लूका 2
1 उन दिनां म्ह औगुस्तुस कैसर की कान्ही तै हुकम लिकड़या के, सारे रोमी साम्राज्य कै माणसां की जनगणना करकै उनके नाम लिक्खे जावै।
About that time an edict was issued by the Emperor Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole Empire.
2 (या पैहली नाम लिखाई उस बखत होई, जिब क्विरिनियुस सीरिया परदेस कै इलाके का राज्यपाल था)।
(This was the first census taken while Quirinius was Governor of Syria).
3 सारे माणस नाम लिखाण कै खात्तर अपणे-अपणे पुश्तैनी नगर म्ह गए।
And everyone went to his own town to be registered.
4 आखर यूसुफ भी इस करकै के वो भी दाऊद कै कुण्बे अर पीढ़ी का था, गलील परदेस कै नासरत नगर तै गया, यहूदिया परदेस म्ह दाऊद कै बैतलहम नगर म्ह आया,
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 अपणी मंगेतर मरियम कै गेल्या जो गर्भवती थी, उस जनगणना म्ह नाम लिखवावै।
to be registered with Mary, his engaged wife, who was about to become a mother.
6 उनकै बैतलहम नगर रहन्दे होए उसके जाम्मण के दिन पूरे होए,
While they were there her time came,
7 अर मरियम नै अपणा जेट्ठा छोरा जाम्या अर उस ताहीं लत्ते म्ह लपेटकै खोर म्ह धरया, क्यूँके उनकै खात्तर सराये म्ह जगहां कोनी थी।
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 अर उस देश म्ह कई पाळी थे, जो रात नै मदानां म्ह रहकै अपणी भेड्डां के टोळ की रुखाळ करै थे।
In that same countryside were shepherds out in the open fields, watching their flocks that night,
9 अर उस्से रात नै प्रभु का एक सुर्गदूत उनकै धोरै आण खड्या होया, अर प्रभु का प्रताप उसकै उप्पर चमक्या, अर वे घणे डरगे।
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 सुर्गदूत नै उनतै कह्या, “मतना डरो, क्यूँके देक्खों, मै थमनै घणी खुशी की खबर सुणाऊँ सूं, जो सारे माणसां खात्तर होगी,
“Have no fear,” the angel said. “For I bring you good news of a great joy in store for all the nation.
11 आज दाऊद कै नगर बैतलहम म्ह थारे खात्तर एक उद्धारकर्ता जाम्या सै, अर योए मसीह प्रभु सै।
This day there has been born to you, in the town of David, a Savior, who is Christ and Lord.
12 अर उसकी थारे खात्तर या निशान्नी होगी के थम एक बाळक नै लत्ते म्ह लिपट्या होड़ अर खोर म्ह लेट्या होड़ पाओगे।”
And this will be the sign for you. You will find the infant swathed, and lying in a manger.”
13 फेर चाणचक उस सुर्गदूत गेल्या सुर्गदूत्तां का एक टोळ परमेसवर की भगति करदे होए अर न्यू कहन्दे दिख्या,
Then suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly Host, praising God, and singing –
14 “अकास म्ह परमेसवर की महिमा अर धरती पै उन माणसां म्ह जिनतै वो राज्जी सै, शान्ति हो।”
“glory to God on high, and on earth peace among those in whom he finds pleasure.”
15 जिब सुर्गदूत उसकै धोरै तै सुर्ग म्ह चले गए, तो पाळीयाँ नै आप्पस म्ह कह्या, “आओ, हम बैतलहम नगर जाकै या बात जो होई सै, अर जो प्रभु नै म्हारै ताहीं बताई सै, देक्खां।”
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 अर उननै जिब्बे जाकै मरियम अर यूसुफ ताहीं अर खोर म्ह उस बाळक ताहीं लेट्या देख्या।
So they went quickly, and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in a manger;
17 जिब पाळीयाँ नै बाळक ताहीं देख्या तो उननै वे सारी बात जो सुर्गदूत नै इस बाळक कै बाबत उनतै कही थी, यूसुफ अर मरियम ताहीं बताई।
and, when they saw it, they told of all that had been said to them about this child.
