< Luke 1 >

1 My noble [friend] Theophilus, many people saw the things that [Jesus] did while he was with us, from the time when he started [MTY] [his ministry]. They served God [by teaching people] the message [about the Lord Jesus]. Many of those who heard what they taught wrote down for us accounts of the things that [Jesus did from the time when] he began [his ministry].
प्रिय थियुफिलुस: बहुत सो न उन बातों ख जो हमरो बीच म बीती हंय, इतिहास लिखन म हाथ लगायो हय।
2
जसो कि उन्न जो पहले सीच इन बातों ख देखन वालो अऊर सुसमाचार को प्रचार करन वालो न, हम तक पहुंचायो।
3 I myself have studied these accounts carefully. So I decided that it would be good for me also to write for you [(sg)] an accurate account of these matters.
अऊर येकोलायी, मान्यवर थियुफिलुस मोख भी यो ठीक मालूम भयो कि उन सब बातों को पूरो हाल सुरूवात सी ठीक-ठीक जांच कर क्, उन्ख तोरो लायी एक को बाद एक लिखूं।
4 I want you to know the truth about what you have been taught {what others have taught you}.
मय असो येकोलायी कहू हय कि तोख हर वा चिज को बारे म पूरी सच्चायी मालूम होय जाये जो तोख सिखायी गयी हय।
5 When King Herod [the Great ruled] Judea [district], there was a [Jewish] priest named Zechariah. He belonged to the [group of priests called] the Abijah group. He and his wife Elizabeth were both descended from the [first priest of Israel], Aaron.
यहूदिया को राजा हेरोदेस को समय अबिय्याह को दल म जकर्याह नाम को एक याजक होतो। अऊर ओकी पत्नी हारून को वंश की होती; जेको नाम इलीशिबा होतो।
6 [God considered that] both of them were righteous, because they constantly completely obeyed everything that God had commanded.
हि दोयी परमेश्वर को आगु सच्चो होतो, अऊर प्रभु की पूरी आज्ञावों अऊर पूरी विधियों पर निर्दोष चलन वालो होतो।
7 But they had no children, because Elizabeth had been unable to bear children. Furthermore, she and her husband were very old.
उन्की कोयी भी सन्तान नहीं होती, कहालीकि इलीशिबा बांझ होती, अऊर हि दोयी बूढ्ढा होतो।
8 One day [Zechariah’s] group was doing their work [in the Temple in Jerusalem], and he was serving as a priest in God’s presence.
जब ऊ मन्दिर म अपनो दल की पारी पर परमेश्वर को आगु याजक को काम करत होतो,
9 Following their custom, [the other priests] chose him by lot to enter the Lord’s temple and burn incense.
त याजकों की रीति को अनुसार ओको नाम की चिट्ठी निकली कि प्रभु को मन्दिर म जाय क धूप जलायेंन।
10 While he was burning the incense, many people were outside [in the courtyard], praying.
धूप जलावन को समय लोगों की पूरी मण्डली बाहेर प्रार्थना कर रही होती।
11 Then an angel whom God had [sent] appeared to him. The angel was standing at the right side of the place [where the priests burned] incense.
ऊ समय प्रभु को एक स्वर्गदूत धूप की वेदी को दायो तरफ जकर्याह ख प्रगट भयो दिखायी दियो।
12 When Zechariah saw the angel, he was startled and became very afraid.
जकर्याह देख क घबरायो अऊर ओको पर बड़ो डर छाय गयो।
13 But the angel said to him, “Zechariah, do not be afraid! When you [(sg)] prayed [asking God for a son] (OR, [that God would send the Messiah]), God heard what you prayed. [So] your wife Elizabeth shall bear a son. You must name him John.
पर स्वर्गदूत न ओको सी कह्यो, “हे जकर्याह, डरू मत! कहालीकि तोरी प्रार्थना सुन लियो हय, अऊर तोरी पत्नी इलीशिबा सी तोरो लायी एक बेटा पैदा होयेंन। अऊर तय ओको नाम यूहन्ना रखजो।
14 He will cause you to be very happy, and many other people will also be happy because he is born.
अऊर तोख बहुत खुशी होयेंन, अऊर बहुत लोग ओको जनम को वजह खुश होयेंन!
