Luke 2
1 And it came to pass in those days, there went forth a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world be enrolled —
अपरञ्च तस्मिन् काले राज्यस्य सर्व्वेषां लोकानां नामानि लेखयितुम् अगस्तकैसर आज्ञापयामास।
2 this enrolment first came to pass when Cyrenius was governor of Syria —
तदनुसारेण कुरीणियनामनि सुरियादेशस्य शासके सति नामलेखनं प्रारेभे।
3 and all were going to be enrolled, each to his proper city,
अतो हेतो र्नाम लेखितुं सर्व्वे जनाः स्वीयं स्वीयं नगरं जग्मुः।
4 and Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, that is called Bethlehem, because of his being of the house and family of David,
तदानीं यूषफ् नाम लेखितुं वाग्दत्तया स्वभार्य्यया गर्ब्भवत्या मरियमा सह स्वयं दायूदः सजातिवंश इति कारणाद् गालील्प्रदेशस्य नासरत्नगराद्
5 to enrol himself with Mary his betrothed wife, being with child.
यिहूदाप्रदेशस्य बैत्लेहमाख्यं दायूद्नगरं जगाम।
6 And it came to pass, in their being there, the days were fulfilled for her bringing forth,
अन्यच्च तत्र स्थाने तयोस्तिष्ठतोः सतो र्मरियमः प्रसूतिकाल उपस्थिते
7 and she brought forth her son — the first-born, and wrapped him up, and laid him down in the manger, because there was not for them a place in the guest-chamber.
सा तं प्रथमसुतं प्रासोष्ट किन्तु तस्मिन् वासगृहे स्थानाभावाद् बालकं वस्त्रेण वेष्टयित्वा गोशालायां स्थापयामास।
8 And there were shepherds in the same region, lodging in the field, and keeping the night-watches over their flock,
अनन्तरं ये कियन्तो मेषपालकाः स्वमेषव्रजरक्षायै तत्प्रदेशे स्थित्वा रजन्यां प्रान्तरे प्रहरिणः कर्म्म कुर्व्वन्ति,
9 and lo, a messenger of the Lord stood over them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they feared a great fear.
तेषां समीपं परमेश्वरस्य दूत आगत्योपतस्थौ; तदा चतुष्पार्श्वे परमेश्वरस्य तेजसः प्रकाशितत्वात् तेऽतिशशङ्किरे।
10 And the messenger said to them, 'Fear not, for lo, I bring you good news of great joy, that shall be to all the people —
तदा स दूत उवाच मा भैष्ट पश्यताद्य दायूदः पुरे युष्मन्निमित्तं त्राता प्रभुः ख्रीष्टोऽजनिष्ट,
11 because there was born to you to-day a Saviour — who is Christ the Lord — in the city of David,
सर्व्वेषां लोकानां महानन्दजनकम् इमं मङ्गलवृत्तान्तं युष्मान् ज्ञापयामि।
12 and this [is] to you the sign: Ye shall find a babe wrapped up, lying in the manger.'
यूयं (तत्स्थानं गत्वा) वस्त्रवेष्टितं तं बालकं गोशालायां शयनं द्रक्ष्यथ युष्मान् प्रतीदं चिह्नं भविष्यति।
13 And suddenly there came with the messenger a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying,
दूत इमां कथां कथितवति तत्राकस्मात् स्वर्गीयाः पृतना आगत्य कथाम् इमां कथयित्वेश्वरस्य गुणानन्ववादिषुः, यथा,
14 'Glory in the highest to God, and upon earth peace, among men — good will.'
सर्व्वोर्द्व्वस्थैरीश्वरस्य महिमा सम्प्रकाश्यतां। शान्तिर्भूयात् पृथिव्यास्तु सन्तोषश्च नरान् प्रति॥
15 And it came to pass, when the messengers were gone away from them to the heavens, that the men, the shepherds, said unto one another, 'We may go over indeed unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that hath come to pass, that the Lord did make known to us.'
ततः परं तेषां सन्निधे र्दूतगणे स्वर्गं गते मेषपालकाः परस्परम् अवेचन् आगच्छत प्रभुः परमेश्वरो यां घटनां ज्ञापितवान् तस्या याथर्यं ज्ञातुं वयमधुना बैत्लेहम्पुरं यामः।
16 And they came, having hasted, and found both Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger,
पश्चात् ते तूर्णं व्रजित्वा मरियमं यूषफं गोशालायां शयनं बालकञ्च ददृशुः।
17 and having seen, they made known abroad concerning the saying spoken to them concerning the child.
