1 हे जनाब थियुफिलुस, घणखरयां माणसां नै म्हारै बिचाळै घटी बात्तां का ब्यौरा लिखण की कोशिश करी सै।
Seeing that many have taken it in hand to draw up an account of those matters which have been fully established among us,
2 शरुआत तै ए जो यीशु मसीह की सेवकाई म्ह साथ थे अर वे बाद म्ह वचन के सेवक बणगे, उननै ए आँखां देक्खी बात म्हारे ताहीं बताई।
just as they reported them to us, who were from beginning eye- witnesses and ministers of the word,
3 इस करकै हे जनाब थियुफिलुस, मन्नै भी यो ठीक लाग्या के उन सारी बात्तां का सारा हाल शरु तै आच्छी दाहूं परख कै, उननै तेरे खात्तर क्रमानुसार लिखूँ
it seemed good to me also accurately, from the very beginning, to write them to you in order, most excellent Theophilus,
4 के तू या जाण ले के वो बात जिनकी तन्नै शिक्षा पाई सै, वो सच्ची सै।
so that you may know the certainty of the story which you have been taught by the word of mouth.
5 यहूदिया परदेस कै राजा हेरोदेस कै बखत म्ह अबिय्याह कै टोळ म्ह जकरयाह नाम का एक याजक था, अर उसकी घरआळी का नाम एलीशिबा था, अर दोन्नु हारुन की पीढ़ी के थे।
In the reign of Herod, King of Judea, there was a certain priest, named Zachariah, belonging to the class of Abijah. He had a wife named Elizabeth,
6 वे दोन्नु परमेसवर कै स्याम्ही धर्मी थे, अर प्रभु कै सारे हुकम अर नियमां पै बेखोट चालण आळे थे।
who was a descendant of Aaron. They were both righteous in the sight of the Lord, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the law, blameless.
7 पर उनकै कोए भी ऊलाद कोनी थी, क्यूँके एलीशिबा बाँझ थी, अर वे दोन्नु ए बूढ़े थे।
Now they had no child, for Elizabeth was barren, and both were far advanced in years.
8 एक दिन मन्दर म्ह जिब याजक के काम की बारी जकरयाह के टोळ की आई, तो वो परमेसवर कै स्याम्ही पूजा करण खात्तर ओड़ै मौजूद था,
Now while Zachariah was acting as priest before God in the due course of his class, it fell to his lot, according to the custom of priesthood,
9 तो याजकां की रीत कै मुताबिक उसकै नाम की चिट्ठी लिकड़ी के प्रभु कै मन्दर म्ह जाकै धूप जळावै।
to enter into the sanctuary of the Lord and to burn incense.
10 धूप जळाण कै बखत माणसां की भीड़ बाहरणै आँगण म्ह प्रार्थना करै थी।
And the whole multitude of the people were without, praying at the hour of incense.
11 उस बखत प्रभु का एक सुर्गदूत धूप की वेदी कै सोळी ओड़ खड्या दिख्या।
Then there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 जकरयाह देखकै घबराग्या अर घणा डरग्या।
And as he saw him Zachariah was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
13 पर सुर्गदूत उसतै बोल्या, “हे जकरयाह, डरै ना, क्यूँके परमेसवर नै तेरी प्रार्थना सुणली सै, अर तेरी घरआळी एलीशिबा तेरे खात्तर एक बेट्टा जाम्मैगी, अर तू उसका नाम यूहन्ना धरिये।
But the Angel said to him. "Do not be afraid, Zachariah, because your petition has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.
14 वो तेरे ताहीं तो आनन्द अर खुशी देवैएगा, साथ म्ह भोत-से माणस भी उसकै जन्म तै राज्जी होवैगें।
"And he shall be to you a joy and an exultation, and many shall rejoice over his birth.
