अकदम तैस स्वर्गदूते सेइं होरे भी स्वर्गदूत बांदे भोए ते तैना परमेशरेरी तारीफ़ केरने लगे ते एन ज़ोने लगे,
Then suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly Host, praising God, and singing –
14 “स्वर्गे मां परमेशरेरी महिमा भोए, ते ज़मीनी पुड़ तैन मैनन् शान्ति मैल्ले, ज़ैन पुड़ परमेशर खुशे।”
“glory to God on high, and on earth peace among those in whom he finds pleasure.”
15 ज़ैखन स्वर्गदूत पुहालां केरे सामने वापस स्वर्गे मांजो च़ले जे। पुहाल एप्पू मांमेइं ज़ोने लगे, “एज्जा अस बैतलहम नगरे मां गाम ज़ै बिस्तार प्रभुए असन दित्तोरोए तैस हेरम।”
Now, when the angels had left them and gone back to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go at once to Bethlehem, and see this thing that has happened, of which the Lord has told us.”
16 एल्हेरेलेइ तैना लूशी तैट्ठां च़ले जे ते तैड़ी पुज़े ते सच़्च़े तैड़ी मरियम, यूसुफ ते निकड़ो बच्चो फैल्हड़ी मां पलेट्टोरो गोरू केरि गाल्हरे बेइर खुरली मां मैल्लो।
So they went quickly, and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in a manger;
17 ते पुहाल एन हेरतां ज़ै गल तैन एस बच्चेरे बारे मां ज़ोरी थी सेब्भन सेइं ज़ोने लगे।
and, when they saw it, they told of all that had been said to them about this child.
18 पुहालां केरि गल्लां शुन्तां सारे लोक हैरान रेइजे।
All who heard the shepherds were astonished at their story,
19 पन मरियम सैरी गल्लां अपने दिले मां रेखतां सोचने लगी।
while Mary treasured in her heart all that they said, and thought about it often.
20 ते पुहालन ज़ेन्च़रे तैनी स्वर्गदूते ज़ोरू थियूं, तैनेईं अपनि एछ़्छ़ेईं तैन सब किछ लेइतां परमेशरेरी तारीफ़ केरते वापस घरजो च़ले जे।
And the shepherds went back, giving glory and praise to God for all that they had heard and seen. It had all happened as they had been told.
21 अठोवं दिहाड़े ज़ेइस तैसेरो खतनो केरनेरो वक्त अव त तैसेरू नवं यीशु रख्खू। एन तैन नवं आए, ज़ैन स्वर्गदूते मरियमारे दोज़ींतीए भोने करां पेइले रख्खेरू थियूं।
Eight days after the birth of the child, when it was time to circumcise him, he received the name Jesus – the name given him by the angel before his conception.
22 ज़ैखन मूसेरे कानूनेरे मुताबिक तैसेरे शुच्चे भोनेरे दिहाड़े पूरे भोए, त यूसुफे ते मरियमा यीशु यरूशलेम नगरे मांजो नीयो ताके तैस प्रभुए कां अर्पण केरन।
When the period of purification of mother and child, required by the Law of Moses, came to an end, his parents took the child up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,
23 ज़ेन्च़रे प्रभुएरे कानूने मां लिखोरूए, “सारां पेइलां मट्ठां परमेशरे लेइ पवित्र भोलां।”
in compliance with the Law of the Lord that every firstborn male will be dedicated to the Lord,
24 ज़ेन्च़रे प्रभुएरे कानूने मां लिखोरूए कि, “अक जोड़ी गुघू केरि या कबूतरेरे दूई बच्चे बलिदानेरे लेइ आन।”
and also to offer the sacrifice required by the Law of the Lord – a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons.