इत्थं दृष्ट्वा बालकस्यार्थे प्रोक्तां सर्व्वकथां ते प्राचारयाञ्चक्रुः।
18 And all who heard, did wonder concerning the things spoken by the shepherds unto them;
ततो ये लोका मेषरक्षकाणां वदनेभ्यस्तां वार्त्तां शुश्रुवुस्ते महाश्चर्य्यं मेनिरे।
19 and Mary was preserving all these things, pondering in her heart;
किन्तु मरियम् एतत्सर्व्वघटनानां तात्पर्य्यं विविच्य मनसि स्थापयामास।
20 and the shepherds turned back, glorifying and praising God, for all those things they heard and saw, as it was spoken unto them.
तत्पश्चाद् दूतविज्ञप्तानुरूपं श्रुत्वा दृष्ट्वा च मेषपालका ईश्वरस्य गुणानुवादं धन्यवादञ्च कुर्व्वाणाः परावृत्य ययुः।
21 And when eight days were fulfilled to circumcise the child, then was his name called Jesus, having been so called by the messenger before his being conceived in the womb.
अथ बालकस्य त्वक्छेदनकालेऽष्टमदिवसे समुपस्थिते तस्य गर्ब्भस्थितेः पुर्व्वं स्वर्गीयदूतो यथाज्ञापयत् तदनुरूपं ते तन्नामधेयं यीशुरिति चक्रिरे।
22 And when the days of their purification were fulfilled, according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present to the Lord,
ततः परं मूसालिखितव्यवस्थाया अनुसारेण मरियमः शुचित्वकाल उपस्थिते,
23 as it hath been written in the Law of the Lord, — 'Every male opening a womb shall be called holy to the Lord,'
"प्रथमजः सर्व्वः पुरुषसन्तानः परमेश्वरे समर्प्यतां," इति परमेश्वरस्य व्यवस्थया
24 and to give a sacrifice, according to that said in the Law of the Lord, 'A pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons.'
यीशुं परमेश्वरे समर्पयितुम् शास्त्रीयविध्युक्तं कपोतद्वयं पारावतशावकद्वयं वा बलिं दातुं ते तं गृहीत्वा यिरूशालमम् आययुः।
25 And lo, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name [is] Simeon, and this man is righteous and devout, looking for the comforting of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him,
यिरूशालम्पुरनिवासी शिमियोन्नामा धार्म्मिक एक आसीत् स इस्रायेलः सान्त्वनामपेक्ष्य तस्थौ किञ्च पवित्र आत्मा तस्मिन्नाविर्भूतः।
26 and it hath been divinely told him by the Holy Spirit — not to see death before he may see the Christ of the Lord.
अपरं प्रभुणा परमेश्वरेणाभिषिक्ते त्रातरि त्वया न दृष्टे त्वं न मरिष्यसीति वाक्यं पवित्रेण आत्मना तस्म प्राकथ्यत।
27 And he came in the Spirit to the temple, and in the parents bringing in the child Jesus, for their doing according to the custom of the law regarding him,
अपरञ्च यदा यीशोः पिता माता च तदर्थं व्यवस्थानुरूपं कर्म्म कर्त्तुं तं मन्दिरम् आनिन्यतुस्तदा
28 then he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and he said,
शिमियोन् आत्मन आकर्षणेन मन्दिरमागत्य तं क्रोडे निधाय ईश्वरस्य धन्यवादं कृत्वा कथयामास, यथा,
29 'Now Thou dost send away Thy servant, Lord, according to Thy word, in peace,
हे प्रभो तव दासोयं निजवाक्यानुसारतः। इदानीन्तु सकल्याणो भवता संविसृज्यताम्।
30 because mine eyes did see Thy salvation,
यतः सकलदेशस्य दीप्तये दीप्तिरूपकं।
31 which Thou didst prepare before the face of all the peoples,
इस्रायेलीयलोकस्य महागौरवरूपकं।
32 a light to the uncovering of nations, and the glory of Thy people Israel.'
यं त्रायकं जनानान्तु सम्मुखे त्वमजीजनः। सएव विद्यतेऽस्माकं ध्रवं नयननगोचरे॥
33 And Joseph and his mother were wondering at the things spoken concerning him,
तदानीं तेनोक्ता एताः सकलाः कथाः श्रुत्वा तस्य माता यूषफ् च विस्मयं मेनाते।
34 and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, 'Lo, this [one] is set for the falling and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against —
ततः परं शिमियोन् तेभ्य आशिषं दत्त्वा तन्मातरं मरियमम् उवाच, पश्य इस्रायेलो वंशमध्ये बहूनां पातनायोत्थापनाय च तथा विरोधपात्रं भवितुं, बहूनां गुप्तमनोगतानां प्रकटीकरणाय बालकोयं नियुक्तोस्ति।
35 (and also thine own soul shall a sword pass through) — that the reasonings of many hearts may be revealed.'