15 God will consider him to be very important. He must never drink wine or any other alcoholic drink, [in order that he will be completely dedicated to God]. He will be controlled by the Holy Spirit {The Holy Spirit will control him} from before he is born.
कहालीकि ऊ प्रभु को आगु महान होयेंन; अऊर नशा वालो अंगूररस अऊर मदिरा कभी नहीं पीयेंन; अऊर अपनी माय को गर्भ सीच पवित्र आत्मा सी परिपूर्ण होय जायेंन;
16 He will [persuade] many people in Israel to turn away [from their sins and please] the Lord their God.
अऊर इस्राएलियों म सी बहुत सो ख उन्को प्रभु परमेश्वर को तरफ वापस लायेंन।
17 As [God’s] Spirit enables him [to preach] powerfully as [the prophet] Elijah did, he will precede [the Messiah]. He will cause parents [SYN] to act [peacefully] toward their children [again]. He will cause [many] people who do not obey [God to hear and obey] the wise things that righteous people [tell them]. He will do this in order to help [many] people to be ready when the Lord [comes].”
ऊ नबी एलिय्याह को जसो आत्मा अऊर सामर्थ म होय क प्रभु सी आगु निकल जायेंन। कि बाप को मन बाल-बच्चां को तरफ घुमाय देयेंन; अऊर आज्ञा नहीं मानन वालो ख धर्मियों की समझ पर लाये; अऊर प्रभु लायी एक लायक प्रजा तैयार करेंन।”
18 Then Zechariah said to the angel, “I am very old, and my wife is also so old [that she cannot bear a child. So] (I cannot [believe] that what you [(sg)] said [will happen]!/how can I [believe] that what you [(sg)] said [will happen]?) [RHQ]”
जकर्याह न स्वर्गदूत सी पुच्छ्यो, “यो मय कसो जानु? कहालीकि मय त बूढ्ढा हय; अऊर मोरी पत्नी भी बूढ्ढी होय गयी हय।”
19 Then the angel said to him, “I am [God’s chief angel], Gabriel! [I do what God tells me, because] I constantly am in God’s presence! I was sent {[He] sent me} to tell you [(sg)] something good [that is going to happen to you].
स्वर्गदूत न ओख उत्तर दियो, “मय जिब्राईल आय, जो परमेश्वर को आगु खड़ो रहू हय; अऊर मय तोरो सी बाते करन अऊर तोख यो सुसमाचार सुनावन लायी भेज्यो गयो हय।
20 What I have told you will certainly happen at the time [God decides], but you did not believe what I told you. So now [God will make] you will be unable to talk until the day [your son is born]”!
देख, जब तक या बाते पूरी नहीं होय, तब तक तय मुक्का रहजो अऊर बोल नहीं सकजो, कहालीकि तय न मोरी बातों ख जो अपनो समय पर पूरी होन वाली होती, ओको पर विश्वास नहीं करयो।”
21 While [Zechariah and the angel] were talking, the people [in the courtyard] were waiting for Zechariah [to come out]. They wondered, “Why is he staying in the Temple for such a long time?”
लोग जकर्याह की रस्ता देखतच रह्यो अऊर अचम्भा करन लग्यो कि ओख मन्दिर म इतनी देर कहाली लगी।
22 When Zechariah came out, he was not able to speak to the people. Because he could not talk, he made motions with his hands [to try to convey what had happened]. Then they realized that he had seen (a vision [from God]/something that [God] showed him) while he was in the Temple.
जब ऊ बाहेर आयो, त ओन उन्को सी बात नहीं कर सक्यो: येकोलायी हि जान गयो कि ओन मन्दिर म कोयी दर्शन पायो हय; अऊर ऊ अपनो हाथों सी उन्ख इशारा करतो रह्यो, अऊर मुक्का बन गयो।
23 When Zechariah’s time to work [as a priest in the Temple] was finished, he [left Jerusalem and] returned to his home.
जब जकर्याह को मन्दिर म को सेवा को दिन पूरो भयो, त ऊ अपनो घर चली गयो।
24 Some time later his wife Elizabeth became pregnant [EUP]. She did not leave their house for five months, [because she knew that people would laugh at her if she told them that she was pregnant].