18 अर पाळीयाँ की ये बात सुणकै सारे सुणण आळा नै अचम्भा करया।
All who heard the shepherds were astonished at their story,
19 पर मरियम ये बात अपणे मन म्ह धरकै सोचदी रई।
while Mary treasured in her heart all that they said, and thought about it often.
20 अर जिसा पाळीयाँ ताहीं सुर्गदूत्तां नै कह्या था, सब कुछ उसाए सुणकै अर देखकै, वे परमेसवर की महिमा अर जय-जयकार करदे होए बोहड़गे।
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 जिब आठ दिन पूरे होए अर उसकै खतने का बखत आया, तो उसका नाम यीशु धरया गया, अर यो नाम सुर्गदूत के जरिये, मरियम के गर्भ म्ह आण तै पैहल्या बताया गया था।
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 जिब मूसा नबी कै नियम-कायदा कै मुताबिक मरियम अर यूसुफ कै सूंच्चे होण के दिन पूरे होए, तो वे दोन्नु यीशु नै यरुशलेम नगर के मन्दर म्ह लेगे के प्रभु कै स्याम्ही ल्याए,
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 (जिसा के प्रभु के नियम-कायदा म्ह लिख्या होड़ सै: हरेक जेट्ठा बेट्टा प्रभु कै खात्तर पवित्र ठहरैगा।)
in compliance with the Law of the Lord that every firstborn male will be dedicated to the Lord,
24 अर प्रभु कै नियम-कायदा कै वचन कै मुताबिक “एक कबूतर या मोड्डी कै दो बच्चे ल्याकै बलि करै।”
and also to offer the sacrifice required by the Law of the Lord – a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons.
25 उस बखत यरुशलेम नगर म्ह शमौन नाम का एक माणस था। वो धर्मी अर परमेसवर का भगत था, अर वो मसीह की बाट देखण लागरया था, ताके इस्राएल के माणसां नै शान्ति मिलै अर पवित्र आत्मा उसपै था।
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 अर पवित्र आत्मा के जरिये उसपै जाहिर होया था के जिब तक वो प्रभु के मसीह नै देख न्ही लेगा, जद ताहीं मौत नै कोनी देक्खैगा।
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not die until he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 शमौन आत्मा की अगुवाई तै मन्दर म्ह आया, अर जिब माँ-बाप उस बाळक यीशु ताहीं भीत्त्तर ल्याए, ताके उसकै खात्तर नियम-कायदा के रिवाज कै मुताबिक करै,
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 फेर उसनै बाळक यीशु ताहीं अपणी गोद्दी म्ह लिया अर परमेसवर का धन्यवाद करकै कह्या
Simeon himself took the child in his arms, and blessed God, and said:
29 “हे प्रभु माल्लिक, इब तू अपणे दास नै अपणे वचन कै मुताबिक शान्ति तै इब मर जाणदे,
“Now, Lord, you will let your servant go, according to your word, in peace,
30 क्यूँके मेरी आँखां नै उद्धारकर्ता ताहीं देख लिया सै,
for my eyes have seen the salvation
31 जिस ताहीं तन्नै सारे देशां के माणसां कै स्याम्ही भेज्या सै,
which you have prepared in the sight of all nations –
32 ताके वो गैर यहूदियाँ ताहीं चाँदणा देण कै खात्तर उजाळा, अर तेरे अपणे माणस इस्राएल की महिमा हो।”
a light to bring light to the Gentiles, and to be the glory of your people Israel.”
33 यीशु के माँ-बाप इन बात्तां तै, जो शमौन नै यीशु कै बारें म्ह कही थी, सुणकै अचम्भा करै थे।
While the child’s father and mother were wondering at what was said about him,
34 फेर शमौन नै उन ताहीं आशीर्वाद देकै, उसकी माँ मरियम तै कह्या, “देख, यो बाळक इस्राएल म्ह भोत-से माणसां के पतन अर उत्थान का कारण बणैगा, अर या निशान्नी के रूप म्ह परमेसवर की ओड़ तै भेज्या होया सै, अर भोत सारे लोग उसकै बिरुध बोल्लैगें।
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 इसका नतिज्जा यो होगा के भोत सारे मनां के विचार जाहिर हो जावैंगे, अर एक भोत बड़ा दुख तेरे पै आवैगा।”
Yes, the sword will pierce your own heart – and so the thoughts in many minds will be disclosed.”