15 क्यूँके वो प्रभु कै स्याम्ही घणा महान् होगा, अर उस ताहीं कदे भी मदिरा, नशीली चीज न्ही पीणी सै, अर अपणी माँ की कोख तै ए पवित्र आत्मा तै भर ज्यागा।
"For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, "He shall drink neither wine nor strong drink, "He shall be filled with the Holy Spirit from the hour of his birth,
16 अर इस्राएल के भोत-से माणसां के मन प्रभु परमेसवर की ओड़ मोड़ देवैगा।
"And shall win many of the sons of Israel to the Lord, their God.
17 यूहन्ना एलिय्याह नबी की आत्मा अर सामर्थ म्ह भरा होगा, अर वो परमेसवर के राह नै तैयार करैगा, वो माँ-बाप का मन बाळकां की ओड़ मोड़ देवैगा। हुकम ना मानण आळे अधर्मियाँ की सोच नै धर्मियाँ की सोच म्ह बदल देवैगा।”
"He shall go before Him in the wisdom and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, and so to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him."
18 जकरयाह नै सुर्गदूत तै बुझया, “इस बात का मै किस तरियां बिश्वास करुँ? के यो म्हारे गैल होवैगा, क्यूँके मै तो बूढ़ा सूं, अर मेरी घरआळी भी बूढ़ी होरी सै।”
"How shall I be sure of this?" said Zachariah to the Angel. "For I am an old man and my wife is advanced in years."
19 सुर्गदूत नै उसतै जवाब दिया, “मै जिब्राईल सूं, जो परमेसवर कै आग्गै खड्या रहूँ सूं, अर मै तेरे तै बात करण अर सुसमाचार देण खात्तर भेज्या सूं।
"I am Gabriel," answered the angel, "who stand in the presence of God; and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring and to bring you this good news.
20 अर देख जिब ताहीं ये बात पूरी ना हो लेंगी, तू गूँगा रहवैगा अर बोल न्ही पावैगा क्यूँके तन्नै मेरी बात्तां का बिश्वास न्ही करया, जो अपणे बखत पै पूरी होंगी।”
"And now you shall be silent and unable to speak until the day the day when this has taken place; because you did not believe my words - Words which will be fulfilled at their appointed time."
21 बाहर जकरयाह की बाट देक्खण आळे माणस अचम्भे म्ह पड़गे, कै उसनै मन्दर म्ह इतनी वार क्यूँ लाग्गी।
Meanwhile the people were waiting for Zachariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the sanctuary.
22 जिब वो बाहर आया, तो उन ताहीं बोल न्ही पाया आखर वो जाणगे कै उसनै मन्दर म्ह कोए दर्शन पाया सै, अर वो उन ताहीं इशारे करदा रह्या, अर गूँगा होग्या।
And when he came out he could not speak to them, and then they knew that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them and remained dumb.
23 जिब उसकी याजकीय सेवा कै दिन पूरे होए, तो वो यरुशलेम नगर नै छोड़ अपणे घरां चल्या गया।
As soon as his term of priestly service was ended he went home;
24 कई दिनां पाच्छै उसकी घरआळी एलीशिबा गर्भवती होग्यी, अर पाँच महिन्ने तैई अपणे-आप ताहीं ल्हकोए राख्या,
and after those days Elizabeth, his wife, Conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying.
25 उसनै अपणे-आप तै कह्या, प्रभु नै इन दिनां म्ह दया की मेहर करकै मेरै खात्तर इसा करया सै, “के माणसां के बीच म्ह मेरा अपमान दूर हो।”
"This has the Lord done for me. He has now deigned to take the away my reproach among men."
26 एलीशिबा कै छठा महिन्ना चढ़ रह्या था, परमेसवर की ओड़ तै जिब्राईल सुर्गदूत, गलील परदेस कै नासरत नगर म्ह,
Six months later the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee, called Nazareth,
27 एक कुँवारी कै धोरै भेज्या जिसकी सगाई यूसुफ नाम कै दाऊद कै घराने कै एक माणस तै होई थी, उस कुँवारी का नाम मरियम था।
to a maiden betrothed to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. Her name was Mary.
28 जिब्राईल सुर्गदूत नै उसके धोरै आकै कह्या, “आनन्द अर जयजयकार तेरी हो तेरे पै ईश्‍वर का अनुग्रह होया सै! प्रभु तेरे गेल्या सै!”
