< 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 —
اَپَرَنْچَ تَسْمِنْ کالے راجْیَسْیَ سَرْوّیشاں لوکاناں نامانِ لیکھَیِتُمْ اَگَسْتَکَیسَرَ آجْناپَیاماسَ۔
2 this enrolment first came to pass when Cyrenius was governor of Syria —
تَدَنُسارینَ کُرِینِیَنامَنِ سُرِیادیشَسْیَ شاسَکے سَتِ نامَلیکھَنَں پْراریبھے۔
3 and all were going to be enrolled, each to his proper city,
اَتو ہیتو رْنامَ لیکھِتُں سَرْوّے جَناح سْوِییَں سْوِییَں نَگَرَں جَگْمُح۔
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,
تَدانِیں یُوشَپھْ نامَ لیکھِتُں واگْدَتَّیا سْوَبھارْیَّیا گَرْبّھَوَتْیا مَرِیَما سَہَ سْوَیَں دایُودَح سَجاتِوَںشَ اِتِ کارَنادْ گالِیلْپْرَدیشَسْیَ ناسَرَتْنَگَرادْ
5 to enrol himself with Mary his betrothed wife, being with child.
یِہُوداپْرَدیشَسْیَ بَیتْلیہَماکھْیَں دایُودْنَگَرَں جَگامَ۔
6 And it came to pass, in their being there, the days were fulfilled for her bringing forth,
اَنْیَچَّ تَتْرَ سْتھانے تَیوسْتِشْٹھَتوح سَتو رْمَرِیَمَح پْرَسُوتِکالَ اُپَسْتھِتی
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.
سا تَں پْرَتھَمَسُتَں پْراسوشْٹَ کِنْتُ تَسْمِنْ واسَگرِہے سْتھانابھاوادْ بالَکَں وَسْتْرینَ ویشْٹَیِتْوا گوشالایاں سْتھاپَیاماسَ۔
8 And there were shepherds in the same region, lodging in the field, and keeping the night-watches over their flock,
اَنَنْتَرَں یے کِیَنْتو میشَپالَکاح سْوَمیشَوْرَجَرَکْشایَے تَتْپْرَدیشے سْتھِتْوا رَجَنْیاں پْرانْتَرے پْرَہَرِنَح کَرْمَّ کُرْوَّنْتِ،
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.
تیشاں سَمِیپَں پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ دُوتَ آگَتْیوپَتَسْتھَو؛ تَدا چَتُشْپارْشْوے پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ تیجَسَح پْرَکاشِتَتْواتْ تےتِشَشَنْکِرے۔
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 —
تَدا سَ دُوتَ اُواچَ ما بھَیشْٹَ پَشْیَتادْیَ دایُودَح پُرے یُشْمَنِّمِتَّں تْراتا پْرَبھُح کھْرِیشْٹوجَنِشْٹَ،
11 because there was born to you to-day a Saviour — who is Christ the Lord — in the city of David,
سَرْوّیشاں لوکاناں مَہانَنْدَجَنَکَمْ اِمَں مَنْگَلَورِتّانْتَں یُشْمانْ جْناپَیامِ۔
12 and this [is] to you the sign: Ye shall find a babe wrapped up, lying in the manger.'
یُویَں (تَتْسْتھانَں گَتْوا) وَسْتْرَویشْٹِتَں تَں بالَکَں گوشالایاں شَیَنَں دْرَکْشْیَتھَ یُشْمانْ پْرَتِیدَں چِہْنَں بھَوِشْیَتِ۔
13 And suddenly there came with the messenger a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying,
دُوتَ اِماں کَتھاں کَتھِتَوَتِ تَتْراکَسْماتْ سْوَرْگِییاح پرِتَنا آگَتْیَ کَتھامْ اِماں کَتھَیِتْویشْوَرَسْیَ گُنانَنْوَوادِشُح، یَتھا،
14 'Glory in the highest to God, and upon earth peace, among men — good will.'