तस्मात् तवापि प्राणाः शूलेन व्यत्स्यन्ते।
36 And there was Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, she was much advanced in days, having lived with an husband seven years from her virginity,
अपरञ्च आशेरस्य वंशीयफिनूयेलो दुहिता हन्नाख्या अतिजरती भविष्यद्वादिन्येका या विवाहात् परं सप्त वत्सरान् पत्या सह न्यवसत् ततो विधवा भूत्वा चतुरशीतिवर्षवयःपर्य्यनतं
37 and she [is] a widow of about eighty-four years, who did depart not from the temple, with fasts and supplications serving, night and day,
मन्दिरे स्थित्वा प्रार्थनोपवासैर्दिवानिशम् ईश्वरम् असेवत सापि स्त्री तस्मिन् समये मन्दिरमागत्य
38 and she, at that hour, having come in, was confessing, likewise, to the Lord, and was speaking concerning him, to all those looking for redemption in Jerusalem.
परमेश्वरस्य धन्यवादं चकार, यिरूशालम्पुरवासिनो यावन्तो लोका मुक्तिमपेक्ष्य स्थितास्तान् यीशोर्वृत्तान्तं ज्ञापयामास।
39 And when they finished all things, according to the Law of the Lord, they turned back to Galilee, to their city Nazareth;
इत्थं परमेश्वरस्य व्यवस्थानुसारेण सर्व्वेषु कर्म्मसु कृतेषु तौ पुनश्च गालीलो नासरत्नामकं निजनगरं प्रतस्थाते।
40 and the child grew and was strengthened in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
तत्पश्चाद् बालकः शरीरेण वृद्धिमेत्य ज्ञानेन परिपूर्ण आत्मना शक्तिमांश्च भवितुमारेभे तथा तस्मिन् ईश्वरानुग्रहो बभूव।
41 And his parents were going yearly to Jerusalem, at the feast of the passover,
तस्य पिता माता च प्रतिवर्षं निस्तारोत्सवसमये यिरूशालमम् अगच्छताम्।
42 and when he became twelve years old, they having gone up to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast,
अपरञ्च यीशौ द्वादशवर्षवयस्के सति तौ पर्व्वसमयस्य रीत्यनुसारेण यिरूशालमं गत्वा
43 and having finished the days, in their returning the child Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and Joseph and his mother did not know,
पार्व्वणं सम्पाद्य पुनरपि व्याघुय्य यातः किन्तु यीशुर्बालको यिरूशालमि तिष्ठति। यूषफ् तन्माता च तद् अविदित्वा
44 and, having supposed him to be in the company, they went a day's journey, and were seeking him among the kindred and among the acquaintances,
स सङ्गिभिः सह विद्यत एतच्च बुद्व्वा दिनैकगम्यमार्गं जग्मतुः। किन्तु शेषे ज्ञातिबन्धूनां समीपे मृगयित्वा तदुद्देेशमप्राप्य
45 and not having found him, they turned back to Jerusalem seeking him.
तौ पुनरपि यिरूशालमम् परावृत्यागत्य तं मृगयाञ्चक्रतुः।
46 And it came to pass, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them and questioning them,
अथ दिनत्रयात् परं पण्डितानां मध्ये तेषां कथाः शृण्वन् तत्त्वं पृच्छंश्च मन्दिरे समुपविष्टः स ताभ्यां दृष्टः।
47 and all those hearing him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
तदा तस्य बुद्ध्या प्रत्युत्तरैश्च सर्व्वे श्रोतारो विस्मयमापद्यन्ते।
48 And, having seen him, they were amazed, and his mother said unto him, 'Child, why didst thou thus to us? lo, thy father and I, sorrowing, were seeking thee.'
तादृशं दृष्ट्वा तस्य जनको जननी च चमच्चक्रतुः किञ्च तस्य माता तमवदत्, हे पुत्र, कथमावां प्रतीत्थं समाचरस्त्वम्? पश्य तव पिताहञ्च शोकाकुलौ सन्तौ त्वामन्विच्छावः स्म।
49 And he said unto them, 'Why [is it] that ye were seeking me? did ye not know that in the things of my Father it behoveth me to be?'
ततः सोवदत् कुतो माम् अन्वैच्छतं? पितुर्गृहे मया स्थातव्यम् एतत् किं युवाभ्यां न ज्ञायते?
50 and they did not understand the saying that he spake to them,
किन्तु तौ तस्यैतद्वाक्यस्य तात्पर्य्यं बोद्धुं नाशक्नुतां।
51 and he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and he was subject to them, and his mother was keeping all these sayings in her heart,
ततः परं स ताभ्यां सह नासरतं गत्वा तयोर्वशीभूतस्तस्थौ किन्तु सर्व्वा एताः कथास्तस्य माता मनसि स्थापयामास।
52 and Jesus was advancing in wisdom, and in stature, and in favour with God and men.
अथ यीशो र्बुद्धिः शरीरञ्च तथा तस्मिन् ईश्वरस्य मानवानाञ्चानुग्रहो वर्द्धितुम् आरेभे।