25 तैस वक्ते यरूशलेम नगरे मां अक मैन्हु थियो, तैसेरू नवं शमौन थियूं, तै बड़ो धर्मी ते भक्त मैन्हु थियो, तै मसीह बलगने लोरो थियो, कि तै एज्जेलो ते इस्राएली लोकन शान्ति देलो, ते तैस पुड़ पवित्र आत्मा थियो।
There was at that time in Jerusalem a man named Simeon, a righteous and devout man, who lived in constant expectation of Israel’s consulation, and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
26 पवित्र आत्मा तैस पुड़ बांदू कियूं, कि ज़ां तगर तू प्रभुएरे मसीह न लाएलो तांतगर न मरेलो।
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not die until he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 तैस दिहाड़े शमौन पवित्र आत्मा च़लाव, तै आत्मिक शेक्ति सेइं मन्दरे मां अव तैखन यीशु भी तैसेरे अम्मा बाजेईं अन्तर आनोरो थियो, कि तैसेरेलेइ मूसेरे कानूनेरे मुताबिक कमाम।
Moved by the Spirit, Simeon came into the Temple Courts, and, when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary under the Law,
28 त शमौने बच्चो कुम्मे मां ट्लातो ते परमेशरेरी तारीफ़ केरने लगो।
Simeon himself took the child in his arms, and blessed God, and said:
29 “हे प्रभु तीं ज़ै अपनो वादो कियोरोए अपने दासे आनन्दे सेइं मरने दे।
“Now, Lord, you will let your servant go, according to your word, in peace,
30 किजोकि मीं अपने एछ़्छ़ेईं सेइं मुक्ति देनेबालो लाव, ज़ै तीं सैरी लोकां केरे लेइ भेज़ोरोए।
for my eyes have seen the salvation
31 ज़ै तीं सैरी कौमां केरे सामने तियार कियोरोए।
which you have prepared in the sight of all nations –
32 तै, परमेशर गैर कौमन पुड़ बांदो केरनेरे लेइ लौ आए, ते इस्राएली लोकां केरे लेइ अक बड़ी महिमा भोए।”
a light to bring light to the Gentiles, and to be the glory of your people Israel.”
33 यीशुएरे अम्मा बाजी शमौनेरी एना गल्लां शुन्तां हक्के-बक्के भोए।
While the child’s father and mother were wondering at what was said about him,
34 तैखन शमौने तैन बरकत दित्ती, ते तैसेरी अम्मा मरियम सेइं ज़ोवं, “हेरा, इन मट्ठू एल्हेरेलेइ ठहरावरो, कि इस्राएले मां बड़े लोकां केरे लेइ नाश भोनेरी ते मुक्ति मैलनेरी वजा भोए, तै परमेशरेरी तरफां अक निशान आए पन बड़े लोक तैसेरे खलाफ भोले।
Simeon gave them his blessing, and said to Mary, the child’s mother, “This child is appointed to be the cause of the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign much spoken against –
35 ताके बड़े दिलां केरे खियाल खुल्ली गान ते तीं बड़ो दुःख भोनोए ज़ेन्च़रे तलवार कटतीए।”
Yes, the sword will pierce your own heart – and so the thoughts in many minds will be disclosed.”
36 तैड़ी अक कुआन्श थी ज़ै नबिन थी, तैसारू नवं हन्नाह थियूं, अशेरेरे खानदाने मरां अक मैन्हु ज़ेसेरू नवं फनूएल थियूं, हन्नाह तैसेरी कुई थी तै बड़ी बुढी थी तै अपने ड्लाहेरां बाद सत साल अपने मुन्शे सेइं साथी रहोरी थी।
There was also a prophet named Hannah, a daughter of Phanuel and of the tribe of Asher. She was far advanced in years, having lived with her husband for seven years after marriage,
37 तै विधवा थी तैसारी उमर चूरासी साल थी तै मन्दरे मरां न थी गाती ते रात दिहैड़ी प्रार्थना ते कने बरतां रखती ते परमेशरेरी आराधना केरती रहती थी।
and then a widow, until she had reached the age of eighty-four. She never left the Temple Courts, but, fasting and praying, worshiped God night and day.