سَرْوّورْدْوَّسْتھَیرِیشْوَرَسْیَ مَہِما سَمْپْرَکاشْیَتاں۔ شانْتِرْبھُویاتْ پرِتھِوْیاسْتُ سَنْتوشَشْچَ نَرانْ پْرَتِ۔۔
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.'
تَتَح پَرَں تیشاں سَنِّدھے رْدُوتَگَنے سْوَرْگَں گَتے میشَپالَکاح پَرَسْپَرَمْ اَویچَنْ آگَچّھَتَ پْرَبھُح پَرَمیشْوَرو یاں گھَٹَناں جْناپِتَوانْ تَسْیا یاتھَرْیَں جْناتُں وَیَمَدھُنا بَیتْلیہَمْپُرَں یامَح۔
16 And they came, having hasted, and found both Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger,
پَشْچاتْ تے تُورْنَں وْرَجِتْوا مَرِیَمَں یُوشَپھَں گوشالایاں شَیَنَں بالَکَنْچَ دَدرِشُح۔
17 and having seen, they made known abroad concerning the saying spoken to them concerning the child.
اِتّھَں درِشْٹْوا بالَکَسْیارْتھے پْروکْتاں سَرْوَّکَتھاں تے پْراچارَیانْچَکْرُح۔
18 And all who heard, did wonder concerning the things spoken by the shepherds unto them;
تَتو یے لوکا میشَرَکْشَکاناں وَدَنیبھْیَسْتاں وارْتّاں شُشْرُوُسْتے مَہاشْچَرْیَّں مینِرے۔
19 and Mary was preserving all these things, pondering in her heart;
کِنْتُ مَرِیَمْ ایتَتْسَرْوَّگھَٹَناناں تاتْپَرْیَّں وِوِچْیَ مَنَسِ سْتھاپَیاماسَ۔
20 and the shepherds turned back, glorifying and praising God, for all those things they heard and saw, as it was spoken unto them.
تَتْپَشْچادْ دُوتَوِجْنَپْتانُرُوپَں شْرُتْوا درِشْٹْوا چَ میشَپالَکا اِیشْوَرَسْیَ گُنانُوادَں دھَنْیَوادَنْچَ کُرْوّاناح پَراورِتْیَ یَیُح۔
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.
اَتھَ بالَکَسْیَ تْوَکْچھیدَنَکالےشْٹَمَدِوَسے سَمُپَسْتھِتے تَسْیَ گَرْبّھَسْتھِتیح پُرْوَّں سْوَرْگِییَدُوتو یَتھاجْناپَیَتْ تَدَنُرُوپَں تے تَنّامَدھییَں یِیشُرِتِ چَکْرِرے۔
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,
تَتَح پَرَں مُوسالِکھِتَوْیَوَسْتھایا اَنُسارینَ مَرِیَمَح شُچِتْوَکالَ اُپَسْتھِتے،
23 as it hath been written in the Law of the Lord, — 'Every male opening a womb shall be called holy to the Lord,'
"پْرَتھَمَجَح سَرْوَّح پُرُشَسَنْتانَح پَرَمیشْوَرے سَمَرْپْیَتاں،" اِتِ پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ وْیَوَسْتھَیا
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.'
یِیشُں پَرَمیشْوَرے سَمَرْپَیِتُمْ شاسْتْرِییَوِدھْیُکْتَں کَپوتَدْوَیَں پاراوَتَشاوَکَدْوَیَں وا بَلِں داتُں تے تَں گرِہِیتْوا یِرُوشالَمَمْ آیَیُح۔
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,
یِرُوشالَمْپُرَنِواسِی شِمِیونّاما دھارْمِّکَ ایکَ آسِیتْ سَ اِسْراییلَح سانْتْوَنامَپیکْشْیَ تَسْتھَو کِنْچَ پَوِتْرَ آتْما تَسْمِنّاوِرْبھُوتَح۔
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.