The angel went in and said to her. "Joy to you, highly favored one! "The Lord is with you."
29 मरियम या बात सुणकै भोत घबरा ग्यी, अर सोच म्ह पड़गी कै इन बात्तां का के मतलब हो सकै सै?
Mary was greatly agitated at his word, and was revolving in her mind what this salutation could mean.
30 सुर्गदूत नै उसतै कह्या, “हे मरियम, डरै ना, क्यूँके परमेसवर का अनुग्रह तेरे पै होया सै।
when the angel said to her. "Fear not Mary, for you have found grace with God.
31 अर देख, तू गर्भवती होगी, अर तेरे एक छोरा पैदा होगा, तू उसका नाम यीशु धरिये।
"And behold, you shall conceive in your womb and bear a son; and you shall call his name Jesus.
32 वो महान् होगा अर परमप्रधान का बेट्टा कुह्वावैगा, अर प्रभु परमेसवर उसकै पूर्वज दाऊद का सिंहासन उसनै देवैगा,
"He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High. "And the Lord God will give him the throne of his forefather David,
33 अर वो इस्राएल कै घराने पै सदा राज करैगा, अर उसकै राज्य का अंत न्ही होगा।” (aiōn g165)
"and he shall reign over the House of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end." (aiōn g165)
34 मरियम नै सुर्गदूत तै कह्या, “यो किस तरियां होगा। मै तो कुँवारी सूं।”
And Mary said to the angel. "How can this be? For I have no husband?"
35 सुर्गदूत नै उस ताहीं जवाब दिया, “पवित्र आत्मा तेरे पै आवैगा अर परमप्रधान की सामर्थ तेरे पै छाया करैगी, इस खात्तर वो जो बाळक पैदा होण आळा सै, पवित्र अर परमेसवर का बेट्टा कुह्वावैगा।
"The Holy Spirit shall come upon you," said the angel, "and the power of the most High shall overshadow you, and therefore the holy offspring which is born, shall be called the son of God.
36 अर सुण, तेरी रिस्तेदार जो एलीशिबा सै उसकै भी बुढ़ापे म्ह बेट्टा होण आळा सै, जो बाँझ कुह्वावै थी यो उसका, छठा महिन्ना सै।
"And behold your kinswoman, Elizabeth, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this was the sixth month with her that was called barren.
37 क्यूँके परमेसवर खात्तर कुछ भी मुश्किल कोनी सै।”
"For no word of God shall be void of power."
38 मरियम नै कह्या, “देख, मै प्रभु की दास्सी सूं, मेरै तै तेरे कहैए वचन कै मुताबिक हो।” फेर सुर्गदूत उसके धोरै तै चल्या ग्या।
Then Mary said. "Behold I am Lord’s slave. Let it be to me as you have said." Then the angel departed from her.
39 कई दिनां बाद मरियम ताव्ली तैयार होकै पहाड़ी परदेस के यहूदा नगर म्ह ग्यी,
Soon after this Mary set out and hastened unto the hill-country to a town in Judah;
40 अर जकरयाह कै घर म्ह जाकै एलीशिबा ताहीं नमस्कार करया।
and there she came into the house of Zachariah, and greeted Elizabeth.
41 ज्योए एलीशिबा नै मरियम का नमस्कार सुण्या, त्योंए बाळक उसके पेट म्ह उछळ्या, अर एलीशिबा पवित्र आत्मा तै भरगी।
And when Elizabeth heard her salutation, the babe leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth herself was filled with the Holy Spirit,
42 अर उसनै ऊँच्ची आवाज म्ह बोलकै कह्या, “तू बिरबानियाँ म्ह धन्य सै, अर तेरी कोख का फळ धन्य सै!
and called out with a loud cry. "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is your unborn child!
43 मै खुशनसीब सूं जो प्रभु की माँ मेरै धोरै मिलण खात्तर आई?
"But why is this honor done me, that the mother of my Lord should come me?