38 तैखन तै भी तैड़ी एइतां परमेशरेरू शुक्र केरने लगी ते बच्चेरे बारे मां तैन सेब्भन सेइं गल्लां लाई केरने, ज़ैना बलगने लोरे थिये कि परमेशरे यरूशलेम नगरेरे लोकन छुटानेरे लेइ मसीह भेज़नोए।
At that moment she came up, and began publicly to thank God and to speak about the child to all who were looking for the deliverance of Jerusalem.
39 ज़ैखन मरियम ते यूसुफे मूसेरे कानूनेरे मुताबिक यीशुएरो खतनो कियो, त तैना गलील इलाके मरां अपने नगर नासरते मांजो जे।
When the child’s parents had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.
40 तैन मट्ठू बडोतू जेवं ते अक्लमन्द भोतू जेवं किजोकि परमेशरेरो तैस पुड़ बड़ो अनुग्रह थियो।
The child grew and became strong and wise, and the blessing of God was on him.
41 यीशुएरे अम्मा बाजी हर साल फ़सह तिहारेरी दिहाड़ी बनाने यरूशलेम नगरे मां गाते थिये।
Every year the child’s parents used to go to Jerusalem at the Passover Festival.
42 ज़ैखन यीशु 12 सालां केरो भोव त तैना रीतरे मुताबिक यरूशलेम नगरे मां जे।
When Jesus was twelve years old, they went according to custom to Jerusalem,
43 ज़ैखन तिहार बीतू त यीशुएरे अम्मा बाजी वापस घरजो आए त यीशु यरूशलेम नगरे मां रेइ जेव ते तैसेरे अम्मा बाजी कोई पतो न थियो।
and had finished their visit; but, when they started to return, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, without their knowing it.
44 तैनेईं बुझ़ू कि यीशु होरि मैनन् सेइं साथी अग्रोवं जोरोए, तैना अपने रिशतेदारन ते ज़ान पिशानी बालन मां तोपने लगे।
Thinking that he was with their fellow travelers, they went one day’s journey before searching for him among their relatives and acquaintances;
45 ज़ैखन तैन यीशु न मैल्लो त तैना वापस तोपते-तोपते यरूशलेम नगरे मां पुज़े।
and then, as they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching everywhere for him.
46 ट्लेइयोवं दिहाड़े तैन यीशु मन्दरेरे अंगने मां बुज़ुर्ग लोकन सेइं गलबात केरतो ते तैन सेइं सवाल जुवाब केरतो मैल्लो।
It was not until the third day that they found him in the Temple Courts, sitting among the teachers, now listening to them, now asking them questions.
47 ज़ैना लोक तैसेरी गल्लां शुन्ने लोरे थिये तैना यीशुएरी गल्लां शुन्तां हैरान रेइजे।
All who listened to him marveled at his intelligence and his answers.
48 ज़ैखन तैसेरे हाज बव्वेईं यीशु लाव त तैना हैरान रेइजे ते ज़ोने लगे, “मट्ठां तीं असन सेइं एन कुन कमाव? तेरे हाज बव तीं तोपते-तोपते परेशान भोइ जे।”
His parents were amazed when they saw him, and his mother said to him, “My child, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.”
49 यीशु तैन सेइं ज़ोवं तुस मीं किजो तोपने लग्गोरो थिये? “तुसन पतो नईं कि मीं अपने बाजेरे घरे मां रानू ज़रूरी थियूं?”
“What made you search for me?” he answered. “Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
50 पन तैन तैना गल्लां केरि समझ़ न आई कि, एन केरो कुन मतलब आए।
His parents did not understand what he meant.
51 तैखन तै अपने अम्मा बाजी सेइं साथी नासरत नगरे मां अव ते अपने अम्मा बाजी कां राव ते मरियमा एना सैरी गल्लां अपने दिले मां रेख्खी।
However he went down with them to Nazareth, and submitted himself to their control; and his mother treasured all that was said in her heart.
52 यीशु अक्ली मां भी ते कदे मां भी बेडोतो जेव ते परमेशरेरी ते इन्सानेरी कृपाई मां बद्धतो जेव।
And Jesus grew in wisdom as he grew in years, and gained the blessing of God and people.