ऊ दिन को बाद सी ओकी पत्नी इलीशिबा गर्भवती भयी; अऊर पाच महीना तक अपनो आप ख यो कह्य क लूकाय क रख्यो,
25 But she thought, “God has enabled me to become pregnant. He has pitied me and I will no longer be ashamed [because I have no children]!”
“आदमियों म मोरो अपमान को दूर करन लायी, प्रभु न इन दिनो म दयादृष्टि कर क् मोरो लायी असो करयो हय।”
26 When Elizabeth had been [pregnant] [EUP] [for almost] six months, the angel Gabriel was sent by God {God sent the angel Gabriel} [again].
इलीशिबा को गर्भ धारन को छठवो महीना म परमेश्वर को तरफ सी जिब्राईल स्वर्गदूत, गलील को नासरत नगर म,
27 [This time] he went to Nazareth [town] in Galilee [district], to a virgin whose name was Mary. It had been {[Her parents] had} promised that she would marry a man named Joseph, who was descended from [King] David.
एक कुंवारी को जवर भेज्यो गयो जेकी मंगनी यूसुफ नाम को दाऊद को घराना को एक पुरुष सी भयी होती: वा कुंवारी को नाम मरियम होतो।
28 The angel greeted her and said, “(The Lord/God) is with you [(sg)] and you will be greatly blessed {[has decided to] greatly bless you}!”
स्वर्गदूत न ओको जवर अन्दर आय क कह्यो, “खुशी अऊर आशीर्वाद तोरो संग हय, जेक पर ईश्वर को अनुग्रह भयो हय! प्रभु तोरो संग हय!”
29 But Mary was very confused [when she heard] that. She wondered what [the angel meant] by these words.
मरियम ऊ वचन सी बहुत परेशान भय गयी, अऊर सोचन लगी कि यो कसो तरह को अभिवादन आय?
30 Then the angel said to her, “Mary, God is very pleased with you [(sg)], so do not be afraid.
स्वर्गदूत न ओको सी कह्यो, “हे मरियम, डरो मत, कहालीकि परमेश्वर को अनुग्रह तोरो पर भयो हय।
31 You will become pregnant and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus.
देख, तय गर्भवती होजो, अऊर तोख एक बेटा पैदा होयेंन; तय ओको नाम यीशु रखजो।
32 He will become great. He will be called {[People will] call him} (the Son of God/the man who is also God). God, the Lord, will make him a king [MTY] as his ancestor [King] David was.
ऊ महान होयेंन अऊर परमप्रधान परमेश्वर को बेटा कह्यो जायेंन, अऊर प्रभु परमेश्वर ओको बाप दाऊद को सिंहासन ओख देयेंन,
33 He will be the King of [the] Jews, the descendants [MTY] of [your ancestor] Jacob, forever. He will rule as king forever!” (aiōn g165)
अऊर ऊ याकूब को घरानों पर हमेशा राज करेंन; अऊर ओको राज्य कभी खतम नहीं होयेंन।” (aiōn g165)
34 Then Mary said to the angel, “I am a virgin, so how can I [have a baby]?”
मरियम न स्वर्गदूत सी कह्यो, “यो कसो होयेंन। मय त कोयी भी पुरुष ख जानु नहाय।”
35 The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come to you; the power of God [MTY/EUP] will overshadow you [and enable you to become pregnant]. So the child [you will] bear will be completely set apart {give himself completely} to obey God, and he will be called {[people] will say that he is} (the Son of God/the man who is also God).
स्वर्गदूत न ओख उत्तर दियो, “पवित्र आत्मा तोरो पर उतरेंन, अऊर परमेश्वर जो सब सी ऊचो हय ओकी सामर्थ तोरो पर छायेंन; येकोलायी ऊ पवित्र जो पैदा होन वालो हय, परमेश्वर को बेटा कहलायेंन।
36 [I also need to tell you something else]. Your cousin Elizabeth is very old, and it was thought {[people] said} that she could not bear any children. But she has been [pregnant] [EUP] [for almost] six months, and will bear a son!