اَپَرَں پْرَبھُنا پَرَمیشْوَرینابھِشِکْتے تْراتَرِ تْوَیا نَ درِشْٹے تْوَں نَ مَرِشْیَسِیتِ واکْیَں پَوِتْرینَ آتْمَنا تَسْمَ پْراکَتھْیَتَ۔
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,
اَپَرَنْچَ یَدا یِیشوح پِتا ماتا چَ تَدَرْتھَں وْیَوَسْتھانُرُوپَں کَرْمَّ کَرْتُّں تَں مَنْدِرَمْ آنِنْیَتُسْتَدا
28 then he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and he said,
شِمِیونْ آتْمَنَ آکَرْشَنینَ مَنْدِرَماگَتْیَ تَں کْروڈے نِدھایَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ دھَنْیَوادَں کرِتْوا کَتھَیاماسَ، یَتھا،
29 'Now Thou dost send away Thy servant, Lord, according to Thy word, in peace,
ہے پْرَبھو تَوَ داسویَں نِجَواکْیانُسارَتَح۔ اِدانِینْتُ سَکَلْیانو بھَوَتا سَںوِسرِجْیَتامْ۔
30 because mine eyes did see Thy salvation,
یَتَح سَکَلَدیشَسْیَ دِیپْتَیے دِیپْتِرُوپَکَں۔
31 which Thou didst prepare before the face of all the peoples,
اِسْراییلِییَلوکَسْیَ مَہاگَورَوَرُوپَکَں۔
32 a light to the uncovering of nations, and the glory of Thy people Israel.'
یَں تْرایَکَں جَنانانْتُ سَمُّکھے تْوَمَجِیجَنَح۔ سَایوَ وِدْیَتےسْماکَں دھْرَوَں نَیَنَنَگوچَرے۔۔
33 And Joseph and his mother were wondering at the things spoken concerning him,
تَدانِیں تینوکْتا ایتاح سَکَلاح کَتھاح شْرُتْوا تَسْیَ ماتا یُوشَپھْ چَ وِسْمَیَں میناتے۔
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 —
تَتَح پَرَں شِمِیونْ تیبھْیَ آشِشَں دَتّوا تَنْماتَرَں مَرِیَمَمْ اُواچَ، پَشْیَ اِسْراییلو وَںشَمَدھْیے بَہُوناں پاتَنایوتّھاپَنایَ چَ تَتھا وِرودھَپاتْرَں بھَوِتُں، بَہُوناں گُپْتَمَنوگَتاناں پْرَکَٹِیکَرَنایَ بالَکویَں نِیُکْتوسْتِ۔
35 (and also thine own soul shall a sword pass through) — that the reasonings of many hearts may be revealed.'
تَسْماتْ تَواپِ پْراناح شُولینَ وْیَتْسْیَنْتے۔
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,
اَپَرَنْچَ آشیرَسْیَ وَںشِییَپھِنُوییلو دُہِتا ہَنّاکھْیا اَتِجَرَتِی بھَوِشْیَدْوادِنْییکا یا وِواہاتْ پَرَں سَپْتَ وَتْسَرانْ پَتْیا سَہَ نْیَوَسَتْ تَتو وِدھَوا بھُوتْوا چَتُرَشِیتِوَرْشَوَیَحپَرْیَّنَتَں
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,
مَنْدِرے سْتھِتْوا پْرارْتھَنوپَواسَیرْدِوانِشَمْ اِیشْوَرَمْ اَسیوَتَ ساپِ سْتْرِی تَسْمِنْ سَمَیے مَنْدِرَماگَتْیَ
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.
پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ دھَنْیَوادَں چَکارَ، یِرُوشالَمْپُرَواسِنو یاوَنْتو لوکا مُکْتِمَپیکْشْیَ سْتھِتاسْتانْ یِیشورْورِتّانْتَں جْناپَیاماسَ۔
39 And when they finished all things, according to the Law of the Lord, they turned back to Galilee, to their city Nazareth;
اِتّھَں پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ وْیَوَسْتھانُسارینَ سَرْوّیشُ کَرْمَّسُ کرِتیشُ تَو پُنَشْچَ گالِیلو ناسَرَتْنامَکَں نِجَنَگَرَں پْرَتَسْتھاتے۔
40 and the child grew and was strengthened in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
تَتْپَشْچادْ بالَکَح شَرِیرینَ ورِدّھِمیتْیَ جْنانینَ پَرِپُورْنَ آتْمَنا شَکْتِماںشْچَ بھَوِتُماریبھے تَتھا تَسْمِنْ اِیشْوَرانُگْرَہو بَبھُووَ۔
41 And his parents were going yearly to Jerusalem, at the feast of the passover,
تَسْیَ پِتا ماتا چَ پْرَتِوَرْشَں نِسْتاروتْسَوَسَمَیے یِرُوشالَمَمْ اَگَچّھَتامْ۔
42 and when he became twelve years old, they having gone up to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast,
اَپَرَنْچَ یِیشَو دْوادَشَوَرْشَوَیَسْکے سَتِ تَو پَرْوَّسَمَیَسْیَ رِیتْیَنُسارینَ یِرُوشالَمَں گَتْوا
43 and having finished the days, in their returning the child Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and Joseph and his mother did not know,
پارْوَّنَں سَمْپادْیَ پُنَرَپِ وْیاگھُیَّ یاتَح کِنْتُ یِیشُرْبالَکو یِرُوشالَمِ تِشْٹھَتِ۔ یُوشَپھْ تَنْماتا چَ تَدْ اَوِدِتْوا
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,
سَ سَنْگِبھِح سَہَ وِدْیَتَ ایتَچَّ بُدْوّا دِنَیکَگَمْیَمارْگَں جَگْمَتُح۔ کِنْتُ شیشے جْناتِبَنْدھُوناں سَمِیپے مرِگَیِتْوا تَدُدّےشَمَپْراپْیَ
45 and not having found him, they turned back to Jerusalem seeking him.
تَو پُنَرَپِ یِرُوشالَمَمْ پَراورِتْیاگَتْیَ تَں مرِگَیانْچَکْرَتُح۔
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,
اَتھَ دِنَتْرَیاتْ پَرَں پَنْڈِتاناں مَدھْیے تیشاں کَتھاح شرِنْوَنْ تَتّوَں پرِچّھَںشْچَ مَنْدِرے سَمُپَوِشْٹَح سَ تابھْیاں درِشْٹَح۔
47 and all those hearing him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
تَدا تَسْیَ بُدّھیا پْرَتْیُتَّرَیشْچَ سَرْوّے شْروتارو وِسْمَیَماپَدْیَنْتے۔
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.'
تادرِشَں درِشْٹْوا تَسْیَ جَنَکو جَنَنِی چَ چَمَچَّکْرَتُح کِنْچَ تَسْیَ ماتا تَمَوَدَتْ، ہے پُتْرَ، کَتھَماواں پْرَتِیتّھَں سَماچَرَسْتْوَمْ؟ پَشْیَ تَوَ پِتاہَنْچَ شوکاکُلَو سَنْتَو تْوامَنْوِچّھاوَح سْمَ۔
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?'
تَتَح سووَدَتْ کُتو مامْ اَنْوَیچّھَتَں؟ پِتُرْگرِہے مَیا سْتھاتَوْیَمْ ایتَتْ کِں یُوابھْیاں نَ جْنایَتے؟
50 and they did not understand the saying that he spake to them,
کِنْتُ تَو تَسْیَیتَدْواکْیَسْیَ تاتْپَرْیَّں بودّھُں ناشَکْنُتاں۔
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,
تَتَح پَرَں سَ تابھْیاں سَہَ ناسَرَتَں گَتْوا تَیورْوَشِیبھُوتَسْتَسْتھَو کِنْتُ سَرْوّا ایتاح کَتھاسْتَسْیَ ماتا مَنَسِ سْتھاپَیاماسَ۔
52 and Jesus was advancing in wisdom, and in stature, and in favour with God and men.
اَتھَ یِیشو رْبُدّھِح شَرِیرَنْچَ تَتھا تَسْمِنْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ مانَوانانْچانُگْرَہو وَرْدّھِتُمْ آریبھے۔