36 अशेर कै गोत म्ह तै हन्नाह नामक फनूएल की बेट्टी एक नबी थी। वा घणी बूढ़ी थी, अर ब्याह होण कै सात साल पाच्छै उसका धणी गुजर ग्या।
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 वा चौरासी साल तै बिधवा थी: अर मन्दर म्ह जाणा कोनी छोड्या करै थी, पर ब्रत अर प्रार्थना कर-करकै रात-दिन भगति करया करै 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 जिब यूसुफ, मरियम अर बाळक यीशु, मन्दर म्ह थे, तो हन्नाह उनकै धोरै आई अर परमेसवर का धन्यवाद करण लाग्गी, अर उसनै उन सारया ताहीं इस बाळक यीशु के बारें म्ह बताया, जो यरुशलेम कै छुटकारै की बाट देक्खै थे।
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 यहूदी नियम-कायदा नै पूरा करण कै बाद यूसुफ अर मरियम गलील परदेस के नासरत नगर म्ह अपणे घरां बोहड़ आये।
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 अर बाळक यीशु बढ़दा, अर मजबूत होन्दा, अर बुद्धि तै भरपूर होंदा गया, अर परमेसवर का अनुग्रह उसपै था।
The child grew and became strong and wise, and the blessing of God was on him.
41 यीशु के माँ-बाप हरेक साल फसह कै त्यौहार म्ह यरुशलेम जाया करै थे।
Every year the child’s parents used to go to Jerusalem at the Passover Festival.
42 जिब यीशु बारहां साल का होया, तो वे त्यौहार की रीति कै मुताबिक यरुशलेम नगर म्ह गए।
When Jesus was twelve years old, they went according to custom to Jerusalem,
43 जिब यीशु के माँ-बाप त्यौहार मनाकै अपणे घरां बोहड़ण लागरे थे, तो बाळक यीशु यरुशलेम म्ह रहग्या, अर इसका उसकै माँ-बाप नै कोनी बेरा था।
and had finished their visit; but, when they started to return, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, without their knowing it.
44 वे न्यू समझकै के वो दुसरे मुसाफिरां कै गेल्या होगा, एक दिन का सफर पार करगे: अर उस ताहीं अपणे कुण्बे आळा म्ह अर जाण-पिच्छाण आळा म्ह टोह्ण लाग्गे।
Thinking that he was with their fellow travelers, they went one day’s journey before searching for him among their relatives and acquaintances;
45 पर जिब कोनी मिल्या, टोन्दे-टोन्दे यरुशलेम म्ह दुबारै बोहड़गे,
and then, as they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching everywhere for him.
46 अर तीन दिन कै पाच्छै उननै वो मन्दर के आँगण म्ह उपदेशकां कै बिचाळै बेठ्ठे, उनकी सुणदे अर उनतै सवाल बुझते पाया।
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 जितने उसकी सुणै थे, वे सारे उसकी समझ अर उसके जवाब तै हैरान थे।
All who listened to him marveled at his intelligence and his answers.
48 फेर उसके माँ-बाप उस ताहीं देखकै हैरान होए अर उसकी माँ नै उसतै कह्या, “हे बेट्टे, तन्नै म्हारै गेल्या इसा बरताव क्यातै करया? देख, तेरा बाप अर मै तन्नै ढूँढ़-ढूँढ़के परेशान होरे थे?”
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 उसनै उनतै कह्या, “थम मन्नै क्यातै टोह्वो सो? के बेरा कोनी मन्नै मेरे पिता कै घरां होणा जरूरी सै?”
“What made you search for me?” he answered. “Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
50 पर जो बात उसनै उनतै कही, उननै कोनी समझया।
His parents did not understand what he meant.
51 फेर वो उनकै गेल्या गया, अर नासरत म्ह आया, अर उनकै बस म्ह रह्या, अर उसकी माँ नै ये सारी बात अपणे मन म्ह राक्खी।
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 अर यीशु समझ अर कद-काट्ठी म्ह, अर परमेसवर अर माणसां कै अनुग्रह म्ह बढ़दा गया।
And Jesus grew in wisdom as he grew in years, and gained the blessing of God and people.