अऊर देख, तोरी कुटुम्बिनी इलीशिबा ख भी बुढ़्ढापा म बेटा होन वालो हय, यो ओको, जो बांझ कहलावत होती ओको गर्भ धारन को छठवो महीना हय।
37 [You should not be surprised at that], because God can do everything!”
कहालीकि जो वचन परमेश्वर को तरफ सी होवय हय ऊ असम्भव नहीं होवय।”
38 Then Mary said, “All right, I want to serve (the Lord/God), so may what you [(sg)] have said about me come true!” Then the angel left her.
मरियम न कह्यो, “देख मय प्रभु की दासी आय, मोख तोरो वचन को अनुसार हो।” तब स्वर्गदूत ओको जवर सी चली गयो।
39 Very soon after that, Mary got ready and went quickly to a town in the highlands of Judea [district] where Zechariah lived.
उन दिनो म मरियम उठ क जल्दीच पहाड़ी देश म यहूदा को एक नगर ख गयी,
40 She entered his house and greeted [his wife] Elizabeth.
ओन जकर्याह को घर म जाय क इलीशिबा ख नमस्कार करी।
41 As soon as Elizabeth heard Mary greet her, the baby moved inside [Elizabeth’s] womb. The Holy Spirit took complete control of Elizabeth,
जसोच इलीशिबा न मरियम को नमस्कार सुन्यो, वसोच बच्चा ओको पेट म उछल्यो, अऊर इलीशिबा पवित्र आत्मा सी परिपूर्ण भय गयी।
42 and she said loudly [to Mary], “[God] has blessed you [more than] he has blessed [any other] woman, and [he has] blessed the child you will bear!
अऊर ओन बड़ो आवाज सी पुकार क कह्यो, “तय पूरी बाईयों म सब सी जादा आशीर्वाद हय, अऊर तोरो पेट को बच्चा आशीर्वाद हय!
43 (I am not worthy that [God would allow you] to visit me!/Why is [God allowing you] to visit me?) [RHQ] You will be the mother of my Lord!
यो अनुग्रह मोख कित सी भयो कि मोरो प्रभु की माय मोरो जवर आयी?
44 [I realize this because] as soon as I heard you greet me, the baby inside my womb moved because he was so happy [that you had come].
जसोच तोरो नमस्कार को आवाज मोरो कानो म पड़्यो, वसोच बच्चा मोरो पेट म खुशी सी उछल पड़्यो।
45 [God] is pleased with you [because] you believed that what (the Lord/God) told you would come true.”
धन्य हय ऊ जेन विश्वास करयो कि जो बाते प्रभु को तरफ सी ओको सी कहीं गयी, हि पूरी होयेंन!”
46 Then Mary [praised God by] saying/singing: “, how I [SYN] praise (the Lord/God)!
तब मरियम न कह्यो, “मोरो जीव प्रभु की बड़ायी करय हय
47 I am happy because God is the one who saves me.
अऊर मोरी आत्मा मोरो उद्धार करन वालो परमेश्वर सी खुश भयी,
48 I was only his lowly servant girl, but he did not forget me. So from now on, everyone will say that God was pleased with me,
कहालीकि ओन अपनी दासी पर नजर करी हय; येकोलायी देखो, अब सी पूरो युग-युग को लोग मोख धन्य कहेंन,
49 because they will hear about the things that God [MTY], the mighty one, has done for me. He [MTY] is awesome!