44 देख, ज्योए तेरे नमस्कार का बोल मेरै कान्ना म्ह पड्या, त्योंए बाळक मेरै पेट म्ह खुशी तै उछळ पड्या।
"For behold when the sound of your salutation reached my ears, the babe leaped with joy within my womb.
45 धन्य सै तू क्यूँके तन्नै बिश्वास करया कै जो बात प्रभु नै तेरे ताहीं कही, वे पूरी होई!”
"And blessed is she who believed that the Lord’s words spoken to her would be fulfilled."
46 फेर मरियम नै कह्या, “मेरा जी प्रभु की बड़ाई करै सै
And Mary said. "My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 अर मेरी आत्मा मेरै उद्धार करण आळे परमेसवर तै खुश होई,”
"My spirit exults in the God, who is my Saviour,
48 “क्यूँके उसनै अपणी दास्सी की लाचारी पै निगांह करी सै, इस खात्तर देक्खो, इब तै सारे युग-युग कै माणस मन्नै धन्य कहवैगें,”
"For he has regarded the humiliation of his slave, And from this hour all ages will count me blessed.
49 “क्यूँके उस शक्तिशाली नै मेरै खात्तर बड़े-बड़े काम करै सै। उसका नाम पवित्र सै,”
"For he who is mighty has done great things for me; And holy is his name.
50 “अर उसकी दया उनपै, जो उसतै डरै सै, पीढ़ी तै पीढ़ी बणी रहवैं सै।”
"His mercy is unto generations and generations on those who reverence him.
51 “उसनै अपणी शक्ति तै बड़े-बड़े काम करै सै, अर जो अपणे-आप म्ह घमण्ड करै थे, उन ताहीं तित्तर-बितर कर दिया।”
"He has showed strength with his arm. "He has scattered proud in the imagination of their hearts;
52 “उसनै शासकां ताहीं उनकै सिंहासनां पै तै गिरा दिया, अर नम्र लोग्गां ताहीं ऊँच्चा उठा दिया।”
"he has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted those of low degree.
53 “उसनै भूख्या ताहीं बढ़िया चिज्जां तै छिकाया सै, अर साहूकारां ताहीं खाल्ली हाथ भेज दिया।”
"The hungry he has filled with good things, But the rich he has sent empty away.
54 “उसनै अपणे सेवक इस्राएल ताहीं सम्भाल लिया, ताके अपणी उस दया नै याद करै,”
"He has helped Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
55 “जो उसनै अब्राहम अर उसकी पीढ़ी पै सदा खात्तर दया करण का वादा करया सै।” (aiōn g165)
"As he spoke to our forefathers, to Abraham and his offspring forever." (aiōn g165)
56 मरियम करीब तीन महिन्ने उसकै गेल्या रहकै उल्टी अपणे घरां चली ग्यी।
So Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and returned home.
57 फेर एलीशिबा कै दिन पूरे होए अर उसनै बेट्टा जाम्या।
Now when the time of Elizabeth’s delivery was come, she gave birth to a son;
58 उसके पड़ोसी अर रिश्तेदारां नै या सुणकै के प्रभु नै उसपै बड़ी दया करी सै, उसकै गेल्या खुशी मनाई,
and her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her,
59 आठवे दिन वे बाळक का खतना करण ताहीं आये, अर उसका नाम उसकै पिता के नाम पै जकरयाह धरणा चाहवै थे।
and came on the eighth day to circumcise the child. They were about to call him "Zachariah," after his father,
60 इस पर उसकी माँ एलीशिबा नै जवाब दिया, “ना, इसका नाम यूहन्ना धरो।”
when his mother said, "No, he is to be called John."
61 उननै उस ताहीं कह्या, “तेरे रिश्तेदारा म्ह किसे का यो नाम न्ही सै!”
Said they, "You have no relatives of that name!"
62 फेर उसकै पिता तै इशारा करकै पूच्छया कै तू उसका नाम कै धरणा चाहवै सै?
Then they asked his father by signs what he wished to call the child.
63 उसनै लिखण की पट्टी पै लिख दिया, “उसका नाम यूहन्ना सै,” अर सारा नै अचम्भा होया।
So he asked for a writing tablet and wrote down, "His name is John."