कहालीकि ऊ सर्वशक्तिमान परमेश्वर न मोरो लायी बड़ो बड़ो काम करयो हय। ओको नाम पवित्र हय,
50 He acts mercifully toward all those who respect him.
एक पीढ़ी सी दूसरी पीढ़ी म, ऊ उन लोगों पर दया करय हय, जो ओको आदर करय हंय।
51 He shows people that he [MTY] is very powerful. He scatters those who think proudly.
ओन अपनो ताकतवर भुजा दिखायो, अऊर जो अपनो आप ख बड़ो समझत होतो, उन्ख तितर-बितर कर दियो।
52 He does not let mighty kings rule [MTY] any more, but he honors people who are oppressed (OR, humble).
ओन राजावों ख उन्को सिंहासनों सी गिराय दियो; अऊर नम्र लोगों ख ऊंचो करयो।
53 He gives good things to eat to those who are hungry, but he sends away the rich people without giving them anything.
ओन भूखो ख अच्छी चिजों सी सन्तुष्ट करयो, अऊर धनवानों ख खाली हाथ निकाल दियो।
54 And now he has remembered what he promised. So he has helped me and all the other people of [MTY] Israel who serve him.
ओन अपनो सेवक इस्राएल ख सम्भाल लियो कि अपनो ऊ दया ख याद करेंन,
55 He promised to Abraham and all our other ancestors who descended from him that he would act mercifully toward them forever.” (aiōn g165)
जो अब्राहम अऊर ओको वंश पर हमेशा रहेंन, जसो ओन हमरो बापदादों सी कह्यो होतो।” (aiōn g165)
56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months. Then she returned to her home.
मरियम लगभग तीन महीना इलीशिबा को संग रह्य क अपनो घर लौट गयी।
57 When it was time for Elizabeth to give birth to her child, she bore a son.
तब इलीशिबा को प्रसव को समय पूरो भयो, अऊर ओन बेटा ख जनम दियो।
58 Her neighbors and relatives heard how (the Lord/God) had greatly blessed her [by enabling her to bear a child], so they were happy along with [Elizabeth].
ओको पड़ोसियों अऊर कुटुम्बियों न यो सुन क कि प्रभु न ओको पर बड़ी दया करी हय, ओको संग खुशी मनायो।
59 Seven days later they gathered together for the [ceremony for] circumcising the baby [to show that he belonged to God]. They wanted to give the baby the same name as his father, Zechariah.
अऊर असो भयो कि आठवो दिन हि बच्चा को खतना करन आयो अऊर ओको नाम ओको बाप को नाम पर जकर्याह रखन लग्यो।
60 But his mother said, “No, [his name will not be Zechariah]. His name will be John!”
येको पर ओकी माय न उत्तर दियो, “नहीं; बल्की ओको नाम यूहन्ना रख्यो जाय।”
61 [So] they said to her, “[John] is not the name of any of your [(dl)] relatives, [so you(dl) should not give him that name]!”
उन्न ओको सी कह्यो, “तोरो कुटुम्ब म कोयी को यो नाम नहाय!”
62 Then they made motions with their hands to Zechariah, [for him] to indicate what name [he] wanted to be given {to give} to his son.
तब उन्न ओको बाप सी इशारा कर क् पुच्छ्यो कि तय ओको नाम का रखनो चाहवय हय?
63 [So] he signaled that they [should give him] a tablet [to write on. When they gave him one], he wrote [on it], “His name is John.” All those [who were there] were surprised!
जकर्याह न एक लिखन की पाटी मांगी अऊर लिख दियो, “ओको नाम यूहन्ना आय,” अऊर सब अचम्भित भयो।
64 Immediately Zechariah was able to speak again [MTY], and he praised God.
तब ओको मुंह अऊर जीबली तुरतच खुल गयी; अऊर ऊ बोलन अऊर परमेश्वर को महिमा करन लग्यो।
65 All their neighbors were amazed/awestruck! They told other people who lived all over the highlands of Judea about what had happened.
ओको आजु बाजू को सब रहन वालो पर डर छाय गयो; अऊर उन सब बातों की चर्चा यहूदिया को पूरो पहाड़ी प्रदेश म फैल गयी,
66 Everyone who heard about it kept thinking about it. They were saying, “We wonder what will this child do [for God when] he [grows up] [RHQ]!” They wondered that because [from what had happened they were sure that] God would be helping that child [SYN] [in a powerful way].