64 फेर उसकी आवाज बोहड़ आई, अर वो बोल्लण अर परमेसवर का धन्यवाद करण लाग्या।
Every one was surprised, and at once his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.
65 उसके लोवै-धोरै कै सब रहण आळे डरगे, अर उन सारी बात्तां की चर्चा यहूदिया परदेस कै सारे पहाड़ी देश म्ह फैलगी,
And there came a great fear upon all in the neighborhood; and throughout the hill country of Judea all these sayings were much talked about.
66 अर सब सुणण आळा नै अपणे-अपणे मन म्ह विचार करकै कह्या, “यो बाळक किसा होगा?” क्यूँके प्रभु की शक्ति उसकै साथ सै।
All the story laid it up in their hearts, saying "What, then, will this child be?" For the Lord’s hands was with him.
67 उसका पिता जकरयाह पवित्र आत्मा तै भरग्या, अर भविष्यवाणी करण लाग्या:
And his father, Zachariah, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying.
68 “प्रभु इस्राएल का परमेसवर धन्य सै, क्यूँके उसनै अपणे माणसां पै निगांह करी अर उनका उद्धार करया सै,
"Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, For he has visited and redeemed his people,
69 अर अपणे दास दाऊद कै घराने म्ह म्हारै खात्तर एक शक्तिशाली उद्धारकर्ता ताहीं भेज्या सै,
"And has raised up a mighty Deliverer for us In the house of his servant David,
70 (भोत पैहले प्रभु नै अपणे पवित्र नबियाँ कै जरिये यो कह्या था) (aiōn g165)
"As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets Which have been since the world began (aiōn g165)
71 के वो हमनै दुश्मनां तै बचावैगा अर मेरे तै नफरत करण आळे की ताकत तै भी हमनै बचावैगा।
To deliver us from our enemies, and from the power Of all who hate us.
72 उसनै कह्या, के वो म्हारै पूर्वजां पै दया करैगा अर अपणे पवित्र करार नै याद राक्खैगा,
"He showed mercy to our forefathers, He remembered his holy covenant,
73 अर वो करार जो उसनै म्हारै पूर्वज अब्राहम तै करया था,
"The oath which he swore to Abraham, our forefather,
74 उसनै वादा करया सै, के वो म्हारे दुश्मनां कै हाथ तै हमनै छुड़ावैगा,
"That he we should be delivered out of the Hand of our enemies, And should serve him without fear,
75 ताके जिन्दगी भर उसकै आग्गै पवित्रता अर धार्मिकता तै बिना डरें उसकी सेवा कर सकां।
"In holiness and righteousness before him All our days.
76 हे मेरे बेट्टे, तू परमप्रधान का नबी कुह्वावैगा, क्यूँके तू प्रभु का रास्ता त्यार करण कै खात्तर आग्गै-आग्गै चाल्लैगा,
"And thou, child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Most High, For thou shalt go before the Lord to prepare the way
77 तू उसकै माणसां नै उद्धार का ज्ञान देगा, जो पापां की माफी तै मिलै सै।
"To give to his people a knowledge of salvation Through the remission of their sins,
78 यो म्हारे परमेसवर की उस बड़ी दया तै होगा। जिस तरियां सूरज चमकै सै, उसी तरियां मसीहा भी सुर्ग तै म्हारे धोरै आवैगा
"Through the heart of mercy of our God, Whereby the Dayspring from on high shall visit us,
79 ताके अन्धेरे अर मौत की छाया म्ह बैठण आळा नै रोशनी दे, वा रोशनी सही राह पै चाल्लण म्ह म्हारी मदद करैगी।”
"To give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, And to guide our feet into the paths of peace."
80 अर बाळक यूहन्ना देह अर आत्मा म्ह मजबूत होन्दा गया, अर इस्राएल के माणसां पै जाहिर होण तै पैहले वो जंगल-बियाबान म्ह रह्या।
And the child grew, and became strong in the Spirit, and remained in the desert till the day of his showing to Israel.