अऊर सब सुनन वालो न अपनो-अपनो मन म बिचार कर क् कह्यो, “यो बच्चा कसो होयेंन?” कहालीकि प्रभु को हाथ ओको पर होतो।
67 [After] Zechariah’s [son was born], Zechariah was completely directed by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit completely directed Zechariah} as he spoke these words that came from God:
ओको बाप जकर्याह पवित्र आत्मा सी परिपूर्ण भय गयो, अऊर परमेश्वर को खबर देन लग्यो:
68 “Praise the Lord, the God whom we(inc) people of Israel worship, because he has come to set us, his people, free from our enemies.
“प्रभु इस्राएल को परमेश्वर की महिमा हो, कहालीकि ओन अपनो लोगों पर नजर करी अऊर उन्को छुटकारा करयो हय,
69 He is sending us someone who will powerfully [MTY] save us, someone who is descended from [MTY] King David, who served God well.
अऊर अपनो सेवक दाऊद को घराना म ओन हमरो लायी एक शक्तिशाली उद्धारकर्ता दियो हय,
70 Long ago God caused his prophets to say that he would do that. (aiōn g165)
ओन अपनो पवित्र भविष्यवक्तावों को द्वारा जो जगत को सुरूवात सी होत आयो हंय, कह्यो होतो, (aiōn g165)
71 He will rescue us from our enemies, and he will save us from the power of all those who hate us.
यानेकि हमरो दुश्मनों सी, अऊर हमरो सब दुश्मनों को हाथ सी हमरो उद्धार करयो हय,
72 He will do this because he has not forgotten what he promised our ancestors; he made an agreement that he would act mercifully to us, their descendants.
ओन कह्यो होतो कि अपनो पूर्वजों पर दया कर क् अपनी पवित्र वाचा ख याद करेंन,
73 That is what he strongly promised our ancestor Abraham that he would do.
वा कसम ओन हमरो बाप अब्राहम सी खायी होती,
74 God told him that we would be rescued {he would rescue us} from the power of our enemies, that he would enable us to serve him without being afraid,
कि हमरो दुश्मनों को हाथों सी हमरो छुटकारा हो अऊर बिना कोयी डर को प्रभु की सेवा करन की अनुमति मिले।
75 that he would cause us to be completely dedicated to him, and enable us to live righteously all of our lives.”
ओको आगु पवित्रता अऊर सच्चायी सी जीवन भर निडर रह्य क ओकी सेवा करतो रहबो।
76 [Then Zechariah said this to] his little son: “My child, you will be called {people will say that you are} a prophet whom God [MTY/EUP] has sent; you will begin your work before (the Lord/Messiah) comes; you will prepare people so that they will be ready for him. (OR, you will begin your work before the Messiah comes).
अऊर तय मोरो बच्चा, परमप्रधान परमेश्वर जो सब सी ऊचो हय। भविष्यवक्ता कहलायेंन, कहालीकि तय प्रभु को रस्ता तैयार करन लायी ओको आगु-आगु चलेंन,
77 You will tell God’s people how he will forgive them and save them from being punished for their sins.
कि ओको लोगों ख उद्धार को ज्ञान देयेंन, कि उन्को पापों की माफी सी होवय हय।
78 Our God will do that because he is very kind to us. Just like a new day begins when the sun rises [MET], God will do that new thing for us when the Messiah comes to us from heaven.
यो हमरो परमेश्वर की बड़ी दया सी होयेंन; जेको वजह ऊपर सी हम पर उद्धार को प्रकाश उदय होयेंन,
79 People who do not know God [MET] are like those who sit in the darkness. They are afraid [MTY] that they will soon die. But when the Messiah tells us God’s message, it will be like causing such people to see a bright light. He will guide us [SYN] so that we will be living peacefully.”
कि अन्धकार अऊर मरन की छाया म बैठन वालो ख उद्धार को प्रकाश देयेंन, अऊर हमरो पाय ख शान्ति को रस्ता म सीधो चलाये।”
80 [Later], Zechariah’s son grew up and became spiritually strong. Then he lived in a desolate region until he began to preach to the Israeli people.
अऊर ऊ बच्चा बढ़तो अऊर आत्मा म बलवन्त होत गयो, अऊर इस्राएल पर प्रगट होन को दिन तक जंगल म रह्यो।
